TRIPLE SHEET. y, November 1, 1863. THB BITUATION. There are no new movements in the Army of the Potomac. The weather is intensely cold, and the troops are preparing to habituate themselves to the comforts of winter quarters. No operations in the vicinity of Chattanooga are reported. From Charleston we hear nothing to-day of the result of the recent bombardment. i General Hayes, who is to replace Colonel Nugent as Assistant Provost Marshal General in this city, is to have authority as general superintendent of the volunteer recruiting service, and chief muster- ing and disbursing officer for the first ten districts of New York, including the city. The United States mail steamship George Wash- ington, which arrived at this port yesterday from New Orleans, brings dates to the 24th, and copious communications from our correspondents there, showing the operations of the army in the ficld, and the preparations for a new secret expe- dition, the objects of which of course are not re- vealed. The Richmond Enquirer of the 27th ultimo, on the question of the Confederate currency says:— “The condition of the currency has become so alarming that its importance has risen even above the excitement of military movements. From very quarter of the confederacy, easays, schemes, expedients and remedies daily scattered broadcast the country, and suggestions of every character description are urged. One thing is certain and indisputable, that the present finan- cial management ia an utter and absolute failure, rendered 80 not by Mr. Memminger, but by the people themselves. The funding scheme of Mr. M. could succeed only by the prompt and co-operation of the people, by coming forward and continuing to convert the It is not necessary to in- quire into the reasons why the people have failed. ‘The fact that they have not and will not volunta- rily fund the currency ia an important matter for legislative consideration.” MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The united democracy of Tammany and Mozart Halls had a great mass ratification meeting last evening at the Cooper Institute, at which Mr. A. Oakoy Hall presided. The assemblage was a vast one, and it showed its sentiments by cheers for McClellan, for the democratic ticket, for Gover- nor Seymour's friends, for the next administration, with ellan and Seymour at its heed, and—in a rather strange connection—for the Poles, The last sentiment was most enthusiastically re- sponded to. On the other hand, there were groans for the man who suspended the habeas corpus, for the man who isqpes the greenbacks, for Sumner, for the renegades from the democratic party, and finally following cheers for the Poles—there were groans for the Russiens—and groans given with more than naual zest and vim. Was this because the Russian government is understood to be friendly to the American government? That is the sbvions explacstion of this curious feature in our tity politier. ‘The reception given to Governor Seymour was most flattering, A large part of his Ipecch was intended to enforce the doctrine that, }: the war to restore the Union, the power of con- on should be superadded to force. He said he Vice President of the United States—for are over and peraisting currency into bonds. © tha whom the audience groaned lustily—bad re- cent declared that they could not have nas it was; but he would tell ident that they would have it. ther the war, with its monstrous was to be carried on till South were subjugated—and He expressed outhern people, folds of the conati- waste of human life, the peop! th tn ’ allegiance.

C., of Ohio, who epent over an hour in reviling and ridiculing the Union government, and in st foment discord be- tween it ant the State g toments. There was also a very large outside gathering in Astor place, at which several speeches were made. Our special correspondence from Europe, dated fn London, Paris and Berlin, which we publish to- day, contains a very interesting resume of the political situation existing on the Continent when dhe Canada sailed from Queenstown, A very va- ried compilation from our foreign files is also given.

