THE SEWS,
'Dun agricultural news from the various States is
*now especially interesting and important, and there
"is promise of abundant crops throughout the coun
try, particularly in the grain-growing regions. In
Pennsylvania unpropitious weather interfered with
the planting of corn ; but wheat, oats, and rye pro
mise a heavy yield. In New Jersey the wheat and
grain crops promise to be very large, especially
in the central counties of Somerset, Hunterdon,
Middlesex, Burlington, Monmouth, and Mercer, in
♦Which the aggregate production in past years has
equalled that' oi any districts of Birailar extent in
the country. In the southern tier of countiesalarge
yield of fruit, especially of peaches and apples, 1b an
ticipated. In New York, wheat looks well, and other
crops promise fair. Generally speaking, the wheat
harvest in Maryland will be fair, and there 1b every
indication of ah abundance of fruit. Theljfreld of
fruit -in Michigan will be especially large, and
wheat, on the whole, is • excellent. In St. Joseph
county, peppermint has been extensively planted,
the yield from which, last year, realized‘*&37,6o6. In
Illinois, the wheat growth never looked better, and
corn and fruits are full of promise. Wheat in In
diana looks fine, and there will be no end to the
grass; peaches will also yield a generous harvest.
In lowa, everything is equally satisfactory. In
Kansas,.graßS andwheat are highly praised, and the
farmers have been encouraged to cultivate more ex
tensively the lately* adopted staple, cotton. In Ken
tucky,, the wheat crop is promising. A Lebanon
letter says that farmers are in good spirits, “ex
pecting every species of grain in abundance. M Of
•.•fruit, the yield in Wisconsin is likely to'be large.
The Green Lake Spectator says : “Never,since the
fruit trees reached the age of bearing, have the pro
spects fora big yield of npples and pears been aspro
: mißing in this region as now. Of the cereals, the
product will no doubt be large.” From* Ohio/
there 1b promise of abundant fruit, and the meteoro
logical conditions favorable to ; that crop will doubt
lesß secure an ample harvest- of the cereals. Mis
souri complains* of the,drought, and is, in some re
• Bpccts, an exception to the general rule of plenty.
The young corn and tobacco plants have withered
for want of moisture. But in" the essential grain
growing districts the prospect is eminently cheering,
and generally throughout the country there is every
certainty of abundance in a variety of harvests.
Reports from the Southern States also speak en
couragingly of the growing crops, on which the
rebels place their reliance to continue the war; but
a glance at the remarkably exorbitant prices of ne
cessaries would* hardly have a similar effect on the
mind of the North. From .all indication we shall
have enough in our harvests to supply ourselveß,
.and, according to custom, to feed a part of Europe.
TpUBBLAhaB, within the past year, been renamed
with the appellation of Saragossa, or, as the Mexi
cans write it, ZaragOZ®? in honor of their late
•commander-in-chief, General Zaragoza. It will be
easily understood, says a correspondent, by any one
acquainted with a ..Spanish city, that, from their
' massive style of building, even private houses could.
be easily changed into a range of fortresses, so that
with the erection of barricades in the Btreets .the
French have had their progress disputed inch by
inch, and ultimately, as is now clearly evident, have
been.obliged to withdraw outside the city to avoid a
universal, slaughter. As has already been told,
Forey has, at least for awhile, abandoned the siege
and retreated‘to Orizaba. We have in .our news
letters from Ortega to Comohfort describing the
battles of the siege, and giving high praise to the
! fruitless bravery of the French, President Juarez
opened the Mexican Congjeßß on the 26th ultimo, in
a remarkable speech.
Information has been received in Washington, ;
from an American official in Mexico, who says that
the occupation of the Rio Grande frontier would
interfere largely with the New York traders in that
region dealing with rebels. They justify themselves
in the illicit trade by saying that in exchanging
every kind of rebel supplies for cotton they are
benefiting the Union. The rebels are building pri
vateerfl in Europe with the proceeds of Texas cotton,
which is seized and contributed by the State autho
rities to what is known as the gunboat fund. Brazos
is made the rendezvous for the Texas navy, and, in
the language of his letter, the first thing we know
we will be terribly mortified at what we hear from
there. He says nearly all classes of goods canbe
bought in Brownsville, Texas, as cheap as in Ne w
Orleans. ‘ Refugees and deserters arc constantly ar
riving in Mexico from Texas, bringing news that the
Union men still hold out faithfully, though heartsick
• at repeated disappointments. The rebels have made
Hamilton’s wife a hostage, to check his labors in the
• North. 1 ' .
Yi:::n>:a correspondence ot the London Times es
timates the present strength of the Eliasian army
—on paper—aa follows : There are 120,000 men in the
Oaucaaus, 16,000 in l’inland, 18,000 In Eastern Siberia
12,000 in Orenburg. The so-called “active’’ army is
composed of 34,000 guards, 32,600 grenadiers, and
: six carps d’armee of the line. - The cavalry consists o^
- T 0,200 guards,"B,ooo cuirassiers, 'and 42,600 ‘/’cavalry-"
of the lice,” The reserves are said to amount to
65,800 men.: .The artillery of the line is composed of
29,400. men, with 936 guns ; the horse artillery of 9,600,
with 266 guns. Should the insurrection" not be at an
end by the 13th instant, the. state of siege wiil be
proclaimed in the Polish provinces of Kusaia. The
kingdom of Poland will be divided into military diß-.
tricts, and all the Polish employees dismissed, aiftlie
capital punishment inflicted on every Pole who may""
attempt to leave liia place, of residence; .10,000 lius
sians are preparing to make a combined attack on
the insurgents collected in the northwestern part of
the kingdom of Poland. The plan of action ia to
, advance at one and the same time from Kalisch,
"Warsaw, and Wloclawelc, along the banks of the
Warthe, and bo drive the insurgents into Posen,
where they will be disarmed by the Prussians. The .
three Russian columns will be under the command
of Generals Prince Wittgenstein, Brunner, and
Minkwitz, who have already made the necessary ar
rangements with General Waldersee, the cotmuan
' der of the Prussian forces ih'Posen, . '
Lately, Bishop Smytii, the Roman Catholic
bishop of Ibwa, destroyed ■ a movement for organiz
ing a secret disloyal society in Dubuque. After
vesper services the Bishop addressed his congrega
tion on ihe subject of disloyal secret societies, say
ing that they were opposed to the Bpirit of the
Cathplic Church,- and warning his parishioners that
if they joined them they, would thereby place them
selves outside the pale of the Church. He would
give, those members of the Church who had joined
the organization two weeks to leave it, and then, if
they still continued it, they might consider them
selves excommunicated. The Bishop then concluded
with a most eloquent appeal to his hearers, to sus
tain the Government under which they lived.
Though he lives in the hot-bed of the western
Secessionists, Bishop Smyth, ever since the firing of
the first gun, has kept the national flag flying On his
house, next his church, and both edifices are thus
included beneath its lolds. '
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of the 18th
inst., says that some days before leaving Tennessee
Gen. Johnston sent to Gen. Pemberton, the defen
der of Vicksburg, an order to somewhat change his
plans, Which was forthwith set aside by the latter
aa very improper directions to bo consequential a
commander, whereupon Gdn. Johnston received Ah
order at the last moment on Saturday to go to Mis
sissippi and take command of the army. The Mail
further stateß that Pemberton had the most import
ant supplies, and the archives and other articles of
value, removed from Jackson, in anticipation of its
capture. It says the rebel army has four months’
provisions at Vicksburg.
Rev. M. D. Coxway writes from London to the
Commonwealth that the English people honestly mean
to hold their Government to itß neutrality, and they
" are watching their rulers with sleepless eyes. Meet
ings' are already arranged whose motto is, “ No war
with America,” which wiil plainly inform the Go
vernment that the people will not submitto taxation
for any war into which they may be borne by the.
rascality of pro-slavery men in England,
The Elkton (Bid.) Democrat says that a number of
~ citizens of "Warwick, in that county, pursued two
runaway slaves on the. 18th, found lurking in the
woods of Mr. McOrome. The slaves were armed,
and fired on their pursuers, wounding Mr. James
Perry Price in the arm. Subsequently, one of the
slaves was shot and badly wounded. The other
was arrested just across tlie Delaware line. Both
of them were taken to New Castle, where'they
were tried and convicted of intent to kill Mr. Price.

