Sir It is tbe only Machine that makes more than one
kind of a stitch, and has the reversible feed with a uni
form tension.
Ater It makes/eat,. di erent etitchm the lock. knot,
doubts lock. and double knot. on one and the same ma
chine. Bach stitch being alike on both Wes of the fa
bric. end neither of them irif ravel.
Ng- It has the reverstble feed motion, which enables
the operator, by simply turning it thumb strew, to have
the work run either to the right or left. to stay any part
of the same, or fasten the ends of the seams, without
turning the Waits, a great advantage over all others.
*dr Changing the length of the stitch, and from one
ind of stitch to another, can readily be doze while the
Machir.e.ls in motion,
Er Every stitch fs perfect in itself mating the seam
secure and uniform. -
Afar It is almost noiseless in its operations.
/Or Its motions are all positive: there are no springs
to get out of order, and its simplicity enables the most
inexperienced to operate it.
It will not oil the dress of the operator. as all the
machinery to on the top or the table.
Sir Is is the moat rapid Sayer in Ake world; waking
live stitches to each revolution.
Jar Its stitch is the wonder of all, because of it s
combined elasticity. Strength, and beauty.
Mr It does the heaviest or finest work with equal
facility. without change of tension. -
,e-Every Machine has one of is nok's patent hem.
piers attached. (the right to use which we control. )
enabling the operator to tarn any width of. hem. de
o-frect.
Sir There is no other Machine which will do so large
a range of work as the Florence.
Aoir It does not require finer thread on the under side
than it d oes on the upper, and UMW any kind of thread
or silk.
Aiir The needle le more easily adjtusted than in any
other Machine.
Xi- It will sew across the heaviest seams, without
change of tension or breaking of thread.
Fa* It is fully protected by 9 patents, and licensed by
Elias Bowe, Jr.. and his associates.
Mr To avoid the strain on the eyes, bent postures,
close app/ication and fatiguing care, heretofore ne
cesnary on a large proportion of work done on other
Sewing Machines we now furnish each Machine with
_Eurnetsn:9 Beif.fisiocr." which guides the work
itself, and is of great value. especially to inexperienced
operators.
,g3r While possessing the above, and many other ad
verity gee, the Florence is sold at corresponding prices
with otherlirst,class Machines.
MP We retrain from publishing the highly compli
mentary notices of the press With which we are daily
favored, and place our Machine before the public, know
ing that an in:elligent examination of its merits will
fully substantiate all that we have claimed for it, and
justify the assertion we now make, that it is the best

for it. and will give a written warranty if required.

General Warren.
General Warren has just established the head
quarters of the 6th Corps in town. This General,
since the battle of Gettysburg, has commanded the
ed Corp, and brought himself into notice at the
battle of Bristow Station. Every reader of The
Press remembers our usual fall retreat from the Ra
pidan to the heights of Centreville. Lee endeavored
to throw a large corps between the Army of the Po
tOmee and Washington, but was frustrated by the
active manoeuvring of General Meade. The 211
Corps which has covered every retreat since Mc-
Clellal fell back from Richmond, was again in the
rear. As the column neared Kettle Run, and pre
pared to cross et Bristow, the enemy attacked them
namely: Warren was marching his men by the
flank, when Beth's brigade, of Hill's corps, engaged
hint. Warren was highly praised for the general
ship he here 'displayed, and at Mine Run was se
lected to lead an important attack upon the enemy's'
right flank. After he reported the foolhardiness! of
such an attempt, the design was relinquished.
eI,RANT'S DDIADQUARTERI3.
General Grant's headquarters are at Mrs. Riney%
a large brick house in the centre of the town. War
ren is establiahed but a few rods distant, in what
was once the Virginia Hotel. The entire village is
being policed to-day that is, the streets are being
cleared and cleansed. All the officers who have been
ensconced in houses during the early and greater'
portion of the winter, have been ordered to their va
rious regiments, brigades, or whatever it may hap•
pen to be. This will leave a large number of vacant
houses, but they will soon find new occupants.
Tan CORHOLIDATION—RIMORD Cr TEM 3D CORPS.
The consolidation of the different army corps has
been a subject of so mush discussion that it is a mat.
ter of much wonder to me how so many appear to
be surprised. General French bade adieu to the 3d
corps In affectionate language. Very few thought
the 3d corps, which now numbered almost twenty
thousand muskets, would be fused into a smaller
one. That the 24 corps, numbering less than ten
thousand bayonets, shoUld be consolidated with an
other, Wail probable—the extinction of the 3d corps
Impossible. This corps, like the Ist, of which Gene
ral Newton has just taken leave, to report to Sher.
man, was organized as early as March, 1862, before
..proceeding to the Peninsula. They have been in
twenty different battles and' skirmishes, from Wit
liamsport, May 6th, 1862, to Locust Grove, Novem.
her 27th, 1863. When first organized Heintzeiman
commanded the corps, Hamilton the Ist, F. J. Porter
the ad, and Hooker the'2d division. In Roman
history we read of klarcellus and Fabius, the sword
and shield of Rome. How many such swords and
shields have been furnished the Union from this
single corps d'armee ? Their names are Ileprney,
Heintzelman, Hooker, Hamilton, Humphreys,
Steneman, Sedgwlck, Sickles, and tile present corn.
Mender of the Ist division, Blrney.
RE-IRSTATBSIBIST.
A few weeks ago two majors of the 17th Penn
go lvania Cavalry were summarily dismissed the
service for disobedience of a General Order. There
was neither hearing nor court martial in the ease.
The order of their dismissal having gone through
the newspaper press, it is but right that the notice
of their re instatement should be printed.

