on. @iintrate the patriotic example of Mr. + Sweeny as City Chamberlain he ought to have a monument in the Park, and without waiting for his retirement from the stage. What shall be the design? A figure, yea, two figures, large as life, in bronze—the one representing Sweeny handing over his public money bags to Hoffman, and the other repre- senting Hoffman passing over to Sweeny, with aly wink, one of his little vetoes in the way of retrenchment and reform. The Tammany ring arranged around this monument would not be a bad idea. Any how, we say, as he is a rare bird in these waters, let us have a monument for the honest Tammany Sachem Sweeny in the Park. “ Mr, Disraeli on the Charch. The address of Mr. Benjamin Disraeli to his constituents in Buckinghamshire, seeking a re- election at their hands to the reformed Parlia- ment of England, which we published in our columns yesterday, will remain on record as a document of much political significance, not merely on account of the elevated position occupied by the writer, but from its verbiage, style, line of argument and the siill higher source from which it is said its author was in- spired towards its utterance. The Premier of England dates the paper at the official resi- dence in Downing street, London, and indites it, with the powerful weight of official authority, not to the voters of Buckinghamshire alone in defence of his course as a party leader in the House of Commons and his policy as head of the Cabinet, but as a manifesto to the people of Great Britain of his ideas and, as he alleges, convictions of the dangerous, ruin- ous consequences which are certain to follow @ reaflirmation of the votes of the defunct Legislature on some of the questions of the day, particularly of that given in favor of Mr. ‘Gladstone's plan for the disendowment of the Trish Church. On this point the Premier is decisive, bold, defiant to his opponents, even vehement. The disendowment of the Irish Church means Papal ‘‘invasion,” the advent of a “‘foreign prince,” the abolition of freedom of conscience and so forth; so that his election battle is to be fought in a spirit almost similar to that which prevailed in England during the periods of the Titus Oates ‘‘plot” trials, the Gordon riots, and in 1827 and 1828, just before the passage of tho Catholic Emancipation act. We term it Mr. Disraeli’s election battle, ‘but the interesting letter of our London corre- spondent published to-day goes to show that the statesman but heralds a battle between Queen Victoria, as head of the Church, and the majority of her subjects, who think that every man should be at liberty to pay his own parson, just as he pays his piper, and who believe that religion becomes more pure the further it is detached from the control of the State. The writer asserts, indeed, that Disraeli’s address should have been dated at Balmoral, where it was drafted, almost in the presence of her Majesty, and read to her for approval before publication. Queen Victoria is determined to uphold the patronage of the Crown in the matter of Church appointments. Millions of her subjects are equally deter- mined that the State shall not patronize religion, as in the United States, Italy, Austria, and, to-day, Spain. Hence the Dis- waeli manifesto. The Queen relies on a descendant of the kings of magnificent tem- ples to champion her cause. Mr. Gladstone must stand on a free expression of opinion by Britons at the polls, and a very serious con- stitutional crisis is thus at hand in England. Mr. Baron anp THE HeapLEss Rooster ase.—Mr. Bergh, the President of the Soci- ety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is decidedly improving. In the case of the “headless rooster,” brought before the Jeffer- son Market Police Couri, he went the right ‘way to work and made no unnecessary fuss about it. At first he seemed to be puffed up by his official position, and was too much like Bateman, the opéra bouffe manager, in trying to give himself too much importance and mak- ing himself ridiculous, but he has learned wisdom and modesty. The gentle reproofs we felt bound to administer to him heretofore are Dow suspended, and we hope he will continue quietly and without any unbecoming airs to bring otheg delinquents before the police courts as he has this “‘headless rooster” showman.

There has been considerable fluttering among the dovelets of that nice little cot of late. It was in explanation of the unusual excitement ‘whispered among the frightened fair ones that “the six lota, including the parsonage,” and the ‘ sacred Jove,” had been handed over, body and trousers, to the unregenerate for $600,000, This, after a time and with much heat, was dented; and now it leaks out that Brown, Mr. G.

