The Elections.

The triumphant successor the Union cause at the recent elections in tbe "Northern States, indicates clearly,- that,' notwithstanding the ieameos® sacrifices already made for the preserration of !the Union, and the'res to ration of law and order, further sacrifices'will- cheerfully be made to^secuce the triumph for which our armies iutv^ so gallantly struggled.

Along the whole line, the Union cause has been complete. The popple .havo /spoken in no unmlstaWable terms. They fiave endorsed, in overwhelming majorities, the policy of the Administration, and resolved to sustain it until the conflict terminates with, a restored nationality.

They wero seen banded together through tho loyal States,"whose misfortune and shame it ia to have given many of them breath, struggling to do for tIie|robellion that which the rebellion could not do for itself—struggling to multiply enomies of the government about every threshhold—to hold back tho arm of the Government from the stroke which might crush its foes—to diag down our flag to deeper disgrace than that it suffered when under the care 6f Buchanan, it was spit upon and trampled by these men's

Southern brethren,'"—to disgrace and blast the name of their native landjand invite the scoff and scorn of foreign enemies to rest upon the country they dared to claim as theirs.

They cried, Tho Constitution Tho Constitution Tho Administration wftS trying to subvert tho Constitution. They shrieked to tho people that their rights were taken from them, and counseled them in crafty and ambiguous words, to resist the laws by forco, and looked with complacency,on the horrible riots in Now York, whero property wps given to tho flames, and the innoceht murdered and robbed by thieves rind scoundrels whom they claimed as "thoir friends." fhey ex horted the multitude to every mad and vio-* lent attempt, fanned the flames of discord and hellish passion, and leading all who were low enough to give them control, in a doubly damnable raid against thoir country and their God. Thay persitently closed their eyes, and strived to close the eyes of tho people to tho great subject which should ouly engage the loyal heart, Constitutional Government assaulted by organized treason, and havo devoted their energies entirely to fabricating fictitious dangers to divert the attention of theii followers, while there could be but one momentous issue, in which tho honor and safety of the country appeared on tho one hand, and the damnable and gigantic treason on the other, they were always busy raising questions of trifling importance, and engendering dissensioj^among tko people concerning things wW: '-ore, and are, in this great struggle, as thff'dnst of the balance.

But now behold thom. "None so poor as to do them reverence." Despised and condemned by tho loyal North, and tho objects of hatred to the South bccauso of their treachery, they are loft to themsolves, tho most execrated ol all American citizcne.— Verily they have met their reward. The hopes of such leadeis are crushed, and the W«r that they can hereafter wago against the Union will be pitiful indeed.

There can bo no doubt but that the result of these election?, has produced a bcneficial effect upon the country. Thousands of thoso who have followed the leaders refefred to are now nbandouing 'their wicked counsels and joining the Union ranks. Public senti ment unmistakeably favors tho prosecution of the war uutil tho rebel power is broken, and the rebels themselves made to submit to the laws as made by the* representatives oi the loyal people of the nation, aud both par ties, aside from t.io leaders referred to, have gone to work in good earnest to fill tho quota of troops callod for by the President, that (he struggle may speedily end and peace be restored to the country. Heaven grant that their efforts may be crowned with success, for with the addition of threo hundred thousand volunteers, our armies can destroy the rebel power iu another campaign.

Field Officers of the Invalid Corp9. Tho limitation under which an officer of tho Invalid Corps could receive a commission higher than the grade of Major, has been removed by a general order from the War Department, and the grades of Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel are authorized from September fth. This was dono in order to complete the oiganization of Invalid Corps rigi ments.

West Virginia follows the example of Pennsylvania and Ohio, she having olectcd the Union candidates for Congress in her three districts, by large majorities. Blair, BrOwn and Whitley are the Congressmen elect, and they arc all Unconditional Union uep.

The London Times regards tho Great Eastern and tho Pyramids as of equal usefulness.

tus majority for the Union ticket in New Yofrk, will be about -10,000.

