SONG. fell me you love inn ; I know it full well, Though of tr ul lis so delightful one can't be too sure; Doubts will arise that a breath may dispel, Fears thai alone suoH avowals can cure. y, hen were those syllables murmured in vain? Tell me you love me again and again. Tell me you love me, though often before Yi ii have told me tlie tule I now bid you repeat; Outpourings like those from tbe lips we adore tn.their fond Iteration grow daily mere sweet ; Why from the tender confession retrain ! Toil me you lov.' in--' again and again. Tell tno yon love me, though bent to deceive. With such sweet assurance I'm content to believe. Such delusion were dearer than everyday truth; We in time learn loloolCorj and cherish us s*ootb. Begeal tbose sweet words, though their fondness you feign". Ami lell me you love mc again aud again. Tell me yon love me : no skeptic am T, Wiio would question tho faith oi the heart of his choice ; When did Falsehood look forth from so truthful an eye Or Dei 'Twere ; less untrustful a voice? ubt tbee, so welcome my Rut tell me yon love me again and again. "GREEK FiliF,." Three cups of wine a prudent man may take t The Brut of these for constitution's suke ; The.second to tlie girl be loves the best ; The third (and last) to lull him to hia rest ; Then home to bed ! But if a fourth be pours, That is the cup of lolly, and not ours. Loud, noisy talking on the filth attends ; The eixth breed-, feuds and falling out oi friends ; Seven begets blows and faces stained with gore : Eight—and the watch-patrol breaks ope the door : Mad with tbe ninth another cup goes round, And the swilled sot falls senseless ou the ground [Tiberius.} A HAOHELOR'S WISH. I should like a snug bouse wilh several acres. No score at my butcher's nor yet at my baker's ; A nice little wife, after which my heart hankers, And always a hundred or two at my banker's. I should like a nice pony and a nice little carriage To drive my dear wife about alter her marriage ; To attend to my pony I should like a nice man- To work in my garden and do what he can ; To attend to my house I should like a nice maid- To cook us nice dinners, be sober and staid ; Tc attend to my wife, I should like a small page- To make himself useful and take a small wage— To open the door and go quick to the post, And hunt np tbe fowls and keys when they're lost To attend to myself I should like a nice dog ; To lie in my stye I should like a fat hog. I should like a few cherubs to sit round my table ; For my wife and for them I would do what I'm able. When October comes round I would brew some nice beer; 'Twould be ready for tapping the end of the year. To my neighbors and friends I would open my door, Aud I neTer would forget the cause of the poor. I'd do all that and more for you, darling honey. Rut I can't you perceive, just for want of the money. "Stonewall" .Incltsoii. Have you ever seen General Jackson ? Many of your readers, at leapt, have not. lam not much at pen-and-ink portrait?, but I cannot resist the temptation lo give you a short and rough sketch ot the hero of the valley. Imagine then a man about 5 feet 10 inches high, rather thick set, full chest, broad, stalwart shoulders, and iudecd the whole physique indicating what is commonly called a well-made man. He is the picture of henlthi yet therefappears a redundancy of flesh. His face is slightly bronzed from the constant exposure o' hie campaigns. It was said of Caaaat that if he had not beeu a conqueror, he would have excelled all bis contemporaries as a boxer or athlete ; and so I should say of Jackson, he would be a dangorous antagonist at fisticuff. His appearance at first impress you with the idea of great powers of endurance, strength and elasticity of frame. The expression of his face adds lo, rather thau diminishes tlio general effect. There you see eelf-command, perseverance, indomitable wili, that seems neither to too' think of any earthly obstacle, and all this without tbe least admixture of vanity, asssuraacy, pride fool-hardiness, or anything of the kind. There seems to be no disposition to assert its pretentious, but from the quiet sense of conviction of his relative position, which sets the vexed question ol Belf-iimportance at rest; a peculiarity, I would re" mark, of great minds. Ii is only the little and the frivolous who are forever obtruding their petty vanities before the world. His face also expresses courage in the highest degree, and hiB phrenological developments indicate a vast amount of e.npr gy and activity. His forehead is broad and prominent, tho occipital and sincipital regions are both large and well, balanced; eyes expressing a singular union oi mildness, energy and concentration ; cheek and nose both long and well formed. His dress'ia a common gray suit of faded cassimere, coat, pants and hat—tbe coat slightly braided on the sleeve, just enough to be perceptible, the color displaying the mark of a Major General. Ol his gait itis sufficient to say that lie just goes about, not a part, ieleof the strut, the military swagger, turkey- gobbler parade, so common among officers of small rank and smaller minds. It would be a profitable study for some of onr military swells to devote ono hour each day to tbe contemplation of tho magnificent plainness of "Stonewall." To military fame, which they can never hope to attain, ho unites tho simplicity of a child, the straight-forwardness of a western farmer. On last Sunday he was dressed as above, and bestrode as common ahorse as one would see in a summer day. There may be those who would be less sttuck with his appearance, as thus accoutred, than if bedizzaned with lace, and holding the reins of a magnificent barb, caparisoned aud harnessed for glorious war. Bai to one who had seen him, aa I had, at Gold Harbor and Malvern Hill, in the rain of shells and the blaze of the death-lights of the battle-field, when nothing leas than a mountain would serve as a breast-work against the P>G-inch shells which howled and shrieked through tbe sickly air. General Jacksou in tatters would be the same hero as General Jackson in gilded uniform. In my simple view he is a nonpareil—he is without a peer. He has enough energy to supply a whole manufacturing district—enough military genius to stock two or three military schools of the Of West Point—Savannah Arew3. " Admission Day." The occasion which was commemorated in San Francisco on Tuesday, tbc Oth of September by a civic procession aud other proceedings appropriate to hollidays1 stands foremost in tbe annals of California; for on that day twelve years ago (September Dth, 1S50) the Bis'erhood of North American States received a new accession, and tho virgin sovereignty of tbe Pacific was crowned witb her first laurel wreath. The first meeting of the Convention of Delegates to frame a State Constitution met on the 1st of SepU-mbcr, 1S49, a little more than a year be ft ire the inauguration, and not one year and a half from the date of the first |To lie in my stye I should discovery oi gold, at the town of Monterey, and ' »-«---* on tbe 13th of October following, the Constitution was finished aud the signatures of the delegates appended. On the 13th of November lhe ballot was taken on the Constitution, and it may be noted an indication of the popularity of the movement, that in Sau Francisco two thousand aud fifty-one voted in favor of the Constitution, and only (our against. Tho vote throughout lhe whole country was twelve thousand and sixty-four in favor of, and eight hundred and eleven against it- How many interesting, thrilling and wonderful events have transpired since that inauguration ' That wis the day of prosperous placer diggings, e mercantile consignments and enormous fortunes—the day wbich gave to John C. Fremont and William M. Gwin their seats in the Uuited States Senate ; which sout poor Gilbert to tbe lower House of Congress to earn distinctions which, had his useful life not been untimely cut short by a weok compliance with a false code of honor, would have given his name a prominent and an honored place in the history of that State whose best interests he had so deeply at heart. Peter H- Buvnett was selected for the honors of the first Governorship, and John McDougall took his seat as Lieut. Governor. On tbe electoral tickets ol tbat period figured the names of many who have iince paid the debt of nature—among tbem Gab- ■iel B. Post, who established the first regular line of packets to the Sandwich Islands, and who was one of the first of our State Senators—his coadjutor being Nathaniel Bennett. In the Assembly were William Van Vorhics, Edmund Randolph* Levi Stowell, J. H. Watson and J. A. Patterson' Wm. Van Vorbies was likewise Secretary of State Richard Roman, Treasurer ; S. II. Houston, Controller; Edward J. C. Kewen, Attorney General; S. C. Hastings, Chief Justice ; Associate Justices, J. A. Lyon and Nathaniel Bennett. Happy fraternity, to whom was given tbe privilege of loading off in the political annals of a State, which, unless tbc " Star of Empire" should go out entirely, must ere long take rank with tbe most important members of tbe constellation ! To very few is granted snch an opportunity for distinction, yet cf all these few now live, for their virtuous or patriotic deeds, in the memory of the people. Since tha1 era, California bas not only redeemed the country more than once from threatened bankruptcy, but has contributed greatly to the wisdom by which the councils of tbe nation have been directed.— Twelve years have elapsed since the Constitution became a law, and to day there is not in the whole Union a State more loyal or more prosperous, or more ready to perform lier share in sustaining the burthens of the Government thau California, the bright particular Star of the Pacific! If any ou tutu nena nau ueeu eueuuiageu, tne enthusiasm with which all classes hailed the fesliv- ties of " inauguration" should suffice to convince the most skeptical.—San Francisco Sunday Me?" cury.