Ne Ye ‘The dark, lowering clouds of drizzling mist that frowned on Manhattan yesterday morning and in- tercepted the temperate rays of sunshine which we have a right to expect in our Indian summer might well have deterred the First artillery from assem- bling for inspection. It seems, however, that the oMcers and men of the First are not so much afraid of getting wet jackets as certain mounted corps of our National Guard. The order for inspection origi- nally issued fixed the hour for the formation of the line, In Tompkins square, at half-past eleven; but it was afterwards changed to half-past one. General Liebenau was punctually on hand at the first named hour, and had abundant exercise in dodging the Syne missiles of amateur base ballers until the regiment appeared on the ground at the appointed time. It is to be hoped that he had leisure to reflect on the splendid mismanagement by which Tompkins Park (the dreartest and dirtiest lo- —_ that could ie Cpr on the island) was made the parade ground of our troops. The First artiliery, Colonel Daniel W. Teller, ap- peared on the ground dismounted. Two companies were dressed differently from the rest. The sabres were not of uniform pattern and many of the men did not appear to have paid sufficient attention to their toilets. One or two companies would have looked better without their officers. With these ex- ceptions the regiment presented @ good appear- cnee—was, on the whole, soldierly, and seemed un- der excellent control. 1t was, perhaps, unavoidable that the wuent should parade dismounted, ‘The expense of mounting a regiment, even for a day, is considerable, and probably all who paraded yester- day could not, if ordered, have procured horses. ‘The dissimilarity in the headdresses of the members was accounted for by a statement that 1t was found impossibie to have the very becoming shako supplied to all the companies in time for the inspection. There can be no excuse for the state of the equipments and for the untidy appear- ance of certain officers and @ few of the men, if the shoulder scales were slightly bent upward the troops would look smarter. The. marching was exceilent—in fact, not inferior to that of any regiment yet inspected. Line was formed immediately after the arrival of the bat talion on the ground, and the ceremony of a dress parade was gone through with very creditabiy. Some of the men seemed to mistake “place rest” for “parade rest,” but promptly rectified the error. At the conclusion of the parade General Leibenau held areview. The “present”? was done pretty well and the march past in review was fairly executed. The inspection was afterwards nade by Major Godfrey, the je inspector, and the battalion was mus- tered with the following resuit:— : 2 a = ° Field and Stat. — Non, Com. statt. a1) = Battery A. 22} Battery B. 2) 7 Battery C. | 4] 75) Battery D. —! 3 Battery F. —| 29) Battery G =] 35) 3) 60 1] 26 3] 60] At the conclusion of the muster the General com- manding the Second brigade reviewed the regiment. Some mistakes were made, one of which, at least, must be noticed. The General passed in front of the Colonel to the left, instead of benind him and in front of the Ley mee oh cers. This is an error which was also made by the commander of a bt le previously inspected. As in the mo’ its of the morning, the marching was excellent and the men were very steady. It will be seen by the above abstract that some of the companies are very strong, being over the maximum. First 4s, without doubt, a good regiment, and may be made a first rate one by care and attention on the part of the officers. ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE. Army Orders.