MOVISPED INPASITRY—RORSSEE HAVE, WINOS.
Horse racing is no longer a source of amusement
among the soldiers. It is an epidemic. In the ca
valry, those to whom the Government has furnish•
ed excellent horses are dissatisfied, and want better
ones, and when there is a favorable opportunity
steal others. I have noticed most of the infantry
stationed in town have managed to keep themselves
tolerably well mounted all winter. It is much safer
to leave your pocket.book in a streetcar in Phila
delphia, than your private horse unguarded in the
army. If your horse should happen to have U. S.
branded on the shoulder, he is safe. It without
these initials, that is if he be your own private pro
perty,take My advice and never for an indent lose
sight of him, for should he once disappear it would
be forever. Two days ago, Captain Tallman, quar
termaster of DlerritVs Cavalry division, sent a small
squad of men to Brandy Station after a lot of mules-
On their way thither the men got to conversing
about races. A. on, they hazarded a wager or two,
and finally all scampered over the undulating plain,
racing as fast as their horses would go. They were
all galloping up a slight eminence, each man spur
ring his horse to win, never imagining that General
Meade and his staff were approaching on the same
road, but concealed from view by the slight ascent
-in the ground. Straight through the advancing
party they charged like a whirl wind, and never drew
rein till they were far on the other side.
General Meade sent a major from hii staff after
the culprits. They succeeded in capturing live of
the party, who were placed in arrest and marahed
back to Culpeper. The General ordered their cap-
Wu to have some severe and signal punishment in
flicted upon them, the nature of which should be re.
ported to him. Historians notice the humanity and
generosity of Napoleon, who offered large rewards
to any sailor who should rescue from the waves any
of his soldiers who were so unfortunate as to fall
overboard. Napoleon wanted every man—it WAS
his desire that none should be wantonly saorifteed.
Meade would not have his horses foolishly fagged
put. Horses are becoming mercer, and like a
thoughtful, provident general, he would have every
animal perform regular marches or be slain fre ac
tion.

Although on the surface Allis quiet in the mu ita•

some things which are pregnant with interest, i(not
danger. Only a few miles from us, a large rebel
force, flushed with recent victory, and laden with
spoils, occupies a strongly fortified position, which
is growing stronger every day. Thomas has fallen
back from Dalton, Schofield is quiet in Knoxville,
Sherman ha. completed his reconnoissance in Mis•

