FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 18134..
Sir We can take no notice of anonymous commm
isteations. We do not return rejected manuscripts.
Sir Voluntary eorrespondenee is solicited from all
parts of the world, and especially from our different
military and naval departments. When used, it will
.be paid for.
The Grade of Colored Troops.
We have repeatedly insisted upon the un
just treatment the colored troops in the ser
vice of the Union have received. We again
insist upon it, because it is not a subject
that can be neglected without serious injury
to our armies. It is useless now to argue of
the propriety of employing black regiments,
or to present proof of their bravery and
value. These questions are settled. We
presume there are now over fifty thousand
colored soldiers in our armies, of whom the
greater number were enlisted in the North.
It is evident that the just claims of so large
a body of men cannot be wisely neglected,
leaving the higher principles of right en
tirely out of the question.
The pay of a colored soldier is but ten
dollars a month. For this sun. he is ex
pected to do precisely the work which a
white soldier performs at thirteen dollars.
He wears the uniform of a white soldier,
fights with him under one flag, and defends
one cause. Except in pay and rank,
there is no distinction made between a white
regiment and a black one. But it is noto
rious that the dangers which confront the
colored volunteer are unusual and extraor
dinary. By the legislation of the rebel
Congress be is forbidden to hope for liberty
by any cartel of exchange if captured, and
by barbaric precedents is almost certain of
a clue death if the fortunes of war should
give his life into the bands of his enemies.
The colored man is, therefore, discouraged
from enlisting by the assurance that his risk
will be far greater, his reward something
less, than that of a white volunteer.
Nor does the evil end here. The blacks
in our army are outlawed by the enemy,
and treated as inferiors by our own Govern
ment, which thus affords some pretext, at
least, to the rebel argument. It should be
clearly understood, at this point, that the
absolute difference between the colored and
the white races has nothing to do with the
distinction between the two classes of
troops. The average black man may be, in
capacity and in condition, vastly the inferi
or of the average white man, but as a fight
ing soldier he may still be his equal. Nay,
we may even admit that he is decidedly in
ferior as a soldier, without weakening an
argument which is based not upon relative
differences but upon positive principles.
We all agree that the black regiments fight
well, that they obey orders, that they are
inspired with a pure love of the country,
and a deadly hate of the rebellion. These
absolute equalities admitted, it ought to be
evident that, from a military point of view,
there is no reason why colored soldiers
should be considered an inferior branch of
the army. But, so omg as they are paid
less than the average rates, they are neces
sarily in the position of inferiors, and must s ,
bitterly feel the disproportion between their
dangers, their servicea, and their military
grade.
We do not suppose a case. The fact is
established that the free black men enlisted
in the Northern States are not satisfied
with their treatment. The 54th Massachu
- etts Regiment is, we believe, the first
raised in the North, and was organized in
the spring of 1563, by the authority of the
Secretary of War. Its members enlisted
- with the expectation of receiving the ordi
nary pay. They have never been offered
more than $lO per month, and this they
have steadily refused. Not a man of them
has received one cent for the great service
they have rendered; for to maintain , a
principle they have been willing to sacrifice
their entire pay. It is clear that these men
do not quarrel with the Government about
a paltry pittance of three dollars more or
less ; they merely refuse to be underpaid ;
and we ask every candid man if thirteen
dollars a month is too much for the men
who followed Colonel SHAW through
deadly fire over the walls of Fort
Wagner ; or, if it is improper for such
heroes, nameless and obscuie though they
be, to stand on their dignity with the
great Government of the - United States ?
Nor have they resisted the United States
paymaster alone. Massachusetts offered to
make good the deficiency in pay, and they
refused upon the ground that they wanted
no generosity from a State, but only justice
from the country. This is not false pride.
'The 54th Massachusetts fights as well with
out pay as it could with it. At Olustee, it
-covered the retreat of the army, and djd it
'well, opposing the enemy with fixed bayo
nets after its ammunition was exhausted. It
will fight as well hereafter. Evidently,
though the colored regiments are dissatisfied
with their inferior position, they are not
dissatisfied with the war and the great cause
they defend.
In the consideration of this question the
future must not be forgotten. Black regi
ments must inevitably form a large part of
the standing army which, even after the war
is ended, the nation will be forced to main
tain.
British Politica.
A few days ago we speculated upon the
improbability of the Palmerston Adminis
tration being broken up by any hostile ac
tion on the part of the Tory Opposition.
Later news from England confirms our be:
lief. -We have already glanced at the par
tial reconstruction of the Ministry, arising
out of the retirement of the Duke of New
castle from the Colonial Secretaryship, but
this, though it places such an experienced
statesman as the Earl of Clarendon in the
Cabinet, is of inferior importance, when
compared with the successful results of Mr.
GianstroxE's financial management.
Mr. GLADSTONE is a man of great ability,
but with such an unconqueranle frailty of
temper that his colleagues, who just tole
rate him, as an equal, for his talents, would
never submit to act as subordinates. In the
languege of the road, he is a _tolerable
wheeler, but try him as a leader, and he
-would be sure to take the bit between his
teeth, and hurry on, out of the track, into
all sorts of dangerous ways and bye-ways.
