OBITUARY.
TO THB HBXtOKT OT
TAOY F. LUKENS,
Who died March 10th, ISM.
Sound the low requiem! weep bitter tears,
Gone from our gaze is the cherished of years;
Crushed all the fond hopes, withered and fled!
Sadly we mourn for the beautiful dead.
Calmly awaiting the Saviour’s behest,
Pure as an angel, she passed to her rest;
Death’s gloomy valley for her had no fear,
For Jesus was with her the darkness to cheer.
Now with the ‘ ‘innumerable company’ ’ above,
Her heart gushing forth with rapture and love,
Hymning her voice in Bweet harmony the while,
Lives she forever m the light of God’s smile.
■One more bright jewel Christ’s diadem bears;
The crown of the saints on her own brow she
■wears;
In the white rohe of Christ’s Righteousness drest,
"With the redeemed ever more to be blest.
Then,mourner, look upward! the faith thine to feel
Ho affiiction’ts so grievous that Christ cannot heal.
Thy loved one hath gone with the angels to dwell,
And God in his wisdom • ‘doeth all things well. ”

The great movement now for a new demonstra

The circulars of both are'now before me. The

THE RELEASED UNION PRISONERS AT AN
NAPOLIS.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore American. 1
Annapolis, March 9,16dt.—0n Wednesday at
three o’ clock, the steamer City of New York ar
rived at Annapolis with 660 of our released sol
diers—among whom were forty-eight officers—
from the prisons of Richmond.* They left there on
.Monday, as a “proportionate amount” forthe
number of rebels forwarded from Point Lookout*
by General Butler. They tell the same stories as
are told by all ol onr men who come from there—
inhuman treatment at the hands of the rebel au
tborities.
A large number of the released prisoners are
Marylanders. Among the members of the 9th
Maryland is Sergeant Benjamin Swearer, the
color-bearer of the regiment, the man who first
raised the Stars and Stripes over Fort Clack, on
Hatteras Island, after its successful capture by
General Butler. The Sergeant brings with him
the glorions ‘ • Old Flag’ ’ presented to the regi
ment when at Cnarlestown, Vs., fly citizens of
Baltimore, where he and it were both afterwards
captured. When he was captured he secreted the
flag around his body under his clothing and carried
it to Richmond. While on .Belle Isle it was some
times buried or carried on his person, but always
secreted.
As the prisoners were transhipped at City Point
to the steamer City of New York, each-one was
searched by the rebel authorities, and poor Swearer
thought the time to part with his dear old flag had
at last come; but, after taking from him one or
two letters, he was allowed to pass. The flag now
looks as though covered with blood, the perspira
tion having run the colors together—the red into
tbe white.
The wildest excitemeßt existed in Richmond
on Sunday last in relation to the raid of General
Kilpatrick. The Urine; of guns could be dis
- tinctly heard by our men on Belle Isle, the die.
tance of the skirmishing from the city being, they
state, not more than amile and a halfortwomiles.
The rebels said that they had mined Libby Prison
and if the city fell into the hands of the Union
troops, they intended to blow the buildin to atoms
with all the ofllcers confined therein. The prison
ers captured during the late raid are most
inhumanly treated; and any of onr men
wearing the uniform of cavalrymen, are certain
to be knocked down wherever found, and beaten
by rebel soldiers. Threats are niade to hang all the
prisoners taken during the raid. >
Among the arrivals are three Colonels, four
Lieutenant Colonels, five Majors, sixteen Cap
tains, and twenty Lieutenants. There are also
nenriy two hundred non-commissioned officers
and privates of Maryland regiments,
several have been placed In bosnitals. After
wfl?lle‘se E iUtoOampPar f ol T e. a ° r two men
1 have been informed by a number of released
prisoners, that on Friday night last, a splendid
pointer dog belonging to one of the rebel officers
on Belle Isle, Lieut. Bossuet, was killed and part
ly devoured by three of our men, so craving was
their appetites. When the remains of their unfin
ished meal was found on Saturday morning a
great hubbub was raised in the camp, and when
the perpetrators of the canine murder were dis
compelled to march to the front

