Shortly after General Sheridan sent the routed rebel army of General Early “whirling through Winchester” the Richmond believed to enjoy the special confidence of Jeff.

This proposition was promptly and earnestly seconded by the rebel Governor of the northwest corner of Louisiana, and from Ter; oa Yankee Gentus.

She was blown up by the explosion of « tor- pedo placed under her by one of our picket boats, undor the command of the gallant Cush- fog. It will be remembered that the Tecum- seh was similarly destroyed while passing the forts in Mobile harbor by a rebel torpedo an- chored in the channel. The torpedo is not a new engine of warfare; it is a Yankee inven- other quarters, until at length the editor of @ | tion, which was used in our Revolutionary war North Caroling paper (the Southern Confederate), writing to sald paper from Richmond, bas fa- vored the world with the following startling report: — ‘The pressure brought upon the auMortties bere, favor. igor as been too strong to re- of 1776, and subsequently in 1812, on both of which occasions British ships had a pious hor- ror of the submarine Yankee devils.

We may recall the names of Picolomini and Medorl, and Mazgoleni and Brignoli, with- out finding in these the peer of either of them. Yet, strange to say, the musical critics of New York, with singular obtuseness or perversity, have failed to recognize their striking merits; and while ther have wasted an abun. ance 6f words upon inferior artistes, they have passed over in oomperative silence the resplendent qualities of the two shining stars referred to. We can only attribute it to the prevailing political excitement, which has had its effect’ upon the critics, either in diverting their attention from the subject of (heir criticisms, or in making them imagine that the public are indiffereat to it for the time being.

A mass mecting of the National McCiclian Club was held at the Cooper Institute lust evening, which attracted alarge audience, The first speaker of the evaning—alter & few totroductory remarks by the chairman (Mr. But- lor)—was August Belmont, who indulged in a very Bevere criticism upon the speeches 'nd political action of General Dix, Mr. Plerregont and other prominent demo- Grats who participated in the proceedivzs of the macs conventiou of the war democracy, beld et the same pleco on Tuesday evening.

Great proparationa are boing mde for tbe ‘atter, end’ ovet Sfty olubs, it ts believed, will partict- pate. It has been arranged to haygareview of the whole procession, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, by General Moc tel an. to one-third its original dimensions, ot to an area embracing about four millions and a half of population, Of this aggre- gale we will say that two and a half mil- lions are negro e'aves. Take from this number three hundred thousand soldiers, and there will not bea sound negro boy left over ten years of age, nor aman under seventy-five, capable of cartzying a musket. It follows that, as “the confederacy” has already been drained of its able-bodied whites, the women and childrea of the blacks wi!l have’ to feed themselves and the rebel armies, while the white women and children are clothing their armies, themselves and their blacks at home; or armies and people, whites and blacks, will all goon be reduced to absolute nakedness and starvation. In other words, the experiment of general starvation will immedidtely follow throughout the rebel- Nous States the withdrawal of their able-bodied negro males from the corcfield to the camp, even to the extent of fifty thousand men beyond the number now employed ia the rebel military used them on Puuker Hiil, Tho first thing Washington did when be took command near Boston was to throw up earthworks by night along the beights, and when the enemy dis- covered them in the morning they had no taste for Gybting; 6o they evacuated the c'ty. The battle of Bunker Hill was fought by the Amerieaa yeomen behind broastworks bastily constructed, where they received the advance of the British until the troops cameo within close range, and then gave them such a withering fire that tbe slaughter was fear‘ul; and bad their ammunition lasted they would undoubtedly bave won the battle. During the present war the new appliances introduced both by ourselves and the rebels have made a profoundrensation in Europe. The euccess of our iron-clads and the power of ouc rams astonished them. Our huge guns, with the’r thousaud pourd solid sot made the beams of foreign war ehipa creak in advance. Our torpedocs now prove that we cannot only build rams that will out through ony- from the deep well of the heart. In the duet with Massimiliani, In the last act of the Trova- tore, on Monday night, she more than realized the brightest idea of the composer, and the two vied with each otber in artistic excellence, Physically both artistes compare favorably with formor leading members of Maretzek’s troupe, and 80, by their pleasing tout ensemble, they delight the eye av well as the ear. The attractions of the Opera are to be still further enbanced to-morrow night, when the debut of Mrs. Van Zandt ia to take place. She will, we bave no hesitation in saying, eclipse all Ler predecessors among our native opera singers, and add another triumph to the season which has thus far progressed so auspiciously. Mr. Maretzek is to bo congratulated on the fortunate selection of his company, and we Lope that he will avail himself fully of the am- ple resources at his command to make his re- pertoire extensive, and among others to add Tone, always g popular fayorile, to his list.

Late advices from his Northera friends have show# bim thatthe “resistance to annibilation” plan entirely knocked the feet from under the peace party. Here, say the Northern people, is a party that wants to offer the olive branch to the South, and all the time tue South swear terribly that it will not have the olive branch at all. This little difficulty has been pointed out to Jeff. and now Jeff., like the supple politician that be is and always was, has his face the ether way. He will not insist He understands that the armistice any longer that “the last man shall be shot fg | Gown fm his tracks.” No; he-will accept an impossible, and they will abandon him in the armistice if a polite gentleman, one that he attempt to enforce it.

Macomb, an officer of long experievce and of tried courage, and who did some of the best fighting on the Mississippi river in Commodore Porter’s squad- ron. Some weeks ago Com. Macomb (after having in vain endeavored to coax the rebel ram to come out from the defences behind which she laid at Plymouth and give him a fair and open fight), rigged up two of bis tugboats with torpedoes, very ingeniously arranged, and gave one of them to the guoner of the Shamrock, Mr. William Peterkias, who very gallantly voluntecred to ran the almost cér- tain risk of death in the attempt which he pre- posed to maké to blow up the ram. But that wiley craft, by some means suspecting what would befall her, remclaed snugly bebind a boom of logs, built for her teception at Ply- mouth, and which prevented au* craft like a tugboat from coming rear ber. Mo.@ decided measures were contemplated, but were pre- vented until the change of admirals, wh°U their importance was a once seen and they were ditected by Admiral Porter to be taken, with the result which we announced yester- day—the total destruction of the ram by means of a torpedo boat. Licutenant Cushing, who performed this splendid exploit, is a young and gallant officer, who has before this distin- guished himself on the Nansemond river and at Wilmington. The ram being destroyed, the fall of Ply- mouth follows. Com. Macomb’s ficet can take it whenevor he wills, and very probably the place has fallen ere this. The defences of Plymouth consist, or consisted, of an earth- work, mounting ten guns, which the Sham- rock’s battery alone could silence in fifteen minutes. The large fleet of valuable vessels also, which bas been kept in Albemarle Sound to watch the ram, can now be sent to join the fleet to operate at any other point. Admiral Porter has thus splendidly iaaugurated hie new oo mmand. Tus Anur Vors.—It seoms that the pollti- cians have laid altogether too much stress upon the army vote.
