SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1862
The Progress of Photography in ftiila-
aclphia.
The art of depicting objects by the agency of
light bids fair to vie with, if not to outstrip in popu
larity’all other modorn inyentionSi the art pre
servative of all arts ” alone exeoptod. Its progress,
since its practical application by Daguerre, in
France, and by Talbot, in Englund, three and twen
ty ycftjg hAS run thVAUak A jo&Unuoua aeries
of improvements, cheered at every step by the
prompt and profitable appreciation of the public.
By its Agency, works of art, which for long centu
ilea were wholly confined to mansions of the rich,
aro reduplicated at so cheap a rate that the hum
blest can possess and enjoy them. Heaven, always
and: in the best s«ii3Q, demoor&tic—
dispensing Us bounty alike upon the high and the
low—has, in the development of this art, turned
painter for the poor man’s home. -Thus, while for
nops tho pfiniieg and nobility of earth could
boast of their 44 works of the old masters,” we,
through modern photography, have great objects
minified, and small ones magnified, by the goldon
pencil of an older and a greater Master, with ft ra
pidity that makes their possession a source of plea
sure and improvement in every household. It is
gratifying to us ? that in this race for superiority in
the various branches of tho Daguerrian art, Phila
delphia. if she has not achieved a decided pro-emi
nence, has at least kept equal pace with any of the
cities of Europe or America.
The Sale of Photographs, especially the carte de
vi'te size, has become an important item of trade.
By this means, in conjunction with tho Photograph
Alhum, which is another invention for ell future
time, the most celebrated personages in every part of
the world are made familiar to all whose tastes ran
in that direction. We were not aware until yes
terday tiiut the sole of carles Ac visits JQ IhondOQ
and Paris was largely of American celebrities, the
pictures being executed here to the order of the
transatlantic dealers. For some months past Mr.
(jutekunst, of this city, who is confessedly unsur
passed in general photography in this country, and
in the production of the popular carte tie visite un
rivalled, has filled a large number of foreign orders
or tbis class. By the way, speahing of Mr. dute
kunst. wo have to chronicle the elegant new im
provements which he has just added to his galle
ries, on Arch street, above Seventh. With the ex
ception of u single room, the two vulirc building?,
Pios. 701 and 700 Arch street, are now occupied in
tho prosecution of his immense business. The
front, with its two magnificent show-windows,
Harking u wide, handsome entrance from the
street, is striking and attractive. For several days
past, tho pavemont in front has been fairly beset
with an admiring throng. Entering (be door, W 9
come immediately into the pieture gallery and
reception room, a large apartment, embracing
the entire ground floor of the vast building,
with it? side? enrigUgfl by « splendid and varied
array of specimen portraits. In the centre of the
room is a double counter, forming an elongated
letter V. surmounted with largo glass oases con
taming an endless variety of monutiggs for pic
tures, cartes de visite of distinguished persons,
copies of oil paintings, rare engravings, etc-,
and photograph albums, which are exhibited and
sold to customers by polite attendants. In the
rear of this apartment are desks arranged for the
transaction of the office business of the house, and
a large fire proof safe, in which all daguerrotypes
and other pictures font in to be copied aro oara
fully secured against accident. This Itself eon
stitues a large item in Mr. Gutekunst’s business,
his copies from old and indistinct pictures being
regarded as very superior.
A brief outline of the formula.or system observed
in waiting upon applicants for sittings may not ba
uninteresting. On entering the Reception Rdom,
the sitter is furnished with a ticket containing the
number of his “ turn,” and specifying the kind of
picture desired. If a lady, the next step is to pro
ceed, by an easy stairway, to the Ladies’ Dressing
Roam, on the seeond story—a handsome apartment,
furnished with all requisite conveniences, and sup
plied with entertaining books to pass tho time plea
santly while waiting. A similar apartment is also
appropriated for gentlemen unaccompanied by la
dies. On the arrival of the “ turn” designated by
the number, notice is- given by the operators,
and the subject for a photographic operation is
directed to seme one of the three » skylights,” or
operating-rooms. Here the ‘ : negative’ ’is obtained,
or glass plate with the portrait impressed upon it
in reverse. Owing to the thorouclily-scientific prin
ciple? adhered to by Mr. Gutekuust, more than a
single sitting is seldom required. The « negative,”
thus obtained, is then taken to an adjoining room,
where it is developed, and afterwards dried ready
lor use, The plate is next conveyed to the Printing
Room. Tho facilities in this department are on tho
largest scale; the “ frame” for exposing the nega
tives to tho sun, in order to secure the impression
upon the silvered paper, being of sufficient size la
receive from ninety to one hundred “ blocks” (or
small wooden cases}, in which the negatives are
secured while printing, a large proportion of which—
All 6p UiASA IntAUdAd for curd pictures — oontaia four
impressions each. The average time required for the
printing process when the light is favorable is about
twenty minutes, so that there is a possibility of pro
ducing with these facilities as many as twelve hull’
dred single impressions in an hour. We may
also state here, that every negative is marked with
the number of the ticlcet given to the sitter, which
number ia also set opposite la the person’ s name
upon a register kept for this purpose, so that if du
plicates are called for any time within a year (that
being the limited time for preserving the negatives)
they can he produced without delay. The room
where these negatives are stored affords a startling
idea of the extent to which photographing is car
ried on in this establishment, the present number
of negatives, accumulated within the past year,
exceeding thirty thousand.