A late letter from Alexandria, Egypt, represents the present cotton crop of that country as very immense and of great value, In the Surrogate’s Court yesterday, an order was made appropriating the interest of money belonging to Claus Albers’ estate for the support. and education of his infant daughter. The ac- counts of the estates of Rose Gaffney and Nelly Johnson were finally settled and the assets dis- tributed. The Surrogate then adjourned his court over to Thursday of next week, when the disputed will of Mrs. Sophia Dayton will be taken up. The vote for Governor of Massachusetts last year was as follows:— Republican Democratic Republican majority......-.+s..essseseee 25,548 —By the misspelling of the name of the democra- tic candidate on some of the tickets, one thousand seven hundred votes were thrown out by the offi- cial canvassers, which Greeley entirely ignores in his Almanac, besides adding one thousand to Governor Andrew's vote. The democratic journals of this State are not very sanguine of success on Tuesday next. The formidable array of republican stump speakers has frightened them. In West Virginia Jacob B. Blair, republican, is elected to Congress in the First district; Col. Frost, conservative, probably chosen in the Second, and William G. Brown in the Third. The factory of A. Hall & Son, at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, was burned early on Friday morning. Loss $30,000. No insurance. Twelve rebel captains and eleven lieutenants wore transferred from Gratiot street prison, St. Louis, to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, on the 28th. The day for the election of member of Congress in Delaware has not yet been fixed by the Gover- nor. The candidates are Mr. N. B. Smithers, the present Secretary of State, whose sentiments are for the Union without an if, and Hon. Charles- Brown, formerly Collector of the Port of Philadel phia, who, it is supposed, is slightly tinctured with copperheadism. Money was again very active yesterday, at seven per cent for call loans. Gold was lower in the morning, and was comparatively steady at 14514 until noon, whon it was rather better, and closed at 146%. Stocks took an upward turn, and everything on the list showed an ad- ‘vance. The rain storm interfered materially with all business yoesterday,and the attendance on the several ‘changes with which Now York is now provided was slim in the extreme. The markets were generally dull alroady, but the dujness was intensified by the rain. The variations in gold—that great regulator of business negotiations— ‘wore comparatively slight; but the day being stormy was almost as great a check to business as aro the ‘ups’ and ‘ downs” in gold. At the Produce Exchange there was a feeling of goneral depression, and nearly all com- modities experienced a slight decline, as compared with Friday’s quotations. Cotton was dull and lower. Groceries were very quiet. Petroleum was very dull, and lower, acd the same might bo said of nearly all commo- ities. President Linco! om the Mexican Question. Mr. Lincoln has determined to take no of- ficial notice at present of the French invasion of Mexico. Our President, with that shrewd common sense which distinguishes him, as- serts that we have enough on our hands at present without getting into further trouble. When we are prepared to pay our undivided attention to the Mexican question, and act upon it with vigor and decision, then we will take up the affair and bring to bear upon it ail our great power and influence. Our pre- sent duty, says the President, is to put down the rebellion. When that is done weshall be at liberty to assert the dignity of our govern- ment and cause all parties to respect us and obey our demands. In this wise conclusion President Lincoln will be fully vindicated by the people, who, although most anxious to save this continent from the disgrace of foreign invasion, are yet more anxious to see the Union restored to all its great power. Mr. Lincoln asserts that the people of Mexico have our good will, and that we sympathize with them, and would gladly see them freed from all oppression. In this he but repeats the sentiments of our people, who are all states- men, and fully understand the Mexican im- broglio in all its bearings; but atthe same time the loyal citizens of the North are fully aware that our first duty is to crush the re- bellion. This we are ina fair way to accom- plish. It may be said that with an iron clasp we clutch the throat of se- cession. A few more struggles, a few more throes, and the monster shall lie dead at our feet. On all sides the people of the South are waking up to the dreadful reality of their position. They are now aware that in Europe they will in vain look for friends. England has abandoned them. She seizes the rams, and thus gives to the world a proof that, as far as she is concerned, Davis and his compeers need expect no further sympathy. France dare not act alone in favor of the South; and thus Davis must fall. He has no more men, no more treasure. He must be defeated. We,on the contrary, have on all sides evidences of an increasing prosperity, and a determination on the part of the people to support the war policy. We are proving this by the assistance given to the administration in ® financial sense. The daily sales of five- twenty bonds are now enormous, as, for in- stance, last Thursday, nearly $4,000,000 ; Fri- day, $6,500,000; Saturday, probably more. Of these bonds tbe people have taken and paid for, at par, $325,000,000 since April, and it seems certain the whole issue of $500,000,000 will be taken before New Year. Then, from other sources, the government receives mone- tary aid. The customs receipts, which are pay- able in gold, average a quarter of a million daily at this port alone. From this source the Treasury Department bas accumulated already twelve millions in gold. These are encour- aging facta, and, when contrasted with the utter misery of the South, foreshadow its impending ruin. We aregnuch mistaken if, in the long run, the Emperor Napoleon shall not find President Lin- coln more than a match for him in this Mexican business. Whilst the one, years since, was splitting rails in the far West, the other was splitting sixpences in the coulisses and billiard roomsof London. The one exercise is far more conducive to health and mental vigor than the other, and we venture to predict that Old Abe wil prove a matob for Nap. Just as the Rus sians allowed the anmies of the first Napoleon to penetrate far, far into the interior of their cold and bloak country, knowing, as they did, that the further he went the more difficult would be his retreat, so will we allow Napoleon the Third to sink deeper and deeper into his Mexican slough, from whence, at our good will and leisure, we shall drag him forth, and toas him, covered with filth and disgraced by failure, back to his own dunghill, where he may, if he choose, crow until he bursts.

