rams, has not in anywise tended to diminish the ap
prehensions of the people.
But there iB one incident connected with the
George Washington affair which is worth relating.
To give it ft dramatic sort of interest, a few words of
preface are neceesary. About three years acco a negro
named “Stirrup” was kidnapped at the. Bahama
Islands, taken to Fernacdina, Florida, and thence
Bent'to St. Mary’s, in the same State, where he
was sold into slavery for eight hunrired dollars.- We
can only approximate the date of the occurrence,
having nothing to guide us but his own statement
Shat he “spent one yea? with the rebels, and one
"year with us.”. His master first set him at-work
■cutting wood, aDd then promoted him to the, cotton
afield. When the war broke out Stirrup, along with a
number of other negroes, took French leave, and came
within our lines, and has been employed-upon G-o
-vernmentvesßelßeverBince.' Some littleatir having
been made about hiß kidnapping, Secretary Seward!
at the request of Lora Lyonß, made application to
Secretary Stanton, in January last, to cauae inqui
ries concerning hia whereabouts to be made by Gen.
Saxton. . Inquiries were made, but without result.
On Thursday,last the missing man turned up, at Ge
neral Saxton’s headquarters, in search of assistance.
He had been one of the crew of the George Wash
ington, and, finding his occupation gone, he, singu
larly enough, stumbled upon the very officer who
had been searching for him for upwards of three
months. .*
He will go Horih on the Arago, with instructions
to report to the BrPish consul. He states that two-'
other men were attempted to be kidnapped, but one
of them was drowned. The other is named Edwards,
and is probably still in slavery.
Mr. Edward L. Pierce, who was the. predecessor
Of General Saxton at Beaufort, will go Worth lay the
same steamer, with-General Saxton’s report of the
case, which is, altogether, quite romantic. .

Accounts from Fort Sumpter reflect the highest
credit on the.garrieon for coolness and bravery in the
recent fight. When the monitors were discovered
approaching the- men were at dinner. At the sound
of the “long roll” they sprang to their guns with
cheering. ;The battle'flag was run up to the air of
“ Dixie,” played by the band on the parapet, and a
salute of thirteen guns fired. Colonel Alfred Hhett
was the commanding officer of the fort. Lieutenant
Colonel Joseph Yates commanded the barbette bat

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1863.
The English Question.
"We are very far from wishing to have a
quarrel with England ; but we certainly do
not intend to be intimidated by her threats
or deceived by her clamors. The language
of Lord Palmerston, in the House of Com
mons, was not what a j ust and generous
Government should have used towards a
friendly nation. Instead of making an ex
planation or a reparation of England’s sin
gular conduct in the case of the Alabama,
he very coolly informed us that the laws of
England were so framed that there could he
no remedy. When Mr. Forster alluded
to the prompt action of this Government in
1855, in the case of the' Russian privateer
supposed to be fitting out in New York, he'
was told that in America, where the laws
are so flimsy and easily broken, such a
thing might occur, but it could never
take place in England, Mr. Seward might
very properly reply, that when the laws
of England cannot prevent Englishmen
from . doing us :inj ury, we should take
the most effective means of preventing
that injury. The case of the supposed Rus
sian privateer is so very suggestive, and
makes such a shameful contrast to the con',
duct of the English, that we may recall the
stojy'.M.werfind it illustrated by a writer in
the Inquirer newspaper. In the beginning
of the Russian war the course of the Ameri
can' Government was explicitly defined by
Mr. Marcy, .'our Secretary of State, in a
letter to Mr. Crampton, the British minis
ter “ The undersigned,” wrote Mr. Marcy,
“ is directed by the President to state to her
Majesty’s minister to this Government, that
the United States, while claiming the full
enjoyment of their rights as a neutral Power,
will observe the strictest neutrality , towards
each and all the belligerents. The laws of
this country impose severe restrictions, not
only upon its own citizens, hut upon all per
sons who may he residents within the Uni
ted States, against equipping privateers for
the purpose of taking part in a foreign war.
It is not apprehended that there will be any
attempt to violate the laws, hut should the
just expectation'ofthe President be disap
pointed, he will .not fail in Ids duly to use
all thepowei with which he is invested to
enforce, obedience., to them.” This was
frank, just, and sincere; ■ In a short time
the American Government gave a proof of
itheir sincerity.
A rumor. came to the ears of Sir John
'Crampton, the British minister, that a
ffiark was being'fitted out'in-‘New York
' harbor for the purpose of aiding the cause of
'Russia. He brought the to the no
tice of the Secretary ofv State, just as Mr.
Adams brought th e case of' the Alabama to
the notice-of the Earl Russell, her Ma
jesty’s Minister for Foreign Affairs. Instead
of asking the British Minister to find evi
dence, go before a court and make affidavits,
the matter was at once-placed in the hands
■of Mr. Gushing, our Attorney General. On
the same day, Mr. Cushing telegraphed to
New York,' directing the District Attor
ney to: take .information and prosecute.
This was at once done, and the vessel was
seized. In four hours the American Go
vernment did what England asked thirty
five days to do, and finally did not accom
plish; Tlic result of Mr. Marcy’s energy was'
the prompt seizure of the presumed priya
teer. The result of Earl Russell’s delay—his
petulance, suspicion, and coldness—is seen
in the numerous wrecks of American ships
now drifting about the ocean, and the terror
that has been spread through our commerce.
We have received a great injury—England
has been the cause of it, and she must give
us reparation. We are a friendly people—
we are a nation—and we have certain rights,
if we do not obtain certain courtesies.
England has invaded those rights—treated
us with injustice and bad faith. It may he
that she is taking advantage of our weak
ness and our troubles with the South. In the
day of our strength, however, we shall:
judge as we have been judged.