After the pictures are printed, they are subjected
to an ingeniously arranged circulating cold water
bath for several hours, usually a whole night, in or
der to divest them of all superfluous chemicals,
and to make the impressions absolutely durable.
After this process, beiDg thoroughly dried, they
are ready for the Mounting Room, where they are
pared down to the requisite size. They aro then
attached to pure white cards, by the use of a fine
and very cohesive paste, run between metallic rol
lers of some two tons pressure, and after being
highly polished by a liquid application, they are
sent down to the Reception Room and deposited in
alphabetical drawers, ready for delivery. !
Taking into consideration the numerous processes j
through which every photograph has to pass, the
Jow prices at which they are sold is really marvel. -
PPis. A carte de visite , for instance, sold by
McAllister & Brother, or Earle & Son, or J. W.
Queen & Company, or the various religious' publi
cation houses—all of which establishments are in a
large degree furnished with these beautiful me
mentoes from the gallery of Mr. Gutokunst—pa33
through thirteen different hands before they are
finished. One of the chief secrets of the eminence
attained by the latter as a photographist is doubt
less found in his practical knowledge of chemicals,
being a graduate of the College of Pharmacy; and
another is, that the Operating and printing depart
ments are superintended by himself personally.
Not a single picture is allowed to pass out of his
establishment without his approval; and, be
ing himself an artist, he ha? thus avoided the
reputation of making second-rate pictures. He
has also added, from time to time, certain
substantial improvements in his art, which give
him decided advantages. The major part of
the materials used, by him are prepared under his
own immediate supervision. His present establish
ment is the greatest contribution to the importance
of this branch of industry and art that our city has
yet received. Ha now gives constant employment
to twenty-five operatives, which have their appro
priate spheres of labor in twelve different apart
ments. The building, or buildings, rather—though
they oommunicßto throughout—are supplied with
every modern convenience, including!dumb-waiters
and speaking tubes. The whole is heated from the
basement.
As might be supposed, he is prepared to execute
every branch of his art, from the small carte to
the life-size photograph, colored and plain; also,
ivorytypes, talbotypes, and every description of
mounting and frames. Everything in this estaV
lbbmcnl proceeds with the Bystem and regularity
of clockwork.

the journal patronized by the clubs and by young
France, announces the immediate extinction of the
white neokcloth—it is singularly bitter against this
admitted portion of the dress toilet. It seema that
the young men of fashion will not go to parties
where this part of the costume is indispensable, and
many of the patronesses of high circles have given
into the decision. It appears that a lady of high
distinction, who has the reputation of making the
most elegant courtesy in Europe after the Queen
Victoria, excited the risible faculties of one of the
most aristocratic assemblies by offering a most
gracious specimen of her talent to the white-neoked
butler, whom she mistook for the master of the
house. Our fashionable journal dwells upon this
contretemps as quite a sufficient reason for the
abandonment of the detestable white, and the sub
stitution of roso or pink silk.
The mechanics of Buffalo are on a strike for
twenty-five cents more a day, all around. They
fc ave been getting from $1 to $2 a day.

THE DETAILS TO MONI
From the editorial correspondent
Post) dated above Island No. 10,
following paragraphs are taken :
An Alarm.
Many were somewhat startled this morning by ft
rapid succession of the sound <f six or sevon
heavy guns, as if at a great distance from the
fleet. Various conjectures were Iraised as to the
direction from which the so usd omho, §dme con
tending that it was at New Madrid, while the ma
jority insisted that Point Pleasanj; was near the
origin. Among those to whose ears the tale of the
fourteen rebel gunboats reputed SjuiMiag at New
Orleans, had come a few days previous with dire*
iul significance, there was u flatter ofr excitement,
anxious discussion and Bpeoulations. Visions of
stupendous floating batteries, capable of incredible
number of knots an hour in flpeedJend
railroad iron, seemed to lt loom up 1 * and cluster
around the head of the island, wnile from their
open ports, guns of several hundred pounds calibre
peered forth ready to destroy thA flotilla at the
first broadside. No such sad ralstiap occurred
during the day, however, and we still are safe.
The New Rebel Gunboats.
Speaking of the ntw iron-clad gunboats which
the rebels are said to be building at New Orleans,
a correspondent says:
At Hickman, so late the abode of
and subsequently to a great degree the coiifdanu
of projected schemes and measures, the number is
said by the inhabitants to never have been placed
higher than seven. And even tile reports there
prevalent did not give them the benefit of such a
C6iit Of mall, faor even surrounded them ttHU a great
degree of invulnerability, as to regard them any
thing more than a means of defence) instead of ag
gression. Iron is a scarce commodity in the South.
When church toils are demanded for the oannon
founder, and hardware of every-dayluae confiscated,
as it is fully corroborated has boon done there, no
other inference can be drawn than that the raw
material is fast giving out, and new mines must
bo. discovered or some other metel substituted.
