Advertisements for the Weexty Hxratp must be band- ed in before ten o’clock every Wednesday evoning. Its circulation among the enterprising mechanics, farmers, merchants, manufacturers and gentlemen throughout the country {s increasing very rapidly. advertisements in- sorted in the Wxaxty Heratp will thus be seen by a large portion of the active and onergetic people of the United States. THE SITUATION. The news from Washington indicates approach- ing active operations in General Mea army. All the able bodied troops under the command of General Martindale, the Military Governor of the capital, are to be relieved from duty and sent to the field. Their place will be supplied by the Invalid corps. The One Hundred and Fifty- seventh Pennsylvania has already been relieved, and was to leave yesterday. It appears that recent information concerning the movements and strength of the enemy will enadle General Meade to take some decisive Measures at once. ‘The arrival of the steamer De Molay from Hilton Head yesterday—which point she left on the 30th ult. and Folly Island on the morning of the 3lat— puts us in possession of our corresponden‘s’ ac- counts of the Iate bombardment of Fort Sumter. The object of the attack was the prevention of the design of the rebels to construct new batteries and covered ways in the fort at the channel side, by demolishing, if possible, the gorge wall and levelling the foundations to the water's edge. Three shells from a rifled gun between forts Gregg and Wagner, during the fire on Tuesday last, ex- ploded in the city, bat with what effect was not known. v ‘We have some interesting news from the South- ern journals to-day. Jeff. Davis had quite an ova- tion at different points on his return from the battle field of Chicamanga. In his speech at Mobile he commented upon that fight, saying that Rosecrans’ ‘unwieldly legions would be destroyed or driven for refuge to the Ohio. That the same spirit ani- mated his armies elsewhere, and all they needed was to be properly seconded by the people at home, to send the hordes of Yankees back to their beloved Boston, or any other place from which their return might be more difficult. The rebel despatches from various points rela- tive to the movements around Chattanooga are particularly Interesting. US NEWS.

Yesterday Admiral Lisovski, accompanied by soversl Of the captains of his figet and Admiral Farragut, paid » lengthened visit to public echool No, 15, “deservedly esteemed one of the best in Rroekiya. They were re- ceived by Mr. Bulkley, the Superintendent of the Board of Education; Alderman Douglas and a number of other gentlemen interested tn the achool. Alderuian Dougias, in a briof but well turned spesch, welcomed the distinguished strangers, and aid that, amongst the most picasant remembranoes which they would bear away with them from this country, he was sure there was none that would give them more satis- faction than the apectacle which they beheld that day. ‘The sight of so many weil trained an@ well bebaved children could not but be agrerable in the eyes of those who wore themselves laboring so earncetly ia the pata of Progress, and pothing could give them a better Ides of the intellectual development and greatness of the United ‘States than the magnitude and pertection of the aystem of which they were now ebout to witness some of the reaults. Admiral Lisovski replied in a few wellchosea sentences, in which he expressed the hope that the warmth of the reception which he had met with from the pupils of the establishment was only an earnest of the still closer friendship between Russia and the United States, which would grow with the growth of bis young friends, ‘The programme of exercises was thea proceeded with. “The Russian Hymn,” the ‘Star Spangled Banner” anda number of other songs appropriate to the occasion were sung by the children with a perfection of ensemble that quite astonished and gratified the visitors, A solo on the violin by Master Emile Mollenbauer, @ cbiid only eight years old, also appeared to give them great plea. sare. Several set speeches complimentary to Russia wore'then made by the juvenile orators of the day, aud the proceedings wound up with addresses from Admiral Lisoyskt and bis officers, Admiral Farragut, Mr. Bulkley, Alderman Douglas and others. ‘Tho party left about twelve, apparently much pleased with their visit. The Russian Officers at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. PROMENADE CONCERT OF THE TWENTY-TRIRD REGI- MENT NEW YORK STATE NATIONAL GUARD—AN IM- MENSE JAM AND A BRILLIANT SCENE, ETC. Brooklyn has commenced to contribute her quota in Monizing the Russian officers. In this she only follows the example of her near neighbor, the City of Gotham; and, not to be behindhand in the general jubilee to the Russians, our Brooklyn citizens last evening thronged the Academy in order to flatter their invited guests with the triple attracticns of music, female charms and gene- ral social intercourse. ‘The occasion was a promenade concert got up by the ‘Twenty-third regiment New York State Naticnal Guard, commanded by Colonel Calvin E. Pratt. Promenade con- certs have become somewhat prevalent in Brooklyn of late; but this affair was presented to the public for the ostensible purpose of an entertainment to the Russian officers, as well as a private musical enterprise on the part of the Twonty-third. The weather was