Se = = =. Send THK ‘TUATION. ‘The Richmond papers furnish us with two days still later news from Charleston. The firing on Sumter was continued on Saturday and Sunday, ond on the latter evening was still going on, both from Forts Gregg and Wagner and the Monitors. The bombardment is described by the Richmond Examiner as furious and inces- sant. The flagstaff! on Sumter was shot away several times and replaced, but the old flag waa so cut to pieces that the battle flag of the ‘Twelfth Georgia regiment was raised instead. On Batarday morning, at four o'clock, a portion of the sea wall fell in, burying in the ruins thirteen of the garrison, Over one thousand two hundred shots, many of them from rifled guns, were fired at the fort on Saturday. The news from the Army of the Potomac describes the men in fine spirits, the sick removed to Washington, the sutlers all fallen back, and the army unencumbered and ready for any movement. The guerillas continue very bold in many quarters. The weather is glorious, General Butler left Lowell yesterday to take command of the Eighteenth army corps and the departments of Virginia and North Carolina, to which he hag just been appointed, as we before stated. Despatches from Cincinnati yesterday state that there has probably been # severe fight in the vicinity of Tuscumbia, Ala., between the forces of General Sherman and the enemy, who were there in great force, It is certain, however, that our troops are in possoasion of the place, General Osterhaus having captured it on the 27t ult. The rebel guerillas captured two trains near Mayfield, Ky., on Monday, and were tearing up the cailroad in that neighborhood. In Tennessee, however, the guerillas are not quite so succesaful. A portion of Gen. Granger's cavalry from Nashville pursued and defeated the rebel Hawkins, near Pinney Factory, and drove him to Centreville, where they again beat and completely dispersed them. The Southern newa to-day is very full and fateresting. Symtoms of starvation aro becoming stronger in Richmond. Meat has nearly disap- peared from the markets, and the papers complain that beef is improssed for the support of the “Yankeo prisoners,” and insist that those who are hoarding provisions should be compelled to bring them into market. The currency question is the subject of earnest discussion, and the remedy for the present miserable condition thereof is various- ly argued by the different journals, President Davis refuses to remove General Bragg. EUROPEAN NEWS. The steamship China reached this port yester- Jay morning, bringing the Kuropean mails, dated to the 24th of October, and very interesting let- ters from our epecial correspondents in London, Paria and Berlin. Sar Paris correspontent notices the reception of the Mexican throne-giving deputation by Na- poleon, The Empergr, it wae said, congratulated the members on the success of the missionto Max. imilian, but no report of the conversation or apeeches had been published. The idea of the ul timate annexation of Mexico to Prance was can vaaaed more widely in political circles, notwith standing the presence of the deputation in Paris. Colonel Henri, of the staff of the Fronch army, charged with the arrangements for sending back the Mexican officers to their country, had been at Bourges. He had terminated his mission, and was preparing to leave for Moulins. Out of one hun- @xed and six officers at Bourges thirty only con U *, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, sented to take the oath required from them for |-and never, since the foundation of the govern- the guarantee of the new order of things in Mex- ica, The affairs of America served to All up the co Iumans of the Paris morning papers of the 23d ultimo—the Journal @es Debate having fallen beck on Kart Russell's Scotch speech, and the Constitutionne? having ® long article on Canada, in whion it asserts that sooner or later that British possession will bo attacked by the Americans of the North; but that, whenever that shall hap- pen, England may count on the support and as- sistance of the Fronch Canadians, who would op- p any arrangement which would bring about a union with the American republic, The French squadron of iron-clad ships-of-war had loft Brest, under the command of Admiral Penaud, toresume the experiments ordered by the Minister of Marine. The Admiral hoisted his flag on board the frigate Invincible, the vessel which suffered most from bad weather during the cruise from Cherbourg. x2 ‘The Prussians had celebrated the anniversary of the battle.of Leipsic with great eclat.