A Story About General Batter. A story is told concerning Gen. Bailer which is not calculated to prove his confidence in the safety of lhe secession element by which he is surrounded Some time ago Gen. Butler, Eluding that it wa; almost impossible to devote to his wife lhe cares to which she is entitled, resolved to part witb he: and to send her homeward. Tbe day of departure arrived, and be went with his wife and his children to the boat on which they were to embark. Unfortunately lhe water was high and the boat difficult of access. The plank-thrown upon the water between the deck aud the shore formed an acute angle, and Blondin himself would have found It difficult to maintain his equilibrium upon it. But Gen. Butler, confident that his centre of gravity was sufficiently ponderous to secure him agaiust, ail accidents, ventured bravely upon the steepy road. Hardly had he walked two Bteps, however, than Ms feet glided along and down he went measuring lho plank with ail his length, and pro duciug at the same time a noise somewhat similai to that of au old kettle. His servants ran to his assistance, and he was soon up again, When it had been ascertained lhat the general was unhurt, inquiries were made concerning the sound of metal heard at the time of his fall. I. was not long before the mystery was solved. The clothes of the general having been torn in his peril- s descent, people saw. protruding underneath his coat, one large breastplate, reaching from his neck down to bis thighs. This was the object that had produced the noise. It was ascertained after- raids that the general wears this kind ol armor ince his arrival in Now OrleaoB, and that he nev r goes out without it,—N.

But what makes his case a very remarkable one> if not altogether unprecedented, is this : His household consisted of a lady housekeeper and Bve indoor servants, and at the time of his death, at Polebrook Rectory, for the following periods : lady housekeeper, 23 years; cook, 30| years; housemaid, 24 years; kitchen maid, 11 years ; butler, 31 years ; coachman, 3i years.

" I found I must select some one man,' said the President "to command all the area of the United States, and though it may be possible that Halleck is not a great General, I firmly believe he is tbe best I have got." lie stated, further, in coarse of his conversation, that Stauton had no more to do with military affairs than a clerk.

Mr. J. Rhodes, of Merley, near Leeds, England, exhibits in the International Exhibition a compact machine for per. forming the first process towards converting old rags into new cloth. The stuff here produced is called '■ Mango, " a hotter kind of " Devil's dust. " The fibre of the latter ia extremely short—so Bhort as to give it the name of dust.