The Situation in tlie Southwest.
We have not received the despatch an
nouncing the fall of Vicksburg, although
We know nothing to change our opinion
that General Ghaut is in possession. The
difficulty of obtaining news from a seat of
war so far from the ordinary lines of com
munication will account for the tardiness of
the intelligence that has been received. It
was some time before we really knew that
Fort Donelson was taken, and the feeling of
suspense that many express merely repeats
the feeling that then existed. The Govern
ment has freely given all of its information
to the public, and all that can be known
is before us. Admiral Poster’s despatch
is by far the most clear and explicit we have
obtained and, although, containingmerely,
the operations of the navy; gives us an idea
of what the army has also been doing. The
last definite news from Grant was, that lie,
had completely surrounded the town, having
defeated the auxiliary forces under Pember
ton and Johnston, and taken possession of
the Yazoo. This made it a question with
the .garrison of Vicksburg whether, they
would fight their way out, surrender, or
await reinforcements. The disposition of
Grant’s army would make the first attempt
a desperate suicide. Their surrender, will be
an only alternative. An attempt to await
reinforcements would make it necessary for
General Grant, to take the city by storm.
Let , them adopt whatever policy , they
please, decisive results have already taken
place at Vicksburg—or the victories of
General Grant have developed a new
campaign. That task done, it only re
mains for General Banks to occupy Mis
sissippi and keep the river open—while he
extends his sway into Texas, and re
organizes the Union sentiment in the
extreme Southwest. The interest of the
active campaigns will turn to Tennessee,
and Grant advancing with eager steps to
Rosecrans, we shall have an assault upon
Bragg. Indeed, there are accounts from
the West showing that Brags, in anticipa
tion of an attack, is moving his army on a
line of retreat; : and we should not be sur
prised to; learn that lie had fallen hack for
the purpose of assimilating with the retreat
ing columns of the whipped-and retreating
Pemberton, returning again to oppose our
army under Rosecrans, and end the war in
the West with .one great battle. Indeed,
the war seems to have assumed this general
aspect; and having defeated Johnston, it
only remains for us to defeat Bragg and
Lee, to end the war. The victories in the
Southwest will go far towards accomplish
ing this great result; and ¥6 should-not he
at all surprised if the news from Vicksburg,
about which we have been rejoicing, is but
the beginning of the end. ;
The Store-order System,
It affords us much pleasure to he able to
stale that his Excelleacy Governor Guiitin
v has signed the hill passed by the last Legis
lature,-which mates it unlawful for any
ironmaster, foundryman, .collier, factory
man; or company, or their agents, to pay
their employees, wholly or partially, in.
printed, written, or verbal orders. Violation
of this law is declared to be a misdemeanor,
punishable with fine and imprisonment, .or
either, at the discretion of the court. "Tlie
adoption of such a wholesome measure as
this has long beep dictated by considera
tions of justice and: propriety. It has fre
quently been alleged, and, no ddubt, with
mu.cli truth, that the disturbances which, of
late years, have periodically occurred in tile
mining districts have, in great part, been
attributable to the vicio.us store-order sys
tem. . It has never been satisfactorily shown. >
that this sy stem was attended with beneficial
results to the laboring classes, hut we think
it has .been shown that if it possessed any
advantages at all, they were not such as.
to compensate for the evils inseparable from
it—for the constant quarreling,, dissatisfac
tion, inconvenience, nud habits "of thrift
lessness, which it engendered. That’ lire '
employers should have so long persisted in
adhering to it, in the face of general oppo
sition, and constantly recurring manifesta
tions of .its injudicious results, is a matter
for surprise, and can only he explained upon
the theoi-y that: they were .strongly interested
' in': its ..continuance.' . Exactly in proportion
to the amount of their interest; therefore, it
is to be presumed that the persons’ in their
tmploy wcrc being injured, by being de
i-prived_of What was justly , due them. We
are glad that at length this great and intole
rable abuse has -been corrected, for it had
threatened, more than any other cause, to
jeopardize the fair reputation of oiir Com
monwealth for law and order.
' British Etiquette.
The total wreck of the mail steamer An
glo-Saxon, only a few weeks ago, with great
loss of human life, was an incident at once
grievous and startling. It occurred, during
a heavy fog, within a short distance of Cape
Race, and what makes it more lamentable
is the belief, almost amounting to certainty,
that it might have betm prevented, had the
British Government acted witheven a small
share of common sense.
: The facts, as formally stated in the House,
of Commons, the\other day, aTe these: One
of the greatest institutions in this world, pe
culiar to this country, is the Associated
Press, whose headquarters are at New York,
while its members include the leading pro
prietors of newspapers throughout the Uni
