The Meeting last Night.
Honored by the presence of the Vice Pre
sident Of the United States, and the Gover
nor of Pennsylvania, the meeting of the
‘ National Union Club last night was doubly
inspired by the enthusiasm of a great loyal
organization and the eloquence of its dis
tinguished guests. The Vice President and
the Hon. Hexky T. Blow could scarcely
have been surprised, and certainly did not re
gret, that the meeting should virtually have
resolved itself into an earnest welcome of the
Governor of the State. Gov. Curtin cannot
appear publicly before Pennsylvanians with
out such a reception as proveshow thoroughly
he is identified with the loyalty and progress
of the Commonwealth, and how firmly his
remarkable popularity is established upon
intelligent appreciation of his national ser
vices. It is his habit never to speak with
out saying something practical, but in
stating that Pennsylvania had done so much
that theTe will be no necessity for a draft,
he omitted to add that to his energy in en
couraging volunteering, and preventing the
enlistment, of Pennsylvanians in the regi
ments of other Estates, is chiefly due the
filling of the quota.
New Passenger Railroads.
In the House of Bepresentatives, at Har
risburg, OH Thursday, Mr. Hopkins intro
duced a hill “ incorporating the Seventh
and Ninth-streets Railroad.” This is the
third project, with the special purpose of
occupying these streets, that has been
brought into the State Legislature, this ses
sion. One of these projects has Mr. Bar
oer for its sponsor and champion; we for
get who introduced the other. In all, four
—if not —Passenger Railroad bills have
been introduced, during the session. He who
would say that Philadelphia is deficient in
accommodations of this nature, or that there
is the slightest want of even a single new
• line of Tailway in our streets, would be
laughed at, as something weaker and
worn than a fool. Yet, session after ses
sion, such schemes are brought forward in
our State Legislature, with the general in
tention, it is well understood, of never con
structing the proposed line, hut of selling
the Act of Legislature, ("if the scheme attain
final success,} to one or other of the exist
isting Bailway Companies. This trick—
Which really is black mail, bn a large
scale—ought not receive the slightest aid
from the Legislature. The city members,
whether in the House or the Senate, who in
troduce and support such projects, have not
the shadow of an excuse for their conduct.
They ought to know, and they do know—
none better—that there is not the slightest
requirement for another inch of Passenger
Railway here. They but waste public
time, and render themselves liable to have
their motives very suspiciously regarded, in
advocating any scheme of this character. If
ever they present themselves forre-election,
their conduct in this matter will surely be
remembered against them. We notice that,
in the Senate, yesterday, was introduced a
bill to incorporate the Delaware River Rail
road Company. Is this a Philadelphia
scheme ?
-•Punch” on the European Situation,
As might be expected, the wits of Punch.
are meny ar d satirical upon the war of the
Dano-Geiman Duchies. They declare that
war was inevitable from the moment Gene
ral Wb angel was placed at the head of
the Prussian army. Mr. Tbnniel’s last
cartoon is entitled “ Nemesis,” and shows
Loxns Nai-oleon and Victor Emmanuel
looking over the map of Germany. Napo
leon holds it down beneath both hands,
and Victor Emmanuel “ assists,” ("as the
Trench have it ), by looking on, and coquet
ting with his extensive moustache. The
dialogue, as given by Punch, is as follows:
Emperor ot France —“ Hm ! Prussia is ex
tending his frontier; why shouldn’t I go
to the Rhine The King of Italy adds:
“Hah! Austria is doing the same; why
shouldn’t I go to Venice ?” It may be
added, that most probably the incorporation
of Venetia with the Kingdom of Italy, and
the resumption of the Rhine as one of the
frontiers ol France, may he among the even
tualities of the war which Germany has
commenced against Denmark.
Senator Pomeroy’s proposition, that
the military power of the nation should
he used “without premature offers of par
•don by proclamation of amnesty to trai
tors,” is a truism. But it does not follow
that the conditional pardon already offered
by the President is premature. The threat
to punish the guilty is but made more em
phatie by the promise to forgive the re
pentant.
Will the ArchduKe he Emperor?
There seems mu to be considerable doubt whether
the Archduke Maximilian will ever beEnpeAr of
Mexico. He staidi like a doubtful swimmer oa
the shore of a stream, as If feaiful of plunging In.
