THE NEWS.
COREEEPONDENCE and despatcheafrom Vickiburg
repeat a recent fight near Milliken's Bendj , when
our soldiers were driven to the river, and then pro
tected by the gunboats. The negro troops, at first,
*were surprised and, broke, hut afterwards fought
b•avely. Our troops have also been attaeked at
young's Point. News in the rebel papers reports .a
'victory of Kirby Smith's forces in 'the vicinity, of
Milliken's Bend, and partially confirms our own ac
counts. The siege is progressing with confidence
and industry, and the rebels, according, to the most
intelligent accounts, are failing in ammunition and
isuppliee, and gradually verging to a capitulation..
Grant has an immense army, now that he has been
largely reinforced, and is ably defended on all sides
. flom the most formidable approach of Johnston.
The report that General McOlernand was placed
under arrest is condemned by many corresriondents
as a canard. General McOlernand has acquitted
Himself with great bravery , throughout the Vicks
burg campaign, and in the assault upon the fortifies.-
- cons gained conspicuous advantages. The rebel
'commander, Pemberton, was ‘ still unpopular in the
'.Routh, and not much was hoped from his general
'fillip. Some. of• our own correspondents seem to
think that his campaign has been a aeries of eccen
tric failures.
THE MEXICAN NEWS which we publish today is
of a more reliable and intelligible character than
previous deepatehee. Puebla has surrendered, but
under no diehenorable conditions. General Hen
doza, on the 16th of May, was sent to.the French
camp to oiler the 'sun ender on condition that the
(lacers be permitted to have their side-arms, and
the force to march to Mexico, and report to the Ge
neraf Government. These conditions were finally
panted, With , the exception that General Forey or
dered the Mexican force to march to Orizaba, there
to await in inactivity the conclusion of the war.
On the way to Olizaha, it is reported, two thousand,
among them Ortega, ercaped. Nonpof the Alexicyl,
generals acceded to Forsy's terms of Surrender and
all showed invincible patriotism. President Suarez,
it.is reported, has removed Comonfort from com
mand, for failing to succor the garrison, and General
Log flit Zfl is now in command of the forces defending
the Capital of 'Mexico. The American consul, for
What reason, is. not stated, has-been placed under
arrest by General Porey.
• . seems evident that the foray of Mosby into
Maryland was intended to be contemporaneous with
that of Jeb Stuart. Mosby was to act as the ad
vance, and, by threatening one point, induce a
withdrawal of our forces to defend that point, and
thus weaken the defences at the ford intended to be
used by Stuart. Mosby operated east of the Bull
Bun, and Katoctin mountains, while it was pro.
lbahlkintended that Stuart should cross to the west
of these ranges, Now, that the movements of the
main body under Stuart have beea frustrated,-Mos

he is cut off.
Gov. CURTIN has issued a proclamation -to the
people of the State. He recognizes the necessity of
placing the State border in a condition of defence, in
view of the contemplated offensive operations of
the rebel yi'my, and calls upon our citizens to re
epond to The appeal of the General Government,
and fill the ranks of the corps in the departments to
be commanded by Gene Brooks and Couch. The
latter commander -issues a general order, calling for
volunteers, and providing for the organization of a
defensive corps.

