SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1864.
The Great News To-Day.
Tlie rapidity of General Grant’s move
ments battles ordinary conjecture. Hebei
prisoners have said that they never before
.fouglit against a general who so constantly
astonished and bewildered them; that in
the evening they go to sleep with a vast
army on their front, and in the morning
awake to find it vanished. In little more
than a month he has freed all Northern
Virginia from the war, arid has passed from
the Ihipidan to the James, capturing Pe
tersburg, and, reversing his steps, advanced
on Richmond from the south. The rapidity,
the boldness, the brilliancy of those -colos
sal movements are literally unparalleled in
American war.
Suddenly, and • with a speed that Lee
could not emulate, Grant, 1 after crossing
the James, on "Wednesday, threw a strong
force upon Petersburg, wherein Beaure
gard still commanded an army of no small
.numbers." In one day, Wednesday, Geri;
Smith, with ftftccn thousand men, stormed
the entrenchments..of that city—works
which are said to be stronger than those of
Missionary Ridge, In one day lie .vir
tually captured the city, for though: we have
no assurance that the army entered it on
Wednesday, Petersburg lay at the mercy
of out'-'.artillery, and was. probably evacu
ated by the enemy. -The importance of the
Victory' is not easily exaggerated ; three or
four thousand prisoners wore taken, six
teen gims—-probably large siege guns—and
the railroad to Richmond seized. The; part
of the colored troops in this brilliant
action silences their calumniators. General
Smith told them, upon the field they had
so nobly won, and in the midst of their
wourided arid dead, that better soldiers he
had not seen, and that, they had gained the
right to be trusted in the hottest of the
fight, and eliouldhenceforth share the post
of danger.
The army under Be-voreoarb is upon
the west bank of the Appomattox, a river
navigable by large vessels as far as Peters
burg, and, it is thought, will attempt to de
fend that line, not permanently, of course,
but only so far as it can be used for the
protection of the Danville railroad. Lee
by this time should have his army again iri
front of Grant, holding. Fort. Darling on
his extreme left. Of the exact position of
our own forces wo are not informed. Smith
and Hancock are at Petersburg, Butler,
with not many troops, we suppose is:
on this railroad : near Halfway Sta
tion, but of the other corps we only
know that they are westward of the
James.' Hunttsr ancl Crook, by rebel
journals, were reported' to bo moving on
Lynchburg, aiming at the .destruction of
the invaluable railroad, thence to Itich- ;
inond. These journals also: state :that
Shebtoan had been defeated by Per/.
Hugh Lev-! a rumor there is good reason
to ■ doubt, for ; our cavalry through
out; this campaign has proved its supe
riority by uninterrupted success.. The
Danville railroad seems to he that which
alone the encm3 r can reasonably attempt to
hold. The immediate object of the cam
paign is the isolation of Richmond, and
never were better means adopted to com
mand success. If this broad, fan-like
sweep to the south results in the; de
struction of the Lynchburg and Danville
railroads, Lee will not only be cut off
from all help by the great eo-operating
armies of Gbant, but will be separated
from the Southwest (whence the rebellion
in Virginia derives its sustenance) by hun
dreds of miles of mountain ranges, once
liis impregnable defences, hut now the im
passable walls of his prison. ■/ v
Kentucky.
"We presume the real danger is over in
Kentucky. 1!or. aa n 3:os ridden lus raid,
captured a few horses, burned soaje bridges,
fought one or hvo of our militia regiments,
and is now returning home. Governor
Bbajilette, b}' his tardy energy, lias, suc
ceeded.,in '..defending Frankfort, aiid the
State thus escapes tlie shame Of having her
State capital pillaged and burned. The
disloyal papers of Kentucky have ceased to
abuse the Administration, and in this ex
tremity go down on their knees and im
plore its'help.: If rvo did not love and re
vere Kentucky, and i'eeias much sympathy
in her misfortunes as we would if they had.
befallen Pennsylvania, we might..be dis
posed to see in this recent invasion u just
and severe lesson. No State has been more
'pctulnut and exacting tlian Kentucky in
lier reialions with; the ..Genera] Govern
ment. 'When war first began, Kentucky
threw, her influence with the South. She.
insisied upon being the breakwater of tlie
rebellion, and when treason raised its front
against the Union she refused to aid in its
suppression. In the beginning' the influ
ence of Kentucky was practically as inimi
cal to the cause as that of South Carolina..