It was said, indeed, that they were saved only by the foresight and heroism of M. Jules Goddard. Some of the voyagers were very seriously injur. Mr, Boechér was feted to the laut moment by his friends and admirers jn England. He assured a large body of dissenting clergymen in London that he belioved that a sore throat, which he brought from the Continent to that city, was oured by “ di- vine interposition,” so that he could speak in Ex- eter Hall. Miss Bateman, the American actress, was the great theatrical attraction in London. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The election in Maryland yesterday passed off quietly, and resulted in the success of three uncon- ditional Unionists out of the five members of Con- gress chosen. Ky the arrival of the steamship Ariel, Captain Tinklepaugh, at this port last night, from Aspin- wall, we have received important news from the North and South Pacific coasts. The city of San Salvador was closody besieged and bombarded by yencral Carrera, During the fight the house of the United States Minister, Mr. Partridge, was struck three times, and one of his servants killed. The details of the news are given in the letter of our correspondent in another part of to-day’s paper. The Aric! brought $251,133 in treasure. We publish to-day some interesting news from Mexico, through Mexiean and French sources. The Independencia Mejicana, of San Luis Potosi, the present seat of the government of Juarez, paints the condition of things as highly unfavora- ble to the invaders. French accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 17th ult., state th; t on the 15th Gene- ral Bazaine was to march fo San Luls to dislodge Juarez. In the meantime a fresh reinforcement of Zouaves was expected from France. It was thought that towards the end of November a great portion of the difficulty of the Rrench military operations would have been overcome. Adhesions were stated to increase. Among the departments which had recently pronounced in favor of the French were mentioned the Island of Carmen, Tobasco, Rascala, the Valley of Mexico, and some other places; but there was evidently still much to be done by the French before the present government in the capital can be considered as firmly constituted. The Emigration Commissioners had no quorum present at their meeting yesterday. Mr. Casser- ly’s report of the weekly statistics shows that 4,137 emigrants landed here last week, making the total since January 1 134,815. ‘The Board of Education met last evening, Pre- sident Curtis in the chair. The school officers of the Eleventh ward asked an appropriation of $12,000 to purchase the site of a new school house. Referred to the Committee on Sites. The President announced an invitation from the ma- nagers of the Hebrew Benevolent and Orphan Asylum to attend the inauguration of a new insti- tution, onesto the Russian ball, and, having been informed upon the subject, the invitation was accepted. Nothing further of interest or importance transpir- ed at the meeting. A member asked if the invitation was Money was somewhat easier yesterday, and at two o'clock P.

Cotton was depressed and prices tending to a lower range. Atthe Ol Exchange petroleum recovered from the depression of the last day or two, with a good busl- ness. Freights were very dull, and most of the engage- ments were made by noutral vessels, Of one hundred and fifty vessels now loading for foreign ports only twenty are American. Tho depredations of the robel pirates are cutting the American shipping interest up to a fearful extent, The Late Elec The Impending Pre: mtial Campaign. The elections of 1863 throughout the loyal States, from New Hampshire, in March, to New York and others, closing up with Maryland, in November, have all gone in the same direction, upon the same grand idea, and for the same purpose—the suppression of the rebellion by force of arms. All attempts of scheming poli- ticlans in any State to create a diversion by petty local questions and side issues have sig- nally failed. From Maine to California there has been a clean sweep, including even the dis- tant Territories locked up among the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. They have, wo may say, unanimously and emphaticMlly, States and Territories, joined in the same de- cree for the war, and generous support of the administration charged with the prosecution of the war. We may now begin to take our soundings for the Presidential campaign, and for the most exciting, important and momentous political struggle in the history of the country. By the elections of 1863, in connection with those of 1862, the proper course of President Lincoln is broadly and clearly defined. Last year the people pronounced against that radical abolition policy which would make the restoration of the Union dependent upon the extinction of Southern slavery. This year the people have as decisively pronounced against the demoraliz- ing copperhead faction, which would purchase peace at the price of a degradidg and ruinous submission to Jeff. Davis, The people, adhering to the war for the Union, have rejected both these disturbing factions, and it is the duty and the only safe policy of the President to fol- low these unmistakable manifestations of pub- lic opinion. The day is approaching when his administration will come fairly and fully before * ,be country for its approval or gondemaation: ‘ ) Pe & w Kua é., Sent ~~. ment, bas any President possessed anything ap- proaching the advantages which Mr. Lincoln now commands in reference to the succession. But, on the other hand, in the matter of his weighty and delicate responsibilities he stands without @ parallel. Nor oan it be encceas- fully den'ed that his administration, consider- ing its forces and resources, has been lamenta- bly foeble and inefficient in the conduct of the war; but all its deflcioncics may yet be redeem- ed within the interval of tho six or eight months remaining to the active oponing of the Presidential canvass by the party conven- tions of the day. Meantime there fs no good reason why the people should remain