American Stump Speakers and the Inde- pondent Press. Of all the afflictions of the present suffering age that of American stump speakers is per- haps the worst. Not that English etump speak- ers are, on the whole, any more endurable ; but we are always apt to exaggerate our own personal share of a common malady, and there- fore we refer more particularly to the Ameri- can type of this oratorical influenza. During political times those people who attend the meetings of the different parties are deluged with a flood ef twaddle from stump speakers; and they deserve their fate for their foolishness in attending the meetings. But even those of us who stay sensibly at home are by no means exempt. We do not bear the speech; but we are compelled to read it in the newspapers. Why under the sun the editors publish such trash we can scarcely explain. Perhaps it is from custom and habit. Perhaps it is under a mistaken idea that the speeches are a sort of news, and that the public desires to see thém. Perhaps it is because other editors set the bad example. At any rate, column after column is printed every day, and yet no one can satis- factorily answer the question why journals should waste valuable space in publishing non- sense because it was spoken by Mr. This or That, when they would have refused it had it been sent to them as a communication. Take all of the political speakers who are now shouting themselves hoarse and thelr au- diences deaf over the approaching election in this State, and to what do they all amount? Nothing. Take all of our stump speakers, from Secretary Chase down, and what do they all say? Nothing. They talk a geeat deal; but their utterances are mere sounding words. The best speoch Mr. Chase ever made,was at Cincinnati; and he might better have stopped with that; for he has been maundering ever since. There is Governor Seymour, who is trying to spout bimself into the next Presi- dency, but who spouts so badly that there will be very little left of him when the next Demo- cratic National Convention assembles. We have about one hundred more such stump orators as these now palavering among us, and they emit nothing but wind. Senator Wilson is in this State meking speeches, which would be revolutiouary if they were not silly, and which would be true if they were not totally false. Governor Yates is here, uttering blasphemies and telling bar- room stories, and thinking himself an orator. Forney is bere, displaying himself upon the stump, and apparently ignorant of the fact that to be a good speaker a man must possess a good character and seme ideas, and that, therefore, he will never have a chance in the oratorical line. Even Poor Greeley once in a while essays to deliver a speech, and blunders at it as badly as he does in his paper, when any phrenologist could inform him that gift enter- prises, and not journalism or oratory, is bis ap- propriate avocation. Such stump speakers as these are simply beneath contempt. Then we have the Irish orator, Mr. James T. Brady, whose elocution is pleasing ‘because of the brogue, but who never made as excellont s speech in his life as be did at the famous Miles O'Reilly banquet. Consequently we advise him to retire upon the laurels he gained on that occasion, and reserve his cloquence for the bar. The Chevalier Raymond is an orator of another kind; for he writes milk and water articles in the Times, and then repeats them, without the milk, from the rostram. Senator Hale, of New Hampshire, another republican advocate, has just wit enough for a circus clown; but his oratory is about on a par with the addresses which a farmer would deliver to a lazy team of horses. The only other name upon the list of orators before us which is at all worthy of mention is that of Senator Chandler, of Michigan, who owes his temporary importance to the fact that he once uttered base slanders against McClellan and did not die as soon as his libels did. These are specimens of our present stump speakers. We should blush to compare thom with Web- ster and Clay and the other stump speakers of the past, upon whom the mantles of Demos- thenes and Cicero had fallen, and whose voices moved the nation as they willed. Wendell Phillips, upon the radical side, and General Frank Blair, upon the conservative side, are almost the only ecions of the old oratorical stock whom fate has left us; and how far re- moved are they from their mighty prede- cessors! A. Oakey Hall, whose recent clever speech at Syracuse we publish this morn- ing, is another stump speaker who shows blood, and is the probable successor of Tristram Bur- gess, of Rhode Island, whose sarcasm drove