It is probably upon these gunboats that the rebels
depend to carry on the aggressive policy proposed
by certain Confederate journals. That scheme in
cluded the repulse of Commodore (Foote’s flotilla,
the recapture of Columbus, the taking of Cairo,
and forcible possession of the Illinois Central rail
road, its northern termini, Chicago and Hunleith
included; immediate passage up thb’ Ohio and Mis
sissippi rivers; the capture of Cinbinnati and St.
Louis, and the consequent “relief of oppressed
Southrons” in the latter city, besides sundry other
important aggressive moveinenta-j-and all with
fourteen gunboats! This course the] Memphis Ava-
Imche not long since solemnly predicted would be
pursued
The Red Rover
' Of late, rebel steamers bare be en very unfre
quent risitors about the works of the enemy,
whioh are within the limits of vision from aus
only point of observation—the decks of the
gunboats. The teronaut, who ma le his obser
vations on one of those days last week in whioh
fog and smoke combined to shut tut everything
from vifw. reported several moores aome distance
below the island, but they have nol progressed up
the stream where they could be seen, as they were
on the few first days succeeding th: arrival of the
fleet. But one came up Inplftin Sight today. It
was supposed to be ihe Red Rover, a boat well
known on these waters prior to the breaking out
of the war. Its visit was of short duration, and it
soon withdrew.
Brist Cflhnouadujg.
The cannonading on both sides has been more
rapid than was that of yesterday. [ The mortars in
particular bare made many excellent efforts to
ward the island: It has been heretofore at&ud that
Col. Buford and Copt. MoynaltnJ accompanying
Prof. Steiner on his balloon trips, discovered that
the shots of the mortars were, in the majority of
cases, far beyond the place it was designed they
should Strike. This is true of those fired in the di
rection of the island; while they were thus ele
vated the greater number fell far be yond the works
of the enemy, while not one which struck the
ground fell short. A few exploded in the air over
the works.
Anxiety to Hear from
The greatest anxiety is daily manifested to ob
tain late intelligence from the fort es under Gen.
Pope at New Madrid, and a day paeeing without
the receipt of news from that quarter is a day of
suspense. It will not be difficult for your readers
who have studied the position of affairs in this lo
cality to understand the reasons which prompt this
desire on the part of those accompanying the expe
dition. The success of our force sit this place is
olosdy allied with movements from fhat direction—
movements to the accomplishment of which obsta
cles have. thus far been presented, hut wfcieht it is
hoped, will ere long he removed, jibe position Of
Gen. Pope is now one of the most important of any
that has been captured or assumed since the begin
ning of the war. The great stake was worthy of
the means by which it w«? won, and the long and.
successful siege sustained by the army of Gen.
Pope before the town, paved the way for the sudden
and utter overthrow of the Confederate army in the
position we have now assailed.
The Enemy Cannot be captured if De
feated.
Those who fancy that when the final struggle at
this point has been made and the onnmy conquered
the entiro lot will be “bagged,” neeld not, a? f have
before insinuated, “lay that flattering UUCtiOa tO
their soul.” It is probable that in the event of a
speedy reduction of the position scarcely one-sixth
of the force now contending against us will be ta
ken. The plank road is flu ?asy sad smooth road Of
egress for troops if not for stores ana ordnance. We
may be so fortunato as to gain much in the way ef
“ plunder,” but theiive spoils will be comparatively
few, if the rebels are yet possessed of a tithe of the
discretion they hare shown in the past. The rebel
transports are yet free to come and go from the
widow Merriweather’s landing, and from thence
to the batteries opposed to us it will be remembered
is but a distance of five miles. This is but a short
“ Stretch” for & fleet-footed rebel with a foe in the
rear.
Our Pickets Surrounded tly Water.
The earth of Donaldson’s Point daily presents a
swollen area above the surface of the water. Colo
nel Buford’s pickets have been surrounded ever
since stationed on duty, and the encroaching ele
ment gradually circumscribes sphere of
action. It is possible they may be forced by the
pJffeSS of dli*6iiin«iahccp- in this case water, to
the first evacuation of this point. The high water
has in no wise benefited us, and hnsjdone no injury
to the rebels. It has threatened danger to their
works, but, so far as it is possible! for us t<? de
termine, has not executed the threat. They are
above it, and a rise of at least three ieet must ensue
before seriously interfering with their position. It
has increased the strength of the current of the
Mississippi, and rendered , our position ig a fight
much more hazardous. Even the towboats now
find it extremely difficult to uijinage burdens
which, at the common stage of water, they would
be able to rattle up stream with the greatest ease.
Against all these difficulties, in addition to the guns
of the rebel batteries, the flotilla contend*.
Monday’s Operations.