WASHINGTON. Important Results of the Late Elections. Demoralization of the Demo- cratic Party. Active Caucusing of the Leaders in Washington and Elsewhere. Seymour and Blair to be Withdrawn. Informal Nomination of Judge Chase and John Quincy Adams. WASHINGTON, Oct, 15, 1863. Rumored Attempt to Induce Seymour and Blair to Withdraw. “Will Seymour withdraw?” “Will Blair leave the fleld?? These questions asked a few weeks ago would have met with a decided negative, but now, after the ascertatned results of Tuesday's elections, willitbe the same? If the mformation I have re- ceived to-day be reliable it would appear that either Seymour and Blair are not aitogether adverse to re- tiring, or at least that some of the influential men of the democratic party are anxious to get rid of their Present standard bearers, It seems a movement, having for its object the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair, was commenced here a few days before the election by certain gentiemen who foresaw defeat in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and, perhaps, Indtana, They realised at last that a fatal error bad been coumitted by the New York Convention, and advised as to what, if any, course could be adopted to save their party from certain defeat next November. Iam told the same policy was discussed last week in New York, and perhaps the scheme, which I wiil presently explain, origi- nated in that city and was only further considered here, But, however that may be, the result of the conversations and discussions was a conviction that the only hope for the success of the democratic party next month was the immediate withdrawal of Sey- mour and Blair, After the late elections another meeting of the parties favoring this scheme took place, I believe, yesterday afternoon in one of the parlors of Willard’s Hotel. Of course, at this gath- ering the preconceived opinions were greatly strengthened, and it was resolved to make a deter- mined effort to accomplish their object. But then other questions arose. If Seymour and Blair should withdraw who could be substituted? And would there be time to explain the change properly vo the masses of the party all over the country in the brief interval between now and the day of election? To the first of these questions the answer arrived at was that Hancock or Chase would be an admirable substitute, but whether either would be likely to ac- cept under existing circumstances seems not to have been thought of, To the second question, which presented difMculties of greater magnitude, more attention was given:—How could the Conven- tion be called together in time—how could the peo- ple be reconciled to so sudden a change—what ex- planation of the thing could be given—would not the fact of a change be a glaring confession of weakness—would not the step, in short, be the complete ruin and prostration of the party? The answer to all these was that the condi- tion of affairs could not be much worse, As mat- ters stood defeat stared them in the face. Could anything worse happen them than defeat? A change of candidates might yet bring them success, Was not the experiment worth atrial? As to call- ing the convention together, that need not be done at all. It would be sufficient to summon the National Democratic Committee together, and should Sey- mour and Biait resign the masses of the party would readily acquiesce in any plan agreed upon in the emergeacy. The National Committee could nomi- nate new candidates, and there would be time enough left, even at this late day, by a vigorous campaign, to sweep the country. I have reason to know that these were substantially the conclusions arrived at, and [ am informed that a prominent poll- tian, who ts here now, and who was a delegate to the New York Convention, has telegraphed to Bel- mont, advising him to summon together the National Committee. Up to the time of writing this I am not abie to learn whether any response has been re- ceived. This plan is the identical one suggested in these despatches immediately after the New York Convention, and which, if only acted upon at that time, might have led to different results than those witnessed last Tuesday, But toreturn. The gentie- men engaged in the movement, prominent among whom is ex-Governor Walker, concluded that it would be advisabie to sound General Hancock as to his willingness to accept the nomination. They commenced their operationa by first sounding inti- mate friends of the General, many of whom prompt- ly and unhesitatingly declared it their belief that the General would not and ought not to accept under the circumstances. One of these friends in particular opposed the scheme with great warmth, declaring that it would be politica! suicide for Nan- cock to do anything of the kind, that 1t was the same as throwing him into the breach in the most desperate emergency, and that he, the friend, would advise the General under no circumstances to permit himself to be thus victimized. He believed also that it would be ruinous to the party to make any change at the eleventh hour, and that the slim hope that atill remained of success after Tuesday's indications would be thereby shattered to the winds, These arguments, however, failed to convince Governor Walker and his associates, and I have reason to know that they had interviews with Hancock to-day, the result of which