to the Committee, that their hand should
never falter, and never let an enemy escape
Only by putting the irrevocable penalty Of
death on every attempt to discover their
identity, and inhicting that penalty without
moments hesitation could they have kept
their mystery concealed so long. Only by
allowing no offence against their DEGREES,
no negl lect of their instructions to pass unno
tced and unpunished, could they have made
themselves so terrible and so feared that
neither Pole nor Russian dare to disobev; that
their slightest command is compiled with as
no despots orders ever were before, and even
the Grand Duke Constantine has been asses
sed by this Government, and forced to pay
in his own city, taxes to the very Govern
ment which he is there to subdue by all the
the rigors of military barbrrism.
Indeed, every action of every official of
the Russian Government in Warsaw, seems
to be known to the secret government,
whose spies must be in every Department of
the Russian Administration, to make such
minute and speedy reports. Thirty two
hundred thousand rubles vanished from the
Government Treasury in Warsaw, and when
on investigator was ordered, four department
atficers We're found missing, and receipt
from the secret government for the full
amount was found on the floor of the vault
A county squire who had been playin. the
spy for the Russians was condemned bv the
National Committee to receive . hundred
Iashes, of which fifty were given him by
four masked persons with the Instruction to
report to the Mayor rs soon as he felt strong
enough to receive the rest. lie did report;
for had he not done so, or had he endeavor'
ed to make the matter known to the police,
he knew it would only have resulted in bis
losing his life.
At a festival in Warsaw, band of musi
clans performed some dances and lively airs,
whan young man brought in a letter to
the director and left. The director opened
the note, and read it, and refused to touch
The instrument again. The music was stop
ped and nothing could induce the musicians
to commence again.
Since writing the above the European
mails have brought us news Of the first seri-
Gus reverse which has happened to the Sc
cre government. Three of its agents, com
missNned to intlict sentence of death upon
the Russian police officer Frtche, were caught
in the act, and their arrest had led to the
discovery of one Of the members of the Gov.
ernment who has ordered the deed.

GANGRENE AND OxYGEN-A remarkable
instance of the advantage which medical
men may derive from chemistry, has been
published in the reports Of the Hospital Ho'
tel Dieu, at Paris A young student wrote
a thesis in which he showed that gangrens
and deficiency of oxygen were to be regarded
as cause and effect. DR.. Laugler, surgeon
in-chief of the hospital, having u case Of
spontaneous gangrene under his care, pro-
ceeded to test the theory The patient a
man seventy.ive years of age, had the disease
in one foot. one toe was mortified, and the
whole member was in danger. The diseased
part was enclosed in an apparatus conlrived
to disengage oxygen continuously, and in
short time the gangrene was arrested, and
the foot recovered its healthy condition. A
similar experiment tried upon another pa
tient, equally aged, was equally successful,
from which the inference, follows that treat
ment with oxygen is an eifec,uaI remedy for
disease which too often nfests hospitals.

Marriage in Persia.

When poor man has pretty daughter
about eleven or twelve years old-the age at
which Persian ladies are supposed to have
matrimonial views-a marriage broker waits
upon him and cndeavors to strike bargain
for her. The broker, generally a moolah or
priest, will, perhaps, offer from two to four
hundred tomauns, or say from five hundred
to a thousand dollars American money as a
fair price for Young lady. The bargain
completed, the girl probably becomes the
wife of some khan, rich enough to afford
himself such luxury, and to give the brok'
er "a handsome profit on the transaction. 1t
is usually all Il matter of business, and a
man posting up his accounts at the end of
the year nigh. note down that on such a
day he bought lady, pretty much AS if he
had purchased fine Turcoman horse or an
English rifle; only the price of the latter
two articles would be considerably higher
than the first. 1t is seldom that either of
the parties have seen each other, so that lly
lifting Of the veil upon the wedding dae
may be a delightful surprise, or a glum dis
appointment, according to circumstances.
One of the first visits she rece YES after
neT marriage Will NloSI pIoUaOly Oe from
her father, who will tell her that her
home is cold and cheerless since she
has left it, and that her mother is get
ting old. The pathetic appeal is sure to
touch her heart and she will employ the
first money she can coax out of her husband
to buy her father a new wife, All Persia
seems fairly mad according to our northern
notions. A beggar asking for aims in the
street will found his strongest claims to your
charity on the startling fact that he has five
wives at home, and has nst married young
one You take servant from rags and
hunger, and he spends the first few tomauns
he can scrape together in your service in
buying bran new wife. But the eldest.
or first married wife, is usually house keeper
and mistress She even distributes food to
the rest, who hold her in much respect and
some awe. The number Of marriages is
undoubtedly increased by the strange con
ditions under which some of them take
place. marriage contract is seldom in,
tended to last the life of either party. A
lady may be taken on lease like house, for
a definite period; and this species of matr,
money is much encouraged by the moolahs,
who derive liberal fees from it,

WE'VE ALL OUR ANGEL SIDE.

