OBITUARY.
MRS. MARY ROBERTS.
The faithful mother, the sincere friend, the
living Christian, has passed from earth. A long
life of usefulness has closed, a life which from its
•earliest period was devoted to duty, became sanc
tified by Christian charity.
Her heart and home were ever open to those
who needed her care: the poor and wretohea .-Al
ways found in her a friend. -
Not only her children will rise up and call her
blessed, but have reason to call her Mother.
During a painful illness,her constant thought was
for others. Her light did indeed shine before men,
and will beam more brightly in the presence of
the Lord. She will indeed hear the summons,
“Well done, good and faithful servant,enter into
the joy of thy Lord.”
. May the- influence of her bright example be
sanctified to her family, and though she has
passed from our sight, ‘may she live in our re
newed lives. -
The world is not a fleeting show,
For man’s illusion given,
She that hath soothed a widow’s woe, .
Or wiped an orphan’s tear, doth know;
There’s sometelng here of Heaven.

|Vs*=»TfciE UNION BENEVOLENT ASSOUIA-
IkS TION—-The Poor and ttxe Season.—On
behalf of the poor of the city the managers of
the Union Benevolent Association are compelled
to make a second appeal for the season for funds.
It was hoped that the mildness of the winter and
the activity of trade would have made a second
appeal unnecessary; but the enormously increased
■cost of every article of living and especially of
fuel) has laid burdens upon tha poor which
calls for greater liberality towards them; and
our treasury is empty. Notwithstanding the appa
rent prosperity abroad there is an under eurrent
of suffering which is our duty to search
out and relieve. The labor of working-men is well
remunerated; but that of poor sewing 'women is
sot, except in special cases. We know of those
who, working late and early, earn but $2 00 per
week; who make common shirts for 8125, and
drawers for SI 00 per dozen. Men control their
wages by banding together and demanding an in
crease of pay, but there seems to be no redress for
women, who are wholly in the power ot their em
ployers. When it is asserted, therefore, that
labor is abundant, &c., we point to this
class of sufferers, and ask for them and those de
pendent Upon them the sympathies of the public.
mu3t reminded, however, that it is
who are able to labor that our charity

ENLISTMENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
FOR OTHER STATES.
IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION FROM GOVER
NOR CURTIN.
In the ramp and by the authority of the Common*
■wealth ol Pennsylvania.
ANDREW a- ouninr,
ctuiertioroi inesaid Commonwealth.
A PKOCLAiIATI.Ok.
nhfras, For some time past it has been known
that persons, professing to be agents of other
States,have been busily tampering with onr citi
zens at home and .in the army, endeavoring, by
lalse representationa to induce individuals to en
ter dr re-enter from those States, and remonstran
ces have been in vain made against the continu
ance of this paltry system of seduction,
■And 1 t'Aercas, Information has now been received
that one of the regiments of Pennsylvania has en
listed almost, bodily as from another State; and it
appears to be necessary to take some public means
to put onr citizens on their guard against the arts
by which results so disastrons to the men andtheir
families may be effected in others of her regiments
which Pennsylvania has delighted to honor,
Jt'cic, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do issue
this, my proclamation, addressed to all citizens of
the commonwealth, but especially and emphati
cally to her veterans in the army, cautioning them
against allowing themselves to be seduced from her
service. By enlisting in regiments of other States
they deprive their families at home ot that generous
and liberal aid which our law has provided for them
as aright, and not as a charity, they will not en
joy the right of sulfrage which an aDproriching
amendment of the Constitution will give to our ab
sent volunteers,they ent themselves loose from the
ties which bind them to their homes, and which
binds Pennsylvania to give them constant care and
assisiance in the field, an obligation which our
S ate has never neglected. It wounded or sick, they
will no longer be fostered by our agents, and re
ceived with applause and consideration as men who
have done honor to Pennsylvania; thev bring the
history of their regiments to an abrupt close; th-ir
names will no longer be entered on our rolls; all
the glorious recollections of their valor and suffer
ings will be weakened by the tact that they have
abandoned their native State; deserted the
great Commonwealth under whose ban
ner they have earned for them
selves and for her the highest reputation for
courage and all the martial virtues, and that they
have done this under inducements which are in
fact unfounded, and at the very time when their
friends and neighbors at home were preparing for
them bounties probably iiirgcr than those offered
by other States, and certainly much larger, if the
snppoit afforded to their families be taken into ac-'
count.
I therefore appeal to onr noble volunteers not to
abandon the Commonwealth. She has been proud
of the glory which their course hitherto has shed
abundantly on her. As a mother she has a right
to the honors to he won in fntnre by her children.
Stand by her, and she will stand by you, and you
will have the richest reward in the grateful affec
tions and sympathies of - your families, your
friends, your neighbors and yonr fellow-citizens.
But if you leave her for the service of other
Stales you throw away all these, for their peo
ple will regard you merely as mercenaries, and
when they have fulfilled their bargains, will
leave you and yonr families to shift for your
selves. Becollect your homes and yonr fam
ilies and yonr friends and the banners which
you have carried so gloriously upon many a
bloody field, and which, defaced by shot and
shell, but still hearing the names or the battles in
TOhich you have been distinguished* sh© has pro-
Tided for receiving at the close of the war, and pre
serving as holy relics of your patriotism and devo
tion to the cause of onr. common country. These
things are worth more to you and to yourchildren
than money. Bo not grieve and disappoint yonr
friends by abandoning them all.
I take this occasion to enjoin upon all Magis
trates, Bistriet Attorneys and other officers, a
strict vigilanee in enforcing the laws of this Com
monwealth against all persons who shall within
this State attempt to recruit volunteers for other
States— .

LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIAN.
Portland, February 25.—The steamship
Hibernian has arrived from Liverpool, with
dates to the lltE inst., and advices via Lon
donderry to the 12th.
• The Damascus, from Portland, arrived at
Londonderry bn the 12th.
The Bhip Adelaide, from Liverpool for New
York, had put back.
There is nothing important from Schleswig.
The Post says that England has proposed an
armistice preparatory to a Conference. It is
supported by France, Russia and Sweden.
In Parliament the Earl of Derby attacked the
Governmental policy in regard to the Alabama
and Laird rams, aria insinuated that the latter
was seized under American menaces. He
moved for the production of the papers relative
thereto.
Earl Russell defended the Government and
declined to produce the papers pending the
legal inquiries.
Schleswig, Feb. 11 It is stated that the
Danes have evacuated their works at Duppeln,
and embarked their stores and war material to
Alsen.
London, Feb. 12.— The Post, states that the
basis of England’s proposition for an armistice
is the evacuation of Schleswig, except tkelsland
of Alsen, by the Danes.
The Richmond correspondent of the London
Tunes, asserts that where one slave is now
fighting for Lincoln, ten slaves will btf found
fighting for the South.
The reply of Napoleon to the letter from the
Queen of Spain, announcing the marriage of
the daughter of the Due de Moutpeusier to the
Count de Paris, is said to be couched in very
affectionate terms.
The January mails from the West Coast of
Africa have been received. Trade was gene
rally dull. The news is unimportant.
The London Times City Article says—
“ Whether the rate of discount by the Bank of
England,will be more permanent than the last
similar reduction on the 24th of December,
which it was found necessary to retract in three
or tour weeks, must be a doubtful ques
tion. The probability is that if the
war symptons thicken, the contrac
tion that will occur, especially in the
German trade.*coupled with the withdrawal of
credits and the exercise of general prudence,
may cause a further diminution of the pressure
to be witnessed. Some-letters from Germany
to-day state that an increased sense of internal
complications and external dangers, to which
the country may bo driven by ;the present
course, is beginning in several quarters to be
come manifest.
The London Times regrets the heavy loss
sustained by the British force in the New Zea
land battle, but tays the results wore most im
portant. Ho much so that the leading
among the natives,.William Thompson, wished
to offer his submission to the General, immedi
ately after the struggle, and was only prevented
doing so by the determination of his few re
maining followers.