Tbe World is a leading Republican paper. Ita comments are as just as they are severe. It say!?: " We have been outnumbered and overborne. It ia of no use to blink the fact. The Secretary may conceal it. The press will not. The Government has concealed it aa long aa it was able. It has held tbe endB of the telegraph in its possession. It haa guarded tbe routes to and from Fortress Monroe. It haa suppressed the dispatches which gave it full and reliable information. It promised to communicate the truth, good or evil, to the public whenever it waa sure of the facta. It lias violated its promise. Its Cabinet officers havo caused falsehoods or statements which suppressed and pervert, ed the truth to be transmitted over the country, and, with facts in their possession wbich the people had a right to know; they havo regaled us with rosy fictions which every private aud truthful report from the seat of war, now at last arrived by messenger and mail, pronounces a deceit and a sham." A Man of Long Prayers.—A lady correspondent of the New York Times recently arrived fron: Richmond. The Times eays : Tho lady has often seen Jeff. Davia. For some months be had his headquarters directly opposite her residence, across the Green (a narrow park). She baa been accustomed to hear him at his morn- and evening devotion. Ho is represented as a man of many long prayers, which, although they arc uttered in a loud voice, ahe does not think that, Pharisee-like, he thus worships to be seen and heard by men. He is a prominent member of the Episcopal Church, and aside from the treasonable course which he has pursued in this rebellion, sho regards his daily life as entirely in oc cordance with the principles of the Christian religion. Chicago, Oct. 2.—B. F. Hallett, lormely a p ment Democratic politican, died at his residen Lowell, Mas., on Tuesday last. New York, Oct. 2.—An army correspondent there must bo fighting before many daya in ne eastern "Virginia, unless the rebels relinquish position at Winchester, without waiting for ■ thrown down the gauntlet. It is impossible to sist the army they claim to have there, withou sessingmore facilities to obtain supplies. Iti; lieved that it may safely be surmised that they not stand about Winchester iu force, because of our threatening attitude. General T. "W. Sherman, known as Port Royal Sherman, left yesterday in tho Marion, to sup sede General Phclpa at New Orlea.is. Genera Mitchell, whose meteor.like career in Alabama, a short time ago, attracted the attention of the world, haa arrived in this city on hia way to supersede Qe_w, Hunter at Hilton Head. Thus, two men of abolitionist propensities, both of them moro famous for special anti-slavery proclamations than for the aup pression ofthe rebelion, will resign tlieir places to men whose fidelity to the Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is, is undoubted. New York, Oct. 3.—A dispatch from tho head quarters of the Army of the Potomac, the 2d, saya : President Lincoln arrived at Harper's Ferry on a special train from Washington yesterday afternoon, and was escorted by Sumner's Divisiion to headquarters. After a cordial interview with McClellan and Sumner, a brilliant cavalcade, composed of J tbc Division and Brigade Generals, with the members of their staffs, reviewed Sumner's corps onBol- var Heights. The troops greeted the President and General McClellan with great enthusiasm. This morning he visited Maryland Heights; at noon rode over to McClellan's headquarters, and during tbe afternoon he was conducted over the Antietam battle-field, The President manifested the greatest interest in all matters concerning ou: recent victories. In the evening he returned to McClellan's hcadquartcra. To morrow he will re view the other troops, and return to Washington on Saturday. A Washington letter to the Commercial Adve. User records several rumors connected with the President's visit to McClellan; among others that he in-tends to detach one of tho latte's officers for important duty—indicating Burnside a3 the person.