There is such a traditionary dislike among
British politicians to the leadership of any
person except he be connected in blood with
the aristocracy that, In the last one hundred
and fifty years, (precisely the period that
the present royal family have been uvon the
British throne,) only four men, unconnected
with the nobility, have occupied the posi
tion of Prime Minister. These are EosERT
WALPOLE, .son of a Norfolk squire, and
finally Earl of (iord; .HENRY ADDINGTON,
.(afterwards Viscount idmouth) son of a
country doctor; GEORGE CANNING, whose
father was a briefiess barristm: and his mo
ther an actress; and RurtenT Pant, son of a
cotton spinner, but rising with one foot on
the ladder of aristocracy, as he succeeded to
a baronetcy. WILLI .st PITT and his son
-sere also Premiers—but the first was ne
phew of an Irish earl, and grandson of
Thomas PITT, Governor of Madras, who
brought the famous Pitt diamond from
India, and sold-it to the King of France for
$075,000, Onertrats Loam Fox and SPEW
curt PEnciver. also were Prime Ministers—
but Fox's father was Lord HOLLAND, and
PERCIVAL was the Earl of' Egmont's second
eon_ WALPOLE was twenty-three years at
the head of affairs, ADDINGTON less than
three, CANNING only four months, and PEEL
six years. That is, in the last one hundred
and fifty years, England has been ruled du
ring only thirty-two years by men directly
sprung from the people. Mr. GLADSTONE,
then, as the roof a merchant, who rose to
wealth from the humbleat position, would
:have some difficulty as Premier, if ever-ap
pointed to that position. His captious tem
per would seem to increase that difficulty.

PEEL'S studied politeness, (even to his op
ponents,) and is the apparently natural bon
homie of pleasant PALMERSTON!
CLADSTONeti financial success is the
bower anchor of the Palmerston Adenizda
_
Mt:on Reduced taxation in /Mt yet a
diminished expenditure of $5,000,000 during
the last twelvemonth—an actual surplus
now of more than $11,150,000, and an esti
mated furthur surplus of $12,500,000 for the
year 1884. This to be followed by reduced
taxation ; the duty on income, corn, and
sugar to be diminished, and the much
complained-of duty on insurance (which is
a tax upon prudence) also to be cut down.
When the Financial Minister has such
Budget as this, depend on it that it will not
be easy to overthrow the' Government.
As to the recent changes in the Palmer
ston Cabinet, they are as follow : 11l health
has compelled the Duke of Newcastle to
resign the Colonial Secretaryship. This
nobleman, who accompanied the Prince
of Wales in his visit to this country in
1860, was then so deeply impressed with
the greatness and resources of the United
States that he told the writer of these
lines that he was confident the Prince, if
he bad a voice in the determination, never
could sanction any British action inimical
to this country, which had so nobly wel
comed and treated him. The new Colonial
Secretary is Mr. EDWARD CARDWELL,
whose father was a wealthy merchant in
Liverpool. Mr. CARDWELL is fifty-one
years old, took a "double first-class" de
gree at Oxford, (like PEEL and GLAD
STONE,) held office under PEEL for eighteen
months, was one of Lord ABERDEEN'S
Cabinet, became Secretary for Ireland in
June, 1859, held that office for over two
years, and has lately been in PALMERSTON'S
Cabinet, as Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, an almost sinecure office. He
it was who, in July, 1857, was the success
ful opponent of Mr. THACKER - AT for the
representation of the city of Oxford. He is
a man of considerable administrative power,
a fluent speaker, and has never committed
himself, in or out of Parliament, by a word
of hostility to the great Union cause of this
country.
The Earl of Clarendon, now sixty-four
years old, takes the office vacated by Mr.
CARDWELL'S promotion. He is elder
brother of Mr. C. P. VILLIERS, also one of
the Palmerston Cabinet. Lord CLAEEE
non., a man of great ability and judgment,
has successively been a Custom-house offi
cer in Ireland, Ambassador to Madrid, a
member of the Melbourne Cabinet, Presi
dent of the Board of Trade during Rus-
SELL'S reign, Viceroy of Ireland during and
after the O'BRIEN and MEAGHER manifesta
tions, Foreign Secretary in Lord ABER
DEEN'S Cabinet, and also in Lord PAL:
MERSTON'S, and declined office, still under
PALMERSTON, when offered .it in 1859.
Lord CLARENDON is friendly to this country.
I Placing CARDWELL in a position where his
great business ability can come into play,
and also introducing CLARENDON into the
Palmerston Cabinet, must be felt as a heavy
blow to the Tory opposition and makes the
prospect of breaking up the present Gov.ern
ment far more difficult than it previously
had been.
Tnn HOUSE seems to be hard at work
with the tax bill. It could not be better em
ployed. The system of internal revenue
which it is asked to establish will produce,
it is estimated, two hundreds of millions
of dollars ; as amended it will probably
produce something less. There never yet
was a tax bill, we believe, which passed
through Congress without being shorn of a
part of its efficiency ; and the present bill,
which is intended to produce an unusually
large revenue to meet extraordinary ex
penses, must necessarily be resisted by many
interests. Those who are enamored of "the
charms of cheap whisky," a phrase which
we owe to Mr. GRINN FCLL, will rejoice
in the strenuous efforts that are made
in the behalf of the distilleries, Whisky
should be fairly taxed. The demand for it
was never so great as now, and the manu
facture is well able to yield a heavy per
tentage. Every important section of the
bill will meet with decided opposition in its
turn ; but we trust the House will be firm,
and frame a thorough system, which will
reduce the difference between revenue and
expenses to an approximation of economy.