The Spring Trace—First Quality Dry
Goons.—All the readers of the . Bulletin have
teen familiar, for years, with the advertisements
of Messrs. EyreALandell, corner of Fourth and
Arch streets. For the last quarter of a century
this firm has been established at that locality, and
with each year they have endeavored, anal, if we
may judge, succeeded, in making their establish
ment more attractive than the last. They have
now the following’ departments well stocked for
the spring of 1E64: Silk Department, Shawl De
partment, Dress Goods Department, Mourning
Department, Cloth Department, Hosiery and Glove
Department, "White Goods Department, House Fur
nishing Department. Their wholesale rooms are
in the second story, and buyers will find it con
ducted as handsomely as the retail departments.
Among their stock will always be found, among
other goods, plain geode suitable for Friends' wear,
of tbe very best qualities. It is scarcely necessary
to S’ate these facts to those who have been familiar
with the city trade, hut those who are from a dis
tance may thank us for directing themvto this emi
nently well-ordered and enterurising establish
men t. Visitors to the corner of’ Fourth and Arch
streets will always find that the goods offered are
of the best fabrics and perfectly souifd. Such baits
as damaged or inferior articles are never offered
here, nor will any customer ever receive leas than
full value for the money expended. Dealing thus,
Messrs. Eyre A Landfill have never failed to com
mand the very best trade, and it is their study ever
to maintain the high character, they have so ac
quired.
The Youktowe Shell.— Mayor Henry has
received the -following letter from Brigadier-
General Isaac J. Wistar, relative to the shell
fonn d at Yorktown, a statement of which appeared
in the Bulletin cf yesterday:
Headquarters U. 5. Forces* Yorktowri , Va., Feb.
iCtt, IS<>4.—Hon. Alexander Hunky, Mayor of
the City of Philadelphia—Bear Sir: I hare the
honor to request the acceptance by the corporate
anthorities of the (city of Philadelphia, of one
thirteen (13) inch mbrtar shell just exhumed from
the terre-plein of the old Fort Yorktown, by a
fatigue party working on the present fortifications.
From its position in relation with the lines of
attack and defence during the siege by the allied
army in October,'l7Bl, it was undoubtedly fired
from the right or American batteries of General
Washington’s second parallel at that time, and.
imbedded itself inside of Lord-Cornwallis’s works
without explosion. All vestige of the iuse has
disappeared but the charge remains. It has been
well drowned and is.believed to be inexplosive.
If it belongs to any one irmust be the old Conti
nental Congress, which it is believed has no
use for it. i have therefore taken the
liberty of sending it to the city of Philadelphia,
where tbeir last session was held, and respectfully
suggest that it be placed in Independence Hall
with the other relics there collected of colonial and
revolutionary days.

your obedient servant, ISAAC J. WISTAE.

INTERESTING FROM THE RIO GRANDS.
[Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat. ]
\anßurkn, Ark., Feb. 21.—Aseout from the
Rio Giande-country has made his way through
Texas and Arkansas, and arrived here to-day.
Since the arrival of our forces on the Rio Grande,
the State of Tamaulipas, near Brownsville, has
had five different governors. Governor Serrohas
just been compelled to vacate in favor of a governor
named Ruis, of the Juarez party, andCoriinas is
now tryißg to force Ruis out. JuaTez, the Presi
dent ol the Republic, was at Saltillo a few days
ago, on his way to Monterey. From there he will
probably gotoM&tamoras, and will endeavor to
reach Brownsville and claim protection of the
United States forces.
Our troops are gradually extending their lines
and the Mexicans appear very friendly. We have
a force at Indianola and Oavalle.
The forces ol Governor Ruis, State of Tamauli
pas, and of Cortinas, had a lively light on the 12th
nit. Governor Rnis notified Gen. Herron, com
manding the Federal forces on the Rio Grande,
that be could not protect the United States Con
sulate, and Pierce, the Consul, begged Gen. Her
ron to send a force to take care of him. Gen.
Herron took the responsibility, and went into
Hatamorns while the fight was going on, with
four companies of troops, and moved the Consul’s
family to Brownsville, bringing out at the
same time >1,000.000 in specie, that was deposited
with the consulate. Onr forces did not interfere
with the troops of either party, nor did they inter.
fere with ns. This movement may create some
hubbub, but it is conceded that General Herron
acted very properly, and that the invasion for the
purpose named did not conflict with the neutrality
laws. In the civil strife that is now going on in
the different States of Mexico, too much prudence
cannot he exercised, but General Herron hit the
nail on the head when he is reported to have said
that he did not see.anything wroag in stepping in
and helping onr consul out.
