SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1864.
'washion and Speculation.
In a war like this, which engages a conti
nent, it is not a disproportionate fact that
the nation is living on a grand scale. We
raise armies by hundreds of thousands, and
support nearly a million of men under arms.
Oust as we yield such a great product, we
also owe a great sum; for giant power we
have a giant debt. But all this appears to
be in equilibrium, and is in accordance with
the nature and duty of the work before us.
Proportionate results for our expenditures,
the sustainment of our debt within the caps-
city of our atiengtb, and, above 811 1 the
economy and solvency of the people, are
Deeded to keep that balance of means to our
strength, which must be our guarantee for
the future. But we begin to be serious the
moment we have a ground for fear that the
public spirit is tending to waste and extra
vagance. It need hardly be said that we
live in a day of neceseity, arid that luxurious
living above the ordinary measure is en
tirely cut of proportion. Mend sentiment
and good sense forbade 115 to live in such a
way in time of peace—bow much more eco
nomical we should be in time of engrossing
waif let the fashionable prodigality of the
hour, which would scam remarkable at any
period, is extraordinary now. And yet, if
the war has t:ll , ght us any lesson, it should
i wvo tagght us the great one, viz that the
work in which we are engaged needs our
full strength, Measured by this, popular
extravagance means nothing more or less
than that we are taking away what in duty
belongs to the cause, robbing ourselves and
giving to the forsiguers. Extravagance only
enriches our enemies—it is only a name fOr
another foe—but economy and safety are
among ourselves, and at our own homes.
The Laree and Penates are our best friends
always, and now more than ever, 'when we
must think of our lnothers and children aws.y,
and the maimed and wounded who are
brought to our doors. Fashion, set against
this picture, is only another phase of the
spirit of Mephistophiles, who gives his
victim much life at a terrible expense. And
is there not porn danger that, iu forgetting
our h om es, we may forget our country
more ? A convenient neighborhood to
homespun, and good, honest, bread-and
butter, and pennysaving notions, are
certainly better in place and have more
right to our favor titan the ruinous whim
sies which have turned the heads. of
those uncaleulatieg and vain merry
makers who would dance not a whit less
over a powder megazine, were Gov him
self beneath. Gorgeous silks, brilliant dia
monds, magniftient leases, splendid balls—
and 'what is their excess; ? Not that a
grand war involves graad celebrations?
'We can celebrate it cheaply. Fashion, for
fashion's eake, has no apolorzy, and should
have no inclulzenee m Av. It is so much
taken hour pen - lot - tem, and we grudge it for
the sake of the country.
Let us look upon another side of the pic
ture. The Southerners have been main
taining a giant war against our ;ern glean
,
tic forces, which they could not have main
tained with fashion at a blaze, and with
extravagance the fashiom It was only by
melting fashion and riches down into hard,
matter-of-fact force, that the South has
been able to keep its body and - fight our
own. Onward fare grew the strength they
have hurled oftentimes gallantly against us.
It is impossible and it is unnecessary for us
to imitate them ; but their example of stint
and saving should be a lesson to our
prodigal& For another lessee, -we may
lode to our own camps Would it not be
strange if for the eight hundred thousend
- men who live upon ba:11 t...tek, and sutler
all the accidenta and the expo-Aire of war,
supported at a great cost by a I,l;:eding and
distressed country, there were a million of
fine beires who went to the other extreme,
expending more than our seldiers have
bled ? ibis would be out of all prepertion
and decency. Let us ask ourselves it from
this spirit of speculation, which is wedded
to the other spirit of fa - sldon—man and
wife as they invariably appear. befisee 113
we do not sutler some dangers ?
Men matte money fast, it is said, and
spend it fast. If the example is general,
we are living very fast. We can observe
our danger as we note ho ey the hint given
ha those who spend largely is taken up by
those who charge largely. If there is a dis
position to waste among certain classes,
there will be an equal disposition among
dealers to gain. To set off the prodigal we
must have the miser, and the poor must in
variably antler for the extravagance of the
