Governor Cuhtix, jn’view of the exigency of
the public service, has suggested to the President a
plan of garrisoning the defences of Washington with
militia, that the veteran soldiers now in that de
partment tnight be spared for more important and
pressing duties in the field. To this end, he offered
to forward here twenty thousand militia, and asked
■ that about five 1 thousand volunteers, who have Had
the necessary experience be distributed • among the.
militia, to render the latter force equivalent for alt
practical purposes, to the same number of volun
teers sent to the field. It is riot known whether
this patriotic offer has been accepted, but it riieets

There lvasa mutiny on General Ellet’s flag-boat,
Autocrat, ..on, the. Mississippi, a few days since.
After several: hours’ confinement and fasting, the
mutineers sent a committee of three from their com
pany to intercede with General Ellet for their re
lease ; but the General sent them word that they
should remain iti irons until they were court mar
tialed, and that if death was awarded they should
be shot. He also added that, sooner than allow a
mutiny to go unpunished aboard one of his .vessels,'
he would blow her tip with every boul aboar d, not
counting his own life anything in the effort to main
tain that perfect discipline, without which an army,
or any portion of it, was utterly useless to the cause
and to the country.

Gen. Burnside has caused the arrest of two young
ladies for giving aid and comfort to the enemy in
Kentucky. Their names are Miss Fanny Battles,

