Our latest nows from Charleston isto the effect that there is every probability that a combined attack of our army and naval forces will be made on the oity within’ ten days from this time. All preparations were ready for such an event at last. secounts; but it had not commenced. It appears, from despatches received in Wash- ington yesterday from Chattanooga, that the communications of General Rosecrans are com- . plete, that the rebels who have been attacking his outposts are all dispersed, and that the condi- tion of his army is excellent. From General Meade’s army we learn that the ‘enemy is moving, and that our army may be pat in motion also. Further than this it. would not be proper to refer to the operations of the Army of the Potomac. Our despatches from General Banks’ depart- ment to-day give in detail the events concerning the expedition into the Teche country. Despatches from Knoxville, Tenn., report a bask engagement "of General Burnside’s corps, near Blue Spring, on Thufsday and Friday last. fight was renewod on Sanday, when tho rebels were driven from the field. We lost sixty men in killed and wounded. The guerillas in Missouri have been active of tate. They sacked and plundered Booneville and other towns. It is said that General Kirby Smith has made a junction with General Price, and that they are both moving on Little Rock, Arkansas. EUROPEAN NEWS. The steamship Jura, from Queenstown on the 2d ef October, passcd Father Point yesterday on her voyage to Quebec. Her newsis one day later. Earl Russell, in reply to a memorial from the Manchester Southern Club, stated that he feared there was little use in the English government making representations at Washington on the * an- relenting and exterminating character of the war,’’ as he was requested to do by the memorial- ista. The statement made in their paper would, however, be officially reported to the Lincoln Cabinet. The Paria correspondent of the London Post says it was feared there that the British govern- ment was about ‘‘to become less indulgent to- wards the South as regards the building of vessels for war purposes.” This may, it is snid, affect the policy of the French . A Paris writer in the London @lobe states that Napoleon cares little for either the federal or rebel cause, only inasmuch as their bearings affect the Moaican question, The rebel cotton loan advanced five per cent on the announcement of Rosecrans’ late check by Bragg’s army. John Bull, as expressed in the London Times, was greatly offended at the non-payment of the last dividends on the Virginia State debt in Lon- don, and Governor Letcher’s plausible explanation was far from satisfying him. A fall report of the important speech which Earl Russell delivered lately in Scotland appears in our columns to-day. The position of England towards Poland and Russia, Mexico and the United and rebel States of America, is set forth at con- siderable length and with muchability. ‘The Min- ister stated that the rebol rams would be detained, even if the Cabinet had to apply to Parliament*for extraordinary powers. The London 7¥mes thinks that such s course will lead to serious embarrass- ments—diplomatic executive, and parliamentary. The Prussian government had demanded that all public functionaries should actively support its candidates in the coming elections. It was regarded as certain in Paris that Maxi- milian would accept the Mexican throne. The Liverpool cotton market on the 2d instant was buoyant. Breadstufls were heavy and provi- sions steady. The City of Baltimore, from Queenstown on the Cat instant, reached this port last night, The mails of the North American from Quebec coached this city also last night. Our files are dated to the 30th ultimo, and contain some very important details of the news. A magnificent private banquet was, last evening, given to the Admiral of the Russian fect now in our port, ia which ‘it was expected that Baron Steeckl, the diplomatic representative of Ruasia, would have been present. Urgent matters, how- ever, prevented bis participation in the festivi- tins, All the principal officers of the squadron wow in our barbor were present, dressed ia ful in, Neo. 284 | which the city is now paying hundreds of thou, | therefore, well afford to bear cheerfully the com- Say, Was most exquisite, The Hon.

Speeches were also made by the Russian Consul General, Baron Osten Sacken, Admirals Lisovski snd Farragut, | Henry Winter Davis, Dr. Chapin, Dr. Hitchcock, Horace Greeley, Mr. Wadsworth, Mr. Gould, Cap- tain Kremer, of the Russian Navy, and some others, The proceedings, which were of the most pleasant and harmonious character, terminated at a little past midnight. There were o number of ladies present, who greatly added to the brilliancy of the tout ensemble. The music was very fine, and the air of “God save the Czar’ was loudly ap- planded. ICELLANEOUS NEWS. The Board of Aldermen were in session yester- day afternoon, and transacted a largy amount of routine business, Two veto messages were re- | ceived from the Mayor—one in reference to the ordinance for a sewer, receiving basins and cul- verts in Hudson street, between Hamersley and Houston streets, and the other io disapproval of thie ordinance for paving Eighty-feurth street, be- tween Third and Fourth avenues, and carbing and guttering the same. Both measages were laid on | the table and ordcred to be printed. Several re- solutions were adopted altering the polling places in various election districts. Among a numberof other papers received (rom the Board of Council- men and acted upon was one in reference to ap> pointing a committee of the Common Council to accompany the remains of the late Col. M. R. Bryan to Albany, and requesting Gen, Sandford'to detach one company of the city militia as a guard of honor. The matter was laid over. A resolution to build a pier at the foot of West Twenty-fourth street was adopted. A report from the Commit- tee on Wharves, Piers and Slips, in favor of changing the landings of the North and East river steamboats, was received and laid over. The Board adjourned to ‘Thursday next at one o'clock, In the Board of Councilmon