THE NEWS.
, Sum*; of the Charleston news, by way of New
Yorkin ay- re a b ormbl ybe doubted. The .Post states
that-General Seymour has gone to,Washington, to
urge the removal of Dupont (unpopular with both
soldiers and sailors), as well as the prompt rein*
forcement of Hunter.' This must be regarded as
only a report. Our reliable correspondent at Port
Royal states there has been shown much impatience
for the renewal of the attack, but no difficulty what
ever had occurred between Hunter and Dupont. Ou r
troops still possessed Folly Island—headquarters at
Stono. Our correspondent boarded seven of the
monitors, who made their way to Port jßoyal with
out , help, and affirms that they are not much
damaged—the Weehawken among the rest. On
other authority, it is stated that a countermand,
from Washington, of the attack on Charleston came
too late. Hunter, it is Baid, has not relinquished de
signs of offence.. Captain Worden is of opinion—
and in this many officers concur—that the monitor
lieet is able to batter down Fort Sumpter.
jvThb news which we have received of the opera
tions and immediate designs of the. Army of the
Potomac is somewhat complicated and obscure.
The more authentic intelligence from Washington
conflicts with the various other reports. Thus far,
our only respectable news is to the effect that Stone
man made a rcconnoissance in force, with his caval
ry, to ascertain the' whereabouts of the main body of
Lee’s,army, what force, perhaps, had been Sent to
the Shenandoah, and to cut the Lynchburg railroad
communications. While this operation was taking
place, infantry, well supported, were to have taken
Hurnside’s crossing over the Rappahannock, on
Thursday. The army is in excellent health and
spirits. :
From North Carolina we hear that Foster sue*
ceeded in passing the rebel blockade, and arrived at
Newbein on the loth. General Heckman, with his
brigade from Hilton Head, had been sent to rein
force him. From Suffolk it is* reported that we out
number theenemy, are strongly entrenched, and that
there will be no great battle unless Gen. Peck makes
the advance..
We have important,; news from the Southwest by
rebel despatches to Richmond. Our forces moved
from Lake Providence,on to Vicksburg and Gre
nada. A heavy movement began on Thursday, and
a large fire was seen on that night above Vicksburg,
thought to proceed from.burning Federal trans
ports. This authority admits that our forces pos
sess New Carthage, below Warrenton. ' /
A bill is before the rebel Congress providing for
an election of the members of the next House of
Representatives by. general ticket. If this law
should pass, the Congressmen would be elected in
the same maimer that Presidential electors are now
chosen, the same in'en being voted for throughout
the State. The ot\jeet of changing the law is to
secure a full representation from each rebel State;
whereas, under existing regulations, all Western
Virginia and the three counties on the eastern shore,
together with two districts in North Carolina, three
in Louisiana, three in Tennessee, and one in Flori
da, would be unrepresented, because no elections
could be held in those sections. • ' .
■Every preparation-is making in the Fourteenth
army corps for the impending- battle in the neighbor
hood of Tullahoma, and which cannot much longer
be delayed. • By order of General Roseerans, shelter
tents have been distributed to the army, to be sub
stituted, in case of a movement, for those nowin
use, which are heavy and cumbersome, and difficult
of transportation. The fullest supplies are rapidly
concentrating within easy accessibility, and the
drying up of the roads, now rapidly going on, will be
the signal for a movement on the part of one or the
other of the armies.
Apprehension is felt for the security of New
Orleans. One correspondentdeclares that the rebels v
have 24,000 troopß at Port Hudson, 12,000 at Jack
son, Miss., 15,000 on the Atchafalaya, and 10,000 at
Mobile—making a total of, 61,000 men, who could,
by railroad facilities, be 1 concentrated
Orleans in twelve hours.” In confirmation of the
belief beginning to prevail at New Orleans that that
city is to be attacked by the rebels, persons arriving
there from Mobile have stated that great prepara
tions are going on at Mobile to take Ship Island,
and that troops and transports for the enterprise are
ready and waiting the command to leave.
