The End ef the Slave Rebellion.
The rebellion against the Government of
the United States has been defeated, after
a four years l struggle, unexampled in the
armies called to the field, the loss of pre
cious lives, the expenditure of treasure, the
cruelty of the guilty authors of the war,
the. commanding issues involved, and
, the everlasting- principles rescued and
• secured by the final Union triumph. It
/was in Virginia, in October of 1781, that
the American rebellion against British
tyranny achieved its last victory, and
where the Revolutionary War was closed
by the surrender of the British army and
navy, commanded by Lord Cornwallis, to
George Washington, commander of the
American forces. In this same Virginia,
not very many miles from the scene of
the defeat and capitulation of the British
mercenaries, and in the vicinity of Rich
mond, the capital of the State, the rebellion
of American slavery against American
freedom has just been beaten and crushed
by the American army under command of
Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, and his captains, Grant,
Sheridan, and Meade. It remains with
the vanquished traitors to choose the hour
. between their formal submission to the
majesty of an outraged Government and
their complete and inevitable extermina
tion. Never were two rebellions so dif
ferent in the causes which provoked and
precipitated them, The one was the revolt
•of a.young and struggling People against
a Power which had plundered and op
pressed them. The other was the revolt of
-a besotted Aristocracy, which had been fed
and flattered by an indulgent Government,
until, spoiled by prosperity, after having
practically governed the majority by its
money and its arregance, it raised its
.arm against its generous benefactor.
God decided that, as the one rebellion
was just and holy, it should prevail
against all the hosts and the money of
the foreign tyrant. And God has also
decided that, as the other rebellion was un
just and unholy, it should perish, eveu sus
tained as it has been by the same foreign
influences which hunted and proscribed
our common ancestors. The surrender of
-Cornwallis opened the door of the Cen
turies to the maxims and examples of Ame
rican freedom—a freedom born in the tor
tures and throes of European bigotry and
persecution; and when Slavery attempted
to close the door upon the progress of
Enlightened Democracy, the infant of 1781,
-grown to the giant of 1865, completed the
work of vengeance a.nd vindication by the
annihilation of the crime which caused the
reunion and the criminals who conduct
ed it.
We Shall Dwell in Peace Together.
We do not envy the men who, in the
hour of a nation's deliverance from the
blackest conspiracy that ever threatened
any people, dismally debate the contin
gency of the return to their former power
of the baffled and self-banished authors of
. our "woes. Nor do we sympathize with
those who continue to dwell upon the ex
ploded party-cry that the South will never
- submit, the rebels can never be conquered,
ttnd that, even if defeated, there can be no
real or lasting friendship between the so
-called “ sections,” We have not only a
hop.eful and a strong confidence that the
Southern people will eject their be
trayers and oppressors, but that they will
gladly and gratefully come back to the love
and allegiance which at one time was their
proudest boast, when they called Northern
men their brothers .and the Constitution
their shield and buckler. These thoughts
are suggested by the remembrance of the
splendid argument of Hon. Edward
Everett, on the 19th of November,
1868, in Ms. oration at the dedica-
ticm" of . the cemetery at Gettysburg,
an this State. We reproduce this noble
classic in another part of The Phess.
Never -will the impression of his golden
wordß be removed from our mind; They
were precious and' soothing when they, fell
warm and glowing from the stainless lips
now cold and silent, for they seemed to be
addressed to the heroes who slept at his
feet, and to tell them they had not died in
vain—that theirs was not a sacrifice for an
empty theory or a politician’s creed, hut
for a stern, living, and undying reality—to
■save a country and to punish those who
sought its destruction. At this moment,
when all good men look to a speedy end of
war, to a just and lasting peade, and to a
tibrough reunion of the whole people, the
Argument of is at once
A new reason for national pride and a new
source of national confidence. Bead it
carefully. Not a sentence of it but is a

“ The Difficulty in tbe Way.”
The country may as well understand, first as last,
thatthe most stupendous, if not the sole, difficulty
-In the way of paoifioatlon lies to the apprehension
.felt by the Bepnbllosn leaders as to the iate of their