From Denmark—But no Dane.
Once or twice in a generation cold and
impassable England gets wild with joy and
flings herself into the maelstrom of excite-■
ment. Some cause springs up which quick
ens the national pulse. Then, as a foreign
journalist lately, remarked, on an occasion
which we shall presently notice, “The im
mense and laborious activity which has
stretched its arms around the whole orb of :
earth and has revolutionized the world by its ..
progress,' ceases for twenty-four hours, as at
the stroke of a magic wand. The whirring
machines stop, hands and heads let their,
wonted work fall, the husbandman forsakes
his plough,, the merchant his desk, the
coal-miner liis pick, the workman his tools ;
the whole nation has hut one thought—to
give itself up to festal mirth.” This was the
case, to some extent, when Victoria, a blush
ing, tearful girl of eighteen, succeeded
to her uncle the Sailor-King, and again,
twenty-three years ago, when she mar
ried Prince Albert. Rut the nation did
not heartily patronize that union. It had
no faith in the intermarriage of first
cousins, nor, truth to say, had it much relish
‘for introducing more of the old sluggish
Teutonic blood into the family of Guelph.
On the 10th of March, however, England
went wild with joy and became lavish with
expense, simply because the Prince of Wales,
who was a mere youth onlyrthe other day,
then wedded ayoung and handsome stranger,
for whom, it is said and believed, he: enter
tains an affection not usually to he found in
royals hearts. Of him, England: knew that
"he was son of them hereditary ruler, whom
they regarded with esteem ; of her, only that
she came, in the pride of her beauty and the
tender bloom of her youth, to become the
adopted daughter of a great people—im ful
ness of time, if so it, pleases God, to he
Queen-Consort of England. If the “loy
alty,” which, in solid John Bull, usually
overflows into something very like servility,
ran riot on the occasion in question, let it
he remembered that the English are not a
holiday-making people, like ‘their French
neighhorsi and may be pardoned if, when
they do enjoy themselves, they literally effer
vesce with the seldom-enjoyed pleasure.
Mingled with hearty good wishes for “ the
happy couple, ”. was a general feeling of sa
tisfaction that, making the best of the di
lemma in which the Royal Marriage Act
places the sons and daughters of the reign
ing family of England, the Prince of Wales
had gone out of the narrow circle of German
royalty and sub-royalty, and had taken a
Danish princess to share his heart and state.
To be sure, the previous matrimonial con
nexions of Denmark and England had not
been very felicitous.. The Princess Louisa,
youngest daughter of George 11., had mar
ried a Prince Royal of Denmark, in 1743, and
for nearly thirty years was one of the most
unhappy and ill-used wives in Europe. Still
earlier, the husband of Queen Anne, also a
Prince of Denmark, was about the mostinsig
nificant man in England, indolent and feeble
minded to a degree. Earlier still, Anne of
Denmark, the wife of James the First, was
mother of that wretched Charles Stuart
who was decapitated as a tyrant, and from
her; through him, came that miserable
Stuart race whose misconduct and mis
fortunes darken the historic page all through
the seventeenth century. Men of letters,
curious antiquarians, inquiring genealogists,
knew and reflected upon such antecedents,
hut the people at large saw no ill omens,
but the reverse, and heartily rejoiqed that
their fuuixc TUWiutrcli Lad- given. -‘‘tlur culr
direct’ ’ to a, German alliance. Bound, by
the lawj which placed This family on' the
British; throne, not to, marry any one but a
Protestant, and precluded by custom from
an imion with any lady under the rank, of
Princess’ it appeared, when the question of
his marriage arose, that Albert: Edward.
really had only seven ladies, at all of a suit
able age, to choose from. His sister, now
Crown Princess of Prussia, had seen Alex
andra of Denmark, and drew his attention
to the young lady in the first instance.
Great joy in England, then, that the
" Prince had wedded a Danish bride. Her vir
tues ("trustingly taken for granted, enniasse,)
were applauded to th'e dciroy wMcirdOtlr -ap«_
plaud again. On one triumphal arch un
der which she passed, on her way through
London,' was blazoned the inscription,
“ Yekommen Danske Bose," which, a lit
tle farther on, was changed into “ Yfil
heeommeden"— neither being Danish or
German, hut clearly welcoming the Rose of
Denmark. Journalists tenderly spoke of
her as “ the Daughter of Denmark;” Mar
tin F. Tupper, of Proverbial Philosophy
notoriety, and author of a‘ greater quantity
of metrical commonplace than any other
living poetaster, addressed an ode to the
bride, in which, he Alexandra rhyme
with wanderer, and kindly called her “a
Danish flower.” Professor Aytoun, edi
tor of “ Blackwood’s Magazine ” published
a Nuptial Ode in which the Princess was
hailed as
* ‘ Daughter of the far- descended Dane. ”
■‘Finally, Alfred Tennyson, the poet-lau
reate, called her
“ Sea-Kiags’ daughter, as happy as fair,”
and concluded thus
“ For Saxon or Dane or Norman we,
Teuton or Celt, or whatever foe we. '
We are each all Bane in our welcome of thee,
Alexandra!”
This namby-pamby, whose sole merit is
its brevity, is sold in London at: six cents a
copy, which is five cents over its value.
All, whether in -prose for .verse, were
wrong. Alexandra is no more a Dane
than we are. an - Ethiopian. Criticising Mr.
Tennyson’b very, feeble “Welcome;” the
London Atiienmm, said :
“ In these laureate lines, the thought is not very
happyyrior the diction very choice. That theory of
the young lady being a Dane, and a daughter of the
Sea-Kings, on which the.compliment of the piece is
made to turn, is not even historically trucj the
Prince of Wales, as a descendant of Anne of Den
mark; being more a Dane than his royal bride.”