The Defenees of Pennsylvania.
The general orders which we print to-day,
relative to the defence of this State against
invasion, will be read with feelings of relief
and satisfaction by every citizen of the Com
monwealth, and, indeed, by every loyal eiti
zen,in the land. It is undeniable that con
siderable uneasiness has prevailed in the
community for some weeks past respecting
the probability of a second invasion of our
soil by a portion of the rebel army under
LEE. The enemy made no secret of their
plans and intentions. They stood in need
of food, clothing, and ammunition, and they
hoped to satisfy these wants, at least partial
ly, by a repetition of their raid into the
Cumberland valley, With this design their
entire cavalry force was massed at Culpeper
last week. It was satisfactory to hear that
it had been driven from that point with cort•
siderable loss on Tuesday last, and that
General PLEASANTON had gained an import
ant victory ; but the inference that the
enemy's scheme was thereby wholly frus
trated was, perhaps, premature, and it is .
impossible to foretell at what moment
the danger we thought averted may
confront us in some new direction.
In time of war it is the Part:of wisdom and
of prudence to lie prepared for any emer
gency; and especially so, when the expe
rience.of the past and the evidence of the
present unite to warn us that the emergency
is liable to occur at any moment., When
the foe is at Our door, it is not a time to
drill the militia and ring the alarm-bells.
If we are discreet we shall commence to do
these things now. As a State, we have the
men and arms to organize a force sufficient
for the protection of our honor and our
homes, if it were desirable. that we should
take independent action in the matter. But
this is a national war, and the -National
dovernment is competent to protect the
humblest of its citizens in the undisturbed
enjoyment of his rights and possessions,
against all invading foes. As no such prin
ciple of mutual dependence binds the States
of the "so-called Southern Confederacy"
to4ether, but each claims to be sovereign,
so, as the armies of the rebellion are crushed,
each - State is thrown upon its own resources
for its defence. It was but a few weeks
since that Gov. BnowN, of Georgia, hearing
of the fall of Jackson, Mississippii.andanti---
cipating thelate of Vicksburg, called upon
the citizens of the State to arm for the• pro
tection of their borders, as the " Confederate
Government " could furnish no assistance.
'We cannot contrast this exhibition, of weak
31QESS with 'the concentrated resources and
vigor of our Government, which, while it
conducts an offensive war on a most gigantic
scale, does not expose its own territory to
assault, without a feeling of pride that we.
are still a nation with cohesivenes aid
power. We feel that the danger of a rebel
invasion, to which we were exposed, has in
great part passed away. We feel that with
the control , of the State defences in the
bands of such able generals as COUCH and
33noorts our homes and properties are secure
from outrage and destruction. But much
.depends, likewise, upon ourselves. We can
.not
,expect the Government to do every
-thing. We must respond to its call as we
shave responded to every former call that has
- been made upon our patriOtism. If we do
this, mild it is not much to do, we may rest
assured that neither . dipaster nor shame can
come upon our, Commonwealth.