[Special correspondence of the Chicago Tribune. J
Monday, March 31. —The Wilson has just re
ceivcd orders for Cairo, and I impure the time to
add to my letter a few items of interest, which
would seem to indicate a different line of policy
upon the part of the rebels. From our position
while communicating with the Benton, by the aid
of a glass I could discover gangs of inen and teams
fit Work Upon the upper battery, which we bad
supposed was completely silenoed. The lower part
of the battery is submerged, but the upper portion
is being repaired. Upon the main land a long
line of new fortifications have been thrown up. and
several entrenohed camps established. This would
seem to corroborate the assertion of the Memphis
papers, that reinforcements had been sent to the
island; at least, within the past day or two the
rebel camps have largely increased upon the island,
also, another battery has been erected and trans
ports tO'day are plying busily between the head
and foot of the island. Everything ejnemy ward in
dicates a desperate struggle. Cheering news oomes
from General Pope, which I cannot detail. The
day of our deliverance is at hand. I Look out for
stirring news.
Interesting from Corinth, Mississippi—The
Strength Of the Rebel Army Concen
trated there:
The Cincinnati Times, of Wednesday eveoiag,
says:
We yesterday had a call from an. individual,
named Hiram Wilkinson, whose home! is in Buffalo,
New York, but who has been for nearly two years a
resident of the South. He gave us a detailed ac
count of his impressment into tho Secession army,
and his subsequent escape, on the 24th of last
month, from the rebel line at Corinth, which bears
the mark of truth upea it, but.which ; ffi omit ,* and
he showed a pass signed by Stanley Matthews, Pro
vost Marshal of Nashville.
He was attached to an independent company of
cavalry—there are numerous iudep mdent com-
Saniea of soldiers in tho Southern army, as all are
esirous of commanding—and, as Capt. Cheatham
was a reckless and brave man, he was ordered on
frequentreconnoissances, and Wilkinson had, there
fore, excellent opportunities of learning the condi
tion of affairs He says that not a regiment arrives
t 6 feittfOFOe tho national army, but it' is known to
the rebel offioers, who are as well acquainted with
the strength and disposition of our forces as our
commanders, so complete is their Bystem of es
pionage, and so numerous the traitors in high posi
tion among us.
When our informant left, on the 24 ;h alt., there
were from 70,000 to So,ooo Confederates, under
Beauregard, along the new line of defence, and
within twenty-five or thirty miles of Corinth, and
reinforoemefiii were pouring in from the east, west
and south, in large numbers. Arkansas will be
completely drained of troops in a few weeks, and
large numbers are coining from all jparts of Vir-
S’ma —even fretffi the army between Biiohmond and
anassas-T-the Confederates having dotonnioed to
abandon ail the border States, and make a stand in
Cotionia proper. There are not, he! 3ays, 60,000
men in all Virginia, and it is the confidential belief
of the people of Mississippi and Alabama that Mont
gomery will again be the capital of th'e“ Confede
racy 77 m leas than 60 H&j§. \
The rolling stock on the Hast Tennessee Railroad
is all impressed into the Government service to
carry eannon, troops, and ammunition from Vir
ginia to the new fortifications, in process of con
struction in Mississippi and Western Tennessee.
The rebels are anything but confident of victory;
indeed, in the ranks, there exists a {general de
spondency. The officers do all in their power to
rally the men, but in vain. A bloody defeat at
Corinth, and a sudden advance upwi (be compara
tively unprotected State of Virginia, Mr. Wilkin
son believes would Bpeedily overthrow the re
bellion. I
Great fears are entertained for New Orleans, as
it is well known that it will be attacked soon. But
there is a disposition to risk the fate! of the olty
rather than ttyat of the Corinth army, as the rebels
are confident that the yellow fever will drive Sett
ler’s forces out in due time, while Northern Mis
sissippi is a very healthy region, and aa C&-
cellent base for preparation during the heated
term. The rapture of the city, and tLe fulls pro
tecung it, will diminish the artillery of the Confe
derates so materially, however, that the further
proseoution of the war must necessarily be trusted
to the lighter arm of the service—cavalry and in
fantry—and they must depend almost solely upon
brilliant charges, something for which the Con
federates have not yet exhibited an enlarged ca
pacity.
Ills .Mobnl of tho strength of Gen. Grant’s army,
derived from rebel sources, shows that our'enemies
know much more than we dare publish. liow it
was obtained is a mystery to all but a few of tho
rebel officer?, and the epics themselves,
iA¥ LAST.
m of the Chicago
llarch 30tU, the
A correspondent of the St. Louis wri
ting from Cairo, gives the following description of
Commodore Hollins’ steaji*rani Turtle , or Mantis
sas y which drove away our ships at the Southwest
Pass of (he Mississippi, several months ago, and
which, at the present time, is moored at Island No.
10, Afldlstiiig the rebels in the defence of that
place. The correspondent says:
I have seen a rough sketch of Hollins’ cele
brated gunboat, the Manassas t or Turtle , taken
from the descriptions of intelligent parsons in Ga
luiufeus, who have seen her. She is about one hun
dred feet long and twenty feet beam, and draws
from nine to twolvo foot of water. Her shape
above w&tor is nearly that of half a §fesrp]y - p9iflfad
egg shell) so that a shot will gianoo from her) ns
matter where it strikes. Her back is formed of
twelve-inch oalc, cavercd with one-and-a half-inch
bar-iron. She has two chimneys, so arranged as to
slide down in timoof action. The pilothouse is in
the stern of the boat. She is worked by a power
ful propeller, but cannot stem a strong current. She
carries only one gun, a sixty-eight-pounder, right
in her bow.
