Manhattan's Last Screech through the War

Trumpet.

LINCOLN'S LITTLE GAME-AGAIN A LOSING ONE!

There has been a battle upon the Rapidan by a
portion of the forces of General Lee. Meade's men
were terribly beaten, and the slaughter was awful.
Some say 1,200 killed, 1,800 wounded, and 1,500
prisoners; yet read how mild and mealy is the
Government dispatch
"It appears that one of General Kilpatrick's cavalry
brigades attempted a reconnaissance on the south side of
Robertson's River, when they were met by a large body of
Stuart's rebel cavalry. A fight ensued, continuing an hour,
when our troops fell back upon the infantry reserves, After
another severe contest the infantry were compelled to give
way, and a considerable number of them were captured."

A person might read a week before he discovered
that such a mild description related to a bloody
battle, where our troops were cat to pieces twice,
both cavalry and infantry. It is on a par with a
recent dispatch of Rosencranz, who closes his account
of the bloody battle in which he was defeated near
Chattanooga with " Our loss is severe, but the re-
sult is commensurate," which probably means gram-
matically that the result is also severe.

M'CLELLAN BONNETTED (A LA PEEL) BY MANHATTAN.

General M'Clellan has happily ruined himself
politically. The letters relating to the arrest of
the Maryland Legislature have all been published.
A knowing fly, it he were to get it into one of the
ears of the second Emperor Napoleon, could destroy
the French empire ; so a very little cause has upset
the prospects of Napoleon M'Clellan. " Oh, my
Maryland !" Who that loves liberty (I confess that
privately I think Liberty an intense humbug) can
read those accounts of arrests without weepieg.
Nothing like it ever occurred in the most tyranni-
cal days of English history, A whole Legislature
bagged like a flock of pigeons, and this great feat
was performed by the celebrated General M'Clellan,
after consulting with the Secietary of State. If Mac
had displayed half as much cleverness when he was
absolute commander of 650,009 men—brave, gal-
lant men (400,00 of whom, owing to his cursed
cowardice, ignorance, or something worse, are now
manuring and fertilising Virginian farms), this
war would have been settled long ago. I have said
long ago that this M'Clellan would be used' up po-
litically as he is in a military point of view. Where
is he now

" FIFTY YEARS AND EUROPE WILL BE EITHER
REPUBLICAN OR COSSACK," said Napoleon the
Great. Now it seems to be America's turd
(according to Manhattan), and Republicans are

turning Cossacks.
"We are rapidly Russianising. Last night a
grand dinner was given to the Russian admiral and
the rest of the set by our wealthy citizens connected
with commerce. It was got up regardless of ex-
pense. Horace Greely was present, and being par-
tially intoxicated, gave the toast " Dear Woman,"
but Mayor Opdyke made all right by the following
stupifying toast, " The City of New York. With
her left hand she grasps the harvest of the West,
and with her eight she weds the everlasting sea."
These things are harmless, for they pass away,
but not so the names of our children. Since
these Russians arrived in the harbour of New
York over 2,000 innocent children have been born.
Of course, the Russians had nothing to do with the
fact, but twenty years hence what will posterity
think of the morality of 1863 P These children
are not named Charles, Henry, Robert
James, Joseph, William, Rufus, George, . and
such good names, but instead of them, hundreds
are being christened weekly Botokoff Jones,
Ostensacken Smith, Basic Johnson, Ivan Miller,
Osliba Jackson, Emperor Alexander Taylor, Czar
Wilson, Liscoski King, and Stockel Brady. Then,
again, all the names of articles have changed.
They, too, are Russianised as well as our babies.
We have advertised Cossack pistols, Novgorod
garters, Grand Duke boots, Muscovite shirts, Mos.
COW pantaloons, Kremlin vests, Catherine crinolines,
GortschEkoff writing paper, and Petersburg over-
coats. Then, too, the gunpowder that is wasted in
firing salutes to the Russians ! If placed under
France, it would blow the Einperor a song distance
in the direction of the moon. Even the. pavement
in Broadway, called the Russ pavement, is now
claimed as a Russian article, although many in Lon-
don know that it was laid down by my old but now
dead friend Horace P. Russ, who was a Nova Sco-
tian and not a Russian. Last night the inventive
Stetson thought to compliment the Emperor of
Russia, and so had as a principal dish—Charlotte
R lase.