Orders have been issued by Governor YateSj
under authority of the .War Department, to raise ten
companies of infantry for the purpose of guard, and'
protection of the State of Illinois from ag.
gresaion, to serve for threeyears. The twentythou
sand men for the defence of Kentucky are also Being.
raised, and - a body of troops for the defence of the-
Indiana line, with the troops for the defence of
Missouri, will increase the army nearly 60,000 men, '
The steamship Oahayba, Baker, from Port
Royal, 15th inst., arrived at New York on Satur
day/ April 16, at 2.20 P. M., off Frying Pan Shoals,
passed "the transport J. Morton, with troops, bound
to B.eaufort, N. O. April 17, at 4.30 A. M., forty-five
ing Star, for Havana, all well.. Same day, at
6,30, lat. 36, lon. 44 43, spoke sloop-oi-war Ossipee,
on a cruise, all well. ■---
-The flag that Coi. Miles lowered when he surren
dered Harper’s Ferry to Gen. Jackson, of the rebel
army, has been given to Major.Gen.Robert Schenck,-
who has sent it to the War Department. It was
preserved from rebel pollution by a loyal Irish lady,
Mrs. McKissick, who kept a boarding-house at the
Ferry at the time of the surrender. She kept it
concealed during the rebel occupation among her
skirts, and avoided search by abusing the Yankees.
The rebel dfficers who got so badly whipped at
Somerset, Ky., have been arrested by Confederate
authority, and sent to Knoxville for court martial.
At the Eamc battle, the 7th Ohio Cavalry captured a
flag from Scott’s rebel cavalry, made, from a silk
dresß of-one of- Falstaff Marshall’s daughters, and’
presented by her only about three weeks previous
to its capture. -
The Democratic majority of the Delaware Legis-_
latuce .have passed a tyrannical free-negro law
fining negroes for attending political'meetings or.
for using .fire-arms j forbidding negroes to preach;
or any negro who leaves the State for five days, to.
return under a penalty of $5O fine, or slavery if the
fine is not paid. . There are only 1,79$ slaves in the
State to 110,413 free inhabitants;.
Among the papers found in the rebel privateer
which was captured just as it was leaving San Fran
cisco harbor, wns.an oath in which the party taking
it bound himself by his u honor as a Southern gen- ;
tlemaii” to keep secret,“ even from the wife of his
bosom,” the piratical scheme.- A circular was also
discovered providing for the capture of Benicia and
the two forts com manding San Francisco harbor as
a preliminary to the u desire of every Southern:
man”—the “ withdrawal of California from the now
contemptible Union.”
The following “arrivals,” noticed in the late
Charleston papers, show that the great bombard
ment there attracted many gentlemen of the mili
tary art as spectators: The following officers are at
the MUIb House: General Gustavus W. Smith, Ge
neral James Jones, General D/F/Jamison,
B. Huger and members of his staff, General W. H.
T. Walker: and Blaff, Captain W/F. Lynch, C. N., ;
Generals H. R. Jackson and Augustus R. Wright,
and Colonel E. J. Walker. •
The gold and stock market were rather dull on -
Saturday. Gold fell to 161, closing Isi)£ bid. Stocks
were irregular—some better, some lower. Govern
ments were neglected. Money was very easy indeed
—and was offered everywhere at 5 per. cent. Ex
change closed dull at 166.
One of the men who encouraged the bread riot in
Richmond on the 2d inst, was Dr. Thos. M. Palmer,
who was a member ,I'rom Jefferson county in the-
Florida Convention that took that State out of the
Union. Since the breaking out of the rebellion he
has been in the service of the Confederacy. He is
now a prisoner in Richmond,
Last Friday a skirmish took place near Wa
vcrly, Tennessee, between a party of Federals and
rebels, in which Major Blandon, two captains, a ;
lieutenant, a surgeon, a quartermaster, and fifteen
others of the enemy, were taken prisoners. '
A report was current in Nashville, Tennessee,
on Tuesday night, that General Palmer’s brigade of
Federal troops had engagement on Monday, at
■Woodbury,- with a '-heavy .Confederate' force, and
won a decided victory.
During the recent attack on the train near La
vergne, the rebels killed two of their own commis
sioned.officers, who were prisoners on the cars, and
wounded several rebel privates.
On the Welland Canal there will be no alteration
in the tariff of charges imposed in 1859, except in the
article of wheat, which will be reduced five cents per
ton. On the St. Lawrence canals the rales will be
equalized up and down, and a new classification
made/ As compared with the tariff of 1859, there
will be an average reduction in rates of about twenty
percent.”
, Gten, Foster had with him last week, at Wash

York; and the let North'Carolina Volunteers.
• One day week a man attempted to get outside
of the Federal lines, beyond Murfreesboro, Tenn.
He was hailed by the pickets, but endeavored to es

, The estate of the late Stephen A. Douglas, in
Chicago, has been inventoried at seven hundred
thousand dollars, but there are encumbrances upon

that there is no personal property.
Mich to an has undoubtedly gone Republican in
her late judicial election by a large increase of her
majority last fall. It is probably about 10,000.
The Ohio Legislature has adjourned. Among the
many bills passed was one to provide for taking the
vote of the Ohio soldiers in the army.