3ece3»icniets of Columbus say that at ono
time she would have come up here to teat the metal
of our forts if the water had not been too low.
There was no time, however, while she was at Co
luuibua, when there was not water enough to float
her. She is said to be now at Island No 10, and tt
is reported that she would come up and engage our
boats ifsbo could stem tho current. There are too
many “ifs” about the institution.
There Is only one entrance to her through a trap
door in back. Her port-hole is furnished with a
heavily-plated trap, which springs up when thegun
is run out, and falls down when it. is run buck.
How the crew get their light and Rir, I SBU’t pre
tend to say.
This Turtle is certainly a formidable affair, a
second Merrimac in its way, and appears to be ca
pable of doing much damage while receiving but
little. It would be impossible to board her, as
there is only one entrance, and she is supplied with
hose for throwing hot water.
The rebels claim to have some new gunboats be
low, of a very formidable character.
If tho Turtle ie all the Seoesh fancy paints her,
why doesn’t she try the batteries of Point Pleasant
and Smith’s Landing ?
BUKBBOH OBIiBKAh SMlTIi’5 RETORT OF THE CON-
JMTION OP PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS.
State or Pennsylvania, April 2, 1862. I
1112 Walnut stfeat, Philadelphia »
Governor : I have the honor to report that As
sistant Surgeons Crawford and Warbourg, with a
hospital steward, reached IVinoheeter March 27,
after leaving Harrisburg at three A. M., of the
fftth, and were at once assigned to duty in the hos
pitals with Pennsylvania troops, their services being
commended by the medioal director. Leaving
Philadelphia March 27, after placing the sick
from Camp Curtin in the United States general
hospital at Philadelphia, I reached Winchester
March 30, travel being much interrupted by the
war. I found over 300 badly-wounded men, about
SO of whom were Pennsylvanians, with but very
few surgeons. As the batile was unaspsetsd,
proper provisions had not been made for the wound
ed, and their sufferings were great, it beiog impos
sible to obtain food, beds, Ac. All Sunday I as
sisted iB operations for their relief, and, with con
sent of United States, and their manifest relief,
prepared to bring all Pennsylvanians, wounded and
able to bear transportation, to their own soil.
Enclosed I forward a list of the wounded of the
Eighty-fourth and One-hund-ed-and-tenth, to-day
brought to Philadelphia. They are all seriously
infilled, were in danger of their lives, but evi
dently improved by removal. I also brought three
of the officers of the Regiment, Indiana,
whose thighs were broken by shot. They are
flue officers, very grateful for the services ren*
tiered, and will pay their own board. The Gover*
tor of Indiana will recoguize the attention to brave
men who supported our troops in the hour of dan
ger. I hope you will be able to visit the hospital,
and cheer those who have honored , the State. I
visited the battle-field, and am satisfied that the
bayonet charge of tho Eighty-fourth Regiment was
a brilliant one for any troops. All laud them.
Many of tbe men want clothing, Ac., haying tori}
and lost on the field that which they had. I also
brought home tho following corpses:
Colledge, of Hopewell; Croft and Fergusson.
Hopewell; Homersboueh, Phillipsburg; Limber
ii»j Cambriai Everly, Tyrone; Leibrieh, Jersey
Shore, to be buried at Harrisburg; John Prosser,
Bloomsburg; Heilerman, Hollidaysburg; Jamos
Koon, Hughesville, Lycoming, near Muncy.
These bodies will bo embalmed in twenty-four
hours, and in coffins ready for their friends. The
cost of coffins and embalming will be about $5
each. They will keep for weeks. Many of
the dead of the Eighty-fourth could not be obtained,
owing to difficulty in obtaining a fatigue party to
dig them up, in the disturbed state of an advancing
army. At Baltimore the Union men gayo much
relief to our wounded at midnight.
I forward official lists of the casualties in the
Eighty-fourth and One Hundred and Tenth, to re
lieve the anxiety of friends applying to yea for iQ
formutton, Acting under extreme difficulties, the
result of my efforts to comply with your orders will,
I trust; be satisfactory to you and the Legislature.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

Ail. ExiraordinaTy Sank Robbery.
UNCLE SAM’S SOLDIERS USED TO CARRY OUT THE
One of the most bare faced bank robberies we
ever hoard of took place at St. Louis, Missouri, on
the 27th of March. The chief actor was a mere
boy named Redman. The city being under martial
law, and a very sharp lookout being kept after Se
cessionists, the youngster forged an order of the
provost marshal; askmg a muitary officer in com*
maud in the city for a squad of sis men to aid In
the arrest of Mr. Hammer, of the firm of Hammer
& Co., bankers, on a charge of disloyalty to the
Government. Not being altogether satisfied with
the aspect of the provost marshal's signature to the
request, the officer applied to refused to detail the
men. Another forgery enabled Redman to procure
the services of a squad of men from ft Wisconsin
regiment, who accompanied him to tho banking
house, which is situated in one of tho most crowded
thoroughfares of the city. Stationing the guard
at the door, Redman entered and informed Mr.