ted States. This. Association has agents at
the leading ports, and has a particular esta
blishment at Cape Race, (on the southeast
extremity of the British island of Newfound
land, ) where it has boats which, when
steamers from Europe are expected, cruise
about in the path such vessels usually take,
getpossession of the abstracts of foreign news
Which they may bring from the. Association's
corresponding agents in Liverpool, South
ampton, Queenstown, Londonderry, Gal
way, and other British ports, and this news
being immediately telegraphed on to Ne w
York, is sometimes in print three days be
fore the vessel which brought it has arrived
at her: destined port. Pogs, such as the
Anglo-Saxon was enveloped in when, close
to Cape Race, are_ so frequent in that vici
nity that steamers sometimes slip by without
the Associated Press being able to obtain its !
despatches. It was therefore proposed to
establish at Cape Race what is known as.
Dadodl’s fog trumpet, by which, at regular
intervals, a noise could be made, audible for
several miles at sea, by-which tog-enveloped
vessels would be informed of their vicinity
to Cape Race—information which, if pos
sessed by,the Anglo-Saxon, would probably
have .warned that vessel off the rocky and
dangerous coast, and have saved much life
and property. The signals given by the fog
trumpet, if responded to by the discharge
of ordnance from- the vessel at sea, would
inform the Associated Press agents of its
whereabouts'and, in many instances, enable
them to obtain the despatches. They would
also inform vessels whereabouts they were.'
The. Associated Press offered to erect
tlic fog-trumpet at their oivn expense. The
British Government, will it he belieyed ?
gave a churlish refusal to this offer, al
though merchants and mariners, as well
as statesmen .ami; journalists, all admit its
importance. In the ; House of Commons,
.Mr,. Dawson, member of Londonderry and
nephew of the great Sir Robert > Peel,
asked the British Government to inform
the- public, through Mm, what, particulars
had reached them of the loss of the Anglo-
Saxon; whether the said Government had
refused permission to use the fog-trumpet
at Cape Race, and, if so, what were the
grounds for the refusal. Mr. Thomas Mil
neb Gibson, one of tha few British offi
cials who have given a good word to our
Union, during the last two years, is one of
the Palmerston as President of
the-Board of Trade, azad had to reply to
Mi*; 'Dawson’ s inquiries* He doc;s not ap
pear to have known more of the loss of
ihe Anglo-Saxon thai* every body might
lit ve learned foorn* the newspapers, but, as
regarded the other part of the question, his
aiswer was t&at the application of the New
York Associated - Press to erect , a fog
trumpet at Cape Race was rejected, ‘‘because
it was not thought jit to allow a foreign com
pany to do it. The matter was under con
sideration, but the gun was thought 1 to be
.the best signal..”/ ( ;
The ; interests of' humanity-and ;the into
rests .ofiCommerce,- civilization,' and ’eater
*’ « ' " !
prise, would be served by the nse of the fog
trumpet ; the safety of navigation would be
thereby advantaged 1 ; the security ofhuman
life would be increased, hut the British Go
vernment would ** not allow a foreign com
pany to do it.” One is reminded, in this
exclusiveness, of the dog in the manger,
wlio could not himself cat the hay, but pre
vented the cattle from having a mouthful:
England declines erecting a'fog-trumpet at
Cape Race, and “ will not allow a foreign
company to do it’’ for her, and thus life and
property will continue to he risked on a
foolish matter of British etiquette. There
is a case something in point reported in the
luminous writings of the late Mr. Joseph
Miller, of facetious memory : A Cam
bridge student was seized with cramp while
bathing in the Thames, and a young Oxo
nian stood on the banks of the river, calmly
surveying his death-struggle. An aged
man, who also witnessed the scene, rushed
up to the Oxonian and said, “ Why do not
yob jump in and save that man’s life?”-
The ..Oxonian, pulling up his shirt-collar,
answered, “ I never had the pleasurd of
being introduced to the gentleman!” and
coldly passed on. In like manner England
declines allowing “ a*foreign company” to
save her subjects and her steamers. Well,
the time may come when we shall break
down this ridiculous and affected punctili
ousness, and teach England that practical
humanity is the truest politeness.
Serving their Friends,
A despatch in one of the newspapers says
that the rebels have returned the captured
correspondent of the New York Wmdd,
while they still retain the correspondent of
the New York Tribune. This is an act of
appreciative courtesy on the part of the
rebels, which we trust will go far towards -
convincing the editor of the World that his
laboi's in the cause of treason are duly re
cognized in the South. .
Appreciative,
The Richmond Enquirer intimates that
the South will not receive-. Mr. Valt-an-
DiGnAM, and says they “will not permit
the Southern Confederacy to become a
'penal colony for the.. United States." -This
is, perhaps, the' bitterest insult that the
rebels North have yet received from , their
friends in the South, while at the same
time it exhibits a proper appreciation of the
character and motives of the present
leaders of the Democratic party.