The stern necessity of war lias made
Kentucky firmly in the Union.. But what
is the moral position of that State ? Her :
influence is against the Administration. In
every step taken by Mr. Lckcols he has
found Kentucky 'in his way.. She opposed
tlie first call for troops, confiscation,' eman
cipation’, the'.-arming .of the blacks. She
lias been looking and longing for the Con
federacy, and vet she has nothing
from the Confederacy, but scourging and
oppression. With the exception of Virgi
nia, no State lias suffered so much from tlie.
rebels'. themselves, u The:rebels came into:
her borders, lime and again, for. the mere
purposes of theft and murder and rob
bery. The fairest portions of. her State
have been- devastated, and bauds of ma
rauders have cbanneilcd her fair fields
in seed-time, and harvest. If any State lias
ever been taught by experience it is Ken
tucky. This Government, which she lias
opposed and opposes to-day ; this Union,
of which she is a sullen, reluctant, hesi
tating member, have been her bulwark and
salvation. All tiie timeshe lias been acting.
.as a spoiled, : sullen, wayward child, she
receives nothing but kindness and attention.
This last deliverance is as marked as any
that Site has received, aud we trust that she
will show, her gratitude by: giving•; to the-
Government her sympathy and confidence.
Kentucky is too glorious a State to waste
these precious hours iii apathy and indiffe
rence. In the grand history-we arc now
writing she should at least secure a chapter.
Tlie Saiiitiuy Fair.
We are getting along: charmingly with
our Sanitary Fair. Logan Square, in some
respects the most: beautiftil part of Phila
delphia, is just now the most popular and ;
the most familiar. All its privacy and seclu
sion are gone. .Last summer Logan Square
was all retirement and peace. Its homes
were ns distant from the hunt and clamor
of oily life, front the noise and hustle and
excitement, as any of our rural villages.
Children went there on Sundays, and
poetic people, as well as those given to
pensiveness and love-making and natural
history, regarded its. trees, 'its ■ walks', its
squirrels,/and. its deer, as .things sacred to
themselves. . There is an end of this. Lo
gan Square is a city, a summer morning’s
Mecca, a place to get lost in. Under the
long, narrow, low-roofed buildings that
surround the trees, all that Is beautiful and
benevolent in -Philadelphia life lias been
hustling for many days. Little communi
ties lmvc grown up, rivalries and enmities
and friendships have been created, and a
little world in itself,- with griefs and joys,
life and death, is now breathing its short
life. We wonder as we pass through the
bazaars wheip all the people come from,
and why so much beauty has ieen hidden
from the world, and whether there will
not be marriages, and feuds, and life-long
friendships, arising out of this Fair. The
place for a philosopher is Logan Square.
Wc do not knoiv whether, as the report
ers sny, the Fair has “ reached its apogee."
If they mean, by this, that the people have
got tired pajdhg money, or that'Mr. Welsh
lias got tired receiving it, they would he
more correct' i n saying that it had scarcely
passed its perigee. Wo do not get a S;tpi-
Inry Fair every day, and we are going to
hold on to it. Mr. Claghokn wants a few
more days to show his: pictures, and Mr.
Orne will not be satisfied unless he has
reached a million arid a half. The sword
is still to be voted for, and as McClellan
is out of the calculation, the Mends of
Mkai>e and Hancock are in a generous ri
valry. The firemen are having their own
time about the horn ; the politicians and
cluirch-peopic are " busy about the vase,
which is-worth having as one of the most
valuable presents in the Fair; and there
are a groat many smaller contests over
knives,' and bonnets, and albums, and baby
lTouscs. After all, is this voting not a
dull business ? Cau people not have some
other way of showing their patriotic esteem
without paying a dollar ? . Iri New York it
succeeded by some accident, but it does
not seem to succeed here. We are, all of
us, to a certain degree, selfish people, and
would like to spend our money on some
thing more tangible than admiration. New .
