Army KadfcnlfSFl1.

The. St Louis Democrat contained an inter-
csting account OF celebration In that city
Of the battle md victory Of Pea Ridge,
whence We quote rs follows: g . :,
Gen. Mcneil responded and in the course
Of his remarks said that hereafter the elective
franchise should be extended to all who fight
for the country, without reg .rd to nationality
or color. [Gens. Gray and Rosecrans-'that's
right; that's right The foreigners among
us who, in the hour OF the countrY's peril,
took out their exemption papers on the plea
of aliennge, should never be allowed to cast
vote at any election.
Gen. Rosecrans said he fully concurred in
wLnt had been said about black soldiers.
"Geu., Mcneil has told yon that he thought
that every: black man who fought for The
country should. have vote; SO do l. SO do
l." He said he had q, black man
as his servant (samuel Marshal,) who
had Won biz freedom By fighting for the
So We have the example Of the South itself
In freeing slaTcs who fight for the country.
Gen. Rosecrans gave his views Of a, recon
strnction Of the Union he says that when
ever State passes an act renoancing Its alle
glance to the Government, we are obliged to
recognize it rs the act of the State-that 1t
has abdicatcd-and NO two hundred men In
such State can act for the whole. The tpeo-
pie still remain citizens Of the United States,
and are to be governed as citizens Of Terri
tory until there is loyal population Fnth-
cient to form State, and be readmitted into
the Union. .'sI am not In ftyor Of a central
dcspotism, but Of the unity Of the nation and
the maintenance Of the General Government
When citizen wants to expatriate himself,
he can do go by the consent Of the sovereign.
want Congress to pass an act to alloT1 any
citizen to expatriate himself. and to declare
its aesent to such e1patriation. such citizen
never more to vote until re.natura1ized.
The General spoke In glowing terms Of the
conduct ofthe Missouri troops In the Army
Of the Cumberland, frequently appealing to
Colonel Conrad and other officers to verify his
statements. The army Of the Cumberland
crossed the. Alps Of Tennessee, but did nosr
find the river Pc or the fertile plains Of Italy
to biyouac upon. Previous to the battle Of
Chiclamauga, he telegraphed to Gen. Halleck
to know whether my portion of the rebel ar
my Of Virginia had been sent southWard, and
Gen, Hallsck replied that no troops Of Lees
army had been sent in that direction e1cepta
few regiments to: Char1estonl ECrtes of
SAamcl Shame! from the officers In con-
sequence OF this false Information, the Army
of: the Cumberland encountered superior
numbers; for Longstreet, from Lees army,
was there with over twenty Thousand men,
and the whole force Of tho enemy was lat
least nfnety-three thousand, while the Union
force was not more than f1fty-fve Thousand.
Still. the ARMY Of the Cumberland held its
ground, and the position taken ia still main.

An Enra.ed Acsrrs. attthe Academy OF
Music.

Last evening there was no performance at
the Academy Of Music, which was quite a
disappointment to the admirers Of the opera.
Mile. Vestvnli was to appear, bnt at a, late
hour yesterday afternoon 1t was announced
that owing to severe lndfsposition under
which she 'Yas lahoring there would be no
performance. OF course there was q great
enquiry as to the cause, etc, and several sto-
ries were soon In circulation. The true
cause appears to be as follows: It appears
that Oh Wednesday evening, during the per-
formance Of the stDu6e's Motto" In which
Eestvali sustains the character Of Capt De
Lagndere, two gentlemen ono Of whom Is
said to be, 8 dry goods merchant In Fulton
street, and the other merchant doing busf-
ness in New York, obtained admission to the
stage. When VestvaH came Of: af1er sing
ing one Of the songs, they, ,were standing at
the wings, and tbe'dry goods merchant; lay
Ing bis hand upon the her In familiar man
ner, made use OF On Objectionable remark,
which aroused the Ire Of the lady, md she
inquired If he knew whom he was address
Ing. The gentleman repeated the remark,
when Vestval drew the sword, which she
had worn on the stage, and made m attack
upon the merchant, cutting him quite Sc
vcrely before he managed to make his escape
Testvali then turned to 6ubdue his compan-
Ion but not willing to share the same fate as
the merchant he skedaddled. The high
state Of excitement into which Vestvall was
Was worked up has thrown her into nerv.
ous fever. This It apr ears ~ the true cause
Of the non.appearance Of the hdy.-N> ?.

whether she can move from her anchorage If

Florida, and have even volunteered to cut
her out ut night with boats, Us could be done
but for our amicnble relations with Portugal.
In reply to the relnonst1ances Of our Minister
at Lisbon, the home government issued
stringent orders to nll their island governors
to prevent the violation Of the neutrality Of

A Sensible moye.

On Saturday evening last the Centralia Dl-
vision Of the " Brotherhood Of the Foot
board" met and resolved, as other divisions
had faltered in sustaining tile engineers on
the Galcna and Chicago Unien railroad, that
the charter and ritual Of their Divisionshould
be returned to the Grand Division, and they
would Ignore any connection with the Or
ganixationi that the Superintendent Of the
Illinois Central Railroad merited theirfulles
confidence; and that the money In the treas
my,: $3.50, be; given to The poor of CentIalia.
This is eensible conclusion, and shou1d be
initiated by their brethren elsewhere.