The Celebration.
The members of the Democratic Club, in
a surly note from its secretary, Mr. limit.
BILL, 'who has the bad taste to intrude offen-
sive opinions into a mere business conimu
nication, have declined to yield up - Inde-
pendence Square for the great national cele
bration of the Fourth of July. Perhaps it
was hardly to be expected that such a con
cession would be made, as it has been the
custom of- the Democratic party to hold a
partisan meeting upon. the seine .hallowed
ground on the morning of that day. These
meetings, to be sure, have been very in
significant gatherings for the past few years,
and the custom has almost fallen out.of re--.
pute. It is to be revived again on the
coming Fourth, and with many efforts to
give - it enthusiasm and character. What
the gentlemen of the Union League will do
we hardly know; but we understand that
their celebration will take place in Fair
mount Park. Apart from the associations
around Indeperidence Hall, we think the
Park a far. more preferable place. We see
by the letter-of the League Committee that
the intention' Was to have erected, in the
Square, accommodations for many thousands
of people. In a place so contracted as the
Square, in the heart of a great city, walled
in, pent up, environed 'with railways and
noisy running cars, it would have been - a
difficult matter to , have erected accommoda
tions for such a vast number .of people, and
at the same time preserve the conveniences
,necessary fer exit and entrance and for
safhlY in case of danger, or shelter in case
of storm. All these advauta.ges may be ob
tained in the Park, together with other ad
vantages in the way of fine scenery and
great natural beauty. The people of Phila
delphia can, readily - assemble on the banks
of the Schuylkill river, and, under the au
spices of the League, give a proper welcome
to the great men who are to be with us, and
at the same time manifest their loyalty and
devotion. In addition. to this, they may
very conveniently,cause their different - pro
cessions to . rendezvous at this place, and
thus add to the grandeur of the display:
As yet we have a faint idea of the nature
of this celebration. The announcement of
the " Committee of the Procession" is be
wildering. They invite everybody, or asso
ciation of men that. can be persuaded to
become a part of a public display, from the
"soldiers of any arm of the service " down
lit h o "citizens on foot." This in itself com
bines a militaryparacle, a firemen's parade,
and -a parade, of mechanics and artisans, in
which brawny men are to work the loom,
and anvil, and press before admiring thou
, sands. It is a great . undertaking, and
particularly if managed in the proper way.
To organize, arrange, and discipline large
bodies of men—some of whom are accus
tomed to march, while others have as little
idea of it as thdy have - of a cavalry charge
,
is one of the most embarrassing problems
that can be attempted. There are a hun
dred perplexing questions. Precedence,
time, displays, and the feelings of rivalry
and pride that creep into such demon
strations, must - all be reconciled. Then, - in
addition to this, we must have the -proper
tone that should be seen in such a display.
One subject alone will cause embarrassment,
and that is the political "character Of the
celebration. There are many eager friends
who no doubt think that the cause will be
best served 'by violent demonstrations, and
transparencies and banners emblazoned
with bitter and exceptional phrases. While
this . -would be in the worst possible taste, it
would also be—Contrary to the Spirit of the
.day. We de - sire to see all loyal men, with
, out distinction of party, thtis assembled,
and we would recommend to the committee
that the Union, the war for the Union, and
the Administration for the war; be the sum
and. substanCe of every legend and inscrip
tion. A hundred:thousand men will follow
such a banner.
In addition to this, it is said, we are to
have a meeting in the Park, and, although
we know it only as a rumor, a banquet at
the Academy "of Music. We•have not.been
- told the name of the orator, nor the man
ner of the • preceedingi it the Park, but
we can easily see 'that Mr. Gannolts and
his committee -have as much en, their.
Alemen can be '.expected to manage....
Their task is one that requires suppbit
and sympathy—they. must expect embar
rassment - . now and recrimination after-,
wards. There-are really few men who can
take a prominent part in this celebration, as
there are but; ten
,available hours in the
Fourth. of July, the 'choicest parts of 'which
Must be`given to our guests.- How to 'crowd
the orator's and elocutionists and writers of
verses into this fragment of a day, gratify
ing ;their , ambition, and, at the same time,
pleasing the people,.is a very difficult and
perilous thing, and the committee will es
cape - the woes of ordinary committees if it
avoids the confusion and clamor that con
stantly:arise afthesetimes. There is a sine=
ple - way of solving this, however, and that
is to invite the best men, show-them every
courtesy and opportunity, and so arrange
matters that the people shall be gratified.
For, after all, it is not the orator, : nor - the
guest, nor the- columns of- marching-men,
- nor the endless rows of amiable and
talkative. gentlemen exchanging courtesies
oyer their:Ml:lle, that give meaning and ma
jesty 'to these occasions. We -go to
the people, and - from the heart of the people
the triumph and profit will come. . •
The Prorogation of the Illinois Legis-
lature.
The Legislature of Illinois having failed,
upon Alonday last, to-agree upon a time for
adjournment, was prorogued indefinitely by
Governor YATES on the following day.
There is nothing very extraordinary in this
circumstance to justify the commotion
which has be-en made about it. The action
of Governor YATES did not transcend any
law of the State, but, on the contrary, was
in exact accordance with the letter of the
State Constitution, section thirteenth of
which reads:ay follows : "In case of disa
greement between the two Houses with re
spect to the time of adjournment, the Go
vernor shall have power to adjourn the Gene
ral Assembly to such time as he may think
'proper, Provided it be riot to a 'period 'be
yoncl the next constitutional meeting of the
'same." It is not Possible-to mistake the
purport or signification of this :provision;
nor do we see how ifs propriety can be called
in, question. It could only have been en
acted with, a view of providing a means of
adjusting:differences of a partisan or other
nature-which are.liable to arise in all legis
lative bodies, and which, for the sake
of the peace and good character of the
community, require to be settled, by some,
the New York World, speaking upon the
subject, feels called upon to assert,that Go
vernor YATES "has deliberately undertaken
to prOrogue the Legislature of that State for
two years, or, in other words, to suspend
the Constitution, and proclaim himself the
sole representative of the power of the peo
ple." 'Phis is simply ridiculous. Instead
of suspending the ,Constittition, he was, in
fact, acting in`obedience'to its requirements..
It was not a matter of choice—not a matter
of expediency—not a shrewd political =Love
ment designed to accomplish some obnox
ious purpose—not a coup d'etat, as the Worlil,
in the simplicity of its faith, professes to be
lieve. It was a duty obligatory upon the
Governor. He had sworn to obey the laws
of the State, and could not evade the respon
sibilities of that oath without committing
the crime of perjury. We are pleased with
the prompt, bold, and manly action of Go
-vernor YATES in the premises, and are more
than ever convinced of his-fitness for the
high office to which his fellow-citizens have
elected him.
The United States Loan.
The sales of the United States six per cent.
loan, immense as they have been daily for
many weeks past, continue rather to in
crease as the first of July approaches.
'After that date it - will be impossible to-sub