Jersey’ is doing nobly ; and Delawaro, with
her Blue lien’s Chickens, is working harder
and saying less than many more pretentious
departments. Altogether, we have reason
to bo proud of our Fair—proud that our
Chief Magistrate has seen it in all its glory,
and been cheered by tins magnificent, vo
luntary contribution of the people.
The leaihshs of tile Micawbcr De
mocracy are discussing : the propriety of
postponing the Chicago Convention. .There
is understood to be a great difference of
opinion. Those who are in favor of peace, ■
and see some hope of, obtaining a reliable
Southern man' like Davis or Benjamin,
are in favor of the postponement. Those
who think otherwise, and believe in Mc-
Clellan .as a proper candidate, are in
favor of meeting on the Fourth of July,
Our opinion is that the Convention will not
be postponed.
; 'Wg sec it announced tluit Hon. Edward
McPherson, the Clerk, of tlic National
House of Representatives, is a
Political Text Rook, to he issued about the
first of August. It will present the history
of all the leading questions pertaining to
the war, andl all matters ;of current legis
lation. Mr. is peculiarly fitted
for such a; task, and his work will doubt
less become a standard authority.

’ TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE AT THU
WASHIHfGTOJr ARSENAL.
A terrible explosion occurred at the Washington
: Arsenal to-day, a few minutes before 12 o’clock.
It appears that some red stars for fireworks had
been made, and set out . in bloolr ; pans, to dry, and
not being made to standi®? highWtemperature titan
200 degrees, were soon ignited by the beat of the
sun. The remainder of the powder and the lateral
tory wore of course blown up. The occupants of tho
building were mostly females. Upon the explosion a
terrible scene was witnessed in. the yard. About
3,200 men and 300 women immediately - started out,
and left, the yard, some of them being severely
burned. . The; alarm was. immediately given, and
after, the fire was extinguished, the work of recover- :
ing the bodies commenced. Eighteen' have been
taken out burnt to a crisp, and their remains placed
inboxes. It will.be impossible to identify them.
Eight have been placed in the hospital—all females.
Thc saene at the yard was heart-rending when the
parents of the unfortunates reached the place. Un
’til tho roll is called' none of their names can be as
certained.. • ’
Major StejjbixS, military storekeeper, wa3 in
the building at the time, with several other gentle
men, = and states that after the powder on the
benches'.caught, the fire rah down rapidly, blinding
the girls, and setting fire to their clothes. Many of
them ran to the windows wrapped in flames, and on
their way communicated the lire to the dresses of
others. : •' : V-'
Tlie nineteen dead bodies takon out were so. terri
bly charred as “To be nllmost; beyond identification.
Three more are mortally injured, and there are
fifteen or twenty severe Special care
was taken to prevent the fire from reaching the
large magazine, in which several tons of powder are.
constantly kept, for had the flames reached - this
building tho loss of life would have been fearful, as.
several hundred persons were In the immediate vi
cinity. While the firemen were engaged in pouring
their streams upon the building in which the ex
plosion occurred, another explosion took piaco in
the ruins, but this only resulted in throwing into the
air some of tho burning timbers.: Quite a, number,
were injured in jumping from the windows, but the
majority or those who escaped in tills way imme
diately -ran off in all directions, which renders it
difficult to tell who periFhed and who escaped. One
* young woman bad an- arm broken in jumping from
the building. Three boys are missing, and ifc is
feared they perished in the building.;:. :
Only two of the bodies have been identified—those
of Joaxxa CosKEn and JVlaiksaukt Hon aw. The :
nmnber'killedisiT—all charred remains—and four
others are. badly Injured, namely: Mr. Moultox,
clerk; Miss McElvuesh, Elizabeth Huxt, and
Akna Bachb.