On the other liand '&o' BdL'iernui leaBers have met their fate. They have been repudiated and condemned by a vast majority of the voters of, the great. Northern States. Thoir power for seiious evil is very nearly destroyed, and they stand abashed and guilty beforo the great tribunal of public opinion Their immense labors have resulted only in sinking them still lower, and rendering them still more odions in public estimation.

At a time when the great Republic of the Earth was struggling against a causeless Vebellion when every energy of ^the Grtvern ment wis put in requisition to maintain constitutional liberty when the rebel government was praying every friend of Anarchy at home, and every despot abroad, to assist in the foul it had begun when the enemies oi constitutional liberty in the old world "wh6 lrave prophesied our failure wero mocking at our calamity when the rebel power had invoked and enlisted on its side, ttie greed of gain in those who ctrtdd furnish tho engines and missels of death from abroad when the means of the nation were being exhaustedJ,t'in the gigantic war when the compatriots bfKossDTrf and Gahabaidi, and the champions1 of freedom everywhere,'were* looking with straining eyes across the] deep, andfwaiting'witli trembling hoarts the fearful issue of the strife whore did the nation see the Woods, the Vallandigham's and the Seymour's, who assumed to teach the multitude tho know! edge of constitutions and laws?

One of the most siibstantial indications of tho acceptability of'tlio Government c'urrcncy among the people is in tho fact that greenbacks" ore everywhero preferred to any other cdrrenCv. We were short time since informed ty a geBtlcinan, whose business required him to travel extensively, that he had1 passed throngh imanv States from Maine to Vicksbnrgh, And everywTicre, upen ofteriqg. ot^Inary ^ank. currency in payment of-a bilii he wag naked if ho could not "make it in 'greonbaOks!" A Washington writer says:

An eminent politician just returned from tho recent Pennsylvania canvass, states that in all tho rural districts of that State the greenbacks" are immensely popular. They are hoarded by the farfners, mechanics and laborers. He was assured «by Collectors of tho Internal llevenue Tax that it was the common practice, of tho. yeomanry to pay their assessments in tho local bank-noto currency, and to hang on to the United States promises to pay. To such an extent is this preference the habit of the people, that the Collectors, embarrassed with the quantity of local paper they receive, are compelled to lose from one-eighth to one-quarter of one per cent, to get Government notes with which to mako their payments into the Treasury.

caption of a cuuplo of cracker-. We, saw a detail which had worked on tho fortifications all day on this slim fare. At a Commissary's warehouse wo noticed a pile ol spoiled bread, which had been thrown put as worthless, and several soldiers wero busily engaged hunting out the least damaged pieces, and storing them away in their haversacks.

Of that usual, but not always uninteresting theme, TMK STATUS OF AFFAIRS, there is but little to write. Night beforo last the Rebels on Lookout Mountain were shelled from one of our batteries on an island in the river. They returned the fire, and an artillery duel was kept up at intervals all day yesterday and to day. The enemy was not driven from his position. At a point some five miles further down the river, there was some skirmishing, which resulted in the killing of two officers and the wounding of about twenty men. Rumors of disasters to Hooker's command were flying through the town and camp last evening," but :we Could trace them to no reliable source. Communication is so difficult with Bridgeport and other points below t!hat wo found it impossible to do any thing in that direction in the way of getting news. Yesterday morning, at 3 o'clock, wo accompanied a friendly ofliccr to the river to witness tho departure of over a hundred

for a point further down, whero another bridge was to bo thrown across. Tho morning was clear and cold, and with the utmost' good order the boys got their places in the boats.

Two brigades wore put on board, and as tho Rebels have possession of the banks it was necessary that tho utmost discipline and silence be maintained. No word or other noise could be heard ns tho crafts floated silently from their moorings. Funeral quietude reigned, disturbed only by tho faint thug of tho oar or tho shriek of the lone night bird. Tho moon was shining, not brightly, but calmly, and as its light was re fleeted from the-burnished bayonets of these gallant Western soldiers, a scono of impress ivc solemnity was presented, worthy the pen of the sweetest poet. This journey was one of danger, as for somo distance it lay within range of the enemy's musket.. The foe, wearied out with watching by day, had with a feeling security, sought their blankets never droaming that numbers of the hated Yankees were quietly floating bv, unmolested by their murderous missies. The bravo boys on board, with suppressed breath breathed their silent prayers, and thought again, as oft before, of the dangers, hardships and romance of a soldier'slifo. Safely, and undiscovered bv the enemy, the boats arrived at their destination, and" ere this the bridge is built.