His hesitation to accept the Imperial crown has
been the theme of numerous articles in the Euro
pean journal). The Memorial Diplomatique or Faria,
which has been called the Arehduke’e Mjnitmr, at
tempts to explain the delay in receiving the Mexican
deputation by saying that the Archduke and Arch
duchess desire to pay a farewell visit to the Arch
duchess’ father, the King of Belgium, and then to
go to Paris, in order that his Imperial Highness
may have a complete understanding with the Frenoh
Emperor be.'rie assuming the sceptre. If nothing
should prevent, their Highnesses would then cross
over to England, in order ts be present at the bap
tism of the infant Duke of Cornwall, whieh was to
have taken place on the loth of this month. Daring
tbls time, it is said, by way of explanation, that the
Mexican deputation is engaged In receiving the
votes collected in the principal cities of Mexico.
From England their Imperial Highnesses were,
according to the programme laid out, to go direct to
Vienna, where the official reception of the deputa
tion Is to take place, and where Maximilian I- ia to
be proelaimtd Emperor in the name of the Mexican
people. The imperial family of Austria is then to
accompany the nEW-made Emperor and Empress to
Trieste, to be present at their embarkation for
Mexico. On their way along the Mediterranean
-their Majesties are to stop at Civita Veeehia, and
visit Borne to ask the benediotion of the Pope.
So far ia the Eew Imperial Court calendar aet
forth by the Memorial Diplomatique. The financial
part of affairs is discussed in the London papers.
The Times stated that Sefior Arrangolz had gone to
meet the Archduke at Brussels, and accompany him
"to Faria, and that the Mexican foreign debt waa to
be settled by giving £6O of five per cent, bonds for
every -£ioo of the present three per cents., at the
same time remarking, however, that all reports
upon the subject must be looked upon as hypotheti
cal, and received with caution. One of the London
papers also said that “the agent of Messrs. Fould
Sc Co. had been In communication with Sefior Al
monte, who, duly authorized by the Emperor-elect,
had granted the concession of the new bank.”
Sefior Arrangoiz, however, immediately wrote a
letter from Bruisels to the London Daily Newt, as
surlng the public that all the above financial state
ment! were incorrect, and “that his Imperial
Highness the Archduke had not authorized General
Almonte either to grant privileges to the above
mentioned bank, or to enter into any settlement
with the English bondholders, his Imperial Highness
not having as yet definitively accepted the throne of
■Mexico.**
Thus, every thing is thrown into doubt. The splen
did programme of the Imperial progress given by tbe
Memoiial Diplomatique, and the financial specula
tions of the London press, are counterbalanced by
"the direct statement of Sefior Arrangoiz of the non
aeceptacce of the Archduke.
Many have wondered why Maximilian should, for
a moment, desire to accept the risk attending the
acceptance of the Imperial crown of a distracted
country like Mexico. The Pari, correspondent of
the Hew York l ones endeavors to explain it by say
ing the Archduke 1. in debt eight million. of frao
which he is utterly unable to pay, and which he
hopes to be able to collect In Mexico. This per
haps, may be a reaons, for there Is no knowing to
what extremes a man may run when goaded by ere
titers. Whether the present expedient, however,
will enable his Imperial Highness to raise the funds
and eKtrieale iiimaelf from nia monetary difScultlev,
or whether it will not be anew exemplification of
the old saying of “out of the frying-pan into the
fire,” remains yet to be seen.

evening at the Academy.
. WASffINGTOiy,
Washington, March 11,1864.
Mr* Uncoin and Mr* Hamlin*
The relation* between Mr. HAwlin and the Presi
dent are entirely cordial, and this faot, ao well
known here, *hould let at rest any rumor to the
contrary. Hi* friend* in Maine are the mo*t active
supporter* of Mr. Lincoln f e renomioation.
TUe Conduct of the War.
General* Grant and Mbadb came back from the
arm? to-day, and to night or tomorrow Grant will
return to Chattanooga, having said ail that he had
to say in the fewest word* and shortest time. He
will leave important orders.
Francis Waldron is the name of the Mary
land legislator who wrote the late communication in
the Chronicle about the Antietam parley between
Lbb and McClellan, and hi* character is well
mentioned by a number of our generals. Mr. Wal
dron, in hi* letter, gave no hint of the conversation,
between the rival commanders during the time he
was present at the interview. Mr. Waldron is
now held to testify, and a number of witnesses have -
been summoned by the Congressional Committed!