During the Revolution, tbe Continental Congress sat for tbe most part at Philadelphia, although it was compelled by the movements ofthe British army to evacuate that city, and to pass through a migratory career at Baltimore, Lancaster, York, Annapolis, Princeton, Trenton, and New York. Tt^e Federal Government, under the preseut Constitution, was inaugurated at New York, 1789, At the first sessiou, which commenced immediately, petitions came in irom various town aud State Governments in regard to the permanent location of the seat of Government. The Bast" eru States aud New York, were opposed to the premature agitation of tbe question, wheu thero were other measures whicli their Befii^aeamtrteii considered of greater national importance, demanding immediate attention. Among these important matters was the proposition to assume the debts of the States by the Federal Government—a measure in which the New England Stales were doubly interested ; first, because, as they alleged, they had made the greatest pecuniary sacrifices in support of the war, aud secondly, because their citizeus were in possession of an undue share of State securities. They were also averse to the removal oftbe capital to any point South of New York ; and the latter State, as a matter of course, concurred with them iu this policy. Pennsylvania was divided between Philadelphia and a point on the Susquehanna called Wright's Ferry, near Havre de Grace. New Jersey was for Philadelphia ; Delaware would, perhaps, have preferred a point low- er*lown the river; Maryland was divided in ita preferences between Baltimore aud some point on the Potomac. The Southern States, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina aud Georgia, were clamorous for tbo Potomac. In the first session the House passed a resolution for tbe permanent establishment ofthe seat of Government at Wright's Ferry, on the Susquehanna, ae soon as suitable buildings could be erected, aud in the menu time the Governmeut was to remain at New York. Thia resolution was matured iuto a bill and seat to the Senate, whence it was amended by tbe substitution of Germautowu for Wright's Ferry. Going back to the house, thia important amendment was agreed to. But au amendment being added, that the laws of Pennsylvania were to remain in force until repealed by Congress, by preventing the immediate consummation of the plan, spoiled Germautowu of ita destiny, The Senate, availing itself of tbis trifling amendment, postponed tbe whole subject uutil the next session of Congress. Iu the meantime, belore tbe meeting of tbe nest Congress, the Legislature of Virgiuia adopted a resolution, offering ten tnilesfquare of its territory on the Potomac Tor the location of the capital. It also offered one hundred aud twenty thousand doi. lars for the creation of public buildings, on condition that the offerof the territory, or & portion of it, should be accepted. At the suggestion of the Virginia authorities, Maryland made a similar offer of territory witb seventy-two thousand dollars. The Southern people were deeply aroused aud agitated about it, aud Mr. Madisou said that Virginia would not bave ratified the Constitution, except witb lbe understanding that the seat of Governmeut was to be located soulhrof Pennsylvania. A compromise was at length agreed upon. Tbe capital was to be permanently located at some point ou the Potomac "between tbu; East Branch, and BOtne point on tbe Couecogeague ;" uud until suitable buildings could be erected, the Government was to reside at Philadelphia. By au amendment the ten miles square might extend below the mouth of the East Branch, so as to include Alexandria, on tbe Virgiuia Bide of tbe main Western Branch, but tbe public buildings were to be on tbe Maryland Bide. Tbe unpronounceable Conecogeague, which is named iu the bill, was forgotten in tbe execution of its provisions, aud ia practically as far from the seat of government as tbe jilted German- town ; and, wc believe, it has never ceased to murmur its discordant complaints to the hills and gorges of Washington county, Maryland, beyond the Blue Ridge. Immediately after the settlement of this qu tion, the Funding Act, with an amendment p: viding lor the assumption of tbe State debts, to the amount o( twenty-one millions, was taken up iu the liouse and passed, " two members representing Potomac districts" changing tiieir votes and coming to ita support. '• Others," says Judgi Marebali, *• would have done likewise, if necessary to carry the bill." He subjoins, by way of apology, that the gentlemen who changed their votea ia understood to have been all tha while favorable to the policy of assumption; but if the capital was to be located north of Maryland, they were opposed to any measure calculated to strengthen the Federal Government. Mr. Jeffersou, whose writings were not published uutil long after Judge Marshall wrote, gives a lull explaualion of the transaction iu his " Anas," substantially agreeing with the above, except as to the feeling which governed the Potomao members in changing their votes. He states that never, in bis day, was the Union so near dissolution as at the date of the above transactions. Alexandria, town aud county, whicb were included within the original limits of the District, were, in 1S4G, retroceded to Virginia. The situation of Washington itself is one of great beauty. From the top of the Capitol or of the unfinished Washington Monument, the city ia seen to be situated iu an ampitheatre, surrounded by graceful bills on the east, north and west; while ou the south Lhe broad and beautiful Potomac opens out a magnificent vista, where placid waters mirror the bills aud tree tops of Virginia and Maryland for many miles. Tbe view down tbe river of a boo summer's morning or afternoon, from any elevated point in Washington or Georgetown, is one of surpassing loveliness. Tlus Change ami wliAt Produces It. The Philadelphia North American Bays : cross- day the threshold ofa palatial jewelry store, in Chesnut street, we observed at the counter a man accompanied by au overdressed female, paying for thousand dollar set of diamonds he had then purchased. The buyer ofthe glittering trinkets, lesB thau a year ago, had as little prospect of owning a thousand dollar set of diamonds as of inheriting the fee simple of all Golconda. Tbe gems were duly disposed upon the person of his companion, aud consigning the empty casket to his pocket,the parties walked out. " How is trade '' we asked of tho proprietor, as he led us back into the store,beaming with smiles. " Trade " said he, " with ua was uever better— rarely so good." We marvelled. He called our attention to bis long row of show cases, in which the a took waa manifestly meagre, aud Irom which very many costly gems that we had kuowu by sight had now " A year ago," said tbe dealer iu the jewels, " our stock was so large ihat we tremble to look at it. We had sets of diamonds, pearls, opals, rubies and emeralds, costing us large suma, whose sale we looked upon as hopeless uutil uatioual order was restored. Now tbey are nearly all gone. We have sold six sets to-day, and $1,001) waa the lowest priced oue among them all," .' Aud tbe buyers ?" " Tbe buyers are all, or nearly all, new faces. Our old customers we scarcely ever sec,exccpt tbey come for some trifling purchase,, or bring tbeir watches to be put in order. So lar from buying Irom us, tbey ofieuer come with requests for the purchase back of gems bought from us years before." " Who are your present best customers 1" *we asked. "Just such persons as those you paased on enter, ing tbe door. Army speculators and contractors are now spending the money. It ccmea eaaily : it departs upou wings equally rapid. Contractors' indirectly, oftentimes, pay for their contracts." "Pay for their contracts ?'' we asked. " Not always directly, but generally by a preseut other than money. By grateful contractors who desire to exhibit their sense of obligatiou to friends who influence the coutracts, tbe moat liberal purchases of jewelry are made. Iu goud times we had many customers wbo spent at a time aa litlle as three, five or ten dollars. We rarely sell a customer now less thau a fifty dollar diamond or aet ol jewelry." We bowed our thanks for the manifestly veritable inlormation, and walked away ina brown study. EASTEHN INTELLIGENCE. The Times' Washington dispatch has the following: Lincoln's proclamation has inspired most lively terror through the South. The rebels quake with apprehension, aud they express feara that it will be the meaus of producing a counter revolution in tbe slave States. Soldiers desire to return to tbeir homes to protect tbeir families. New Yokk, Oct. 9.