WEDNESDAY, MARCH 0, 1864. A*p We can take no notice of anonymous commu nications. We do not return rejected manuscripts. •B®~ Voluntary correipondeuce ic solicited from all parte of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will be paid for. The Preliminary De-hate. Agitation is the enemy of conservatism. It is indispensable to reform and progress. The present agitation of the Presidential question will do little harm, though it is said to be premature, and is to some extent bitter We are not surprised nor alarmed that the discussion of the relative fitness of the prominent men named as loyal candidates / jj 8S suddenly absorbed the nation, and even eclipsed for a time the permanent interest in the success o' the war and the party. For this is the necessary consequence of pro found appreciation of the importance of the election in November, and men who are tamest are sure to difler, though their difference may not be discord. We anticipa ted the presentation of several names to the Union Convention in June, but in that body we believe the difference will end. There it must end. Argue T.OW that Mr. Ciiask is of all men the best man for our candidate ; insist upon General Fremont’s superiority; declare General Butler to be the repre sentative American; do this note, but, when the Convention of the people has decided, beware of agitation, which will cease to ha just independence, and must he branded as factions ambition. The choice of the people must finally be upon principle the choice of " every loyal man, whatever may be the sincerity and purity ol his personal prefer ence. Armies seem secondary now, in the ex citement ot politics. The people are carried away by this warm debate. Every loyal newspaper is for Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Ciia«h, or General Butler. Almost every Legis lature, State Convention, or Union Club,, has published its Presidential preference. And in this there is but one element ot danger. Certain political bodies —very tew, we are glad to set; —have declared their reso lution to sustain certain candidates, even in defiance of the decision of the Convention. . This is What we are told will he the suicidal course of the cerman radicals, and this is the only evil which can reasonably be ex pected to result from the discussion into which the nation is so suddenly precipitated. The vnion of the Union party in the cam paign which will formally begin in June is as important as the vnion erf the people in the future of the country. For upon the success of the Union party depend the prosperity and peace of the country for generations to come. TVe, therefore, insist upon the folly, the wickedness, of those who in this preli minary debate go so far as to recklessly de clare that they will not sustain the choice of the people, unless it agrees with their own choice, and who threaten to divide a party which has for three years been united upon principles, upon an issue which is compara tively personal. General Meade and His Accusers. The public 5b familiar with the charges which have recently hern made against General Meade by Generals Sickle* and Doubleday, and which have been widely circulated in the newspapers. The en tire North, however, is the well-wisher of this gal. lent officer. The New York Tim’s, in an excellent article upon this subject, makes the following judi cious remarks: “ We are not advocates of Gen. Meade, or .any orhergeneral V. e acknowledge no teat of military ability except the result of campaigns. Bat we pro test strongly against having this officer called to an swer to Gens. Sickles ahd Doubleday, or anybody else who serves under him, for any order he gave at Gettysburg, or anywhere else. It it universally ac knowledged that there is nothing more fatal to the usefulness of an army than the prevalence amoazßt subordinates or the habit of criticising the nisos of their chief. It has already worked terrible mischief in this Army of the Potomae,and has had much to do with Its various failures. If Gen. Meade had wanted to retreat fifty miles from Gettysburg, in stead of seventeen, as is alleged, and had given an order for that purpose, it was not the business of either General tickles or General Doubleday to correct or to criticise it. Their business was simply and solely to obey it. He did not re treat; the battle of Gettysburg was fought and won, and he has, since then, by his con duct in Virginia, given decided proofs of a bieh order of talent. We know that he is the only general who has commanded on the Potomac, so far. whom Gen Dec has not ou t. maemuvered. It is in the highest degree absurd to arraign him for having ordered a retreat, after the first day’s fighting at Gettysburg, unless somebody is able tossy what would have hap pened if he had retreated. We submit that we have cad enough of this folly.