Tile Great Demonstration To-day.
In. New York to-day the anniyersary of
the great uprising of the North, in defence
of the Government, will be appropriately
commemorated by an imposing- public de
monstration. . ! Tiie National Union, dub of
Philadelphia, which purposes attending in
a'hody, invites'loyal men, without regard to
party distinctions, to accompany it, and wc
hope that all who can do so without incon
.venierice will participate. We feel con
fident that the deputation,_in point of num
bers, will sustain ,Ae proud reputation our
city everywhere enjoys for devotion to the
cause of the Union.
Magnanimity of American Charity.
The read}' alacrity with which, when Ire
land was desolated by famine, in 1847, the
United States hastened to send liberal relief
to her starring millions, stands prominently
in the history of both countries as a noble
deed promptly' and munificently performed
on one ;side, gratefully accepted and to be
eternally remembered on the other. At that
time, when Lord John Russell, then head
of the British Government, was unable to
make up his mind whether starvation and
sickness really were desolating Iceland, the
required aid was immediately despatched
from this country, the great Republic of the
New World, to that beautiful, unhappy, ill
governed island, which Thomas Francis
Meaoheu, with equal truth and poetic feel
ing, speaks of as “the Poland of the-sea.”
Is it surprising, after this, that the Irish love
the United States, and that the fondest hope
of many of them is to find an asylum be
neath the protection of the glorious Stars
and Stripes ?
The ready and liberal relief which this
country lately sent to the distressed work-,
people of Lancashire is the noblest example
on record of the magnanimity of a mighty
nation. It was lately said, with great force,
that of all the ambassadors ever-sent by
America to England, the most plain-spoken
and effective was the “George Griswold.”
It was not alone that that vessel -was
freighted with the food of which the mise-.
rable out-of-work cotton-spinners and cot
ton-w T eavcrs wore so much in need,. .hut
that this generosity was exercised under
peculiar circumstances, which might. al :
most be said to justify our looking
coldly on, and leaving England to minister
to her '.own miserable's. At the. time that
American benevolence opened its cornuco
pia for the relief, of the distressed opera
tives of Lancashire, it was notorious that
the British aristocracy were sympathizing
with, “ the. so-called Southern Confedera
tion;” that British mechanics' and engi
neers were building war-ships for their use;
that British officials in the West India
Islands were affording countenance and ,
assistance to vessels which operated pirati
cal]}' against our commerce and to all, be
sides, who ventured to inn the blockade,
and that the British Ministry, with loud
professions of neutrality, wore undisguised
ly anxious for the success of the rebel amis.
It,.was so when the “George Griswold”
wit's loaded and despatched with food to
Liverpool. It is so at tliis moment. We
are a great nation, and, therefore,, could
afford to be magnanimous. We did not
abate one iota of our just indignation at the
crooked policy and the broken faith of per
fidious England, but, while feeling thus,
soared into the purer atmosphere, and
into the loftier empyreal of that grand
Humanity which clasps the whole family of
man in its comprehensive zone. Hence the
liberal donation of food to the starving peo
ple of Lancashire—by which we heaped
coals of fire upon the heads of our enemies
and false friends in England. One result
has been the renewed good feeling for the
United States on the part of the masses of
the British people. What the cotton-mil
lionaires, the rich landlords, the opulent
merchants,- and the haughty nobility of
England had failed to do, we did for
the Lancashire people. We administered
promptly and liberally to their wants. And
here let it be noted that, to this hour,
though the suffering in Lancashire has ex
isted for two years, the South lias not be
stowed to the value of one cent for its miti- .
gation and relief. Have Palmerston and
Russell ever taken that little' fect'to .their
study, and meditated upon it ?
Ireland is again distressed, as much so,
we fear, as in 1847,-and a movement is on
foot here, in New York, in Boston, in New
ark, and in other places, to collect funds for
the relief :of unhappy Ireland. It is but j us
tice to the Catholic clergy to say that, in
every place, they have frankly and heartily
co-operated with their Protestant fellow
.. citizens in this holy ‘ cause of charity; In'
i. every Catholic church in the diocese, of
was made on tlie 12th inst. The Catholic
mentions this, liad not alcer
tamecl the result in its last issue, :but says:
; “In this city, if we can judge by the
amounts gathered from some of the congre
gations, we have every reason to believe
tliat the grand total of the collection will be
the largest, ever reached. There seems to ]
have been a friendly rivalry between the
churches, as to which should contribute the
most, and the result is, that all have'done
well; they need never desire to do better. ”
May we not hope, as the relief is to be,
distributed in Ireland, without invidious
reference to creed or locality, that the-
Protestant clergymen in this city, of all
denominations, will have collections made 1
in theiiM-espective churches, in • aid of. the
Irish relief fund? The distress is general, ■
as well as great. In the. south and west of
Ireland the crops' failed last year, and now
there is a scarcity in the potato produce. In
the north the agricultural failure lias also
been heavy, and the persons employed in
embroidering muslins for the Scotch manu
facturers are out of work, and,starving. In
186,0 the annual earnings by these persons
amounted to $2,000,000. At present it is a
branch .of industry wholly destroyed. ,
The subscription in the Corn, Exchange
of this city, for the relief of these sufferers
in Lisburn, Belfast, Coleraine, and their
neighborhoods, now amounts to $5,181.