Hummer that he was a prisoner. Mr. Hammer
asked an explanation. This was refused him, and
he was told to go instantly with the guard; The
hanker began to put up his bills and gold, but
that was what the young scoundrel did not want
above all things, and accordingly he forbade it.
Resistance only brought the guard with their
bristling bayonets, and Hammer, at the risk of im-
P&leihehi, threw what he could readily catch
up into the safe and locked it. On being
ordered to open it he refused, but was
obliged to give up the key. The lock being
a combination one, Redman could not open
it) although he tried very hard. Hammer was
commanded to unlock the safe, but that he abso
lutely refused to do, and was given over to the
guard, who took him to a place of custody. Mean
while Redman gathered up what money was left—
some s2.2sQ—pwkvtw it. He then made his
way cooliy through the crowd around the door and
effected his escape. While the act of plunder was
going on, a partner in the bank ran to the provost
marshal to learn the cause of the sudden and unjust
arrest of the head of the firm, when he discovered
that no order had been issued for Mr. Hammer's
arrest. »The St. Louis J\ r ews, which gives the his
tory of the affair of which the above is the sub *
stance, says:
“ further inquiries showed that there was some*
thing wrong, and upon sending an order to the
guard for the release of the prisoner, about four
o’clock in the afternoon, the denouement of tho
plot was reached- The banker had been robbed
and imprisoned ; Uusle Sam’a troops had been used
to do the work, and the bold scamp who planned
and executed the daring scheme bad, for the time,
escaped. Notwithstanding his good luck, however,
he has since been arrested, and will shortly enact
the next scene in the drama he so successfully
began. He has earned a plase in the penitentiary,
and a position among the first oracksmen of the
age.”

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN LEADER ON THE

Speeoh of Senator Sherman, of Ohio,
From the great speech of the Hon. John Khermau, or
Ohio, delivered in the Senate on Wednesday, wo make the
follow ing extract:
Tn« DEiCiSFITS OF EMANCIPATION,
If the State of Maryland will hut try the experiment
that, has l>ren tried in other Staten, they will find the be
nefits of thia policy of emancipation There was iu rim
Stflto of Ohio a very lareu proportion nf thu Stato ml
iwjdt? for VirginiuTiK, called the Virginia Military Dis
trict. Weftrly all nf the people jf that portion nf the
State of Ohio are the (IrßcrmdantH nf Virginian*. They
have gone there with (heir nlnves. I have often heard
troni the earlier nltfcri) Of Ohio about lawn fnuiilins fium
"virgin,« wwjinnn coming to trio state to eot*

the Revolutionary war, and brianing their slaves

Virginia, and the lands themselves, accunlim,' to Urn
tcrrimony of those samo Virginians, are worth threefold
what they would have In on if the} ha.l held rim negrooa

intelliaent enlightened, usd ahtePbrieiiu? po-riom* «l v tho

by «=nmo gradual system, that would not break too mu:U
ou the prejudices of their people, tho mere va'ue nf their
lands would bo enhanced twice the amount of all the nomi
nal raluft of their slaves.
Tim MODERATION OF TIN! REMNIM/'AN PAttf V.
If the Republican party has been didtinguhbed for
anything at all, it has been tor Us moderation, almost Us
timidity. It has never assumed an affirmative policy on
ibid i{ueidjt»n of hi a. very biitce its orguuiz.uliun to thia
hour—never. It has always been defensive. It has
never affirmed a single proposition of a legislative
character until this proposition to abolish slavery in tho
District of Columbia ib brought forward, perhaps as a
Republican muuupa, or at Jwud it it 111 Uu valud fop b?
the body 6f IlepUblte&riSi. Iu the whole coutest in
regard to Kansas, it was simply defensive. In the Le
compton controversy, and in all the controversies tb.it
have occurred in regard to slaves and slavery since the
organization of the Republican party* it has been purely
and simply a defensive organization. I think the Senator
will find great difficulty in pointing out the allegations
for his indictment to show that this party ever proposed
any offensive or aggressive measure of any kind what
ever iu regard to slavery in the
I have ha«i the honor of holding a seat in Congress
since the organization of tho Republican party, and I
know, from observation here, that this party, as » politi
cal organization, lias never proposed any aggressive
measure. It has always bean defensive. It has stood
hero fighting with the prt-jndlce.H of Ihe popple of thia
District against it, with a powerful Democratic organiza
tion oga-nst it, with a strong caste in tho Southern
States against it. simply on the defensive in endeavoring
to prevent the extension of slavery, and to prevent the
rmliwtl CTprllitw »f a line wtiicli lias been framed by
our fathers against the extension of slavery north and
west of Missouri. Ido not know any measure on which
it lias taken un aggressive position.
Mr. DAVIS. Will the geutlenmn allow me to make a
disclaimer? 1 did sot intend to impute against the Re
publican party that line of policy. I only intended to
make that imputation against tho Abolition party. I
tnist that there is bow a line of separation between the
Republican party and ihe Abolition party.