You aro aware that Messrs. Lincoln ami Davis have each been making. IMPORTANT CnASGKS. in the organization of their armies in this part of tho country.'

We are not permitted to give the particu lare to your Northern readers, though there is little doubt that Bragg basUw fullest information long ago. Ono of his pickets yes terdhy asked one of ours, how his regiment liked the change from 's to 's brigade. Our man didn't kuow the change bad been made, yet it had, and the rebel knew it. Another gmyb«cfc wanted to know what had jbeen dono with the fellow who was bucked nhd gagged the day beforo, for talking with thom. From these incidents you -see that the enemy have other means of information than army correspondents. We can stftte,however, that Gon. Palmer takes command of Thomas' old corps, and that the two corps are organized into six divisions. But these things are of iiUie interest, as. the peo pie look more to goneral results than to the minutia of brigade or division organization.

Jkanidialliiifc changes that Wave been taade, we ha.remarked u:oo* .$$i9Ab'isvmrKWMt with which the soldiers, flf ^ris.army receives the news. The new ajrangamentshere have created Utile feeling 6r excitement, and if it should be announced to-day that Mr. Lincoln hftdi arrived to take command of this army in pprsonjj we doubt whether it would create much excitement. The boya are more inter ested in a good supiply of bread iibd bacon, and without it will get up: little enthusiasm. Whether this gtoieiam indicbtes nfl&tled dotermination to fight and die, come what may, or ii Hidk bf lnterestin tho cause, we leave to surmise. Certain it is that the boys are ready .for: any-fate, and so long as they are in the army.will do their duty. ,But they must be better provided for than at present, or their efficiency will be iihpftired, and aissaUs faction in the ranks will be the result.

Perhaps all is done that can be, but the survivors of Stone .River and Chicamauga deserve tlio best their country can give them.

Wo met yesterday two or three men who had co'ino through on tho short road from Rridgcport through.

THE MEADOWS.

They had over forty shots fired at them from hct-oss tho river while going" over the space of a few hundred yards They escaped but horses and mules aro daily shot at this placc.

The river here is very narrow, and its banks are a favorite*'resort for tho rebel sharpshooters. Still the road over the moun tains is so wretched that almost every one prefers tho shorter route, notwithstaudinu the danger. In truth, mingling with the army* tends to blunt the sense of danger, and produces a, seeming security which often renders the cowardly brave, and the limid, reckless1.!i ,.' "TRK HA'T£ ARRASdEMENIS, Have been so deranged for some time past that it has taken letters some ten days to come from Louisville. They come promptly to Bridgeport, and the. delay has been be tween hero and there. Among other hardships in the army none are as severely felt as the want of mail matter. Wo knew something of it at Kr.oxville, but here it is no bet ter, although it is hourly announced that sup plies of papers have arrived. The Postmas ter, however, will have a train of pack mules at his'command to-morrow, and better accommodation will then bo had, and faster time made.

Thero has been considerable talk and some feeling iu regard to the,, ARMY CORRESPONDENTS Of this department since the late battle.

Not only have many of the officors come down on them heavy but, to make tho mat* ter worse, they have teen having their own private bickerings among themselves. Tho Commercial, of the 16th, contained somo severe reflections on Mr. Shanks, of the Herald, and his conduct at Chicamau»a. As to the justice of these, knowing nothing, we have no opinion to giv^. Regarding the accounts of the battle, they are all said, by an army officer, to be the most inaccurate of any published during tho war. Wo meant, howaver, to state that "Mack," who was so confident that Mr. Shanks could.not revisit this army, seceived his walking papers to day, and, as wo are informed, started "footback" to the frozen North. If so, we congratulate him qn getting back to a land where there is something'to eat and driqk. Such exile is not always to be shunned. Tho Bohemian Corps here is growing beautifully less, and how soon the fates or powers that bo, will dispose of "your own," is among the thingB now unknown. Should they send us off, we can cxclaim truthfully, "Exiled, banished—what's banished

But Bet free from daiiy contact With the things we loatho." Those things being, of courso, hard tack and bacon.