lessons in the Science of War.
: It. may seem to show a lieartless, calcula
ting spirit, lint nevertheless we find our
selves earnestly discussing the scientific re
sults of the battle ot Charleston, before (lie
smoke has fairly rolled away. Mr..'Erics
son, with a personal interest in the subject,
has hurried into print with an excusable
anxiety to give us his theories about theper
fonnance.of the iromclads, their compara
tive invulnerability, ahd tbe truths we have
learned' from their ill-success. According,
to Mr. Ericsson our repulse possesses all
the 'substantial results of a victory. We
are advised to thank the commanders of the
iron-clads for their ineffectual gallantry,
and to look upon Admiral Dupont's attack
ass' the most important event in naval
history ; and we are consoled with the in
forination that “tlie history of war may be
searched in vain for; an instance of such,
costly preparations,*, kept: up at such vast
expenditure's, as Charleston now requires to
waid off the blow from half a dozen small
. vessels, manned, provisioned, and coaled at
less :cost than an ordinary first-class screw
ship.”
Jit is natural that Mr. Ericsson should;
feel a deep interest' in an invention which
lias given him world-wide notoriety, ■' and
may give him enduring fame. The people
who believe in nothing'but success may not
be disposed to find in the. cold sentences of
tliis distinguished engineer the comfort that
a triumphant despatch from Admiral Du
pont would have occasioned; hut, at the
same time, it is as well for us to look over
the reports of the great fight, and see what
light we have obtained from our discomfi
ture. ..Perhaps we shall profit in the encl by
our stern experiences that we have met’and
borne* so philosophically ; for. the : lessons
they .teach us in the science of war will have
an application and -a value as long as our
liberties are worth struggling for, and our
national existence is. worth preserving from
decay. Such of these lessons as immedi
ately suggest themselves we shall proceed
to record. ,
In’ the first place, the engagement in
Charleston harbor establishes beyond ques*
tion the superiority of the turret principle in
the cohstrnction of iron-clad vessels-of-wai:
The first test of the Monitor in Hampton
Roads was satisfactory as far as it went,
but it was not as rigid as scientific men could
have desired, and left’ several important
problems to be solved. Could the monitors
approach sufficiently close to Fort Sumpter
to engage it with any hope of breaching;its
walls, and yet withstand the terrific con
centric fire to which they must be exposed
: from Cummings’ Point, Fort Wagner, Fort
Moultrie, and battery Beauregard ? This was
the question which Admiral Dupont was
called upon to solve. He was called upon
to undertake one of the most important and
hazardous experiments that could he ima
gined; yet,-undeterred by the risks to which
his individual reputation must necessarily
be exposed, or by a sense, of the vast re
sponsibility. 'resting;on his efforts,, he accept
ed the tinstunfalteringly. How satisfactorily
it was ciischargecl airy report "of the-'engage
ment will reveal. The monitors were order
ed to approach within six or eight hundred
yards of Sumpter. They approached jvithin
four hundred yards, maintained their posi
tions for two hours, breached the northeast
ern face of the fort badly, and, night having
. set in, retired leisurely, without having been
penetrated through any portion of tJteir won
plating by the three thousand shot and shell
rained down upon them from innumerable
batteries.. Never before was the impenetra
bility of armor-plating exhibited so clearly
or by such a fearful test; and now it is es
tablished that the monitors are unequalled
by any war-vessels afloat in their capacity
to resist an enemy’s fire.
It Iras been demonstrated, in tire second
place, that offensively the monitors are
more effective than mailed vessels of a
larger, class, .the armaments being' .equal;
while a single .one of them could accom
plish , as - much work:- as a -whole, armada of
wooden ships.. Thus, the seven monitors,
- mounting hut fourteen guns in all, did more.
; damage to Foil Sumpter than the.lronsides,.,'
with her eighteen guns. They .did not get ;
aground ; they could move around readily’
in-whatever'direetion they chose, selecting
the most eligible points of attack; and they;
could approach some eight hundred yards'
nearer; to i'ort Smnpter, thus virtually .sir
lencing'her harhette guns, and exposing her
quite as much as themselves to the lire of
the land -batteries.;-- Yet they have defects
which require to be remedied. They should
be- provided, with a mpre‘"efiacient arma
ment, so.arranged that a shot might he fired
from each gun at least once in every five
minutes. ,If they had fired a total of three
hundred rounds of ammunition, in Tues
day's engagement, instead of : a meagre
huhdred and fifty,' it is quite possible.that
Fort Sumpter would have been in our pos
session to-day. Again, the bolts by which
their armor is attached to the' frame need
to.be fastened,in some more effectual man
ner, ,so,that they will .not ‘‘ fly ” so readily.
Nearly every casualty in the late engage
ment was dire-to this cause. These are .de
fects that- may be easily remedied; but until
rc-inedied, tliey detract from the offensive
powers of the vessels.
Another lesson taught us by tire recoil
noissance of Admiral- Dupont is. this: no
number of land batteries, however formi
dable or judiciously located, can guard a
. harbor against the entrance of an iron-clad
vessel. It was not the terrific fire of the
rebel works that prevented our reaching
Charleston, and postponed the downfall of
•that city. The bright sheets of flame,
the dense billows of smoke, the deafening
roars of the artillery, so vividly described
by sentimental correspondents, actually
amounted to nothing. A historical drama
was enacting, and a' little thunder was
necessary for- due stage effect; but that was
not the main difficulty. • It was the' triple
line of obstructions thrown across the chan
nel -from Fort Sumpter to Moultrie, that
-rend wed our retirement a matter of neces
sity. If we could have passed these ob
• stacles, the forts would have been ours
. without the firing of another gun, as was
the case at New Orleans. Failing to pass
them, wc plight have battered every fort to
brick-dust,' and would still have failed to
' capture Charleston. - . , ,
: From this fact the inference-is clearly de
riyabl e that the expedition was lacking in the
main essential to success—viz: an appliance;
for ihe removal of the harbor obstructions.
Months ago such an appliance was invented
by Captain EnicssiMj.. experinrented-.jwith.'
iniN'e-w and found capable of
accomplishing the desired purpose. -The
main feature: of it was an immense torpedo,
filled with six hundred pounds of powder,
suspended from a raft, to ’be attached to the
bow of the vessel. ..The commanders of
the iron clads, ’one and jail, declined- to test
its utility in the attack of Tuesday, mainly
for the reason that it was’ “ an experiment.’.’
True, Commander Fodgfus, -of the Wee
hawken, allowed the raft to be attached to
bis-vesselj but refused to countenance the
torpedo in any shape. Therefore, the
har bor obstnictions were not cleared away,
and the fleet was compelled to.-retire: Mr. ■
Fur ceson ’ s torpedo-remover may" or may .

in. Charleston harjror, but some such device :
is : necessary to accomplish -this before the

or even-extraordinary, and tliere is certainly

1 -Finally, we arrive at the deduction thak

bear against-iron-clads ; and it seems that

evident that only the very full, of the

A second shot of the rsame kind, the same
weight, -and fired with the same charge,
struck the upper plate of the target oii an
uninjured part, and about .12 inches from its
edge. It completely smashed away a piece
about 15 inches: deep, by 18 or .20/wide,
splintering and ripping-, up the bucking
behind. One piece of the plate, ;*f con
siderable weight, was carridcPfar beliind-tUe :