has not yet transpired. While I write now Governor Walker and some others are in consuitation with General Han- cock to-night. The friends of the General declare that it is not at all probabie he will accept. The General himself is very mum on the subject, having refused very politely to talk with correspondents at all on politics. The movement has made quite a stir here among those who have heard of it. Democrats in general appear at a loss in what way to receive it, whether to regard tt a8 an addition to the chapter of biun- ders lately committed by thew party, or to welcome it as the wtima epes, the last hope of van- quishing the hero of Appomattox. Opinions difter widely, and perhaps thus fitly reflect the confusion that must ensue whether the scheme be pressed to consummation or abandoned as inadvisable, Some take this view, that however untimely the scheme has been thrust upon the party, now that itis out, the better plan is to adopt it. The publication which will certainly be given to it through the newspapers, they urge, will be quite as damaging to the party as to adopt the scheme itself, It will show, they say, that we are weak, hesitating and in doubt. We can’t escape from that predicament now, 8o let us, in the name of democracy, jomp into the breach, as we have to face the danger, and fight boldly for success. if the scheme had not leaked out we might let it drop without danger; bat now that it is known, the best thing we can do is to play itasonr last card, There are some who advocate calling the fail Nominating Convention together; but as this step is scarcely practicable, owing to geo- graphical and other didicuities, and as it might lead to unfortunate dissensions and delays, it is probable only the National Committee will be summoned, As to Judge Chase, I have had no opportunity of ascertaining what his opinions are on this subject. The probabilities are, however, that he will find reasons for not accepting a compliment tendered second hand. There seems to be no doubt about General Hancock's present feelings, which are decidedly adverse to the scheme, but that he may not be induced to sink personal considerations for the good of his party, eapecivily when appealed to by so adroit a parson as Robert J. Walker, Ido not presume to assert. Nous verrons, ‘There is ne doubt tual the movements prety wide spread at this hour (eleven P.M.) I learn that despatches have been sent from the East and West advising the withdrawal of Seymour and Biatr, and that @ comunittee is on the way or about to start to Seymour's home to induce him to retire, Rosecrans, who is here, and who was visited to-night by Han- cock, throws out another suggestion. He advises that a grand spontaneous national meeting be held, and that Chase and Franklin be declared nominated. In connection with the subject I may add that the leading democratio paper here, the Intelligencer, will publish a significant article to-morrow, which by Hancock's friends is believed to be in the Chase interest, The following extract wilt show the tone of the article:— In putting forward a ticket in the present temper of the country we have always maintained the should have kept in view the fact that the republi- cans were ‘divided in sentiment upon the measures of reconstruction as well aa upon finance. It is un- queationably true that the republicans, before the scopes of those measures, constituted & Age of the Northern people. In patting up a ticket then, sound policy and patriotism commanded that the democrats should distinctly recognize as within the pale of their organization all who op- ed the measures which we have referred. he New York convention thought otherwise, and nominated Governor Seymour and Genera! Blair. ‘Those nominations, weadmit, were judicious enough, ifthe object alone was to maintain the integrity o' the democratic party, but we had again and again declared that the preservation of the Union, under the aathority of its organic law, was the grand pur. pose we had in view in entering upon the canvass of 1583. AS’ ® minority could avail little in such a work, blicy and sound principles demanded nominations which would draw largely from conservative men of all parties. That demand was not heeded; but it is still in full force, and now is the time to obey it. Let those upon whom the convention of the party conferred the great hono: its confidence rise to the hewht of the great oc sion, and then, emulating their exalted patrioti: let the National Executive Coinmittee execute trust reposed in them by the people without and with no other sentiment than devotion to the country and the constitition. ‘The comiaittee that isto watt on Seymour will meet to-morrow in Utica, There was a meeting in New York to-day at which the ticket of Chuse and Adams was agreed upon, Chase, it is further said, was watted upon to-day and declared his willing- ness to accept. It is too late to verify this point, but itseems to come froma reliable quarter. Barlow, Tilden, Wash McLean and other democratic politicians have been telegraphing here ail day about the matter. The ticket of Chase and Adams does not meet with favor in some quarters, as it ts contended that to leave off the military alto- gether will operate to divert from the party a large share of the army vote. A New York politician who is here to-day and had access to the private de- spatches