- Pope’s campaign was con vertedinto horrible butchery because Fitz John Por. ter took it into Mb head that he was hound to correct Pope’s strategy. Burnside’s campaign was marred ny his officers undertaking to carry their orders to vl asbington and a caucus over them before obeying them; and we greatly fear we shall see Meade sac-i -flced during the coming campaign to the baneful and mischievous delation that generals of division are Gongrcssional inspectors of strategy, charged with the task of detecting and exposing the blunders and shortcomings oi their commanding officer.’’ WASHINGTON Wabhinoton, Match 8 1864. The Reception of Grant In the Capital. In the City Councils, last night, resolutions were unanimously passed tendering to General Gbant a cordial welcome, and the hospitalities and freedom of the city. The revolutions are to be suitably en grossed, and presented to the General on his arrival by a committee composed of the Mayor and tsvo members of each branch of Oounoils, Arrival ot Lieut. Gen. Grant in Washing- ton—An Impromptu Ovation. Lieutenant General TT. S. Grant, accompanied by his ion, and General Kawlings, and Colonel Comstock, of Ills Btaffj arrived here this evening. 1711116 quietly taking Me dinner at hi* hotel, a gentleman rote, and announced to the four or five hundred guests who were at the tables, that they had among them the hero of Vicksburg, whereupon the dicers all ro*e to their feet, and enthusiastically welcomed the hero with shouts and waving of hand kerchiefs. About a quarter to ten o'clock to-night Lieut. General Grant, accompanied by several military friends, visited the White House, the President at the time holding his public reoeption. He came in unannounced, and was evidently embarrassed. The President being made aware of his presence, ap proached and shook him by the hand. The meeting was mutually cordial. The Secretary of State ac companied the General to the Past Hoorn, and on entering it the entire crowded assembly gave b*m repeated cheers, and there was a general rush to shake him by the hand. No reception could have been more cordial. The Secretary of War was sent for, and, with other prominent officials, soon afte r reached the White House. Arrrangemente were made to serenade General GRANT, but he had not returned to his hotel at half, past twelve o’clock, end the compliment was poat» ported. The Decimal System of Weights and Measures. The supplemental report of Samuki. b. Bosqi.es, Commissioner of the United States to the Interna tional Statistical Congress, at Berlin, communicated to Congress by tho Secretary of War, includes the result of the special commission representing foreign nations recommending the French metric or decimal system of weights and measures, and showing them tobe already used by a population of one hundred and thirty-nine millions. The opinion was reached that the gold discoveries In the United States, in connection with the facilities offered by the Pacitio BaUtoad, wilbbccaeion fluctuations in the oompsra- Hve values of gold and silver,. A recommendation la made that existing units of money be very few, such as the pound sterling, dollar, florin, and franc the dollar being 6 francs, and the florin 2j£ francs. The next meeting of the Congress is expected to be held in St, Petersburg. Senate Confirmations. The Senate to-day confirmed the following deputy pcaimfistei*: SaylesJ.

The bill introduced by Representative Jum an to day, from the Committee on Public Lands, secures to persons in the military or naval service of the United States homesteads on confiscated or for feited estates in insurrectionary districts. All lands and other property not Included within the limits of any city, town, or village,‘against which proceeding! In rent shall be Instituted, under the provisions of the act to suppress insurrection, to punish treason and rebellion, and to seize and confiscate the proper ty of rebels, approved July, 1862, end the acts amendatory thereof, shall, upon the rendering of final decrees of condemnation, be certified, over the seal of the coutt so condemning, to the Secretary of the Interior, and thereafter the lands shall be re garded and treated in all respeots as part of the publio lands of the United States, subject to the re strictions and regulstions hereinafter mentioned. AM persons who have served, or may serve, honora bly in the army or navy for two years, during the present rebellion, and all persons who have been, or shall be discharged therefrom by reason of wounds received or disease contracted therein, shall be en titled to enter SO acres, or a less quantity of the un appropriated lands, in conformity to the provisions Of the homestead act of ISGI. The bill now intro duced is an extension Of the homestead policy or 1810, which was advocated at that time by Mr. Ju lian and Johnson alone. The Q.uai-teimaster’9 Department. In the Senate to day, Mr. Wilson introduced a hill to provide for the better organization of the Quartermaster’s Department, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, This hill organizes divisions, charged with duties as follows: Ist, Purchase and dispensation of horses for the service, 2d, Furohste and issue or clothing, knapsacks, camp and garrison equipage and accoutrements. 