Emperor Alexander Of Russia has just
signalized his reign by new reformstOry
act Of the highest impOrtaHcs-sn act
which, in its bearing upon the progress Of
Russia, can be only compared with the
Ordinance Of Emancipation, and which
will secure to Alexander in Russian histO-
ry place by the side of Peter the Great
as among the most illustriOus rulers Of the
nation. He has convoked the Diet Of the
Grand Duchy of Finland, and opened it
personally with q speech, which expresses
his confidence in liberal form Of govern
ment, and intimstes his design to develop
liberal institutions first in Finland, and
later in other parts Of the Empire. The
convocation of Representative Assembly
in Russian Crown land, and still more
the tenor of the Imperial address, may be
regarded as proofs that the era Of absO-
lutism is on the wane in Russia, and that
the largest Christian Empire of the world
may ere long be converted into q constitu-
tional monarchy.

Worlds special:
| The Chronicle announces that General
Meade says our army cannot move for
three weeks on account of the destruction
of the railroad.
LATER.-Gen. Meade, not being able to
get through his business with the Presi-
dent in time, did not return to the front
till this morning. 1t is authoratively
settled that he is not to be superseded.
The story in the Richmond papers, of
the 2lst that Lee has taken 1000 prison
ers from Meade in the late campaign, is
entirely mythical.
Herald's dispatches:
1t is said that Gen. Meade made frank
statement concerning the peremptory in
struotions lately received by him to compel
Gen. Lee to accept fight, which, not hav-
ing been able to carry out to the letter, he
declared himself willing and ready to re-
sign his command. The President declined
to entertain any such proposition, and Gen
| eral Meade has gone back to his post.
1t is rumored that Gen. Lee has sent
two more divisions to support Bragg, and
that he is Withdrawing the rest of his
forces behind the forti6cations at Freder-
icksburg.
General Gregg's cavalry advanced on
reconnaissance yesterday within two miles
Of the Rappahannock, and returned to
camp without finding the enemy.
Last night a brisk fight was had with
Mosby's guerrillas, in Fairfax county, in
which several were killed and a number
taken prisoners. Among the latter is Jack
Barnes, a notorious scoundrel who has
been three times in our hands and released
upon taking the oath of alleg ance.
The Times special dispatch dated Wash.
ington, October 23d says It is now posi-
lively ascertained that portion Of Ewelrs
corps has been dispatched from Gordons-
vile by rail to resist the advance Of Burn
side toward Lynchburg.
The reported advance of our forces to-
ward Richmond, on the Peninsula, is, Of
course, false. 1t should be borne in mind
that Burnside has large force of mount
ed infantry engaged in destroying the
main rebel railroad communication with
the Southwest No apprehensions are felt
for Burnside's safety. ......

ACCIDENT or TRAGEDY AT Mr.. VERNON.
Ed. LEADER: Either sad accident or
terrible tragedy occurred here last evening.
The Deputy Postmaster, Mr.. James Pyle,
was found dead in his room, shortly after
eight o'clock, shot through the heart. Mr..
Pyle was young man, universally beloved,
and of rare promise. He was of cheerful
disposition, and none of his friends we're
aware of any mental trouble that would in
duce suicide. He was alone at the time pre-
pairing fOran evening party. When found he
was lying with his face upon the floor, and
his vest and coat nearby. he hadpurchassd
a pistol a few days before, and it may have
been accidentally discharged. But if the
act was intentional, we can but commiserats
the sorroWs whieh induced the fatal deed.
Beneath many e smiling face are seas of
trouble. We know not how bravely mary an
unfortunate has borne up through years of
mental anguish to die at last by his own
hand. Pity for such is preferable to cold
condemnation. "D."

CoIored EniIsrmcnts In Maryland.


A second deputstiOn Of Shareholders
from Maryland waited upon the President
lately, for the purpose Of urging him to
put stop to the enlistment Of eolored
men, bond and free, into the service of
the United States. They declared that the
colored companies engaged in recruiting
disturbed the quiet Of Well-Ordered plan
tations, and deprived them of labors ne
cessary to the gathering in of the hsrvests
The President is reported to have replied,
in substance, that if the recruiting squads
did not conduct themselves properly, their
places should be supplied by others, but
that the orders under which the enlist
ments were being made could not be re-
vOked, since the country needed able-bo-
died soldiers and was not squesmish as to
their complexion.

TIE ADVENT OF WINTER.-The dUaRt-
courier of December came this morning post
haste from the Bereal regions. Snow, YER
liable, indulitnble snOW,-came futtering
down, white and festhery, in the early
morning, to-day. 1t was the herald and
prophet of winter. 1t foretold fierce blasts,
hesped drifts, the night air crowded with
thick fakes. 1t promised Thanksgiving
dinner, merry Christmas Ere, the coming
of the chiIdren's divinity, St. Nicholas. It
talked Of sleighing and skating and of all
the merriment that winter was to bring

Aeross the Rnpruhnnuaeh.

Telegrsphic dispatches inform us that
Lees army falling back is aogess the Rap
pshsnnock. Various reasons for this
movement are assigned. One is lack of
suprles-anOther is being strategicaIly
foiled by Mesde-snother is, and more
likely the correct one, purpose to send
large rsinfOrosments to Bragg. Meade is
reported to hsve followed him vigorously.
But will he follow him across the Rsppa-
hammock !? President Lincoln is reported
to have ordered Meade to find and fight
the enemy at once; that if he won q victo-
y, he should have sIl The glory; but if he
were defested, he, himself, as Commander
in-Chisf, would assume the responsibility
Such words ring. They are inspiring. If
Meade has received such orders, he will
be soon, or is already south Of the Rap
PahsnnOck, and will defeat Lees purpose
Of reinforcing Bragg. We may reasons
ably expect to hear that Lee has met with
trouble from Meade's advancing columns.

A CLEvELAKDER ROBBED IN New LIS
BoS-LosEs GOLD WATCH AND 81, ,2OO-We
find the following in the New Lisbon Buck
eye State:
"0n Friday night last the bed rooms of
two Of the guests Of the Scott House, in New
Lisbon, were burglariously entered By means
Of nippers, turning the key of the door from
the outside. One COON was occupied by Mr..
Solomons, Of Cleveland, who had retired
about nine o'clock, and from him was stolen
a gold watch and twelve hundred dollars in
money.
" The other room was occupied by young
man from Cincinnati, and fifteen dollars was
taken from his vest pocket, port monte from
his pants pocket, and cigar case from his
coat pocket. Fortunately for him most of
his money was in belt around his person.
The thief had evidently administered chlor-
Oform to Mr.. SOIomons, as he is easily awak-
ened, and yet he heard nothing of the move
ments Of the robber in his room. Several
other doors were tried, and another bed
room was entered, but from it the thief OBJ
tanned nothing for his pains"
