Politics and Hatties*
We see very clearly tliat the spring cam
paign is not to be criticised Irom a military
point of view by the Copperhead journals ;
they have already begun to judge it from a
political stand-point. To expose the neces
sary unfairness of arguments thus vitiated
at the root would be superfluous, but we
would ask these journals if they have not
learned, by the experience of three years, the
folly of a course which has resulted only in
injury to their party ? rfiuce Genera c-
Clellan, a Democrat, was removed front
his command, as Burnside, Fofe, Mc-
Dowell, and others have been removed,
the Copperhead press has persistently de
nounced the Government for tyranny to a
political opponent. Was General McClel
xan less a political opponent when he was
appointed ? Was it not generally known
that he was opposed to the policy of the
Government during the long time he
remained in command ? As certainly as that
he was Temoved simply’ for his repeated
failures, redeemed by the solitary success.of
Antietam, which was less of a success than
the country had a right to expect. The
glory of the Government is its stern refusal
to permit mere political opinions to dictate
the choice of its generals; and it has also
been entirely right to refuse to permit a po
litical general to interfere with the policy of
the war.
When the siege of Charleston was begun,
it was approved by the Opposition ju3t
as was any other military measure—feebly
and insincerely. But when the first failure
at Charleston disappointed the warm hopes
of the people, the Opposition began to con
demn the enterprise as absurd. Charleston
could not be taken; Beauregard was the
greatest of mtdern engineers; why did the
Government waste money and men and
time! However, Gen. Gilmore persevered,
and it has severely taxed the enemy to
withstand his steady approaches. But how
is it now with the Opposition journals ? Be
cause General Gilmoke has announced his
departure, for a few weeks, from Morris
Island, they clamor that the siege has been
raised, and, without exception, condemn
the Government for doing so. But, if the
Government has been wrong for so long a
time, should not they praise it for doing
light at last? Here is another instance of
a set resolution to condemn every supposed
act of the Government, for political ad-
vantage.
Victory has thus far vindicated the Admi
nistration against its assailants. Perpetual
ly tola that the war was a colossal failure,
the country has continually marked the
steady progress of its success. The import
ance of the spring campaign is appreciated
by the pseudo-Demosracy, for the triumph
of our arms will certainly crush every
hope it possesses of electing a pro-slavery
President. It is the most natural thing for
a political party to desire the failure of its
opponents; but it is shameful that not even
thiinterests of the nation have induced the
Democracy to rejoice over victories achieved
under the direction of the Government.
Who questions that a grand defeat of the
"Union army at Chattanooga would be wel
comed by tire Opposition as a fulfilment of
its stale “ I told you so,” and its own politi
cal success? Already the Copperhead
journals are filled with exaggerations ot our
incidental losses, and portentous prophecies
of greater misfortunes to come. It is well
to understand at once that the war is to he
more infamously misrepresented this spring
than ever. It is well to know that, as the
Presidential election draws nearer, Copper
headism is more desperate and unscrupulous.
It is well to know this, so that when defeat
comes to some one of our armies, as very
possibly it will, we may sustain without dis
couragement the storm of indignation which
the Copperhead press will hurl upon the
Administration. The country may quietly
accept as a fixed fact the determination of
the Opposition.to criticise the war with the
sole object of electing its candidate in No
vember. All ourbattles willbe to its lead
ers no more than elements of the selfish par
ty polities to which they have dedicated
tin-ir powers.
The Colored Troops.
The success of the recruiting of colored
troops iu this city has been demonstrated
beyond cavil. The report from the chair
man of the Committee for the Organization
Of Colored Troops shows how rapidly and
cheaply this snccess has been effected, and
how well the committee, supported by the
contributions of a large number of our most
influential merchants and public men, has
redeemed its pledge to the War Depart
ment “to defray extraordinary expenses
attending the recruiting of three colored
regiments for the war.” From the fund
estimated to raise three, the committee have
raised five full regiments in the time between
July and February. The expense of re
cruiting two regiments of Massachusetts
colored troops was over $00,000; but with a
-very little more than half that sum, five
superior regiments have been organized in
Philadelphia. We think the committee are
fully justified in claiming that this recruiting
has been the most economical accomplished
during the war.
It'is not necessary to speak of the worth
and service of colored troops, and their value,
especially with reference to the demands of
our quota. The record we have noted gives
high importance to the appeal which is made
by the committee for more funds to cany
on the work of recruiting. The five regi
ments raised have exhausted the first fond
eubscribed; and of the new capital, sums
amounting to over $3,000 have been placed
in hand. We trust that these will be speedi
ly followed by large and numerous donations
from the business men of Philadelphia. Mr.
Thomas Websteb, the Chairman of the
committee, and its other members, have
earned, by their energy, good management,
and earnest zeal for the interests of Phila
delphia and the country, the entire confi
dence of our citizens.