The worth of the report that Gen. Lxb told Mc-
Clellan that his army was crossing the Potomac
will coon be ascertained. If the Government was
not informed of this interview, its concealment by
Gen. McClellan wai criminal, and naturally
leads to further suspicion. Otherwise, the oQly
point to be investigated is the nature of the inter
view. "The whole matter, however, appear* to be a
disclosure.
Generals Hancock and Sykes are to be called to
give answer in relation to the battle of Gettysburg
The moat important testimony elicited is that of
General Warren, the talented commander of the
2d Corps, and General Meade’s mosttrusted assist
ant on that trying occasion. General Doublbday
has authorized his friends to say that he did not
make any charges against Gen. Meade to the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War 5 that he did not
ask the committee to Inquire Into *he conduct orhis
superior officer, or request to be called as a witness.
Neither does he olaim to have reoeived any order to
ietxeat at Gettysburg.
Richmond During' the Raid*
The fact is ascertained from a number of returned
officers, that when Kilpatrick was approaching
Richmond the rebel* placed one hundred kegs or
powder in the basement of the Libby, to blow up
our piisoner* in case of an attempt to rise, and it
is not doubted that the rebel President issued the
order. The stair* connecting the departments of the
officer* and men were out away, and a crowd of sen
tinel* posted at every point, under the special order
of the hyena Turner. DahlgreN’s servant, who
has fled here, gives a more piteous account of the
way in which the young hero’s remains were
treated. He was shot from ambush, in a cowardly
manner, and Ms body, found stripped of every
thing, was wrapped up by negroes and buried
in a rough box of bsrnwood, but was afterwards dug
up for exhibition. Kilpatrick’s men are baing
treated with every possible indignity, and are now
lying in chains. One of the officers in Libby has
been shot at for no offence whatever. The wife of
the rebel war Secretary, Seddon, paid a visit to the
hospital to rail at some of the wounded who fired
her husband’s barn, and a New York captain on
Belle Isle has been shot at for no offence whatever.
These reports may be in some points exaggerated]
but the most part are confirmed by gentlemanly and
respectable officers. Our prieoners are in the keep*
ing of fiends.
The Pay ol* Colored Troops*
Under Hie bill which has passed the Senate,
colored troops are to be placed on the same basis as
white*, after January .1,1864, except as to bounty,
which the President shall determine. Golored vo
lunteers, when mustered into service, shall receive
pay and clothing as other volunteers from date of
muster into service, provided it was pledged or pro
mised to them by authority of the War Depart
ment. The snine premium will be allowed colored
recruits as whites, subject to the approval of the
Secretary of War.
A Charge*
A severe charge has been made against Mr.
Daniel W. Yobhbes, the chief V&ll*ndighamite
in Congress, upon the positive knowledge of the
Commercial newspaper of Cincinnati k ,whiah asserts
that Mr. Yobhbes, with a deputation of Copper
heads from the "West, visited Governor Sethoub
“to bring a pressure upon him to take the lead in a
Northern insurrection, but was exceedingly dis
gusted because he did not find Mr. Seymour ripe
for rebellion.” This charge is made boldly, and is
worth an answer.
Schleswig and Germany*
The German minister is about to issue a sort of
reply, or counter intelligencer, to Col. Raslopv’s,
the Danish minister’s explanation of the Schleswig
question, which has had some circulation in Con
gress..
Tonnage Dues in Canadian Ports.
The Secretary of State has replied to certain in
quiries of the Secretary of the Treasury, saying, in
substance, that theie is no imperial or provincial
enaetment exempting American vessels from ton
nage or other duties in the ports of Canada. In
some of these ports duties are laid on them under
the name of light duties, hospital dues, and tonnage
dues for lepair of harbor*, Cco.: hence there exist* no
gcod reason to exempt from tonnage duties vessels
belonging wholly or in part to subject# of foreign
Powers, including those residing in British North
American provinces, on entry into our ports on the
northern, northwestern, and northeastern frontiers,
and from Biitish North American provinces. In
view of thcße facts, and in accordance with a recom
mendation of the Treasuiy Department, the House
tc-d&y passed a bill to repeal the second section of
the act to regulate the foreign coasting trsjfe on our
frontiers, thus taking from her Majesty’s sutgeots
the enjoyment of privileges which were not recipro
cated to our own citizens by the Batista Govern
ment.
Free Delivery of Letters*
The attention of the public is invited to the many
advantages of the system of free delivery of mail
matter by carriers, under the new postal law oi
March 3,1863.