The Times adds: “The tria l /seemed to

armor pinlcs, and, on the other hand, to
strengthen the beKef.that the best, form for
this purpose may, after all,; and with proper
metal, ! be ‘found lio be .the conical form
adopted by Sir 'William Armstrong.”
There is every reason to believe that these
were the'shot fired from Forts Moultrie and *
Beauregard with such effect,- sinking the
Keokuk - and temporarily crippling the mo
nitors, when rouhcl -Shot i and shell, would -
have proved harmless against the latter.
These seem to bo the main questions of
scientific interest that have been settled con
clusively by the late recpniioissan.ee in force
—for such it was in . fact,, whether "mainly
undertaken I ,as such or n’ot. Numerous other
points of information, scarcely less valuable,
have been gained, but they Have been enu
merated by the special, correspondent of The
Press, who accompanied the expedition,
and it is needless to repeat them. Collec
tively, they serve to establish the fact that
- Cliaricston can be taken by the monitor fleet
alone, if means of removing the harbor ob
structions are provided and employed. In
fact, vye :do not so much need guns, and
■large fleets and extensive armies, as a little
of the inventive genius of the country di
rected in the right channel and earnestly
applied. •
The Greek finest ion.
It is understood that before proposing
Prince William of Denmark as a candidate
for the throne of_Greece, England obtained
the consent of France to his nomination.
What Russia will thilik of it appears un
known. It must be remembered that Russia
would never have permitted Prince Alfred
to reign in Greece. His sovereignty there
would give England more preponderance in
the Southeast of Europe than can be pleasant
for Russia. The contest in the Crimea,
though it checked the inroads and thwarted
the designs of Russia upon Turkey, only
postponed both. The policy of Russia is to
extend its empire until Constantinople shall
be.its capital in the South of Europe, as-St.
Petersburg is in the North... When Petek the
Great died, his -will, was deposited in the
archives oftlie palace ; of : Peterhoff,-near St.-
Petersburg. Copies of: this' document yyere
duplicated, Land, ihein.autheritieify.lias ’ not
been challenged. That remarkable person,
tjlie. Chevalier d’Eon obtained a copy, when
he was at St.,Petershlirg, in 1757, . and trans
mitted it to the Abbe nr.: Bernir,- who was
tlicn. foreign minister to Louis XV.; in
Paris. In-tids doenment he traced the future'
policy of the -great' nation, which had
emerged from barbarism under the power
of his genius and ambition. • The absorption
of Poland, suggested, half a century ere it
took place, was one of his special directions;
the conquest of Turkey was.ancther ; a third
was named in the following words:“ We
must collect around our house, as round a
centre, all the detached sections of, Greeks,
which are scattered abroad in . Hungary,
Turkey, and; South Poland;-we must make
them look to us for support; and thus l>y
establishing beforehand a sort of eeclesiasti- -
cal snpiemacy, we shall-pave the way for
universal sovereignty.”
British influence.in Greece, which maybe
greatly extended by the cession of the lonian
Islands, would be such a decided blow to
the; hereditary designs of Russia that one
may safely doubt, whether the Czar will
permit the Danish Prince -to accept the
crown.' He'has the right of veto, and really
the having the brother of the Prince of
Wales, or his brotlier-in-law, as King of
Greece, is rather a distinction than a differ
ence. There may be a compromise, per
haps. There is a whisper of the Czar’s
granting an amnesty to Poland, and of re-'
storing its nationality by re-erecting it into
a sovereignty, with an acceptable Eranco-
Russian prince as King, owning the Czar as
his sovereign. The Duke of Leuchtenberg
is nephew to ,the Czar and, through the Em
press Josephine of France, cousin to Na
poleon 111. His being placed as ruler over
Poland would be satisfactory not merely to
France and Russia, but to the whole of Eu
rope.
Should the young Danish Prince (Danish
only by adoption, for he is German by birth
and . descentJ be - allowed to ascend the"
throne of Greece, it is intended that,’ during
his' minority, he shall govern through a
Council of Regency. The young man will
not have completed his eighteenth year
until next Christmas eve. It really seems
absurd to place the fortune of a Kingdom
i'ir the hands of such a mere lad., It is
absurd, also, to'give Greece such a costly
r uler as a King. The country is terribly in
debt, and the moie suitable, as well-as least
costly, form of government for Greece
would have been a Republic. Against this,
however, though the Greeks anxiously, de
sire it, the.combined sovereignties of Europe
have the most decided objections. Greece
has Hobson’s choice—a kingly ruler or,
none.

THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, APRIL 18. 1863,
The affair at Charleston is the opening of
the new campaign.- ' An isolated unff'erlaking,
and without any possible effect on ]Ute general
strategy of the, Avar, the failure fs little
more than a verdict of science- -against u's.
I am glad that Mr. Ericsson thinks otherwise,
but the world-will probably accept results
for. theories, ajid decide agajnst him. ' The.
moral -effect 6f such a misfortune is also’-ito be 1
considered, after all, the opinions
of the world seem to be so fixed aiid partial,
that moral effect is a mere term of etymo'-
: lngy. .We have had additional reason to be
proud of (Tur navy, and. out of the glhoni
and smoke that enveloped Fort Suuipterytliat
noble branch of the service hjis pome -forth,
with glory. Charleston,.as.,l'have said*- is
the opening of the new-, ahd.’cisjinany think”'
■ the lihaicampaign.-The strategy
two years has 1 * had the' effect of-redueino'
concentrating,- eliminating, theextendedfleld
of our military operations. That ingenious
' writer, Mr. Sclmik, whose, theories on the
.art of war have created so 1 much attgjn-'
tion, makes it- the axiom- of all his denion
strations,.that.the true-purpose of war isTto
break, up and demoralize tho opposing;
armies. .Annihilate the military pciver of
the South'-and ~allelse will come after, for
the country is-so exhausted that another
sumy is an -impo'ssibility, .andyt must-sink
helpless at our feet. This is ike point to
which everything is .now lendings Mew
heni, Port Royal, Key West, and ISfew'Or
leans are little 1 more tliah; blockading sta
tions. They may lie taken and -.retaken
witbout affecting the game. They aire-tljo
smaller pieces with, nominal valueS-mthe
king is at !Riphnipnd r: ahd there lie must he
checkmated. Taken in- tlieir general re
sults, we have not had as<yet a sucdbssfu!
expedition. . These expeditions ,ha\'eibeeh
mere incisions in the flesh—a vein -or two
was severed—the blood came forth—buhthe’
life was untouched. We .must ahhaldpniexi-'
petitions that merely have an agricultural-"
social, or commercial purpose,-and give our
soldiers And sailors mere ciiances-fiw
without doing anything toward the grind;
result. We must concentrate ourselves Add
in ove a gainst th e life of the rebellion. It seems’,
to invite us. " Vicksburg, Chattanooga,-and?
Richmond are the three remaining heads of
the;hydra,—and when they are stricken the'
monster dies. Grant menaces Vicksburg,
—Eosccrans holds the line of the Cumber
land, ’and protects fiie
looks proudly;, on. Richmond. . We must
crash these armies 'before Ave think of .vic
tory. It is possible that the armies of Vicks-,
burg and Chattanooga may unite, ankthrawf
ing themselves on Rosecrans, boat, hint and
General Grant in detail. That is a contin
gency against which these generals must;pro
vide; although when I heard the recent ru
mors of the evacuation of Vicksburg. by the
rebels, I felt apprehen sire. In the East,, we
. have the .great army at Riclimond. Our
military-men-are speculating upon.its future !
movements. Will it retreat or r'eceiye battie?
It seems to: he certain that General .Hooker'
will not offer battle'under 'the heiglrfs of
.Fredericksburg, making, tliat. memongfio
, plain another Aceldama- fdr'the nat-iihtal
army. It- is not. probable that the rebels'will?
accept battle in any other position, aud'rtyfi‘ :
may therefore expect our advance or tlieir
retreat-, and probably a hew’ campaign lipon
an interior Tine of operations. ' General
Hooker, however, is not a man to dwell
long upon interior lines of operation.; He
neither .digs, nor-permits otlierslto cSg, .and
having unearthed Lee out of his present
hiding-place, there will be an earnest cliasfc
and fierce Avork, before he is permitted to fin&
another cover. .These seem to be the ge
neral features, of the new:campaign. It is
, not for me.-to predict, nor to teach. HonS'
■can control the uncertain..eliannes of AVgr,
and we must content ourselves yuth hoping, ■
comforting; anchstsmding together,,