Randolph frém the Senate. But theso few, like a gleam of light in dark room, only serve to make the general darkness more evident. We object to our stump speakers because they have no statesmanlike ideas, no national feeling, no extensive grasp of intellect, no independence of mere partisan issucs, no apt- ness in popularizing great thoughts, no broad, comprehensive views of current events, no power to foretell or to shape the future. Our stump speaking, like all our political oratory in and out of Congress, is a vor pravterea nihil— a voice and nothing else. Wo should regret this more sincerely were we not aware that nature always makes compensation for the losses she inflicts. We have been deprived of our true stump speakers; but we now have the independent press. This obviates all necessity for such orators, and consequently thdy have ceased to exist. The press speaks daily to millions of people; and no orator, were he gifted with the sublimest genius, the most entrancing eloquence and the largest possible lungs, could reach so many auditors and produce eo poten- tial an effect. The newspaper is the substitute for the epeaker. It does all bis work and some- thing more. It is gradually but surely push- ing him into oblivion, and by and by he will disappear, like all other obsolete things; for nothing is retained in the world which has served its purpose and is no longer useful. Tt is true thet some speakers assert that the nows- papers widen and deepen the influence of ora- tors by publishing their discourses; but this is only @ pretty piece of sophistry. As the infin. ence of the press increases that of oratory les- sens. In twenty lines we can refute a speech of four columns; and, in nine cases out of ten, our — will be read and the speech will not. This demonstrates practically the relative of the editor and the speaker, even when editor kindly publishes the speech How much greater is this power when the spovch is paver pebljeisd ah ali The News from Japan—Fresh Compliica- We have, within a few days, published intelli- gence from Japan of an important character. The telograpbic summary is very meagre, and we have not the dates of the occurrences that are reported to have taken place. But these, with further details, will reach us when our files come to hand. It appears that the fleet of tho British Admiral Kuper had arrived at Ragose- ma, and, failing to obtain satisfaction for his de- mands, he fired upon the city, utterly destroyed it, burned three steamers, and returned to Yokahama. The palace of Prince Satzuma, the factories and the public arsenals were all in- volved in the common ruin. Our readers may recollect that certain de- mands were made in July last upon the Ja- panese government by Admiral Kuper. They included the payment of £10,000 for the fami- lies of the men murdered at the British Lega- tion on the 26th of June, 1862, and £100,000 asapenalty on Japan for aa attack on the Tokiado, when a British subject named Rich- ardson was killed. These sums were paid by the Japanese on the 24th of June last, about a year subsequent to the ocourrence of the difficulties that caused the demands. As atated at the time, this was some- thing off the account; but a beavy balance, or, a8 the British Charge d’Affaires expressed it, “the more important portion of the repara- tion required,” remainod behind, and that was from the government an ample and formal apo- logy for permitting the attack, and from Prince Satzuma the trial and execution of the murder- ors of Richardson andthe payment of £26,000 for his relatives and to those who escaped the swords of the assassins. Towards the end of June, after the tender of two apologies, which were not considered by the British Charge of a sufficiently ample character, another and a more full and complete one was given, and considered satisfactory. This seemed to end matters for the moment. But in the meantimo means. were taken by the native princes to arouse the country; and everywhere the note of preparation was sounded, implements of war were made, forte were built and repaired, and it was doubted if there was a man in the coun- try who would favor the introduction of for- eigners. During the greater part of the year the residences of the ambassadors for England and France at Jeddo had beon virtually aban- doned, and negotiations were carried on at Yokahams. The American Minister remained at Jeddo until bis house was burned dowu to drive bim out. The whole country was thrown into a state of frenzy, the populace were armed, and the extermination of all foreigners was loudly and persistently demanded. Prior to the intelligence received