3d, Charter of vessels for transportation. 41b, Western transportation and telegraphs. 6th, Purchase of forage, erection oi hospitals, bar racks, store-houses, stables, and bridges. 6th, Purchase of wagons, ambulances and forges. 7th, Inspection and reports. stb, Correspondence, returns, and records. Except in case of urgency, or in purchases at the seat of war, Advertising for proposals is required. It provides, also, for the more economical distribu tion of supplies, and for the punishment of frauds or bribery in such cases. The Confiscation of Rebel Property. In the report of the sen ate proceedings, yesterday, the petition Of Eli Tkaykr, of Connecticut, pre sented by BTr. Foot, of Vermont, wag wrongly stated. It asks Congress to confiscate utterly and without reserve the lands of rebels, and to give of the same, without other formality than occupation, one hundred and sixty acres to each private in the naval service and to each man in the rank and file of the TtoioriL army, and. of the rebel army who will takeihe prescribed oath of allegiance to the United States, and that the lands thereafter remaining be c pen to settlement under the homestead law, The JMeatle 'Untrue. The statement that General Sickles had preferred chargee against General Meade to the Committee on the Conduct of the War is erroneous. It appeals that the committee, white examining into matters connected with the battle of Gettysburg, were ne cessarily compelled to criticise the reflections of Generals Hallsck and Meade on the conduct of General Sickles, and accordingly he and Generals PjLEASOXTpx, Bibnkt, Dottrledav, and Ho wit were summoned to testify. This, of course, rendered it necessary to examine General Meade, who subse quently appeared before the committee. General Buell- The finding of the Court of Inquiry in the case of General Buell will soon be published. The court does not attach any blame to General Buell. A Western Naval Station, It appears from a report of the late Admiral Foote, just made public, that after a careful exaini nation of several sites in the West, he recommended Carondolet for a naval cdp6t, with an at Cairo. The subject is now before Congress. The Death of Col* Dahlgren Confirmed. The .Richmond Se?itind of Saturday morning last announces that Colonel Pahishbk was killed in a skirmish at King and Queen Court House, on the Mattapony river, on Friday last. Bate last night General Butler telegraphed that he had received information confirming tbe announcement in the Sentinel that Dahlgkek was killed at King and Queen Court House, and Gen. Kilpatrick tele- graphed that the last positive information he had received of Dahlgrek’s whereabouts was that he was seen on Thursday. The skirmish took place on the day after, in which the Colonel was killed. The President becoming fully satisfied that there was no longer any good reason to doubt the report Of young Dahwsbn’s de&th, deemed it his duty this morning to communicate the fact to Admiral Dahlgrbn, which he at once did. The latter has left for Fortress Monroe, to take such other steps ia the matter as may be deemed proper under the circumstances. Arrest of a Contractor. Mr. Joseph Savage, hardware dealer in this city, has been arrested, by order of the Government, and his store closed. He has had a number of con tracts with the Government. Methodist Episcopal Conference. The Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Epis copal Church, in cession here to day, adopted a re port, by a vote or 48 against 10, resolving i That we owe and pledge exclusive allegiance to the Govern, ment of the United States in war and in peace, and to its constitutional administration in every depart ment thereof, and that we, therefore, affectionately exhort our people who, by position, kindred, or inte rest may have been tempted to sympathise with those who seek the overthrow or this Government, not to esteem loyalty thereto as optional, a matter of taste, sympathy, or preference, but one of Divine Injunction, and as involving the religious duty of prayer and effort for the restoration of our national unity, peace, and prosperity, or, in the language of the disciples, “to use all laudable means to enjoin obedience to the powers that be,’* That we will not receive into the Conference, or elect to ministerial orders, either from the local or itinerant, any man of known disloyalty. That in view of the great change, in the provi dence of God, which 1b taking place in the public mind, in the direction of emancipation, in the state of Maryland and elsewhere, we believe the time is not far distant when Conference will no longer be embarrassed in maintaining the well-known prin ciples of the Methodist Episcopal Church on this subject.