Letters axe equally as safe in the hands of carriers
as if delivered from a post office, and are more cer
tain to be handed to the rightful owners, who are
thus saved the time and trouble of calling or sending
for their correspondence, which is frequently done
when there sre no letters for the applicant.
Under the old system of delivering letters rrom post
offices when called for, much time is necessarily con
sumed in arranging letters in boxes for the general
delivery, and distributing them in private boxes for
those who rent the latter, while in each of these
operations it is almost Impossible to avoid mistakes,
particularly at the general delivery, where letters
are liable to be misplaced in the press of applica
tions. From these causes, many letters fail to be
delivered In due time, and others are lent to the
Dead Letter Office.
Whenever it is practicable, letters should be plain
ly directed to the residence or plaoe of business of
the person addressed, and the street and number
designated. This is a matter of the first importance
In sending letters to cities or large town.; but
"When the persons addressed are non-residents,
whose particular locality cannot be given, this fact
should be indicated by the word " Transient.” On
the other band, every person writing from a city or
large town ehould always inscribe at the commence
ment of Ms letters the street and number of his
residence. This would not only insnre the correct
and prompt delivery oi any reply, but also the re
storation of the letter in esse it could not be de
livered.
Another important requisite is that postage
stamps should be placed in tbe upper right-hand
comer ofletters, so as to leave ample space between
the stamps and the addresses, to allow of post
marking and cancelling without interference with
the writing.
The United States Supreme Court.
The ease before the Supreme Court to-day is that
of Frederick Sohuchabdt et ah, plaintiff, in

cases, of whioh 169 have been reached. Ae the court

fixed the point on the western boundary of the

within the limits of the township in lowa opposite
the town of Omaha, in Nebraska. Sinoe then the
company -Juts represented to me that, upon actual
surveys made, it has determined upon the precise
potot of departure of their said branch road from
the Missouii river, and located the tame, as described
in the accompanying report of the Secretary of the
Interior, which point is within the limits designated
in the order Of Povember last; and inasmuch as that
order is not Of record in any of the Executive llo
partments, and the company, having desired a more
definite one, have made the order, of which a copy is
herewith transmitted, I have caused the same to be
filed in the Department of the Interior.

The Colored-School Fund in Washington*
Several year* ago Congress passed an aot appro
priating ten per cent, of the municipal tax paid by
colored tax-payers for educational purposes. An
offiaJal report has been made to the House Of Re
presentatives, from which it appear* that during the
last two year* this fund amounted to $739 in the
cities of Washington and Georgetown. A day
school was recently opened with forty pupil*, and
increased the first week to on© hundred. Want of
room compels refusal to numbers pleading to enter.
The extreme eagerness of the children and adults,
including ireedmen from abroad, to reoeive instruc
tion, induced certain Government employees to vo
lunteer their services as teachers of evening sohools,
and, ~s* a result, eight evening sohools, filled mostly
with adult*, are now crowded with eager learners.
The report urges upon Congress the entire inade
quacy of the pecuniary means furnished to give effi
ciency to colored sohools, and asks for aid which
will, by and by, be rendered necessary by the in
crease of their taxable bfoperty and consequent
school revenue. ,
The Pacific Railroad*
The proceedings of the lowa Legislature were
presented to the Senate to-day, praying Oongress to

the location of the Sioux City branch as to allow it
to run rrom Sioux City weatwardly to unite with
the main trunk by the nearest and most practicable
route, instead of running north of the valley of the
Platte at right angles with the branches of the Loup
Fork and Elk Horn rivers, involving a heavy cost
for bridges and construction over a rough and im
practicable route, »

DESERTERS FROM LONGSTREET’S army
SHERMAN’S EXPEDITION.
Cairo, March 9.—From an officer just from Yicks
bnrg, I learn that the previous report that Sher
man’s expedition had returned to Vicksburg with
out the loss of a man should have been qualified.
He had returned to Vicksburg, that is sure, but did
lose of a few men killed and wounded, but less than
might have been expected,. from so extended a
march with so large a force. There was a loss of
some twenty wounded in skirmishing among the
Ohio troops. Besides an army of negroes, about one
hundred rebel prisoners were brought in.