days and pleasant 'skies—ibis gentle, sun? 1
that smiles upon struggling nature as -it
: comes forth to gladden the-earth—all thescl ■
tokens of a genial and fdrtite"spring predict -:
the speedy oiiening of a new campaign. It;
is strange that so much beauty should biy ;
the harbinger of .blood;:but w:e regarddffi

affair at Charleston,” said a.rebel journalist
a few days ago, “will soon be lost in the.

I vestment of the City—Proclamation, of
Washington, Thursday, April 16, 1863.—Semi
official advices^'to the 23d-of'March, have been re
ceived here from the city of'Mexico. The reports
thabthe French had defeated General Oomonfort
and had capf u redone v orthe gates'of Puebla are not
confirmed? 'The French Had, however, invested the
city, having taken possession of the. hill called
Amalocan, which 1 commands the road to Vera Oruz,
andis about three miles from the .nearest Mexican"
fort, and some-four miles from Puebla itself;; and of
the hill San-Juan, commanding the road to the city* l
of Mexico,.lees than two'?miles from the nearest
Mexican fort, and a Ijttl? jpore than two milea
-fiom ? >'V .. - v
' The outposts of the French on the San Juan side
extended to the river Atoyac, the bridge over which,
at the Molino del Baton, they had seized.
: General Coinonfort’s forces \yere beyond the-river
toward the city of Mexico, his outposts coming
within half a mile of the French. He had been re
hll'orced by three brigades from the capital, one of
which wa&.coffimanded by Sehor Mata, recently the
Mexican minister at Washington.
On the' night of JheT2fst 'of March.,!,soo cavalry,
left. Puebla to co-operate with Oomonfort, ‘
■ The ? only? fighting. worth notice that had taken
place, was on March 22, when a skirmish occurred
between C-ob Q.uilroago, commanding the advance
of GefirCohionfort’a division, and a French force.
The latter finally retired, leaving in' the hands of the
Mexicans 15 Arabian horses. Nothingis said of the
number of killed or wounded on either side,
j The Mexicans in excellent spirits, and
confident of success, iii case of an attack upon their
lines at Puebla, which General C?. r^ ea feared may
not take place, believing the FrenclTtbo weaic tC
venturejt -with their present force.
rßeseriers continued to go over to the Mexicans in
considerable n umbers.
The fortifications of Puebla were. deemed very
strong, consisting of an outer line of twelve forts
and an inner line.of smaller works, principally con
vents. ? -
President Juarez.has issued the following address
to the Army of Puebla :
Citizens Benito Jiiarcz , Constitutional President of the
Republic, to the At'my of the East: ■
■*’ Soldiers ! The enemy,'abandoning at last the
inaction into which you have compelled him to
change his arrogance,, preparing to comply with
.your most earnest wishes, is approaching this city,
which bears a . name as illustrious for you as it is
disgraceful for the invaders of our country, (refer
i ring to the.hame of Zaragoza, given to Puebla after
■-the. Mexican who defeated tbe French, May 5,1862.)
■ ThusV 'the Emperor Napoleon 111. insists on
making a people: who have shown its sympathies
•with.the French feel the horrors •of war. The con
‘ science of-aIT civilized nations-has severely con
demned this invasion-for its miserable pretexts, and
c\ en more miserable: tendencies. The Government
oi the Emperor does not demand justice, whioh>he
had refused. That to which he' really aspires is to'
..humiliate us; to destroy a free and popular Repub
lic, in which the.privileged classes have been com
pletelyput down.
Soldiers l. The Republic founds her hopes upon the
intrepidity of your hearts more than upon the for
tresses that surround the city. The country has sent
you here as. the first to combat, and defend her honor,
her: independence, and her glorious destinies. To
show once more to her unjust and perfidious invaders
s that Mexico is grand, free,-and worthy of being so,
; whatever -a handful bf vißionaiy speculators and
* traitors may plot.
? Soldiers.’ through'yourdangers you areaboutto win
imperishable glory ; to repulse the proud soldiers of
France. The example of your past deeds, of the sth
.of May, is enough. Mexico, the continent of Ame
rica, and the freemen of all nations rally to you, for
you are to defend their cause—the cause of liberty,
of humanity, and of civilization. Go, then, to oecu