We are informed.by Mr. Thomas O’ISTRTLii,
the indefatigable secretary of this move
ment, that five barrels offlour
have been shipped to Belfast,-by tlie 1 Old
Hickory,” and fifty barrels .for Coleraine.
Moreover, the sum of $1,400 in cash has
also been forwarded, to be applied, as the
local committees may think best, for the
relief, of the distressed. The gratitude of
the warm-hearted Irish is yery great. The
.Northern Whig , a leading-journal, in Bel
fast, which published what The Press said
on the crying necessity of the case, and the
liberality which met it, thus speaks of what'
Philadelphia has done:
“All. this is exceedingly gratifying. It tells us a
little more of the innate good that ließ'hidden' in the
hearts of men of every nation, how widely soever'
the people of such countries may differ in their
ideas of local * government or abstract: policy,
whether in relation'to affairs of Church or State
Administration. In the,matter to.which.we.refer,
we find the Northern-States of America; amid the
trials’ and s ;sorrows of their own* affairs, readily.
' stretching out the hand of benevolence to aid the
sufferers of the mother country. We trust that-the
.'lesson thus taught the people of.both Bides.of the
; Atlantic will not soon De forgotten by either, and
‘ that, for all, time to pome, the citizensof the West
ern Repußlioand the subjects-of this Kingdom will
more than ever vie with each other in the cultiva
tion of a.truly catholic fraternity.” '
-Mr. Hugh .McCall,. Secretary of- the
Lisburn /Relief ■ Fund, writes thus to Mr.
: CVHeill :
• “ These evidences of true brotherly feeling, of the
. disposition, to prove, themselves friends in need,'
mußt leave a grateful recollection behind them, and
cement,, with: cloßer tieß, the relationship existing,
between that wonderful iand of energy and enter
prise of which you are a citizen and’ the people in
this part of the world. I could wish the habituds of
your Corn Exchange,, and more especially those
whose names I find in the list of the Committee ap
pointed to carry,Out the project of collecting funds,
could have seen the countenances of the half-starved:
to whom I read a portion of your letter. How the
pale faces of those victims Of the cotton crisis Avere
lighted up at the idea of,their sufferings being sym
pathized with by merchants residing three thousand
miles away;”
Wliat we liuve done, and what we are
doing for the distressed people of England
and Ireland will stand on the historic page
among the noblest of all noble deeds. We
are fulfilling the Divine precept of doing
good to those who despltbfully use us,
and our noble conduct will cut keenly, as
with a Damascene blade, into the hearts of
those who liave wronged us. We have just
grounds for being honorably proud, under
such circumstances. Charity may begin at
home,-but ours does not stay there. It
helps our suffering friends in Ireland, and
also those whom the Southern Rebellion has
reduced to misery in England. It is well
that out plenty can afford to mitigate their
want.

General Stoneman’s Advance.
It is understood that the advance of Gen. Stone
man was merely to ascertain the locality of the main

braced.
. - A Retrograde Movement.
From quarters entitled to credit, information has
been received that large numbers of rebels had left
Fredericksburg. It is stated that only a pioket
guard has been left behind, and the statement is
generally credited. It is positively known thata
considerable body oL the enemy have been detached
from Eervice on the Rappahannock.
“ On to Richmond.”
The heavy rains on Wednesday night prevented
the advance of the Union army as planned. There
is no secret now that, while ‘Stoneman with his
cavalry and light artillery was operating in .one di
rection, the infantry, properly supported, wore -to
have crossed the. Rappahannock again at the same
point crossed by Burnside. The movement was to
have taken plßce on Thursday. At the time ap
pointed, the-pontoons:were ready, and nothing but
good weather was necessary to render the advance a
success: ,
The army is in fine condrtion. No body of men
can excel them in discipline, nor was there over an

DEPARTMENT OF TUB SOUTH.