The London Untie, on the same track,
tells us, ’
“Poetry has its licenses; but it.ean scarcely be al
lowed to transform a respectable old Teutonic family
tree into the wild brood of the old Scandinavian
JRavfn.” ■ ,
The family, the connexions, the nationali
ty, the very birth of the Princess Alexan
dra, are German, not Danish. Her father, a
German Prince, is no more Danish —and,
indeed, far less so—than Prince Otho, of
Bavaria, is Greek. The great European
Powers elected Otho of Bavaria King of
Greece, just as the same “ Great Powers”
more recently elected" the Princess Alex
andra’s German father (Prince Christian,
of Schlcswig-Holsteih-Sohdefirarg-Glucks-
Imrg) to be heir-apparent to the crown of.
Denmark. - The Bavarian prince feigned as
King of Greece, but it is by no means
certain that the Glucksburg prince will
ever reign in Denmark.
Ferdinand YIL, King of Denmark, born
in 1808, is childless —after being thrice mar
ried, the last time to-a Danish ballet dancer,
one Loui si-; Rassmussen; whom he has
created Countess of Danner. His next, and,
indeed, only heir, is Prince Ferdinand, his
uncie, married'and childless, now in his
71st year. The Salic law- now prevails in
Denmark, and to avoid future trouble, search
was made for an eligible candidate for the
throne. Prince Christian, of Schleswig-.
Holstein-Sonderhurg-Glitcksburg fa younger
brother of the reigning Grand Duke of llol
stein-Gliicksburgj, was selected, after much
negotiation. When. Denmark was at war
with the German Confederation—lB4B-MI —
this Prince Christian alone, of all the
members of his. family, took the Danish
side. As a reward, Baron Brunow, the
Prussian Ambassador, proposed him. at the
Congress of London, as future King of
Denmark, and this was . accepted by the
“ Great Powers’.’ in a protocol,- dated May
8,1852. The Rigsdag, or Parliament of Den
mark, who did not understand such an oft
hand way of disposing of the Crown, openly
refuse to ratify the Treaty of London, and
to acknowledge “The Protocol Prince.”
The Rigsdag was dissolved, but in the new
assembly, a still larger number of represen
tatives held out against Prince Christian.
Then, a third Rigsdag finally ratified, by a
very small majority; the Treaty of May 8,
1852. It is a simple vote which may be
repealed any day. There is a “patriotic"
party in Denmark that wishes to see Den
mark, Sweden, and Norway under one
and the same ruler— to wit, Charles XV.
of Sweden—and may oppose Prince Chris
tian’s succession.
Prince Christian has been repudiated.by
his-own German family, as a “political
apostate,” because he supported the cause
of Denmark against Holstein, and has no
pecuniary allowance from them. He lives,
very economically, on a small annual in
come,from the banish Rigsdag. The do
mestic virtues, by all accounts, have found
a home in his dwelling. But lie is only
‘ 1 Prince of Denmark’ ’ by adoption; liis
daughter Alexandra is not even Danish by
birth; and her real,' hut less magnificent
title is Princess of Sckieswig-Holstein-
Glucksbui’g. But that would show her Ger
man race, which, for many reasons, Eng
land wishes to ignore.
The New York World, with the instinct
of a Democrat of the modern school, takes
occasion to pay a compliment to General
Beauregard. “By his genius and pro
fessional skill, ” says, the -charitable World,
“he has erected /batteries 'in 'Charleston
harbor that would sink all the wooden fleets
in-the world, did they come under fire, and
he has succeeded, moreover, in driving back
in disgrace the most impenetrable iron-clad
fleet afloat.’’ .We might. suggest to the
World the propriety of saying a word or two
in reference to Dupont, Turner, Worden,
Rhind, and the other gallant men who have
shed immortal honor upon our navy by
their braver and prowess. Words like
these might encourage the loyal heart; and,
as that is the last thing of which the World
-would-be guilty, a compliment to Beaure
gard is consistent and appropriate.
In New York the true and the false De
mocracy are being divided. The friends of
the Dnion repudiate those who are against
it, and as an evidence of the sincerity of this
feeling, wc see the New York Leader, a
Democratic newspaper of New York; de
nounces Mr. Wood for liis recent speech,
and rejects all further fellowship; with him.
Not long since, the Leader was one of Mr.
Wood’s warmest friends—now he is de
nounced. His speech is characterized as an
attempt on Mr./ Wood’s part to “subvert
the regular Democratic platform, and substi
tute for it a miserable erection of his own.”
He is irreverently spoken of as a “restless
and ambitious demagogue,” and is informed
that “ his attempts to thrust his nostrums
down the throat of the party are impotent
and absurd.”
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, April 14, 1863.
The fate of Poland contains a lesson that
America should learn. I can, of course, find
no-comparison in these countries beyond
this, that America is fighting to maintain
her nationality, while Poland is fighting to
obtain the birthright which an oppressor
took aw;ay. The great crime of history
holdsTPoland in chains; the great crime of
modem civilization caused the South to
rebel. The fate of Poland is so far deve
loped that we can profit by her unfortunate
example. ’ She perished because of dissen
sion and rivalry in her own counsels. The
leaders failed to realize the sublimity of
patriotism which yields everything to
the good of the .cause. Instead of
consolidating and making effective war
upon the; -common enemy, they quar-'
relied with one another. Langiewicz had
hardly assumed, the reins of power, and
made the cause of Poland respectable in the
eyes of the world by his energy and valor,
before another son of Poland advanced his
claims to the illustrious and perilous posi
tion. The rest is briefly told. The armies
~ol' Polcvntl Wfivo--cL<mi.oral»«ocl-) -tlAoy._\v'a.St6d.
tie energies thatslioulcl have been directed
against Russia in civil commotion, and their
cause perished. Langiewicz is a prisoner:
and a fugitive, and Russia is qgain the mas
ter of the kingdom. Diplomacy has been
appealed to to do what the sword of the Pole
might have more effectually accomplished.