—FeusactJa advices state that a portion of the mortar fleet had left for Galvea- tou, aud the remainder with tbe gunboats were to leave immediately. It is thought here tbat thia a ruse, and that Mobile is the destination of the fleet. Cincinnati, Oct. 0.—It is believed that the guerilla forces between tbe Ohio river aud Lexington have all returned southward, and are scouring Taylor, Adams and Green counties ; subsisting ou the Uuiou citizeus, pillaging generally. All tbe bridges here havo been destroyed, uud every possible hindrance presented to the march of tho Federal soldiers. It is ascertained that large supplies of cotton for European ports are obtained by way of tbe liio Graude. Mexicans are engaged shipping iu foreign chips. Tho Texan planters convey their cottou to Brownsville whence it is clandestinely carried ov tho border. On the Sth September, there were 20 vessels there waiting cargo, including an English steamer, whicb bas £60,000 for tbe purchase of cotton. St. John's, Oct. 1-1th.—Tbe following is the ad ditional newB by tbo Asia : Spence, iu writing to the London Times, says the victories gained by the Federal forces in Mary. laud have placed the North iu a position to make peace without dishonor, but that the golden opportunity will be lost, and, he adds, as the North can- not be the first to acknowledge the Independence ot the Confederacy, Europe should remove tb„ stumbling block by recognizing the Confederate States, and the North may theu follow her example. The New York correspondent of the London Times, writing ou the 19tb ult., says : It is evident tbat the decisive battle of the war is not yet fought. All that has happened is but preliminary to a final onslaught. End as it will, it is not likely to make or mar the fortunes of the Confederates. The Army and Navy Gazelle says the South baa tried the offensive, and failed. They bave shown great daring, and been beaten. Tiie exportation of arms and ammunition from England to America is Increasing. The shipment!, of the first eight mouths of tbe year are valued at thirteen hundred thousand pounds. St. Louis, October 8.— The Helena-correspond- eut of tbe Republican says: Reliable intelligence, which is regarded by military men as correct, places the rebel forces tit Arkansas as follows , Hindmau, at Austin, Ifi miles north of Little Rock" wirh 5,000 meu and one battery ; Roan, at White' Sulphur Springs, 50 Miles southwest of Little Rock, with 5,000 men (two regiments of wbich are conscripts) and one battery ; Geu. McRea, on the Arkansas west ol Napoleon—force not stated ; Rains at Jkeop Hollow, with 5,000 men mostly couserTpta; Holmes, Commander-in-Chief, with 2,(100 men and two batteries, at Little Rock ; Mc- Bride, at Batesviile, witb 2,000 men, only 1,500 aro effective. Most of their cavalry force has beeu dismounted. At present, it is not believed that they have got more thau 25,000 effective meu iu tbe State. At Archidelphia, fifty miles southwest of Litlle Rock, the rebels manufacture munitions of war aud have removed the Stato papers and records there. The rebelofflcers boast their intention to invade Missouri, but it ia uot believed by intelligent meu in their camps that they really intended to do so. If they save the capital of the State, it is all they desire at present, and probably more thau they expect. It ia fully expected in Paris that by the Ist of November Mexico will be iu possession of the French. Itis rumored that England haa pointed out to France the necessity of evacuating Rome. Nassau, N. P., papers auuonnce the arrival on the 2d, of the steamer Leopold, from Charleston, witb a cargo of cottou aud rice, Shortly after leaving Charleston she heard firing, which sho supposed to be at the ship Hero,which was expected to leave about tha same time. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 14.—Tbaddeus Stevens has been reelected to Congress from this district today, by three thousand majority. flin.wi.UKiB, ttts., oti, itttt.—Tbu ut i»„«.i **s~- neer or the 12th eays Gen. Sibley has about 2,00t> prisouers. Tbe cavalry are in pursuit ol tbe others. About twenty had thua far beeu couvicted of being connected with the massacres. The "Wer Department has received dispatches from Gen. Pope that tho Sioux war is at an end. Little Crow has fied with a small party to the Yankton country, but a cavalry force had been sent after them. There is nodoubb but that they wilt bo given up. New ToitK, Oct. 14.—The Herald's Washington special dispatch says : It is said that the failure to arrest Stuart aud his bold rebel cavalry, while passing through Maryland, is to bo attributed to the commander of the division at Poolesville, whom instructions had been sent by McClellan, stating that Stuart would probably* retreat on tho lino which he subsequently pursued. A strict investigation is now being had, with tho view of fixing the guilt aud assigning punishment where it properly belongs. Montpeliee, Vt., Oct. 1-A.—The Hon. Solomon Foot was elected U. S. Senator, to-day for 6 years from the 4th of March. The Age of our Enrtb* We extract tbe following from Asassiz's arlicla on " Methods of study in Natural History," in tho Atlantic Monthly : Among the astounding discoveries of modem science Ih that of tbe immense periods wbich have passed in the gradual formation of our earth So vast were tho cycles of time preceding even the appearence of mau on the Btirface of our globe, that our own period seems as yesterdny when compared with the epochs that have gone beforw it. Had we only the -evidence ot the deposits of rock heaped above each other iu the regular strata by the slow accumulation of materials, they alono would convince us of tbe long and alow maturing of God's work on the earth, but when we add to theae tbe successive populations of which tha world bas beeu the theater, and whose remains are hidden iu the rocks into which the mud or sand or soil of whatever kind ou which tbey lived haa hardened in the course of time—or tbe enormous chains of mountaiua whose upheaval divided these periods of quiet accumulation by great convulsions —or the changes of a different nature iu tbe configuration of our globe, aa the sinking ol lands beneath the oceau, or lho gradual rising of con- tiueuta and inlands above it—or the wearing of great river beds, or filling ol extensive water basins, till marshes Brat and then dry land eueeeeded to inland seas—or the slow growth of coral reefa, those wonderful sea walls by the little ocean-architects whose owu body furuish both tbe building stones and tbe cement that bind tfwm together, aud who bave worked ao busily boring tbe long centuries, that there are extensive countries, mountain chains, island.*, and loog Hues of coast consisting solely of tbeir ramaiflfl—or the count- ieBs forests tbat must luve grown, Qaarlfhed, died and decayed, to fill thestorehmise of coal that feed the fires of the humau race to-day -if we consider all these records of the past, the intellect laiU to graap a chronology for wbich our experience fnr- uisheB no data, and the time thut lies behind ua seems as much au eternity to our conception as the future that Etretches indefinitely belore off. 1

