There is now on exhibition, at•the agency '
of the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine
Company, Fifth street, a most costly and
elegant machine, which has been donated to
tbo Sanitary Fair, and which will be present
•d to Mrs. General flays or Mrs. Goners
Negley, as may be decided by the Mende of
those ladies, who wilt enprese their prefer
ences daring the Fair, by vote, at one dol

gently inlaid with pearl, and embellished
with oil paintings. It was manufactured at
at a cost of $2.50 00
Wo are pleased tolearn that Mr. Chatoney
Is doing a very prosperous business. Be eX•
plained to as she mat. points of merit claimed
by this machinist First, the peculiarity of the
stitch is each that It "fastens" itself, thee
avoiding the trouble of tying the end of every
seam to prevent "raveling out." This is an
important master, and economises much time.
Secoodly,the machine makes an elastic stitch,
which is all important in sawing a bun seam,
as the stitching yields with the cloth, while
the etitthing of other machines breaks when
the cloth is stretched. Sample of work are ex
hibited to p-ovo both these propositions to a
docoonstrouoa. Thirdly, It is claimed that
this is the only machine which wilt or can em
brolder4 The agent is so confident on this
'point, that he offers a reward of $5ll to any
gentlemen (or lady either) who will produce
him a look-stitch machine that will embroider.
He will pay that amount just to look at sueh a
machine. Then 46in, Masers. Grover k Baker
make the orris4nachine which uses hsts spools,
thus doing aw with the.bobbin, etc , entirely.
Then era son s, of the merits claimed for this
standard mac he, but there are other mate
rial points upo which we have not Lunched:

be fully and sltisfacterily demonstrated.

