Retolved, That the Connolls oi the city of Philadel
phia deem it Incumbent on thorn, in view ot the
dane-or tbat now appears to be aram threatening the
salotv of tbe Government, in consequence of tbe
usurpation of a man whoso solo eflorts appear to be
directed to overruling; the will of the people, as ex
pr Mod by their K'prctentatives In Congress assem
bled, and centralism all power in bis own person,
to heartily meorse the po icy ot the Union members
of Congress, and thus, while per'ormlng their sworn
duty, to encourage tbem to persevere- in thoir noble
eftVrta to establish firmly the old Ualon upon a
foundation indestructible by traitors or wicked
nsnrpers.
Jieaotvtd, That Andrew Johnson, the accidental
President of the United Stat, while assertin by
word ot mouth his undyinir love lor the Union, his
intense hostility lo tiaitors, and his abhorrenoe ot
treason, has nnifoimi'y bown by hi acts that his
sympat bin are in accord with the crime and crimi
nals be denounces, and control his policy to prevent
a speedy restoration of the Union.
Mabket ritiCES. The statements pub
lished in the newspapers of this and other
places, as to the destructive lisease no raging
amonir cattle and hogs, have very much de
creased the tales of beef and pork, and as conse
quence lowered the prices of those articles. The
effect is more apparent with pork than beef. It
is selling both wholcsalo and retail at almost
any price. So that ihcy get rid of it, the dealers
are willing to sell, even at a sacrifice to them
selves. The quotations for to-day are as follows:

Remtukable Display of Auroia BorealU
on Febrnaiy 21st An Official Report
liom the Dudley Observatory.
During a portion of laBt night and this
mornioR, a peculiar aurora appeared in the
northern heavens. At 12 P.M. of the 201 h an
auroral cloud was visible near the northern
horizon, and occasional streamers were given
off from the cloud, being mostly confined to
the east and west limits. But it w as not until
5 A-M.cn the 21st that we noticed anything
unusual in this phenomenon. At that time a
black anroral cloud lay piled up in the north,
extending along the horizon about 120 degrees.
This cloud increased in darknecs as we ap
proached the horizon, and we have reason to
believe it was an auroral cloud, since the sky
was perfectly clear, and not a smglo vapor
cloud w as visible in any portion of the heaven.
This cloud bad an altitude of about SO degress
on the meridian, and the upper margin was
fringed with the auroral light, forming at times
a complete arch.
The streamers or flakes of liirht were thrown
off from the northeast and northwest ends of the
cloud with astonishing rapidity. We estimated
the motion from the horizon to the r.enlth at less
than the one-tenth of a second of time.
At 6h. lCm. the streamers seemed to )et in one
constant stream from the northwest and north
east portion of the cloud, while all along the
north the auroral arch threw off waves of light
every two or three seconds.
At this time it was truly a grand and magnifi
cent phenomenon. Ihese detached flakes lortned
in such a rapid stream from the cloud as almost
to bewilder one in trying to follow tbem.
At to. 20m. the flakes and streamers continued
to appear and disappear in remarkably quick
succession. And occasionally an immense wave
of light wa rolled from tliev whole northern
horizon and disappeared in the zetii th.
At 6b. 80m. the aurora continued, but with
not such striking characteristics.
In tbe enrly evening until nearly 8 o'clock the
skv was clear and tbe moon shone with unusual
brilliancy. About this tim a snow squal sud
denly came up, which continued for halt an
flour" or longer. This squall was accompanied
wiih a violent gust of wind from the northweit.
Immediately preceding this squall the register
ing and printing barometer showed a sudden
rise of 000 inches in less than three miautes.
The barometer continued to rise until noon of
the 21st. when its height was 30'.TT inches.
That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon
is pretty generally admitted; but whether it ha
anv connection with the atmospheric pressure
and the fluctuations of the barometer has not
jet been fullv determined. II.

An Adroit Bobbery An Express Messen
ger llobbcd ot $10,000.
An adroitly plannpd and boldly excuted rob
bery occurred at St. Louis, ou Saturday morn
ing, the victim being a messeneer of ihe United
States Express Compauy named George Miller,
and the amount of money carried off about forty
thousand dollars. There hnd arrived at the
Express Office a package addressed to H. C.