SONG.
fell me you love inn ; I know it full well,
Though of tr ul lis so delightful one can't be too
sure;
Doubts will arise that a breath may dispel,
Fears thai alone suoH avowals can cure.
y, hen were those syllables murmured in vain?
Tell me you love me again and again.
Tell me you love me, though often before
Yi ii have told me tlie tule I now bid you repeat;
Outpourings like those from tbe lips we adore
tn.their fond Iteration grow daily mere sweet ;
Why from the tender confession retrain !
Toil me you lov.' in--' again and again.
Tell tno yon love me, though bent to deceive.
With such sweet assurance I'm content to believe.
Such delusion were dearer than everyday truth;
We in time learn loloolCorj and cherish us s*ootb.
Begeal tbose sweet words, though their fondness
you feign".
Ami lell me you love mc again aud again.
Tell me yon love me : no skeptic am T,
Wiio would question tho faith oi the heart of his
choice ;
When did Falsehood look forth from so truthful
an eye
Or Dei
'Twere
; less untrustful a voice?
ubt tbee, so welcome my
Rut tell me yon love me again and again.
"GREEK FiliF,."
Three cups of wine a prudent man may take t
The Brut of these for constitution's suke ;
The.second to tlie girl be loves the best ;
The third (and last) to lull him to hia rest ;
Then home to bed ! But if a fourth be pours,
That is the cup of lolly, and not ours.
Loud, noisy talking on the filth attends ;
The eixth breed-, feuds and falling out oi friends ;
Seven begets blows and faces stained with gore :
Eight—and the watch-patrol breaks ope the door :
Mad with tbe ninth another cup goes round,
And the swilled sot falls senseless ou the ground
[Tiberius.}
A HAOHELOR'S WISH.
I should like a snug bouse wilh several acres.
No score at my butcher's nor yet at my baker's ;
A nice little wife, after which my heart hankers,
And always a hundred or two at my banker's.
I should like a nice pony and a nice little carriage
To drive my dear wife about alter her marriage ;
To attend to my pony I should like a nice man-
To work in my garden and do what he can ;
To attend to my house I should like a nice maid-
To cook us nice dinners, be sober and staid ;
Tc attend to my wife, I should like a small page-
To make himself useful and take a small wage—
To open the door and go quick to the post,
And hunt np tbe fowls and keys when they're lost
To attend to myself I should like a nice dog ;
To lie in my stye I should like a fat hog.
I should like a few cherubs to sit round my table ;
For my wife and for them I would do what I'm able.
When October comes round I would brew some
nice beer;
'Twould be ready for tapping the end of the year.
To my neighbors and friends I would open my door,
Aud I neTer would forget the cause of the poor.
I'd do all that and more for you, darling honey.
Rut I can't you perceive, just for want of the money.
"Stonewall" .Incltsoii.
Have you ever seen General Jackson ? Many of
your readers, at leapt, have not. lam not much
at pen-and-ink portrait?, but I cannot resist the
temptation lo give you a short and rough sketch
ot the hero of the valley. Imagine then a man
about 5 feet 10 inches high, rather thick set, full
chest, broad, stalwart shoulders, and iudecd the
whole physique indicating what is commonly called a well-made man. He is the picture of henlthi
yet therefappears a redundancy of flesh. His face
is slightly bronzed from the constant exposure o'
hie campaigns. It was said of Caaaat that if he
had not beeu a conqueror, he would have excelled
all bis contemporaries as a boxer or athlete ; and so
I should say of Jackson, he would be a dangorous
antagonist at fisticuff. His appearance at first impress you with the idea of great powers of endurance, strength and elasticity of frame. The expression of his face adds lo, rather thau diminishes
tlio general effect.
There you see eelf-command, perseverance, indomitable wili, that seems neither to too'
think of any earthly obstacle, and all this without
tbe least admixture of vanity, asssuraacy, pride
fool-hardiness, or anything of the kind. There
seems to be no disposition to assert its pretentious,
but from the quiet sense of conviction of his relative position, which sets the vexed question ol
Belf-iimportance at rest; a peculiarity, I would re"
mark, of great minds. Ii is only the little and the
frivolous who are forever obtruding their petty
vanities before the world. His face also expresses
courage in the highest degree, and hiB phrenological developments indicate a vast amount of e.npr
gy and activity.
His forehead is broad and prominent, tho occipital and sincipital regions are both large and well,
balanced; eyes expressing a singular union oi
mildness, energy and concentration ; cheek and
nose both long and well formed. His dress'ia a
common gray suit of faded cassimere, coat, pants
and hat—tbe coat slightly braided on the sleeve,
just enough to be perceptible, the color displaying
the mark of a Major General. Ol his gait itis
sufficient to say that lie just goes about, not a part,
ieleof the strut, the military swagger, turkey-
gobbler parade, so common among officers of small
rank and smaller minds.
It would be a profitable study for some of onr
military swells to devote ono hour each day to tbe
contemplation of tho magnificent plainness of
"Stonewall." To military fame, which they can
never hope to attain, ho unites tho simplicity of a
child, the straight-forwardness of a western farmer. On last Sunday he was dressed as above, and bestrode as common ahorse as one would see in a summer day. There may be those who would be less
sttuck with his appearance, as thus accoutred,
than if bedizzaned with lace, and holding the reins
of a magnificent barb, caparisoned aud harnessed
for glorious war.
Bai to one who had seen him, aa I had, at Gold
Harbor and Malvern Hill, in the rain of shells and
the blaze of the death-lights of the battle-field,
when nothing leas than a mountain would serve as
a breast-work against the P>G-inch shells which
howled and shrieked through tbe sickly air.
General Jacksou in tatters would be the same hero
as General Jackson in gilded uniform. In my
simple view he is a nonpareil—he is without a
peer. He has enough energy to supply a whole
manufacturing district—enough military genius
to stock two or three military schools of the
Of West Point—Savannah Arew3.
" Admission Day."
The occasion which was commemorated in San
Francisco on Tuesday, tbc Oth of September by a
civic procession aud other proceedings appropriate to hollidays1 stands foremost in tbe annals of
California; for on that day twelve years ago (September Dth, 1S50) the Bis'erhood of North American States received a new accession, and tho virgin sovereignty of tbe Pacific was crowned witb
her first laurel wreath. The first meeting of the
Convention of Delegates to frame a State Constitution met on the 1st of SepU-mbcr, 1S49, a little