Its duty is clear. A. heavy burden must be
placed upon the country for its own good.
The light taxes we now pay are out of all
proportion to our ability.
THE COMMITTEE OF DEFENCE AND PRO
TECTION, in Select Council, have furnished
a very interesting report in regard to the
quota of Philadelphia, and we are glad to
say that the gentlemen entrusted with the
examination of the subject appear to have
done their work well. The quota, under all
calls of 1863 and 1864, is reduced to 19,083.
Though it is believed that the city has fur
nished more than this number of men, it is
stated that the possibility of a draft yet
exists. Certain wards have furnished an
excess of their quotas ; others are deficient.
The committee very justly suggest that the
transfer of the excesses to the credit of the
deficient wards will prevent a draft, and we
trust it is not necessary to urge such action
upon the ward bounty committees.
MILK FROM "OCCASIONAL"
WasnrsaTori, April 21,1864,
One of those opportunities rarely pre
sented to parties is now presented to the
" Democratic " leaders. I allude to the
bill or joint resolution providing for the
amendment of the Federal Constitution, by
which slavery shall be forever abolished
in the United States. It has passed
the Senate by the requisite majority of
two-thirds, and is now on the Speaker's
table in the House of Representa
tives. The vote on the passage of this
bill in the senate was a marked one. Bight
Senators, most of - whom have voted with
the Democratic party for years, and all of
whom have acted with the South in former
conflicts, gave the measure an earnest sup
port, These are John Conness of California,
Wm. Sprague of Rhode Island, John B.
Henderson of Missouri, Reverdy Johnson
of 'Maryland, J. W. Nesmith and B. F.
Harding of Oregon, and P. G. Van Winkle
and W. T. Wiley of West Virginia. To
show how effective these votes were in
securing the necessary two-thirds in the
Senate, I will repeat the yeas and nays on
the final passage of the joint resolution, on
Friday, the Bth of April

As it required two-thirds of a fiall Senate,
including the seceded States, these eight
votes - withheld or thrown among the nays
would have defeated the proposition. I
have already referred to the splendid argu
ment of Reverdy Johnson on this subject.
What Senator Willey said, and what John
Conness said, was not less decided. Sena
tor Henderson, a leading Douglas Demo
crat in his State, in his speech made some
very valuable observations. Read, for in
2tance, the following:
"It is sometimes said the -Republican party is
dead, and the Democracy can restore peace to the
country by bringing back the old regims. As an or
ganization the Republican party may be dead, but
ihe principle of antislavery is not dead. A deep
conviction of the injustice and in/policy of slavery
yet lives. The conviction now stronger than ever.
It has been made so by the many erimee recently
committed in the name of the institution. In my,
tonest judgment, Mr. President, slavery and, rebel
lion, by the nation of parties, by the ormrse of event&
wideh none of us can now control, have become so
closely and intimately allied that they must share
the same fate. If the rebellion succeeds, slavery
for many years may be g cherished institution in
the math. lilt fails, the rebels; themselves will be
'mind too honorable to saes its continuance. If my
position, thee, be correct, the following propositions
are true : first, slavery, being detrimental to public
and private interests, antirepublican in its tendon
eke, and subversive of good government, should now
be abolished; second, the Constitution, as it now
stand., confers upon Congress no power to abolish
it; and third, to attain the ends which are so omen
OM to the establishment and maintenance' of peace,
a change in the Constitution, the peaceful and ef
fective Made Of
governmental reform wisely pro.

new Millet us, mid for utilizing the experience of
history as developed in national progress, should at
Once be Made.

" Our ancestors acknowledged the truth when they
proclaimed the inalienable right of liberty note alt
men. That declaration gave them liberty. - It tired
the world, and enlisted the sympathies of civiliza
tion. So soon as they obtained it for themselves,
however, the fake counsels of expediency came to
tame it to others. When the test of practical go•
vernment was to be applied, they Were content to
declare in the preamble of the 00netnittiOn one of
_ -
Ite objects to be ito secure the blessings of libertyp
to themselves and their posterity. In the body of
the instrument the liberty of the African is not se
cured. His return to slavery is enjoined. Io this
contradiction is the element of strife. Truth and
error 'cannot be reconciled. Right and wrong can
not dwell together in peace. The effort to reconcile
antagonisms was vain. It ,first brought political
convulsion.; it then brought war. In the kingdom
of nature volcanic disturbances follow the union of
fire and combustible material. From IreflOUS causes
the disturbances may be unfelt for many years, but
eventually they return, and cease not till the mate
rial consumed. This thing of slavery is a heresy.