The aad Ohio Regiment, Colonel Potts, arrived
here this A. M, 600 strong, re-enlisted as veterans,
on the steamer Tycoon, on their way home, being
the first to get here who participated in Sherman’s
expedition. The regiment is in fine condition to
come off such a march as they had. But few par
ticulars regarding the expedition were learned be
yond those already sent. Thera was no regular fight
ing after leaving Canton, where they encountered
Wirt Adams’ cavalry. There were no commissioned
or field officers killed. The reports of Gen. Crocker’s i
death need confirmation. I
The main body of Sherman’s force never left Me
ridian, but the cavalry went out destroying eighty
miles of railroad, burning rebel stores, breaking up
a number of locomotives, and a large quantity of
rolling stock in the vicinity, and bringing in all the
negroes who desired to leave. Women and children
and disabled colored men were not brought off, so
that nearly all taken can be made use of, in one ca
pacity or another.
REBEL REPORTS.
The Mobile Register of the 26th ult. says
! The damage done to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
: extends from Lauderdale to two miles below Quit
man, a distance of forty-six miles, ail the bridges
and trestle work beirg destroyed, and the traok torfT
I up for miles at intervals, as elsewhere stated.
: Everything at Lauderdale Springs was .destroyed.
' The Southern road is completely torn up from Jaok-
I son to Meridian. Our informant states that the
enemy committed few depredations upon private
property beyond helping themselves to provisions.
At Quitman they took bed clothing, but their ex
cuse was that they were misinformed as to the dis
tance, and came without blankets, expecting to re
turn the same day. They are supposed to have car
ried oft about 300 negroes, selecting the likeliest,
and in one or two instances driving back some lots
that they did not consider eligible.
Some pereons about Enterprise took the Yankee
oath, and accompanied them on their retreat, but
this was entirely voluntary, no attempt teas made to etl
force iU The brigade that visited Quitman con
versed freely of their plans, and inquired if there
was cot an attack going on upon the forts below
Mobile. They understood that to be a part of the
programme, the object being to divert the Confede
rate forces. They said they had no intention of moving
against and their excursion to Quitman was only
for the purpose of destroying the bridge over the Chickasa*
bay > ioprtvtnt troops from coming up the road. Their
plan, as gathered from their movements and con
versation', and from the statement of prisoners, was,
after uniting with Grierson and Logan, to move
upon Selma and Montgomery- According to the
prisoners their next scheme is to hasten back to
Grant, and march upon Columbia, South Sarolina.
CHATTANOOGA.
Chattanooga, Marsh 9 —The camps were full of
provoking rumors to-day. It was reported that a
party of rebels made a dash on the railroad, nine
miles up the river, attempted to destroy the bridge
there and were repulsed by the 4th Michigan Ca
valry. The rebels are said to be part of John Mor
gan’s forces. The whole story is doubtless a canard.
Eagle eyes are watching rebel movements, and no
more suoh raids can be made with impunity.
Wheeler, Morgan, Roddy, and Patterson, four
eminent oavaly leaders of the enemy, are now all in
and around Dalton. The probabilities are that John
ston’s army will soon be largely increased by acces
sions from Mississippi and Alabama.
Veterans are returning every day in large num
bers.
KNOXVILLE.
Knoxvixxe, Term., March 8 —All the laborers on
the London bridge have been sent below to work on
the Dalton Railroad.
A British subject, one Thomas Wispham, left
here to-day, going North. He ran the blockade into
the Confederacy with .£l,OOO to speculate in cotton,
was conscripted into the rebel army, passed through
several severe battles, aud finally escaped into our
lines, a wiser man.
Knoxvjx.ee, March 9.—Since the first of February
three hundred and thirty-eight non-commissioned
officers and privates, and five commissioned officers,
have come into our lines here,* as deserters from the
rebel army, have taken the oath, and been released-
The aggregate during January was six hundred.
Two hundred and sevenly-tive prisoners were cap.
tured during January and February, of whom eleven
have taken the oath.
General Schofield and staff left for the ftont this
afternoon. Lieutenant Colonel Schofield, of General
Schofield’s staff, leaves tomorrow for Kentucky on
a tour of inspection. There are no active operations
in the {font.
THE REBEL FOKGEI.
There are now at Dalton and Tunnel Hill six di
visions and two old brigades of rebel Infantry—viz;
Four brigade!, consisting of Roddy’s, Patterson’s,
Hume’s, and Davidson’s cavalry: Hardee’s infantry
corps, consisting of Walker’s, Cheatham’s, and
Claiborne’s divisions; Hindman’s corps, made ud
of Stevenson’s, Stewart’s, and Bates’ commands.