thf .Jieathen generally, and niore particularly in the
Chinee, is in the frequent habit of publishing letters
having reference to the propagation of the Gospel
among that nation. In order to give* these letters a
wide circulation, the editor also frequently issued -
to the sympathetic Christian world of,Eng
lun&to subscribe for a large number of copies. The
Sai-ilrfiay Itcviciv insinuated that the primary, object

CSpecial Correspondence of The Press. 3
Nisw York, April 17,1863.
THE “PETERHOFF” CASE ' f
is pretty near a settlement; the Prize Commis
sioners have heard all the evidence required, and
will report to the court in a few days whether the
British steamer “Peterhoff” is, or is not, in their
judgment, a lawful prize to the United States ac
cording to the international usage. In the interim,
it will do no harm to speculate a little upon the
known facts of the case ; and basing their con
clusion upon these facts, a majority of people, I find,
entertain very little doubt that, the “ Peterhoff”.
will be returned to the British, with an allowance
of all the claims for damages tacitly admitted by the
act of surrender. The refusal of the ' authori
ties at -Washington permit the mail of the
captured vessel to be opened and examined
by the Commissioners is regarded aB pretty con
“vcfußiye evidence, that our Government has little
faith in the legality of the seizure, and desires to
make amends for the supposed rash action of Com
, modore Wilkes with as little circmnlooufcion as pos
sible. Had the openingof the mail-bag been permit
ted, it might either have revealed ample justification
oi the capture, independently of the other suspicious
circumstances about the cargo and passengers.of; the
steamer; or it might have so completely cleared her
of all suspicion of being contraband, as to make the
aforesaid extraneous suspicious circumstances of
no account whatever. There was a decided iißk in the
case, which our Government dqeß not think it worth
while to incur,without a palpable justification there
for—a justification not to be found in'the other indi
cationsof the vessel’s character. Leaving the mail
altogether out of the argument, there can be no.
doubt that the;legalifcy of the seizure is a matter of
serious question; and the fact that there is any.
question at all about it, is equal to an admission :
that the Peterhoff will be' turned-over to Lord
Lyons if he demands her.., The c case is almost an
exact parallel with the Trent-affair. Indeed, that
precedent would settle it at once, without the least
extra formality, but for,a single point of difference,
which may give Secretary Seward an opportunity
to snub "Earl Russell with another of his dex
terous letters on international law and equity.

.there is not a liner, or; frigate, that could not
be rammed, riddled, and wrecked by the;? Roa
noke iii half an hour. But if the “Peterhoff”
case is an unavoidable peccavi , what is the use
of anticipating trouble with the beefeaters? .What
is the use, even, of that elaborate article of calcula
tions and computations in which a copp.erhead news-,
paper demonstrates, tchday, that the whole military
force of England’s regular army,rifle volunteers, East
Indian and Canadian militia, constabulary, Green

strikes me, however,that the super-extra horror of a
foreign war, displayed by so many people nowadays,
is, rather a childish affectation. ; This oountryis now
all armed, provisioned, and revenued for war of any
Uimensionß and every avenue'. ' As the’ same dishes -

.into action by this great Southern rebellion of ours
would serve as easily, and with ; scarcely more ex

with the great rebellion on his .hands, Uncle Sam ia
now better able to whip lion than he
ever was before, or may ever- be again; and if we
must have a war with either-England or Francs, be
fore the century is out, it is hetterfor us all that it
should come now, while, we have our hands in. Let
the Government bear this in mind; and not put up
with too much ihsolence from the foreigner.
A LITERARY “BRITISH OFFICER,” ‘

crinolines was. ruthlessly captured' by .the Federal

protest against?:, such an outrage on humanity in-a
special letter, to Minister Adams, then has Britain’s
itching “ Pam” forgotten hiß former humane self.