The lire of truth is upon it, and the moral world
will be convulsed until it is consumed. The strong
desire for peace may induce some new concession in
its favor. This might smother the dames for a few
years. Such peace would not be permanent. In
Process 01 time Our cities would again be blasted by
its uph
burning lava."
eavbell our fields again scorched by its
But if the eight Senators named threw
their great weight on the side of Liberty,
look at the others, who are classed as Re
publicans, and who voted with them. Here
in honest Democrats may see, as in a mir
ror, the faithful reflection of their own
honest and too often suppressed feelings,
and the encouragement to follow these feel
ings for the sake of the country. Gratz
Brown, James R. Doolittle, Jas. H. Lane,
Lot M. Morrill, gave many of the beet
years of their lives to the Democratic
party, and Vice President Hamlin, who does
not vote unless his vote is necessary to de
cide a question, severed his connection with
the Democratic organization only a few
months before Mr. Buchanan's nomination
for President. Note, also, that the Sena
tors from Kentucky and Delaware give the
only votes from slave States against the
amendment, and that but two from
the free States follow their example.
These are very significant indications.
Let us now see how they will ope
rate upon the Democrats in the House,
- where the joint resolution to abolish slavery
in the Way pointed out by the Constitution
is now pending. If an equal proportion of
Democrats in that body will do as the ma
jority of the Democrats of the Senate did
on the Bth instant, the work is more than
half accomplished. All that remains to
make it thorough and complete is for the
Legislatures of three fourths of the States
to ratify . what Congress has done. SO
you see this great measure of tranquil
lity—this drastic remedy for a disease
that has corrupted our whole system,
and brought the Republic almost to its
death—is at the dispositson, of the Demo
crats of the House. If a sufficient num
ber of these Representatives vote for it, the
Legislatures of the States will naturally
confirm s the action of Congress. Even now
we can count two-thirds of these Legisla
tures on the right side ; and, if the patriotic
Democrats give us their aid, the necessary
three-fourths will be surely secured. The
arguments operating on such minds should
be irresistible. We have been told that there
is no right to abolish slavery under the war
power, or under the legislative power. We
have been reminded that the exercise of
these powers was a violatiim of the Consti
tution. Such has been, and still is, the logic
of the Democratic press and the Democratic
leaders. A constitutional plan is now pre
sented. Will it receive the support of these
champions of the Constitution ? Should it
prevail, the agitation of the slavery question
will die out—it may be gradually, but per
manently and forever. The amendment of
the Federal Constitution, recommended by
the Senate, and now before the House, has
been supported by some of the leading Op
position papers of the country, among
them the New York Herald itself.
It is for the truly loyal men of the old
Democracy to encourage their Representa
tives in the House to do right on this ques
tion. There are, I believe, a number of
Democrats in the body who would gladly
give the amendment their support, if they
felt that they could be sustained by the
home politicians. Why, then, should they
not be allowed to obey the dictates of their
consciences ? OccAsioNAL.
WASHINGTON
Waxiinneurerr, April 21, leig.
The Telegraph to Russia.
The efforts of Mr. Coradars to enlist members of
Congress and other prominent parties in his great
enterprise of a telegraphic connection between Eu
rope and America, are, we understand, meeting with
encouraging succegs. This subject has previously
received the attention of Congress, in which body,
it will be recollected, two very favorable reports
were made three years ago, one by Senator Le-
TEAM, of California, the other by Mr. JOHN COOK.
RANE, of New York.
Since the date of those reports Mr. Corr.rus has
spent a large portion of the intervening time in
pushing his enterprise, mainly in Europe, where he
has succeeded in not only interesting a considerable
portion of the mercantile community in his project,
but in enlisting the patronage of Governments also.
The fact of the valuable concessions made to him
by England and Russia, of the right of way through
their dominions in the northwestern portion of this
continent, has already been made public. These
concessions are valuable as indicating the favor
with which the enterprise is looked upon in other
countries. They are valuable, also, in another point
of view, for they offer such inducements to Capital
ists as will, it is believed, insure the speedy comple
tion of the overland line to St. Petersburg and
London with a very moderate degree of encourage
ment from the United States Government.
The enterprise of Mr. CoLiana is thoroughly
American in conception, and is to be owned and con•
trolled by American capital. For these reasons
alone, therefore, it would seem to have peculiar
claims upon the attention of the American public,
as well as upon the favor of the Government.
A large portion of the Russian line, with which
the wires of Mr. Commis are to connect, is already
finished, and the work is now being rapidly pushed
on at both ends, namely, from Irkoutsh, in Eastern
Siberia, to which point the wires are already work
ing from St. Petersburg, a distance of four thousand
miles, and from the Amoor westwardly to meet the
Siberian wires.
The parties who have undertaken the construe.
tlon of Mr. COLLINS' portion of the line, that is,
the connecting link between Europe and America,
via Beltring , s straits, are gentlemen of experience
in telegraph matters. It was their enterprise which,
taking hold of the Pacific line at a time when all
other men shrunk from it, and, enlisting the sym
pathies of the Government in its behalf, carried it
through to a succenful ending, in spite of the warn
ings of friends as well as eapitaliats to let it alone.
The fact that these eminently practical as well as
energetic individuals have _ put their shoulders to
the enterprise of Mr. COLLINS, is an assurance that
thr project will eventually be accomplished. Bat as
the work le eminently national in its scope, and as,
moreover, much time must necessarily be consumed
in its conatiuolion before any returns can be made
for the vast outlays its proprietors muss submit to,
it would seem that Government ought to and in the
enterprise a case eminently worthy of its fostering
pstionage. The small subsidy allowed the line to
the Pacific has, we are told, been paid back, over
and over again, every year, through the facilities of
the line enjoyed by Government in its correspon
dence with its Pacific posts. Similar facilities, only
quadrupled in value, will be the result of the com
pletion of the Russa&merioan line.