Davis, No, 131 N. Third street. The messenger
?roceedcd to deliver the package, and ascending
he stairs at the number inaicaled, found at the
door of a room at the extreme end of the build
ing a small sign board, bearing the name of H.
C. Davis. He opened the door and entered the
room, and saw three men walking or standing
near a table at the stove, with their faces turned
from him. lie had taken but two or three steps
in the room, when some one seized his arms
from behind, elTectually preventing him
from drawing a revolver or otherwise defending
himself, and. pressed a knee to the small of his
back, bending him backwards at the same in
stant. The three men in the room sprang to the
assistance of their confederate, one of whom
threw a handkerchief over his eyes to blindfold
him, and all lending their assistance to hold him
down, ho was so effectually gagged and blind
folded, and his feet and hands securely bound.
The garroters then took possession of bis bag
containing the packages intruoted to his care,
and proceeded to divide the contents among
themselves. This operation was evidently per
formed under some excitement nud in great
haste, as one package, containing ten thou
sand dollars, was lot in the bottom of
the bag. being partially concealed by the book
ot the messenger. Several of small amount,
amonc them the one addressed to Davis, wero
dropped on the floor, and one of $ JOOO in Miller's
pocket was left uudisturbud; In all, about$l6,000
was.leit behind. Having taken all they (ound,
and made their division, the robbers cautiously
took their departure one by one, their victim
being bound and helpless on the flnor. After
tho robbeis hnd left the room, Mr. Miller got the
gag out of his month and shouted for assist
ance, when others having rooms in the building
came to his relief, and quickly unbound him.
The messenger and others immediately ran
down stairs, but their eager questions tailed to
elicit aav information as to any persons having
passed out of the bmldtne, and, as Miller was
blindfolded ro quickly as to prevent his getting
more than a glimpse or any ot tne party, tncre
is but little hope of the arrest of the robbers.
The packages left on the floor were gathered
up and carried, by the messenger, to the Express
unico, the omcersor which estimate tne amount
carried off at $40,000, one package alone con
taining $12,000. That the robbery was a delibe
rately planned ati'air was established beyond a
doubt by tbe opening, at the Express office, of
the package addressed to Davis, which had been
dropped Dy tne roDDeis. ii was seui irom Aiion,
and was marked $75, but was found to contain
only counterfeit bit Is. This vie w is also corrobo
rated by the fact that on Thursday a package
was received from Mexico. Missouri, addressed
to Charles Ploffman, at the same number. The
messenger who took that delivery went to tho
room, where he found a pasteboard sign hearing
tbe name of Ploffman, but, as no one was in the
room, the package was returned to the Express
office to be called for. This package was also
opened, ana found to contain only counterfeit
Dins.
About Advertising.
It was the remark of a very eminent Bo3-
tonian that be regarded au advertisement In a
aper as a personal invitation extenaaci to
iim to call, and added; "While I sometimes
hesitate about entering a store tne prsprietors
of which have not thus sent their cards to my 1
residence, 1 always feel certain ot a cordial
welcome from tbe members of an advertising
firm." There is in this remark an assurance ot
one of the many results of advertising. The
trader and h!s calling become identified, and
the came of a man is inseparably connected in
the mind of the publio with his merchandise.
It may not be the very day an advertisement
appears tnat it bears its truit; weeks or montbs
may elapse, and then whoa the want arises, tbe
article to be obtained Immediately suggests the
advertiser. This is the effect of general ad
vertising when persistently followed. A special
clues of advertising, where some novelty i9 an
nounced, is more immediate.
A shrewd business man once advertised a trilling
article in a manner which could scarcely prove
remunerative, ills ncmuuora espressca tbeir
reuret ct hia folly, but he apneared contented.
Though his gross sale of the article lid not cover
tbe cost ot his advertising, nj attracted a new
class of people to his store, and his shrewdness
paid him m a short time, for new eyes aw whut
he had to nCer In addition to the specialty adver
tised, and new purses came undor contribution
to him.