The Races.
We have been at a loss to discover why
it is that the-race-course in America is such
a different institution from the race-course
in England. There is something genial,
frank, and ennobling in the rough out-door
pursuits and sperts of the English people;
he turf is as much of an institution as Par
liament, and the Derby Day is a national
anniversary. :NOr do we see any harm in
raising and developing horses, and testing
their speed , before a multitude ,of people.
Prndently managed; the turf must do much
towards iMproVing the qualities of the
horse, making him a more :nseful and va
luable ' animal: Of course there 'will' be
abuSes. .IMen will gamble, and shrewd
cunning, 'men will give a race as much ex--
citement as a battle, or the stock exchange.
This itself should not be suffered to
lessen the material good that is gained ; and
we should overlook the evil, as it is done in
England; sinee we cannot overcome if.
There, horses are raised carefully and tested
fairly, and the noblest in all the laud go
rind see. In America, hoWevar, the turf is
anOther,institution. We have all the faults,.

the compensating features.
The menl . have charge of the turf are
mere horsejockeys and speculators, who
bring mostly indifferent horses into the
race, and- change money on the: result.:
There is no emulation among :respeetable
;men—no effort to have what are really
trials of speed, and exhibitions Of an
mcl's strength, beauty; and:swiftuess. In
the :the turf is very much as it is in
England—the races` on the Metairie course
wear Neiv Orleans being_conducted on the
plan of the 'Derby, and under the patron
age of the best men in the State. It is not
so in the North, hoivevercerteinly not so
in Pennsylvania. —Our people are either
driven from the turf by the bad men who
control :it, or their habits of :life, , their

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL,'
WAsinNuTox, June 12, 1863
I have been pained to read the accounts
that have been printed in reference to the
tronbles in Pennsylvania and some of the
Western States arising out of the operations
of, the Officers of enrolment. The agents of
the law quietly proceeded about their busi
ness, when " some men who were hidden in
a wheatfield rose up and fired, killing De
puty Marshal Stevens and mortally -Wound
ing Clayfield. The commissioner, who was
in the house, fled, but received one ball
through his hat and a second through.this
coat in escaping." I quote this from a
Western paper, as an account of what took
place in Rush county, Indiana. In Monroe
county, of your State, the opposition seems
to have confined itself to malicious mis
chief and. arson, the - work of assassination
being reserved, perhaps, until another
time. There are indications that in other
parts - of the country the same scenes will
be repeated. This is altogether a very
grave and solemn matter, and it must be
met. Either the Government is right or -
wrong. Deputy Marshal Stevens-was doing
his duty, or not. lf the former, then he was
murdered in its discharge ; if not, then it
was a wanton. assassination. Of course,
there can be no dispute - as to the facts.
He was an "officer of the Government, obey
ing the orders of the President, and endea
voring to carry into effect an act of Con
gress. There can be, but one result. The
men who 'murdered him must -give their
blood as an atonement for blood.. We must
have an earnest, unflinching enforcement of
the laws. "The Provost Marshal," says
the authority whoselfacts I am rehearsing,
"will arrest the parties, and enforce the en
rolment at all hazards. ' ' This is axit -- ;
and,- while we regret it should be so, we

that should not be forgotten. The blood
that has been shed does not merely
fall upon the - angry - men who fired mus
kets from a -wheat field in Indiana,. nor
upon the ignorant and malicious people of
Monroe. They were but the instruments of
badlmen, and I charge their crimes upon
the writers and - orators of the Democratic
party ; upon journalists Elie . the editor of
the World, and leaders . like Fernando
Wood. They are the rear, assassin& By
Misrepresentation and faliehood ; by bring
ing reproaCh upon the A.dmiiaistration, and
denouncing the, wat as .mere. bldodshed in
behalf of the negro ; by gathering together,
large hodiesof men, and inflaming them by
:violent speeches; by nursing incompetent
generals into, agents of sedition; and per
sistently preaching - the rights of States as
paramount to the safety-of the Government;
by depreciating every victory, and exagge
rating every defeat; by dishonorableschemes
of peace ; and, more than all, by constant,
ceaseless, unremitting, shameless - appeals to
violence ; by organizing, in barns and by
places, under oath, to resist the draft ; by
keeping the - .people in ignorance, and con
stantly stimulating their passions, they have
led to this, and, in all probability, to deeds
far more violent I charge these men with
the blood that has.been shed - in Indiana, and
arraign them before the, country as•the
turbers of its peace, the enemies of its
honor, and the assassins of its `servants. The
teachings of bad men are bearing their hor
rible results, and it becomes loyal merle very
-where to do what is-possible to enlighten
the - people, and save them froth:the fate that'
,
a further persistence in "crime will surely