-this Is the knotty problem wnioh gives Mr, Lincoln
jause.— Washington Correspondence New York World
of yetterday, April 7, 1805,
Whoever believes that Mr, Lincoln -will

such apprehension or knotty problem as is
here attributed' to and prepared for him,
■wilfully misunderstands bis character and
rejects the evidences of his published
opinions. We are willing now, as we have
always been, to commit the whole subject
of “ pacification” to him. For we know,
-as the country must know, that Air. Lin

.re-elected as a Union candidate.
Be has never been retarded in the
discharge of his public duties by the
threats of party leaders. Rewarding and
in,most cases preferring his former party
-friends in his appointments to office, he
has'refused to be driven or moulded by any
of the leaders who are influenced alone by
recollections of old political prejudices, or
by proscriptive platforms or tests. We
meed not collect instances to prove this de
claration. In making a permanent peace
-wcbelieve Mr. Lincoln will scorn to be
ruled by party, and that he will sacrifice
any “leaders” who might stand in the
way of such a peace. As to the men who
are to shape the destinies of our country
after “pacification,” no one will ask
[ ihat they should be “ Republicans,”
| or. demand that they should not
1 .be “Democrats.” But they must not
t <be ' traitors to the great trust that may

permitted to exercise “ rights” to destroy

Market Prices—Still Higher.
On Tuesday gold was eight per cent, low
er than on Saturday, but the market-folks,
who appear to levy their extortions on the
rule of contrary, made further advance in
their prices. Pood was higher at yesterday’s
markets in Philadelphia than it had been
since the first week of March, 1861. The
feet is, there is a conspiracy to keep
market-prices up, beyond what reason or
honesty can warrant. The prices of
Wearing apparelj of cotton and woolen
goods, of tea, coffee, and sugar, of flour
and meal, have gone down with the de
cline of gold, but the price of mere food—
, flesb, fowl, fish, butter, eggs, and vegeta?
bies of all sorts—was higher yester
day, with gold about 147, than it was
when gold was at 286. This is a matter of
fad and not of speculation, and every
person, male or female, rich or poor, who
has to make market- purchases for a family,
will admit that we do not exaggerate a
single iota of the truth.
Some pionths ago, when we drew atten
tion to the fact that fresh butter was seven
ty-five cents in Philadelphia, and not one
third of that price in several country mar
kets in Pennsylvania, the farmers who
visited and supplied our city markets were
tremendously indignant, threatened all
sorts of vengeance, would cheerfully have
subscribed to burn us in effigy (in default
of laying hold of the actual exponent of the
extortion), and declared, in the accent
and with the aspect of injured innocence,
that they were compelled to raise the price;
of butter, eggs, fowls, and all other coun
try prices, because they had to pay advanced
prices for tea, coffee, sugar, rice, and va
rious articles of wearing apparel. Their
excuse was a poor one—for the grass which
feeds their oxen and sheep is not taxed,
and it costs no more to keep a laying hen
now'than it did before the war. Still, we
accepted the excuse, though we envied the
country folks, who live in clover, and pay
no income tax in one case out of forty thou
sand, and are affected in the slightest possi
ble manner, by any other Internal Taxation.
Matters have changed, and the old eicuse,
worn somewhat threadbare, will not avail,
now that the cost of all other commodities,
country produce excepted, has “gone
down with a rush.” Why raise the price
of country produce under such circum
stances ? There is no reason upon earth,
(there probably may be lower down, for
cupidity and extortion are damnable sins,)
why beef should not now average 20 cento,
mutton 18 cents, veal 16 cents, and poultry
18 cents the pound.
We are ‘cheated! That is the fact.
We dmow not how to check this persist,
ent and pocket-picking system of increas
ing prices, when gold and other commo
dities are getting cheaper. If we were
to unite, only for one week, and, leav
ing the markets unvisited, he content to
make shift npon ordinary food not ob
tained there, the extortioners would have
their wares left on hand, and might take
them home or dispose of them in the cool
of the evening at honest rates.
W® hAve received more favorable de
spatches from Gen. Grant, announcing
another victory for our arfns. The de
spatches appear, however, to be rather
confused in their statements of posi
tions, etc., but it seems as if Lee had
succeeded in passing Sheridan at Jetters
ville, since some of the battle was fought a
few miles further on, near Sailor’s Creek, a
branch of the. Appomattox, ou the borders
of Prince Edward county. Lee’s army is
evidently demoralized and useless, since a
single corps was able to drive it.
To-morrow has been set apart by the
Governor as a day of thanksgiving for our
recent victories.