The object which all aim to accomplish in ad
vertising is mi increase of business. The nimble
shilling is what we require 1 this age. It cor.ts
very little more in the way of expense to carry
on a business pf two hundred tbousaud dollars
tban it requires to do half t'.iut amount. The
cos-t of rent, personal liviug, and many inci
dental expenses, do not Increase in the ratio of
bm-luess, while time is saved; lor there la ereater
probt resulting Irom a trade of two hundred
thousand in one year than Irom the same
amount, and even more, extended over twice
the space of time. These simple facts are well
known by energetic business men, who adopt
advertising as the most powerful method of
saving time, by incrcasin? business, and thus
making capital doubly active. Indeed, It Is
often made a substitute tor actual capital.

' The Caiccr of a MMtm Abont Town,"
The death or General Cbarrctie in London, in
bis eighty-third year, has furnished plenty ot
table-talk in St. James street and Pall MalL
Beared la a looee school, thnt of thirty years
neo, the General shared in all the sport and
pastimes of the watering places. In all manly
pursuits be excelled, being a dead shot, a bold
rider, a still bolder better, a clever poet, and a
skilful musician. As a companion none could
be more amuting, and his tanqfrotd was
amnisinsr. Once when shooting In Hertfordshire,
where be had hired a manor, be tretpasse.d on
the estate of a deceased nobleman. The keeper
remouitrated with him in vain, and at last
one rooming, while out with his master,
he heard the General blazing away at tho
phearants in an adjoining cover, and directed
his lordship's attention to him. The latter,
naturally Irritated beyond measure at the occur
rence, derlred his keeper to go and turn him off,
and (hoot one of his doit, and atded, as he was
hurrying away to obey him: "Here, you had
beiter take my pony, and then you will get back
quicker." And he banded to him, at the same
time, a very fnvorite shooting pony, for which
he would not have taken any money. The
keeoer.cantcrlng away on him, soon came up with
the General, and told him to ceise flying, for if
be did not, be should have to kill one of his dogs
by his lordship's orders. "Very well," replied
the General, "one ot my does is an old one, and
the otber a young one; you bad better shoot the
oldest; but fntnd, if you do, I shoot your pony;
and, as I am not sure where my manor finished,
1 don't seo why I should go away."
The keeper, rendered more irate than ever by
this cool speech, shot the dog instantaneously ;
but. before be could turn round, the treasure of
a pony was only lit for the next kennel. Then
addresing the terrified keeper he said, "If you
tboot neain, the next barrel is for yourself." But
the servant would stop to listen to nothing else,
and took to his heels to tell his master, who could
not understand bis not riding back on the pony,
and wa horrified at his fate. Beiore, however,
be could resolve in bis own mind what course
li should adopt towards the General, he was
Etill more mrprised at receiving a challenge from
the General for the insult that had been offered
him by tbe shooting of his setter. Of course "the
r.oLle lord" did not accept it. for the tame of his
antagonist hnd reached him; but, to prevent
lurther annoyance, concessions were made, and
tbe aflalr in time blew over.
Among other natural advantages the General
was gifted with an extraordinary memory, and
a lew years back, for a large bet, ho related the
w bole contents of the Morning Fost, from the
date to the publisher's name, without making a
single error. He was a great lover of Shake
speare, and far beyond the average stamp of
amateurs who interpreted him. The turt, bil
liards, or a pigeon sweepstakes he loved. He
showed no mercy to a Derby favorite which he
did not like, and he had in his time some mira
culous escapes. "Gorhamhury" was the only
race-horse he ever owned, and with him, who
started at one thousand to fifteen, he ran second
to "Contberstone," beating "Gaper," "British
leoman," and a number of good horses; and
had he won, he remarked, '.'there would have
been corn in Egypt."
A Letter from F rederika Bremer
The lollowing letter of the Swedish authoress
is received It does honor to her memory":
"Abbta, December 10, 1865. Mr. Campbell,
United States Minister My Dear Sir:
I hope that yu have enoyed yourself, and the
scenery in the picturesque country ot Norway.