on tbe 13th of October following, the Constitution
was finished aud the signatures of the delegates

was taken on the Constitution, and it may be noted
an indication of the popularity of the movement, that in Sau Francisco two thousand aud fifty-one voted in favor of the Constitution, and only

How many interesting, thrilling and wonderful

That wis the day of prosperous placer diggings,
e mercantile consignments and enormous fortunes—the day wbich gave to John C. Fremont
and William M. Gwin their seats in the Uuited
States Senate ; which sout poor Gilbert to tbe
lower House of Congress to earn distinctions which,
had his useful life not been untimely cut short by
a weok compliance with a false code of honor,
would have given his name a prominent and an
honored place in the history of that State whose
best interests he had so deeply at heart. Peter H-
Buvnett was selected for the honors of the first
Governorship, and John McDougall took his seat
as Lieut. Governor. On tbe electoral tickets ol
tbat period figured the names of many who have
iince paid the debt of nature—among tbem Gab-
■iel B. Post, who established the first regular line
of packets to the Sandwich Islands, and who was
one of the first of our State Senators—his coadjutor being Nathaniel Bennett. In the Assembly
were William Van Vorhics, Edmund Randolph*
Levi Stowell, J. H. Watson and J. A. Patterson'
Wm. Van Vorbies was likewise Secretary of State
Richard Roman, Treasurer ; S. II. Houston, Controller; Edward J. C. Kewen, Attorney General; S.
C. Hastings, Chief Justice ; Associate Justices, J.
A. Lyon and Nathaniel Bennett. Happy fraternity, to whom was given tbe privilege of loading
off in the political annals of a State, which, unless
tbc " Star of Empire" should go out entirely, must
ere long take rank with tbe most important members of tbe constellation ! To very few is granted
snch an opportunity for distinction, yet cf all
these few now live, for their virtuous or patriotic
deeds, in the memory of the people. Since tha1
era, California bas not only redeemed the country
more than once from threatened bankruptcy, but
has contributed greatly to the wisdom by which
the councils of tbe nation have been directed.—
Twelve years have elapsed since the Constitution
became a law, and to day there is not in the whole
Union a State more loyal or more prosperous, or
more ready to perform lier share in sustaining the
burthens of the Government thau California, the
bright particular Star of the Pacific! If any
ou tutu nena nau ueeu eueuuiageu, tne enthusiasm with which all classes hailed the fesliv-
ties of " inauguration" should suffice to convince
the most skeptical.—San Francisco Sunday Me?"

A Story About General Batter.
A story is told concerning Gen. Bailer which is
not calculated to prove his confidence in the safety
of lhe secession element by which he is surrounded
Some time ago Gen. Butler, Eluding that it wa;
almost impossible to devote to his wife lhe cares
to which she is entitled, resolved to part witb he:
and to send her homeward. Tbe day of departure
arrived, and be went with his wife and his children
to the boat on which they were to embark. Unfortunately lhe water was high and the boat difficult of access. The plank-thrown upon the water between the deck aud the shore formed an acute
angle, and Blondin himself would have found It
difficult to maintain his equilibrium upon it. But
Gen. Butler, confident that his centre of gravity
was sufficiently ponderous to secure him agaiust,
ail accidents, ventured bravely upon the steepy
road. Hardly had he walked two Bteps, however,
than Ms feet glided along and down he went
measuring lho plank with ail his length, and pro
duciug at the same time a noise somewhat similai
to that of au old kettle. His servants ran to his
assistance, and he was soon up again,
When it had been ascertained lhat the general
was unhurt, inquiries were made concerning the
sound of metal heard at the time of his fall. I.
was not long before the mystery was solved. The
clothes of the general having been torn in his peril-
s descent, people saw. protruding underneath
his coat, one large breastplate, reaching from his
neck down to bis thighs. This was the object that
had produced the noise. It was ascertained after-
raids that the general wears this kind ol armor
ince his arrival in Now OrleaoB, and that he nev
r goes out without it,—N. Y. World.