As we write our ears arc saluted by two kinds of music, ench equally grateful. One is the roaring of tho cannon, shelling Lookout Mountain, and the other is the sweet strains of General Beatty's Brigade Band. It plays every day, morning, noon and night in front of his quarters, and does much to keep up the spirits of the eary soldiers in the neighboring camps. While wandering around to day, we came across a poor, shabily dressed old man standing over the grave of an only sos, who was buried a few days ago, having died from a woundreceived at Chicamauga. The old man lived but nshort distance from here, and was onco wealthy and influential. His family had dwicdled away from ono cause or another, and finally his only son, the hope of his declining years, enlisted in a Kentucky Regiment and fell mortally wounded on the banks of tho "river of death." His father was poor and had come bore with no fine metallic coffin to tako him home to receive tho funeral obsequies and honors of the mul titudc To drop a tear and see the spot where laid his last hope on eaith, was all the old man's mission. Somo of the dead boy's cumpauions had erected a rudo head board at his grave, and as the sorrowful father sat, or rather laid, clapping it in his arms, wo noticed many an eye moistened and cheek wet which hail long been unused to tho scald ing tear.

With a sigh, the father finally turned slowly away, while that beautiful, though oft quoted saying of Cato came involuntarily to our mind. If the old mau ever seen it, perhaps he felt its consolation, and that ho too could say—'•Thanks to the God*! my son has done bis duty.

Whowoaldnot bo that pontb? What pity'ns That we can die bat once to Snto onr countrjl" None know the sorrow of his heart or the tumultuous feelings that agitated his breast, as ho turned from that grave, so soon, perhaps, to be trampled level with the ground, with nothing to mark the resting placo of him who lay buried beneath. Almost daily fathers come here seeking the bodies of their sons, hut go back disappointed.

We meant to speak in oar last of tho E1KTH NINTH OIIIO REGIMENT, and its part in the great battlo. The regiment was in the fight of Saturday antf Sunday, and skirmished with the enemy for the two previous days. Col. Dick's brigade, of which it was a part, was on the left wing, fn a very exposed situation.

When the order was given to retreat, although almost surrounded, the regiment was, through the skillful management of Oolonel Frambcs, brought out in safety. The Colonel is a good officer, and we regret to learn that bo has been ordered to Ohio on business connected with the recruiting service. Their loss in the fight was seven killed, forty wounded and twenty-eight missing. As the regiment was raised in Southern Ohio, these particulars of its gallant conduct will be of interest to many of your readers.

A word about

OUR GENERALS QERK,

And we draw the curtain. Gen. Grant is daily seen on his horse riding through tho camps and becoming thoroughly posted regarding tho position of affairs, llo is tho same hard-working, stern-looking soldier ho was at Vlcksburg, and is complete master of the situation.

hsI fe" it ,}?

About one & clock the three furnaces were tapped in quick succession, and in a moment three streams of molte^'iron were pouring into the pool, from which, as tho metal rose to the level of tho opening, two fiery lines shot into each of the moulds. The intense heat of the iron -pouring along these seven streams, with the molten mass in the reservoir, seemed to have no extraordinary effect on the workmen, who performed their accustomed duties of skimming and clearing the mould with as much indifference as if the glowing metal surrounding them and filling the air with showers of sparks wereharmle streams of water. Familiarity with such situations is apt to breed contempt of darker, but we believe that no accident has ever yet occured at the works during the operation of casting. Notwithstanding the unusually risky character of the experiment on Saturday, everything passed oft' successfully, and the streams of hot metal and cold water, crossing and interlacing on their way, poured into the moulds without accident.