An inquest was held to-night, and the following is
a portion of the yerdiet given by the jury: They are
of. the opinion that Superintendaiit Brunvrr was
guilty of mpst culpable carelessness and negligence
in placing highly substances so near a
building filled with'liuman -beings, indicating a
most reckless disregard of; life, which should .bo se
verely rebuked by the Government, .
; FUEXOH OFFICERS WITH‘OURjARMy. -
We understand that a week; or two ,since Colonel
Db Chaval and Captain GuzarAH arrived in thl s
country from France, having been sent by their Go
vernment to study and report upon auything which
they might deem worthy of notice relative to mili
tary science and affairs. It wiU be recollected that"
our Government sent a similar commission to the
Crimea during the late war In that quarter.
The arrival of the officers referred to has probably
occasioned the statement recently published, that
the French Government had despatched special
agents hither with a view to intervention or media
tion.

THS PUS ISHMENT OF GiTi:iUI.LAS.
__The bin for the more speed y piinishmsnt of snerilliis
Was ealled up by Air. WILSON.- -
Mr. DAVIS opposed it as m iug.repngnant to the Cou.
siituuon and laws. He held that Congress had no power
to extend the jurisdiction of a court martial.
Mr. 'j IHJMBULLsaid Mr. Davis was arguing against
a principle which the bill did not enunciate. .He .read
from ilie amended laws to show that in times of war is
was competent for the commanding general to carry
.intoeffect the sentences of courts martial, and this bill
merely defined the crimes for which guerillas may be
punished by the commanding generU; ;

imported directly from the place or places of their
growth or production.
On motion of Mr. FESSENDEN, tlie coiamtttee’a
amendment taxing foreign wool ofthe value of Utceots
or less per pound 3 cents was disagreed io, and tho
House provision for die same duty on wool of the value
of 12cents perpouud or le.-s adhered to.
Mr. COLL&MER opposed the Finauce Connnitcoe’s
amepdinem in reference to imported and scoured wool,
giving many statist lea showing tie importance of encou
raging the wool-growing interests of onrown country..
He said 71,000,000 of pounds of wool were imported
into the United States last year, costing an average
of 17 cents per pound, which was just one cent below
the minimum price in our scale regulating the duties on
all wool below IS cents that was 5 per cent- ad valorem,
and it is only on wool above that that any rate
; per pound was imposed, and that was 8 cents per
pound up to the. Value of 24 cents, and above that
value 9 cents per pound; hence, seventv
one millions of pounds imported no less than six
ty-one millions two under the valt® of
per pc>und, aod we derived Aets tfiaii % half
railUon of dollars ditties from the’whole seventy-one
lutllion pounds; aud ia addition, as 6ne of the effects of
the demand being so:largely supplied from abroad,
there remains in tho hands of tho. wool-growers of our
country, nearly ono-half of their past year's clip. Tho
clause was finally modified by the consent of theohair
man of the Finance Committee {Mr. Fessenden), aad
rends as follows: -
That wool which shall be imported e£#sred shall pay,
in addition to tho duties herein provided, fourtimea
the amount of such duties. « •:
The duty on hemo or jute carpetiaff'iras decreased
from Sto cents Y-yard.

The. hardest fighting was doho .by the black
troops. The forts they stormed I tliink the worst

Alter the afiairvras over, General Smith went to
thank them, and tell them he was proud of their
courage and dash. He says, they cannot be ex
celled as soldiers, and that hereafter lie will send
them in a difficult place as readily as ills best white

THE HATE DEFEAT OF GEN., STURGIS.