rich. In New "York, lately, even the wo
men were running to the brokers to specu-
late and to lose. Whenever there is a toleri
ble pretext for a, high price, dealers are not
wanting to impose it. Our petty eepenses
do not now advance from one cent to two,
but from five cents to ten. TO guard against
such raids of our novel enemy, we have
heard of anti-butter leagues, ski,o., and just
Such monitors are needed, doubtless, as a
correction to the money-making spirit which
Would make speculation the small demon of
every bargain. If this were the general condi
tion of things it would belittle for us to wake
up and feel our pocket books
For the evils of which we complain, and
Which, perhaps, threaten us still more than
they strike, we have the consolation of
the charitable and magnanimous spirit of
the people manifested in such institutions of
popular pataiotism as the Sanitary Fairs If
we must be extravagant, let us be extrava
gant of alms. But on the other hand, now
that the country's necessity has called for
added taxation, let us reason ourselves to
accommodate the duties and necessities of
the hour and of the future.
The Tax Bill.
The National House of Representatives
has at length fuaished one of the long9st
and most important labors of the session.
It has passed, by an immense majority, the
"bill to provide internal revenue to support
the Government, to pay interest on the pub
lie debt, and for other purposes," more
generally known as the tax bill. The bill,
as originally introduced, consists of one
hundred and seventy-three sections, and
fills a pamphlet of seventy-six closely-print
ed octavo pages. It is a complete revision
of the tax law now in force, and its provi
sions extend to every branch of business,
every kind of property from which revenue
can be obtained, assessing upon each the
portion of national income which it is
thought just and reasonable that it should
contribute.
Of the bill in its amended condition it is al
most:impossible to say more at present than
that the Houselas industriously and rapidly
examined and debated its numerous section;
and, having now acted upon it as a whole,
has turned it over to the consideration of
the Senate.
The bill pasSed the _House by a vote of 102
against 33. Of course, in such a strong
affirmative vote, the names of many repre
sentatives of the Opposition party are to be
found. Three Pennsylvania Democratic
members were among the number—Massrs.
- RANDALL, BAILEY, and Mclituvrau--who
have shown, by their action in this matter,
a manly and prudent disregard of natty ties.
The Senate will, it is to
_be presumed,
speedily consider and pass upon the various
pro - visions of this measure. The members
of that body have given an earnest of
their intention to forward all important na
tional acts, by the promptness with which
they disposed of the tariff resolution on
Tursday.
SPRAnnkro of the offer of one hundred
thousand men to the Government, by the
Governors of the Western States, the New
York Times Inquires :
_ lull the East tonally patriotic and in earnest!
Why do we not hear from the Governors of the
- . astern States! There are important posts here,
Vinci between this city and Washington, which might
just al Wei be gen:lamed by milltia t and thus relieve
largo numbers of veterans for /sea ye service. Is our
m anna proffered to the General Government! We
are glad to krow that one regiment, at least, has
been called out to man our harbor fortifications.
Though as yet we hear no impirlog call from the
GoVernOTS, We know that this State, and all the
Eastern States, are truly in earnest as our West
ern brethren, and, have made, and are prepared to
make, as great luserillats for the country. ,
It is eel - tuba that the Governor of Penn.
sylvania, weeks ago, offered the services of
the militia to the Government, and that th - ey
were declined. It is evident, too, that the
military strength of the Union is now con
centrated in the East, and that reinforce
ment is not necessary here, It is the mass
ing of troops that has exposed Western
Tennessee to rebel raids, and insured" Mary
and from danger. The Western Governors
have acted wisely in calling out troops to
garrison forts of secondary importance,
which are no longer menaced or defended
by great armies, and by doing so have
strengthened the Government. But it floes
not follow that the necessities of the West
should govern the action of the East. At
present it would seem superfluous to call
out cur militia, and we can only admire the
promptness with which the great West has
risen to the full height of a patriotic op
portunity.