The success of tho experiment abundantly demonstrates the capacity of the works for the manufacture of guns of twenty-inch calibre. Tho furnaces charged with seventy-two tons of metal on Saturday have an aggregate capacity of over ninety tons, and can supply that amount of metal if required, for a single casting. We have seen no reliable statement of the weight of the projected gun, but presume that its rough draft, in the pit, will be between seventy and eighty tons. The rough weight of the fifteen-inch columbiad is about thirty-seven tons, and the new gun will be nearly twice as heavy. No other establishment in the country has a present capacity for a casting of such magnitude, and we presume there arc none of sufficient capacity on the other side of the Atlantic.

[Prom the Pittebttrjf Dispatch, lOlh.J Anunparraiied Feat in Iron Fonnd* ing—Seventy-two Tons of Metaiut

One "Heat." We have already noticed the fact that pre patations were' progressing at the Fort Pitt Works in this city, for the manufacture of twenty-inch guns, the lathe, patterns, etc., being in an advanced condition. As tho experiment of manufacturing a gun of such caliber, however is one of great risk, it was determined at least to settlo ohe point practically beforo attempting to mould the great gun, by melting, at a single heat, nearly the same quantity of metal as would be required for the twenty-inch.' For this purpose two guns were moulded ofthe fifteen-inch iiavy pattern, and e&ch furnished with a twelve-inch, instead of a fifteen-inch, hollow cere, making, tho rough weight of each of the guns nearly as great as that of the columbiad fifteeninch.

These moulds were placed side by side iu tho pits of the new foundry, and on Saturday morning five of the Turn ca in the foundrywere charged, three for the special purpose of costings the great guns, and two for the ordinary work of the shop. The respective weights of these charges wMl give some idea of tho capacity of these ent-mou3 furnaces, being thirty-four, nineteen, niueteen, thirteen' and eight and a naif tons, an aggregate of nearly ninety-four tons, and a far greater amount of matal, we believo, than was ever reduced in furnaces in a siugle establishment in one d.iy. Seventy-two tons of this metal, being the charge of the three large furnaces, were designed for the casting of the experimental guns. The metal was led from each of these furnaces to a large pool, equidistant from each of the moulds, and communicating by two "runners" with two "gates" of each.

Thursday evening last, six country

women went into Mr. C. A. Moore's dry goods store, corner of Main and Sixth, and while a portion of them attracted the attention of the proprietor and his clerks, the others busied themselves iu secretiug about their persons sundry articles of merchandise. Tho goods wero not [missed until yestert^y morning, and in looking around the streets, the women who had visited the store tho evening previous were found just getting into their wagons to return homo. The proprietor kindly suggested that some mistake bad been made in putting up their packages, and asked to examine the contents of the variou3 parcels, when the missing ai tides, about thirty dollars worth, were brought to light Mr. Moore took possession of tho goods and went to consult with an officer as to what course to pursue, during which time the par ties left town.

J®" A party of three of our boj'S wont up near Itosedalc, Parko county, Thursday night, for the purpose of arresting deserters. Arriving in the neighborhood, they learned that ono of the men they were in search of, James T. Montgomery, of tho 43d Indiana, was to be married that evening. Whip in hand and representing themselves as cattle buyers, they went to the house and joined in with tho festivities. After a while the boys went out, waited until the company had dispersed, ami about fifteen minutes after the bridal party had retired, mado a descent on them and took tho groom in charge. Wilson Tarkhurst and William Farris, both of the S5th, were also arrested, and tho trio brought to town yesterday. They will be sent to their regiments this morning.

A womau of Great Salt Lake Coun

Judge Drake granted the mother's wish, remarking thn^. the sccond marriage was criminal, and nu\ and void—which the Desert (Utah) News says is "detestable" and an official outrago."

A day or two siuco a well dressed,

genteel looking woman stepped into Edsall, Root & Co.'s Store, and asked to look at some silks. Selecting a pattern she asked to tako the whole p'eco to the residence of one of our prominent citizens to see if it would suit. Her request was granted by the clerk, since which time nothing has beon heard of her. This house seems to have had quite a run in the3ilk line lately, but notwithstanding this, their stock is full and very attrac' tive.