last evening a message was received from the Mayor vetoing the resolution dirceting the Street Commissioner to transmit to the Common Council an estimate of the damage done to the public parks and squares of this city during their occupancy by the, United States troops, that steps might be taken to have them put.in proper repair, and the amount thus expended be paid to the Corporation of the.city of New York by the gencral government. The reasons assigned by the Mayor for withholding his signature from the above resolution were that he had good reagon to believe the presence of the United States troops in this city prevented a repe- tition of the scenes of arson, pillage and blood- shed which characterized the riot in July last, for sands of dollars, and he thought the city might, paratively trifling damage to our parks. Laid over, ander the rules. After a short session, dur- ing which the business transacted was of an un- important nature, the Board adjourned until Thursday next at four o'clock. In the Surrogate’s Court yesterday an appli- cation was heard to compel the executrix to. give security for the due administering of the estate of the late A. M. L. Scott. The application is made by the committee of one. of the legatees, a lung- tic, The Surrogate directed the taking of teati- mony as to the circumstances of the executrix. ‘The estate is very large, and the will of Mr: Scott contained a trust of $40,000, which the Surrogate has declared void, as of unlawful duration.” The Hopper will case was then proceeded with, and occupied the day. The Canadian Parliament will be prorogued on ‘Thursday. , The City Inspector’s report states) that there were 420 deaths in the city during thé past week— a decrease of 28.as compared with the mortall- ty of the week previous, and 34 more than oo- eurcd during the corresponding week last | year. The recapitatation table gives 4 deaths of alcobolisin, 4 of diseases of the bones, joints, &.; 80 of the brain and nerves, 7 of the generative or- gans. 14 of tho heart and blood vessels, 133 of the lungs, throat, &c.; 4 of old age, 16 of dis- eases of tho skin and eruptive fevers, 6 premature births, 92 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and | other digestive orgaus; 28 of uncertain seat and The rebels numbered some six thousand.

There were 268 natives of the United States, 12 or England, 115 of Ireland, 4 of Scot- land, 21 of Germany, and the balance of various foreign countries. ‘The stock market was dull, but steady, yesterday morning, but better and quite strong in tho afteroon. Gold rose to 152, closing at 161% 8 162. Exchange was done at 166 in the morning; in the afternoon bankers de- clined to name a rate, * Money was easy; cail toans 6 por cent, ‘The bank statement shows a decline of $2,616,211 in deposits, an jucrense of $164,129 im loans, and a de- crease of $137,333 in specie. The demand for cotton was fair and prices wore buoyant yesterday. There was more doing in broad- stuffs early In the day at higher rates, but the market was depressed at the close. The inquiry for provisions was animated, partly on speculation, and large sales of pork and lard wore effected at improved prices. There were less extensive transactions, reported in groceries, salt and whiskey, the latter article closing heavily and irregularly. A fair business was transacted to hops, fruit and wool, Hay was ip good demand. Tallow was more (reoly purchased and was dearer. The freight mar- ket was depressed, with limited engagements reported. The Pending Ei ms in Pennsylvania and Onlo. ‘The local elections which take place to-day in Pennsylvania and Obio have been magnified by te politicians on both sides as involving nothing less and nothing else, whatever the re- sult may be, than the ruin of the country. In Pennsylvania, for example, the democratic electioneering journals and stumpers have for days and weeks ‘been warning the people that the consequences of the re-election of Governor Curtin will be the complete overthrow of the federal constitution, and the erection on its ruins of @ permanent and absolute military despotism at Washington; while the republican electioneering agents have quite as stoutly con- tended, and still maintain, that the election of Woodward will inevitably bring about the de- feat of our armies in the South, inextricable confusion in the North, the triumph of Jeff. Davis and his Southern confederacy, and all through the immense power for mischief which will thus be given to the traitorous copper- beads of the North, as allies of the rebellion and enemles of the Union. “Do you wish,” says the democratic trampeter, “to endorse all the blunders and corruptions of the ad- ministration? that the habeas corpus, individual liberty, freedom of speech and free elections shall be wholly superseded by bayonets, arbi trary arrests, negro equality and never ending conscriptions? All you have to do. my fellow citizens, is to re-elect this supple instrument of arbitrary power, Governor Curtiy.” But the re- publican alarmist can bray quite as noisily and terribly over the riots and rufflanism, and the treasonable plots and combinations, which will recall our armies from the South and our European enemies to the relief and establish- ment of a Southern confederacy in consequence of the eleetion of Woodward. But as we understand this contest in Penn- sylvania upon the great and paramount ques tion of the day—the vigorous prosecution of the war—the cause of the Union will pot suffer by the election of either H ERALD, TUESD AY the former we have no apprehensions that Bonest Abe Linectn will declare the functions Of the federal constitution saspended and % | Permanent hereditary despotism established Upon the basis of negro equality. Nordo we fear thas, should Judge Woodward be elected, his success will be followed by an armed revo- lutionary movement in the North aga:nst the administration at Washington, beginning in Pennsylvania. On the contrary, Judge Wood- ward stands upon a conservative war platform, which, separated from the secondary partisan issues of the day, is substantially the platform Of Governor