inactive, or hold them- selves in passive obedience, subject to the pro- ceedings of these party conventions, The Northern democratic party, in the leading strings of the copperheads, has been de- molished from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Be- fore its rank and file can again enter the field with any show of success they must assume ® now shape and a new organization, The republican party of 1860 has disappeared; and even that of 1862 has been merged in a tempo- rary free and easy Union party, absorbing, in these late elections, the floating elements on the political tide. In a word, there is no crys- talized and cohesive Presidential party etand- ing in the way of the free action of the people. The field ts now as open to them as it was in 1824, when, the old federal and republican par- ties having melted away, four different Presi- dential candidates were brought out upon the course—Jackson, Adams, Crawford and Clay. Let the people, then, again take the initiative; let, for example, the friends of Gon. McClellan in” tho East, and of Gon. Grant in thd West, proceed to their town and county meetings, and organize for an active campaign without reference to the dismantled abolition republican party, or the demolished democratic copperbead party. It is probable that some experienced and capable military leader will be demanded by the popu- lar voice in 1864, as the succeasor of President Lincoln, and for the purpose of finishing up the war. In anticipation of this event, the friends of General McClellan, and those of General Grant, will be acting wisely to take the lead from the politicians, in order to secure the inside track in the organization of a great party, not upon the dead issues of demo- cratic or republican platforms, but upon the living issues of the day. We presume that the friends of President Lincoln and the followers of Mr. Secretary Chase will await the action of their national party convention, some time in May next, or June. In the meantime, however, the grent conservative masses of the people, who bave ceased to be the slaves of any existing party, may, in the name of some popular and conser- vative military chieftain, inaugurate a popular movement which will sweep the field. Thus General Jackson, General Harrison and Gene- ral Taylor were each, by independent popular movements in their behalf, brought forward and made the masters of their nominating party conventions, But President Lincoln bas the power not only to dictate his own terms to his own party, Dut the power to forestall the organization of a new and powerful opposition party, under the independent banner of a popular military chieftain. By bringing the war to an end with- in the next six months, and by measures for the return of the rebellious States to the Union without regard to the abolition question, “Honest Old Abe” will become the absolute master of the situation. But, in order to bring fhe war to a speedy and successful issue, he must dispense .with the services of Welles, Stanton and Halleck; for the first is an imbecile, the second a blunderer, and the third nothing better than a thick headed and concelted mar- tinet. Secretary Chase, too, must go by the board; for while he remains in the Treasury the administration, on this Presidential issue, will be a house divided against itself. These are the conditions upon which President Lin- coln may command a re-election. Should he fail to fulfil them he may prepare to retire on the 4th of March, 1865, with the unfinished business of the war turned over to a profes- sional soldier as his successor. Ossravction oF THE Stkeets—Smamervt. Neatgor or tHe Avtnoritixs.—There is not a city in the world where.the inhabitants get less value for the taxation imposed upon them than in this. Between corrupt or negligent officials and swindling contractors, it is so contrived that the work they pay for is either badly done or done after a fashion to render its execution @ sort of slow Dlisicr. And then again we have conflicts of jurisdiction between the different departments which are productive of equally serious inconvenience and annoyance. Take, for example, the condition of Fifth avenue, near the entrance to the Park. On one side a deep ditch has been dug for water pipes, encroaching far into the road, and on the other there lics a deep gully, without any fencing to protect it. Between this Scylla and Charybdis it is impossible for carriages to pass each other without imminent peril. Were the risk but a tem- porary one it would not elicit so much com- plaint; but the thoroughfare seems destined to be kept continually in the same condition. The Croton Board have had it in their possession for & long time, under the pretext of laying and relaying pipe, the work on which is done s0 badly that it is continually bursting. The Street Commissioner cannot, it appears, inter- fere to set things to rights. The paving and sewerage of the streets are entirely in the hands of the Aqueduct Board, the control in these matters having been given to the department while it was completing its worke in the upper part of the city. It still retains it, and the Street Commissioner, who fs the proper officer to regulate and keep the streets in repair, has no power in the premises. He has merely the surveying and laying out of new streets, and ‘as soon as made they go out of his hands. Of course nothing but confuston and inconvenience can result from such an inconsistent state of things, and the attention of the Legislature should be at once directed“to it. There should be no divided jurisdiction so far as the making, repairing and regulation of the streets is concerned. The whole responsibility should be devolved upon one bend, and the Street Commissioner is obviously the person on whom it should be centred. This explanatioa ‘will not, however, acquit the Street Denartment of the blame that be- longs to it. It, too, is shamofuily inattentive to the publio interests. For the Inst seven years Bighth avenue has been kept constantly blocked up by obstructions, and it is not NOVEMBER 5, 1863.