The aboy.f ia^bont the commentary which might have beep cxgected from a paper entertaining the views .of the Scnliiie^^ Yf suppose that it, will next allege that the rebeljion in t^.e South is a stupendous humbug." We believe that the Sentiful at one time recommended tho adoption ef the Montgomery constitution, alleging that,it was superior to the constitution of.theUnited States made by the fathers of tho Republic. The Seutinel hastily acknowledged that jhe.. wisd,ow of Jeff. Davis and his associate, conspirators against the lite of the nation was Superior to that of Washington ant^Jj?kferson.and the other .patriots of that,day. From that time uutil the, present it has uniformly thrown its influence against, the Government and every moa,sure it has seen fit to adept for tho suppression of the rebellion, and. has opposed and discouraged in every manner t^c further prosecution of tho war.

Now, if the Sentinel and all the other lead ing Butternut journals have attempted to, prove to their readers that the rebel constitution is superior,to the Federal constitution and that Jefferson Davis and his fellow traitors were wiser and better than Wash-^ ingtox and others of the fathers, can it be considered a stupendous humbug that their teachings should have some effect upon their fellows, anff instigate them to plot treason against the Government Certainly not,.

The Sentinel denied the existence of the organization of tho Kuiglits of the. Golden Circle, even while hupdreds of thioso who wore seduced into it, wero leaving it and making solemn oaths in courts of justice that such an organization did in fact exist and was treasonable iu its purposes.

In this instance, this great plot against the government in Ohio, involving tho leading Butternuts in that State, has been detected and shown to exist by the mest indubitable testimony. And further, some of the parties arrested wero the most intimate friends of Yallandigham, and had just comc from, consultations with him.

The Sentinel cannot wink this plot, and its exposition down as a matter of trifling importance. Instead, of being got up iu the Insane Assylum of Ohio, it was on the contrary brought into existence by leading mea in that State who bcloDg to the Sentinel's own party, and are tho recipients of its favors.

Taking this occurrence, in connection with the conduct of the Copperhead leaders in New York and elsewhere, and also in connection with the teachings- of their journals, and the record against them is tenfold more damning and criminal than that made by ARnold and Burr, and will ^consign them to more dishonorable graves.

The Northwestern Sanitary Fair. We learn from the Chicago Jorunal that the fair for the benefit of the^Sanitary Commission ia progressing satisfactorily indeed the icsult exceeds the most sanguine expectations. Donations are pouring in from every quarter—from some quarters where thry wero unexpected.

Various^trophies of the battle field tbo flags of war won regiments the original copy ofthe President's Emancipation Proclamation and numerous ether objects of attraction are on exhibition, all of which attract immonse crowds. Tho flag of the 2d Wisconsin regiment was carried through no less than fourteen battles and now but a rag of

it remains. Among the trophies capturcd from the endmyare: The battle-flag of the Fiist Tennessoo Volunteers—a course piece of rebel bunting, captured at Chaplain Hills, by tho First Wisconsin a magnificent looking rebel battle-flag, captured from the Summit Rifles at Vicksburg, and presented to the Chicago Mercantile Association by the Mercantile Battery the colors of tho Clark County Farmers, captured at the Hatchie by Bolton's Battery, and presented by them to the city of Chicago tho flag ofthe|Sixth Texas Infantry —one of the handsomest and most showy in the entire collection. A large azure shield, in the ccntcr of which is a broad white star surrounded by smaller stars, is set in a deep crimson field. It was captured at Arkansas Post a blood-stained rebel ensign from the sanguinary field of Gettysburg, capturcd by tho Sixtieth New York Volunteers. Next a rebel battle-flag, captured at Williamsburg a shabby, colorless flag, captured from the rebels at Logan's Cross Roads, by the Sccond Minnesota Volunteers.