humanity and, justice, for I believe that, bO4

the most reliable of whim is that General-- Kirby
Smith, instead of being at Port Hudson, has taken
Milliken's Bend and cut off Grant's supplies.
It is reported that Jackson's cavalry have .eut
their way to Vicksburg. Jackson has evidently
done something.
neavy firing is heard from, Vicksburg. Grierson
is believed to have been driven five miles froin Clin
ton, Louisiana.
Mortara, June 9.—/A special despatch to the Ark
verliter s Regi.ster from Jackson, Bth, says : " a. cou

and artillery today:
Mortara, June 9.—A private despatch from Jack
son. Bth instant, reports Vicksburg all right. Kirb
Smith is in possession of Milliken's Bend.
Our despatches from the Southwest still continue
to be of the most cheering 'character. The brave
garrison or Vicksburg is as confident of success
and determined as ever, and Kirby Smith, with
ten thousand men, is said to occupy 1VMM:el:II
Bend, some twenty miles above Vicksburg, on the
right bank of the Mississippi. and to cut off Grant'si
supplies. It will be noticed that all the reports con-i
in the fact that the Yankee losses at Vicksburg:
and Port Hudson have been enormous. ' No wonderi
that Grant calls for reinforcements.
FURTHER DETAILS. ,
MEMPHIS, June 12.—The steamer Fort Wayne ar l
rived here from below today. She brings no late
dates than the Bth. No guerillas were seen on ,
th
way up.
The fight at Milliken's Bend, on Sunday last, was
a sanguinary affair, much larger than-was rat:
reported. The rebels, under McCullough, were twq
thousand five hundred strong, while the - Federal
force consisted of three negro regiments and the 23i
lowa Regiment..
The rebels made a' desperate charge at dayligh
when the negroes broke in confusion but on fint
ing that their captured companions were bein ,
slaughtered they were rallied, and with great desp+
ration drove the rebels back. The loss was lravy
on both sides.
The guerillas destroyed portions of the railreord
track near Germantown last night. The damale
was slight and soon repaired-' The rebel foroes n

The Spies Lately Executed.
(Corretpondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.]
D4I3I:FREICSBORO, „Tune .e.—The execution Of:the
two spies, Dunlariand Orton, is the universaltheine:
of conversation.; • Various:Circumstances lead to the.
belief that they came into our lines for a different our
pose' than'to merely learn_the number 'of our roves
and the nature of our: fortifications Frankibti.
In the first place, they had abundant means, whietl

of our force there. ~That: they didicnow this the his

A Frain. it :is certain that in the recent attack upcin
the team they could have learned moat of thefacts
which were of importance to „them concerning our
fortifications. Again, the spies appeared.very aux,.
joins to get on to Nashville, declaring , they_inipiV
reach that point last night. They further said , they,
were going to Canada and Europe on business con. ,
netted with'the inspector general's office, and ..this,*
more than anything else,,excited suspicion against;
them. The obvious infereece is, that-theyVbre seek-;

I find entertained there by others, that they were
emissaries from the rebel Government, endeavoring,
to make their way North, ri
fin; the .purpole of
u
lring and conspiring with miserable traitors in - -,
that section. They were clothed in the uniform of
our officers, with horses, trappings, and equipments,
Dunlap claiming to be a major; and Orton 'a colonel.,
The audacity of the men is beyond parallel. It is
notknown how they got within our lines. They..,
utterly refused to tell how they had come, orwhj,
were their objects.