-TRIPLE SHEET. the samo impediments to public traffic exist. For these the Street Departmont is entirely to blame. It-has allowed the contractors te exe- cute the work to sult thomsolves, and they only put men on it when they can got them on thelr own terms; and, the further to consnlt their own convenience, they block up the thorough- fares against public traffic at particular spots, instead of doing the work by instalments, and 60 leaving one side of the road free for car- viages. This is not the way in which the con- tracts of a great city like this should be exe- cuted. The public convenience should be made paramount to all other considerations. Lat the officials in the Street Department see to it that the contractors do their duty, or they will be made to feel the consequences of thus trifling with the publio interests. This is an era of sweeping reforms, and officials who are wise will anticipate tho necessity of an over- hauling. The Finances of the North and the South. We have frequently had occasion, during this war, to remark how singularly and completely the history of the past has repeated itself. Es pecially is this true of our national finances. The opponents of Mr. Chase's system go back to the times of John Law and the South Sea bubble to find parallels for the expansion of our eurrency, the impetus given to trade and speculation, and the final financial ruin which thoy predict as the result of Mr. Chose’s administration of the Treasury Depart- ment. But the great war between England and France, and the financial management of the two countries during that war, afford us a more apt aud perfeot pri ¢ for the present cdnditiol of the finances of the North aud the South. At the period of the great war England's wealth consisted in her commerce and manu- factures. France, on the other band, bad no commerce and no manufactures of any import- ance. The financiers of England, therefore, based their achemes upon the substantial frealth of the country, and took care that the sources of that wealth should be interrupted as little as possible. The French financiers had no such basis for their paper issues. The wealth of France was chiefly in her agricu)tural products, and the war soon exhausted this by its drains upon both the population and the products. The consequence was that, in a very short time, the French paper became entirely worthlesa... It passed from hand to hand as money, because the people were compelled to take it or nothing; but it was without the slightest intrinsic or collateral value, and be- fore the war was over France was bankrupt. In England the case was different, because the principles were different. English paper money represenied 80 much money deposited, not in banks, but in the ships, the warehouses, the manufactories, the mines, the foundries and the workshops , of the people. Compared with gold this paper money was at a discount; but still it was never without a certain and assured value of its own. In a word, the whole population were trans- formed into stockholders in @ great national bauk, which hed for its capital all their pos- sessions and all their industry. This bank was better than the Bank of England: it was Eng- land itself. We see the same causes repeating the same effects ‘in the history of this rebellion, The South, like ancient France, is not a commercial ors manufacturing section. It always relied for support upon what it could raise from the soil. As soon as the war broke out cotton and tobacco became almost worthless ; for our blockade stopped their export, and the rebels were unable to feed upon the weed or to manu- facture cotton into clothing. Consequently, as rebels must eat and wearsometbing, the poor victims of Jeff. Davis began to plant corn in- stead of their former staples, and, by means of blockade runners, they sought to exchange what cotton they had on band for food, arms and apparel from Engtand. This cotton, of which they were so anxious to bo rid, was really the only foundation for the rebel financee; and, having sent it away, or used it upon fortifications, or seen it captured by our armies and armed vessels, the rebel financiers knew, if they knew anything at all, that their paper money must be valueless. Nothing was left but taxation. Taxation could not save them; for there was nothing to tax of any value, and, besides this, taxes were paid in rebel paper, which, so far as the rebel treasury is concerned, was precisely equivalent to pay- ing nothing at all. Thus itis that rebel scrip is now upon a par with the old French assig- nats and mandats, useful out of the confede- racy oaly as a curiosity for cabinets and scrap- books, and circulating among the rebels, at a tremendous discount, simply because they have no other money to circulate. The North, like England, has vast material resources and a population devoted chiefly to commercial and manufacturing pursuits. In one respect we are far better off than England ever was, and that isin regard to our surplus breadatuffs. We raise food enough to supply not only ourselves, but tho people of other countries, and we are therefore able to make these products an important item in our com- merce. Our ports, like those of England, are not blogkaded. By our trade we get gold with which to pay the interest upon our bonds. Our manufactories supply us with all that-we require and with a surplus for exportation. Upon this triple foundation— resources, manufactories and commerce—rests our government currency system. The people have the same confidence in It that they have in themselves. It is secured by the pledges of all the property of the people, and of all the industry and talent of the people. Thus we have the same advantages over the rebels, in a financial point of view, that the English had over the French during the war to which we have referred. When to such advantages are added those of « right cause, a superiority of population, a superiority of arms and armies, a superiority in the necessary munitions of war, and an unfaltering determination to sucesed, it is not difficult to predict which side will ulti- mately aohieve the victory.