I hope also that you and dear Mrs Campbell
have, in Stockholm, this autumn, assisted in
this very dramatic period of Swedish Bocial and
political life, whose Urst part ended happily and
beautifully the 7th of December in the house of
the nobility. As true republicans, lovers ot
civil equality, in social and political rights, you
will have enjoyed it. The reference made in the
King's openinv speech to the Diet, to the work
of public education as the thing to do, in order
to give a sure foundation to tho freedom and
welf are of the nation, supported as this opinion
is by his Ministers, and especially by the noble
minded statesman Louis de Geer the author of
the now accepted relonns of our representation
shows a higb consciousness of both the eim and
tbe means of social development.
"What do the leading minds of your great coun
try give as a programme for their aims and
eflorts, at tho opening of this new great period
of lilointhe New World? I do hope and ex-
Eect that their programme will not take a less
Igb-minded view of a people's lile and true
giandcur than the Government of thia little
realm. And oh, how much more difficult is the
work of civilization in your land, encum
bered aa it is' with millions of souls
who are still to bo redeemed from tne
bondaee of Ignorance and inexperience
in the lights and duties of social man. What a
power of good will and active work is needed
there 1 I should feel happy if yeu could tell me
whHt is going on, what is done and doine in this
line in the United States in behalf of the slave
population and the poor people of the, Southern
States. '
"Is It not wonderful iind providential that
South Corolina, which was the first to raise- the
standard ot revolt for secession and slavery,
should be forced to tlx the last seal to the law
which makes union and freedom the laws 'of
each and all in your great realm ?
"I congratulate you with heart and soul that
it is done. 'Praise uuto God, peace on earth,
and good will unto human kind.' The victory
won in America for the principles of human
rights and Christianity is one of the greatest, it
not the greatest known in history. You will
not, I expect, nor will Mrs. Campbell, quarrel
with me about this. Yours faithfully,
"Fbebebika Bbkmer."
"P. S. My address here is Osterhanlnge, Arsta,
but Stockholm will do likewise. Arsta is a fine
Id country place, three Swedish miles frjni
Stockholm (21 English), with a house built dur
ing the Thlity Years' war.and with the character
of middle age architecture. It was the home ol
my childhood and young years; it is now, thank
God, the calm port where I hope to spend the
autumn of my lite, and where I should feel
hannv to be allowed, some summer's dav. to
oiler you the hospitality of a Swedish form and
country house." . .

A Change In Hungary. ,
Governor Kossuth has probably read, with
singular emotion, the accounts ol the enthusl
bfVc leeeption given to Francis Joseph and hie
wile by the magnates of Hungary. The imperial
condescension displayed in a personal vis:t to
Peeth was acknowledged with evidences of pro
lound gratitude by the Primate i.nd the leading
nobles, Ihe lormer havlnp officiated as spokes
man lor his brethren. The Emperor's Mpeoch
was greeted with loud crte of "Lllen 1 Eljen !"
ihe snme salutation which once stlrtvd the
heart of Kossuth when he inveighed against
Francis Joseph and incittd Hungary to rebel
bon. The Fmprtss having been personally ad
dressed by the Primate, replied:
"A heartfelt wish ol mine has been fulfilled
by my beinjr able to accompany my illustrious
consort to the capital of Hungary. I have a
sincere liking tor the Inhabitauts of this noble
country. As I warmly sympathize with them,
and like to be in the midet of them, the hearty
congratulations of the magnates and deputies of
the people afford me great pleasure." A
Eighteen years have sonc by since Hungary
made it Brand defiance of the House of Maps
burg, and fiew to irras in defense of Its nation
ality, arid during this time the Emperor seems
to nave learned wisdom. His recent grantj oi'
privileges to the Hungarians and his new de
clarations of respect lor constitutional rights,
coupled w ith some expressions ot personal in
terest and his journeys Into Hungary, allay dis
affection and rroduce these loyal manifestations,
lie Is lorced to this course by the necessity of
conciliation and economy in administration, so
that his tribute to the popular will is probably
given grudgingly against all tbe traditions ot h9
house: but the result appfars so sati.slactorv to
tbe Hunnarians IhemKelves. that Jhey show no
inclination to question the means by which it
was produced. Meanwhile, Koasuth remains in