Momiif?, Juno 14, via Cincinnati, Juno 16.—The
following detailed information in regard to the lato
defeat of General Sturgis is gathered mostly from
officers accompanying the expedition, und is mainly
correct:
Nothing of interest occurred until the expedition
passed Salem, Mississippi, bn the sth, when three
hundred men were sent in advance, passing through
Riploy/capturlng small parties of the enemy, and
moving directly upon Rlcrr/.i ami Danville, dcstroy
ing-lhe railroad,.burning the depot at the former
place, and constantly.skirmishing with a consider
able body of the enemy. They rejoined the main
column"on the Bth inst. Willi twenty-five prisoners.-
On the 9th the. main column passed through Rip
ley, moving southwest. On tho morning of the
10th the cavalry.moved in the direction of Gun
town, leaving the infantry in camp.: After proceed
ing a few milc3 they encountered the
pickets, and soon came upon a large body of the
enemy in position, and the battle became gdioral.
The cavalry dismounted and drove the enemy some
distance, when ihe hitter"were reinforced, and our
. men fought four liours'nguinst great odds, when the
infantry came up and the cavalry returned.
At 3 P- M. another large body of the enemy ar
rived on the railroad in sight of the battle, which
. was raging furiously. All our force being engaged,
it was soon cadent we could not withstand, such at
tacks as were being made by su&l superior num
bers, and our men, began to fall back, contesting
every inch of ground. Tlie colored troops fought
with desperation, and were the last to give way..
The column retrehted to Ripley, a distance of
twenty-five miles, that night, after burning a large
portion ol' their supply train and destroying ten
pieces of artillery, which they were unable to move
through the swamps. % .
On tho llth the enemy made a desperate attack
on the infantry T which, was repulsed ; but the attack
was renewed, and considerable portions of the In
fantry were cut off and captured. -After the ammu
nition had becomc/exhaustcd, it is stated that many
of the negro troops boarded the ammunition train
as It was being destroyed, filltag their pockets and
bosoms with cartridges; Others gathered the am
munition from the cast-off accoutrements of the
white troops, and thus were enabled to keep up tho
fight until they reached Memphis, .
It is stated that one body of 1,000 infantry, which
was cut ‘off and supposed to, have been captured,
was defended by 200 negroes from repeated assaults
of the rebel cavalry, and arrived at Collierville soon
after the main column. Another body of 300 ne
groes arriTOd this morning, having escaped by by
roads, all bringing in their arms.' ..
: The loss is now estimated at 125. negroes, 14 pieces
of artillery, and about 1,500 men, . All of the 57th‘
United States Colored have come in except 200 men
and six officers ; 300 of the 55th United States color
ed are missing. ' -

Surgeon Keauts, are missing. In the 7th Indiana

Beading, .Tunc 17.—Quite an oxoitomenfc has
been created hero in conscquonco of a political
emevte between ft portion of- the workmen in
the Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad work
shop in this city, resulting in , mortally wound
iug ouo of the parties.; A few days ago one of.
the workmen said ho jvould rather fight for the
rebel cause than for the Union. This expression
created a feeling of indignation among his com
panions, and they determined to order him to leave
the town, or else tar and feather him and ride him
bn a rail. This, morning ho again came to work.
One of his personal frlonds, though an opponent in
politics, ad vised him in kind words to leave shops
as ho would surely: be mobbed if*_he remained.
Another workman (father-in-law of the ivbol sym
pathiser) called out “ Shoot Him,” whereupon the
latter drew a pistol, and shot his friendly adviser,
the ball taking olfoot in the abdomen. The assail
ant was arrested and lodged In prison.

Tlic Union ratification mooting hold last evening
at the Cooper was a most unqualified suc
cess. The hall was crowded to the overflow, by an
audience, among whom wore many
ladies. The presence of ladles at the Union meet
ings has become almost characteristic, and the fact
olfers the most oolid testimony to the respectability
of tlic cause, if to nothing else. Among the vice
presidents were Peter Cooper, James Harper, Moses
H. Grinned, ami others or our most wealthy and
prominent citizens. Some years ago an ultra-Domo
cratic meeting was held at. the Academy of Music;
as a consequence the cushions were cut and tram
pled, and the lower decorations and panels wore
badly disfigured. Tim contrast, in tone, between
Uio audiences gathered under Use call, of the two
parties, is somewhat remarkable. Not-that the
great majority of Democratic meetings have not
been respectable, but that- in some instances they
have been more disgraceful to the candidates they
were intended to honor than The nomi
nees of the'Baltimore Convention wore cn.thusl*
nstieally endorsed;
Upon the same evening the McClellan Central
Executive Committee held a meeting at the Sinclair
House. Hiram Kotcbum, Jr., took the chair. It
was resolved that the General Is-the beat man for
uniting the conservative elements In tho country.