Lieutenant General Grant: '
At daylight this morning I moved the 2d, 6th, and

of Amelia Court House. Soon after moving relia
ble intelligence was received that the enemy was
moving towards Farmvllle. The direction 'or the
2d end 6th Army Corps was immediately changed
from a northerly to a northwesterly direction,
the directing oorps (the 2d) moving on Deatons

on the right of the 2d, and the Bth taring about and
moving by the left Rank, taking position on the left
of the 2d. It was understood that the oavalrv would
operate on the extreme left.
The changes were promptly made, the 2d Army
Corps soon becoming engaged with the enemy near
DeatonsvlUe, driving him to the right, across Sai
lor’s Creek, to the Appomattox.
The 6th Army Corps made a long march, but Its
position prevented its striking the enemy’s column
berore it had passed. The 6th Army Corps oame
up with the enemy about 4 F. Mi, and In conjunc
tion with the 2d on Its right and cavalry on its left,
attacked routed the enemy, capturing many
prisoners, among them Lieutenant General Ewell
and General Custls Lee. -

and the approaches on either side are of soft bot

GENERAL WEIGHT'S'REPORT.

April 6-10 P. M.
Major General Wilde, Chief of Staff i
In pursuance of instructions this morning from
Major General Meade, I moved, via Jettersvtlle, by
the short and practicableroad to the.left of Deatons
vlile, with the object of retaking a position on th«
left of the 2d' Army Corps, striking the road running
from Deatonsvllle to Burke’s Station, at a point
a little to the southward of the former place.
I found that the 2d Army Corps was engaged to
the front and the right, and the cavalry heavily to
my left, .Moving down the road towards Burks’s
Station, for perhaps a mile, and turning sharp to
the right, I proceeded across towards a nearly
parallel road in whloh the enemy was moving, and
along whloh he had thrown up a line of entrench
ments.
As soon as the leading division, Gen. Seymour’s,
could be formed, It was moved up on the road held
by. the enemy, whloh was carried. Then turning
to the left, It was advanoed down theroad against a
pretty strong resistance.
By this tune Wheaton’s division was put in posi
tion as rapidly as possible on Seymour’s left. The
lines were again advanced, and we swept down the
’road fora distance of about two miles. Arriving at a
deep and difficult creek, we found the enemy had
reformed line on the opposite side, where we at
tacked and drove him to a point a distance of half a
mile further. In the first attack a portion of the
cavalry operated on our right flank; In its subse
quent attacks the mass of the cavalry operated on
onr left, and the right flank of the enemy.
The result has beena complete success.
The combined foroes oapturedftyegeneral officers'
among them Generals Ewell and Custls Lee, and
a large number of other prisoners.’
I shall go In camp about two miles beyond this
point, and await instructions.
The Ist and 3d Divisions (Whiting’s and Sey
mour’s) and the artillery engaged to-day behaved
splendidly. A return of casualties will' be for
warded as soon as possible. The corps has nobly
sustained the reputation it earned on the 2d, as well
as upon Its many previous hard-fought battlefields.