FROM THE' DEPARTMENT OF THE

THE ATTACH TOON MOBILE.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. 1
Blockading Fleet, off Mobile, Feb. 25,1864.
The meilar bouts sre still. bombarding Fort Pow
ell, assisted by the gunboats Calhoun,'Jackson,
. The flre from-the f OT t is
evidently failing, to judge from the spirited
manner jn which it first replied to the fleet on
the opening of the bombardment onTuesday laat.
we are looking for the surrender of the fort at
every moment, as it cannot hold out'long against
thevigorous fire directed upon it. Shells from the
gunboats and bombs from .the mortars can be dis
tinctly seen, striking and bursting in and over the
The mortar fleet and gunboats are inside Dan
phjn Island. Admiral Farragut, as I'stated
before in my last dispatch, is on the Calhoun.
«? J.® * nc ing at the map it will be seen'that the
Admiral probably intends silencing the guns of
xoit Powell, which commands Grant's Pass, for
*s® P nr P oSe of sending hismoßquito fleet through
JPass into the harbor of Mobile. By c oing so he
wul cut off Forts Gaines and Morgan.
The channel through Grant’s pass allows ves
sels drawing no more than seven and a half feet
to pass up, but those drawing more are compelled
po by Mobile Point and between Forts Gaines
and Morgan. This is done by vessels keeping iu
to tne sho»e going east, passing between.Petit Bois
Island and Dauphin Island, round the latter and
then between the forts into the harbor of Mobile.
An enemy’s vessel would be compelled to pass
under the guns of Fort Morgan, on account ox the
obstructions placed in the channel.
Fort Gaines cannot be approached on account of •
the shallowness of the water.
When Fort Powell sunenders Admiral Farragut
will have thirty miles to proceed before he can ar
rive at Mobile, nine of which are through a narrow
channel, with its banks fortified the whole dis
tance. Obstructions are again placed entirely
across the channel three miles from the city, in
such a way that vessels are compelled to pass
under the gnns of two iron-clad forts and ft battery
from the shore.
On the west side of Mobile a line of intrench
ments passes completely around the city, inside of
which are forts and powerful battertes. Indeed,
Mobile is defended very strongly at every point.
Spiles are driven in the channel, and a vessel
laden stone is ready to be sunk at any moment
to make the obstructions complete. ’
Admiral Farragut has, as yet, done nothing
against Forts Morgan and Gaines; and it is pro
bable that he will not attempt anything against
these powerful forts with ihe fleet be has here, as
the channel is very narrow, the buoys have all
been removed and obstructions placed in every
direction. *
Many believe that Mobile cannot be taken bv
water with this fleet, and that Admiral Farragut
will be compelled to return to New Orleans for
more powerful vessels.
The rebel ram Tennessee still lies in Mobile Bay
The following is published in the Mobile papers:
TO THB PEOPLE OP 3IOBILB.
i our city is about to be attacked by the enemy.
Mobile must be defended at e verv hazard and to the
last extremity. To do this effectively, all who
cannot fight must leave the city. The bmve de
fenders of the city can fight with more energy and
enthusiasm when they feel assured that the noble
women and children are out of danger. I appeal
to the patriotic and non-combatants to leavlfor
the interior. The pbople of the interior towns and
the planters in the country will receive and pro
vide support for all who go. The patriotic of the
city wul see the importance and necessity of heed
ing thi6 call. Those who love this city and the
glorious cause in which we flght will not hesitate
to ebey the call which patriotism makes.