KENTUCKY.
The Battle near Mantke.ello.
SOMRRBET, Ky., June 11.. The rebels were corn
,.letely surprised by the advance movement of our
orces. On the lOth, after driving the rebels through
Monticello; our forces continued for three miles on
the Jamestown road in pursuit.
I It not being our intention to hold the place, our
forces began their retreat at one o'clock P. pt., leav ,
hg a rear guard, composed of companies A'and F of
e 46th Ohio, and parts of companies of the 21 and.
qth Ohio Cavalry.
(Our men were, but little molested till we ap
proached Oapt. West's, eight miles this side of Mon
ticello, where Perramhs forces overtook the rear
guard, and the fighting commenced in earnest. We
were now reinforced by the remainder of the 21l
Tennessee and 46th Ohio Regiments, under corn•
mend of Col. Carter. The whole of 001. Kantz'e
i command now moved against .the enemy; who were
! pressed back one mile. Taking a position behind a
stone wall, they made a stubborn stand, and finally
pressed our men heavily with greatly superior nu m
beis, and compelled them to fall back fifty yards.
The 2d East Tennessee Cavalry then dismounted,
and were ordered into tire woods, where the enemy
was now spreading his forces. This regiment came
on in a splendid manner on the doublikquick, and,
raising a shout, dashed among the rebels, who were
soon compelled to fall back.
It was now dark, and the fight for the time being
over, and our forces being numerically inferior to
those of the enemy, Colonel Kautz wisely deter
mined on retiring about four miles, where our men
bivouacked. and this morning returned to the high
lands opposite this place, which they were ordered
by General Carter to hold, No enemy having ap
prated, our forces have been withdrawn from the
battleground to this place. The 7th Uhio Cavalry,
under command of Colonel Garrard, was our rear
Our men, this morning, were not much harassed by
the enemy, but were much fatigued. We lost, as
far as known, four killed, thirty-four wounded, and
six missing. We captured, at the same time, Lieut.
Tiylor, of Phipps' Battery, add four privates.
Info) motion received since the tight from the other
side of thefiumberland shows conclusively that the
rebels - acre badly whipped on Tuesday. The rebels
report a loss ,of sixty, and that Col. Ashby was
wounded in the foot. They sent in a flag of truce
during Tuesday night, to look - after their dead and
wounded, supposing that we yet held the field.

GENERAL PEMBERTON'S EFFICIENCY DIS-
CUSSED.
[Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.]
The greatest apprehensions are caused by the uni
verbal want of confidence in the tenacity of purpose
and judgment of Lieutenant General Pemberton.
That he /5 zealous there can be no doubt. That his
air, bearing, and prompt address are military is un
mistakable. That he is busy and brave is certain.
But of his mental calibre and moral firmness it
would be idle to say that there are not the gravest
misgivings. He has the reputation of a strict disci
plinarian, and of being devoted to his profession.
As" an executive officer simply, he would do well.
In - the field, under orders of such men as Lee,
Johnston, and Beauregard, and not in too high a
position, he would probably be very useful. Bat
the verdict of the country is that he is nar
row and vacillating,.and unfit for any such import
ant posts as Vicksburg and Charleston. A.fter the
gratuitous abandonment of the Stono river—thus
inviting an attack on Charleston—he officially ad
vised the dismantling and destruction of all the forts
in the harbor. Charleston was saved by the decided
and emphatic disapproval of this extraordinary re
commendation by General Lee' and the President,
and by the heroic conduct of the feeble and exhausted
force .left at Secessionville. Yet the author of such
a proposition, who was noffimar Secessionville, upon
removal from Charleston was promoted anffiput in
charge of Vicksburg, instead of in the field, under
Lee, as was expected. Johnston may retrieve Pem
berton's ascertc d errors hut the fear is here that he
reached Vicksburg too fate -to be able to make the
needfill repairs. He was in Montgomery last Sun
day. Grant is an 'able and persistent man. There
are grounds for apprehension.

it would be a great advantage if the music to be

NEW JERUSALEM . CHURCH IN AMERICA.
—A General Convention of the New Jerusalem
Church in America has been in session since Thurs
day last, in theplaceof worship, Cherry street, west
of Twentieth. The Proceedings yesterday opened
with de.votional exercises, after • which a resolution
was offered that whereas, certain persons not now
members of the society, and who had thus forfeited
the right to exercise the ministerial function, and
still claimed to do so, therefore resolved, that there
could be no rightful claim to fill the ministerial office
except under the constitution of the society, and
that the conduct of such persons was disorderly ; and
at vai•iance - with the established rules of the church.
Eefored to the Committee on Ecclesiastical Affairs.
It was resolved to contribute towards the erection
of a church in San Francisco, the committee aft.
pointed to prepare an account of the introduction of
the denomination into that city having presented a
favorable report.
• The address of the President of the General Con-
Vention of the New Jerusalem Church in Great Bri
tain was-read.
A. preamble and resolution - was offered that,
fehereas, all the members of any body are intimately
complicated with the moral quality of its action;
and, whereas, in human governments the form
and the spirit are so divorced that the best form is
often perverted to the worst uses, as evidenced in
the perversion of the institutions of this country to