Newbebn, N. 0., April 2,—A preconcerted plan
to fire this city was developed thlß morning at half
past ten o’clock. Several large buildings, contain
ing forage and ordnance and commissary stores,
were set on fire simultaneously with the aid of
phosphorus. The alarm was given and signalled at
once throughout the city, and the fire department
and the entire population promptly turned out, and
the flames were extinguished In a short time with
out doing much damage. Seventy bales of hay and
a few' other articles were consumed. The extensive
bridge over the NeusC river was fired at the same
time in four places, but was alto extinguished.
A rebel officer has been discovered, and Is now In
confinement, and other suspicious parties are
watched. The fire department has been on duty
over since, and Is to be renewed this morning. A
double guard has been stationed throughout.the
city to prevent like occurrences, and to arrest all
suspicious persons. The excitement was very great
yesterday and last night, but Is now subsiding.

While lying quietly to camp ,the soldiers art not
Idle, but are recuperating their strength for “new
and untried dangers,” which their Illustrious chief
has told them they are to encounter, nations and
clothing are being hurried on to the front as fast as
railroad, Bteamboat, and wagon can transport
them, and onoe there, they art as rapidly distributed
to their eager recipients.
A general belief has obtained'ln camp that the.,
only policy hy which Gen. Lee has now any ohanoe
to evade an early rain of both the Confederate
armies Is to slip away with the Army of Virginia
from Grant, and, after efleotlng a junction with
Johnston’s army, precipitate the entire force thus
accumulated upon Sherman’s army.* No movement
of Gen. Lea’s looking to a prolongation of the war
could please the soldiers of the West better than
this. Behind the strong breastworks which they have
erected, and whleh are still belnA strengthened as tu
la anticipation of an attack, the Oombtnedarmios oi
Sherman, Schofield, and Terry -could, easily resist
the entire forces of the Confederacy. ,
The request of Gen. Williams to ho relieved of
the command of the 20th Corps, excites considera
ble comment among his troops. That Gon. Mower,
of the Wth Corps, should have , been appointed his
successor, Is somewhat surprising, as it was com
monly supposed that MUj. Gen. Geary would re-,
celve this appointment, which he so richly deserves.
Perhaps the selection of Gen. Mower to the oom
mand Is merely an indication of a desire on the part
of Gen. Sherman to carry on the war In the oomiag
campaign In the same stern, relentless manner
which made his recent march through the Caro
lines so like that of a destroying angel.

Niagara and Sacramento immediately, followed.
The expectation of a fight caused immense excite

turned to port.
In’ the House of Commons the Marquis of Hunt
ington moved a vote for the fortifications, Including
£60,000, a part of £200,000 required for Quebec.' A
long debate ensued. The Marquis explained that
the total estimate for the Quebec fortlfloatlons was
£200,000 sterling. It was necessary, now that the
United States had become a great military power,
to place Canada In a state of defence, although the
Government had not the slightest expectation that
the United States contemplated an attack.
Mr. Bentlnck objected to the Government scheme,,
and moved the omission of the Item for Quebec
from the estimates.
The merits of the question were debated by Gen.
Feel, Adderly, Disraeli, Lord Bury, Cardwell, and
others, who supported the vote.
Messrs. Bright and Lowe were the principal
speakers against the measure.
Lord Palmerston denied that there was any dan
ger of war with America. Our relations were
friendly, and the Government simply proceeded ac
cording to the practice of all countries.
The amendment was rejected by a vote of 275
to 40. '
- London letters state, on good authority, that the
rebel pretested dralts will be paid the next day.
Continental polities are unimportant.
In the House of Commons Mr. Ayrton asked lr
the Government Intended to ask the sanction of
Parliament to guarantee, the money required to
complete the railway from Halifax to Quebec.
Mr. Cardwell said that when the colony was pre
pared to carry Into effect the conditions upon which
the guarantee was to be given, tho Government
would be prepared to fulfil thelr.engagements, but,
as at present advised, he had no.lntentlon of asking
Parliament for a guarantee at this session.