Mobilb, Feb. 13, 1804. —J/y Dear Sir—l observe
little disposition on'the part of non-combatants to
leave Mobile. Please use every menus in your
power to induce them to do so without delay
The Governor of Alabama assures me that he will
take measures to secure to the people an asylum
in the upper region of country bordering the rivers
above here. I cannot believe that the kind and
hospitable people of Mobile, who have for years
been opening their houses to the homeless refugees
from other parts of the confederacy, wul fail to
receive ready welcome and kind protection during
the attack on their homes. Patriotism demands
that they lease the city for a while to those who can
defend it. Pmdence urge* that they make no un
necessary’ delay in going I will assist you here
with transportation. The GoTernor saye he will
make proper arrangements for their reception and
entertainmentaboTe. Very truly and respectfully

rROCLAKATION.
Mayor's OrvicK, Mom lb, Feb. 25, 1861.
Citutni t/ilclrilt: I have the honor to lay before
you tbe following communicaiion.addressed to me
by our C&mmandlng General, requeuing that I use
every means in my power to induce the non-com
batants to leave the city without delay. Fellow
citizens, onr city in ail probability, will be attacked
in, a very short Urns by the enemy. Yon cannot
doubt the propriety and pure motives of the
General in urging all non-combatants to leave im
mediately. The city may, and likely will be, be
sieged. Enough is known at least to make it pru
dent to prepare for the worst. You mustknowthat
if besieged the soldiery and citizens can be provided
for only for a certain length of time, and every
one who leaves it furnishes so much more food for
the eoldlbr. Onr Governor also requests that you
leave, and declares that he will use his large influ
ence in the interior for yonr comfort and protec
tion. Do not hesitate any longer, but go Immedi
ately. Transportation will be furnished you fer
the purpose. I feel confident that it is the lmpres
eicn of onr rulers that if our lovely city falls Into
the hands of the enemy it will be theresnlt of star
vation. Will you be instrumental in thie catas
trophe by standing In the way of protecting and
defending it 1 I believe not I feel confident that
If you take the advice of the General and Gover
nor, Mobile will be successfully defended, and
that ere long you may return in safety to your
hemes.' R. H. SLOUGH, Mayor.
I to a Te just seen a gentleman who arrived, from
Mobile. He gives me the following important
news:
Thirty thousand men, under the command of
Gen. Folk, left the city on the 15th Inst, for the
purpose of meeting and giving battle to General
Gherman, who was then reported eight miles from
Schubutah, with a division of his {army, thirty
thousand strong, advancing on Mobile, while an
equal number were advancing on Selma. The
cavalry officer, Gen: Stephen D. Lee, and Gen.
Loring, were in the rear of Gen. Sherman, the
former with a force ef six thousand cavalry, and
the latter with about eight thousand infantry.
General Forrest about the same time (15th) started
from La Grange, Tcnn., feran attack on Mem
phis.
The rebel ram Tennessee is said to he the most
powerful vessel in the world. She is plated with
six-inch iron and carries seven one hnndredponn
der Parrotts. The intention is to attack and de-
of mortars and gunboats attaching
Two of tbe guns whicli sunk the Monitor Keokuk
at Charleston are now mounted on Fort Morgan.
My informant states that there are now in the
city provisions for six months for thirty thousand
men, and they cannot bo taken either by land or
water with the army which will be there, should
it be compelled to fall back upon Mobile.
As soon as that portion of Polk’s army /which
was divided), arrived at Mobile from Domopolis,

OtJB WHOLE COUNTS V.
The pay of a cavalryman is thirteen dollars a
month. Hie horse costs more than that, but the
two together do uot cost per mouth more ih,w a
elerk’q or artisan’s pay . per week, or very little
more. The cavalryman, properly disciplined and
kept in hand, as few have been in this vicinity, is
an efficient soldier, capable of doing hard service
without injury to himself or the civil busi
ness of tbe country. What is more to the point,
he can intercept the raider, pursue him, cut him
off, follow him in all his dodges and windings, and
bring him finally to grief.
Bnt we are short of msn and horse*. True, yet
not so short ihat we canaet afford, for the protec
tion of onr Capital at least, one toll brigade of the
best cavalry in the service. If we are too weak
for this we are too weak to live, and ought to go
under. We are not too weak, however. The
men and the horses can be bad bv proper manage
ment and a little bead work.
This cavalry brigade need not be kept here
always. It can go to Gen. Lee in times of emer
gency. It can return whenever it is needed. It
can render material assistance in ascertaining with
certainty the movements of the enemy, and save
us from constant bellringing distractions and need
c»® tuterruptions of the public business. In fact,
;h 0 relative cost ot the brigade, as compared with