A letter to the New Souih cays: ■< Last week, we communicated with the enemy on two different OO cisiocs by flag-of-truce. The chief object was to gain permission for our wounded that fell into the hsnds of the enemy to be taken into oar lines. On each occasion the enemy refused to grant the request. It ie believed he refused on the ground that our Wounded would be able to impart valuable informs, tion. The main body of the rebels are encamped between Ten-mile Run and Baldwin. A considera ble force is at Ten-mile Hun. General Finnegan has his headquarters in a dwelling-house near the station, and it was said he commanded the rebel forces, although we had information three days ago that Beauregard was somewhere in the vicinity. Besides those named, we heard of three other gene, rais, including Gardner and Walker.

The fear of the suspension of Government bounties has bad a bad effect on recruiting. The people have gone to work once more, and recruiting again is beginning to be the order of the day. Many counties are already full, and many others have but a few men to raise, and the extension of the boun ties will practically relieve this State'rrom the ef fects of a draft. Many' of the veteran regiments are now pasting through Uliß place, on their way to the front, with ranks swelled by hundreds of new recruits. Cavalry ai d artillery appear to be the rage just now. New recruits appear to prerer them to infantry. The re turning cavalry regiments are generally up to the mtximum. One of them numbers sixteen hundred. It is the famous lib, which left here several days since. It is commanded by the brave and gallant 00l Sipes. This is one of the best cavalry regiments in the seta-ice. It has been in active duty, in Kentucky and Tennessee, since tbe beginning o, war. fought bravely and lost heavily at Stone’s river and Chickamauga. It was a portion of this regiment that esenneu his would-be Excellency, c. X>, Valiandigham, into the rebel lines. There is a class of men connected with this re cruiting business that are not worthy of wearing the human form. They should have lived In those daik aget when tt was considered proper to deal la the souls and bodies of men, and when it was not considered criminal to traffic in the liberties of a free people. We have a class of men all over the coun try who would sell their country for a small mess of pottage, who would net scruple to crucify their Sv viour for thirty pieces of silver—men who pretend to be very loyal, very patriotic, very much embit tered toward ihe rebels, and very anxious to ail up tbe skeleton regiments now in the field. I refer to the horde of voluxtekk brokers, who are coining money by a practice which would cause a pirate Upon the high seas to Much, A wild Arab from the wilds of Africa would not beguiity of such nefarious business. They do not rob their friends—they do not steal from their own oountrymen, while pro fessing the warmest friendship toward them. These beautiful specimens of modem land-sharks rob men who are leaving home, friends, and all the comforts of life for the purpose of preserving our national existence; with honeyed words upon their lips they rob them of bounties offered by a generous people to the men who fight our country’s battles. You find them upon every street-comer, Every new recruit that arrives is besieged by them. Bis inexperience is tsken advantage of, and) before he is aware of it, he is enlisted for a lo cality which pays him, say $soo; ; he gets a couple of hundred, and Mr. Volunteer-Broker gets the other. These men frequently make from fifty to one hun dred dollars on a single recruit—sometimes even more, These men should meet tho punishment their dastardly conduct deserves. They are as keenly scented as a prairie wolf, and as unrelenting as a horseleech. Men who follow this for a busi ness deserve the contempt of every honest man. They are not half as honorable as a rebel in open rebellion ; while professing loyalty they are coining gold Out Of the innocent and inexperienced soldier. The general bounty bill has been made tbe special order for to-morrow evening. Its consideration has already taken up several sessions. The House finds much difficulty in framing this bill. Dlfiterent coun ties appear to have different interests. There ap pears to be an honest desire among the members to so mould the bill as to best serve the interests of the whole state. Seven sections are passed up to second reading, and it is expected to get through the whole bill to-morrow evening. FRANK.