RUSSELL—WHT THB OOMFBDBBAOY WAS RECOG
NIZED AS A BELLIGERENT—PRIVATE HISTORY
OF THB TBBMT AFFAIR, AMD OTHER MATTBBS
OF MUTUAL IMTBBBBT.JK, '
111 our files of London pfgßrs by the China, which
arrived at New York yesterday momlog, wo find a
long speech of Earl Russell, delivered during the
course of a debate In the House of Lords on “our
relations with America.” The Immediate cause for
the speech was a motion to lay upon the table a
notification from Mr. Adams, our Minister, that the
United States intended to terminate the reci
procity treaty and the convention regulating the
aimed force on American lakes. He stated that
the American Government was perfectly right in
giving notice of the termination, which would take
place tn twelve months from the date of acknow
ledgment of the notice. He then went into a long
detail of the troubles Detweentbe United States and
England, believing that the fiery and ill-consid
ered-speeches made by many of the lords would
only increase the war- wlth-Eogland party In
the United States. He wished to show in
his remarks that there was also a party who
were willing to do the United States justice.
And to show this willingness, he essays to explain
such of the policy as has excited lU feellng and
animadversion in America. -In the case of the
Trent, he says that there, should.be no reason to
Complain of the demand, since it was neoessary,- and
Tnaoe tnaa oti'urteouß a way as possible; Many of
the paragraphsin tho original draft were softened
iSrt the.instance of Prince Albert But the most Ira*
portant-portion of hfs speech Is devoted to an ex-
SoEltlon of the reasons, for which the Southern
tatee, at the opening of tho rebellion, were recog
nized as belligerents; As from' this recognition
-sprang,all subsequent bickerings and divisions, wo
girfi it entire : ■ - -
lr One. ofthe chief complaints put forward is, that
■ thlsfooontty in' a great hurry and without proper
consideration granted belligerent rights to wnat
are called the Confederate States. Now, every
one who knows any tbit g of the law of nations,
knows perfectly well that although a country
may put down Insurgent!! who rise against its
authority, yet that a country has no right or power
to Interfere with neutral commerce unless It as
sumes the position of a belligerent. [Hear, hear ]
But .the. President of the United States by his pro
ds oration declared that the coasts of particular
States were in a state of blockade, and that armed'
vessels belonging to these States were to be treated
as pirates. There came representations on this
subject from jier Majesty’s minister in the United
States, butvjn the first Instance these merely
oovered despatches from Admiral Sir A. Milne, com
manding her Majesty’s squadron in those waters,
asking hew, he wub to treat the armed vessels of the
two parties. At that time Lord Campbell was
Lord Chancellor, and we consnlted him and the
law officers of the Crown. Lord Campbell declared
that there was no course hut one to pursne^-namely,
to regard the blookade on the part of. the United
States as the exercise of a belligerent right. And as
belligerent rights cannot be confined to one
party, but are usually exercised against somebody
else, our advisers told us that we were entitled to
recognize the existence of belligerent rights on the
part of both of the combatants, and to declare her
Majesty’s neutrality between the two parties.
[Cheers ] The proclamation In that sense was ap
proved .by my learned-friend the present Lord Chan
cellor; and the course of neutrality thus adopted
wag certainly received with favor, and, I believe,
commended itself to the sentiments of the country
as the right course for ns to taka. It Is said now
that we ought to have awaited the arrival of Mr.
Adams. I know not what Mr. Adams oould say on
the subject. If I had told'my colleagues that we
must - wait for him and consult him, I be
lieve it would only have caused embarrass
ment in the relations between the two coun-.
tries. He could soared; have approved any;
thing whloh we did ehort;of taking the part or the
North against the South. But, then, It W said it
the . ot neutrality was not altogether
wrong, at any rate It ought to have been delayed,