Curtin, ‘ What is to be done with the négrot what is to be done with the mountain of public debt which bas grown up out of the war? and what with ¢his mountain of paper money? and by what methods and devices are the secoded States to be restored to the Unignt are intorcet- ing and important. questions; but before we can reach them, or any of them, for practical Purposes, we must put down the armed forces of the rebetlion. The prosecution of the war is the great work and the all-absorbing duty before us ‘until we’ shall have crushed these rebel armies. President Lincotn, ‘as the con- stitutional head of the government for the time being, is proseouting this work, and ‘must be sustained by tha loyal States in the great essentials of meu and money, or the govera- ment is at anecnd and the country falls to pieces. The masecs of the people of both par- ties, in Pennsylvania and throughout the North, fully understand these things, in spite of all the perversions, misrepresentations and false issues presented by the miserable plotting poli- ticians of the day. The great body of the Northern people know that Mr. Lincoln’s ad- ministration has proved itself weak, temporiz- ing, blundering and inefficient from the outset to the present time; but they know, oo, that, while it must be supported and strengthened in. all needful measures against the armies of the rebellion, the year 1864 will bring about. the proper occasion for a decisive popular judg: ment upon all that has been done by this ad- ministration, and upon all that it has failed to do. As the only practical question, then, of any moment involved in this day’s election in Pennsylvania is the vigorous prosecution of the war, and as there is no very material difference upon this question between the platform of Governor Curtin and that of Judge Wood- ward, we bave no fears that the constitution will be destroyed or that the country will be ruined by eitier the clection of the one or the other. On the contrary, whatever may be the result, we shall accept it, as the fact will only” warrant us in accepting: it, as the voice of the people.of a loyal State ‘in favor of an energetic prosecution of the war-as the only road , that.ia, offered us for-peace. fa -this. view, white the defeat of Curtin will be a rebuke to the admin- istration; his’ ye-election can hardly be con. | ietrued into a compliment, the great issue being the necessity: of pushing on the war, and not the merits or demerits.of the,.administration. That issue is held in reserve for the Presiden- tial campaign. * J With regard to Ohio, we presume that Val-' landigham will be defeated. A different re- sult, under the circumstanc=), will be some- what surprising to all concerned, after the late elections in Maine and Californis. Weex- pect to announce to-morrow morning the re- sult in both Obio and Pennsylvania; and, with these elections out of the way,“we shall expect, in any event, @ more vigorous prosecutiomof the war. The Latest ats of the War. - The rebels, finding it o hazardous enter- prise to attempt to push General Rosecrans out of Chattanooga by,a direct assault, are evi dently resolved to do their utmost to cut off his supplies and his communica- tions in the rear. After some partial successes, however, in the capture or de- struction of a train or two, it appears that the detachment engaged in this business, several thousand strong, was thoroughly beaten and put to flight on Saturday last, and that the roads between Chattanooga and Nashville are again open, This, however, cannot last long. Uniess sufficiently strong to turn the tables on the enemy, General Rosecrans will be apt to find abundant employment in guarding his lines of communication. But we are led to be- lieve that he is now sufficiently reinforced to as- sume the offensive in full strength; and so, while the rebels are operating in his rear, he may sud- denly astonish them in front or by another flank movement like that which burried off Bragg from Middle Tennessee into Georgia. In the meantime the late cavalry skirmishes on one of the tributaries of the Rapidan indi- cate a disposition on the part of the enemy in that quarter to try the strength of the army of General Meade. It is possible that, acting un- der their information of the dopletion of the army to the extent of four corps, the rebels may believe themselves the masters of the situ- ation, and may'thiw invite a general engage- ment. If they do not, we should think that General Meade would do well to ascertain the real strength of the opposing army bya re- connoissance in force. It may be that these bold offensive demonstrations of Stuart are only inttended to cover the weakness of Lee and to gain further time for the reinforcement of Bragg. Inany event, ‘we think that it would be a good thing on the part of General Meade to compel the enemy in his front to show his real strength by a reconnoissance which will compel him to bring it forward or to abandon “bis present lines of observation. A seasonable cutting of the great Southern railroads running through North Carolina would have placed General Rosectans in oo- cupation of Atlanta, Georgia, before the late battle near Chattanooga was fought. We have never been able to understand why the move- ment of a powerful Union column from New- bern to Raleigh, or from the navigable waters of Albemarle Sound to Weldon, has never beeu tried. A successful enterprise in either direc- tion even now would cut off all communication between Richmond and the army of Bragg, and we hope that somebody at Washington will be sharp enough to bring this suggestion to the attention of the War Office. We are promised that our next news from Charteston will be that an active bombardment on a grand scale has been resumed against that devoted city ; and we hope that this pro- mise may be fulfilled ; for, next to some ao- tivity on the part of General Meade aud Gen- of a bold and decisive character against | have ten thowsaod dollars per year to spend on | in favor of militery despotism it will ‘ee Charleston as well calculated to weaken Bragg and to stréngthen Rosecrana oa the frontiers of Georgia.