On motion of Mr. POWELL, or Kentucky, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of Ms resolution oalllnc for jlie report and evidence of the commission. At the head orwhich was General McDowell, charged to in* v e*t 5 g ate the conn net of certain officers in the West. Mr. WILSON did not think the Senate should order these Papers. If it was the report of a court*martial, where both sides could be heard, he would not object to & call tor papers In any ease whatever, mis was simply a coxDjniesion seat out to seek information for the Go vernment, much of which was to be used in the prose cution of such officers as had been derelict in duty, and become implicated m unlawful transactions. Mr. GKIMES proposed an amendment, to strike out Miß words -Secretary of War,” and insert ‘'request the President of the United Stales to transmit to the Senate tn« report and the; evidence. and any papers in his pos session shedding light npon the subject. :s t w v *v *• G ?v lW i ss »?' i^ iie nndexßtood tho whole proceedinxß. both m the institution of tills commission and its subse- 5 r< !“l» violation of the articles of —ar, which provided that no finch commission should feL r o?^ro™o e i > , t v?r,v h ?.

He had been informed that every particle of the testimony reflecting upon Gen. Curtis, taken by the m l 8 + v°Hi w “ di “Proved by testimony now inpoases sion of the President ano the War Department. So satis fictory was the evidence, that the President announced at once that Gen. Curtis was free from all blame.

That Senator had stated that tills ccmmißßioii was organized withont the knowledge no donbt the troth, for the Secretary ot War was in the habit of doing thing, with out the knowledge of the President, just as he pleased very much to the detriment of tU4 best interests of the country. If the President allowed each things to be *?£?*!?} ‘iß? 4 hie knowledge, he was not entitled to the commiseration of the country. He should Instantly demise such an official from Ms service. * Qe a n - Curtis was exculpated. He bad visited the War Department on one occasion, for the purpose of examining Into a law he had introduced ?. n War Department, and was S tIS A« tlBt Ti t Mi prl i lleie ,? f reading the reports in the War Office, He (Mr Powell) considered it an unpardon able rudeness to a Senator, and he had not put hie foot inside of that office since.

If he were either of these officers he would consider it the highest honor that could be pa M by ft* Senator from Kentucky. BHEBMAN said the evidence in the possession of the President abundantly vindicated Gen. Curtis from the charges of speculation in cotton. He had it from the Hp« of the President himself th*t the removal of Gen. Curtis was for another cause ~Mr- jjjjijj the Senator from Kansas had stated be ?a« the President or Secretary of War he WCUIa want no higher eulogy than hia censure If he thought the Secretary was performing bis duty he would have no word of censure for him. Of one thing he was cmain, that the praises of the Senator from Kansas would he verj damaging to the President and his War fcecietery. Mr, LANE, of Kans&B, had been here three years, and ha« never heard one word from the Senator (Mr. Powell) in denunciation of the leaders of the rebellion, while he beard day by day denunciations of the officers ofthe Go vernment. Mr. JOHNSON hoped the Senator from Massachusetts would withdraw hie objections to ihe passage ofthe re solution as amended. General Curtis was not the only wh v se had been damaged in public es timation by the Commisslcn. Nine-tenths of the evi dence berore it would not be received in a court of jus -I,,?K»?JP'S<2ir wonld the passage of the reso lution after the amendment of the Senator from lowa. As & general rule, however, he did not think it proper to call jot the reports of and evidence taken by commis sions sent out by the War Department to reform abuses, to he spread before the country. The subject was then informally poslpoaed General Emancipation* The bill to promote enlistments came up in order, the pending amendment being that of Mr. Brown, recoin sure a general emancipation policy as a warmea- b/f/iT.^SSSS^n reß8 ® d ft® Senate for two hours and a half in support of the proposition that Congress and the Executive were clothed with fall power to eradicate slavery, as a waT measure, and asserted that the pre sent struggle in which we were engaged would have to oyer again, if during its continuance the in etltution of slavery was not eradicated by the exercise of those powers With which Congress and the Bxecalivo aie clearly clothed* Mr. BKoWN Quoted voluminously fromPatrlok Henry and John Quincy Adams in support of the existence of this power. H e contended that Missouri, which forty years ago came into the Union by act ot Congress dedi cating her to slavery, would now gladly hall the pas sage of another a«t dedicating her to freedom. The further consideration of the bill was then post poned. Soldiers’ Pay. Mr- WILSON callsd up the bill to equalize the pay of soldiers. DAVIS < fibred an amendment, providing that the District Courts shall appoint a commissioner to deter mir e the value of and make awards to loyal owners for slaves taken Into the service. Mr. DAVIS announced bis intention to address the Senate to-morrow on the amendment. The Senate went into executive session, and soon after wards adjourned.