The huge rough stone from out the mine,
Unsightly and unflir,
Has veins of purest metal hid
Beneath its surface there.
Few rocks so bare but to their nights
Some tiny moss plant clings,
And round the peaks so desolate,
The sea-bird sits and sings.
Believe me, too, that rugged souls
Beneath their ruleness hide
Much that is beautiful and good
We've all our angel side.
In all there is an inner depth,
A far off secret way,
Where through the windows of the soul,
God sends his smiling ray.
In every human heart there is
A faithful sounding chord
That may be struck unknown to US,
By some sweet loving word.
The wayward soul in man may try
Its softer thoughts to hide;
Some unexpected tone reveals
1t hath an angel side.
Despised and lone, and trodden down,
Dark with the shade of sin,
Decipherng not these halo lights
Which God hath lit within;
Cropping about in utmost night,
Poor poisoned souls they are,
Who guess not what liie's meaning Is,
Nor dream Of heaven aiar.
Oh, that some gentle hand of love
Their wayward steps would guide,
And show them that, amidst it oil,
Life hath its angel side.
Brutal and mean, and dark enough,
God knows some natures are,
But lie compassionate comes near,
And shall we stand afar?
Our kruise of oil will not grow less,
If shared with hearty hand;
For words Of peace and deeds Of love
Few natures can withstand.
Love is the mighty conqueror,
Love is the beauteous guide,
Love with her beaming eyes can see
We've all our angel side.

The "1RoNsIDEs" AND HER CHARLESTON
EXPERIANCE.- A letter from our fleet off
Charleston harbour thus describes their
leader, the lronsdes and her experiences -
"She is undoubtedly the best and most
powerful armed vessel that has been con-
structed. In all her service here not a man
has been killed or wounded by the enemy on
board of her, notwithstanding she has been
under the concentrated fire of the rebel
batteries at 1900 yards distance. From stem
to stern she bears the scars aud deep indenia-
tons of the enemys balls but yet her defensive
strength is uninjured, whilst her defensive
powers has increased through practice and
the perfect safety the crew feel when she is
In fighting trim. Each broadside of the Iron
sides consists of l1-inch Dahlgren guns and
one 200 FOUNDER rife Parrot The weight of
metal thrown by her at one broadside fire is
within a fractron of 1900 pounds, or 5000
for both broadsides. No vessel that has ever
been in action has ever thrown an equal
weight of metal, and it is yet be proved
that the armament of the Ironsides has not
reached the extreme range to which the cali
bre of guns can be taken without distract
ing from tbeirseryiceabenes and capabilities
for active firing"

PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio Elections.

The elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio take
place to. day. There have been times in the
history of the country when an Importance
has been attached to elections in each of these
States, that it would seem could not be ipten-
sified, but never did such important interests
hang upon the result of these elections as to-
day. The Union State Committee in Penn
b sylvania, have made as accurate canvass as
Is possible, under the circumstances, by which
Curtin's majority is estimated at about 2OOCC'
In this State the returns gave much greater
{ aggregate Union majority than the canvass.
Several leading democrats in that State have
lately come to the support Of Curtin, among
whom are, Ex-Vice President Dallas, and Col.
Biddle, leading Breckenridge man. There
can be little doubt but that the Union MAORI
ty in Pennsylvania will exceed 10000.
In Ohio we consider it a settled question
. 1t not for the soldiers vote, we might have
some doubt, although sanguine politicians have
estimated the majority for Brough at $4,000
without the soldiers vote. But our hope is in
abe soldier. Three-quarters, at least, Of those
who have seen service, who have met secession
face to face, will vote to sustain the Union.
There is no influence that can be brought to
bear upon them to induce them to vote for
that willy traitor, vallandigham. They despise
him and all others Of his stripe. We shall re-
ceive sufficient returns for to-morrow's issue
TO indicate how these States have gone, al
though it will require weeks to get the full
returns from the army.

New YORK, Oct. L.
Zen. Meredith has succeeded in effectino
the release Of all the chaplains of the Union
army now held as prisoners Of war by the
rebels.
Rumors again fly thick and fast regarding
retrograde movements OF Lees army and the
advance OF Gen. Meade's army. or the first
nothing definite is known, and of the last
nothing definite can be said
Gold is accommodating fast in the Treasury,
ana VIII be kept there until specie payments
are resumed, except at the recurring periods
OF the payment of interest on the public debts
The Worlds Washington dispatch says in
telligence OF an authentic character did not
reach Washington till last night that the rebels
had abandoned the line OF the Rapidan and
retreated In southwark direction. On the
TACT being known at Gen. Meade's headauar-
tiers yesterday morning, Gen. Buford's cavalry
were sent across the Rapidan and found that
the enemy's evacuation of the south bank had
been completed. On proceeding inland they
came upon portion of Stuart's cavalry, evil
IDENTIFY covering the retreat of the rebel in
fantry. Considerable of skirmish ensned
but 1t did not result in our ascertaining wheth-
er the enemy had fallen back on Gordonsville
or whether it was attempting some flank
movement to get between Gen. Meade's army
and Washington, in similar manner to
Stonewall Jackson's movement on Gen. Pope
over the same ground. The prevailing i'm
preston seems to be that the rebels have gone
to Gordonsvie or Richmond, where sufficient
garrisons may be left and the remainder of
Lees army sent to reinforce Bragg and
Beauregard. II, on the contrary, the enemy
are attempting flank movement. it is ONLY
proper to add that our forces are fully pre-
pared for them.