The elements that combined to produce the
overthrow of Poland may he found in the
United States. We have seen among our
generals the same spirit of rivalry and
jealousy that resulted so shamefully to
them. We have . seen generals discussing
personal grievances within sound of the
enemy’s cannon. We have seen l timidity
..Where we looked for courage, and apathy
where we expected devotion ; deceit instead
of honor, and fraud instead of honesty, Tire
report of the Committee on the Conduct df
the War is avast catalogue of these sins
and errors; and if we look over the roll of
battles we shall he mortified to see how
many precious golden moments have been
lost; because the proper spirit did not ani
mate the servants: of the Republic. Then,
turn to the political situation. In every
part of the loyal North we find men hold
and had enough to avow sympathy with,the
South, and to make that sympathy the
basis of political action against the Ad
ministration. “ Let the Administration
be overthrown,” say these enemies, “ and
we shall construct another.” This- was
the cry in Poland. Langiewicz fell, hut
the Russians, and not his rival, triumphed.
Depose Mr.-Lincoln, and Mr. Davis, or a
worse than! Mr.' Davis, will take bis place.
Then we shall have the fire, the sword, the
scaffold, and, a bloody saturnalia of retribu
tion and crime. We have reached the tum
bling-point in this struggle. One or - ano
ther must fall, for the strength of the North
and South are braced to the utmost. The
country needs the energy and faith of every
man, and whoever fails her in this hour of
trial is a traitor more degraded than- Judas,
and more infamous than the first-born, Cain.
One betrayed his Master, the other betrayed
and slew his brother; and to-day our master
and brother is the nation. Occasional.
WASHINGTON-
Special Despatches to “ Tire Press.”
Washington, April 14,1863.
The Work of our Navy'.
The Na-vy Dcpartnicnf has received official infor
mation of the following captures:
* The D. Sargeant, from Galveston, bound to Hondu
ras, on the sth, with fifty-one bales of cotton. The
capture was made by the United States gunboat
Kittanning, off Galveston bar.
The, T. Chapman, on the 15th of March, by the
boats of the United States ship Cayne, in the harbor
of San Francisco, while sailing under suspicious
circumstances showing that she was designed to
prey upon our commerce.
The sloop Banger, of Clay’s Landing, Suwannee
river, by the Fort Hemp’s armed boats, off Chris
tal river. Her cargo consisted of Balt, dry-goods,
gunpowder, &c.
Also, the schooner Anna, of Nassau, N. P., while
endeavoring to evade the blockade off the mouth of
the Suwannee river, with ah assorted cargo.
It appears from the information received at the
Navy Department, that the extent of sickness
among the midshipmen on board the practice-Bhip
Constitution, at Newport, K. 1., has been much ex
aggerated. The few patients are to be landed and
placed in the hospital at the Academy.
Tax on Insurance Policies.
The Commissioner of Internal Kevenue had made
the'following .decision : The 6th section of the act
of March 3d, provides that, “On any policy of in
surance or other instrument, by whatever name the
same shall be called, by which insurance shall be
made or renewed upon proj>erty of anyidesctiption,
whether againßt perils by sea, or by fire, or other
peril of any kind, made by any Insurance.Cooipany,
or its agents, or by any other company or person, in
which the premium or assessment Bhall not exceed
$lO, a stamp duty often cents.” The Commissioner
construes the phrase "premium or assessment,”
here used, to inolude all payments for insurance,
whether in money, or in premium, or deposit note.

half a mile of the battery during the entire action
and our shots struck the embankment at nearly
every discharge. The great 100-pounder shells from
the Southfield could be distinctly, seen to burst
within the rebel entrenchments, or immediately be
hind them in the rebel camps, where the destruction
must have been fearful. But the rebels maintained
a perfect silence until our fleet Btopped firing, -when
they wheeled two Bmall guns into position and
blazed away at us.
Their first shot struck the water about fifty yards
inside the Southfield, and ricocheted clearly over the
vessel and sunk in the river fifty yards this side.
The firing from' the gunboats was mo3t admirable;
but the singular and baffling position of the ivories
deprived it of effect. This is all worthy of note on
Friday. ' r, .
RUNNING THE BATTERIES.
On Friday night, just after dark, Captain Mc-
Dermot, of the Ceres, volunteered to run the bat
teries to carry a load of ammunition to thVgunboats
and garrison at Washington. As the rebels had re
moved the buoys and stakes which marked the chan
nel the captain had to feel his way, and as he pro
ceeded he took the precaution to re-stake out the:
channel, so that any boats which might follow
would have no trouble. He reached the blockade
about daylight, having been under a,continual’ fire
from the guns of the battery all night. .’The next
morning, at six o’clock, he passed the .obstructions,
and proceeded on to Washington successfully. ' a
. Running the batteries with despatches’ has become
a sort of epidemic daring and chivalric fashion
among theyoungand ambitious staff officers of Fos
ter, Prince, and Spinola. Captain Gouraud and
Lieutenant Cole were the pioneerß-in this species of:
daring ; then on Friday night Lieutenant Wii isms,
of General Spinola’s Btaff, “ tried his’ luck, and
won,” and on Saturday night Dr. Rice, of Brooklyn,
brigade surgeon of Spinola’s Legion, ran up and
back insalety. Lieutenant Williams was under a
continual fire of musketry all the way from Hill’s
Point to Rodman’s farm, a distance; of over three
miles; Dr. Rice, being delayed until daylight in re
turning, not only encountered the enemy’s musketry,
but Was fired upon some dozen or fifteen times from
the Hill’s Point battery. The daring of these feats
may be appreciated when I state that a large portion
of the way the boats have to go within four hun
dred yards of the shore occupied by the rebels. ,
On Saturday an attempt was made by the foroes.