Crawford was summoned and appeared Wore the

regard to the battle of Gettysburg. A I . .thatatement
of the operations en the left of our line on the hat
and second days of the battle was made by him, his
testimony clearing up some hitherto rather obscure
points in regard to the operations of that wing. It
will be remembered that by a preMpt and vigorous
engage of general Crawford's division on Thursday
evening, the enemy, who had driven Sickles' corps
and its Supports, and who were advancing upon the
key of our position, were repulsed and driven bank
end the ground retaken, with a large number of
arms. General Crawford's testimony was entirely
in support of General Meade and his orders in re.
geld to this part of the field. He stated that the
ground selected by Sickles to make ills fight, and
tabich was in his (CraWfOrd'S) immediate front,
Glinted almost every advantage to the enemy."

or Ilepretentallves, thin evening, Me. Barger made
an important statement relative to the fifteen regi
ments of Pennsylvania Reserves. These men, he
stated, entered the service of Pennsylvania in ittay,
three years ago, but were not mustered Into the
National service until two months afterward. They
were now greatly dissatisflid, to much so that a
number were under arrest, the men claiming that
their time of service expired in .Blay and the War
meal Government contending that it extended un.

Mr. Barger read an extract frorn a letter from
Colonel McCandless, commanding the division, re
lative to this disiatiefsetton, expressing fears that
the men will refuse to serve after May.
Mr. Barger and Mr. Smith, of Chester, galled
upon Governor Curtin this morning, and the Go-
vernor urged some notion on the part of the Leg's-
Wore to induce the National Government to Com.
ply with the demands of the Reserves.
In accordance with this suggestion, Mr. Barger
offered a resolution urgently ;soliciting the Presi
dent to discharge the Reserves.
To add to the distatisfaction of the men, it is
stated that some of their former comrades who had

Richmond Prioon Experience—Statement
of one of Colonel Dablgren'B Meth
Editors Baltimore American:
/ give you a brief statement of the sufferings of
the raiding pawners that were under command of
Col. Dahlgren and Lieut. Col. Cook. On the raid
to Richmond, after tiding three der, and night.,
only *topping long enough to feed our hedges, We
were ordered to halt, build tires, and make coffee,
and feed, and being very tired and hungry, we
obeyed the order very readily. It being about nine
o'clock In the evening, rind very dark, our gram et
railed the rebels (that were secreted all about us) to
come pear enough to even count the number of our
force. This they told me after we wore imptiired.
They mustered their forces and secreted them-
Seiveli in the Woud Within two rods of the read,
about a mile and a half in advance of where we
camped, near a turn in the road. We were ordered
to mount and keep well closed up, which we did,
Colonel Itablgren and Lieutenant Oolonel Crook in
adVanee, and as they made the turn in the road
the re nds ti l ed a volley Into the column from their
double. hatrellect shut guns, loaded with buck-ghee
killing Colonel Dahlgren, and wounding several
others, and killing several horses. Then Lieutenant
COloltel Cook entail the knee to be thrown down to
the right, which was done in haste, and we fell bum
in ae open field, where we were captured the next
morning. They marched us, seventy three in all. past
where Colonel DA/Ogren lay. I passed within ten
feet of him. He was stripped of every thread of
clothing, his ledge leg taken off', and Ills huger cutoff
to got his ring. He bad three bells through him,
and wax almost covered with mud, This was about
eight o'cierk in the morning.
They then marched un to Stevensville, where they
gave us some water to drink, tut nothing to eat,
We matched until about two o'clock, when they
halted, and gave each of the priaonera about a hell
lett of corn meal and about an ounce of bacon. We
mixer] our meal with some water (no salt), and
bele dit in the ashes. The Emceed day of our March
the boys began to give out front exhaustion. I could
not walk, and I gave a rebel a new overcoat that I
bait if be would allow me to ride to Richmond. He
lock it. an d told Die to get into the heggege-wagon,
which I did, suffering from a revere plea in my
Mee , . But they were not content to let Inn ride
there, end they took me out of the wagon and put
me Miaddie of a mule. I did not ride more than
Leila mile before I tainted, and fell oft' my mule.
Tiny /et me lay there in the mud until the we.
gee came up, when they Waled two riegraer to
peer me up and pitch rue into the wagon, and kill
tbe raider, declaring that we all ought to be
shot. The moat of our boys stood it very well. We
arrived at the prison the second night, about nice
o'clock. Thee rebels came in (one of them. having
A book), see ing; All of you that have money or
wateltes, come forward and give them up, and I
will take your Demme and perhaps, when you are
paroled, you may get them again ; but tone that do
not will he searched, and if there is any money or
watchee found nbeut yOu, it will be confiscated;"
and those that did give up their money were also
searched, and everything taken. I gave them twee
teebree dollars, and then they took my blanket,
haversack and contents, knife pocket. hoOli, postage
stamps, and, in feet, everything except the clothes
I had on my back. 1 had to lie to tali neer, With it
!mirk fora pillow, as many of tree other boys did.
Our rations consisted of a corn dodger awout the
size of ore's hand, and about a half pint of black
bean soup, which was not tit for hog feed. This was
our rations for one day.
I should have stated that the day we arrived at
Totten there were twenty-eight that were captured
and rut in prison in the morning. The whole of us
Were bucked and gagged, and kept in that position
for Several hours, until some of us were nearly ex
heusted. This was done bea.vas we were raiders.
They said that all Might to be shot. and that they
were going to turn us over to the civil euthorities,
and they would hang every d—d one of us. They
kept the ratters separate from the rent of the paw
reit, not even ailowing them to ask for a chew of
tobacco. They kept a guard over us night and day,
and or, the Wand no language can describe the ant:
&shins there. Fr auk Leslie's illustrations are nearer
than I can iserci;be—worse, if anything, than he re
presents. The rations there correlated of a piece of
cozmdodger atout three inches square twice a day,
and once in two or three days a small plea° of meat
of doubtful origin.

