WEDNEEDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1865,
The Birthday of Washington.
To-day the nation will celebrate, with
unusual ardor, the birthday of its founder.
Events have given the anniversaries of
American freedom new value ; patriotism
.has its duties now as well as its pride ; its
sacrifices as well as its benefits. An Ame
rican cannot properly honor the memory
Of WAsEINGTOR to-day unless he rejoices
in the great victories we have won, does
his part In keeping the country true to its
purpose, and helps recruiting to the best of
his power. GEORGE WAsEiNGTOR does not
want our praise now, but if his great spirit
were now among the people it once pro
tected, it would turn from the orators to the
people and ask how many men were ready
to volunteer.
Philadelphia, in celebrating the day, will
ring her bells, throw out her flag* and fire
her cannon,,not only hi honor of WASII
INGTON'S memory, but in joyful acknow
ledgment• of the fall of Charleston, and
the constitutional abolition of slavery. The
peaceful and the war-like triumphs of free
dom unite to make this recurrence of the
birthday memorable. These give it a
brighter glory. -.Upon the old flag a triple
light' will shine. It is a great day for Ame
ricans ; crowned with diadem above dia
dem—the memory of the hero of the Revo
lution, the conquests of -the Union armies,
and the Jaw that makes a man of every
slave in the land. As such. it will be
everywhere celebrated ; the soldiers with
GRANT and SHERMAN will not forget it ;
the flags will proudly wave in San Fran
cisco as in Philadelphia ; the nation will
exult with one heart. Never was the
memory of WASHINGTON greener, for never
had we so much reason to profit by his
teachings and honor his great example.
Charleston.
As the nest and hot-bed of treason,
Charleston has long been superseded by
Richmond. The war reduced it suddenly to
a fifth-rate city. Other places in the South
sprung into prosperity, and Charleston,
owing everything to her harbor, was killed
by a blockade and buried by a bombard
ment. The brains of treason worked
elsewhere; nothing remained in Charles
ton but its venom. Still its capture
has an importance, not, dependent on
what it has been to the rebellion, but
upon what it may be to us. The last of
the rebel cities on the Atlantic, it gives
us the entire coast for a base, and its im
mediate result is the complete subjugation
of South Carolina. Another point is
gained ; the war is transferred to North.
Carolina, a State long since repentant of
rebellion, and SHERMA.N will advance not
among bitter enemies, but as a liberator
through a population eager to be liberated.
The evacuation of Charleston was effected
in a manner discreditable to its defenders.
The rebel troops robbed the city before
leaving it. The rich deserted it in fright.
The military authorities - fired it in a spirit
of impotent malice, for the Union can lose
nothing by the destruction of rebel houses.
It was a poor parody on Moscow. In this
half ruined, empty, and famished town the
Poor alone were left, and white and black
men and women eagerly entreated our sol
diers for food. It is said that their poverty
is greater than was that of the people of
Savannah when it was captured ; and we
think that as Charleston is fated to be a
Union city henceforth, Philadelphia might
at once begin the work of regeneration by
extending generous aid to these poor blacks
and whites.
The fourteen thousand rebel troops which
garrisoned Charleston have, in obedience
to the rebel policy of concentration, fallen
back to the northward. Those who believe
that the evacuation of Charleston indicates
the despair of the rebel leaders, are in great
error. This evacuation of the coast is
" miehing malecho;" it means mischief.
It means that battle is to be given to -SHER
man ; that all the scattered forces of the
enemy are to be drawn together, to offer
stubborn and bloody resistance to GRANT.
Though the capturPe of Charleston will be
of incalculable value to us in the future, at
present it is more glorious than useful, We
are but on the threshold of great events,
and if, in the coming battles, we are not
victorious, these minor triumphs will be all
eclipsed. -To decisively contend agains
the concentration of the rebel armies, we
must put every man into the field. Now is
the time for volunteers. Now is the mo
ment for the draft.