Four thousand men is a large estimate for each di
vision of infantry, and three thousand for a dlvi
r eavairy. This would give a grand total of
29.000 men.
There are no apprehensions of a raid on the rail
roads; all the lines are betog rebuilt. The road to
Ringgold is nearly finished, and will be well guarded.
Veterans are coming in at the rate of 2,000 ner
day. Many icgimcnts bring bask 300 or W more
recruits.

Committee on Finance.
A Message from Che President.
A message was received from the President of the
United States, eitablieblng the initial point of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, which Is published
elsewhere. Referred to the Committee on Pacific Rail
road.
A resolution of Mr. LANB. of Kansas, was agreed to,
inquiring into the expediency of providing aid for a
branch of the Pacific Railroad from Warrensburg, in
Miesonri, to Imporfa* in Kansas.
The Prepayment of Interest.
The Senate then took up tbe House joint resolution to
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to anticipate the
payment of the interest os the public debt.
fir. BBhDBICKS modified tils amendment of yester
day, as follows: “That tbe Secretary is hereby autho
rized to dispose of any sold not necessary for the pay
ment of the interest on the public debt, for war material
and supplies* or for the payment of debts of the United
States then due* provided the earns are paid and received
at the value of gold in the city of New York in compare
son with local-tender notes. ”
Mr. HEM>BI< KS said he approved of the purpose of
distributing the money in the Treasury amongst the peo
ple in a proper and safe mode* so that it might again re
turn to tbe channel of eommetce. If bis measure was
&<. opted, the money would be paid out, not -in very
large sums, but as tbe sustenance of toe credl of the
Government might require. If there was a hundred
thonssnd dollars to convey to a Government creditor, he
would as leave take the gold at Its value as legsl
tender notes.
The effect of the proposition of the Senator from
Ohio would be to throw upon the country from six to
twenty millions of dollars in gold. Tbe ultimate effect
of this, he thought, would be to depreciate the price
of the currency* for as soon as the Government
has withdrawn from the market uu goes gold agtin.
as speculation then, commences. The proposition ha
made was that the Secretary should Issue tbe told iu
the ordinary course of business of ths Treasury; then,
11 there was any mint value in the gold on hand the
Treasury would reap the advantage. If he would refer
to the speech of the Senator from New Hampshire,
now absent. he would have no difficulty in proving
that the Navy Department had made friends and favo
rites rich. He might also refer to thef&et that a banking
company had been made rich by its connection with the
Treasury Department- the firm of Jay Gooke ft or>.—in
Its disposal of the bonds of the Government. These
bonds might have been diseased of on as good terms by
tbe ordinary machinery of the Department. If the Se
cretary was going.to sell this gold.it was btrely possible
that some Senator might deßlre to attend the sale* and
what would be Ue Burtvrise to see present the member
of the banking hone© of Jay Oooke ft Co. * already rich
frtm tbe drippings from the Treasury.
Mr, StiEBMiN would say but a few words in reply to
the Senator from Indiana In bis unjust attack upon the
Secretary of the Treasury. The Senator would pay out
this gold to tbe contractors, and forget entirely tbe
claims of the soldiers. He did sot eee why any class of
pt-rsofiß ebouid he selected for the purpose of receiving
this gold. Ibe Senator kn;w Well that it was ImpOßiib'.C
to set aside this gold In the way he proposed under the
rules of the Treasury Department. Mr Sherman de
fended the Secretary iu his action in placing the five- ,
twenty loan In tbe hands of Jay Cooke ft Co. He stated
that the Secretary had made tbe arrangement with them
after r* pea ted failures to negotiate loans in New York
except at ruinous rates. They procured tbe ten million
loan on favorable terms, and the Secretary continued
their agency in the sale of the five-twenty bonds. They
were taktfn by tbe people in all parts of tbe country,
and the money came pouring Into the Treasury in
streams.
The hanks of the country know that Jay Cooke ft Go.
were employed to negotiate, and that they received
only one eighth of one per cent., while their agents re
ceived one-quarter of one per cent, Out of this meagre
percentage of the banking company came all the ex
penses of advertising* telegraphing, and expressing.
No loan had ever been negotiated in. thin or other
countries on more favorable terms than the five-twenty
loan. The fortunes of these hankers were made before
the war commenced, and the Secretary was induced to
employ them fortheir skill and sagacity, and the result
wa* an admirable success.