and that unfriendliness was shown in the manner of
Its promulgation. I conceive that there was no
thing unfilendly, nothing uncourteous in the de
claration but, on the contrary, that it was the
proper course for this country to declare at the
earliest moment that it meant to take part neither
With the North nor with the South, hut to remain
entirely neutral in the contest. [Hear, hear.]
Be lt. observed also that from the Issue of that
proclUmation, on the 18th of May, her Majesty’s
subjeots were bound to take no part in the con
test, anfl were warned that they would disobey her
Majesty's injunctions If they gave aid to one side
or the other.”
THB ALABAMA AMD MB HAMS.
Of the Alabama case he said that, as the matter
would undoubtedly have to be settled between the
■ two Governments, he would not forestall the dis
mission by saying anything. Inthe oaseofthe rams
—a cause for much irritation—there was no suoh
-necessity, and he thus speaks of them j
“ After the Alabama had sailed from Birkenhead
other vessels were,bnUt, the construction of which
amounted In Itself to an armament, and furnished
evidence Of a hostile purpose. The owners of those
vessels were In correspondence with Capt. Bullock,
the agent of the Confederate States, and we had
every reason to believe that those Iron rams were
intended to break the blockade of the Southern ports,
which had been established. Now, it seemed to me
that If those vessels were allowed to proceed from
the port ,of Liverpool the utmost danger to the'
friendly relations existing between this country
and the United States would have been the re
sult I could not oonoelve it possible that the
United States would have allowed those armed
vessels to break the blockade, which bad been ac
knowledged by the authorities of this country, and
sot make demands with whieh we might not have
found ourselves able to comply. X therefore took
what was a very strong measure on this subject. I
ordered those rams to be detained, and afterwards
directed that they should he seized for the purpose
pf.preventing them from committing acts of hos
tillty. We subsequently had placed In our hands
the oontraot by which the agents of the Confederate
Stateß had agreed to sell those rams' to M. Bravay,
who said, they were not Intended for purposes of
hostility against the United States. The ques
tion, however, remained to be tried, and we came to
the conclusion that, though the moral evidence was
complete, and though we believed the legal evi
dence to be complete, there might still be circum
stances whloh. would prevent a oonvlotlon from
being obtained. I am, however, convinced tbat It
would not only have been unfortunate, but that It
woojd havo boon an Ignoble and Ignominious thing
If we had-been obliged to go to war, not for the
honor of England, beeause that was. not engaged;
not for the f nterests of England, because they woro
not involved, but for the sake of private considera
tions, where ho Injustice had been done.”. ;
THB MBW MIHI6TBB A»D BIS SBOOSD.
The Earl expresses a great desire that the diffi
culties to which he has referred may not and in
greater ones, and thus details his hopes from the'
new minister, Sir F. Bruce, who arrived at Now
York yesterday;
“ To-morrow a new minister will set out from this
country to represent her Majesty at Washington.
Sir E. Bruoe, who Is about to take this place, has
distinguished himself greatly by the firmness df hts
pclloy., He has acted In sucha manner towards the
Chinese Government as completely to win their
eonfidenoe, while his conduct towards the repre
sentatives of the other European Powers has been
such as to-obtain their concurrence in every step
whieh he has taken. Towards the British interests
in China he has so acted that, while willing to listen
to their eomplainteand to obtain redress for their
just grievances, he has never shown himself pre
pared to support their unreasonable demands,
That being so, he appears to me to be exactly the
man whom It Is desirable her Majesty should choose
to represent her In the United States, and I hope
that under fals auspioes the friendly rotations be
tween the-two countries will be maintained.”