Then comes the battle-llag of the Flat Rock Riflemen, of Virginia, inscribed "Our Rights." Then comes a small, delicate signal flag, capturcd from Gen. an Dora's body guard, by tho 2d Michignn Cavalry.— Then is a standard of the 1st Alabama cavalry, at Middletown Tennessee a Rebel flag, captured from the 23d irginia at Cheat riv er, upon which is impudently quoted "Through God we shall do valiantly, fcr ho it Is that shall tread down our enemies." This flag was captured by the 14th ^Oh oat Choat river.

The Rebel Plans.

In the following wo perceive something more than mere newspaper speculation: Wo stated on a former occasion that'the veTV existence of the Confederate States aud army were dependert upon tho reoccupation of Tennessee by Gen. Bragg. Our enemies know this as well as our own Commanderin Chief. There is no iisk or sacrifice, no concentration of strength that will be spared in the accomDlishment of the rcconquest of Tennessee. The Arm/ of Virginia wiil be thrown upon East Tennessee, and that of tbo -Mississippi Valley upon Rosecrans rear, in the direction of Murfreesboro. The calm that followed the storm at Chicamauga iithe presage of more terrible events, and the coming shock of contending armies on the soil of Tennessee will be decisive of the fate of the Confederation.

How Horace Greely Labors "Agate," the correspondent oft the Cin. Gazette writes as follows to that paper, in regard to the amo.unt.of work Mr., Greely accomplishes:

One could not help a little astonishment at noticing how young Mr. Greely and Mr. Tilton were, and bow old the perennial sayer of elegant things, Mr. Willis, ,waa becoming Mr. Greely certainly looks fresher than he did five years ago and it would bo hard to tell whether ho or Mr. Tilton, (who is still under thirty,) wero the younger in spirit. Mr. Willis was suffering a little again from ,his throat and lungs, and began, as he said, to feel as if he were really an oldish man.— After a third of a' century's prolonged and continuous literary success, he may well afford to feel so- -Gen. Geo. P.Morris, his partner in the Home Journal, is in exceedingly feeble health, and Mr. Willis is consequently compelled to forego the delights of ldlewild, and brace himself to more regular work in tho office on his paper.

Mr. Greely, in addition to furnishing more than half the lerfditig editorials of the Tribune, and excorcising a general supervision over its columns, preparing a weekly article for the Independent, attending to his multiform professional and political cares, and pponding ono day in every week in working on his farm, is finding time to prepare a histoiy of the Rebellion—particularly, I believe, with reference to tho progress of antislavery opinion. It is to make two octavo volumes, one of which is to be given to the publisher, in March. He has a den, as he rails it, down town, away from the Tribune offico, whero he locks himself up in the mornings, to dictate this history to a phonographer.

One gets new ideas of the capabilities of twenty-four hours, by noticing how thisgreatest of living journalists manages to fill them up. Ho was good enough, one morning, to call for me to ride out with him to the school, a tnile or so beyond tho Central Park, in which his daughter, a charming young Miss of fourteen or fifteen, is beiBg educated. He had Already achieved breakfast and a horseback ride. I not *Ven my morning toilette. The ride over, he was off to his "den" to work on his book then to tho offico to write editorials and answer his pile of letters then "out to ditie and finally ho wound up the evening by going off to hear Dr. Chapin preach, and to pay a parting visit to the office I

From The Richmond Examiner, Oct. 27. The Seizure of the Rebel Rnm«. The seizure of the rAms said to bo in course of construction for the Confederate Government was so cloarly foreshadowed in tho recent speech of Lord llussel at Blairgowrie that it excitcs no surprise. It will be a bitter disappointment to the high hopes that had been formed of their efficiency and influence upon tho fate of the war by the sanguine minds of our people, yet it admits of grave doubt whether their importance to eur cause wa3 not much overrated. Bright visions had been conjurcd up of tlio blcckada broken and tho enemy's cities bombarded. Wo should, however, reflect that the construction of a vessel adapted to resist the violence of the North-Atlantic gales, and to cross tho ocean from Europe to Amcrica, necessitates a lightor armament and a thinner mailing of iron than thoso intended solely for coast or harbor defense.