Gold iu Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia has always seemed too celd a
clime for the hot spirit of adventure. But
we are told that gold is to be found there,
and, in these days of crying for gold when
there is no gold, Nova Scotia, if she answers
expectation, will hold a prominent position
in the public eye. The gold districts of
Nova Scotia have lately been explored.
The product of the mineß in Nova Scotian
vicinities is represented as having been,
within the past fortnight, ever so many
thousands of dollars. Halifax has the
fever in consequence, and gold on the
brain is becoming an epidemic. California,
with her El Dorado promises, quickly
became the home of civilization, and Nova
Scotia, with her yellow mines, will attract
enterprise in a new quarter. A jaundiced
view of the qnestion may, therefore, very
readily be excused. Perhaps Nevada and
Neva Scotia are united in the interests of
their mineral wealth. Emigration may set
out East and West at the same time, the
two extremes meeting in one golden focus.
The reports from every new quarter are, of
course, to be received with the cool subtrac
tion from enthusiasm which the sober se
cond thought invariably makes. But if gold
grows wild in Nova Scotia, it is no reason
why it should not he cultivated, and why
enterprisers Bhould not come home with
their pockets full.
A bequest has been signed by merchants
of Philadelphia and citizens of Pennsyl
vania, to the following effect:

A Lucky Minister.
Hknky Temple, Viscount and Baron
r l empi.e in the peerage of Ireland, Kmglit
Grand Cross of the Bath, Knight of the
Garter, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports,
Constable of Dover, and First Lord of the
Treasury of Great Britain and Ireland, is
asEincdiy a roost fortunate man. In his
eighty- fourth year, he is virtual ruler of the
British Umpire, and difficulties seem to
Wide away from him as easily as water
glides ofl a duck’s back. He lately had to fix
a day for the commencement of the Parlia
mentary Session—in plain words, for the
beginning of the six months’ catechizing,
badgering, and abuse which every English
Premier must annually submit to. His
excellent good temper is of great advantage
to him, under these assaults and insinua
tions, and we dare say that public affairs,
however troublesome, never interfere with
his appetite or digestion. A man who has
been about fifty years in office, subjected
to the inquisitorial criticism of Parlia
ment, must be pretty well seasoned in
time to such unpleasantness. At any rate,
it does not seem to affect Lord Palmer
ston.
Three or four public matters must have
appeared difficult when he came to look at
the circumstances under which the ensuing
session will commence. A certain boast of
the thriving condition of the British Empire
has generally been considered an almost
essential element of the Ministerial docu
ment, only the ghost of a programme, com
monly called “The Queen’s Speech.” This
time there appeared little prospect of such
glorification. Lancashire is still supported
by public charity. Ireland is sending her
population to obtain not only subsistence
but the means of independence in the
United States. France is offended with
England, because her invitation to the Con
gress was declined, with Earl Russell’s
accustomed incivility. Denmark appears on
the eve of being plundered of two of its
provinces, forming a third and the best part
of ail its limited territory. That terrible
Richard Cobden has threatened not only
to expose Ministerial dealings with the
Times newspaper, but also to move heaven
and earth to diminish the public expenditure
from seventy-one millions sterling, its pre
sent amount, to fifty-five millions sterling,
which it stood at thirty years ago. John
Bright, even more energetic, will insist on
Parliamentary Reform being granted this
year—it was promised by Palmerston on
taking office in 1859. Add to this that
England had a fleet in China, nominally
supporting the Emperor, a young gentleman
now in his ninth year, rejoicing in the name
of Ki-tsiang ; bad a rebellion in India, on
the part of the hill-tribes of the Pnujaub
frontier; had another rebellion to contend
with in New Zealand; and had com
menced a war with the empire of
Japan.
About-tlie time that Lord Palmerston
might have been puzzling himself as to what
the Queen’s speech ought to say, under such
eircumctances, in came a quantity of news
from various quarters, which must at once
have put him upon velvet. The British
Ministry had sent Captain Shebard Os
born, a naval officer ot ability and experi
ence, with a fleet of war steamers, which
was to he used in defence of the Emperor of
China against the Rebels who are at war
with him. The Chinese required that Cap
tain Osborn should place himself and these
ships under the command of any Chinese
local official in whose district he might be
Osborn replied, in a very indignant man
ner, that when he left England he was told,
and believed, that he was to be responsible
to the Emperor alone, and that he did not
come to China to be the servant of petty
provincial authorities. In this he was sup
ported by the British Ambassador to China
("Sir F. Bruce, brother of the late Lord
ElginJ, and the end was that Prince Kung,
who is Regent during the childhood of
his nephew, the Emperor, civilly desired
the irate British sailor to take himself and
his ships back to England. It is believed
; that Prince Kung, not ignorant of the
| means by which the English obtained a
footing and then full empire in Hindostan,
feared that the naval expedition was meant
to be the thin edge of the wedge, as to
China, and only too gladly hastened to re
move it by sending the ships back to Eng
j land. This may have foiled a scheme of
I annexation, but the event; as it is, relieves
Palmerston very much.