Destruction of the Warrenton Batteries—
s Official Report.
Acting Bear Admiral Poets®, in a despatch to the
Navy Department, from the Yazoo river, under date
ofthe 15th inst., says:
A few days since the Mound City, Lieut. Com’g
Byrox "Wilson, came up as far as Warrenton to
reconnoitre, and see what guns were there likely
to annoy our transports. The: rebels have been
engaged for some months in building a strong
casemated water, battery, intended to " mount
eight ten-inch guns on it. This work was built
with cotton hales, covered with logs; the logs
covered with railroad iron, and the whole co
vered with earth. On approaching the forts Lieu,
tenant Commanding Wilsox sent a party on
shore to reconnoitre. On climbing up the casemate
to look in, the party discovered that a company o’f
"ai tilleri&ts , had’ taken refuge there. Supposing
themselves perfectly secure, our men tired their re
volvers into the crowd, and warned the vessel that
the rebels were about. Lieutenant Commanding
Wilsoh then commenced shelling the fort, and in a
short time it was all in a blaze." After burning,
thoroughly for some time, the whole work was de
stroyed. Thus ended a fort in the space of an hour,
which had takeu'the rebels, five months to build,
wotking mostly day and night. " "
: I proceeded to Warrenton this morning to be cer
tain that tin- work was thoroughly : destroyed. It
required nothing more done to it; the. Mound City
had finished it. The reheis set all the houses con
taining their stores on-fire as the gunboats approach
ed, and what they left I. ordered to be destroyed.
Warrenton had been a troublesome'’place; and me
rited its fate.
From the Rappahannock.
" Gentlemen arriving here from the Rappahannook
uniformly report that nothing of importance is
transpiring in.the army. Many of the line andataff
officers, have gone North, and there is no indication
of any immediate movement..
A gentleman reports that while a regiment of
troops was being paid off recently, a smuggler came
into camp and found a ready sale for his whisky, at
$3 a pint; The officer in command, on discovering
the illicit trade,: confiscated the prohibited stock on
hand, and drove the trader away. , Many of the
camps have’been changed to more h'ealthylocaiities.
The wounded are well cared for, and nothing condu.