Beecher, the Sa: u One of the most beautiful atories of Holy Writ is that of the temptation of Jesus, St. Matthew tells us that Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, and there the tempt- er came to him, but was repulsed and rebuked. “Again,” says St. Matthew, “the Devil taketh him up into an exceeding bigh mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them, and saith unto bim, All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and bim only shalt thou serve. Then the Devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministéred unto him.” q Nearly nineteen centuries after this wonder- ful event we find this same Satan, in the form of # Brooklyn parson, troubling the world as he troubled Jesus upon the mount, His tail and bis horns are concealed beneath the appa- rel of the period; but bis infernal spirit is as evident as ever. He has caused wars and con- fusion, through the agency of this Brooklyn parson and other persons of that etamp, in this ¢hosep land, which was once the most happy thp mdat peaceful and the most powerful upon the face of the earth, Now, in- carnated in the body of Beecher, he has crosséd the Atlantic and is trying to get ali England by the ears. Selfishly speaking, we wish Lim success. While be is busy there we may pos sibly be able to repair damages here. Satan is a tard worker, but ke is rot omnipotert, and cannot raise the devil ia more than one coun try at a time, if God and good mea are work ing against him, England tas been tainpering with evil for a long while past, and ceserves all that Satan can give ker. While ehe ia in agony we may be permitted to escape. It foi lows, therefore, that England's extrem!cy will be our opportunity, and that the visit of Satan to London will aid the Union cause, Mr Beecher is a truc satanic parson. His Christianity is a sutanic humbug. His church is a satanic church. His followers are follow: era of Satan. His disciples go to a satanic echool, He offers them the political world and the glory of it if they will fall down and wor- ship him and his master. He is not, indecd, the Dev himself. That honor is reserved for Wendell Phillips. But the Devil possesses him, travels with him and actuates him. The Devit bestows upon him that moving eloquence, that astonishing command of language, that ability to raise a row at any moment and in any place, for which his admirers give him 80 much credit. This explains his superiority as a diplomat to the Chevaliers Wikoff, Jowett and Weed, and even to bis Grace Archbishop Hughes. These personages have been to Europe; bat tiey accomplished little or nothing, because they did not have the Devil with them. Some of them were accompanied by Mammon, others by Mummery; but none of them had the real Devil. Beecher undoubtedly has. He de- tailed a little imp of Satan to manage his weekly paper during his absence, and took the genuine Lucifer as his travelling companion. His advent in England was marked by an earthquake. His first speech produced a moral earthquake. If he does not involve the British isles in some tremendous disaster before his re- turn it will be because the English are the most lucky people upon the globe. One of the daily organs of Satan in this city ascribes to the satanic parson “intense pas- sion,” “marvellous power of illustration” and “great flexibility.” These are sa- tanic qualities. The organ also deacribes him as contending with “a raging sea” of opposition—“ now soaring to overcome it, now sinking to undermine it, now dashing in its teeth.” This is precisely the satanic style of warfare. We, in onr kindness of heart, have previously spoken of Parson Beecher’s “pluck.” It is eatanic pluck, which knows no fear because it has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Milton praises Satan for the same quality. The London Times says that Beecher appealed to English selfishness. It is just this human weakness which Satan gene- rally plays upon, and this is the chord he at- tempted to touch when he offered Divinity all the kingdoms of this world. Nor are the fruits of Parson Beechers efforts unworthy of his satanic inspiration. He and such as he have wasted an ocean of blood already in their hypo- critical defence of the rights of the black race. Desolate homes, widows’ tears, the cries of poor orphans and the lamentations of mothers will be his welcome when he again sets foot upon our shores. They ate his triumphs. THe bas assisted in causing them. Nay, he has done 60 under the guise of religion and philanthropy, and bas thus added a new leaf to his blood. stained laurels. Every one may serve Satanif he will; but it is not every one who can servé him as Parson Beecher does, in the livery of God. Still, in spite of all this, we have hopes that the visit of the satanic parson to England will help the Union cause. Indeed this could scarcely be otherwise; for, by a providential arrangement, Satan continually trips himself up; his schemes work against each other, and the evil he does in one place counteracts the evil in another. So it will doubtless be with Parson Beecher. His visit has injured England a great deal, and may breed revolutions there; but all this will prevent foreign intervention in our affairs, and allow us to settle matters in oar own way. Thns it is that the satanic par- son in England belps to undo the work of the eatanio parson in America. Moaant Hat Ocoee Or-—Mosart Hall was closed up on the night of the eleetion.