The German Opera.
There was a magnificent audience at the Academy
of Music last evening—without exception, one of
the most brilliant that ever assembled within its
Valle. "Faust" among operas, In popularity, is
like "Harslet" among tragedy. Without being a
first-class musical composition, it is Sweet and
quaint, and embodies a legend that the genius of
man has striven to embody In every form. There
are many charming arise; and without possessing
any of the high originality of Beethoven and
Mozart, Gounod has succeeded in writing one of
the most exquisite operas in the art of ranSIO.
Mr. Grover may felicitate himself upon having
given us one of the shabbiest perfornfances
Of "Faust" that we have ever had. In the first place,
instead of giving the part of Faust to }Timmer, who
has a sweet, strong voice, Tamara was selected.
Tamaro is a conscientious, faithful singer,but he hoe
a weak and rather piping voice, and is an awkward,
bad actor. Then, again, ho sings in Italian, and a
nice ear is constantly Mocked by the combination of
the full, gushing German and the sweet, tender lan
guage of Tuscany. If this were the only criticism,
we should be satisfied, but it is theleast. The music
was slurred in the most reckless manner. Whole
scenes were omitted, and towards the end the music
and acting were rushed together in a pellanell
higgledy-piggledy style, as though the artists had
other engagements at eleven o'clock, and were In a
hurry to get away from the Academy. The chorus
Was very weak, and many of the singers seemed to
have a irofound lndifference to melody or time.
The only real attractions in the opera seemed to be
Mr. targfeld and an immense drum that taxed the
powers of tour stalwart and gallant soldiers.
Herman, of course, sang his part splendidly.
He is a great singer and a great artist
and MephistophefeB his best part. Frederic!
Was fair as Marguerite. She has a sweet
delicious voice, and Is an agreeable artist, but
occasionally gets out of time and fails id strik
ing a note. Md'lle Dzinte as Siebei, made a sac
ease only empaseed by that of Herman!. The other
artiste went through their parte, and that was all.
Altegether, we have Seldom heard a more unsatisfac
tory performance of " Faust," and now that Mr. Gie-
Ter is making a great deal of money and drawing
immense houses, we feel like saying that such a
performance Is not what Philadelphia aspects when
she bestows her patronage in this princely manner.
Mr. Grover has the field all to himself, and perhaps,
While thousands go to hear an opera badly Ming, It
Is a Certain sort of economy to make no particular
effort to have the singing improved. Bat no such
policy Can achieve a permanent success.
A change has been made in the programme for
to-night. Instead of "Robert le Diable" the
management his substituted it The Jewess," with
Mears. Simmer, Hormane, and Habelman, and
Mesdames Tohannsen and Roller, in the principal
parts. The reason for this Change IS not given, but
It is probeibly owing to a continuance of the dltft
aulty with Karl Formes, without whom " Robert "
Gould not be properly produced by the present
Company.

TDB STATUS OP POLITICAL PRISONERS
The Secretary of War, in reply to a resolution of
February 14th, has transmitted to the Senate a com
munication relative to persons held as political pri
soners. He states that upon the passage of the act
of March Bd, ]B6B, he directed Judge Advocate HOLT
to commence proceedings against all such as should
not be released under the provielons of the aot: The
prisoners were confined at St. Louis, Alton, Lou
isville, Sandusky, Wheeling, Camp Chase, Fort La
fayette, Port IlloHeary,PFott Delaware, and the Old
Capitol.
It not being generally stated in the rolls by
whose authority the arrests were , made, says Judge
Heim I , It has been presumed, for the purposes of
the present lists, that all were made by the authori
ty, either directly or Indirectly, of the President,
acting through the Secretary of War. In point of
fact, however, it is believed that the arrests were
generally made by military commanders and pro
vest marshals without ahy intervention on the part
of the President or Secretary. The oases of gueril
las, It seems, and snob. as are clearly triable by
court-martial, were not generally included In the
lists, neither were the eases of parties confined un
der sentences of military courts. Those embraced
in the Bate were those awaiting charges, hostages,
refugees, rebels, dishoyanste, etc."
The Secretary Says that prior to the passage of
the act he had taken measures to examine and
determine the oases of State and political prisoners
by appointing commissioners to examine the pri
soners and discharge all proper cases. He states
that in some military departments prisoners had
been incarcerated by State Executives or local mili
tary commanders ; that ,such oases did not oomo
within the terms of the aet,, but that measures had
been taken , for their investigation, and their dis
charge when it ebuld be done without prejudice to
the public safety. A commission charged with this
duty consisted of B.Va(JA3II2‘ S. COWAN, ROSWELL
Almon; and SAMUEL BOSTwiON. A speolal com
mission, consisting of Judges KiNG and BOND, was
also appointed for the examination of prisoners at
Fort Delaware or elsewhere in the Middle Depart
ment, and General Drs was directed to investigate
the cases of imprisonment at Fort Lafayette and
other prisons in the Eastern Department for the
Custody of blockade-runners and illicit traders. •
Major Tolman was directed on Feb. 1et,1861, to
make lavestigations at the Old Capitol, ustiffor the
custody of prisoners arrested by military comman
ders and by the Navy Department. He was di
rected to discharge minor offenders, who were not
prisoners of war, to report for exchange ,all pri—
soners of war, report for trial all charged With vio
lation of.the laws of war, and to Investigate and
report abuses in arrests by provost marshals or
others to the military governor. The Secretary
also states that frequent' examinations of military
prisons have been ordered from time to time. The
Secretary recounts the facts of defeetion
from loyalty of officers of every rank and
department of service,
and says in this' emergency
the President thought it his duty to employ with
energy the extraordinary powers which the Goma.
se
tution confidealn bim in cages of inaurreotion. He
Called Into the field such military or naval forces,
unauthorized by the existing law, as seemed to him
necessary; he directed measures to prevent the use
of the poet office for treasonable correspondence ;
he subjected passengers to and from foreign coun
tries to new passport regulations, and he in
stituted a blockade, suspended the writ of
habeas corpus in various places, and caused
persons Who were represented to him as being about
to engage In treasonable and disloyal practices, to
be arrested by special civil as well as military
agencies, and detained in military custody, when
necessary to prevent them and deter others Isom:
such practices. Examination of such oases
was instituted, and some of the persons so ar
rested have been discharged from time to time un
der circumstances, or upon conditions compatible,
as was thought, with the public safety. Meantime a
favorable change in public opinion has occurred,
the line between loyalty and disloyalty is plainly
defined, the whole structure of the Government is
firm and stable, apprehensions of publte danger and
facilities for treasonable practices have diminished
with the passions which prompted heedless persons
to adopt them.
The Insurrection has culminated and is believed
to be declining.
He further stated that the President has deeded
the discharge of all polltiol or State prisoneri
upon their subscribing to a parole to render no aid
to the enemies of the United States. The Seeretary
of War will except from the effect of this order all
rebels and others whose release is deemed danger
ous to the public safety. An amnesty %granted to
all such as keep their parole and he promises that
hereafter arrests will be made by military anal>.
rity alone. •