Moreover, it was resolved that the postponement
of the Chicago Convention was unwise. The wisest
thing done by the committee' was the last. On mo
tion of one of the delegates, the committee adjourned
cn masse for the purpose of attending the ratification;
meeting at the Cooper Institute.
A meeting of tho Peace Central Committee is to
be hold at tlic Aator House on Tuesday, June 21. No
general suspension of business is expected in conse
quence thereof.

Thb Tobacco Trade.— Dost night a banquet
was given by the Tobacco trade of. Philadel
phia, to lifessrs. G. W. Gail and Ax, and others
connected with the trade of Baltimore and
New York, afc the Continental Hotel. It was
worthy of the importance of this branch of
business, and the hospitality of Philadelphiaj and
amongits guests were almost all of the prominent
members of- the. trade in. the -three* cities. Mr. T.
H. - Yetterlein presided, and speeches were made
by Morton McMiehael, Esq., hlr. G-. W. Gail, Mr.
Yetterlein, Mr. Joseph "W. Miller, and others. Tho
members of the tobacco trade have reason to re
member this pleasant meeting, which will be one of
the most interesting events in its history, and can
not fall to be of permanent service to its interests.
Chesthut-stheet Theatre.— Mr. McDonough,
who has brought out the popular drama of “The
Seven Sisters ” in a manner much superior to that
attempted by any one else, here or In Europe, and
who has wisely introduced a variety of lively “ hits
at the times,” in the shape of satirical hits at men
and things of the day r had a great benefit last night,
and repeats the. play again thi3 ln his
own part, as Mrs. with an excellent company
to sustain all tho other parts, he goes the full
extent of the extravaganza. To see him, as a queen,
“tripping on the light fantastic toe.”- is certainly a
thing to remember forever, with a smile. Of courge,
he will .'play the piece for another week; it would
draw if he ran it; on . until the elections. Several
new features will be introduced, and some new and
sharp quips at the times will also be added. The
costumes, scenery, and machinery arc creditable to
the manager of the theatre. v.
Tlie Philadelphia vs. the i’ewYork Sani-
larj- Fair.
Hon. Edward Everett, in his polished speech at
tire Presidential reception at the Sanitary Fair, on
Thursday evening, very truly remarked that the
Gallery of Art through which he had just: passed
was certainly superior, in extent and richness, to
anyofclier exhibition of art ever witnessed in this
country. And what the silver-tongued orator said
of the picture gallery he might have said with equal
truth about the Fair in all its departments;^
Our Gothamite neighbors did a magnificent thing
In their late Fair, both. in the proceeds and the ex
tent and variety of the display, but they freely con
fess that theirs was simply a respectable forerunner
to tho great Philadelphia Fair now in progress. Wo
are proud of this, as it ailbrds.additional proof that
the cause of patriotism is more liberally sustained
in money as well as men in. the City of Brotherly
Eove than in any other city in the Union. Surely
if rampageous rebels need,, anythiug more to make
them hate Philadelphia, as Satan may be supposed
to hate the regions of bliss, they have it in last
generous ofiering of our citizens to enable General
Grant and his noble army “ to go through on this
line.”
In glancing through the Fair we were struck with
the marked liberality displayed in a number of the
departments, and in none more so than' that de
voted to Stoves and Cooking Kanges. Nearly every
stove man In the city has contributed something,
and one single house —that of Mr. James Spear, Nos.
1110 and 1118 Market street—has contributed more
goods to this branch of the Fair than were contained
in the New York" Fair in.tUe entire stove depart
ment. This class of contributions may seem a little
unseasonable; but-however this may be, the fact
that every article contributed by Sir. Spear is
already sold disproves the theory.