CITY ITEMS.
BEAET/PUL SPBC/MENB Or MARBLE WOES
In passing the marble yard of Messrs. Vangunden &
Young, Ridge avenue, above Wallace, yesterday,
our •atlention was attracted to a superb piece of
tombstone architecture, just floirbed by this firm, as
a family tribute to the late David G. Wilson, of this
cily. The monument is peculiar, both for its grace
end novelty of design, and the artistic excellence of
its execution, and should be seen by our citizens
during the day or two it is to remain at the yard
prior to its erection at Laurel Bill. It is embel•
listed with DOlintMan columns, on the earners, and
a scroll representing parchment, underneath of
which is a group of figures, (which tell their story to
the most careless observer,) chiselled in 'a style that
would do credit to the beat gaulptor in the land, re
presenting Christ maims , the blind. The intorip•
times are:
Whtreas I teas blind, ma see,”
and
"The darkness is past, and the 11.18 e light Abut),"
In orCer to understamithe pertinency of all this we
ought to state that Dir. Wilson ( who was one or
our best-known and higldresteemed citizens)
acme few years pr/Moue to hie death suffered a
partial loss of his sight, which finally resulted
in total blindness. The Christian resit„ nation with
which he bore this affliction, and the calm faith
with which he contemplated that future whioli he
has since been afro:imaged to realize, suggested the
touching and appropriate devices which now adorn
his monument. The noble design and workman.
ship of thie marble memento are in the highest de
gree creditable ter the firm to which itirexeCtifloa
Was entrusted. We also noticed while there a very
handsome monument, soon to be erected at Blount
Moriah Cemetery, to the memory of the late Samuel
Derrickeon.

No romeorr can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails, And no one can expect to erjoy health
permanently who permits it, for it is contrary to the
economy. of the system, and gives rise to a goodly
proportion of the ills which afflict the human race.
To neglect it, therefore, is to insure ill health of
greater or lees duration ; yet, in attempting its re
'novel, discrimination with regard to the remedies
to be used is requisite. Violent purgatives temporari
ly remove obstructions, weaken the bowels, and re
duce the strength Of the patient, and are Mowed
usually by greater constipation, rendering another
and another dose necessary, until even the strongest
pUrgatives lose their effect, and the patient', condi
tion becomes deplorable. What is required is `a
gentle purgative, one having some action on the
liver, and one that can be taken daily without im
pairing the strength of the patient or injury to the
Syatem, until the tendency to constipation is re
moved. But few remedies have been round to meet
them/ requirements, and of these few probably none
have been so successful, as demonstrated by many
years' use, as Dr. D. SAYNE'S SANATIVE Pints.
They are usually taken every night at bed-auto,
causing, in proper doses, no inconvenience during
the night, and producing no sickness or unpleasant
effect during tne day, so that persona may follow
their usual avocations, whether of business or plea
sure, in the same manner as if they had not taken
the Pills. Their good effect will begin to be obvious
after a week or two's use, particularly in greater