Reports of Dissatisfaction with Admiral 1
Dupont—Tlie Attack upon Charleston to
lie Renewed at an Early Day— T3ic Moni
tors in Fighting Trim, «fcc.
; New York, April 18.— The Post of this evening
publishes advices from Port Royal, which Btate that
a movement is being made for the removal of Ad
miral Drpont, and that General Seymour, who haß
gone to Washington, will urge it upon the Govern
ment. ‘
• The feeling among the land forces is said to be
very Btrong against Admiral Dupont, and the confi
dence of the sailors weakened.
' Gen. - Seymour’s mission is also to urge the send-'
iDgof reinforcements to Gen. Hunter. It is under
stood that the troops belonging to Gen. Foster’s de
partment will be returned to Hunter.
Rumors say that the order for the attack on
Charleston was countermanded t>y the Government;
but the countermand did not reach the Admiral till
it was too late v to prevent" an 1 assault, and that it
was partly in obedience to': this last order thatthe
assault was not renewed.
The report that the Monitors will go to co-operate
with the forces on the Mississippi 1b not credited in
well-informed circles.
There is good reason to believe that General Hun
terhas hot relinquished the idea of early offensive
movements against Charleston. The Monitors could
b'e made ready in two or three hours, and as effective
as before the late engagement.
It was the opinion of Capt. Worden (though the
I’ost is not authorized by him to state it), that the
Monitor fleet will be able to batter down Fort Sump
ter, and in this opinion nearly all the officers con
curred.; - •
lit was also b'elieved that the obstructions might
be passed, though at the risk of rendering the Moni
tors unable to return. The New Ironsides will re
main off Charleston bar.

REBEL REPORTS FROM SUFFOLK.
Our Forces Said to be Surrounded.
CAPTURE OF FORT MAGRUOER.
THE AFFAIR AT KELLY'S FORD
AII Quiet' at Vicksburg.
Bai-timoek, April 19.— The Richmond Dispatch of
Friday last, .contains “a report ’that Longatreet.haß
surrounded ,‘our forces at Suffolk, cutting off their
communication with Norfolk. The Dispatch, how
ever, does not credit the story, and also a rumor
that the whole of our forces have been captured.
From the Peninsula,, the Dispatch reports that
General Wise has captured Fort Magruder, with
one thousand prisoners. The Dispatch credits this,
but it is of course untrue. 1
The following has "probably as little foundation:
“As a result of the fight at. Kelly’s Ford, on
Tuesday last, twenty Yankee prisoners were
brought to the city by the Central train yesterday
evening, and lodged in the Libby Prison. It seems
that the enemy were repulsed five successive times
in the efforts to cross the river, and ■ finally gave up
the undertaking. ; ;
“Their loss iB estimated at from twenty-five to
thirty in killed and wounded, besides those cap
tured and brought down last night. Our loss was
one horse killed; and one soldier slightly wounded.
Everything was quiet at the Ford yesterday
morning.”
VICKSBURG.
ViOKSEUBO, April 14.—A1l is quiet here. One
transport, with troops, left the l .fleet this morning.
Many tents and a dozen transports are still in Bight.

Public Entertainments.
; The New Chestnut-street Theatre.— thi3 esta
blishment the new play of; “Leah Jl was portrayed for
the sixth time on Saturday night. This play has hereto
fore been somewhat extendedly noticed. The gentleman
who has taken the trouble to translate the original, and
to adapt it to the requirements of the American stage, has
paid some attention to those alterations and abatements
which are expected and essential. There are faults,
however, in the dramatization. The conversation
or the dramatis. persona;, especially that in the
first act, is drawn out and tedious. It positively
wants cutting down and lopping off. Ail that is neces
sary could have been said in fewer words. The only
pointof interest in the whole of the first act isfcheap
pearanca of Leah and the tableau ofrevehgeful Christ ians
grouped around her. The management expresses “ ex
treme gratification” in announcing that Miss Bateman
hss secured a pure and’ genuine triumph. The young
lady certainly has secured such so far as her ta
lents will allow her. To use a common phrase,
shB has portrayed tl\e character of Leah to the
best of her ability. She has portrayed it well. To him
•who had just witnessed her depicturing, the naineof
no one would occur who could portray it better. The
mere machinery of the plot she has studied. Experience
fxom childhood, has familiarized her with stage busi
ness. The gist of the author’s (and translator’s) mean
ing she comprehends. But the presentation is not fault
less. It is morelihe aportrait than a photograph. The
light of her intelligence, the naturalness of her arc, has
not perfectly delineated the conception of the author. In
vher characterizations, at least, Miss Bateman lacks the
passion of love. • Religion and love are the elements.of
this play. When the faith and superstitions of her tribe
inspired her to action, she was s afficiently self-sacrificed
and passionate. In the one or two scenes where she ex
pressed love. and yet waa removed from the object of
flier devotion, the of*look, and word, and
gesture. wa3 unusually natural and touching. But, in
■ her meetings with Rudolf in the fifth act, and in the
: last scene of the fourth, she was constrained and cold.
