BOSTON, March 26, 1164. —Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 21st inst. , inviting me to visit Philadelphia and address a public meeting of its citizens. The terms in 'which you express yourselves of my services in. - the cause of "impartial and universal liberty," albeit quite above my merits, are nevertheless .(comnig from such a source), truly grateful to my feelings. For though I recognize among the sig natures to your letter the names of but few with - whom I am personally acquainted-, I do not fail to observe those of others whom I know to be held in high esteem by the best people of the land, and whom inconsequence I have myself been long ac customed to regard with respect and honor. The estimate which in your kindness you put upon my labors in behalf of this country, were it predicated upon. my intentions only, I should say does no more than justice. I have ever been an admirer of America; American people and-Ameri can institutions have had for many years my best affections and warmest approval. The language of my heart has often been—" Would to God that my own country were as 'America, except these 'bonds." And to break these bonds, you will bear me witness, no effort of mine has been wanting. For America's sake as well as for humanity's, have I, under much reproach, ever labored to this end. Thar.k God the day of deliverance 'which we have all sighed for, has at length dawned upon your country! In the added honors which are already clustering around your nation's name, I have a pleasure not exceeded by that of the most loyal of your citizens. It will afford me great pleasure,_ gentlemen, to 'comply-with your invitation. I shall be in Phila delphia on Monday, the 9th of April, on my way t o Washington, and if it should snit your conve nience to appoint the proposed meeting for that -evening, I shall be happy to attend and address it. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Yours, with great respect, GEORGE THOMPSON, To Horace Kinney, Jr., Thomas Webster, Joint Knox, Esqs. , and others, Philadelphia.

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH [Coriespoodence of the N. Y.

What it is designed to do with the troops encamped at Jacksonville and Platka no one seems to know, but all agree that they ere of little service v here they are. General J P. lia,Cl3. has arrived at Hilton Head cram the North, and will temporarily relieve Gen. T. Seymour, who.. it is understood, has been ordered to Washington. Gen. Seymour will leave Hilton Bead hi a os:s or two. It i- thought Gen Vodges will eventually take command of the Florida jPetriO, nod G n. Hatch of the Hilton Bead District. Tll, re vround for believing we may possibly lose Gen. B. S. Foster, as two .11.833 r: Generals in the Army of the Potomac have applied at Washington for Lis tiansfer to their commands. A few cases of small-pox have made their ap pearance, but 'thanks to the active measures of Medical DlrectorGross, the disease. h-m been pre ventee from spreatimg amon g the troops.