Two SKITTISH YOUNG ELEPHAN TS.—Thtl
Museum of Natural History in Paris received on Tuesday
last a male and female elephant about a year old, and a male
and female cameleopard, IS months old, sent as a present to
the Emperor by the Viceroy of Egypt. The catneleopards
are very tall, and the coat of the female is grayer than that
of the male, which is a bright bay. They are both re-
markably tame. The elephants are not taller than young
asses, but they are as lively and playful as kittens. They
gallop and strike each other with their trunks, and when
tired they lie down beside each other. The Museum of
Paris now possesses five elephants.
LOOK OUT !—A remarkable American book,
called el Louis Napoleon, the Destined Monarch ot
the World," propounds the theory that
the personal Antihe
-
christ is none other than the present Emperor of t
French. The cover of the book 'is adorned with a
most captivating picture of the seven-headed and ten-hot ned
beast which
Doth bestride the narrow world

Like a Colossus—
',a ving one foot on Europe and another on America. Six of
the beast's heads aro of a wolfish type, but the seventh has
hair and moustaches, and those "pale, corpse-like, imper-
turbable features" which we all know. The contents of the
volume are sufficiently mysterious and terrible to fulfil
the promise of its outside. It announces that Louis Napo-
leon will very st.on acquire supreme ascendancy over the
whole of Christendom, " and for three. and-a-half years will
ruthlessly slay nearly every one who will not acknowledge
him to be God." The whole of this tremendous drama is
to be completed by the year 1870, when its hero is to perish
at the battle of Armageddon; and therefore it may be ex-
pected that the performance wilt very 80031 begin,

The Prince and Princess of Wales.

SANDRINGHAM, Oct. 26.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Prince and Princess Christian of Den-
mark, and the Princess Dagmar, attended Divine
service yesterday morning at the Sandringham
Church ; the Rev. G. B. Moson, the rector, officiated,
assisted by another clerg3 man. The ladies and
gentlemen in attendance were—the Countess of
Morton, the Countess Reventlow, Lient.-General
Knollys, Captain Grey, Captain Castenskjoid, and
Mr. Fisher,

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and
Prince Christian of Denmirk, attended by Captain
Grey and Captain Cdstenskjold, proceeded to Hulk-
ham this morning for a day's shooting with the
Earl of Leicester.

It is understood that his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales and his Royal Highness the Prince

Foreign Courts.

PARIS, Oct. 25.

The Empress of the French, on the day after her
arrival in Madrid, went to see her mother, the
Countess of Montijo, and remained with her for
some time. In the evening the Empress went with
the Queen in great State to witness the represen-
tation of " Semiramide." Her Imperial Majesty
sat between the Queen and the King, whilst
at the sides were the Infantes Don Francisco and
Don Sebastien, and the Princess Anna Murat. Be-
hind them were the grand officers of the palace and
the Empress's suite. The appearance of the theatre
was magnificent, all the boxes being occupied by
the Ministers of the Crown, the members of the
diplomatic corps, the great functionaries, all in full
uniform, and the ladies of the Spanish aristo-
cracy. A curious particularity is related, as at-
tendant on the Empress taking possession of
her apartments in the palace. An old custom of
etiquette requires that, when a foreign crowned
head sleeps in the palace, a gold key should be pre-
sented on a cushion to the visitor. That ceremony
was duly gone through by M. Onato, one of the
grand.offieers of the palace. The telegraphic de-
spatch of the Emperor Napoleon to the Empress,
when he heard of the invitation given by the Queen of
Spain, was worded as follows :—" Mr. Barrot
informs me that the Queen of Spain in-
vites the Countess de Pierrefond to visit Madrid.
recommend the countess to accept such an
amiable invitation." The general expectation is that
the Empress will prolong her stay in the Spanish
capital for two or three days, in order to show the
satisfaction she feels at the reception given to her
by Queen Isabella.
Baron de Mslaret, appointed French Minister at
Turin, has arrived in Paris. He is about to return
to Brussels to present his letters of recall.
The Brussels journals state that the King of the
Belgians, who continues i❑ the enjoyment of excel-
lent health, will remain at his villa on the Lake of
Como to the end of the week.

The Court will return to Windsor from Scotland
to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected
at Windsor to spend the birthday of his Royal Highness,
on the 9th of November.

Oa the Bth of September, the anniversary of the
betrothal of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Prince gave a beautiful present to her Royal Highness—a
bracelet, set with d iamonds and rubies, enamelled in Danish
colours, and introducing his own portrait. The monogram,
surmounted by the coronet of the Princess, is most taste-
fully arranged, and the bracelet is altogether of a very
novel and chaste work. The design was by the Prince.—

REMARKABLE
SPEECH OF THE
KING OF DEN-
MARE"..--A • ccording to the Aftotabladet, of Stock-
holm, the
Ring of Denmark has just delivered the fol-
lowing speech I have every confidence in the victory
and the justice of our cause. I know that my faithful
Schleswigers are Danish at heart, and that it would be a
crime against them to consent to divide Schleswig.
History shall not tell that the last of the Oldenbourga
parcelled out Denmark. If, however, in the course of time
we must succumb as being the weakest, and France and
Sweden permit the most southern province of Scandinavia,
the old Jutland of the south, to share Um fate of Galicia,
of Poland, and of Northern Italy, by being overpowered
and suppressed by German Governments, then I will
descend from the throne and wiil proclaim the republic. I
passed three years of my youth in Switzerland ; and I have
studied the laws and institutions of that country, and I am
convinced that no people of Europe is more fitted for the
Republican system than my dear Danish people.",
