dent in Berlin, dned together in that CITY a
few DAYS before the departure OF the America.
at Arnim's Hotel, to celebrate their natlonat
custom of the harvest home, or autumnal least
The following account of the proceedings is
condensation of an arnpler report which has
been received:
"The first toast was, the ' Health of the
President and his representative at Berlin. .
Mr. Judd, the American Minister, rcphed, ana
after describing under what circumstances me
custom was usually observed, alluded to the
changed position of affairs at the present day.
The conflict now raging in America was, ne
said, of the highest importance, not only tor
that country, but for the world, as on the IS
sue depended the complete freedom of the citi-
zens and the Union of the States Mr.. Judd
then expressed his unshakeable confidence
that the result would be the complete abo-
don of Slavery, which was the Inheritance OF
England, and an increase of the power of the
Union.
In the course of his speech his Excellency
expressed the opinion that the recent affair
respecting the English mail boat, would not
oblige England to take warlike measures
Another toast, proposed by DR.. Harding, of
Illinois, was-''Our glorious ad. the heroes
of our second war of Independence" 1t was
replied to by the Secretary of the American
Embassy, Mr.. Keeismann, who spoke for the
army and navy, and made a great impression
upon his hearers. Half million volunteers
had, he said, sprung from the ground, and $40
armed vessels, created as if by magic, dis
played the banner OF the Stars on every Sea
not for the purpose of conquest, ambition, or
self-interest but to restore the blessing which
the American Constitution made common
property-fieedom of the person, security OF
property, and the pursuit of happiness
The Health of Gen. Scott, was the last OF the
official toasts. The meeting became very ami
mated after this, and several volunteer toaSts
were proposed, amongst which was one by
Mr.. Longtellow, the brother Of the poet, who
gave The Literature of America"
The guests, SO closes the account, seemed
so pleased at last that, although ladies we're
present, they relaxed the severity of the Gus
tom on such occasion, and here and there the
smoke Of a Havana cigar was seen gracefully
ascending"

EASTERN NEWS.

There has been nothing of particular in
terest from the theater of war within the
last week. Gen. Burnside has divided the
army Of the Potomac into three grand di.
visions, commanded respectively by Hooker,
Sumner and Franklin. Sumner has gone in
the direction of Fredricksburgh, on the
Rappahannock, and the telegraph says that
city is to be made the base of operations for
the advance against Richmond. Stonewall
jackson is represented as Withdrawing his
army from the valley of Shenandoah toward
Richmond; but as usual little seems to be
known of rebel movements. The advance
of our army is considered as certain to bring
the opposing forces in collision soon. and
severe fighting may be looked for at any
moment.
At the West armies are moving, but seril
Gus fighting is not regarded as imminent for
some days.
A large land and naval force is being orr
ganized at Columbus, KY, for a descent
upon vicksburg, in order to open the Mis-
sissippi river.
Courts Of Inquiry are in session at Wash
ington, to investigate the charges against
Gems. Mcdowell and Fitz John Porter.