Mr. SHERMAN. Will. Mr. President, I know it is easy
to state distinctions of this kind j but iu my experience
our opponents h»vn generally denounced us under What
ever name they chese to call us, and put us all iu tho
same category. They do not draw very uice distinctions.
As for example, the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Simmer,) as be lifts a perfect right to do, introduced a
series of resolutions giving his idea &b&ut the effect of
the war upon the political status of the States, aud at
once those resolutions arc seized upon as the dogma of
the Republican party, and we are denounced for them,
although candid men must know that they aro but the
fißßimtiQTi of ft sinsls iitfiYiduftli who bus decided convic •
tioim ou this subject, mid who is far in advance of any
political organization iu this couutry.
Now, Mr. President, in the platform of the Republican
party, at Chicago, we adopted a resolution which declared
in the h rongest teims, and in the most emphatic lan
guage, ihe rights of the States. After Mr* Lincoln's)
election, it was manifest that we were in the face ef a
civil war; the plot of these seceding traitors bad begun
t’ be developed. They had aided us in the election of
Mr. Lincoln. Such iutn as Keltt and that class of sece
ding conspirators in Hie Southern States* for the purpose
ol exciting the prejudices of the Southern people, after
misrepresenting the Republican party, and making it
a bugbear in tbe Southern States, then aided the Repub
lican paity in gaining apolitical victory. After hav
ing accomplished that purpose, they sought to overthrow
tho Government,, because the Republican party had sue*
ceeded.
REPUBLICAN KINDNESS TO THE DEMOCRACY*
Not only that, sir ] this Republican party, which is
tho bugbear of ail tbe Southern i*eople, is tho most liberal
of all to political adversaries. Who is at tho head of your
army, dlaptoulcg patronage with a lordly band ’ A De
mocrat appointed by a Republican Administration. Who
receive that patronage ’ Who hold the high offices in
your Government I Who fill the affices in your various
Departments here l The majority of them Democrats,
men who hissed koiiiblicans here over and over main in
the other House. Was theta ever such forbearance I
What Republicans dispense your patronage Why, sir*
bo anxious was the Republican party to conciliate the
conservative sentiment of the Northern States and the
geutimeut of tho Southern States, that u r o ohoeo as stan
dard bearer a gentleman who hod but little experience in
public life, who had given no cause of prejudice, whd was
himself a Kentuckian by birth, who was but two yoarsin
Congress, who had no record certainly against slavery:
and he, following the same policy, bus revived many gen
tituien of the past generation, and placed them in power
around him. We do not complain of that. I simply in
troduce it to dhow that there never was a party more
magnanimous, more liberal, amt more generous to every
body but its oflu personal and partisan friends.
DEMOCRACY AND DISU.YIO-V.
Now, sir, 1 li&ve no right to com plain of tho reorgani
zation of tilt) Democratic party, or anything that belongs
to it. It is very well known that I never belonged to the
Democratic party, and have no sympathy with it. Al
though some ot its members are my personal friend*, yet
1 t»ve no faith id it. Ajl the bisuaiouicts, eo far aa j
know ; ail the men who are row fighting against the Go
vernment—or the great body of tlem; I will not eay
all—were certainly members of that party. 1 do uot
know that a einglo member of tbe Republican party—the
organization to which I am croud to belonjb=svui? took
up arms against bis Government, or ever threatened to
take up arms against his Government 1 have shown
you, sir, by facts that no man can controvert, that there
never was a party more liberal and generous to opea
enemies and manly foes, or to political adversaries. In
dffd, v.*e have. surrendered them every tiling j >yy fiayt}
given them oflices, honor, power, patronage, in a self
sacrificing spirit without exampe. 1 do not care how
soon they reorganize the o'd Democratic party. I wish
they would. But does it uot show to us. Republican
Senators, that it is Hweu&sy, If tbit u done, that we
{should have a party organization: that instead of wau
dering some bore, some there, some everywhere, we
should guy what we will stand upon, and what we ought
to do on various questions growing out of the prosocution
of this war I 1 am williug. on those positions! to co»
opei ate with any one without reviving old party ties.
A DEFINITE POLICY
I say, then, Mr. President, that it ia iraportaut that
the party controlling the action of this Government
should have a definite policy. \Ye cajjjjjf j|jS fOs
epoccibility, and vr? plight B9v tV 40 59 if W 6 COUUL IYO
aiein the majority in this body. We are in the majority
in the other lior.ee. Wo have a Bepublican Administra
tion. If we do not show to the people of the United
States thttt we have a d< finite policy, and have manhood
to stand hy ife and iutelligonoa enough to admitiUto? it,
we ought to be overthrown. I would uot weep over tho
grave of a party that will not stand by its friends and
stand by its principles and stand by its positions. I
would not belong to a parly that has not the manhood to
proclaim ail That it intends to do, all that it seeks to ac
complish, and to us© its power to accomplish that pur
pose. Parties can only he justified when they are Used
ns instruments to accomplish some great purpose; and
unless we use ours to accomplish some uoble and great
purpose, the Republican parly will melt away like a
storm of snow on a blight Aprilday. \Ve ought to adopt
a policy, and adhere to it Lei me state some few simple
propositions that we ought to adopt, and then I shall not
trespass further on the Senate.