[FOB ADDITIONAL CITY NBWS, SEK FOUBTH PAOE.] The General Bounty-Fund Conven tion.—Another stated meeting or thin convention was held last evening, at the Board of Trade rooms, President Steinmetz In the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Professor Saunders, chairman of the Veteran Bounty Com mittee, then Btated that the members ol that com mittee had met and signed memorials to the Oity Councils, calling their attention to bounties for veteran soldiers who areoreditedtothe city at large. Some of our dally newspapers took the matter up and advocated it, especially The Press, in a welt writlen editorial. The Select Branch passed the bill having reference to the subject, and it still re mains for Common Counoil to take action upon it. He thought that by next Thursday the matter would come to ft happy issue. Mr. Lewis, another member of that committee, coincided with the remarks made by Prof, Saunders! The committee appointed to examine into the con dition ol the barracks at Twenty-second and Wood streets reported that every facility for examination was given them by Gen. Gibbons. The building would conveniently quarter 4CO men, while at the time they visited it there were about 1,200 confined within its walls. The walls have been whitewashed within the past ten days, and In this respect the building presents a cleanly appearance. There is. however, great improvement needed In the out* houses ana wathing conveniences. The committee were of the opinion that no fault could be attached to the officer in command or the barracks. The report was accepted. The committee appointed to ascertain the oorreot quota of the city stated that they waited on Major Gilbert, but be was not authorized to give the ne cessary information. They also stated that Coun cils had taken hold of the matter, and would, if such a thing was possible, secure the information desired. The committee were then discharged. The different wards then reported as follows: First—Number of men paid, 326; amount raised. $13,619.08; expended, $10,743.02* Second—Quota, 316; number raised, 270; deficiency, 40. Third—No report.

Twenty-fourth—No report. Twenty fifth—Quota, 227; raised, 17$; requlreU, 61. It was then announced that the whole amount of money requited by all thelwardaia about $40,000. The resolution of Mr. Andrews, deferred from, the last meeting, in reference to the appointment of a committee to watt upoa end folicit eubiotiptiom from the city railway companies and the public planes of amusement, was then taken up. It was then amended by adding the eteam railroad compa nies having a terminus in this city, the banking in stitutions, and other corporations. After considerable -discussion In reference to the appointment or a committee to carry out the above, the whole matter was deferred till the next meeting, which will take plsoe on Tuesday evening. The convention then adjourned. LECTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY. —Last evening the annual address before till! Philadelphia County Mrdical Society was delivered in the Hall of the University, by Pro/. Samuel I). Gross. Th 9 subject or his discourse was “ The Mutual .Relations and Obligations ef the Medioal Profession and the Public.” A large audience was prerent, and the subject was ably and eloquently treated. Dr Gross adverted to the difficulties which the medical profes sion labored under from the customs and usages of society, and showed how unjust were the legal ob stacles placed in lire way of the practitioner, and that while lawyers and divines were never found fault with for their errors of judgment, the physician was oiten subject to heavy penalties for alleged mal practice. He was pai Similarly severe on quacks and quackery, and contended that the extensive fortunes of medical quacltß were due to the pulpit and the piear—the former giving their sanction to congre- Rations that williuely followed their advice, and the latter by publishing the advertisements of quack m< dioiccs. The leoture was reoeived with evident satisfaction. Tn® Annual Commencement of the Vetekikaey Cor.7.nok of Philadelphia was hold last evening at tire Diligent Hall, Tenth and Filbert Street.. The valediotorF leoture was delivered by Professor McClure. Professor R. Jennings on fetred the degrees on the following geo tinmen; Tas. McCourt, James R. Raynor, Jacob Philips, Henry H Raynor. After conferring the degrees there was an association formed, called the “ Pennsylvania Veterinary M-dioal Association.” The following gentlemen were elected officers: President, R ibart Jennings; vice president. Robert MoOlure; record ing secretary, .Tames McCourt: correrDondlngsecre iajy, Michael W. ■Birch; treasurer, Thomas B.