at Washington to capture the battery at Rodman’s
Point. The gunboat Ceres took on board a landing
force of two hundred infantry, under General Pot
ter, chief of General Foster’s staff, and star-tod at
eleven o’clock; but, getting aground a short dis
tance from the battery, was unable to put the infan
try aßhore. The rebels, seeing the condition of
affairs, opened up the battery- upon the gunboat,
and a smart fight ensued, in which the gunboat lost
five men killed and wounded, and the rebels had
two guns placed hors dc combat.
ANOTHER CANNONADE —AN IRONIC
“GOOD NIGHT,”
'SuHEAT, April 6.—This Morning the large gun
boat Hunchback, Captain McCann, arrived, and it
was hoped that with her six heavy guns, and the
assistance of the rest of the fleet, Bhe would be able
to dislodge the enemy from the Hill’s Point. Battery;
but after a severe cannonade of two hours, during
which time the rebels maintained an ominous
silence, we found them still in possession, and when
we had finished: shelling. them, they wheeled -their
big Whitworth around towards us, and from its ugly
mouth whispered us “good night.”
. REINFORCEMENTS—FOSTER’S PERIL.
The transport Northerner arrived here this morning
fromNewbern, with a reinforcement of troops, and
it really seems as if we had enough men now to land
and take the accursed battery by storm. It is
certain, however, that, if those batteries are not
silenced, and the enemy dislodged soon, we can get
no supplies or reinforcements to Washington, and if
we do not send those necessaries to General Foster,
it is. equally certain that bur tenure of the place will
be painfully abbreviated. General Foster has done
all, in holding so many places upon the coast with
his small force. .
MoifDAT, April 6.—C01. Chapman goes this morn

EXPEDITION UNDER GOD. MONTGOMERY
SURPRISED. •
On the 29th ult., a Yankee, gunboat, .with a negro
battery on board, went up the St. John’s river, Fla’.,’
to take possession of the town of Pilatka. Captain
Dickinson, with 110 Confederate cavalrymen, dis
mounted, was sent to hold the place. .
The Lake City Columbian says Capt. Dickinson,
upon reaching the ground, hurriedly prepared rifle
pits within one hundred yardeof the wharf, so loca
ted as to conceal his men, and yet. so arranged as to
enable him to enfilade the. wharf from two direc
tions. The gunboat, on making her appearance,
moved up very cautiously. After- throwing shells in
several directions and no person appearing, shecame
to the wharf, made fast, and about one hundred men
the' shore with;, great- glee. Captain
Dickinson, watching the ' foe, as: soon as the
ebohy crowd, with their' lieutenant colonel- had
gained the wharf, gave the order, and onehundred
and ten rifles threw their- death-dealing contents
into the mass. Then' followed the screaming v of the
darkies, and ;a rußh to the deck of the gunboat.
•Dead bodies' and wounded wero hastily thrown
upon-the deck, and the boat pushed off, and left
without filing a gun. . Thirty or forty were kilied
and wounded.

M , i e . J n ? ln ?£ ,ty w , ere unfounded by any evidence or facts
cited by themselvos. By the argument-of the minority,
every Republican member who-voted for Simon Cameron
was guilty of complicity with this attempt-at fraud.
Mr. \ Ih CERT said that he did nob believe one single
Republican in this House knew of any attempt at fraud
by General Cameron.
Mr. KAINE. I would line - to* ask the- gentleman a
question. - : :
Mr. VINCENT. Yes. sir.'.
Mr. KaJNE. w,li t I want to ask him if everU Revub
■ lican did not know the fact that GenerabCameron could
noi be elected except by bribery?
Mr. VINCENT. I had then, and I have'yet, a better
opinion of General Cameron than to suppose, for a mo
ment, that he would rcsorfto any of obtain
ing votes; and I think gentlemen on this side of the
Bouse think the-same way.
Finally, it resolved to print nine- thousand copies.
Mr. HUPKIRS, of Washington, offered the following
resolution :• . . •
Resolvd, Th at the Governor be instructed to direct the
Attorney General to institute criminal proceedings against
Simon Cameron, John J. Patterson, William Brobst,
and Henry Thomas.
Mr.-BENEDICT moved to amend by striking out the
names of Gen. Cameron and the others in the resolution
and insert the name of T. Jefferson Boyer. Disagreed
to'by a Btrifet party vote. “
The vote was then taken on? thB resolution of Mr.
Hopkinß, when Mr. Laporte (Rep.) voted aye, and
desired to-Piter-his reasons for so doing on the journal,
which were as follows:
•‘ As Simon Camerou has, as Xam informed, constant
ly asserted since his dtfeat. that but for his failure to ob
tain my vote he would liavebcen elected; and as that as
sertion can only be true, in my opinion,upon tlie ground
thathehad purchased a Democratic vote—l vote a.ye.”
The original resolution of Mr. Hopkins, of Washing
ton, then passed—yens 49, nays-dl.
The resolution then being on final passage,
Mr. CHAMPNEYS rose to proaouncetheactasthemost
infbroous violation of the Constitution of which he had
ever heard, when '
Mr. TRIMMER called the previous question, and Mr.
Champney 8 was ordered to take his seat.
Passed finally. . .