Rest ova tive
Old Servants.—The Rev. Charles Ishara, rector
of Polebrook, Northamptonshire, who died on the
17tli March, 18(J2fat the age of.8*6, (says Notes and
Queries ) had been rector of Polebrook for lbe
unusual loog period of sixty-two years, having
been instituted to tlie living in the year 1S00.
But what makes his case a very remarkable one>
if not altogether unprecedented, is this : His household consisted of a lady housekeeper and Bve indoor servants, and at the time of his death, at
Polebrook Rectory, for the following periods :
lady housekeeper, 23 years; cook, 30| years;
housemaid, 24 years; kitchen maid, 11 years ; butler, 31 years ; coachman, 3i years. Thia remark-
•Mo lict ppaaJco aa maeh for tho Jotc rector of Pole"
brook os it does for his servants ; and in these days
when domestic servants change their "masters and
missuses" as readily as sheep change (heir pasture,
it reads like a record of past days that are never
more to be recalled.
TnE President and His Genekals— A corres
pondent of the Boston Transcript writes from
Washington :
Lincoln declared to ex-Governor Dennison, of
Oliio, that ho wanted those persons who had complained of bim to know that he now leaves everything ofa military nature in the hands ol liis leading General. " I found I must select some one
man,' said the President "to command all the area of the United States, and though it may be
possible that Halleck is not a great General, I
firmly believe he is tbe best I have got." lie
stated, further, in coarse of his conversation, that
Stauton had no more to do with military affairs
than a clerk. He is liko a Secretary of War in
time of peace--he attends to all the duties of his
office, but doee not plan a campaign anywhere."

Sooddy Explained—A London correspondent
of the New Yovk World writes : You havo heard
not a little about" shoddy." Mr. J. Rhodes, of
Merley, near Leeds, England, exhibits in the International Exhibition a compact machine for per.
forming the first process towards converting old
rags into new cloth. The stuff here produced is
called '■ Mango, " a hotter kind of " Devil's dust. "
The fibre of the latter ia extremely short—so Bhort
as to give it the name of dust. The mungo ia larger fibred, It enters largely into the composition of
all the commoner cloths now made io England, and
mungo may be said to bo the principal wear of
seven-tenths of the English people. Anybody who
buys a ten dollar suit buys mungo. Tiie rags being cut in pieces three or four inches frjunre, and

A Hard Litis from a Friend.
The following is from a leader in tbe New York
World of July 12th, on the great battle neat-
Richmond. Tbe World is a leading Republican
paper. Ita comments are as just as they are severe. It say!?:
" We have been outnumbered and overborne. It
ia of no use to blink the fact. The Secretary may
conceal it. The press will not. The Government
has concealed it aa long aa it was able. It has held
tbe endB of the telegraph in its possession. It haa
guarded tbe routes to and from Fortress Monroe.
It haa suppressed the dispatches which gave it full
and reliable information. It promised to communicate the truth, good or evil, to the public whenever it waa sure of the facta. It lias violated its
promise. Its Cabinet officers havo caused falsehoods or statements which suppressed and pervert,
ed the truth to be transmitted over the country,
and, with facts in their possession wbich the people had a right to know; they havo regaled us
with rosy fictions which every private aud truthful report from the seat of war, now at last arrived
by messenger and mail, pronounces a deceit and a
sham."
A Man of Long Prayers.—A lady correspondent of the New York Times recently arrived fron:
Richmond. The Times eays :
Tho lady has often seen Jeff. Davia. For some
months be had his headquarters directly opposite
her residence, across the Green (a narrow park).
She baa been accustomed to hear him at his morn-
and evening devotion. Ho is represented as
a man of many long prayers, which, although they
arc uttered in a loud voice, ahe does not think
that, Pharisee-like, he thus worships to be seen
and heard by men. He is a prominent member of
the Episcopal Church, and aside from the treasonable course which he has pursued in this rebellion, sho regards his daily life as entirely in oc
cordance with the principles of the Christian religion.
Chicago, Oct. 2.—B. F. Hallett, lormely a p
ment Democratic politican, died at his residen
Lowell, Mas., on Tuesday last.
New York, Oct. 2.—An army correspondent
there must bo fighting before many daya in ne
eastern "Virginia, unless the rebels relinquish
position at Winchester, without waiting for ■
thrown down the gauntlet. It is impossible to
sist the army they claim to have there, withou
sessingmore facilities to obtain supplies. Iti;
lieved that it may safely be surmised that they
not stand about Winchester iu force, because of our
threatening attitude.
General T. "W. Sherman, known as Port Royal
Sherman, left yesterday in tho Marion, to sup
sede General Phclpa at New Orlea.is. Genera
Mitchell, whose meteor.like career in Alabama, a
short time ago, attracted the attention of the world,
haa arrived in this city on hia way to supersede Qe_w,
Hunter at Hilton Head. Thus, two men of abolitionist propensities, both of them moro famous for
special anti-slavery proclamations than for the aup
pression ofthe rebelion, will resign tlieir places to
men whose fidelity to the Union as it was, and the
Constitution as it is, is undoubted.
New York, Oct. 3.—A dispatch from tho head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac, the 2d, saya :
President Lincoln arrived at Harper's Ferry on a
special train from Washington yesterday afternoon,
and was escorted by Sumner's Divisiion to headquarters. After a cordial interview with McClellan and Sumner, a brilliant cavalcade, composed of J
tbc Division and Brigade Generals, with the members of their staffs, reviewed Sumner's corps onBol-
var Heights. The troops greeted the President
and General McClellan with great enthusiasm.
This morning he visited Maryland Heights; at
noon rode over to McClellan's headquarters, and
during tbe afternoon he was conducted over the
Antietam battle-field, The President manifested
the greatest interest in all matters concerning ou:
recent victories. In the evening he returned to
McClellan's hcadquartcra. To morrow he will re
view the other troops, and return to Washington on
Saturday.
A Washington letter to the Commercial Adve.
User records several rumors connected with the
President's visit to McClellan; among others that
he in-tends to detach one of tho latte's officers for
important duty—indicating Burnside a3 the person.