THE EEBEL PEESS AED THE UEIOH EAID

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE Hi

c ® clals °; the Government—who hare or-
Blay aDd lay waste the line of their
Th ® expectation was to enter Richmond
nl^iho*’ ai \ < ? the intention was immediately to ap
torcH. They were already prodded with
fire-balls, turpentine and oakum, to make the in
fi’ ee< ?y and s «r«- Had tlieys u cceeded
L~“ U J tnß . ’ Clt y- and hired it as they would
bare done m a thousand, different places, how
“SJlf **f inhabitants would have escaped!
What chance would there hare been for the
, cblld £ en ' tte °l d > the infirm and
't tbey bad scaped the flames, how
bave Bu rYived the inclement night,
thrown out into the storm as they would have
Protection,, many of them, of
fhi en ° rdmal T clothing! Or pf they had survived
many would hare sunk under the slow
of s,a tration! Shoot horses and cattle, burn
d ml i ls ’ destr °y everything that sustains
p in flames a city of a hundred thousand
souls, murder the President and his Cabinet—this
errand on which these demons came'
rt ,The proof is incontestable. Thepockeuof one
of their dead officersfumish the official documents.
Sow, we repeat, will the Confederate authorities
deal with miscreants, taken in the execution of this
B S r L < 1 Will they treat them as prisoners
of war 1 We are ashamed to ask the question; but
the feeb.eness and timidity displayed on othdr oc
casions, really create a doubt whether this may not
be done. Perhaps, now in a matter so nearly ef
fectir g thejifrjonnrl of the Government, we shall
see a different spirit diiplayed, and may find that
our principal authorities begin to understand
he character of the war, and to be conscious that
they arc the representatives and agents of a cause
that should respect itself, and should exhibit the
thinness that springs from conviction. Now or
never we must show the enemy and the world that
■ ‘ we know onr rights, and knowing, dare main
tain. This day’s snn should not go down before
every scoundrel taken in this assassin’s work is
blown to atoms from the months oi cannon, and
every means should be employed to get the names
of as many as possible of those who have escaped,
so that, it taken hereafter, they may be treated in
the same way.
[From the Examiner.]
■ THE RKLATTVH COST.
Throw out of the account the valuable lives of ■
our citizen soldier* lost by the late raid, throw ou\
too, the negroes, horses, mules and cattle stolen,
the mills and iron works burnt, the bridges des
troyed, the railroads tern up, the alarm of the wo
rt eu and children in the country and city—cast all
these aside, and look at the matter from another
point of Tie w.
I or three or four days all the Departments and
all the 'workshops have been closed. We may be
sure that the clerks and employes, fagged out by
marches, exposure and privation, will- be in no
condition to work to-day. The Day of Rest cornea
in gcod time for them. On Monday next, then,
the pnhlic business will be resumed—unless, in
deed, some mischievons scout takes it into his
head to give the people of Richmond another
shaking up. Nearly a week will thus have been
lost, and lost at a time when every moment is of
priceless value. Thirty days grace in which to
fund stx hundred millions of dollars, and the
Treasury dost d during seven of those days !
If we turn from the Treasury to the great work
shops where the munitions of war are made, tho
case U as bad or worse, for the time lost cannot be
made up in either of these places. But count the
cost. Bach clerk and each artisan is paid five,
ten, fllteen or twenty dollars a dav. His pay goes
on, while the Government is furnishing him rations
in the field and losing his skilled labor the only
thing which saves him from regular military
service. Taken suddenly from a warm room, and
exposed to rain and sleet, loss of sleep, scant and
badly-ccoked food, it is but fair to inferthat the
larger number of these clerks and handicraftsmen
will be made more or less sick, and rendered in
capable of official labor for weeks to com®. The
chances are that some of them will die. And
skilled labor is scarce enough in this Confederacy,
while all, or nearly all the Departments are behind
hand in their work.