From India the news is that the rebellion
in the Punjaub is ended. The rebels were
defeated in two serious actions. Their chief,
seat was destroyed. Their forces had sur
rendered to the British, and their leaders
had given hostages to insure the due observ
ance of their new engagements. Here is
difficulty the second swept away.
In New Zealand a change of Ministry had
caused the war and the peace parties to
amalgamate in favor of a vigorous prosecu
tion of the war. The British troops had
signally defeated the warlike Maoris, and
occupied the position they had previously
held with such boldness and success. It is
believed that, for the present, the New Zea
land revolt may be considered as ended, or
nearly so. This is another relief to Palm
ebston.
Lastly, the Japanese have agreed to pay
the required sum demanded as indemnity
for the murder of Mr. Bichabdson, a Bri
tish subject, and the Prince Satzuma pro
mises to seize the murderers and have them
executed in the presence of an English
officer. Coupled with this, however, is an
intimation from the Gorogio, or Japanese
Executive Council, that as the intercourse
of foreigners with Japan produced discon
tent throughout the Empire, the port of
Kanagawa must he closed against them, and
foreign trade restricted to the ports of Na
gasaki and Hakodadi. Our Minister, as our
readers know, joined the Dutch Minister in
refusing to discuss such a proposal, and
Colonel Neale, the British representative,
declared that be would transmit to England
the proposal to abrogate existing treaties,
but that if any attempt were made to carry
it out, he would repel it by force. By the
twenty-second article of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty of 1858-9, up alteration of that inter
national document can be proposed until
1872, and then only with a year’s previous
notice by one of the contracting Powers.
The determination of Japan, however, to
make the required reparation for the murder
of Mr. Richardson will, of course, be
made the subject of congratulation in the
Queen’s speech.
. -Still more fortunate than any of these oc
currences has been the arrival of “ a little
stranger,” to the increase of the Prince of
Wales’ domestic circle. It was expected,
and calculated, that this event would not
occur until March, about a month after the
meeting of Parliament, and the reading to
the assembled Lords and Commons, of the
Speech from the Throne. Happening as it
did, all England falling into a paroxysm of
loyal delight thereat, Palmerston will avail
himself of this feeling to make ’ ‘ that pre
cious baby ” the prominent subject in the
speech, and to permit any quantity of con
gratulatory eloquence about it. Most for
tunate of Premiers ! Everything turns out
just as he desires, and at the most opportune
moment.
The London News of January 19th con
tains a telling article in relation to the dif
ferent aspects of the North and South with
regard to the British Government It re
marks that the Confederate Government
occupies a very different position from that
of the North, and that, by its own confes
sion, it stands convicted; that It has en
tered into a conspiracy to elude the pro
visions of the foreign enlistment act and to
fit out foreign expeditions in the shape of
steam rams at the port of Liverpool; that it
has bribed citizens of Great Britain, tamper
ed with her officers, conspired to violate her
statutes, invaded her shores, cast suspicion
upon her honor, aggravated national an
tipathies, and encouraged disloyal citizens.
The South have, indeed, to learn how to go
to work to secure the sympathy of an im
partial observer. If their hands were
stronger than they are at present, they
might look with some reasonable degree of
expectation for help from abroad. Does not
the Confederate Government see that it
compromises itself by these underhand
means, and precludes the very assistance
for which it would negotiate ?
We are glad to be informed that a fur
ther meeting of the friends of a steamship
line from Philadelphia to Europe will be
held at the office of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company to-day, at which the sub
scriptions to the enterprise, proposed to be
established under the auspices of this com
pany, will be reported, and future action de
termined. It is proposed to place upon the
line, as speedily as possible, chartered steam
ships, but to supply their places at the
earliest date with steamers expressly built
for it, and entirely at its control.
WASHINGTON.
Washington, D. C„ Feb. i.
Accident on the long Bridge.
At twelve o’clock yesterday a train of ears
going into Virginia was precipitated into the
Potomac, the-draw of the Bong Bridge being open
And not perceived by the engineer. The usual
red flag was displayed upon the watoh-box at
the end of the bridge, but the train wai seen ap
proaohing far up Maryland avenue, and Luton
Whitney, of the Invalid Corps, who was on duty
with the guard at the time, ran up the road a dis
tance of over two hundred yards, and waved a flag
Also. The engineer of the train, Mr. William H.