Nbw York, April 7,1866.
THE KHARS
are to commence their engagement at the Broadway
Theatre on Easter Monday, and a very rational
effort is being made to bespeak for them an enthusi
astic' reception. The manager has advanced his
scale of prices to a degree which seems nearly pre
posterous, and appeals to a “ liberal public ” to sus
tain him in his sudden and unparalleled flight
among the summits of financial absurdity. There
is to he an auction sale of seats and boxes at the
theatre on Monday.
AJIUSBMEHTS IS GKKBBAt,

Lord Derby’s version of Homer, announced by
Scribner & Co. Much stress 1b laid upon Dsau Mil
man’s commendation of this work. Marion Harland

Homes,” This is the fifth of her literary ventures.
THB “DICTATOR”
Is again up before the public for judgment. So much
pro and con has been said about this mammoth ram,
that any new testimony bearing directly upon the
question of her efficiency Is welcome. Thlstime the
Witness Is no less a personage than Commodore
.John Rodgers, and his evidence Is; emphatic. He
says: • . . ,
„ “The Dictator .steers beautifully; she can turn
round imthree'or four times her length,
“ She is easy and buoyant In all her movements.
“ The officers are some of them enthusl mlo In
their encomiums of the vessel’s qualities; and I do
nothnow an exception to their high praise.
“Her highest speed, measured by log; was nine
and a quarter knots ; her highest speed through
the water was probably ten knots.”
The -almost uniform acerbity which has charac
terized the criticisms offered since the day or her
launching, and the posltivencss with which her
efficiency and inefficiency have been respectively
urged through the public prints, have served to.
confuse the general mind. There Is something
very singular about this -endless contest, and Its
settlement seems as remote as ever.

Boston Boot itud Shoe market, April S.
The Shoe and ■ Leather Reporter says: Another quiet
week Is to be recorded Inthe boot and shoa imruel- a
few orders are received from the West and Soushwsst,
but only for immediate wants. The exciting newß of
ibis week has, brought atfoperstions to astacd-atlU.
but tbe successes of our army will inspire the mercau
tllo community with, confidence and help to end the
panic which has existed for the past few weeks. The
shipments of.shoss are very smaurthose from Boston
f° r -tt-e pastthree moot; e amounting to 1*2,73t aaainat
1 60,466 for the fijst quarter of 18S4, and befngths smallest
.amount shipped during the first quarter of any vear
since 1858-when we first commenced qur, tables, except,
lug lEO2. when they were 102,109 cases,' A great many
goods which were cent to Western and ether cities by
cur-manufaetursrs last fall and summer to be sold on
commiselon-are still on those markets, and this fact
together with the Increase of manufacturing in the West,
partially accounts for the dull spring trade.

MAornmoßHT Stock op Bovs’ Olotbino.—The
readers of The Press need hardly be apprised of the
fact that the very 'foremost establishment la the
United States for gentlemen to procure the best
style of fashionable Clothing, either ready-made or
made np to order, is at the celebrated Brown Stone
Clothing Hall of Messrs. Rockfilll & Wilson, Nos.
60S and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth. This Is a
fact so obylous that any gentleman, Horn the Presi
dent and his Cabinet down to the humblest citizen
in the walks of private life, cannot fall to appreciate
It on entering their spacious warerooms and exami
ning their princely stock of garments. But our
reason, more particularly, for referring to this house
to-day is to inform the publlo that they have fluently
revived, reorganized, and greatly extendecMhelr
Youths’ Clothing Department. The gentleman who
now presides at the head of this branch of their
business Is acknowledged to be without a rivalin hi*
profession, and every parent in this community who
desires to see ids boys dressed in the best taste, in
suits at once stylish,,well made, weH fitting, and
durable, and at the same timiaat reasonable charges,
should not fan to patronize the Youths’ Department
of Messrs. Boekbill it Wilson, we have taken
pains to Inspect their splendid steak, and can there
fore speak by the oard, and when we Bay that their
etoek of .Boys’ Clothing la the largest, choicest,
mostvarled, and meat desirable In. every respeet
offered In Philadelphia, we are simply stating a
popular truism, Be sure and give them a o»U befote

that with tbediwshlng ont of the rebellion, and the

tienixing of the habits, oustoms, and Ideas of the
Am ei lean people, arising from the Increased wisdom
and experience which the last four yews hare do
veloped, and the general tendenoy of nations as
they advance In age to adopt suoh periodic ohangeß
end modifications as the times demand. Without
attempting to particularize these prospective
changes, there Is one essential point which ought
not to be overlooked, and that Is the American maae
of Eetir.g. Wo all know what a salient sonitie of