suming but little time. This sudden concentration
of armies upon a single point has been the policy,
the practice, and the secret of the guineas of the
rebels from the beginning of the war. If their war
counsels conclude that both Florida and Richmond
cannot be held, I have not a doubt we shall have
hot times very soon—as soon 118 we are ready to
play successfully our part of the game. Since the
capture of the " Sumpter," an account of which I
wrote you last week, the
afar more valuable prize, has been taken further up
on the $t Johns. The second expedition was fitted
out at Palatka. A. prize crew from the Pawnee's
launch was put aboard the Sumpter, and she was at
once put into service. Acting Master Champion
took command, and made the steam-tug Columbine
his flag-ship. F. W. Sanborn, mate, and twelve ma•
lines formed the crew. On the night of the 12th
inst. this not very formidable crew started out on
a cruise up the St. Johns. Rations were taken for
only three days, and, when live days had passed, no
tidings having been received from them, we became
considerably alarmed tor their safety. Some of the
streams they were to navigate were so narrow that,
by felling two or three trees across the channel, the
enemy could prevent their return. But an earnest
leader, such as master Champion is, with the pros
pect before him of capturing a valuable prize, will
run many risks and make many a rough. shift when
provisions are getting low.
After leaking a thorough eXpioratiOn of Lake
George without success, he moves on up the river,
exploring every tributary, bay, and bayou of that
crooked abeam fill Patatka, some eighty miles in
the rear. Further up Lakes Burford and Jeaup are
examined, but nothing found, and it is resolved to
push up to Lake Harney, 130 miles above Palatka.
It was in this broad and beautiful lake that per.
severance was crowned with success. The Hattie,
as she was fondly and familiarly called, was found
tied up near the beach, in an outof-themay place,
and left to her fate. Our men, without molestation,
took peasession, towed her out into a safe plate,
and made some hastraxaminations. She had on
board 100 bales of cotton, a quantity of turpentine,
a lot of resin, and some old copper. It was found
that the side valves of her engine were wanting;
wooden ones were extemporized, and In four hours
steam was up, and the enlarged fleet moved down
the river.
The Nettie has the capacity for carrying 800 bales
of cotton, cabins for about seventynfive passengers,
an excellent double engine, and coat mow. She

The discussion of miscegenation -in the editorial
columna of the dailies is causing the public to cast
an investigating eye at ealerring cases of this eadars
ble theory in practice. There are several miscege
nators of long Standing in our Midst, and Singularly
enough, they have attracted no peculiar attention
to themselves previous to the present agitation of
the subject. Unfortunately for those who are so
fiercely renouncing all Republicans as apostles of
the ‘. ation," by far the greater number of those
whO have adopted it belong to a class of foreigners
who always vote the straight ticket of the so-called
Democracy. The fact, of course, has no political
bearing, but it becomes pertinent when we recol
lect that the science of amalgaination is continually
charged upon Republicans alone.
There are at prevent two ladies of wealth and for.
mer position—politics not known—who have black
husbands, and who reside in this city without mo
lestation, or unpleasant notoriety. One was origi
nally from Bridgeport, Conn., where her family, a
most respectable one, resides. The case of the se
cond is remarkable, and might furnish a page to ro
mance. this lady is a timely, magnificent woman,
possessing tine Intellectual and inofill indoWments,
and a culture on all that pertains to Social accom
plishments, which, perhaps, is only too rarely met
with. She was an orphan, and poasessed in her own
right, property valued at fifty thousand dollars.
Some years ago while riding in her carriage, she
was thrown violently to the pavement, and rendered
insensible by the injuries which she sustained.
The first man who reached her was black—purely
African. He took her to his mother's house, and when
she was litaidently revived conveyed her home in a
carriage. Every day during which the lady remained
an invalid, the black called at the door, inquiring
after her health. He sent her delicate presents,
and she accepted them. He proposed, and she as
opted him. They were married, bought a house,
and, although living under one roof, have ever kept
to their separate apartment.. Not unfrequently
they walk arm-in-arm through the streets. She
still moves in her original social sphere ; he moves
"in his. The facts of the case are patent to all who
know her; nor does she ever attempt their conceal
ment. Perhaps it was gratitude which led her to
contract the nominal marriage; perhaps it was
fancy, or love. We only have the result, while the
reason is hidden. Certainly the affair doe' not
come under the head of Miscegenation, but rather
under that what Doctor Johnson need to call the
anfractuosities of the human mind. None who
know the lady pretend to censure her conduct, al
though many of her acquaintances, indeed the great
majority of them, may reasonably be suspected of a
loathing for the vile theory referred to.
TRH CITY TO BE TWINBLED.
The idea of constructing an underground railway
from Bowling Green to Central Park seems to be
seriously entertained. It offers a solution for the
troublesome problem on which so many suggestions
have been wasted, of relieving our main thorough.
fares from an excessive' crowd of vehicle., and at
the same time offering fresh facilities for, travel.
The estimated cost onkertunnel, exclusive of rails,
is about four milliongAnd sounarter. It is proposed
to run it between Fiftfamul Sixth avenues, so as to
avoid striking the lines Woe, water, and sewers.
Numerous stations will lie established between the
termini, for botlfpauengers and freight.
The " friends" have had another little frolic of their
own, which, although it mourned the proportions of
an inconsiderable riot, was not of the usual sanguine.
ry character. An Irish lad of some eight or nine
years had been run over and killed by one of the
city railroad cars, while he was endeavoring to steal
a ride upon the line. The body Was taken to Belle.
vue Hospital, and there laid out preparatory to an
inquest being held. Upon hearing of the accident,
the parents hurried to the hospital, and requested
the corpse, which request being properly refused,
they summoned a mob and captured the place by
storm. After possessing themselves of the body,
they retired. No arrests appear to have been made.
A monument is to be erected in Trinity Church, to
the memory of Bishop Onderdonk, who, it , will be
remembered, was tried and convicted before his peers
in Episcopacy; upon the charge of filthy conduct. A
portion of the sculpture is to be devoted to a dumb
Vindication of his character.
Now and then a corner of the veil which hides the
mysteries and miseries of the city is lifted, and a
momentary glimpse afforded of the horrors which
lie beyond. Suet now some little excitement exists,
regarding the manner in which female emigrants are