Saules, then reveised his engine, but the grade Is
exceedingly heavy, and the train aUd down the
grade despite the reversal of the engine. The draw,
at this time, bad been pushed open nearly half way,
and the engine, judging from Its position In the
Water, went over its whole length, and pushing the
diaw back, and smashing this end considerably,
went down wheels first, and nothing now is
seen of her but the top of the smoke staok. The
tender of the engine, in failing, apparently broke its
couplings, and doubled over upon the end of the
engine. It was followed by oDe of the ears,' one end
~of whioh is completely mashed, the front wheels
lying upon the tender. The ear immediately behind
this one ran under it, and caught the leg of a soldier,
seriously mashing that limb. The engine was the
Cbauncey Vlbbard, and the train consisted of five
oars, leaded with lumber. There were on the train,
twenty soldiers ot the Sixty-first regiment P. V., -
who were on their way to the front to join their
regiment, and allot whom were more or lessin
jnred. Four of them have b-oken limbs. All the
wounded were conveyed at onae to the Armory
Square Hospital, and we have not been able to ob
tain the names of any except the following; John
Young, wounded in the oherfq and arm sprained;
Thomas Best, arm badly braised; Aabon Keis
lbk, thigh bruised; Rbbslbb, leg badly mashed;
Hugh Gobman, leg broken. The engineer, Sad .
lbb, was never seen after going on the bridge, and
there is no doubt he went down With hie engine.
One soldier, who was taken out of the water
badly wounded, says that while he was under the
water Us hand appeared to touch the head of a man
who was apparently hanging by the neck. This
wss no doubt the engineer, Sadlbb, who had been
running on the road but about two months, but was
heretofore a trusted engineer on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
Isaac Cobbbtt, the fireman, saved himteif by
jumping lrom the tender just at it was passing upon
the bridge. Captain D. H. Cuylbb, of the Invalid
Corps, who has eommand at the bridge, Is in no
wise responsible for the accident, as the universal
testimony of the parties who Were present is that
he took all usual precautions.! Men are now clear
ing away, and efforts are also ijeing made to recover
the body of the engineer. ;
The accident will probably prevent the use of the
bridge for a day, as considerable injury is done to
the draw. j

Washington, Feb. 6 —Private information, di
reot from Chattanooga, la to the effect that several
days ago, though there wae a force at Dalton, the
main body of the rebel army was at Rome, Georgia,
under Johnston. The latter faot is accounted for
on the ground either that the enemy were foroed to
go to Rome for convenience to their supplies, or to
prevent desertions, between eight thousand and
nine thousand men having oome into our lines since;
the battle of Missionary Ridge.
There is no such alarm at Chattanooga about the
safety of our troops in the neighborhood of Knox

published accounts to that effect are characterized
as exaggerations.

ville was uninterrupted.

The following are the*latest despatches:
London, Jan. 21. —Letter* from Frankfort state
that the opinion i* prevalent that Austria and
Prussia must come to some definite understanding
with England.
Copenhagen, Jan. 20.— The Kigsrad ha* com

THE VERY LATEST BY THE EDINBURGH.
THE AUSTRIAN ATTITUDE— OPINIONS OF THE EUROPEAN
PRESS.
Count Rechberg replies to the insinuation of Bavaria
that Austria rhonld consent to a majority of votes suidinx
her course in the Diet:
•• The Federal lawe do not grant any member aright
of veto, and the Emperor of Austria has declared that he
would not ask such a right even after Federal reform,
hut that he would recognize the legal decisions of a ma
jority, for war or forpeaee.
* * The Emperor has not altered in tills determination.
But this presupposes a Confederation constituted as in
the paßt, or as the reform propositions would have con
stituted it; it can have no reference to a Confederation
adopting decisions out of pare political convenience,
without havlngregard to the law and the constitution. ”
Counts echbeig’e despatch touches again further npon
the act of reform and the Frankfort deliberations* to
point out what great care had been taken not to en
croach upon the independence of the Federal States. He
admits that the Confederation Is notlbonnd by the treaty
Of London* &nd declares that no one wishes to inane it
recognize that treaty, or to adhere to it. ' * The dearness
of the right of the filet to adopt a decision, without any
reference to this treaty, is such that it is superfluous to
dwell upon it Bat it does not follow therefrom that
the Diet. urged on by over-excited publis opinion, has a
right to allow itself to be thrust beyond the limits of its
eompetence.” . _ . _ .