If Mr. Chase had gone to New York and asked for tbe
loan it could not have been taken, as she bad Only one
seventh of the money of tbe country. He had an
acini ration for Louis Napoleon above some of his
conntrymen, and he appealed from the Paris Bourse to
the people themselves to sustain the national credit.
So with Secretary Chase Instead of going into the
market of New York, he gives them only the same ad
vantage be gave to all other citizens of the Union.
He believed chat three millions of people were Inter
ested in the five-twenty loan of every class and interest
in the country.
Mr. BENDKIGKS denied that his amendment provided
for any favored class. He proposed that the Secretary
should take tbe gold at its value in New York, and pay
it frem tbe Treasury to creditors Would that be fayor
ing the contractor ? He would go further tl an the Bena
tor from Ohio in paying the soldier the equivalent of
thirteen dollars per month in gold- «.
Mr. WILSON tald the passage of this bill would have
tbe effect to check speculation in gold, and he would
vote for it. He believed another and a better wav to
check speculations in gold was for Congress to address
itself diligently to the perfection of bills increasing the
revex ue.
Mr. SHEBMAN said Mr. Wilson seemed to forget that
aJI revenue buJe must originate in tbe House,
Mr. FBbSBNDBN knew that thy House committee were
using all their abilities and wisdom iirperfectinz proper
revenue measures. •
Mr. WILSON had great confidence in the Senate Fi
nance Committee, and was glad to hear what he had
ju*theard fnm its chairman. It conld not be denied
that the advance in gold was owing, in a great mea
sure* to the fact of our inability to pay our expenses as
we go along. He believed it to qc the duty of Congress,
at the earliest practicable moment, to doable the Inter
nal revenue of the country. The people were better
able to pay an increased revenue now than at a future
time. Instead of the trifling tax of sixty cents on
whisky, we should have had a tax of one dollar and
fifty cents and double the tax on manufactured tobacco
and other articles. He said this boldly* though repre
senting a State engaged more largely than others in
manufacturer. He said the speculative value of void in
New j ork city whb three per cent over foreign ex
change It was highly important that measures should
he adoutedto lecnre a uniform national currency.
Mr POWELL deprecated legislation giving officials
increased powers, or placing them in the way oftempta
tion. He considered it unwise to place in the hands of
any man the power to enrich his Mends and favorites
out of the Government funds Be'urged that, Instead of
throwing the gold into the market, it should constitute
a sinking fund for extinguishing the public debt, not to
depreciate the price cf gold* bat to prevent the deprecia
tion of ©ap#r money.
Mr. JOHNSON* while he would not oppose the mea
sure proposed by Mr. Sherman, was in favor of in
creased taxation, and an economical management of
the finances, astro surest meansof relieving tha coun
try. He said the ease of Jay Cooke ft Co* was but one
oi a thoutand of cases of misunderstanding, where
reports wtre noised abroad, which, upon invei
tf Ration, proved to he incomct. He had under
stood that Jay Cooke & Co. had received one-half of one
percent, of which they paid half to the basks a< ting as
agents for the Government, paving the expense of ex
posing, advertising. Sc-, and Jay Cooke S Go getting
or©-fourth of one per cent for nothing. Bat he was glad
to find that this report was untrue.

“Germantowh Wool.”— It alwaya afford, ua
pleaaureto chronicle fast, of Interest to the ladle.,
the more to when the point. Involved reflect new
luatre upon home induatry, and our ability to live
Independently of foreign Power,, epeoially auch at
have not yet learned the international propriety of
minding their own bualceaa. The Immense quanti
ty, of German zephyr, that are now annually oon
aumed in thlioountry, la variou, kind, of eroohet
work and other purpcaei, ha, at hut stimulated
American Ingenuity to produce an acceptable sub.
atltute. For the introduction of thla new article
(“Germantown Wool”) thia community i, largely
Indebted to the enterprlae of Mr. John M. Finn,
proprietor of the popular old atand, southeast corner
of Seventh and Arab streets. Mr. Finn 1, selling a
large amount of the Germantown Wool, and there
are two reasons why we feel an Interest In aeouting
for It a still wider recognition at the hands of the
ladiea. it la an American article, and it average,
one dollar per pound less in price than the imported
zephyr, while the color, of It are quite a* rich and
equally desirable in every* particular, and the fibre
wiil bear almost as high a compliment.
