The MARTINETTI TRoUPE.-The Ravel-
Martinetti, now Martinetti and Marzetti
Troupe, were detained on the road yester-
day and did not arrive until late hour
In the afternoon, and were thus prevented
from making the necessary preparation for
the performance of their most brilliant
feats. But nevertheless, they appeared be-
fore very large and fashionable audience,
and gave an entertainment unequalled in
interest and beauty by any seen in Colum-
bus tor six years. There is no humbug ad-
vertising imposition about this Troupe, and
the person who sees them has certain
thing of getting the worth of his money,
and something to be remembered for a life
time besides. They appear again tonight,
and will be prepared to perform some of
the most extraordinary of their gymnastic
feats, unique pantomimes and classic
dances.

THE CITY.

Cry COUNCIL PRocEEDINGs-SPEcIAI
MEErING.--The City Council met at the ap-
pointed hour last evening-fourteen mem.
bers present, and President Rcinhard In
the chair. The object of the special meet
Ing was the further consideration of the
ordinance passed at previous meeting to
levy tax to pay bounty of 500 to re-
cruits placed to the credit of the city. 1t
appears that the 100000 bonds have not
been taken by the people, only $3.50 having
yet been negotiated, after two weeks have
passed.
After some little discussion, the point of
which was not very clearly delineated, Mr..
Donaldson presented an ordinance supple
mentary to the ordinance authorizing the
issue of bonds, further authorizing the City
Clerk to pay out these 500 bonds to wards
that are filling their quotas.
On motion to suspend the rules call Of
the Council was had and the Marshal dis
patched for the absentees. Further pro-
ceedings were dispensed with.
A resolution directing the Mayorto con-
vey to Adelia Mccoy, by deed in fee sim
pie, the south half of lot No. 62s, IN pursli-
ancs of contract made with said Adelia
Mccoy by the Board of Education, was
passed.
A similar resolution to convey to Edwin
Domoney in-lot No. 645, in pursuance of
contract by the Board of Education, was
passed.
A petition from Geo. L. Converse was
presented by Mr.. Gilmore, representing
that the waters of the Scioto below the
Penitentiary are very impure, and that ice
cut from that part of the river is being sold
to citizens; the petition therefore prays for
an ordinance prohibiting the cutting of ice
at point below the State prison.
Some discussion arose upon the petition.
Mr.. Patterson remarked that he thought
there was no danger of anybody cutting ice
In the river just at this time. The petition
was finally referred to select committee
of three.
Mr.. Gilmore presented petition from
Thos. Asbury, relative to the encroach-
ments of the city upon his property by the
pavement on the west side of the Market
House; that he had decree from Court to
compel the vacation of the property, ana
that in neglecting to remove the pavement,
all city officers had subjected themselves to
punishment for contempt of Court. Laid
on the table.
An ordinance appropriating $50 to pay
Messrs. Bailey and Chttenden for paving
In front of the South Graveyard, was
passed. ... .....
The ordinance supplementary to the
bounty ordinance was taken up and read
the third time, discussed for few hours by
Mr.. Wilson, pending the conclusion of
whose last speech, our reporter adjourned.

the movements of the rebels
Gen. Chalmers, with a rebel force num-
boring two thousand FIVE hundred, is re-
ported to have been in Grand Junction
Tenn, on the 29th ult. Other rebel forces
were at Bolivar at the same time. Gen.
Forrest was at Trenton at the latest ad
vices. t.u
1t is reported that the Sixth Tennessee

numbered, fell back, leaving fifty or sixty
killed and wou nded in the hands of the
rebels.
A rebel surgeon is detained at Paducah
as hostage for P. E. Hood, captured and
carried away from the hospital there by