To all undertakings of this nature, to Viet in its
proportiona l and so
tall of promise to the welfare
and progress of the country, Government will but
Dhow a prudent regard to the future, as well as a
generous Spirit, in extending a helping hand. Rus
sia and Great Britain, in granting the right of way
through their territories, beside according other
valuable privileges, for the purpose of encouraging
the enterprise, have therein set an example which
our Government, it is to be hoped, will not hesitate
to follow.
Grant, Stanton, and nalleck.
A distinguished officer writes as fellows: "I am
not surprised that thinking men begin to regret the
loss of General neznlconks diraetien of military
operations. I have, however, great conadence in
General GRANT. He is a true man, an honest mot.
dier, possesses excellent judgment, and has great
tenacity of purpose. His coming campaign in Vir
ginie, lam satisfied, will add to his laurels. The
absurd newspaper stories of dtaagreement between
STANTON, and Ham.sorr, are all bosh, and
have not even the slightest foundation of truth.
The very best feeling subsists between all three.
Her.a.aex, a sincere patriot, has not a jealous
thought or feeling in his nature. He cares too little
for public opinion to be envious of any favorite,
and he aids ()RANT in every way in his power, both
by his untiring industry in carrying out all details
and his military and administrative talents. No
efforts on the part of any press can shake the perfect
accord and mutual esteem of these two officers.
H.a.rt.eorr, you know, while in command, gave
GRANT very Substantial proofs of friendship, and
these have not been forgotten. As to STANTON, I
do not have such good opportunitiee for speaking
from personal knowledge, but I have the highest
reason to believe that he stands to GRANT as HAL
LIM does, in just the same relations of friendship,
assistance, and esteem."
A Protest from General Butler.
General BUTLan is said to have written a brisk
letter to a prominent administrative officer, winch
he sonclUdea as follows: "If the arrangement pro.
posed be carried out, it would have the erect of
waking me a mere recording secretary for the will
of Major General W. F. Smivr, who would be the

Mr. Greeley's Case.
From the Sew York World. kora 21 3
In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday
morning, the proceedings Game up growing out of
the order issued by Judge Barnard on last Friday,
rfquiring Horace Greeley to show cause why he
shown not be punished for contempt of court in
publishing an article beaded "A Judicial Outrage."
in which a " bide and malicious" report is given
corcerning the withdrawal of a juror in the Nixon
suit. The courtroom was crowded.
Judge Barnard called up the base, and inquired
what disposition would be made of it. District At.
lurneY A Oakley Eiall then tead the return of Sheriff'
Lynch, certifying to the fact that the order was
served on Mr. Greeley.
The clerk of the court then called " Horace Gree
ley."
Mr. J. T. Williams, Mr. Greeleyas counsel, rose,
and moved to set aside the motion, objecting, as fol
lows, to the jurisdiction obtained in the case:
I have waft inquiries, and do not fled that any
affidavit was made showing that Mr. Greeley was
either the editor or proprietor of the - paper called
the Tribune, nor do I Nee any affidavit at all; and
there are some points of the case which I think
quite as material, but which I presume my learned
mend, the District Attorney, will not think the
court could take judicial notice of. I submit to your
Honor bow far it may be competent for the court
to take proceedings for punishment of a contempt
of court. It is not a case in which the matter oc
curred in presence of the court, and which could be
taken jndicial notice of under that theory. The
court also could certainly not take judicial notice
that any person was the editor and proprietor of the
New York Tribune. I think it right, your Honor,
to moat respectfully submit these points concerning
the order of the court, as in this as in any other
order based upon insufficient affidavits or no affida.
vita at all, I suppose I could move to discharge this
order. If this were a civil proceeding it would be
quite proper to set aside the order for insufficient
affidavits. If it were a espies, order for attachment
or arrest, it might be set aside for want of sufficient
aiidavlts; but here Is a case where there are, so far
as I am informed, no affidavits touching either of
the facts which are recited in the order.
An order was given in accordance with' a decision
by Judge Barnard, that interrogatories be flied and
propounded to Horace Greeley, and that he be di.
rented to return hie dowers on Monday next. Thus
or der does not require the premence of Mr. Greeley
in court on Monday.
A Montrmarvr AT Vicsenuno.—General Lorenzo
Thomas has arranged a new visit to Vickiburg, in
Connection with Major General McPherson, to erect
a monument to General Grant, in commemoration
of the siege of Vicksburg. The monument is a
layramid, twenty feet high, surmounted with a tlf-
Men•inch globe. On the principal side is a large
' American eagle, with out spread wings, which cover
implements of defence; in one claw It holds the
laurel, and In the other an American shield. and in
its ?beak a pennant, inscribed, " E Phantom 'Ciium."
The eagle sustains on its Wings the Goddess of Li.
berty. On one side of the monument is inscribed,
"To the Memory of the Surrender of Vicksburg,
by Lieutenant General J. C. Pemberton, to Major
General U. S. Grant, U. S. A., on the 4th of July,
1863." On the other side, " Site of the interview
between Major General U. S. Grant, U. S. A , and
Lieutenant General S. 0. Pemberton, on the 3d of
July, 1863." The monument was chiseled from the
best Italian marble, by the designer, rdendelin
Meyer, first lieutenant Company E, lit Missouri
Artillery, lit Division of the 17th Army Corps.