OUR DUTY TO SLAVERY
We ought now to abolish slavery in this District. We
fiftTP til? right) anil it ia our duty to do it; and if tve
had wasted less time in doing it, it would probably be
just as well. We ought, then, religiously to adhere to
the promises we made to the people of this country wlieu
Mr. Lincoln was elected President. We ought religious
ly to abstain from all interference with the domestic insti
tutions of the slave or the free Stfttes, "We ought to atftlld
hy the Constitution as it is, hy the Union aa it is.
Whether rebtls are in arms or not, our duty is to stand
by our pledges, to stand by our manhood; and I, for one,
will do it. No temptation shall swerve mo from that
straight and narrow path. Our recorded promise ia not
only a bond of political faith, ft fa wd Qfhonor,
binding on us as honorable men to each oilier and tO OUl'
com try. We must not be driven to interfere with the
relation of master and slave, or with any other local in
stitution of any State, one step further than the Con
stitution gives us the ju3t authority and power to do.
TUB RESOLUTION 01‘ THE PRESIDENT.
But it is said that this resolution of the President now
before ub looks to interference with slavery \n the
Stated. Ido not so construe it. It does not assert the
power or advise us to interfere with slavery In the States.
On the eoutranvit by necessary ittiplleattoh &4 as
express denial dei ies the power. The language Is, that
the United States ought to co-operate with any State
which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery. If tho
State of Manla.».d should, in its wisdom, see fit to com
mence a system of gradual emancipation of slaves, would
they hot have the right to call upon us for aid and as
sistance ? We here announce, beforehand, that we will
give them pecuniary aid, but uot until they call for it.
It Is right that we Bhould announce that doctrine. It is
right that they should inaugurate that system: and I
believe that in the providence of Almighty God the sys
tem Trill be inaugurated more rapidly ovun thau we ndu*
h. pefor.
THE WRONG 0T SLAVERY
But, sir, there is another reason why this Government
ought to aid the Border States wlitnovet theydesiro it, in
emancipating slaves. It is a reason higher
thflU ftßy OlheF fitorely pecuniary reason, it is oue which
is implanted in the minds of tho civilized world. Slavery
is wrong. That is a reason that stands hack of all others;
one which would induce me, as a member of a Christina
civil'zed community, to expend the aid wheu it is a;ked,
not before; because I have no power to do it before
Sl&Vei-y Is wroDg. That is the moral conviction of our
people. It is the tuoiai conviction of the civilized world.
England, France, aud all the countries vhose commer
cial sympathies are with the South, dislike to aid the
South, because they would thereby .tid slavery. Wher
evor you find that sentiment peyyadifjg al] fifties pf
ciety, there must he some foundation for it. There is no
class of people in the world who defend slavery except
the Southern slaveholders.
THE DANGER OP MAKING STATES TERRITORIES
1, therefore, cannot help but say that, while I rospect
lliS motive*of ike honorable Senator from
wkilo I give him credit for consistency, ability, and a
great deal of culture, and am always glad to hear him
speak, ;6t I must confess that, When J looked oypf big
resolutions, they'struck mo with surprise and regret.
They would revolutionize this Government, Sir, strike
the States out of this ayatwii of government, aud your
Government is lost and gone. I -cannot conceive of the
United States governing colonies aud provinces contain
ing millions upon millions of people, black and white.
Ido not think such a thing can exist. Ido not believe ii
is iu the power of Secession to bring us to such a state
Of tilings. 1 can draw no distinction between the reso
lutions of the Senator from Massachusetts and the doc
tribes that are proclaimed by JeffVrsou Davis. If a
State can secede, the people of the State can make a new
government. If the people of South Carolina are firm
aud united in their policy, which no man doubts: if they
hat'© power to secede, they f.tWs seceded, and their doc
trine is true. But Ido not believe they have the power
to secede. They may go in banishment, wandering all
over the face of tho earfb»-JWrt they cannot take with
them a eitigla foot of tho I .soil 6f this country over which
our flag ever floated.- The doctrine of the Senator from
M aseachutfetto la sAbelaatiwlly an acknowledgment of
the right of Secession, of the right to secede, lie, how
ever, puts the States in the condition of abject Territories,
to be governed by Congress. Jefferson Davis puts it in
the power of the people of the States to govern the States
ihemeelves. As to which is the most dangerous or ob-
IIOXiOUS doctrine, I leave OVOty man to determine.
OUtt FVTt’KB POLICY
• I am willing, therefore, to adopt the policy of the Presi
dent in regard to slavery in the States, to abolish slavery
in this District, to promote a system of voluntary coloni
zation. I am in favor of confiscationj I |hipk jjwsh ft
measure should be passed promptly. Wo must seize
upon the property of theso men who have taken up arms
against the Government. Our people, when thoy come
to pay taxes, will demand it. These men know it. They
themselves are confiscating all tbe property of their own