We Have not an Hour to Loge.il
To the Editor of The press:
A few days ago' I attended the meeting of
one of the committee for our great Sanitary Fair,
and - was much Impressed with the remark (by a gen
tlemen present), which is at the head ot this Qom.
miusication. It was evident that a great Work was
to be aroomplished in a very short time,. their plane
of operation were discussed and acted upon ; the
ladies were busy in forming their subcommittees,
so that every department of labor and revenue
could be properly and efficiently reached ; but it sp.
pears to me that, as yet, no efficient measures have
been taken to secure at ace the full 00.0Peration of
a large and patriotic portion of our citizens. I al
lude to ladles at home, engaged in no business,
having their time at their disposal, who are not
grey willing but anxious to be (*.laborers in this
at and noble work, and will give their labor from
row until June in making up furnished material.
Only think of the vast variety and beauty of all
zephyr.work ; the vast variety lit form and color of
children', clothing ; in shorr r of all the variety of
forma of usefulness and fancy that dry goods can
be fashioned into, by the willing hands, and sugges
tive minds of those ladies.
What gentleman, with money in his pooket, would
go away from those Fair Halls 'without, for in.
stance, a dreasing.gown, if the thought passed
through Ms mind that the price of it would bring
home from the battlefield the dead body of a son to
his mother, or wrap a warm blanket around the
ahivering and shattered form of some loved one (all
soldiers e loved by somebody.) And now I would
earneetly suggest, that if there are committees, to
attend exclusively to the makbig up of donated ma
terial, that it should be more extensively known.
Every hundred dollars worth of material would no
doubt bring several hundreds moreoafter passing
through the hands and sewing maehines of ladies,
now waiting thus to be employed.
Ilexpeotfully yours, • MATER.

The movements of gold defies all comprehension. and
In our city there is but little to do but record the fluctua
tions in the price. which to-day rose to 167. Government
securities continue arm, and the new ten-fnty five-per
cent. loan is being taken in fair amounts. The national
banks and the agent of the 'five-twenty lean are autho
rized to receive frabeeriptions. The money market non

The stock market ruled feverish and irregular, the
fancies and many of the new coal and oil comma'ss
being stilt much depressed. We shall be very glad to see
the dividend-paying term arrive, so that the pnblic can
determine between the true and the false. We should be
going as far astray by donouneing all the new COMDR.

criminately. By slaughtering stocks, the public may be
rid of them, but when very promising investments, con

the people, a little confidence in the company would
save a large amount of capital to the investors.

it has been decided to receive the new 10 4D United
States bonds as security for the circulation of the na
tional banks. Ast the 5-20 bonds are now worth in the
market a large premium. and as the new 10 40 bonds cam
be procured on subscription at par. a slight difference is
made in th e rate at which these two securities are re•
cei'ted by the Waking DePtilinent as the basis of circa
lation. The Comptroller of the Currency. sometime ago,
fixed the rate at which 5 20s are depotlted for circulation
at 90 cents on the dollar, and he has inst decided to re
csive the 10-40 s at 1734 cents on the par. This decision
will stand at present as the rule, unless Congress shall
Prescribe some other.

t The Senate of New Jersey has decided. by a vote of
seventeen to nine, to allow the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company to continue its supreme authority
over that State. The action was on a resolution pro

the Camden and Amboy monopoly. The bill before Con
gress simply declares that the Camden and Atlantic Rail
road and the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad shall
be lawful structures and public highways of the United
States. with the privilege of carrying the mails. trans
porting troops, munitions of war, and goods, wares, and
merchandise of foreign production. As the two roads
combined form a route between New York and Phila
delphia, it is very plain to be seen to what extent the
shoe will pinch the Camden and Amboy Company,
There is no doubt that Congress, - without being in the
least intimidated by the action of the New Jersey Legis
lature. will pars the law, and test its authority to do so
afterfeards before the United States courts.