The following is communicated to the Now York*
Tribune by Gen. Newton, of Sedgwick’s corps : v
Sir: I have just read the accounts, inyourpaper
of the 22d instant, of the operations ot the 6th Corps
during the . late campaign-south of the Rappahan
nock ; and while I think these .articles convey :the
most accurate view, by far, -yet furnished to the pub
lic of-the desperate-struggles through which-we
passed, you must permit me to correct one serious
mistakeinto which the writer of the second article
has unwittingly fallen; - . '
With a too partial view of my services, he haß
done great injustice to Gen. Sedgwick, commanding
the corps. .
Without attemptingto enter into detail, I will sum
up by stating that while General Sedgwick treated
his division commanders with courteous considera
tion, his fertility Of resource and decision of charac
feVwei-e always equal to the emergency, and that he
alone, from first to last, was tfie'coiT.mahder t ;
I am enabled to speak positively, because, more
than any other, I was cognizant of his opinions and
actions.
My proudest boast is that I received his approba
tion as division commander, and I-have no. idea of
allowing my subordinate services to be compared
even.with his masterly management of the whole
corps in its critical situation.
I remain, very respectfully, your obedient serv’t.

and pronounce the Oreto, Alabama, and other siml

Miss Dickinson’s Second Lecture, at the
Academy of Music*
«HOW PROVIDENCE IS TEACHING THE
* NATION.”
Miss Anna E. Dickinson, our eloquent and ac
complished townswoman, wbb greeted last night, on
her second appearance, by another large and over
• flowing audience, such an assemblage as would jus
tify the most popular of orators in indulging in the
pardonable vanity which success engenders.
Miss Dickinson was introduced, with compli
mentary remarks, by Hon. George A. Coffey, United
States District Attorney. She was received with
long* continued applause, and was frequently inter
rupted during the delivery of her address by the
moßt cordial and enthusiastic demonstrations of ap-,
proval. She spoke as follows:
One of America’s niost eloquent orators has said,
. 14 Every ftopof the world’s onward progress lias been
from scaffold to scaffold, and from-stake to stake. ” It
needs no proof. Reading down the page of history we
find the record of hrave lives sacrificed by lingering dun
geon, by wearing famineanddisease. ,by theshort, sharp
agony of rope, or scaffold, or stake, living true to liberty,
suffering willingly in behalf,dying,sealing their.testi
mony with their olocd. We see cut clearly against the wall
of the part the figures of -contending armies—of standards
high advanced on one side of wrong and of despotism;
on the other,.of justice and of truth.. We hear the erv,
“Forward, minions, for your King, ” answered by the
battle shout, full and clear, of strong men, or gasped by
wiiite lips, slowly stiffening, “ God and liberty, ”as the
mighty hosts rush, and fight, and fall together.. Wo
Scan the territory of by-gone time, to see piled up
mountains of slain, up which the slow steps of the
nation have climbed, to stand, nt last. oh. the high
lands of freedom [Applause ], We see that the world’s
benefactors have been its martyrs?. And yetliowit lias
come, with mingled weeping and joy, to build their mo
numents. = How the ground nas been crimsoned with the
best blood of the land, that it might bring.forth its har
vest of liberty. How the air has hung heavy with the
whispers of dying men.for the cause; dying, that tjie.
great hearts and strong souls which followed might hear
and cry aloud. Step by step the world has advanced,
century after century has waded through seas of blood,
to come up with garments washed of manifold stains and'
slowly approaching whiteness. The'good cause has had
no heralds to cry Us victories, no trumpets to blaze its
triumphs. When the battle has been fought and the lit
■tle band collected, there have been too many vacant
places to bo filled, too many gaps to be supplied, to do
aught save thank God for the victory gained; thank God
that their comrades dying died martyrs for liberty.
Looking down the long vista of the future, aud Beeing
brave men. struggling and falling on other and better
fields to be fought and won, they have girded on their
arms, rushed forward to the contest, and died, as the
Apostle said all true men die. “in hope, not yet
having received the promise; out with their works
following them here iff the world they died to save. ”.
And in this our age, good men and true, reading the
record of the past aright, with the execrations of public
opinion lashing them, with the storm of obloquy, re
proach, and shame beatiDg upon them, faltering not in
their good work, preaching redemption to the nation
and salvation to its oppressed children; know that some
how and some time the end would be, and repeat in their
hearts thewordsof the wiseman, “Go not to the world, .
for if thou standest still long enough the world will
come round to thee. ” And it has come, slowly, stagger
ing 1 under its weary weight of woe and suffering; the
mists washed from its eyes by tears, the obstacles swept
away in seas of blood. . Thank Goa it has come. The
people, our people this people, have learned that we are
fighting for liberty, and a Union which shall mean con
solidated^■-liberty, not for the Union of Franklin Fierce,
and James Buchanan, of mob laws and lynch violence-
Wewould have bad that had we elected Mr. Breckin
ridge, and doubtless it would have been safe for four '
years at least. The South has so preferred it. But the
.North, only half awake, “seeing men as trees, walk
ing,” beholding the last line of sunligh trading out from
. its horizon, answered “Nay.” and, shaKing.itselfin its
..chains of half a century, slowly rose to recount its
.grievances. - ‘ '
It said, 44 In the beginning, oh, South, I saved you;
Massachusetts first springing to arms, sending from
eight to nine thousand more troops icto the field than
your.whole territory—Massachusetts saved you, South'
.Carolina, from the British arms and your own tories.
[Applause.] .—Plymouth Rock and the'grand Puritan
element growing/there;. New York, with its mingled
elements of earnestness and fire; Pennsylvania,, built
upon the Quaker foundations of j ustice and mercy, with
its Philadelphia and old Independence Hail; whose
wallsfirst echoed back, the speaking of words which
made crowned heads tremble,' and thrones totter, and
despotism shake to; its very centre, and whose top rung
out the peal which proclaimed ‘liberty throughout the
land,to all the inhabitants thereof!’—these, oh, South,
saved .yon—saved the-nation. : Then you wrung from
my unwilling'yet too generous hands grants andcon
• cessions to. which-you had no light, for yon had not
earned.them, and you gave nothing as an equivalent.
I knew it to be a yielding—l deemed it to be a tempo
rary yielding. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe —the - fathers : who ' expressed.-; the . utmost; dia
. trust of. that vile systenTwithin your borders—framed
their Constitution to admit of alteration and amendment -
whenever.the masses demanded it.; It was a progressive
. Constitution. It was, as. all Governments should be, a
mother of experiment.- South Carolina understood when '"
she ; signed that document that > it contained within it
powers which could withdraw,and overthrow any grant
she had - demanded and' received. Tn a word, the spirit
of the Constitution meant liberty. Have you'so.kept it?
Bid you so understand it? I see how you have wrung
* fresh virgin soil, time after time, from my grasp, that* it
might .be cursed with slave toil—ho.w you have taken
the public money, two-thirds of itdrawn from my labor, ,
and gone to war with the Indians, and with Mexico, for.
"the sake of slavery—how you have said to the oppressed
of the Old World, “You look to this flag for freedom,
behold how it is the only banner among nations that floats
over and protects the market of human beings oathehigh
seas.” .You have done moro than that; you-have done
away with the rights of majorities ; you have abolished
the habeas corpus by your fugitive slave law; you have
annulled the very property of the State ana:brought
slavery into the Congress of the United -States, and it
had its permanent jurisdictionin Washington, D. C. ‘
In time oi peace you (the South) stifled freedom of speech
and of the press, and the right of trial by jury, .which
were sacrei aud-iffy iolable* -What uuL £•’ Tflar'our..
presses, destroyed papers, rifled families,burned leaders,

more than rolled them into the Mississippi. They were
shot and hung; meD whose only crime was thsir North
ern birth, whose only offence was loving the Declaration
. of Independence too well. You (the South) have done
more than that. You have stretched abroad Kausae
'your wall of blackest infamy and crimson shame, bat
tered down only by the patience and faith and the mur
dered heroism of high and great souls. You have done
more than that. You have shut out presses.and:schools
and churches from the Territories because understand
ing, thought, . and religion were - incompatible with
your most accursed system. You. have destroyed one
hundred square miles of territory and kept unculti
vated twice-as much, mere, producing hundreds and
thousands of adults who- cannot read- or- write.
You baye shut my emigrants out of the territory,
because free labor will not compete with/slave ia
bon n ' You shall have no'.more . 1-say it for my white
men; I say itformy free laborers,andnofcforyour slaves.
Their rights I ignore now, but I will save myself. She :;
might have said more, but she did not. She might have
said, ‘‘You have come into my churches and blasphe
mously urged the men of, the pulpit, whose duty it
was to preach glad tidings of great joy—such men as
Dr. Spring, who said if he had but one prayer "to
oiler, and that prayer would liberate every slave, he
. would not offer it, because the Constitution sus
tained slavery You have pervertedriaw and frus