A SAB ACCIDENT
occurred, yesterday afternoon, at an establishment
in Broadway where they make artificial flowers.
Two young ghls, employed in the business, were
having a; romp together on the fifth floor of the
building, and, by some aceident, fell through the
“ fall;” or trap^way, into the cellar—a terrible dis
tance—and were almost instantly killed. The mat
ter is being investigated by the coroner to-day.
Public Entertainments.
Assembly Buildings —Mr. E. J. White, the
popular agent of the Bohemian Glass Blowers, re
ceives a benefit this evening. This will be the last
performance of a very eßjoyabie’troupe of wonder
makers. They will give a brilliant exhibition, and
distribute more presents than ever, .
Blitz.— lt is to be regretted that this will be the,
last evening of Signor Blitz’s season of magic. He
is so great a favorite with everybody; so" delightful
an entertainer to the little folks j such a genius of
good humor and sprite of wonderment, that we shall
miss.him greatly. ':The‘ Signor wishes to retire for
awhile,-and thejthpusands who like him. will help
him to retire, like a prudent merchant, upon capital.
:Classical.Soihebs.— The last-soiree of the sea
son of Messrs. Cross & Jarvis will be given this
evening. In the programme we notice a ; sonat'a"by,
; song scene by Spohr j a; concerto by
Chopin, and a quartette of Haydn—all' very choice
impressive compositions, whose performance
will afford.abundant variety for appreciative jnuai
■- cal pleasure. This programme will be ably rendered
„by a number of our best musicians—Gaertner, Cross,
Jaryis, Schmitz, and Greim. :.,Their intelligent
execution of great works has been highly creditable'
to their culture, and valuable to the best class of
those who hear music. A public rehearsal wifi
be also'given by Messrs. Cross &. Jarvia this;day, at
twelve o’clock, at the Foyer of the Academy.
(Musical Fund Hall,— Last evening a concert,
under the auspices of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul of St. Joseph’s Church, took place at^the.Musi
cal Fund Hall. . The audience was appreciative
and large,•'and the performance displayed' taste and
talent.
. Tree Wonncls*
Young and vigorous trees, when injured or wound
ed, soon begin to heal oMhemselves,. and-initime the
layers
. of albernum that each year forme and co n vert a into
wood, . Very many of these wounds, however, will
heal overa greatdeal quiekerif a little care be taken
in cutting away any dead wood or projecting splin
ters, and covering the wounded-part by some.compo
sition,. bucK 1 as grafting clay or grafting wax, or with
a plaster of mortar made of slackcd-lime, sand and
pulverized burnt bones, or even by a* plaster of hy
draulic lime.
Any one who passes through an orchard that has
been subject to the common tomahawk pruning, will
lea rn a good many lessons of nature hr regard to her
'■ efforts to 1 heal up and heal" over the wounds‘‘that
have been inflicted. * You will see that*where a.limb
has been cut down smoothly or level, or even with
the body from whichat iB v started, nature;- 1 in a year
or two, has closed it up, leaving on a neat, compact.
cicatrix;,. But where a stump has been lfeft J atickirig
' opt two or three inches,.you will see the efforts of
nature have been, in one sense, thwarted.' The end
of the Btuipp Btill projects out dry, and'. hard,"while
the several layers of albernum have been laid upon
, the other, and working inward as if endeavoring to
climb.o.ver'and enclose and hide it fro® view; ; If
•" the life and vigor of the tree continues long enough,
this will be accomplished, but an ’many instances it
fails of doiDg it, and thenaked 1 stump-oontrnuesto.
: project for a while as an evidencqTof the folly of the
man who cut it off, and the weather t begins to de
: Btroy it, and decay commences. The wood rots and
; falls.out. and an, unsightly hole or.-cavity is. the re
sult. lesson to.be learned from ifc is_this—cut
. limbs smoothly and even with the body from which"
they_start, and then eover over the wound some
; preparation that will prevent the decay of the wood
exposed, and at the same time allow the layers of
albernum or sap-wood to be lapped on each year by.
; the natural process.
> Oftentimes these unaightly wounda;can be soone
healed by cutting down tne dead ivodd to a level with
:/the bark, or by a gouge, a little below, so that each
successive layer of sap-wood formed after this.shall
roll inward, and close on and over the cut, instead
of having to climb up, as it were, over the projecting
stump before it can' begin to hide th® cut across the
limb. Avery little .observation- and care in. these
matters will soon give one ah insight into the laws
by which.nature operates in her healing process, and
by following nature you can not only prevent much
loss of her I’aluable labor, but c&a even hasten, in
many instances, her labors and:perfect the results