It is a fact worth mentioning, also, that one of the
very first articles sold in the Fair was one of
Mr. Spear’s celebrated Gas-Consuming. Cooking
Kanges—an article that has justly attained a na-‘
tional reputation. The interest manifested by
thinking people ,in the operation of Mr. Spear’s
popular Anti-dust, Parlor' Stoves, very naturally
resulted in the ; sale of all that were exposed
in the exhibition, although we would add, for
the benefit of visitors more especially, that du
plicates of all the Stoves and Banges exhibited
by Mr. Spear at the Fair can be had by call
ing at his warerooxns, Nos. lllOandlllS Market
street. Tho Parlor Stove here referred to, it will be
remembered, is the Stove which we have before re
ferred 1 to as having the patent Poker attached, by
which the fire is poked without allowing a particle of
dirt or dust to escape into the room. Any ono wish
ing to buy a Parlor, Chamber, or Office Stove, could
certainly never be induced to buy any other after
examining this. Every one of these stoves is made
from the best imported ßussia sheet iron.
To return to the New. York Fair again, not for
the purpose of making invidious comparisons, but to
illustrate the good sense of certain New Yorkers,
we may state that a number of visitors from “ the
Metropolis,” seeing Mr. Spear’s stoves in tho Fair,
gave their orders for them at once, as being fa r su
perior to anything that they had ever examined In
the stovo line, and it is not improbable that Mr.
Spear’s orders during thewCGming season, from Now
Yorkalonc, will be very large. Wholesale dealers
from a distance, wishing to supply themselves, had
better send in at once.
We uro proud to add, in conclusion, that Phila
delphia had not only the honor of making the most
liberal donation tbr tho benefit of the soldiers in this
department, but of contributing at the same tiipe
the most celebrated articles ever produced in this
country in the way of Stoves and Kanges, which
those made by Mr. Spear unquestionably are.
THE ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY MADE IX THE GREAT
OexteAd Pair by the Wheoler & Wilson Sewing.
Machine! Company is creditable to this Immense
sewing machine concern, and is likely to result-in
making hundreds of maids and matrons happy for
life, by resulting In their securing one of these; in
imitable labor-saving instruments. All who examine
the Wheeler & Wilson machines in operation are .
convinced of their completeness in every particular,
and of their decided advantages over all rival in
struments for all kinds of family use. Over iivo
thousand of these celebrated machines are now in
use In this: city alone, in our best families, and
among them all'we: have never yet been apprised of
a single disappointment. In tact, there is no possl
blo risk in buying a Wheeler & Wilson machine, as
every one sold is warranted to give: perfect satisfac
tion to the purchaser, or the money is returned.
Visitor? to the Great Central Fair should not.Ciil to
call fat the Wheeler V Wilson establishment, NO.
TOI Ohcstuut street, above Seventh. The Wheeler
& Wilson machines have this, peculiarity also, that
they arc practical and, oaslly learned,' and the work
they perform, while it is vastly moro beautiful, Is
equally as durable as the very best hand-sowing.
A Ih-.w Words About “Fakk.”— ir there is any
one word in the dictionary that just now. has the
pre-emineuoo on every tongue, it is the word
“Fair”—it matters ljdtlo whether it bo spalled
f-a-i-rorf-a-r-o. The Great Cental! Fair at Logan:
Square is, of course, She all-absorbing theme, and,
wo are giad to say, is referred So with more amia->
billty than tlib question of Railway fare, which is
also just now on the tapis. There is, however, still
another “ faro " vliloh awakens the most agreeable
reminiscences, and which wo can discuss with plea
sure and proSt to all who are olive to genuine
gustatory enjoyment. We refer to the. sumptuous
hills of fare now daily served at. the popular Dining
Saloons of Mr. 3. W. Price, southwest corner of
Fourth andjCUostnut. Hr. Price has not only tho
tisto and liberality to supply Ills larder with all tho
most dclicious'things that tho market affords—the •
finest butter,' bust beef, lamb, and mutton, the
choicest spring chickens, and most elegant salt
oysters, plump and fat, together with tho most
splendid fresh vegetables—but lie has the requisite
qualifications to prepare them in the most healthful
and tempting mode of cookery, and the most prompt
and polite waiters to servo them to his guests.