You have done worse than that. 'You have put your
hands on our great-brained and great-soulecbchildren;
you have peiverted their understanding, soiled their

have tainted them with ambition and promised them gain.
We have JVlsrch 7,1850, against you, when we rung funeral
bells for the great soui of the Massachusetts statesman.
.We wlllnomore of you; It might have saidthis. but it
did not. It simply said, .* 4 1 take,my stand onmy rights
ip-(be Territories.” go I (the North) fought my battles.
I fought in 1850; I almost won; you cheated me in;Penn
sylvania; you forged nine thousand papers in, .PMladel
'Pma. and ycu forged in other places. I 7 waited-. The
years were mine, and now I’ll conquer and prove trium
phant. Wliat then? We had secession, rebellion, civil
war. Why? The declaration oftbe sentiments passed in
the Charlcston Con'ventiOh; December 21,1860, tells why.
They, say it has been on the ground of the encroachments
. of the North on slavery, bypassing personal liberty bills
to nullify acts'of Congress and the fugitive-slave law.
- Was this true ? - If these bills—these laws —were uncou
.stUutional, even as they choose to interpret the Consti
tution, had they not their redress in the Supreme Court?
. Does.anybody aoubt.they would have had the. interpret
tation they.desired in a court over which presided a man.
who has dared to.thrust' his punv fist into the face of
Omnipotence by saying that the blackman has no rights
that the white man is bound to respect?, [Cheers. ] Weil,
they said, furthermore; .“that • tlie people; of the. North
have denied the'rights of property—rights of property
' Which flitted States recognize and the > Constitution has
* sanctioned. They have declared slavery to be a sin; they
have (and I quote the words of the resolution) elected a
naanto the-high oflice of President of thaUnhed States
whosepressesand -men aro opposed to us,and who have :
r Baid that slavery is in the course of natural extinction.
Our published principles are rendered vain by the fact that
the public opinion of the North has.imbibed the errone
ous rolitical idea, under the sanction of a religious ;Obli-:
fafcion. -Mark.; The . House of Representatives passed a '
ill, which provided that never, ,by any isubsequent
amendment', Congress should interfere: with slavery.
This-man, in his inaugural address said: ‘-‘ I have no ob
jection to its beingmade express.” It was not against.
the President’s acts they rebelled, but it was against his
opinions.-' Had any Northern State declared slavery to
;beasin?- Bad.they branded crime, a$ aStafce?.
Not. one. Tlie /people of the .North, through speeches,'
paper?; platforms; and pulpits, had so declared. ; What
then? The Co'ustitutionldeclared ,that Congress should
have nopower to abridge the liberty, of speech,'or of the
press, was the Constitution toflbe, overthrown; freedom
of .speech and of the press,'silenced at the North, when
ever it daredto say any word for liberty ? Where,
then, would have been your Constitution, or your
/Union?. The South rebelied and went out of the Union,
because liberty was in the Union. Being an aristocracy,
it went to war with the democracy that had proven too'
BtrongVfor it. They officially declared it to be so. .If
• this; rhen. is a war for ideas. what is left.ua but to raar
slial the democracy and liberty/against.their serried
hosts and-fight, for the freedom of the world is at stake ?
[Cheers. ] We must light-for the freedom of the world.
; Men on one side belie the contest, and cry out that it is '
a war for the nigger, and men on the other hand belie.it,
and say that;itis a war simply for the black man/ It is
tire people’s war for free government. [Loud applause.]
In the North all freedom and free ideas have been massed,
all the freedom of the world lias been massed there, while
opposed to this is all the despotism of the.world'massed
at theSouth'. Betweenthem is theblackmau. This it
iswell to understand. -Europe sneers at us; men at the ,
South cry.ouj against us; and things at the North hiss
out their amen to'them—[applause]—that the free insti
tutions of the North have failed;lt will be time enough
to say they have failed when America i 3 properly.repre
sented. [Applause.] You have an: opinion of the Go
vernment—one may- - have an opiniiiu. The North, has
had none, the Soutmhas. -It has ruled accordingly. It;
has held absolute power, and exercised that power as
they would'. Here, in this Republic, it is stated and as
serted that the people of . the South are the most aristo*
cr&tfc on which the sun ever shone. : ?
The Charleston Mercttry asserts, and the Richmond
Whig responds, that the right of/voting ahould be held a.
high privilege, to be enjoyed by; those only who are
worthy to exercise it. * , • ,!
The South asserts that the principle of slavery does not

in our . carrying orf- the, war, we have acted

aristocrats that have brought tho war upon us, and be
cause we have preferred the vain reputation of hurtful
clemency to that of our etern duty.
Because, more than that, we have atood and seen the