Ihe Presse of to-day-publishes a leader upon the
course taken by Austria and Prussia, from which the
following are extracts: . '
»* One must believe that graver reasons than
jealousy at the popularity of the minor States have
determined the Cabinets of Vienna ani Berlin to
adopt such a measure. It is said, indeed, that if
the policy of the minor States were allowed to take
Its course, it would lead directly to a conflict with
Prance, who, as soon as the third-class States took
upon themselves to art as great Powers, and to
conquer Schleswig for the Duke of Augustenbnrg.
would Immediately ask compensation on the Rhine,
and would take it. too, without delay.
1 'lt Is said, (uTther, that if left to themselves the minor
States would not be strong enough to hold the line of the
Khlne. The loss of that line would involve the re
formation of the Bhelnhnnd, or would engage Austria
and Prussia In a war with France. A BhenishfConrede-
T&tton or *B European war: such would be the alterna
tive brought about by the policy of the minor ht&tes, and
it Is to obviate this that the great German Powers take in
hand the regulation of the Schleswig-Holstein question.
It seems certain that the means chosen by Austria and
Truesla to prevent the outbreak of an European war or
the restoration of Bhenish Confederation do net corres
pond to the end which they propose. Jffspoleon lll.la
ready for all eventualities. He will turn the occupation
of 6cblcBWig by the Austro Prussians to account in the
Fame way &b If the Federal troopß had crossed the Eider.
We do not believe, however, that the Emperor of the
French dreams at present of making requisitions on the
Bhine.
“An Austro Prussian, army of 120,0C0 men. Which
should occupy Schleswig la a few days from now, is of
itself so imposing a spectacle that be Is tempted to be
lieve tbe little kingdom of Denmark will strike its flag
without firing a shot; but who knows whether the Klag
<f Denmark is still at liberty to yield without running
the risk of being destroyed at Copenhagen; and It he
casta himself headlong Into an inevitable straggle, who
known from what quarter a great Power may come to
h's aid?
"The situation, at tbe same time, is growing com
plicated, inaemuch as the minor States give signs of de
eir.sg to oppose the action of the two great German
Powers. Impotent as they are to obstruct it of them
selves, who can say to what length they may bs carried
l y a policy supported by the sympathies of all the popu
la-tioi s of Germany?
“ There is not a State upon which the present position of
affairs does not weigh as a ghsatly nightmare ; but upon
% one Is its influence more deadening than upon Austria;
forbore a regeneration is suspended, which might be
happily accomplished by carefnlly husbanding all the
pi.wers of the State. We have always declared that the
ta k of Austria is. above all else, to cary out her labor of
htlf-transforxnation into a constitutional State; to re
establish order in her finances; to consolidate theinternal
peace oftbe Empire; and that, until the entire accomplish
ment of this tefik, she ouiht to exercise a self denial
pushed to the utmost possible limits, in orderto maintain
peace and to recover herself. But yet we admit that
i uere is a limit beyond which It would be impossible for
Amtria to maintain peace, even in the above-mentioned
conjuncture. We should he a degenerate race if we did
not avow that what baa recently happened to Germany
upon the banks of the Eider constrain* ua to make war.

Fkankfoht, Jan. 20 .—1* Europe of to-day publishes
an article,of which the following Is a summary: The
'writer commences by calling attention to the negative
results of Szrslish policy in the Dano-German conflict.
The conference, as imagined by Earl KusneU. has not
OOXQC to fruition, and the project of mediation bas failed.
It was easy for If. Uronyn dell'Huys to comply with
the wishes of England, and to Inquire upon two occa
sions the imentionß of the German Governments. He
learned what all ths world knows, viz: that Germany
would not consent to send a representative to a confe
rence, which should disease her dispute with Denmark,
and would still lees accept the mediation or the Powers.
After recapitulating the various reasons which render
Germany immutable In her resolution, L'Europe at
tempts to show that it would he neither honest, digni
fied. nor useful to he mixed up with the *■ premature
and ephemeral combinations" of Earl RassaU. After
there were proposed, the anewer of tha French Govern
ment was dictated by events. ' Upon the question
whetberFranceconldreslgn hereelf to remain a looker
on. E'Evrope. without pronouncing itself too strongly
in favor of a general congress, cites the words of a Ger
man Minister—viz: "To generalize questions is an ex
cellent method for their solution, and however com
plicated may be the problems which irritate the European
continent, they can be solved more easily Chau people
imagine if a large-minded and liberal mode of viewing
them vrevallß at the debates of the conference "
I, Europe finally points cut that the great peril of the
present time is European war at short notice; a war in
chaos, and wlthont a programme on the part of those
who p unge Into It. Sensible and cong-lsnttous men are
unanimous on this point, howeter widely divided by
their political opinions. As a proof, L’Eurape publishes
the tenor of a cnriouß and confidential circular de
spatched by Herr Yon Bozsnb.eh, anticipating the re
alization of the Emperor rtapoleon’s project of assent
bllng a European congress or conference upon general

manded delay In order to assemble the Bigsrad, and,
with its concurrence, to withdraw the November con
stitution. and subsequently tofnlfll the engagements en

this delay should be granted, which Is probable, the

Public Entertainments.