Flag-raising by the
.. 66 Athletic 7, Base'
Ball Club.
Yesterday was a proud day in the history of this
popular base-ball club of Philadelphia. The lady
friends of its members, some time ago, resolved to
make the latter a present of a handsome flag, which
was very gracefully acted upon yesterday, at their ,
play-ground, Seventeenth and Master streets, when
a beautiful flag, got up in their usual superior style,.
by Messrs. Evans & Hassell, 418 Arch street, con
taining in immense letters the single word " Athle
tic," Was presented to the club, on behalf of the
ladies, by Par. John G. Howard. There was a large
company of ladies and gentlemen in attendance, to
witness the interesting ceremony of presenting,
raising, and cheerink this nowolmost adored em
blem of our nationality, and when its virgin folds
were flung to the breeze, from the top of an eighty
feet staff, the shout that went up from the specta
tors, and the waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies,
presented a scene at once worthy of the fair doeori
of the gift and the gentlemen of the flourishing and
highly-respected club whom it was intended to
honor. After the "raising," the first and second
Nines of the "Athletic" played a spirited game,
eliciting the admiration and applause of all
who witnessed it. We may state,. in this connec
tion, that, on Monday next, the 15th instant, the
first Nine of the "Athletics," accompanied by their
president and a number of members and friends of
the Club, will start for New York, for the purpose
of playing the "Exceleiors," of Brooklyn, on the
afternoon of that day. On Tuesday, they will play
the "Mutual's," at Hoboken ; .on Wednesday, the
"Eckforde," at Brooklyn; on Thursday, the "At
lantics," at Brooklyn ; on Friday, the " Unions," at
Morrisania, and on Saturday, the " Eurekas," at
Newark. The object of this excursion is most com
mendable, and cannot fail to add to the popularity
of this manly national game, and promote the fra
ternal relations between the players and their friends
in the sister cities. The following gentlemen have
the' honor to represent, activsly, the "Athletics" in
this contemplated tour : Messrs. Moore, Berker.
stock, Pratt, Kleinfelder, Paul, Wilkins, Mcßride,
Tbeo. Ben:Meter, M; Smith, Gaskill, Gratz, and
Loughery; Col. D. W. C. Moore, a gentleman of ex
uberant social qualities and a star player, to act as
captain. The committee having the trip in charge
is composed of Colonels Moore and Yitzgerald, and
Richard W. Benson, Esq.
SIINDAY-SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY OF THE
FOIMTEI BAPTIST CHURCH.—The forty-sixth anni
versary of the Sunday-schools connected With the
Fourth Baptist Church, Fifth and Buttonwood
streets, was held in that edifice on last Sunday after
noon, at 3 o'clock. The attendance was very large,
every part of tbe.church having been filled to over;
flowing, long before the hour of commencing had
arrived. From the annual report, read by the su
perintendent, John AL Evans, Esq., we learned that
the schools now number 617 scholars, presided oyer
by 48 teachers. During the revivaL in this church,
last winter and spring, 63 were admitted to the com
munion of the church from these -schools. The
singing on the occasion was admirable, the addresees
excellent, and the entire proceedings eminently ere.
ditable to all concerned. Addresses were made byf
A. M. Spangler, Esq., Col. E. lit. Gregory, of the
91st Regiment, P. V., Rev. I. Hyatt Smith, and.
Rev. R. Jeffrey, pastor of the church.
DELICIOUS CONFECTIONSFOR SIMMER.—
Now that many of our citizens are preparing to
leave the city for a season, we feel called upon to
mention the fact that one of the most important
preparatory requisites to making a trip of this sort,
is a budget of E. G. Whitman & Co.'s confections.
Their. jarge new store, No. 318 Unestout street, is
now daily crowded with customers, .vho are acting
upon this suggestion, and those who fail to do so
will find that they have made a vital mistake, as
the difference fietween E. G. Whitman & con
fections and those manufactured by other parties is
almost as wide as is the distinction between a horse
chestnut and a r chestnut horse.
THE THREATENED INVASION OF PENN
syLvAntA.—General Couch, General Schenck, and
General Brooks visited Harrisburg on Thursday to
consult with Governor Curtin relative to the
threatened invasion of our State by the rebel caval
ry, and energetic measures will be taken to prevent
it. In the meantime, it is agreed upon all sides by
intelligent housekeepers and others that, whether
the "invasion " comes off or not, the wisest thing
our people can do is to order their supply of A. No. 1
Lehigh Coal for winter, at the celebrated yard of
W. W. Alter, Ninth street, above Poplar, without
delay, as therwill save-money by doing so.
BROADBENT & CO.'S NEGATIVES..—As it
is found impracticable to retain for alonger period
than one year the large stock of Negarives taken by
Messrs. Broadbent . & Co., they have given. notice
that, after the let of , July next, all Negatives taken
prior to the let of July, 1862, will be liable to be
effaced. Parties having proper authority, who may
desire to . purchase any of these Negatives for pre
_servation, or to procure duplicates from them before
they_are destroyed, should leave their orders at the
Gallery, Nos. 912,- 914, and 916 Chestnut street, at
once.
COOL SUMMER CLOTHING. —Megan. So
mers & Son, No. 625.0hestnut street, under .Tayne's
Hall, have fairly won the reputation of selling the