indirect nid and help to the South, to the enemies of the

It is of little consequence who is on the throne if tbere

words of this very man, that the revolutioayias begun;
and we'know,all know, that revolutions aevprgo back
Bemove the false leader who- betrayed his party, who
would betray the nation by' attempts to check the cha
riot wheels of war aud justice’.
Because we have seen earnest,, strong-hearled, true
souled men, able and; accomplished ofiicers and com
manders, removed from their place* of command at tlie
head of the army, for no other than one crime—sincere
love of their cause—sincere love of their country—stand
ing manfully by its defence, and doing everything that
they were ordered without questioning On the other
hand, we have seen men-retained in high positions, men
whose views and objects may be interpreted by the
words of that general out West, who, in speaking of the
i. resident s proclamation, declared that he would cast it
bach into his face, and leave him to be sacrificed- Or by
that other general in the Southeast, who said, that
rather than have the blaek man enrolled for the defence
of the country be would see the North beaten and de
stroyed, or else represented by a man who, with but a
two-dollar brain for planning bafLles, will not take the
counsel of skilful ofiicers, who' are able - and willing to
adopt active measures. Haileck is the maul
mean. [Loud and repeated applause ] And yet others
who would have done nothing-but led our armies to vic
tory have been taken from the army.
It may be said that there is something unpractical In
tins; that there ismo virtue in chopping into small things
Tr po. But there is a class of men in the North who seek
only to disparage and decry the most splendid
siup and the most gallant fighting that this war has
; who attempt to weaken the army and dishearten
its leaders. When the whole North was Btartled by the
splendid strategy of the battle of,Chancellorville, all '
eyes wore turned thither with anxiety; butwhen the
first note of danger was sounded these men in the North
* 3e § a ?..^ eir cry,-“Oh for. one hour of McClellaD
and biß courage, his indomitable skill and courage’”
His indomitable skill and courage! Did they mean by
thiß his great skill.and courage shown when he was
kept at hav by the wooden guns of Manassas—[ap
plause]—or when he was held with his whole army
before Yorktown by an enemy’s army of only eight
thousand men ?. Or is it the indomitable courage shown -
by leading; his soldiers only in retreat, being always
first in escaping from disaster, not knowing when ke !
was hiding away in hia gunhoats instead of leading
his great army to splendid victories? [Loud applause.]'
One hour of the skill and military genius of such
a .man when the army-at 'Chancellorville was in
.danger would have been fatal to our arms, for it would
have left of-that noble army nothing but broken,
and: shattered masses ,to be marcbea as prisoners
rto Richmond, while the capital of the nation would
have been left unprotected and undefended. Really
the courage and energy that saved the day ,wero
of a very different'stamp indeed; and we may sincerely
thank God that we had a brain great enougn to plan that
battle—and there is no doubt that, the plan was perfect
and clear enough—when a whole wing of his army failed
him at a critical juncture, to see tnat the only plan
then was to prevent a more complete disaster, what
should any discreet general have done but what was
done? To_shorten his lines and make them stronger
than they were before. Not as a paper at the Northi fool
hardy .and rash, has attempted to show that this was
; not true generalship, and I might add hundreds of other
papers, from the;hewlorkßeraZd-down to the filthy
litue sheet on Third street. / assistance was needed
and dangei-threatened, he rushed himself to the front
and exposed his person and his life, like the meanest of
his soldiers. So let us thank God that we have Hooker
to command. The eloquent lecturer at length reviewed
the part that had .thus iar been taken by the negroes in
behalf of the Union ctuse. In conclusion, she desired
that every man and every woman who .wished to aid
suppression of the rebellion, should be ready
to suffer in its behalf, until the straggle closes
Areyou strong enough.to die for.the cause? she said.
Do you recognize the immensity of this contest so that
you are ready to suffer until suffering shall pass into
death? Remember. Lyon- fighting so long as there was
a hand to grasp a riflej wield a sword, or point a cannon,
and. wlio believed that the cause was worth dying
for as long as there was a life.to be offered up. Do you
see through the smoke and flame of this contest Wia
throp, young and brave, a noble, manly life, cutaway ?
Dllswortli, young and brave, flashing out for a moment,
the flag twisted about hims and then dripping with his
blood.. Remember Baker, inarching in blood and flame
against Ball’s. Bluff, a living monument to all cominv
time of fame, honor, and self-sacrifice. And South Ca
rolina, sacred with Mitchel’s dying face'looking out
from it. [Applause. ] Men, too, falling thick as the dust
at Antietam, and Deny rushing forward and falLmg at
Chancellorville, besides two hundred thousand other
lives as hrave, as'strong, as earnest, unrecorded, offered
up.
This long line passes,in. solemn array, and lifting up
ns face to (rod, cries out.' “Avenge, avenge, avenge ns,
0 Lord God 17, and dropping his hand on you.'He waits
for your answer. Men of the North! Your weak regret
is waste of years Arise and pay to freedom and to them
the debt by following where they led the way. [Ap

ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN StTN
PAY-School Uxiox.— I The thirty-ninth anniversary, of
the American Sunday-School Union was celebrated last
evening at the Musical Fund Hall. The hour of com
mencement was a quarter to eight o’clock, and thepresi-.
dent appointed, John A. Brown, Esq.
The religious exercises consisted in the singing
of. several hymns, the offering up of prayer, and the
reading of the Scripture by Rev. Franklin Moore.
Addresses of more than usual interest aud intelligence •
were‘delivered, with simple and earnest eloquence,
by Rev. Dr.‘Newton, Rev. F. W. Conrad, Rev. E.
.E. Adams, and Rev. H. C. Trumbull. The abstract
of the annual report, ly M, A. Wurfcs, Secretary of
Missions, was read. It stated that the society has
been enabled to retain its entire missionary force during
tbe past year, and the results of their labors are such as
to greatly encourage all who take an interest in this
bletsed mission to the childrenof oar land. Among the
difficultiesdncident to the present state of the country,
one of the missionaries in Wisconsin says that, in a
large number of the schools he visited, there was,not a
male officer,or teacher, all having gone to serve their
country, and.devoted women had engaged to supply
their places; and that yon rarely pass a farm, where noble
•women are not engaged, both indoors and out, in sup
plying the places of men who have gone to the war.
The Indian outbreak has been another fruitful source
of trouble, rendering the services of a number of their
faithful laborers, almost entirely unavailable for nearly '
three months-of the working season. In spite of all
this, they have been successful in organizing 860 new
Sunday schools in the destitute districts of our West
ern and Northwestern States, and have gathered into
them .5,227 teachers and 54,626 scholars, Tor the study
of: the Holy Scriptures. They have also, by their vi
sits, addresses,' and by donations, amounting to about
Six .thousand' dollars, added 3,364 schools, embracing
28.657 teachers and 193,430 scholars. To accomplish
this work, they have travelled throifgh heat,-and
cold, .on . foot, and by conveyance -in
their jcurneyings 4,'275 . Bibles and Testament's, and,
making, about 5,000 addresses. •In addition to the visits
to Sunday schools, they have, as an indispensable part
of the work to be done, called on over .16,000 families.
Tbe missionary goes to one of these neglected neigh
borhoods, where the sound of the church-going hell is
never heard. snd visits from house to house, taking with
him the Holy Scriptures, the tract, the religious paper.
He assembles the family together to read the Bible, and
bows with them in supplication to the Throne of grace ;
-and often, in this way, by the blessing of God, reaches
the hearts of some wandering ones who, in 'days past,
have: known bet f er things, and better ways, and leads
them back from their .wanderings to the foldof Christ
again. A number .pfinterestdng-extracts from letters of
missionaries"’were read, showiag the practical opera
;tions-of the society," and the great amount of good ac
complished through their efforts in advancing tne king
dom of our blessed Redeemer, who has said, “Suffer
little children to come unto me, and forbid them not.’*
The report further shows the following receipts and
expenditures. Receipts— Contributions, legacies, &c.,-
$46,483 S 3. , Balance, being excess of expenditures in
missionary -work, $9,438.15. Total, $55,921 98. •'
Expenditures— Balance, being excess o» expenditures
in missionary receipts from last year,
' $10,950.35. Amount of salaries paid missionaries, and
expenses, of the department, $36,023 61. Amount ex
pended by auxiliary societies, $3,353.78. Books, and
other requisites given to needy Sunday-schools, $5,594.24.
-Total, $55,921.98, ■ ■ . . ... - .
•. The Publication Department has met with a gratify
ing measure of prosperity. ~Of thirty-eight publications
added to the catalogue during the past year, twenty-one
■Were original,•, and seventeen reprints.- The only two
periodicals the Society publishes— The Sunday-School
World and The Child's world —have shared generously
in the "“tyonage of the copimitnity, and have been com-
Mehded by 'whoso judgment is of weight. The
amount of books, periodicals, &c., circulated during the
past year was $136,207 60.
The reading of the report was listened to with that de
gree of attention which its very greit interest demanded.
The "audience was very-large, and one of the most
pleasing features of the occasion was the singing of the
hymns, in. which the congregation generally joined.
The platform was occupied by prominent clergymen and
others connected with the association. The affair was
one of both business and pleasure,' and as such was en
joyed by all who participated. . - -
Episcopal Convention.— Yesterday
afternoon, the annual session of the Diocesan Con
vention, of the Proteßtant Episcopal Church, was
commenced at St. Andrew’s Church, Eighth street,
above Spruce. There was 8 large attendance from
all parts of the Diocese. Among those present, were

If the notes are examined.closely, the fraud can be
readily detected; but as people, when handling
“greenbacks,” generally notice the denominations

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
THE MONEY MARKET.
, v Mat 26—Evening.
There was a very active and excited gold market to
day, the want of official news relative to Vicksburg de
veloping a speculative movement ; opening at 143#, gold
fell to 142, when the demand became very active from
non-believers in the success of our armF, on which it
rallied to 145, fell off to 144. rose again to 115#, which is
the figure at the moment of writing. The uncertainty of
the result of events so important as those now tran
spiring on the Mississippi is highly favorable to those
speculatively inclined; for, between the commencement
of the movement and its termination, some weeks must
elapse, during which time the market fluctuates accord
ing as success or failure seems predominant. Everybody
acknowledges that Vicksburg ought to fall; that, if it
does so, gold ought to fall with it. Now comes the ques
tion, “ Will Vickshurg.be taken? Everything seems
prosperous, hut it is not our luck; the rebels are wary,
and'have interior lines, "etc. Sach arguments as these
engender speculation. Pu'tios take the risk, and win or
lose as the current for or against them from day to day
decides. The success.of Government finances willgene
rally make gold speculations unprofitable; but'when
great movements, like the presont, are afoot, consuming
much time in their accomplishment, opportunities for
profit-present themselves, which many have,not the
courage to witli&tand, and the price.of gold fluctuates as
the mass of operators grow feaiful or confident of results.
’■ Government securities were stronger to-day, !oS@loB#

is again easy, the demand being quite active at six per

demand. News from Vicksburg is awaited with intense
anxiety. The subscriptions to the five-twenty loan
amounted to three million dollars-at 4 o’clock P. M.
The Stock market was moderately active, witli prices
generally steady, some of the fancies showing a weak
side. Speculation in this department is not at an end;
tlie fate of Vicksburg decided, pro or con, stocks must
be active. If General Grant is beaten.back and loses the
•prize, visions of more paper money float, before the eyes .
of eager operators; if he is victorious, the amount al
ready afloat will sustain prices, and the vim given to the""
people having loose eash will be so great that they will.