Numerous reports-from committees of conference on
local and unimportant bills were made and concurred
in.- . ...
An act relative to the olaim of James Digham. passed
finally. . '
An act to vacate a portion of Jones street, in the Nintli ;
wai*d, city of Philadelphia.
Mr. COLEMAN moved to add, “ And that the assent of
all the property lioldors on the portion proposed to be va
cated tliall fi st be obtained ” Ho bad received a letter
from a property holder on that Street, who informed him
that thePhilade-phia and Brie Railioid Company was
said to own the property on that street, and that that
company desired, to build a depot on its site; whereas
the company did not own all the property.
The amendment of Mr. Coleman was agreed to, and
the bill, as amended, passed finally,
An act to repeal an act to incorporate the North West
ern Navigation Company passed finally.
A supplement to the act to provide for the adjiidication
and payment of military claims passed finally.
An act for the -payment of the troops of the Ist Reserve
Brigade, for services iii Schuylkill county.
Mr. VOLF, of Schuylkill, opposed the bill, because he
said these troops, had. come up there to suppress a
not, ’ when there was noue to suppress; they had
come there on a grand spree; they drank and caroused,
and finally loft without paying their bills. If these
troops wove to be paid, he wanted a provision inserted
by which the people, on whom those soldiers lay, for
the time being, should be compensated.
Mr. TRIMMER said be Wrs unwilling to pay troops of
one county.for marching to another to coerce freemen
into obedience to the mandates of their employers.
Mr. JOHNSON thought the reasoning of the gentleman
was the reverse of truelogic.Thosesoldierswere order
ed to Schuylkill conntyby the Governor, and they went,
for it is the duty of,the American soldier to obej r . Even
supposing there was n<? riot there, were the soldiers to
be blamed f<H'n^yingthe order? : :
The bilfp&ss4u finally, with proviso that the bill in
curred shall be paid by the City Treasurer before pay
ment of troops.
Adjourned.
.AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House met at 2K o’clock.
Resolntious on the State of tlie Country.
Mr. JACKSON rose to a privileged question. He
moved that the vote by which the resolutions on the
state of the country were passed finally, la=?t night,
(under the operation of tlLe previous question), be recon
sidered.
Mr. BARGER seconded the motion. .
Inthe meantime, pending the question of privilege,
the SPEAKER laid before the House-various unim
portant Senate bills, which were acted upon.
. Mr. BENEDICT moved that the House hold an even
ing=session, commencing at 7Jf o’clock, for the purpose
ofrictingupou Senate amendments, the session to con
tinue until the Senate adjourns.
The proposition was agreed to.
House bill, an act relating to evidence (allowing both
parties in a case to-testify.) '
. Mr. VINCENT was in favor of the defendant testify
ing in his own case. This bill was just what we have
needed for years. Men will not be more likely to com
mit perjury than to procure periury by subornation.
He hoped that, at some day, this system would'be en
grafted in our system of jurisprudence.
On motion of Mr. VINCENT, the bill was postponed
for the present.
An act for the relief George S. King, of Cambria
county, vetoed by - the Governor, was considered,
and ' the motion to pass the hill over the veto of
the Governor was disagreed to, two-thirds not having
voted in the affirmative.
Mr. HOPKINS, of.Washiugton, from the committee of
conference on the supplement to the act relating to de
cedents’estates, repo) ted that the committee had sub
stantially agreed to the House amendment, increasing to
five huudreddollars the amount of claim a widow may
haveout of real and personal estate.
The report of the committee was concurred in, and the
bill again passed finally. .
: Mr. LUDLOW stated to the House that the House this
morning passed a supplement to the act forth© adjudi
cation of military claims, which was supposed to cover
all just claims, bnt it only extended the provisions of the
act of’t2, : which provided only for: the adjustment of
claims prior to May 15,1561/.while there are other and
just as meritorious claims subsequent to that date.. He,
therefore, hoped that the orders would besuspended, that
he might move an amendment to the bill' providing for
claims prior to December 1,1861.
On this motion the orders were called.'and, on motion
of Mr. VINCENT, the House considered"** An act for the
recovery of money for certain lands of the State, held by
virtue of officer&c,''’
... After some discussion, the bill was indefinitely post-
;
Mr. KAINE moved that the House how adjourn; after
a vote viva voce the.yeas and nays-were ordered.by
Messrs. Labar and Schofield—yeas 56, nays 26. Ad
journed. ...
' An effort was made to reconsider the vote of this morn
ing on suspending the orders of the day, the object being
to consider the supplement to the Thirteenth, and Fif
teenth-sheets Railway Company; allowing the company
to use Broad street. , -
A motion wae madeto'adjonm, which was carried by
yeas 56; nays 26. •
This effectually killed the proiect. The bill has been
vigorously opposed by Mr. Hopkins, chairman of the
City Passenger Railway Committee, and by Messrs. Bar
ger, Cochran, Young, Ludlow, Quigley, Thompson,and
Smith, of Philadelphia; Mr. Wimley, of Montgomery;
Mr. Early, of Elk, , and Boyer, of Clearfield. .To these
members the defeat of, the'project granting Broad street
for a freight and passenger railroad is due.
EVENING SESSION.
Mr. BARGER called for the reading of abill consoli
dating the State loans.
The Senate had amended this bill so as to allow the
State debt to he paid off in legal-tender notes. The
Bohse refused to agree\o this amendment.
The House is still in session. . .
Tlic United. States Insurance and Trust
... Company,
The committee of the House of .Representatives, ap
pointed to investigate the aflairs of the late United States
InsurahOO and Trust Company, have made their report
to that body;
To the Hon. Spealce)\ and Members of the Mouse of
Representatives :—The committee appointed under the
foil owing resolution* to-wit:
“On motion of Mr. Moore, the memorial of Hugh F.