IsTaw Yoßge, Feb. 21.—The steamship Fulton,

McManus furnishes us with the following memo.
rands:
Charleston was evacuated by the enemy on the
night of tie 17th, leaving the several fortifications
uninjured, besides two hundred guns, which had
been spiked. The evacuation was first discovered
at Fort Moultrie, on the morning of the liith, at ten
A.M. Part of the troops stationed at James Island
crossed over in boats and took possession of the city
without opposition, the 'upper part of the oily being
on fire.
Previous to the enemy evacuating they fired the
upper part of the city, by which six thousand bales
of cotton were burned, and it Is supposed that before
they could subdue it two-thirds of the city would be
destroyed.
A fearful explosion ocourred in the Wilmington
Railroad , depot, the 0114110 of which was unknown.

The departure of the rebels from Fort! Sumpter
and Moultrie was, it is understood, seen from oar
voice% boats which reconnoitre the harbor at night ;
and the operations of the rebel garrisons began,
about twelve hours before the evacuation was com
pleted—namely, at ten o'clock on the evening of
the 17th.
THIrPISING OR THB
Early on the morning of the lath, two torrid°
explosions in Charleston were observed from our
fleet. Fire, smoke, and burning fragments filled the
air for a great distance, and the shook was severely
felt by all our vessels.
Soon afterwards, and before daylight, fires were
tet in other places, and- extended throughout the
upper part of the city. It has since been ascertained
that many thousand bales of cotton were burned in
consequence of the explosion of the warehouses and
other public buildings that were Wet by the rebels.
OUR HOMES Tracrtio POSSASION.
Our forces took possession of the city , In the fore
noon, ea already reported. Gen. Sehlinmelpfennig
was unopposed, the rebels leaving aa the Union
troops came la eight, There wee not even a show
of resiatenee.
==l
It appears that- the rebels who remained to the
last were not well organized, and a majority of them
were thieves, whose object In staying was plunder.
It Is reported by the inhabitants of the city that
these men were guilty of many disgraceful acts.
They had little diflioulty In effecting -their escape
withlheLr booty.

Several hundred rebel deserters were ooneeeled
in the houses in Charleston, and when. our troops
entered they surrendered, declaring that they were

CFONDZIKOR 00 THE OITY.
The lower part br the city, within reach of our
guns, was in effect a ruin, and was almost uninha,
bited. Comparatively few persons dared to remain
there. Some of the bonzes were knocked down ;
bricks and timbers were lying everywhere, and :the
streets in particular were strewn with the frag
ments, in many places entirely Obstruoting travel.
Shells were lying among the ruins. The appear
mice of the city—the lower part uninhabitable and
the upper part In flames—ls deiloribed as dreary and
desolate in the extreme.
van REBEL ARMY AND SUPPLIES.
There is. information that the evacuation of
Charleston began nearly three weeks ago. A rebel
raiser, who deserted and was examined at Port
Royal, gave some of the details, but they were not
then believed. Since that time the rebels have been
at work removing stores, though all the heavy sup
plies wore left.
The only information in rapid' to the rebels is
that the direction taken by them in their flight was
northward, and that their number wee about four
teen thousand.
An expedition of Union troops to Bull's Bay, a
abort time before the evacuation, was, it is under
stood, intended to cut the railroad north of the city;
but, if successful, it Gould have prevented the escape
of only a few of the rebels.

In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of War has

regard to the obligation to perform military service in
Prussia.
Under the proposed new regulations the whole term

The fixes division of Landwehr will only be called

The Minister of War said be hoped that the wish of
the country for reconciliation between the Diet and the
Government might find, an echo in the Howie. The Go

Mention of the army, was-willing to renounce the exe

dial agreement upon the pending military question
could only be obtained by a mutual understanding on
points at issue between.the Government and Diet.
Re Said, in conclusion the Government has this
object view. in introducing the present bill, and is
convinced of the necessity of all army reforms being
effected on a Parliamentary basis.
A Berlin telegram says that as the new military bill.
makes no concession, a majority of the Deputies will
simply expiate regret that each a bill. has been intro