propitious, the Brooklyn citizens anxious to exchange cordialities with the Russians, as well as to patronize their favorite militia regiment, the'masic loving community desirous to ‘hear the beautiful strains of the redoubted Grafulla him. eelf, and the consequence was that a highly fashionable audience filled the Academy. ‘At nine o'clock the house was crowded to overflowing, there being certainly between five and six thousand per- fone in the building. The Academy was decorated with the greatest taste, the Russian and American flags being hung out from every box, commingling In Artistic profu- sion one with the owner. The entire paqnet was floored over, connecting with the stage, in the centre of which Grafulla’a Seventh regiment band was placed, which dis- coursed somo excellent music. The following 1s the pro- Yesterday's State Elections—The Voice of New York. The Empire State bas. spoken, and the demo- cratic party, with its copperhead affiliations, has been signally defeated. The city alone has extinguished the ten thousand majority by which Governor Seymour was elected, and the State has probably turned the tables to the extent of at least fifteen thousand majority the other way. A decisive popular reaction was so generahy expected that it will create no surprise. The tide of public opinion which set in against the disorganizing copperhead peace faction in the spring elections of New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and which was strengthened’ with a national movement in the summer election of Kentucky, be- came a resistless and still inoreasing flood in the autumnal elections of Maine, Cali- fornia, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Now to these States we may add, as involved in this universal popular movement in behalf of the war, and the administration charged with its prosecution, not only Massachusetts and New York, but New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min- nesota, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas; for we doubt not that all these States, in which elections were held yesterday, have been in a remarkable degree influenced by this immediate, para- mount and absorbing question—the suppression of the armed forces of the rebellion by the fleets and armies of the Union. New York voted yesteday, as she voted in our last November election, for a vigorous pro- secution of the war. This was the issue upon which Governor Seymour succeeded, and this is the issue upon which he and his party have been defeated. His associations and sympa- thies with such intolerant and intolerable cop- perhead peace men as Thomas H. Seymour, of Connecticut; Bradbury, of Maine, and Vallan- digham, of Ohio, and bis wishy-washy, tempo- rizing, double-faced, do-nothing policy as Gov- ernor of New York, were too strong against him and his party to be neutralized or pal- liated by the enforced war resolutions of Dean Richmond's see-saw Albany platform. Revo- lutions, it is said, never go backwards; and these elections, throughout the loyal States, of 1863, may be pronounced a sweeping popular revolution against a demoralizing peace fac- tion, as those of 1862 were a revolution against a demoralizing abolition war faction. Now, the administration at Washington, fully instructed against both these factions, and am- ply sustained by the people upon the simple platform of the suppression of the rebellion, ought to know what todo. The people, from Maine to California, have overwhelmingly pro- Paris. In the latter Napoleon the Third lost | j claimed to President Lincoln that they are with him for a vigorous prosecution of the war, that the men, money and means required to bring the war to aspeedy and successful issue are at his service, and that the country expects him to push on the war to a speedy termination. We need not admonish him that these elections of 1863 indicate nothing In reference to'the election of 1864, in which the merits or demerits of his administration will turn the scales. Let Presi- dent Lincoln bring this war to a glorious issue in bebalf of the Union, and he may control the Presidential campaign; but let him fail, and the verdict of a disappointed country will as in- evitably result in the downfall of his adminis- tration, and in the establishment of a new order of things at Washington. Tue Russians 1y New Yorx—Bercuer oy Tue Tammany anp Mozart PLatrorm.—At the great democratic ratification meeting in Cooper Institute last Saturday night, the adherents of Tammany and Mozart cheered lustily for the Poles and expressed their sentiment of the Rus. sians by groans and hootings. Henry Ward Beecher has been, unknown to himself, an imi- tator of the Tammany Hall disciples before a London audience in Exeter Hall. He found it to be an “indecent thing” for America to make believe to be flirting with Russia, and de- nounced as’ “monstrous” “all fiirtations of America with pandered and whiskered foreign- ers.” We always thought there was a strong affinity between the pastor of Plymouth church and the “rougbe” of Tammany and Mozart. Now we are eure of it, and propose that Beecher, n his return home, be elected Grand Sachem of Tammany. Tonxey anv Rvssta.—France is now urging on a rupture between Russia and Turkey. She would gladly set astir a question upon which she might unite England to her own policy, and at the same time punish the Czar for having bearded Napoleon so successfully.
