In the course of thrilling eloquent
speech at Cooper Institute, New York city
Thursday evening, October 29tb, Hon,
Schuyler COlfsx made the following aIlu-
sion to our noble President. It will elicit
& cordial response from every truly patri-
otic heart:
He rejOieei that we had such Presi-
dent as we have loud cheers l-as Abrs-
ham Lincoln. The Roman Empire voted
thanks to Varro, because in the darkest
hours he had never despaired Of the Re-
pnblio. And future generations will re-
cord their thanks to Abraham Lincoln,
who in the dark days of the Republic q
year ago, when he had days without sun
shine and nights without q star, quailed
not and did not despair Of the Republic.

The Rmnernr of Frnncn.

The Paris correspondent Of the New
York Herald writes as follows of the per-
sOnal appearance of Napoleon III. at the
late balloon ascension:
HAn hour before the final ascent, the
Emperor drove On to the ground, but
alighted at the entrance to the reserved
places, and walked into the open space
where the balloon was, leaning upon the
arms Of two gentlemen. He wore an or
dinary looking brown overcast, and the
inevitable yellow kids with which he al
Wsys covers his hands. I was within five
feet Of him as he passed, and kept as near
him as propriety and detachment of the
GarGs de Paris, which Immediately gath
ersd about him, would permit me during
the hour ths. he remained on the ground.
Il seemed 10 me that great change for
the worse had come over him within the
last year. His head, which always car
Fiss toward the right side, seemed to in
cline more than ever toward the shoulder,
and his face, always that Of q care-worn
man, seemed to bear more than before the
marks Of physical pain, as well as great
mental anxiety. The Emperor is q very
ungfaceful nan on foot His body is
long but his legs very short, and in walk
ing he has . sliding, crab-like motion
His difficulty is not yet fully developed az
spinal disease but will probably come tO
that he is liable to die at short notice
and then there will probably be q commo-
tion here" s---

Fno,I WASHINGTON.

NABHIN0roNj NOV. u. .
The streets are full Of rumors in regard
to what General Meade intends to accom-
plish in this campaign, most of which are
mere surprises on the part Of those who
circulate them. There seems to be no rea-
son to doubt, however, that this is an
earnest movement, having definite object
which will, in connection with other move
ments Of the Union army, go far towards
establishing the fact that the rebellion is
essentially played out, and so reduce its
territorial possessions as TO deprive it Of
all pretense TO Importance and respectable
ity. A short time now will fully develop
the plan Of the grand campaign just in
sugurated. -.
Special to the world:
General Hinter with considerable Un-
ion force, started or are about to start up
the Peninsula toward Richmond. Il is
stated the artillery roads, constructed un-
der orders of General Mcclellan, are in
superb condition and will greatly facili
tate the movements against the enemy.
The entire army crossed the Rappahan-
mock yesterday without any accident of
Importance. Advices received other ways
in Washington, state that the rebel army
seems to be moving toward the Rapidsn,
as yet taking no position for accepting
battle. Our troops command all roads ap-
preaching Fredericksburg from the North
vest while some of them hold the town
and Falmouth to-day. ..
Times despatch:
Later officers from the front this morn
ing, say Culpepper is occupied by our
troops, and our cavalry had reconnoitered
as far as the Rspidan without meeting
rebels in any considerable force. The i'm
preston among military men, is that Lees
entire force is in full retreat for Richmond,
and that it will make no effort to retard
our advance this side the fortifertions of
that city.
LATER.
A despatch to night from the front, saws
heavy cavalry skirmishing was going on
all the afternoon Southwest of Culpepper,
toward Madison Court House. The only
rebel force this side of the Rapidan is Stu
arts cavalry, who are covering the rebel
retreat.

Just on the eve Of the late election, JO-
seph Stewart, Esq, citizen Of Baltimore,
spoke st an unconditional Union and
Emancipation meeting in that city. As a
sample Of the spirit psrVading the loyal
citizens Of Maryland, and the doctrines
upon which they boldly went to the polls
and triumphed, we give the following brief
extract from his speech. This, in Mary
land. It is most encouraging. Does not
the world mover Said he;
Wesre for the Union uneORditiOH9lly, be-
IieYing the preservation Of our National
integrity Of TIE utmost importance.
We are for the suppression Of the rebel
lion, and indorse the policy adopted by the
Administration for its suppression.
We believe this war to have been caused
by slavery, and to be carried on in the in
terest Of slavery, and that any terms Of
peace which look to the perpetuation Of
slavery viii prove but hollow truce.
Wesrs, therefore, for emancipation.
Slavery is the cornerstone Of the new
government with which the oligarchs of
the South would supplant the Government
Of our Fathers, and the rebellion is
strongest where slavery is strongest. In
our own State the siaveholdiDg counties
are most deeply imbued with the spirit Of
rebellion. The rebellion is but slavery
organized, and every blow ST. uck at slav-
cry Injuries both. They stand or fall to-
gether.
Emancipation is the means whereby
freedom, the antagonist of slavery, strikes
down the power Whish sustsins the rebel
lion.
Had all the States been free States, We
should have had no civil war, and the sur
sst way TO end the war is to remove the
cause of il. -
Let US begin with ourselves. Let US
emaneipate first our minds from the polit-
cal thrsldom Of the accursed institution
which is making war upon us, and upon
all free government, and then legally
emsncipRte the State from its presence by
calling a Convention to remodel the Con-
stitutiOn.
This will improve the value of our
lands; it will dignity labor; it will invite
large investments of capital in manulac-
lures and internal Improvements; it will
destroy privileged classes; it will relieve
our statute books Of anomalous laws pass
ed for the protection Of slavery; our
Courts from the expensive administration
Of said laws, and our county jails from be-
ing negro boarding houses. A white man
may then seek information from any book
he pleases without fear Of Incarceration in
the penitentiRry.