-.The apathy of action was very noticeable! Why should
■4 this be? Cannot Mias Bateman entirely abandon herself to
• the necessities of the situation ? Her own ambition as an
artiste should atleast be coeval whh tho wish of her
; admirers, to see Keivuse the datent power which they
r*afgue fche. must possess. Iff such scenes as these her
iperspnaiions are as cold -as ;cut glass, and as precise as
L n jjgArpi.—Her voice becomes
seemconatrained.
*lntely no ‘attempt at emotion is "made in these and like
.situations; but we do mean to say that the attempt made
: falls far short of what' it ouglittobe. It is announced
ithht-Miss Bateman will soon leave this country. Her
laurels here are yet green, but it is to be hoped they will
be yet greener elsewhere; Herentrance upon the scene
is always welcomed with prolonged applause; the pro
cess of the play is always'aceoinpauicd with it.' She
has reason to feel flattered by the plaudits of an
audience more indulgent than it is ju6t. Such
applause may, perhaps, : render her too mindful
of her good . points, but has certainly rendered
lier forgetful'of her deficiencies. Byadue Tespeefc
to self-criticism, and to the criticisms of those who respect
her power as . an artist, this failure may, and probably
.’will, be overcome. Miss Bateman was most effective in
the last act. This- last act was almost wholly devoted
to her,and she made the most of it. Desolate and broken
hearted, she drew each line! and painted every color of
Ibis picture with exquisite tenderness and truth. Such
coldness before might have prepared one for less tender
ness, here. There was no mistaking the tone of utter
vanquish, the look of supplication and completeabandon
; ment, telling of a heart spurned and crushed and broken,
and. beating still. Here Miss Bateman was really good.
The peculiarly noble face and figure of Miss Bateman;
her majestic features and sometimes almost sublime ex
pression and gesture; her hard-working, conscientious
discharge of her duties, are, in themselves, more than
enough to insure the favorable attention of any audience.
In regard tojhe adaptation of . the play enough has been
said.. The manner in which it has been placed upon the
stage is worth y of both praise and censure. The chorus did
its part well, and, so did the orchestra; The scenery was
the main good, but by no means what it might and
should have been in a theatre of such pretensions as the
New Chestnut. The, “ glade in the forest” was wretch
edly rridiculoue, and too stupid even to be laughable.
The way in which the sky and the trees were dovetailed
was a scenic curiosity, and to some a source of inquisi
! tiveness where; such a, piece of patchwork came from.
- The remainder of the' landscape was generally tasteful
Jand correct. Mr. McCullough as Rudolf, evinced his
usual ability, though-in not quite its usual degree.
"Without being untrue to the requirements of the text,
,■ he Vet did not evince that warmth and genuineness
which is naturally expected from him. ; Mrs; Allen,
as Mcidelina, with her shapely head and neat figure,
was very pretty and engaging ; particularly so upon
the “wedding day,” in act fourth. She acted with
discretion, gently, and with tenderness. Sarah ,
an aged woman, ” did not succeed in making herself
look old, nor yet yoang. - The rest of the characters were
respectable. With the exception of thechoras.theset
ting to music of certainportions of the acts was a melo
dious superfluity. The storm in the third act was very
funny_ indeed. An improved method of thunder and
lightning-rat this,-as, indeed, at all, the theatres is de-
With all the defects, however, , of acting and of
management, it is not to be denied that the new play is a
success ,in Philadelphia, as it has been in New York.
The intrinsic merit of Ihe original production, the pains
taking radaptation of { the translator, the'talent! of the
principal artistes, and the co-operation of the. manage
ment, have insured this success.
: This evening Miss Bateman will repeat the character
of Leah.