The Davenport Bots Again,—’'Salon may
relish coffee pie.”—Perhaps the Immortality or the
soul was never more strikingly eluoidated than it
was on Saturday evening, at Ooneert Hall. Several
hundred immortal souls were present; packages of
people, who were not born to die, had invested fifty
eents at the ticket-office, feeling tolerably certain
of getting the worth of their money, and totally
oblivious of the faet that Satan may relish ooffee
pte. The entertainment or the Davenport Boys Is
advertised as the greatest phenomenon ever wit
nessed since the days of the Apostles, ir ener
gy is evidence, they oertainly “prove their doc
trine orthodox by apostolic blows and knocks,”
They had a good time of it on Saturday night,
and battered away in tip-top atyle. Several
clergymen were among the audienoe, attracted,
doubtless, by the direct apostolic descent of the
institution, and the old brass horn shot forth
irom the lozenge hole like a yellow morning-glory.
Mr. Fay did not give a private meeting (one dollar
per head) that we are aware of; although the one
whioh he backed out of on Wednesday night was
so clever and amusing that Rodman Drake himself,
bad he been present, could have seen no joke in
any allusion to “The Culprit Fay.” The clever
jOkes at Concert Hall were seriously frustrated on
Saturday night. The interesting lecturer, in the
course of his ornate address, remarked that “there
is things spirits can’t do,” and that under eertata
circumstances he “wouldn’t have that committee
up, no how.” He had evidently never been brought
to a knowledge of the truth that Satan may relish
coffee pie. The audience were just at bad, They
forgot that, some year* ago, outside the memory of
young fellows just of age, a certain Professor Gou
raud lectured on mnemonics, at the old Chinese
Museum, and that the watchword or this gentleman
was, “ Satan may relish coffee pie!” This was the
key to hi* calendar.. See, tee,nee, mee, ree, lee, she,*
fee, pee, or something very much like this rigmarole,
were the rules of his mnemonisal arithmetic. M,
Gouraud was a very clever fellow, wore exquisite
white kids, and lectured to admiration. What be
came of him, the reader will learn by consulting
newspaper files. One thing is certain, that the
ruling principle of bis life was, “ Satan may relish
coffee pie,” The bearing of ail this upon the “Da
venport Boys ” is, that, in the opinion or the publlo,
their profession and that of M. Gouraud are placed
on one level, M> Gouraud made a magnificent in
come, He promised to give memory for money, but
no one ever had any memoryof thefulfilmentof that
promise. The public is extremely critical, especially
when it pays for that privilege.
A very sweet scene took place at Concert HaU on
Saturday evening. The tendenoy of the whole
entertainment, of course, was to establish, beyond a
doubt, the immortality of the soul. No one in his
sober senses could vf&v two good-looking young
men tied up in a wooden box with three doors to it,
(and come out of it again, mind you, untied,) with
out being convinced of the immortality or the soul.
No man outßide a lunatic asylum could behold a
born budding forth from a hole at the top of a door
without being pierced with arrows of conviction eon
cerningthe immortality of the soul. No one couldlis
ten to the graceful wit and scorching sarcasm which
usurped a great part of the entertainment promised,
without having his doubts at once and forever
cleared away concerning the immortality of the
soul. No one who has ever heard Gottschalk could
listen to a guitar and tamborine, with , a bell
thrown in occasionally, without bowing down to
the great dootrine o( all Nature, the immortality of
the soul, Plato may have been very well in one
way, and Socrates in another; but if any miserable
skeptic of the nineteenth century wishes to ba tied
down to the doctrine of the immortality of the soul,
he should see the Davenport “ Boys ” tied up.
Several ladies nearly fainted on Saturday eve
ning, such startling developments were brought to
light by tbe committee selected by the audience.
To-night, however, there will not be room for ladies
to faint, as the Assembly Buildings are engaged,
and a police force will probably be in attendance, to
prevent any suoh demonstrations, should they even
be attempted. The tricks of the Davenport Boys,
such as they are, are as much worth paying to see
as any cleverly-executed tricks are. We would sug
gest to the management the propriety of treating
the audienoe, to whioh it is indebted for patronage,
with one iota of the courtesy with whioh the audi
ence is tolerant enough to treat it. The apostolic
phenomena should learn better manners, or quit the
good society of Phils delphla instantaneously.