FINE SPECIMENS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.--
Mr. P. A 0. Knipe, the popular young artist in this
department, No. 906 Arch street, is Oharming the
public in general, and his patrons in particular,
with his Avert pictures; his plain, untouched photo
graphs halving a`degreeVitiiiiiiis and finish about
them fully equalling most of the exnensively
finished pictures in fineness, and far excelling them,
of course, in accuracy. His prices, moreover, are
unusually reasonable.

'4 I4 THE "DR. HATES REFRIGERATOR."—AS
"the warm season, with its wants, is approaching,
we would again call attention to the superior Re•
frigerator manufactured and sold, wholesale and re
tail, by Mr. J. S. Clark, No. 1008 Market street, en
titled " The Dr. Hayes." It is a new article, but
has been sufficiently tested to prove its superiority
over all other z refrigerators in use. He has for some
time past had a very large manufacturing force em
ployed in getting;them , up, in all sizes;and at all
prices, from $7 to $2O ; and as he hai this season de
termined to sell them uniformly at the wholesale
prices, whether one is bought or a dozen, the com
munity need 'hardly be told that this is the place to
buy at. Indeed, Clark's establishment may justly
be considered the refrigerator headquarters in this
city, and we recommend our readers to examine his
immense stock before purchasing. Mr. C. is a prac
tical mechanic, and superintends the manufacture of
these articles personally. The public is certainly
indebted to him for the best refrigerator of the.age.
Mr. C. ha - s also the largest assortment .of Water
Coolers in this city.
ICE CREAM, STRAWBERRIES, ABII FINE
OLD CHEESE.—Rousekeepers wishing a supply of
either of the articles above named will do well to
purchase - from Slocumb , s Stand; In the Eastern
Market, corner of Fifth and Merchant streets.
ALL it THOSE BRANCHES deStined to be
affected, by the new Sewing Machine just produced
by the Grover & Baker Sewing MaChlue Company
should lose no time in examining it, at 730 gheatnit_
street. This mschine makes the wellknoyvnidiuttle
or" lock-stitch," but, from its manifest superiority
in construction and efficiency, cannot fail to, prove
the most radical and thorough innovator wherever
the. most perfect lock• stitch is a cleeideratura. The'
price of the machine is only $45.
'THE LAW OF TITE•FINGER-RENO."—If 8.
gentleman wants a wife, he wears a ring on the left
hand ; if he . is engaged, he wears it on the second
finger; if married, on the third; and . on the folirth
if he never intends to get married. When a lady is
not engaged, she wears a diamond ring on her first
finger; if engaged, on the second ; if married, on the
third ; and on the fourth, if she intends to be a maid.
When a gentleman has "a lady in his eye," and yet
is not engaged to her, he wears, in addition to the
ring, a complete suit of Clothing from Charles Stokes.