THE Southern rebels, as well as some folks in the
North, are fond of shaking their heads in view of

That is true enough. But do these people ever

Lee, it is equally true that Lee has never met Grant ?

TEN Granule OPERA.—" Der Freischutz,” given
last evening, with Madame Frederici and
belmann in the principal characters, vise wilanued
by a hill house, and with the approbation which
this favorite and admirable opera is always cure to
call forth. Madame Frederica was a very °apron
dive Agathe, and the Antichen of that pretty and
petite young lady, Fraulein *Demists, was full of vi
vacity. Habelmann sang with excellent power and
sweetness, and the chorus could not be otherwise
than good in the well-known hunting song.
The hundreds who were unable to obtain seat/ on
Wednesday may hear "Faust" to-night, by the ex
ertion of a little enterprise. Mr. Himmer in this
opera clogs with an earnettnees and power which
we cannot too highly commend, and Madame Frede
riot Ends in it one of her greatest successes. To the
scenic and dramatic effects of "Faust" much of its
remarkable popularity is due, for ft in a fact that
that opera obtains the more general admiration
which can also be enjoyed as a play. The merely
musical interest of " Eidelio" has always interfered
with Be popular swam; not that Beethoven did not
thoroughly develop the dramatie element of the
story, for such an idea the gravedigging duet and
the prisoners', choruses would deny, but that he
could not descend to those Woks of the trade which
Neyerbeer and Gounod so frequently employ.
"Faust," however, Is not a superfleial work. Be.
cause music is popular it does not always follow
that it is meretricious.
TERESA OAREBNO'I3 first grand concert in thhi
CRY took place last evening. This young artiste,
though a mere child, plays with remarkable power
and brilliancy, and renders the difficult compositions
of Thalberg and Lizst with a bold and vigorous
hand. Her performance justifies' the high praise
which has been conferred upon her elsewhere, and
we doubt not that she will be appreciated by the
musical public of Philadelphia. The young lady is
assisted by a company of excellent vocalists. Her
second concert will be given this evening, at
rival Fund Hall, and we hope that a full house will
be in attendance.

Miss Dickinson on ca larcoustruction.”
East evening Miss Anna E tficklnson, the ever

of her country, delivered her new lesture on "He

n'" r always the tthaAeadem ea y se o , f a: f ela nte b ll . cad
appreciative one, who listened with attention ant
approved her theories with dissriminatin.g applause.
The building was by no means so crowded as on
former occasions, yet it wit complimentary; espe
cially when we remember how many times she has
already spoken at the same place slime the com
mencement of the war. Her criticisms of the admi
nistration of General Hanks, and what she termed
bin Westin to the blacks, Were boldly spoken, and
r views of reconstruction, as opposed to those
held by the leading statesmen of the country, were
received with thoughtful attention.
The fair speaker was introduced by Mr. Wm. S. '
Pierce, who, in performing that ceremony, remarked
that when he first presented Misa-Hickinson to a
Philadelphia audience it was at the outbreak of the
rebellion. lie then predicted that she would prove
herself the Joan of Aro or the Maid of Saragossa of
this war. He did not regret making that prediction,
for miss Dickinson's name was now respected
among all the loyal people of the North as being
that of a true friend of freedom and national union.
bliss Dickinson spoke as follows:
Eighty-nine years ago commencedour Revolution
for independence and the rights of man. Eighty
nine years ago the shot that echoed round the world
was fired on Concord Bridge. Eighty.ntne years ago
began the struggle for life. liberty. and the pursuit
of bappinesr. for the overthrow of tyranny, and the
establishment of freedom throughout the land. It
Was a Conteat, the simple record of which; draws
children from their play, and stirs up the hearts of
our men captive thrill or patriotic ardor. The con.
twit was sustained by great hearts and noble souls,
by high thoughts and willing eelesaaridee, earnest
devotion and eager martyrdom ; contest streititled
by the prayrrs of a nation. But, great Caine, so
majestic in thy beginning, why didst thou so tho
roughly fail in thy closet For the contest, declared
to be for all men, was then announced to be for the
white man only. Our fine was made a protection to
those who dealt in the bodies and souls of men.
The irestalt was an ineompleteness„ and, after mann
years of war for justice, we did a stupendous wrong
for the sake of peace, and oppressed the pure. and
weakest of God's children. after we had ourselves
throWn off the yoke of bondage. II was for this
reason that April 19, . 1776, had to be repeated On
April 19, 1851. it was necessary that as m a s aise au•
matte was the first, to go into the war of the Revolt'.
Son, so she was the first to go into the war for the
putting down of the rebellion. Massachusetts spilled
the first blood on the free soil of the North, and she
spilled the first blood on the slave soil of the South,
and when that blood was flowing over her feet she
said that it should wash away the rains of slavery.