Heins, Amos Knight Geo. Dehaven.Jr,
Upon taking, the chair, the president returned thanks
for the honor conferreu upon him, ana then introduced
Mr. 8. Snyder Leidy, who' spoke at considerable length
upon the aims and purposes, of the Union Leagues, and
the vital necessity of- their establishment everywhere
throughout the free North. He denounced the “Copper
heads ” as cowards, and stigmatized them as traitors not
only to the Government, hut to every principle of ju-tice
and liberty, and as such he considered them totally un
deserving of the countenance or notice of any person
having the least pretension to honorable feeliug or self
respect. At the conclusion, the subjoined picamble and
resolutions, drafted by Mr. Fletcher Budd, were pre
sented and adopted: ' ■ .* ’
Whereas, The people and Government of the United
States are now engaged jn a mighty effort to suppress
the confederate bands of traitors who have organized
with a, design to sever the Union and to overthrow the
Constitution of our beloved couutiy; and whereas, in
view of. the incalculable importance of the iss-ue in
volved, as well as the stupendous nature of the struggle,
it bepomes the duty of loyal citizens, without aaj' dis
tinction whatever, to aid and'encourage in every con
ceivable manner the efforts of the constituted authori
ties to preserve the Coi-stitution and the Uniou of these
States, and inaMOuch as, in a conflict of forces, itis the
right as well as the policy of a belligerent to draw upon
its sources of strength with a judicious economy, while
it cripples that of its.enemy thereof,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of tlie Nineteenth ward,
declare our hearty approval of every measure which
has been adopted’by -the Government of the United
States calculaied to increase the effective power of our
armies, or to impair the strength of the rebel forces.
Resolved, That the employment of the slaves of rebel
owners in aid of the armies of the United States is a mea
sure ot such a nature; and, in view of the : fact that
colored soldiers were employed in defence of our coun
try by Washington in the war of the Revolution, and by
Jackson in that of 1812, we can conceive of no opposition
to colored aid save that to be expected from those who
prefer the .protection of rebel -property* to the speedy
suppression of the existing rebellion, aud the conse
quent restoration of our former peace and prosperity. -
Resolved, That the present rebellion is wholLywithout
legitimate foundation, and should this assertion occasion
>.cavil, we will not waste breath by disputation, but at
once declare our admiration of the sentiment of Decatur,
“Onr country, may she always be right; but right or
wrong, our country.” •
Resolved , That the traitors iu arms have no rights
which a loyal man is bouud to respect.
Resolved, That the secret Northern sympathizer with
rebellion has neither feelings nor rights.wnich we are
bound to respect, and is still lower in degree of crime
than the enrolled enemy in the South, because his
courage is less, while his, hatred of our cause is equal,
and wliile he enjoys the protection of our Government,
he seeks every occasion to sneer at its policy, to chal
lenge its motives, to malign, the character of its sup
porters, andto provoke that sedition-in others which his
dastardly spirit alone prevents him from participating in
hinseif..
Resolved, That we hereby extend our warmest thanks,
as we.have alway s yielded our enthusiastic admiration,
to our noble soldiers in the field, and promise that while
they are braving tlie open enemy in front, we will be
—responsible for their”secret enemies in the rear.
!That.j.h
League, and pledge our lives, oxir fortunes, and our
.sacred honor to the preservation of onr Constitution,
the perpetuity of our Vnion, the support of our Govern
ment, and the safety, honor, and welfare of the United ,
States.
After the applause consequent upon the reading and
adoption of these resolutions liad subsided, other ad-”
dresses were delivered by Messrs. Wm. S. Fierce aud
\Vm. Jl. Thomas, and the meeting broke up with much
enthusiasm. - ~

demand for Governments is not so active, but prices are
well maintained, old one-year certificates rising % per

Tbk Leased Routb to Buffalo—Contracts Signed.—
The lease of the ELinira and Williamsport Railroad by
the Northern Central Railroad Company, and of the
Buffalo, New York, and- Erie Railroad by ihc Erie and
Northern Central Railroad Companies,the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company being also a party in the compact as
guarantor of tlie payments, were signed in tills city on
Thursday,last.- On the Ist of May the agreement will
take effe«t; and thereafter will assure a more advan
tageous imercommunicatiOH between Philadelphia and
Baltimore on the one part, and Buffalo and Rochester—
Canada and Lake Ontario—on the other parti .
As consummated, the scheme, instead of being a mea
sure to regulate a blockade at Elmira, (as was feared
when the original . field.oi ,negotiation was bounded on
r tlie norili by that point,)' comprehends a‘broad eom
li ercial policy, and contemplates a diversified iutertrade
with Western New York,Buffalo,Rochester,and Canada
'West, and this city and Baltimore. ' .
Jn the movement of lake commerce, Bnffalo is a main
portal at the end of Lake Erie as Chicago is a mainporial
at the end of Lake Michigan. Wiih its inffcence reach
ing to the lakes at Chicago, Cleveland, Erie
Buffalo, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will parti
cipate, on a far larger scale than hitherto,-in the busi
ness.of the Northwest.