Kennedy was referred to a select committee of five, with
authority.to investigate the circumstances of the failure
ot the United Scates Insurance, Annuity, and Trust
Compaq, with autliority to send for persons afld pa
pers, ” beg leave to make the following seport:
From a preliminary examination, held bn the 26th of
bopiember, R. Crawford, president of this institution, it
appears it was yieorporated in ISSO, with , all the privi
lfges of an insurance, annuity, and trust company. At
this examination your committee were unable to obtain
the information they were seeking, and which, after
disclosed testimony of other witnesses, led your com
mittee to believe he could fully disclose, jour commit
tee, therefore,'subsequently issued subpoenas two seve
ral times to compel his attendance before them, but
owing to alleged sickness on his part on one occasion,
and the inability of the sergeant-at-arms to find him
on another occasion, were excluded from the benefit of
certain facts which your committee only hope to explain
by them.
• James E. Hunter, secretary and treasurer of this in
stitution, was next examined. It appears that he be
came teller in : ISSG, and in 185 S became secretary and
treasurer, and so continued until the company made an
assignment, in October, ISG2. VAt the time of the assign
ment the- directors were. Stephen R. Crawford, James
Devereux, Paul B; Goddard, M. D., Alexander C. Hart,
M. D.-, Patrickßi’ady, Thoma3T. Lea,. B. W. Tingley,
D. Frank ; Jackson, . Daniel Birdleman, and George
Junkm, Jr. . .
At a subsequent examination, he stated that the liabi
lities of the company would amount to about $150,000; that
at the assignment the company had in its vaults but about
three or four huDdred.dollars in cash, which, together
with Dills* receivable, stocks and mortgages, amounting
to about $145,000. were turned over to the assignee,- Geo.
W. Walleston, Esq. Mr. Walleston, the assignee, on his
examination, stated? that - these assets consisted of pro
tested notes and stocks, which, are worthless, among
which are claims against agents of this company in the
Confederate States, amounting to $15,0000r $16,000.
Hugh F. Kennedy, the memorialist, "and a depositor
inthis : company, testified that they owed him- $1,508.
He commenced depositing in ISSS. and -the balance due
him at the time of the assignment was as above stated.
This amount he frequently demanded from the com
pany, even as early as May, l&Sl. and from time to time
afterwards up until the time, of the assignment. The
president and treasurer, by one and another excuse, put
him off, alleging their inability then to pay, while, from
the testimonj' of one of the directors of-the institution,
thecompany were :in the monthly receipt of large sums
of money from liferinsurance policies :
Mr.. Kennedy-rfurther testified that, Bince this exami
nation of your committee fits been progressing, Mr.
Crawford, the president, of the company, offered to pay
him the sum oF eight hundred and eignty-five dollars,
and that Mr, Kunkel. of Harrisburg, attorney for said
Crawford, proposed fifteen hundred dollars in tbe face
of all the certificates of deposit held by the said Kennedy
against said company, provided that he would agree and
consent that the examination should cease. Mr. Ken
nedy refused to accede, and repudiated any control,
direct or indirect, over the committee. . • / •
; >"Wm. R-. Goodwin, one-of the directors; >
he became a-director- atfhe. time of .of
.ihe continued 1 until-I860; 'He .stated
Aneet in grof v
r thiStfhe;bn§liLesss,C ; tha ; coinpatiyiWSS- leftatynbst';
presideaf&nditreasurer:
' debtea to the same. That the money
from the company, was; loaned to him by the president
without any consultation, with the directors. • That the
_ company dabbled largely in stocks.
Thomas T. Lea, a-director, testified- that he. attended,
no meeting of. the Board-after July, 1869, yet his name '
appeared as otse -of the directors up to the time of the
•failure of the company.' At- the first meeting of-tlle.
’ Board that he attended: hp expressed his - dixseuHo the
high rate of .interest'ths company was paiyia-g to. deposi
tors, which made.thein make loans of. a risky character
to.make up tlie 'rite 'oMnterest and-pay esrpease'*.- He
. testified, further, that the management of rha affairs of
the company were left to Mr. Crawford and Mr. Hun
ter; they received deposits and made loans, and the
statements made by tlmm were taken to:he true without
any further examination by the Board.
..Mr. D. W. Boileau testified as to the liabilities' of the
company being $159,210, or thereabouts.
Seine of tho directors were allowed to have-money out
of the institution upon their own note, without giving
any security whatever for the return of the- same; the
result of which is that they are indebted to the.company
to this day ffrr the same. The sole control and 1 manage
ment of this concern was almost entirely left to the presi
dent anil treasurer.' Babbling in stocks with the money
. deposited by honest and, in many cases, poor depositors,
appeared to be the mania with the executive ofheers,
regardless of the consequences to those most deeply in
- tosrested. Notwithstanding the attorney expressed liis
doubts of their as early as 18Rt yet we find
them continuing to-receive* money ou deposit ana on
Mfe insurance policies wp until within a day or
two of the assignment - in' November, 91862. Judg- :

, and September, 38<n> to-the amount oF $12,2Ji.65; in

; and in the Court of Com-mcm Pleas an® SttjMreine Court
i $4,00' more. Taking this: fact: into con«'d'Bration, your
committee cannot hut think that the directors, having
given :tlie affairs, of thSs company :no attention before,-
; should have got their-eyes open as to- tohe true condition-:
ofthesame, nod insisted upon winding up theconcern in
’ or;der that some little - of the assets might goto the credi

The h T ew York of to-daysays;
Yesterday and to-day we have again had the most
active oscillations of gold unresponded to by the slight
est movement in the stock market. The impotence of
fold in produce fluctuations in the prices of stocks
aving thus been so constantly and so obviously proved
on innumerable occasions, it is beginning to be ques
tioned in Wall street whether, as precious metals are
now demonetized; the premium on gold represents, even
approximately, the depreciation of the carrency.