In order to attraot more general attention to the
Germantown Wool, how It appears wrought, Ac.,
Mr. Finn now exposes In hi, window a large shawl,
with a white eentre and rich Bomanborder in color,,
maae from it, by which visitor, are enabled to aee
at a glance the high standard attained by Amerioan
manufacture, in thic important department. We
advise the ladies of Philadelphia to visit Seventh
and Arcb, and examine the Germantown Wool. If
they do, they will substitute it for the German
Zephyr forever hereafter.
Whbbb to Dinb.—The art of dining i, a thing to
be acquired. Comparatively few men learn the art
at home. This ie a sad confession, but the truth of
it atones for lit ssdncaa. Tboae who have not so
learned it—we speak a, a. bachelor, of course—will
be able to take a high degree by trying Price’s Sa
loons, Fourth and Chestnut streets, for a few days.
Mr. Price, with commendable enterprise, has shown
to Philadelphian, how they may dine down town
with comfort and real gußtator; enjoyment. Those
who have not yet patronized his saloona, let them do
so at once, on our recommendation.
Elegant Netv Stock.— Merer*. C. Somers Sc
Son, the popular clothier,, No. 625 Oheitnut street,
under Jayne’* Hall, have now read; their spring
importation,, on examination of which we And
that It BUtpaisea in extent, riohness, and variety
anything that they have ever offered. Thegarments
made by tbia firm are fully equal, in every particu
lar, to those produoed by the very first merchant
tailoring establishments; but as their trade is very
extensive, their prices are much more reasonable.
Give them a call, everybody.
Thebe is Always Economy in Butins the
Best,—This is true in purchasing almost every
thing, but in nothing does it apply with more force
than in the selection of a Sewing Machine. The
“Florence,” sold at 630 Chestnut street, is without
doubt the best machine that has yet been produced.
This la attested by hundreds of persons in this city
who have them in uie, Thir, considering that the
“ Florence ” is sold at as low a price as the less de
sirable msebines, is alone sufficient to account for
the fact that the popular preference is now almost
universally given to the “ Florence.”
Fluctuations in Gold. —The present week has
well nigh taken the heads off some people, specula
tively inclined, and some, we learn, have, through
luck, suddenly grown rich. Next week, alas! they
may find themselves poor! But whether rich or
poor, the place to buy coal is at W. W. Alter’s, 935
North Ninthstreet,
An Invaluable Household Blessing. The
pretenee of a Grover & Baker Sewing Machine in
every household can no longer be regarded as a
luxury, bnt a necessity, at least in all eases where
health and economy are duly consulted. The most
thorough experiments have demonstrated that in
an ordinary family the use of one of these admira
ble instruments will fully save the amount of its
cost annually.' This, added to the fact that it is
operated with greater ease, and hence with less
detriment to health than any other sewing machine
in use, and that it performs a variety or desirable
family sewing which no other machine attempts, is
sufficient to induce all who have not yet done so
to go to 730 Chestnut street at once, and Make the
necessary investment.
Bbmbmbbr Tour Wire and Children.— An
old bachelor might sneer at tms advice. Men of
sense, however, who have not been “numbered
amiss,” and who are fulfilling their destiny, will take
the hint and go to E. G. Whitman A Co.’s, No. 318
Chestnut street, and secure a package of their dell
clous and healthful confectionery-before going home

SPECIAL NOTICESA
Spobts op Winter and Spring
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALT..
Oh, lively youth, rejoiced to glide
Across the Schuylkill's frozen tide*
What bliss thy boiom knows*
When by thee some fair skater skims.
Whose sparkling eye with pleasure swim*
Whose cheek with crimeou glows'
But like all joys of earthly-,day,
That Ice did soon dissolve away,
Hor left a trace behind,
And yon, who’ve sported on its plain
Hast, now tis turned to waves again.
Some new diversion And.
When Spring with verdure clothes the m*U
Then mount and gallop forth your steed,
So mettlesome and fleet,
Or posh yonr light batteau from shore.
And make, with sturdy arm, your oar
The foaming waters beat.
Tkui may 5 ©u hope to interest
Bach gazing damsel's artless breast.
Who gladly will behold
A graceful youth, intent to pleat?,
Pursuing manly sports like these,
• 80 active and so bold.
Bnt yet, to captiv&t s the eye.
With all your grace, in vain you’ll try.
If dressed in uncouth guise,
And nowhtrs are thereauits so nice.
For Spring’s green leaves or Winter's ice.