yesterday, our latest reports from Japan brought us rumors that the Prince Sateuma was waiting for the British forces to commence hostilities in his territories, and that he and “his allies—that is to say, all the damios and ronans in Kin-sin and Shikohf, and several in South Niphon— would then’ retaliate in any way they could. There was another report, however, that Sat- zuma was anxious for » peaceful settlement, and that he was willing to make a separate treaty with Great Britain. That such has not jbeon the case is evident from the destruction of his city and palace by the guns of the British Admiral. Thus has Great Britain, obedient to her natural instincts, interposed ber rapacious hand, under a ples of demanding indemnifica- tion and satisfaction in a case where both were once clearly accorded, and by so doing has aroused the indignation and resentment of an innocent and peace-loving people against the whole civilized world, with perhaps the excep- tion of two governmente—Russia and the Netherlands. The policy of both England and France in regard to Japan has been that of thwarting the designs of the United States to open a lucrative commerce with the people of that country, and exasperate the Japanese against the Americans. The United States never bad cause to quarrel or fight with Japan until the war steamer Wyoming was fired into, in pursuance of the determination of the Japanese, incensed as they were by the demands of Brit ish admirals and vice-consuls, to exterminate all foreigners. The Americans have always been on terms of peace and good will with these people, and their treaties and commercial compacts were never violated until the envy and jealousy of the English and French aroused the hate of the natives, and caused the Ameri- cans to be included in the sweeping determiaa- tion to wipe out all traces of the existence of a foreign footstep on their soil. We have no interest in the quarrels of the Japanese with the European Powers further than may be demanded by the dictates of hu- manity or the requirements of civilization. We do not wish to quarrel with them. It is not our policy to make enemies of them, or any other foreign people. Every consideration of a com- mercial eharacter pointa to a different line of conduct; and it is unfortunate that any com- mander in our navy should have felt obliged to have fired a hostile gun upon a Japanese fort or vessel; and it is still more unfortunate that our former good friends should have struck the first blow, and that, too, out of a mistaken notion of our identification with the acts of a jealous, grasping Power like that of Great Britain. But this destruction of the rich city of Ragosema is perhaps only the beginning of a series of disastrous and bloody attacks upon the territory and people of Japan by the British. When once the British lion places his paws upon an unoffending and inno- cent people, it rarely occurs that he withdraws them until his thirst is satiated. He has now placed one paw on a part of Japan, and let us prepare to receive the intelligence that another will soon be planted upon some otber part of those populous and wealthy islands, France is the ally of England in this work of occupation; and neither of these Powers has shown any friendliness or sympathy with the United States in its present terrible struggle. It would be strange indeed if we should be found on their side, and fighting their battles against a people who have never done us any real barm. But what Great Britain is now beginning to do in Japan bas been being done by France and the Emperor Napoleon for some two or three years back in the territory of Cochin China—or, as it should be more properly called, the empire of Annam—a country net remotely s«itu- ated from the beantiful islands of the Japa- nese. When the French Admiral gOharnier took formal possession of Aanam in the sum mer of 1861, a step was taken that opened the | eyos of the world to the movements of the ao Emperor ia that part of creation Since then atrocities bave been committed by the Freach upon the people of the country { Qe qne ganmelads aa plage eplled Dhaai, ' man of the guard observed that the brush- wood was agitated on all sides, and could see here and there tho light of the enemy’s linstocks shining. He gave the alarm, “The Annamites are upon us!” “Ah! very well,” replied the French commander; “they are coming. Then open the gates.” This was done. He then ordered the men to fix bayonets, and forbade a single shot being fired. He made his men con- ceal themselves by crouching in the shadow around the court in which the fort was situated. It was then three in