Gen. Meade on the Battle of
a5a Gettysburg.
Gen. Meade has submitted written
statement in regard to the conduct OF the
battle of Gettysburg to the Committee on
the Conduct of the War. La this statement
he denies explicitly and emphatically that
he contemplated or issued, at any time
during the action, an order to retreat to
Tennallytown or to any other point: After
his arrival at Gettysburg, he asked several
corps commanders to act as his temporary
Chief of Staff, all preferring to remain IN
command of their corps f; he addressed E
similar request to Gen. Butterheld, VINO
consented. He directed him Immediately
to collect all possible information relative
to the roads leading to the rear. He ayers
that, in giving this instruction to zen.
Butter6eId, he had no thought OF retreat,
but merely aimed. at obtaining information
which any prudent General would consider
necessary for an intelligent understanding
of the field of action. Gen. Butterfield, on
the morning Of the second day, drew up an
order directing all trains and baggage to be
sent to the rear. This order gave the
occasion for the assertion of various OH
GERS that an order to retreat had been
given. Gen. Meade states that Gen. But-
terfield showed him the order that he
had told him it would not answer, and that
if it was issued it was without his author
hy. .t,
This statement of Gen. Meade is corrob-
grated by the testimony of General Glib
bon and other General officers and members
of his staff.

INCOMPETENT CLERKS AT WASHINGTON.
The utter incompetency of many of the
clerks in the Executive Departments is a
subject of universal comment. In one of
the bureaus Of the Treasury Department,
for example. the second man in command
is said to be incapable Of writing correctly
even the most ordinary letter, and clerk
under him cannot write at all. In one place
mere boys are intrusted with highly re-
sponsible duties, while men who have grown
frey in the service have to devote their time
to copying. The extent to which this style
of incompetent engineering is carried is as
founding. 1t was with an eye TO reform in
this matter that Mr.. Boutwell, introduced
bill for creating Board of Examination,
whose 6uty it should be to rexamine all the
clerks appointed to Office, as well as those
now in office who are unfit for their posi-
tons.

AFree Fight for Fremont.

The German Republicans have gone in.
ia the Fremont movement with will.
They nave become so thoroughly in earnest
that 1t is plain nothing can ever. induce
them to vote for LINCOLN. Indeed, their
whole movement is more ola protest against
him than an advocacy of any other candi-
date. The spirit of the Germans can be
Judged by the following extract frym a
speech made by one CASPER BUrz at a
radical meeting in Chicago. 81,
He said he did not think there was O
single man present at the meeting who
would stand up and say that Abraham Lin
coin should be re elected President OF the
United States. He had told the people Of
this country that the best policy for the
country was no policy at all. Laughter.
So far as he Mr.. Butt was PERSONAL y
concerned, he did not want any such man
for President of the United States. Cheers.
He thought Abraham Lincoln was the
,ceakest and porst man that eper filled the
Presidential chair. Great cheering. He
had no merits that were worthy of emula
ton, and had no more sense than child
Loud laughter and applause He coasid
cred him a pert sct imbeciLe. Renewed ap
plause.
He had come from the little town of
Springfield d, and had acted as if he had nev,
er seen any other place. He had tried to
direct the generals in the field, but in this
he had signally failed. The generals who
were far distant from Washington city al
ways won their battles, while those who
were near the capital always lost them.
Loud cheers. If a general came under
tie bligbting influence Of Lincoln, he was
sure to lose everything. He was decid eddy
opposed to the nomination of Lincoln at
the Baltimore convention, aud, in the event
of Lincoln being re elected, he would dread
the consequence. Cameron would be sure
to be taken back into the cabinet, and this
country would become the reproachs of ev
cry country in the world. He wished to
see Fremont nominated and elected, and
hedec,ared himself in faror d coving for any
one ercept Lincoln and Vallandigham. Loud
cheers. He thought they should do all
I in their power to secure the nomination for
next President of John @. Fremont, and re-
sumed bis seat amid loud applause

Tie Diference.

4 The Boston Courier illustrates the dit
ference between tho secessionists and abo
litionists as follows:
sOne is pulling at one end of web CALI
ed the Union, and the other at the other;
but the secessionists frankly avow that they
mean to tear the fabric in two, but the
abolitionists profess, and perhaps believe,
that it will be strengthened by the process.
We hope and pray that the stuff will hold
but we should prefer to lessen the force Of
the pull at both ends"