The market opened steady for Governments; there is
less inquiry, but prices are firm. We observe a general
want of animation in the whole of this morning’s busi
ness.' •
In miscellaneous stocks we observe transactions in
Canton Company at 23, in Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company at 126@126%, in Pennsylvania Coal Company
at 11G@117, and in Cumberland preferred at 22. The
last-named stock, for reasons which we indicated a few
day s ago, is rising in value.

Gold, at an early hour, started at 158; the highest
point iv ached this morning, after some brisk move
ments, stands, as we go to press, at 156. ,
Exchange is dull, and 170 is the asking rate. Hut the
few transactions which are taking place are at lower
-figuies. ' '' ,-.
The loan market is extremely easy, and the chief-diffi
culty seems to be to find really first class borrowers.
There are bow large balances seeking investment, which
are offering below bank rates. Some lenders continue,
with the old line of customers, to get 6 cent., but there
is more money to be had at 5@5% than csyi be absorbed.
The prevailing opinion seems to be that during the con
tinuance of the war it is best for the country that money
should be easy, as this state of things keep 3 trade brisk,
and makes the people easy in paying their taxes.

A ©beat Sewing Machine Depot.—
We invite attention to the Sewing Machine esta
blishment of Messrs. Taggart & Farr, northeast cor
ner of Ninth aad Cherry streets, the card of which
onr readers will find in another column of The Press
this morning. We have examined, in operation, the
instruments which they Bell—the “ Sloat” Machine,'
with .glass preseer foot, new style hemtner,
. braider, and other valuable improvements, and the
celebrated “ Taggart & Farr” Machine—and are
therefore prepared to recommend them to the largest
confidence, and moat extended patronage of our
readers. Indeed, their “ Sloat” machinemay be re
garded as the model sewing machine extant. The
very finest and most difficult sewing, both plain and
fancy, is executed upon it with the greatest facility,
while at the same time it has no superior for heavy
sewing. The recent improvements made in this in
strument are really invaluable, and place it among
the best Sewing Machines .given - to the public.
Fricks Advancing. Tliere was more
activity exhibited in the various departments of
trade yesterday than there had been for several
weeks, and in nearly all kinds of goods;prices are
advancing. This is true in everything, excepting W.
W .Alter T s ‘ superior -Xiwiiiglx'-djoal, whicifijfijitill sell-.
ing at the same reasonable prices, although, the up
ward tendency in the prices of other commodities
induced a great rush at his yard, yesterday, Ninth
street, above Poplar. Now is the time to lay in a
stock of coal for the season at this well-known old
establishment.
gTins is the Season to order your
Srms Suit, and O. Somers & 625 Cheßt-_
nut street, under Jayne’s Hall is the; place to; buy
them. These gentlemen present advantages to buy
ers not equalled by any other house in this city.. -
Being large dealers in, and importers of. cloth goods
of every description,' they are enabled to sell cheaper
in the first place than Olothiers generally, and the
artists employed in their cutting department stand
at the head of their profession. Their new styles of
Spring garments are universally popular tyith gen
tlemen of taste,' ' . " .
Spanish Olives. — The proprietors of the
store .of the late C. H. Mattson, Arch and Tenth,
dealers in fine family groceries, have no w in store a
fresh invoice of Spanish Olives, by the gallon and
bottle; also a fine assortment of French Olives, and
French Mustards, to which we invite the attention
of our readers.
\ New Stiles Spuing Bonnets.— Messrs,
Wood & Gary, the. large importers and manufacfcu-’
rers of Bonnets and Millinery Goods, No. 725 Chest
nut street, have jußt added to their elegant stock, in
their Retail Department, a number of exquisite new
Bonnets which need only to be seen to he admired.
The Best-Fitting Shirt op the Age
is the “ Prize Medal Shirt,” cut by John F. Taggart,
-and sold by Mr. George Grant, at his &ent J B For
nishing Store, No. 610 Chestnut street.
- Fine Military Trappings.—The best
assortment of these, for officers in the Army and
Navy, will befound at Oakford &. Son’s, under the
Continental Hotel.
Children's and Misses’ Hats, in best
style and greatest variety, will be found at the popu
lar Millinery Establishment of Messrs. Wood &
Cary, No. 720 Chestnut street.
Messrs. Charles Oakford & Son,
under the Continental Hotel, have now ready their
splendid new Spring Hats and Caps for gentlemen
and youth.
- In selecting, a Sewing Machine, be sure,
to combine-the ornamental with the useful. A ma-'
chine which will both sew and embroider, is a
petual delight. -The Grover & Baker Machine, 730
Chestnut street, is perfect in both, these; respects.
This is the only machine which both' sews ami eia
‘broiders. - ••
The Affair xn Charleston Harbor.—
We have 4 failed A to capture the rebellious city of
Charleston at the first trial, but we believe it will
surely be accomplished, and draw our comfort from,
the daring and-bravery exhibited by our n&vy in.
this short but terrific conflict, with guns and" metaX
to contend with that would have sunk the whole-I’* 1 ’*
British fleet at Sebastopol. Our ships manoeuvred^-;
delivering their well-directed fire with no confusioiv,
nntil-ordered to desist. 'VYe have lost the Keokuk, ”
but-the rebels did not'gefc the. Devil. A friend sug
gests that he tf wished.they had.” While in - circled
of war men are preparing for new conquests, we ih.

.where preparations are going on on a most extensive*