[Cheers.] As in Italy,the tidos of guns is employed
to bring deed bodies e. the surface of the water. so
here, the firing of guns had brougnt our peculiar(
ties to the surface. The voice of the people is the
voice of God indeed. now quick and willing
were we at the beginning of the war to do all
at d sniffer sill for the Union—how ready Were tee
to dare and die, and yet bow little, even then,
in the midst of this magnificent uprising—how
little did we understand upon what we were enter
ing;! The call for 75.000 men for three months, the
ploolamation to the insurgents to retire to their re
spective abodes and be good citizens '
the decla
ration of our wise Secretary of State that we ex
pected to reduce the rebellion in a few months, the
men going down to the war as if on a holiday sport,
the sentiment constantly expressed that the war
Would soon be over, showed how little we under
stood what we were about. While we wrote procla
mations the rebel made cartridges ; and not till
the smoke of battle arose, and not tilt that most pro
vidential of battles, Bull Run, occurred, did we see
that we were In a great contest, Yet we did not
learn all. While we ascended from height to height
Of Wealth, and power, Cod pride, while we ate our
bread. and drank our wine in prosperity, there was
another race in our midst who continued to be kept
in bondage. What did these people dot They sat
alone in the darkness, and, clanking their chains,
God heard them, and answered them at last. It
was a grand lesson, and grandly out. Day by day,
and month by month, as the smoke of battle grew
thicker and thicker, our moral sense has peen
trying to keep pace with events, and at last it has
demanded the elevation of the country to the dig
nity and duty of moral law. William of Orange
carried upon his banner, "I come;" and he dame to
reinstate the Protestant religion. So our army have
stamped upon their banners "we come." We come
to establish justice and secure the liberties of Ame
rica. [Applause ] Two days ago we completed
three years of the warfare To.day we count our
great battles by scores. We stand on a hundred
thousand graves, and there are gathered about us a
hundred thousand maimed and shattered men. We
talk of reconstruction with these feats before us.
We talk of reconstruction with a half a million of
rebels in arms. It is but a new name for comer.).
mime. [Applause.] Atter all, would it not be just
as well for us to subdue ere we reconatruett Co.
day we have a fresh demand for 200,000 Mtn un
filled, and a draft impending. Richmond is secure
to the rebels, and we can give no assistance to our
brave prisoners there confined. We began our Bpring
campaign full of hope ; but the battles thus far have
ended in disaster. In the West you cannot pick up
a newspaper without reading of the outrages of the
rebel guerillas, and their gnomes. Four hundred
Union soldiers have been murdered in cold blood,
and the bodies of three-fourths of them were gather
ed in a heap, and burned together. Is this the time,
she would ask, to talk of reconstruction—or for
otters of amnesty and pardon to such fiends? [Ap
plause.] EShe did not sayjthese things to disheat ten.
Site would rather encourage, and keep up the hopes
of the people. Fast save the country, and teen
talk about reconstruction. • Let us leave
oft State-making, and President-making', and
go to work in earnest in our effort to
crush the rebellion. Amnesty is only at the
mouth of the cannon. [Cheers ] One great danger
is passed, and that is, we have found out what the
rebellion is. Freedom never can be too strong;
slavery never too weak. Generosity to oppression is
treason to man and to God. Our nation, to be rebuilt,
must be reconstructed on a firm basis. Men who de
Mare that tae Union shall be reconstructed on its old
basis, who would have the Union as it was, are un
worthy of a patient hearing. When you can put up
the buildings that have been destroyed, when you
can replace the villages and towns destroyed by the
war, when you can call into life the one hundred
and fifty thousand brave end mouldering forms
to day resting in Southern graves, when you can do
this, and not until then, can you have the Union as
it was. But it was not of that aspect of the recon
struction doctrine that she deeiredto speak. There
is a Union sentiment of the South that is worthy
of being reapectea. If they form the requisite one.
tenth, are they wise and strong enough to balance
ten votes cast by Northern freemen? The leaders of
the rebellion may take the oath of amnesty, but are
they to be trusted Is it just that such perjured
men should stand on a footing with ten times
their number of loyal and good men in the North
You say they sire bound by their oath ; but they
are not to be trusted. Commonsense and common
prudence would tell us that. Who carried Ken.
lucky into disunion The great landholders and
olavermiders. Who carried Louisiana out of the
Union I The landholders and siaveowners. Those
same men, who may still be elaveholderd, may
take the amnesty oath, and the tenth of them have
privileges as full as those possessed by nine-tenths
of loyal men in our loyaiNorth. These are the men
that elected Michael Rahn Governor of Louisiana.
These are the men who co-onerate with Gee. Banks.
in making Louisiana a so-called free State—a free
State in which slaves are not allowed to move about
without a pass from a provost marshal. Tne slaves,
it is true, may choose their own owners; but for
twelve months they cannot designate new owners.