Letter from Fredericksburg
Corr andence of the P ittaburgh Gusts.
Faxesereelnu - ao, May 34, 1364.
EtTeton Queue: I lasted in my last that
Fredericksburg was about to be evacuated.
Sick ;pod wounded soldiers are now leering ae
fast as transports on the Rappahannock, and
the railroad to Acquia Creek, can carry them.
One train went out yesterday afternoon hay
ing an board no lose than 1,500 sick and
wounded soldiers. I think that every sick
and wounded man in this place will be in
Washington by to-morrow morning, so that
friends need not make say inquiry beyond
Washington.
On yesterday 'morning I saw Lieutenant
Cooper, Co. A, 102 d, going on board the Lit
ale Baker, bound for Washington. I met the
following at the same time, arms of whom
were reported killed in the late bailie' : John
Appoibee, Andrew Armstrong, W. H. Ayers,
Co. I, 102 d, and Lieut.-John .1. Bents, Co. A,
139th. They were all well, and give the same
account of the following, in regard to whom
isquiries have been made : Gee. W. Keifer
Co. A, 1024, Edwin hi. Kerr, Co. E, 139O1:
James McLaughlin, 102 d, and Geo. A. Spear,
Co. I, 139th.
Captain Kirkbrido died here on the 21st of
May. Nis body is to be embalmed, I believe.
William McMillan, Co. B, 139th, died on the
21st of May, and was buried' on the 224. J.
No Martin, 100th Pa.; (Round Read), died
sometime in May.
I could not learn anything about Lieut.
Cal. Dale, nor Isaac Harris, Co. D, 130. h re g •
intent, about whom numerous Inquiries have
been made.
A militaryeracustion,under the eireumetanr
*es which existed in Frodericlutbarg, is a vary
tordthieg. Bat it presenta, at the lame tine,
come very laughable scenes. Rare are
some of the worst eases: Numbers veers
dying every day of gangrene. On Sabbath
evening transports made their appearance at
the landing. Orders were tuned on Monday
to the physicians in chirp of the hospita l s to I
select their worst eases and tend them on
board. Oa the onnoUneement of this order
the most terrible groans went up from every
cot. Every man thought himself to be the
wont case, and, of course, a - great many dd.
fared with the physicians in their judgmeat
to regard to their condition. But in the af
ternoon a flank movement was made. Orders
were toned far every man that eould walk to
cross the river to Falmouth and take the
train to Acquia Creek. Then followed a live
ly arena. The morning prescriptions seem to
have posseseed medical virtue of fabulous
charms. Seme'of the wont eases were now
the most hopeful. The streets, in a chart
time, were one living stream of wounded
men. Soon hundreds of miserable little gro
cery stores and warehoueos were left tenant•
lees,tl suppose,) and the meant inmates 00T•
end the tills on the opposite side of the
Rappahannock. It was easily joyful to wit
ness the evactiatipu under the circumstances.
We- were never more delighted than to see
our poor fellows delivered from their filthy
beds. It would have been well if it could
bare been done sooner.
Bello Plain was mixes: fed Yesterday morn
ing. It is expected' that Acqata Creek will
bo abandoned as aeon as the emended men
era all taken to Washington.
Although the movements mentioned above
aro not legitimate 'abject/ for telegraphing, I
do not by any means think that they present
our case in an unfavorable aspect. General
Grant's headquarters are rupposed to be at
Bowling Green, or ip that neigborhood, which
is from twenty to twenty-five miles from
Fredericksburg and thirty-two from Belle
Plain. It would require a large number of
men to guard each a long line. Supplies oan
reach Port Royal with as much facility almost
as they can Belle Plaine, and then the dis
tance to the army will not be more than ten Sr
twelve miles. In my opinion it only 'means
that our base of supplies has been changed.
But it thews moreover, that ear army it pres
sing on towerd Richmond. Your correspon
dent will have to try some ether route to reach
the front. Some of the trains that went toot
on Sabbath, returned yesterday to Feeder
ickelarg.
It was Redly amusing to see the change
produced on the citizens by the transfer of our
wounded. Before lt commenced they could
only look at you through the chinks In the
door. During Its progress they appear in
their holiday attire, and express their ex
treme gretifintion that they will now be able
I to occupy their Own houses. In the very
height of it, howeVer, a very devoted female
I rebel hails the chief Medical Director of the
Sanitary Commission ' and asks boo, as a
special favor, as ho belongs to N- w York,
that he would exchange a New York State
note for a greenback, "se the Sate money iJ
murk been, then the Governmeot stormy." We
I feel glad that be did not do cat These low,
miserable, scum, staring rebate have been
fed at the crib of the Government and the
Sanitary Commission, and yet they would
stab them to the heart. I cannot take time,
end I am rot in the best frame for doing it
I if Leonid, to describe these spare of aristoc
racy, who are absolutely without *wealth,
I education, re finemeat and good manners.
There is a day of • reckoning for them, if the
Almighty le just- God will vita with fear
ful yet+ (Potion the men and Werner, who can
not chow sympathy for poor wounded soldiers.
Our wounded men would have suffered heal
bly if it hid not been for the Sanitary Com
minion. The Chrtmion Commission are do
ing a good work, but they have been depend
ent on the Sanitary Commission, to a large
extent, for a supply of stores. The Sabbath
school papers are very good in their place,
bat they will not .nourieh a sick man. I eat,
bear personal testimony to the fact that the
Solitary Commission giree the Christian
Comminion whatever they ask if they have
it. I have men numbers of the Christian
Commiesion draw largely on the sanitary
stores since I Came hero. In regard to stim
slants, about which I have seen some news
paper correspondence in Pittsbargit,the Chris
tian uses them as much as the Sanitary Com
mission. I am glad to see the two Cammts
sloes working so harmoniously. I think
they should set as helps to each other. The
Christian Commission bee had a very spent
supply of stores at Fredericksburg, for which
they have expressed their sorrow. The San.
bury Commission has dittributed as meny as
thirty wagons in one day.
When your correspondent is going to move
he cannot say. Next.

VIZ THHAHOHY INTZEITTO.I.TIOI.-COITILICIING
The evidence before the Treasury Investi
gation Committee Is, in some cases, of the most
conflicting nature. A leading roitrood man
and another prominent chianti of New York
swear positively to an attempt on the part of
a certain bank note oompany to bribe Mr.
Clarke to abandon the effort to print Govern
ment notes and bonds in the Department.
The PreAden( of this hank note oompany
swears directly and positively to the contrary.
SHI ALLIGZD
The evidence &boat the alleged immorali
ties in the private life of officials in the Print
lug Demean, 'consists almost wholly of the
affidavits of prostitutes, submitted to the
Committee by the detective who worked up
the case. The Committee has not decided
whether to summon there women or not. Ent
a single Indy employed to the Department
has been found to make any charge. of the
kind. She swears that on one occasion one
et the subordinate clerks in the Bureau wink
at her, and that smother time be made an
ambiguous remark to her which was suscepti
ble of an improper conatruetion.

I replied that I did not think that France
had a right to Infer that tee were about to
mak% war against her on ace not of anything

embodied nothing more than had been con

from the beginning ; that I had always rep.
restated to the tiorarnment here that any ac
tion upon their part interfering with the form
of government in Mexico would bo looked
upon with disSativtaction in our country, and