Grover & Baker’s Great « Makus-actu 8180 ” Sewihg Machibb.— Under the furore and pressure of the celebrated family sewing machine, made by the Grover & Baker Company, and sold at their warerooms In this city, No. 788 Chestnut atreet, we had almoat lost sight ol their great ma ohine for Manufacturing purposes, known as their Shuttle, No, 9.” This admirable labor-saver ie now In successful operation in probably mors first class manufacturing establishments than any other sewing machine In use, for the reasons, flrßt, that It is equally well adapted for either the lightest or heaviest sewing; and, secondly, beoause the pries of It is remarkably taw. As a speedy, beautiful, and perfect sewer In every respeat, this machine de serves, end, we are glad to say, la receiving the largest attention of our manufacturers. Comparison the only Fair Test.—No matter wJiet may be laid in favor of the varioiu Sewing Machine* In nee, the only proper end aertain way of deciding upon their relative merit* 1* by aotual eom. pariaon. This 1* the test which the “ Florence ” (sold at 630 Chestnut street) invites; and it la a re markable fact that, whenever this comparison Is made by purchasers before relenting, their preference invailabiy goes m favor of the “ Florence” Machine Though we ought hardly to call this remarkable ; it Is simply oommon sense. The Florence is a wonderful machine. Every one sold by the agent ie warranted to give perfect satisfaction, or the money will be re funded after three months’ trial. i Preparing bob Spring —in looking around among the various business establishments of this city, in the different branches of trade,, we have found none more thoroughly prepared to meet the wants of the season on a most magnificent scale than the popular old clothing house of Messrs O Somers & Son, No. 628 Chestnut street, under Jayne’s Hall. Their importations of fine cloths casslmeres, and other choice fabrics for spring, are at once large and in admirable taste, and their styles of ready-made garments are unsurpassed by any others in the world. Finb Portraits op Distinguished Men,— Mr. F. Gutekunst, 704 and 706 Aroh street, has lately issued, In his usually superior style, Photo graphic pictures of Generals Grant, Hanooek, Mead?, and Tyndale, from the card to life Bize: also, a fine picture of the late William Makepeace Tiuato eray, duplicates of all of whloh can be had at his counters. Dbligioub Convections.— Mr. A. D. Vanssnt, Ninth and Chestnut streets, not only uses the finest materials in manufacturing, but he makes the most palatable and artistic Confections in the United States. His Sweet Jordan Koasted Almonds,fine Chocolate preparations, Crystalized Fruits, French and American Mixtures, and various '‘cold ” prepa rations are especially worthy of notice. Thb “Frizb-Medai.” shirt, invented by Mr. John F. Taggart, and sold by Mr. George Grant, 3to Chestnut street, is, without exception, the best shirt of the age, In fit, comfort, beauty, and durability. His stock of Gentlemen’s Furnishing Goods, ol his own exclusive manufacture and importation, is also the choicest In the city, and his prices are moderate. Thb approaching Battlbs.— All eyes are at this time turned towards our armies, and awaiting with hopeful suspense the Issues soon to be decided on the field of confiiot. Notwithstanding this anxiety, however, it is gratifying to our citizens to find that W. W. Alter, the popular coal dealer, No. 936 North Ninth street, continues, as usual, to sell the best and purest coal in the city. at the lowest prieei. Thb Hand op thb Fbbb and thb Hohb of the Bravr— The American Union is emphatically the 11 land of the free and the home of the brave.” And, whatsis more, they all enjoy, among, sther high pri vileges, the right to purchase their wearing apparel at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Bookhill A Wilson, Nos. 603 and 606 Chestnut street, above Sixth.