charged with the larceny of brass screws, chisels,
cloth, and other articles from the Philadelphia
The charge was preferred by Ja*.
W. Blay.'ock, Master Joiner of the yard. Wit.
nesses stated that the defendants -were employed as
qttartermen in the yard. At different times they
yrere seen to caiTy articles ont of the yard m their

they went into the, storehouse to Ret glue, they
i ecreted bundles of chisels tinder the cine The
brass screws were taken away, it is alleged, by
the gross, in the dinner baskets, and the cloth was
folded and placed under their coats. The accused
were held in SIOCO hail to answer.
Scarcity op ickels.— There has been for
sometime a great scarcity of nickel cent*. Since
the use of nickel has been adopted bv the Govern
ment the article has risen largely fn value. All
metals have men in price. Nickel is found in
£ nl thG supply is mainly derived from
Litchfield, Connecticut. The prospect is that after
awhile the Government will find difficulty in
procuring sufficient for its requirements, and some
s ub*titute will be rendered necessary. Meanwhile
the demand for cents, at the United States Mint, is
most pressing, and not half of it can be satisfied.
Tbe fear is that the Government will not be ab?e to
obtain mckel at such a rate that it can furnish a
hundred cents for a dollar as it now does.
Cream Caramels, Chocolate Creams, Ac.
—There is at this season quite a heavy demand for
fine conlections and other articles for parties
Those desiring matters of this kind can be promptl
ly and fashionably supplied by A. W Holt, No.
lOC'S walnut street. His cream caramels are flal
vored with all kinds of fruite, no essential oils or
essence* being used, ihe flavor being given from
tne pure juice. In the same way his chocolate
creams are flavored, as Mr. Holt only the
purest cocoa, made fresh everyday. His choco
late is richer and sweeter than home-made bread,
and when fresh is more palatable.
A Street Fight—Two Men Injured A
fight, in which two white men and several col
ored men wereengaged, occurred yesterday after
noon at Sixth and Lombard streets. The whi'e
wen, .Tohn and Andrew BesselievTe, residing at
No. “13 Washington avenue, were both knocked
down and Deaten, one of them pretty badly. Two
colored men, who gave the names of Thomas
Jackson and Christopher Columbus, were arrested
upon the charge of being concerned in the affair
They had a hearing this morning before Alderman
white, and were committed in default ofSLooo
bail.
The First Ward.—We call attention to the
a* Tertisement in to-day : s paper in reference to the
contributions to the First Ward’Bnuntv Fund, by
the Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore R.R.
Co., the Penn. Company, for Insurance on lives,
ami by H. J. Lombaert, Esq., Vice President
Penn. R. R. Co. The subscriotions amount 10
S2l*o. It is to be hoped that a spirit of equal libe
rality will be evoked in other quarters, and that
the First Ward will be enable to fiee itself from
the draft.
Lai- .nth of the Ton a The iron-clad
war steamer Tona wanda, now building at the
Navy Yard, will soon be launched. Except the
Mainlarom&ti, she is the only armored steamer
all on t built in a Government Navy Yard. She is
nearty twice the tonnage of the second hatch of
Monitors,.measuring no less than 1,564 tons. She
has two turrets, and will carry lmmenee guns iu
each. Although at present on the stocks, she is
very lar advanced in her preparations for sea,
which can he completed m a few days.
Correct Piano Tuning.— Mr. Sargent,
"whose caid mny be found elsewhere, has the rare
advantages of thorough acquaintance with every
branch of piano making, having served in one of
the largest factories in Boston. He has been a
resident of this city now upwards of six years.
Hundreds of ©nr best families can cheerfully tes