The first and immediate gainer from this ramified nego
tiation is unquestionablythe Elmira and Williamsport
Railroad Company, which, for the term of nine hundred'
and ninety-nine years, is assured of severtpercenti in
terest on its mortgage bonds and preferred stock„and five
per'cent. on common shares and chattel loan, 1 the whole
annual guarantee amounting to sl6s.oQ(h'equal to sheuer
cent.: on a principal sum of $2,750,(XX1. ;The lengthofthe
Elmira and Williamsport Railroad is 7E miles.—o* SL

The &ew York Evening Post of to-day *ays
The quietude which daily alternates in- Wall streeS
with speculative activity is one of the most healthful
symptoms woich could be desired in. a time ifikethe pre
sent, when money is easy, and.every one is conse* 1
qucntly tempicd to- embark in enterprises whoserisks
and requirements-surpass the bounds which, enlightened
prudence would prescribe.
The market opened strong and closed steady. Govern
ments are in moderate demaud, and gold certificates
continue to go up, being worth % percent, more than
yesterday. _ -
Such is the demand for sold certificates, that the
transactions of-one house inWall street daring the past
two days amount to one hundred and fifty
dollaje. - ; - .
The surplus of capital peeking investment is stilt accu
mulating, and it is difficult to get 5 per cent, interest
from first-class borrowers. The rates are tending down
ward, and in someinstances as Jow as four per cent. lias
been accepted for loans on prime securities.As soon'as
the 8»t00.t00,000 temporary, deposits at the sub-treasury
are filled up, we expect to seo 5@5% - the highest quota
tion for demand loans.
Some parties are becoming impatient at what they
think an unnecessary tardiness in arranging the prelimi
naries for the-organization of the new national banks.
In view of the magnuudeandextentof the arrangements
which have to be made before this great scheme can be
burly launched, it is not probable that the complete ma
turity of the organization can be expected for some time
to come; nor are we aware that any vital interests of the
country are threatened by the indispensable delay.

Gold is drooping. The heavy purchases lately made
hyw«ak holders have some slight influence on the
maiket. But the chief cause of the downward pressure
53 the conviction that the price of gold is too high. The
transactions to-day range from 151 K t01522t, closing at
the higher figure.
Exchange is dull at 167, and business for to-day’s
steamer has been of a very limited character.

The Cost oe Living.— A Rlchmond pa
per, with that love of truth peculiar to Seceah or
gans, gays : “There is great distress in Phila
delphia, in consequence of the war; men who used
to be deemed rich are now compelled to live upon a
single m eal of boiled potatoes a day. Beef is $5OO a
pound ; flour is $2,500 a barrel; muslins are about a
million and a half a yard ; coffee is per
pound; wnile a suit of clothes cannot he bought at
all, unless the purchaser is a millionaire.” We ad
mit that the price of marketing and groceries is up,
but if any of our readers would like to know just
how a Secesh newspaper can lie, we would suggest
to them to visit the Brown Stone Clothing Halt of
Pockhill & Wilson, Is T os. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
above Sixth, and see at what a reasonable rate an
elegant, fashionable, and becoming suit can be pro
cured.
Anothek Successful Blockade Ruk
nek.—The following despatch to the President ex
plains itself :
“ To his Excellency, Presidcxt Lincoln :
“Dear Sir : I have to report to you the success
ful running, of the blockade, last Tuesday, by one of
your rams, left on my place, at Springfield, for pas
ture, by you, about two years ago. I had contem
plated his capture, in order to fleece him (as every
thing connected with the Government Bhould be),
when I noticed a disposition on his part to evade the
draft, which was very strong in the" old pen, in which
he was kept, so I determined in a few days to put
him through the’operation above alluded to, but
about five o’clock, on Tuesday morning, our senti
nel, the old. Cochin-China, sounded- the alarm,; and,
as I jumped out of bed, I saw the fleet ram pissing
my window, with a full head of Bteam on, evidently
bound for the lane gate. - I {immediately opened my
batteries on him, consisting of a few potatoes, a pair
of boots, and a half-peck measure, which latter ex
ploded as it struck a tree, doing considerable damage
to the measure, but before I could train on him my
boot-jack he was completely out of range, and on the
main road, going at the rate of about twelve knots .
an hour. I was . going to have the wool manuFao* £
tured into cloth, and Charles Stokes & Co., the emi-.
nent clothiers, under the Continental Hotel, Ph»a.
delphia, had engaged the whole cargo, but I regret '
to report the whole speculation a total failure.
“Yours, respectfully,
“Brigadier General Doolittle, Com.”