One of tbe Davenport Boys refused to let his hands
he identified in the manner prescribed by Professor
Wilson, of the Central High School, and the other
waxed wroth when the validity of the knot at his
wrists was'questioned, and offered bets enough to
treat all round, audience included. But it must be
acknowledged that one or the results of the exhibi
tion was a re-establishment, beyond a doubt, of the
principle that Satan may relish coffee pie, to say
nothing of the correlative ratiocination concerning
the immortality of the soul. The very lozenge hole
was enough for that, and the brass horn clenched
the argument.
The Oratorio of thb Cbbation.— We are glad
to he able to announce that the Handel and Haydn
Society, whose magnificent rendering of the Ora
torio of the Messiah, on Friday evening last, was
listened to by an appreciative audience, intend per
forming Haydn’s Oratorio of the Creation in the
Academy of Music on Saturday evening' next, 13th
inat. This announcement will stir the musical world
of Philadelphia. The society, with a chorus of two
hundred voices, will be sustained by the entire Ger
mania Orchestra. In order to meet the demand for
tickets, the choice of the reserved seats will be sold
on Tuesday, commencing at 9 A. M., at one dollar
eaoh. On Wednesday morning the sale of reserved
seats at fifty cents will begin. It would be useless
to attempt praise of the genius of Haydn or of the
sooiety in whose hands the performance of this his
greatest work is; the mere statement on our part
will effect more than anything else could possibly
do. The proceeds are for the benefit of the United
States Christian Commission, as on Friday evening
laat.
The German Opeba.— The “Merry Wives of
Windsor’’, to-night will reintroduce Madame
Johannaen In a very charming rdU., which she sings
very delightfully, and acts with fine spirit. Madame
Frederiei will also appear, and will help to make
the cast superior to that of the flrat performances.
Hablemann, the best Gorman tenor excepting sue
gel, we have bad, will be the new lover, and the per
sonal eventeitheevening the appearance of Her
manns, thenew basso, as Fahlaff. Mr. Ansohutz an
nounces a season entirely composed of new operas.
“Tannhauser,” “Indra,” “ Jettohds,” havenever
been sung in this city, and “La Dame Blanche,”
“Faust,” and “The Merry Wives,” are yet novelties
to our musical public.
Chestnut btbbbt Theater.— The “ Tickct-of-
Leave Man” will be repeated to-night. We have
already expressed our opinion that Its produc
tion at Mr. Grover’s theatre is more com
pletely satisfactory than any we have seen. The
east is very good, and not only are the leading cha
racters finely played by Misa Susan Denin and Mr.
Harry Pearson, bnt the excellence of the perform
ance ineludea the minor parts, generally negleoted,
but alwaya essential. “ The Ticket-of-Leave.Man”
at the Chestnut has the charm of novelty,' so tho
roughly is it brought out, and deserves Its great suc
cess. ,
Walnut Stbbbt Thbatbb.— Miss Lucille West
ern repeat* Lady Isabel and Madam Vine for the
next two or three uighti. This week is announced
as positively the last of her engagement, and we are
happy to hear witness to her deserved success,
New Akoh-stbbbt Theatre. —Miss Thompsoa

would win them in new. She continues this week...
SOIREE Militates —Myers’ Aaademio Cadets, of
West Chester, have tendered to Major G. Eoken
dorff, their military ltnsruotor, a complimentary
soirde militaire. It will take place to-morrow eve
ning, at the Aoademy of Musio, and will be worthy
of the liberal attendance with which it will be
graced.
Assembly Buildings.—A vocal and instrumen
tal concert will be given at the Assembly Buildings,
this evening, by Mrs. Jno. H. Janke. This enter
tainment is annual, and has.been well attended In
times past.
A lecture, entitled “Forty Dayain Jerusalem,”
will be delivered in the Commissioners’ Hall, West
Philadelphia, by Rev. William. White Williams,
who speaks with the authority of a traveller. Mr.
Williams has obtained distinction as a lecturerupon
Biblical subjects, and it known to Philadelphia au
diences as an entertaining and instructive speaker.
This leoture will be given for the benefit of the «mi

It will be repeated on, Tuesday, at the Seventh Pres

Exemption oi Friends from Military-
Service.
Press, Feb.6,ateUwr»m
. IR * x . ,1.4.. that “the Committee on
probably agree
Military a™" „ Tt lg , matter of aurpriie,
wheTtoking into cooperation the important ne,
tore of thl. modification in the* l * Xhtert
it should be permitted to pass without tte tttgnmst
manifestation of dissent on the part olThePress.