The Monitors already possessed by the Yankees, and tho still more formidable ones rapidly advancing to completion, would be superior to any wo would be likely to receive from Europo, and consequently no such great results could be anticipated from them as somo ardent imaginations, of both Confederates r.nd unkees, have depicted. Le Gloire, the boast of the French Navy, stated by Admiral Paris in a recent work to bo superior to tho British ship Warrior, has a plating of twelve centimeters, less than five inches. Tho Monitors have in many instances eight and ten inches. Not having to consult buoyancy and safety to the,same extent, they can be made more formidable for the purpose of fighting iu harbors or in smooth water.

"Immovable as a Rock."—Gon. Thomas, in the midst of his deadly fight with the overwhelming masses of the enemy, sent this immortal dispatch from the front to Gen eral Rosecrans: "I am here, with my columns as immovable as a rock."

pjg° a Ivanaaa Colonel fell in love with a set'osh damsel, got happy and proposed Jeff. Davis' health, was degraded from his command, deserted to tho rebels, was mittcned by. tho aforesaid damsel, and chosen Captain of a rebel company. The way of transgressors Is bard.

As I wait and wait on the lonely shore.

Knowing that tempest, and tims, and storm, Have wreoked and shattered my beauteous bark! Rank sea-weeds cover her wasted form,

And still with a patience that is not hope, For vain and empty it long hath been, I sit on thorough shore's rocky slope.

The Big Guns at Charleston worry our English friends, and they grumble loudly at the want of invention In the British service, which has left them so far behind American in this matter. The London Examiner says: "Two »-::ws have given tho Americans forty or more iOO-pounders which havo beaten down a strong fortress at a distance of two miles. Sir William Armstrong's 210-pounder, at that distance, could hardly knock an old duck off its nest and no gun that was ever cast or forged, with a charge of twelve pounds of powder could do that which Farrott's guns have done." Considering that Sir William was knighted for tho invention of his gun which "will not knock an old duck off her nest" at two miles, tho grumbling docs not seem to be unfounded. The difl'erenco between the progress mado here and iu England in guns, is owing probably to the different system which has been pursued in d9voloping the improvements. Sir William had the Ordinance Department to aid bis in vention and to exclude all others. Here th widest competition has been invited, and the experiments in developing tho invention ar« generally at the cost of the inventor himself.

What the Rebel Masses War. Notwithstanding tho boasted determination of the rebel leaders to carry on tho war to tho bitter end, portentous murmurs rise from tho people in all quarters, beseeching that it may come to a close, and muttering threats, deep if not yet loud, against those who protract their sufferings. A letter found on tho body of a rebel soldier, and written bv his relative in Alabama, declares that half tho people in that section havo no meat to eat, that meat is two dollars and a half a pound, and that corn will soon bo fivo dollar a bushel. It also declares that they look upon the Confederacy as conquered, and that "men who would fight for such a Government as this surely have not good sense."

Thus starved and oppressed, they lind they are paying their littlo all in lives and taxes, and for what? Each one, as he recurs to tho past, asks himself in vain. Whatever they may havo feared, they look back upon tho days of peace, plenty and perfect liberty, and cemparo thom with the hardships, losses, anguish and despair of tho present, and, but for that tcrriblo oligarchy whieh rules at Richmond, and has an army as itexecutioners, they would coino back to tuJ) g^d old ways with shouts of joy.

To represent this feeling in North Carolina, it is further stated that a gontlemcn occupying a semi oliieial position in t,hat State, and bearing the views of tho prominent conservative men, including somo of tho bights: Rebel official diguitaries, has arrived at Newborn, and proposes a plan which shall open the way by which the voice of the peo plo may be heard. Now aud then wo catch faint streaks of the dawn, and by and by perhaps, it will burst upon us in the form of so unmistakable a counter revolution that tho rebellion will nst tak the coup de grace at our hands, but will end by felo de se and a fitter subject for suicide never existed.

But these and all other good signs should only incite us to still greater efforts in stimulating enlistments and hurrying up the proceedings under the President's call. The mere existence ol a new and overwhelming force, will, of itself, bo a powerful aid in Crushing out what remains of this rebellion. —Phil. Inqoirer.