-The Claim Bill.—Tlie-re seems to bo a
great misapprehension in regard to. the military
claim bill now in the hands of.the. Governor.await
ing'hiß’signfttuie, as to the sum of money which the '
bill will disburse. The factrls that the bill itßelf has
fixed a limit to the, pay of.those who will become'
claimants under Hs ! pro\Hsidns, s and that it 'also cuts
out many who were claimants before its passage.
Thus the amount of .money which it will require to 1
liquidate the’claim's to be-settled urider the biil,'will
not be large. But suppose the amount was large-—if
the clftims'made, are Gbvferhm4ntwill hot

The money to be disbursed will hot ebspse out of the

The Atlantic Monthly for May, received from T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, and also from T. B. Pugh,
Chestnut street, contains papers by Miss Pres
cott, Col H. B. Sargent, Oliver 'Wendell Holmes,
the author of “ Margaret Houtb,” Nathaniel Haw
thorne, Louis Agassiz, John G. Whittier, G-ail
Hamilton, D. A. Wasson, and a few writers who
please to be anonymous. The beat article hefe, by
an author of this clbbs, is about Charleß Lamb’s
Uncollected Writings, which are more numerous
thaD many of his admirers have any notion of. One
of these is an amusing mock-biography ofListon, the
actor. Some others are in Hone’sTabl e-Book.
The next best papers are those ijy Holmes,' Agassiz,
and Gail Hamilton. “Up the .Thames,” by Haw
thorne, is a charming souvenir of this great prose
poet’s visit to England.
Tbe April riumber.df the „ American law 'Register
published in this,city, has an unuaually well-written
article on the life and works' of Rufus Choate, the
great New England lawyer. . -
From Mr. Kromer, newspaper and periodical
agent, 403 Chestnut” street, we have the Cornkill
Magazine, and also Temple Bar, for April. The Brat
has fallen off since Mr. Thackeray retired s from its
editorship. The fact is, one-half of the articles in
the Cornkill, Xhie month, are heavy. “ Life in a
Barrack” is very'good. Three new chaptera of Mr.
Trollope’s new novel are pleasant reading. 1 Sir
John Herschel’s “Notes on Science” are valuable,
and “On Alexandrines,” touching the Royal Mar.
riage, reads very much like Thackeray’s. Five new
chapters of “Romola” are as dull as' any corre
sponding quantity of Mrs. Stowe’s “ Agnes of Sor
rento,” and “ AEun Through the Southern States,”
giveii as written by “ an English officer,” reads as if
.it were manufactured to order by some retired.war
correspondent of a rural newspaper.
Temple Bar is much better. Miss Braddon’s new
story, “ John Marchmont’s Legacy,” increases" in
power as well’as-in interest. ' “The Trials of the
Tredgolds” is entitled to the same commendation.
r There are several other stories of more or less
: merit, two sketches ;by G. A. Sala, ~a lively post-,
office tale by Edmund Gates, and a second .paper, in
‘ which law and anecdote are pleasantly blended,
upon 11 Trial-by Jury.” The poetry in these: Eng
lish magazines is much 4 below paE - On the whole,
.though not quite equal to Harper's and the Atlantic
Monthly, we may safely say that Temple , Bar and the
Cornkill Magazine are good periodicals. ' " \ '

/ No other absorbing: topic -offering: this; morning:, .Wall

really ought to be in the present condition of the market.'
The views/expressed are extremely conflicting, because
the data assumed as a basis for calculation vary con-;
siderable. As to-the principles, however, on which the
rise and fall of the premium depends, there is less differ- **
once of opinion. _ Tlie prevailing theory .seems to be,
that to estimate the real value of. gold as compared with,
our currency, two things must be known : First, what
amount of circulation the business pf.the country would
absojb and keep afloat, -wereit convertible at pleasure
into gold Secondly, by wiiat.percentage is this amount