the morning. The Annam- ites commenced firing; but, finding that no one replied, and not seeing any one move, they rushed forward and entered the fort, astonished to find the gates open and nobody to receive them. When the court was almost full the French commander rose and called out, “Kill them!” The slaughter of the Annamites then commenced. Not one of those who entered escaped. About the same time Annamite am- bassadors were the guests of the Emperor in Paris, and were so delighted with their reception and with the manners and customs of the French, as displayed in the French capital, that they or- dered, in one instance, of the costume makers, specimens of the principal fémate costumes worn in the fairy pieces at the Opera and else- where, which they said they meant to adopt as the ordinary attire of thoir wives and daugh- ters. The trade of the port of Segon, in Cochin China, is extensive, considering the liability of piratical depredations. In 1860 the exports consisted chiefly of rice, of which 53,939 tons, representing a value of 5,184,000 franca, were exported by two hundred and forty-six vessels, European and Chinese, representing a total tonnage of 63,299 tons. The imports of opium amounted to about 500,000 franca, and of other goods to about one million of francs. The value of other exports, besides rice, was also about one million. The total value of exports and imports at Segon was therefore nearly 7,700,000 francs in 1860. Annam is a country of great richness and beauty, and a splendid foothold for the French Emperor preparatory to the absorption of other empires in the region of the Orient. Now, what ought to be done by the United States to prevent the further spread of the influence of two such Powers as France and England, both inimical to American interests, commercially and politically, in such rich marts as the ports of China, An- nam and Japan? We ought not certainly to aid those Powers in their schemes. Russia, from whose influence American commerce has nothing to fear, is, from present intelligence, gradually and quietly assuming a potential power with the magnates and subjects of those realms, and the moro she attains, the more power abe secures, the higher her aspirations reach, and the further her double-headed eagles wing their fligbt in this portion of the Eastern hemis- phere, the better it will be for the United States, both in the present andin coming gene- rations. Of all powerful-nations on the carth, none but Russia has expressed a feeling of sym- pathy for na in our present struggle for nation- al existence, and to her every sentiment of good wil! is due that animates the breast of a patriot. Geverat. Rosecrans’ Removar.—General Mc- Cook bas denied the aasertion that he had pre- ferred charges against the late commander of the Army of the Cumberland; but that denial hardly removes the popular impression that a hostile influence inapired by him bad its share in the removal of his former commander. Se- cretary Stanton’s home is at Steubenville. The home of the McCook family is at the same place, and the father of the McCooks was for- merly the law partner of the Secretary. And in the Secretary's interview with General Mc- Cook at Indianapolis, which took place just be- fore Rosecrans’ removal, it is possible that the General and the Secretary gave each other their respective viewa on the conduct of the war, dilated on their respective grievances, and on the unfitness of certain men for higb posi- tions. What could be more natural? Whether or no the Secretary of War could be affected against a general by any other than official in- vestigation the country may judge. Coroxen Wryonam.—Colonel Sir Percy Wyndham, recently in command of a brigade of cavalry in the Army of the Potomac, has been summarily dismissed the service. No charges appear to have been made in bis case, and no reason has been assigned for his dis- missal. He merely loses bis honorable position by an official violation of the understood law that the term of soldier's service shall be for the war and during good behaviour. He has been called an impostor by an Englishman, who seemed to think it preposterous that any one should bear the name of Wyndham without having had his especial permission to do so. Bat in this land of !iberal ideas, where we hardly pretend to know our grandfathers, it is difficult to suppose that such a matter could have any influence againat a gallant gentleman who bad been wounded in our cause. Yet there is good reason to believe that Colone Wyndham was removed on account of repre- sentations against him made by Lord Lyons. ‘The Brookiyn Fourteenth ing Home.