And yet no modification which may be propose
possibly be more Improper or unjust to a oause in
volving the personal rights of the present and future
generations than the acknowledgment on the part of
Congress that the members of any aeot may be
exempted from the discharge of a duty incumbent
upon every oitizen of the Republic. That the rights of
conscience should be respected Is beyoDd a question
of doubt; but in a period like the present every
true lover of bis country should have conscientious
convictions in favor of putting down this accursed re
hellion, and along with it its hell-bom parent, human
slavery, so strong and overpowering in their nature that ,
me the rod of Aaron, which swallowed up the rods
of the magicians of Egypt- they should swallow up
all other convictions of conscience. When such
conditions of mind do not exist, the. parties,
whether willing or not, should be expeoted and by
lsw compelled to take the chances with their fellow
citizens of being drafted for the field of battle, and
then serve, or contribute the means wherewith sub
stitutes may be procured. To admit that any person
or sect may be exempt, on account of conscientious
scruples, from serving in a uch a holy cause, or render
ing an equivalent, will be a tacit acknowledgment
tkat the prosecution of the war, on our part, Is un
just, and accompanied by an inexcusable expendi
ture of blood; and tbat, from first to last, we should
bavs submitted, in the most patient and submissive
manner, to the insolent rule of the rebels. That
such views are not endorsed by a large number of
Friends in made manifest by the gallant and herolo
Quakers who, either in the ranks or as leaders, are
baring their breasts to the deadly bullet of the
Southern foe. After a struggle, in which the deep
est rooted prejudices have been slowly and gradu
ally overcome by the absolute neoßiaities of tbe
esse, the black man has just been permitted to serve
his country.
At such a time, if ever, is it fitting or proper that the
white man should be exempted, let his eonvictions of
conscience be what they laayl The Friends, or
Quakers, it is true, from the organization
of their society have always bome their tes
timony (as they express it) against war. They
have, however, with equal oonstanoy and per
tinacity borne their testimony against human
slavery. George Fox, tbe founder orthe sect, when
traveling through this country in the Colonial days,
pieaehed with great force -against the sin of that in
stitution. And it is due to the constant agitation of
the subject by that seot, more than any other deno
mination or organization, that the great evils of that
institution have been made clearly manifest to the
minds of men, and the present death-struggle be
tween liberty and slavery (fer it Is In truth nothing
less) has in this way been preoipitated. Having en
joyed the honor of causing the scales to'fall from the
eyes of those who have been slow in recognizing
these monstrous evilc of the institution, they
should not be denied the honor of assisting in
its overthrew. The writer of this hss the
most profound respect for the Society of
Friends; in his veins courses tbejblood of honored
Quaker ancestry; his feet, when a child, guided an
aged and respeeted grandparent to the meeting
house, and there he has passed many pleasant and
profitable hours in silent reflection, or listening to
the mild, persuasive eloquence of preaahera bearing
their testimony against war and against human
slavery; educated at a . Quaker ashool in the
days of boyhood, and intimately associated
with the members of this sect in social
and bualness relations-in manhood, he can olalm
to iully appreciate and understand their views,
but must bear his testimony against their right to
be exempted from doing their part in restoring har
mony and order to our onoe happy country. When
the enrolment act waa first passed, there were too
many exemptions, and one oi them in particular,
by which the, writer was exempted, is, In every
sense of the word, open to deoided objßotion, He
refers to the clause by which the fact of having
an aged parent dependent upon him for sup
port is a sufficient reason for exemption.
To exempt one under sueh circumstances,
and yet at the same time to hold the father of a
large family of small children, who look to the labor
of hia hands for their daily food, at liable to military
duty, is, beyond a question or doubt, unjust. There
should be no disqualification for service recognized
other than age and disease, and no shades of com
plexion or conscience should, under any circum
stances, be exempted. CITIZEN.

The Advantage op Buvino “ The Florence.”
—The public need hardly be informed of the fact
that the “ Florence ” Sewing Machine, aold at 630
Cheatnut street, poaaeaaea advantages over all others
in use in several important particulars, whlsh,
by examining them, will be readily appreciated.
The aplendid list of references published in another
column of our paper to-day atteata the high esteem
in which these Instruments are held by a large num
ber of our most prominent citizens. One of the con
ditions on which' theae machines are aold la worthy
of special notioe, i. e., that they are warranted not
only to work splendidly, but to give the buyer entire
satisfaction, or the money will be refunded for them after
three months' trial.
A Splendid Stock op Dey Goods,— Messrs.
Edwin Hall & Go., No. 26 South Seoond street, have
on hand, as will be seen by their advertisment in
another column, a large and superior stock of desira
ble dry goods, which is worthy of the attention of the
ladies. Among them will be found heavy blaok and
fancy colored corded silks, black and fanoy moire
antiques, a great variety of plain and fancy silks,
&0., &o. Messrs. Hall & Co. secured a large
portion of their present stock of goods before recent
heavy advances were made in prioea, and they are
consequently able to sell at retail, at the present cost
of importation. This firm enjoy every advantage
in the procuring of the best goods at the lowest
prices, and they enable their customers to share
these advantages by selling all goods at a small pro
fit, without regard to the market.