They are thus deprived of that freedom which was
promised them. This is the boasted freedom of the
d ; this is liberty ; this is reconstruction- This is
the working of the proclamation of freedom, and
therefore she could say, without fear or passion,
that the whole conduct of affairs in Louisiana has
been a disgrace to our country and a dishonor to our
name. [Applause.] You say that for tills the Ad
ministration is responsible. It is responsible for the
acts of its officers. It Banks had not been accepts..
ble to those who control him, why has he been re.
tained 7 If the theories of tree-State government as
carried Out by General Banks are not acceptable to
his commander, why has not the work been•undone

preeminently peritonea the trueessenticsisto victo , y,

successor, shall remain the admiration of all time—
Gen. Butler, of Massetheletts—[great applause]—
these men have all been placed in inferior positions,
or entirely ignored. They were removed without
' reason or excuse assigned, and what reason is there
for the retention of such amen as Banks? It seemed
to her as if the whole question of reconstruction
might be summed up in this, that they are either
States or they are not States. If they are States,
you have no more right to interfere in reconstruct
ing them than you have to reconstruct the States of
Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. If they are not
States, they are Territories owned by the
VniteoiStates, to be governed as Territories,
admitted into the Union at the discretion of
Congress. The President, by interfering with
a - part, virtually acknowledges the destruction
of all. The matter has passed from his jurisdiction
to his generals. We cannot afford to retain great
armies of possession, holding certain States at the
°int of the bat oust. It is not just that the people
of the North shbuld carry the weight of the debt of
this war. When this war is ended we shall need
new avenues of wealth to be developed. We must
take the land of the South and develop it. We must
make that soil valuable by working it, and giving it
away to tbose who will make it valuable. [Applause ]
We must plant schools and printing presses
throughout the South. It will pay. You will in
crease tne revenue and develop the wealth of the
country. You will make workers out of eight mil
lions of poor whites se d four millions of poor blacks.
This is no Utopia. You can't have it under the
popular idea of reconstruction. Either the blacks
are to be elevated, or the whites will sink. If the
blacks are to be held as serfs amenable to law with
out the pr,wer to make it, you will have them
destroying everything with which they come in
contact. Ab, she heard somebody say, "You
Would thrust amalgamation on the people of the
South.” No, no ; that would' be reconstruction;
for it is the doctrine in the South during all its ex
istence., So long as a rebel in Congress can rise in
his seat and declare that Secession is right, and
many men support him with their votes, so long
shall we be in danger. It is but a second edition or
an echo of the reconstruction cry. When this war
is ended, there will be many black men who may
remember the nation with gratitude. But it is only
probable. We have done unjustly by our black sol
diers. They were promised bounty, but they never
received it. They were promised fair wager, and
they have not received them. Inittettd, therefore, of
our having 200.000 black, devoted soldiers, we hive
not one-half that number. How could we expect
any other result? The wonder rs that they number
so many. The bravery of the colored troops in bat
tle was next referred to, and especially those in the
Department of the Gulf, who had done such excel
lent service, but who had been so diagragefully
treated For their heroism,
courage, wounds, and
blood spilled in our defence, they have been shame
fully abused. In foot one regiment, which had
nobly fought at Port Hudson, found when pay day
came around that they were indebted to the United
States for clothing and articles which they should
have received as a free gift. You can't end this con.
test by any such work as that. If we do not deal
fairly by the black man we must fail of success. The
fair speaker detailed various instances of individual
bad treatment Of the black troops by white colonels
and petty officers, The black men deserved protect
flop at our hands. We should give it to them. But
we do not give it to them by this plan of reconstruc
tion. These may be unpleasant things to be told.
They are unpleasant, but they must be told. Now
fa the time to say these things. Now, while We are
strong enough to prove that we can bear criticism..
These things are not flattering, but they are true.
She did not come to dentate a lecture composed of
either flattering or unpleasant things. She merely
pleaded tor those Who had not the tongues to speak
for themselves. She did not advoeate any parson
-Ist man for the Presidency- She desired to speak
the truth for the benefit of the whole bureau
race. The black man is our brother. He is entitled
to our sympathy and support, instead of stripes and
shame. In the presence' of the dead past ; for the
make of the brave hearts sleeping in honored graves ;
for the sake of unborn millions ,• for the sake of God,
who stands within the shadow, keeping watch above
his own, Oh, America! 10h my people! sea to it

ilHarwoulsr FRArnualsr never forgets any party
at which Madame Helvetius Is present. He believes
if he bad engaged to go to Paradise this morning, he
would beg permission to remain on earth until half
past one, in order to receive the embrace which she
was good enough to promise him if she should meet
him at Mr. TutgoVe." One reason why Madame
Helvetins was pleased with the Castor was because
of the fine suit of clothes which he purchased of
Mr. Stokes, an ancestor of Charles Stokes, the cele.
brated Clothier under the Continental, Philadelphia.
WHO MADE COLONEL Demr.ortirs's AvairlOlAL
Lao 'I—To the Editor of The Press-Sir: My at
tention has just been Called to a statement
which appeared in your paper of the 19th March
last, under the beading, " Colonel Dahlgren , s Or
dem" the following statement appears " And ear
rying off his artificial leg, which Was one of Palmer , *
Most beautiful and expensive inventions" The
error, of which I complain, in the above is " one of
Palmer's most beautiful and expensive inventions"
(I) when the truth is, the Inventor and maker of
Colonel Dahlgren , ' artificial leg was B. W. Jewett,
of Washington, D. C., and the limb so described is
just such as he now makes for, and has uniformly
furnished, soldiers with who have lost their limbs in
the service of the Government. Having been
honored by the. Surgeon General of the United
States with orders to make limbs for soldiers at the
seat of Government, where my manufactory now is,
I do not intend to allow credit due me, in my profes
sion, to be taken up by any common absorbent.
B. W. JEWETT,
St. Elizabeth Hospital, Washington, D. 0.
Inventor and ManUfacturer of JeWetPs Improved
Artificial Leg.