observed while reading them, “That ticket with two civilians will rain us." “Can’t help it,’ was the anawer. ‘I'he ticket was made up in New York aud we can’t change it.” The Latest. WASHINGTON, Oct, 16—12:40 A. M. Since my last I have gathered the following facts, showing efforts made even months ago to accom- pllsh Seymour's withdrawal. A gentleman, promi- nent in the democratic party, whose late services to that cause have marked him as not only a zealous but @ valuable member, called on Mr. Seymour soon after his acceptance of the nomination and earnestly advised him to correct the great error the Convention had committed, to elevate himself in the estimation of the country higher than even an election to the Chief Magistracy of the na- tion could lift him, by calling upon the Democratic Executive Committee to assemble, and to say to them, that feeling that there were questions at stake in the country of the greatest magnitude that will be sacrificed if he should go before the people as the candidate of the democracy, he believed it to be his duty to withdraw in favor of some other man in whom the democratic and conservative masses felt an unshaken confidence, and who could unite all the elements in the country that were opposed to the selfish and ruinous management of the radicals, Mr. Seymour did not dif- fer greatly in opinion with this gentleman, but he said he could see no feasible way in which to do it. He could not come out then before the country, after having accepted the nomination, and say that he erred in so doing, and unless the Demo- cratic Executive Committee would co-operate in the movement it could not then be successfully accomplished. This gentleman did not relinquish his endeavors to procure @ change of candidates, but subsequently he wrote along and earnest letter to Mr, Seymour, urging lum, while yet it was time, to give place to a candi- date who should represent the radical opposi- tion and all that great mass of our people known as the war democrats, as well as the regular democratic forces. Yet it seems that no organized movement could be imaugurated, and the party lead- ers appeared to be desirous of learning the popular feeling on the nomination as it stood as expressed in the October elections in the three great States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, That opinion has been announced, and hence the present effort to retrieve past mistakes and to place before the people candidates who can command the hearty approval of all those who have the best interests of our government at heart. Some of the despatches here to-day advised the nomination of Hendricks and Johnson as well as Chase, Hancock and Adams, The despatches were nearly all couched in the same terms—doleful in the extreme—and arguing that the salvation of the party required the withdrawal of the present standard bearers. It is stated that the call for a meeting of the National Comnuttee has been MISCELLANEOUS WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 1998. Discovery of a New California ingSouth Afri. ca—immense Gold Fields Found by ja Ger- man Mineralogist. Director velmar, of the Bureau of Statistics, is in receipt of a communication from the United States Consul at Cape Town announcing the discovery of immense gold flelds in South Africa, There are two auriferous districts, called respectively the Southern and Northern gold fields. The former lie 1,081 miles north of Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay, or 1,306 miles north-northeast of Cape Town, and the latter some 250 miles further north. They are from 300 to 400 miles west of the eastern coast of Africa, the South- ern gold region lying on the Tati and the Northern field near the Zambesi river. The route from Cape Town leads northeast through the centre of Cape Colony, over whose borders it passes, where the Vaal falls into the Orange river; thence north- northeast, skirting the western borders of the Boer, or Dutch republics, of Orange and frans- vaal, until it strikes the northern forks of the Tati river, an affiuent of Limpopo river. The Consul says, under date of August 14, 1868, that “thousands are now flocking there in search of & new California.” The British flag Gies over the miner's settiements, though Pre- torious, the President of Transvaal, has annexed a Portion of the auriferous country by proclamation. The Cape Town Argus of July 23, 1868, contains full accounts of the discoveries, and induigea in the most extravagant dreams of the future of South Africa. The specimens received at Cape Town are very rich and the whole coiony isin astate of the wildest excitement. It costs £30 to £40 for trans- portation from Cape Town to the diggings in bullock Wagons at the rate of twenty miles per day, buta company is being formed which will secure regular communication at reasonable rates between Port Elizabeth and the gold fields by means of mule wagon trains, to go through in twenty to twenty-five days from Algoa Bay. The discoveries were made by Herr Carel Manch, a German mineralogist, who first penetrated the country in 1864. Movements of General Hancock, Major General Hancock arrived to-day. His health ts much fmproved, though he still suffers from wounds received in the late war, He called on the President and Secretary of War and was at his own headquarters for several hours this morning.