Dining at Price’s is a luxury which every gentle
man should know experimentally.
The GlibvEß & Baker Skvvc-b Macuihe is
the Fair.— -The Grover & Baker Sewing Machine
establishment of this city has covered ttsetr with
new Tamo, In the part taken by Its agent, in the ope
rations of our great Pair. The contributions mails
by him are all in excellent taste, and attest the
superior qualities of the Grover Sc Baker machine
for tlic finest needle work. We may state they
have among other valuable donations in the way of
machines and elegant embroidered work, a superb
Sewing Machine, encased in the most artistic and
elaborate style. Tho case of this instrument is per
fectly unique, being or rosewood, embellished with
landscape paintings, and inlaid with pearl, making
altogether one of tho most tasteful articles in the
Fair. : The machine is also supplied with one of
Grover & Baker’s ‘self-acting fans, and is, upon the
whole, attracting marked attention. The dollar
subscriptions to. it, for the honored recipient,
arc flowing in rapidly. Tiie book containing the au
tographs of the subscribers will accompany the ma
chine. We learn that the sales of Grover it Baker
machines since the opening of tiie Fair have been
very large, their rooms, at <5O Chestnut street,
being crowded almost every hour in the day with
visitors.
Try Them.— We have a practical suggestion t»
make to persons visiting the city to attend the Fair.
Of course everybody who reads tho newspapers has
read of the name and fame of the great Philadelphia
Confectioners, Messrs. K..G. Whitman & Co., No.
318 Chestnut street, below Fourth. But the present
will afford an opportunity of forming a closer ac
quaintance with this popular house, and testing the
superior quality of their Confections. There is po
sitively nothing in the entire category of delicious
edibles that appeals so effectually to the palate as
the luscious Confections made by this firm, and the
variety of their productions is as endless as their
qualities Let no one think of leaving
the city without carrying with him a budget from
G•. Whitman S: Co. for-’ 1 the loved ones at home."
BeaDy we never enter this attractive establishment
without wishing that we had at least a doiex fami
lies to, cater for. The aggregate of happiness that
could be conferred in this way would be inexpres
sible.
The “Fi.orexoe” Sewixo Machihes at the
Saxitary Fair. —lf the great Fair now in progress
at Logan Square accomplished no "more than to
secure to tho people a general introduction to the
celebrated “ Florence ” Sewing Machine (sold at the
office of tiie Company, No. (S3O Chestnut street), it
would be a great blessing to the public. What ia
claimed for this machine is now being demonstrated
daily, to tho delight of multitudes, and tiie next
place in popularity to the Fair itself seems to bo the
rooms of the “ Florence ’’ Sewing Machine, No. 630
Chestnut street. Every one of these inimitable in
struments has a “Bamum Self-Sewer” attached to
it, and is sold with a guaranty to give the purchaser
perfect satisfaction or the money to be returned.
“You who have Dollars to Si-exp, Pm;,
'’•'RE to Spexd them Now.”—This is, donbtless
what the great Boman orator would say could he
but return from the shades for a day and register his
name at the Girard or Continental. But .-ft he can
not, me make the timely proposition in his stead.
Go to tiie Fair and spend ypur'-oioney fireelv for the

• -The President at the Fair.— President Bin
coin paid a visit to the Great Central Fair, yester
day, and had a magnificent reception. He looked
in at the Art Gallery, enjoyed the Horticultural Dei
partment, “did” the Penn Parlor, conned over
the relics and curiosities, and enjoyed himself im-„
mensely on the whole. In the course of the evening
he remarked confidentially to a friend that no part
of the great show possessed half the attraction to
him as the display of wearing apparel made by
Eockbiir& Wilson, the proprietors of the Brown -
Stone Clothing Hall, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut?'
street, above Sixth.