Col. Nowell ordered a strong mounted patrol to sr arch the woods, bat they did n.lt find the suspected individual. We were visited on Monday and Tuesday by a severe northeast gale, which threatened to do con siderable damage to the shipping, but as yet no accidents are reported. A steamer and a schooner were driven ashore on the beach at Hilt n Head, but they were got oil without sustaining any ma terial injury. . The Couit-Martial of Gen. Gordon is still pro greSsing. On Saturday he made an able defence - in reply to the charge of dtobeying orders, preferred by Gen."Oillmore. The case will probably be de cided by the Court on Monday. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.) HEADQUARTERS DIST. FLORIDA, March l 3 net. —Some of the few and true men of the Union cause, which we bound In this place and vicinity, gave us information on our arrival that a number of steamboats might be found on the head- wa•ers of the St John' s, or in its lakes and tributaries. The Sumter, Hattie Brock, Reliance, and Silver Springs were considered the most vainab'e As soon its Col. Barton had fortified his position at Pilatka, and felt fully able to take care of himself and hold the place, some enterprising officers and marines from the navy yard resolved to make a cruise up the river in search of these meats. The expedition was ROnsidered full of danger, as it must necessarily be small, and go from all as sistance into the enemy's country. Acting Mas ter Champion and First Mate F. W. Sanborn and LI marites, volunteered to, undertake the perilous cruise. The Columbine; a steam tug, mounting on her prow one 6-pounder, and a launch from the Pawnee, comprised the fleet. On the morning of the 7th Master Champion left Pilatka, _with the good wishes and benediction of Bistori , s army re sting upon him. The next day he en tered Lake George, and,after a short Eeareh,fouud the Sumter, a small stern-wheel transport. It Was made especially for the carrying tr.ute on the St. Johns, and its tributaries. It is of very light draught, and can ascend far up these small streams into the interior, and before the war, did a very profitable business. With his prize he re turned to Pilatka and Cast anchor amid the welcom ing hurrah of the army. '1 he Sumter contained a small cargo of cotton, rosin and turpentine. • A second expedition was immediately planned, and was ready to leave Pilatka in the evening . of the 12th. A prize crew from the launch was put on board the Sumter, and she was immediately put into service. As before, the Columbine led the way. Only three days' rations were taken, and when five had passed, we, hearir ' e nothing from them, became a little concerned for their. safety. But we knew Mr. Champion to be au ear nest leader, and that he was safe if nothing bad befallen him of greater moment than a loss of ra tions. After a litt.e cruising about in Lake George, he moved up the river, ezpioring every tributary, bay and secluded spoted that rigged and crooked stream, till Yilatka was left some 60 milei In his rear. Be resolves to risk still further, and on he goes up into Lake Busford, but finds nothing. Lake Jesup is but a few miles further on, and he pushes farther up into that. with the same result. He determines to see Lake Barney, 130 miles from. Pilatka before returning. It was on this broad and beautiful sheet of water that perseverance was crowned with success. The Hattie. as she was fondly and familiarly called, was found tied up in an out of-the-way place and left to her fate. Our men, without opposition, took possession, towed her into a place of safely, and made some hasty examinations. She had on board 100 bales of cotton, a quantity of turpentine, a lot of rosin and a copper boiler for a turpentine distillery. It was 1 . 0114 that the side valves of her engine had been reitioved, but wooden ones were coon extemporized, and in four hours steam was up and the enlarged fleet moved down the liver. The hold of the Hattie Brock can contain SOO bales of cotton. She has cabins to accommodate from 75 to lee passengers, an excellent double en gine, nearly new, and cost about slo,ooo. She was the best boat ever built expressly for the St. John's trade. On the way down, in passing Fort Gates (an old earthwork built during the war with the Semi. noles,). a volley of musketry was tired Into the boats but without effect. The Columbine's lens gun, projecting over her prow, pnt the guerilla's to flight, and they were seen no more. The most exquisitely painful part of the down. ward trip occurred at Enterprise—a small town on Lake Monroe. As the fleetmoved up.to the land ing, near where the "Brood House" stands, the veritable Miss Hattie, after whom the boat, as is the wont throughout the chivalrous South, was named, made her appearance on the verandah, overwhelmed with astonishment, indignation and grief. as bhe saw that her namesake, the pride of her life, had fallen into the hands of the 'Yankees. The little black. eyed belle seemed like an angel angry. She was eloquent in her grief, and our marines, poor fellows, were glad to get away as soon as they had supplied their boats with fuel. No mishaps occurred, and on the 20th the expedi tion, without lose, arrived at. Pilatka, and on the 2.3 d were in Jacksonville. The whole affair is re garded as one of the most daring and brilliant ex ploits of the war. As the pnzes were taken by volunteer marines, it is thought that the prize money (about $100,000) will be divided between them—the 14 men, two of them officers. During the cruise it was learned' that the Silver Springs is far up the Oclawaha, in a large basin like spring of the same name. The Reliance, and still another boat, are in the St. John's, higher up somewhere, and these marines having got a taste of adventure and prizes, will not rest till both are found and captured. On the evening of the 22d inst.,- a little after dark, an attack was made upon Pilatka by the enemy in small force. The firing lasted about an hour and was very brisk on our part. The gun. boats took part in the melee, and theirbursting shell fell quite freely among the enemy. "It is thought the enemy was simply feeling_ our lines to test. their strength and our readiness for a general engagement. As he left a few dead and wounded behind it is presumed he retired satisfied. There were no casualties on our side. Gen. Seymour has issued an order, No. 15, for the conscription of all able-bodied colored men in his district, embracing Fernandina, St. Augus tine, Jacksonville, Pilatka, and all intermediate places. The Hilton Head correspondent of the Herald, under date of 27th ult.writes as follows : The rebels are becoming quite active about our outposts. On Sunday last they made an attack on our pickets near Jenkins' Island, but were re pulsed at every point by the. 76th Pennsylvania regiment, Col. Campbell, doing duty at that point. The rebels approached in eight large flat-boats,. and came in force, evidently with a view of cut: ting off our pickets. In this they were foiled, and went back considerably cut up. The Chippewa afterwards gave them a taste of her metal, and iullicted heavy loss upon them. Another attempt to gain a foot-hold on the island the following night was baffled by Capt. Knees' company of the 76th, who fired several deadly volleys into the boats, and drove them off. No casualties occurred on our side in either attack. Miss Dia arrived at Hilton Head in the Fulton. She is the guest of Dr. Clymer and is to make a tour of all the hospitals iransiispartment.

After several attempts succeeded in communicat ing with the stranger, who reported having her engines broken down, and wished the Fulton to bay by her clurilig the night, and tow her into port. The Wind at the time was so -vio lent, it was impossible to understand feather. Kept her in sight until two A.

Was com pelled by necessity to go. aheed with all power and bring the ships head to the wind and sea to relieve b-r from the water in her, which took until five A M. to do. when tbe Fulton was steered to the southwest in search of the distressed vessel. At seven A. M., having run back the distance, could not see anything of her. The weather being thick, and still blowing a gale, and taking into consideration the condition of the ship—being short of coal and very crank—was reluctantly obliged to proceed on our course, which was done at eight A.

Ninth and Green streets, are almost completed. The im provements are quite extensive, and the accom modations are no fully 'equal to any other depot building in the city. The waiting rooms are now locsted upon Green street, extending the whole length of the building. and the entrances are npon that thoroughfare. There are two apartme its, one for gentlemen and the other for ladies, each being 30 feet in length by is in width. At the upper end of the ladies' room is a small dressing room, and east of the gentleman's apartment is the baggage room. The waiting rooms are handsomely flitted up and comfortably furnished. Between the two is a cozy little place which is occupied by Col. John B. Peddle, the General Ticket Agent. Jr. H. K. Smith, the General Superintendent, will have his office on Ninth street, in the room formerly occupied by the gentlemen. The offices of the President and Treasurer will remain as here tofore, it the second story on Ninth street. The car honee has undergone a complete change.

MILLINERY OPRNlNG.—Yesterday the popular old house of 'Wood .Y.Cary,No.72s Chestnut street, held their annual opening of fashipnable Bonnets, and notwithstanding the somewhat unfavorable state of the weather, their spacious salesrooms presented a perfect crowd of beauty and-crinoline during several hours in the day. The various new styles of bonnets exhibited, which were tastefully arranged on ornamented stands, unstituted a beautiful picture, and the admiration lavished upon the numerous "gems" must have been highly gratifying to the proprietors. The most prevalent colors of bonnets and trimmings, this season, are found in the different shades of the cuir Or tau. The form if bonnet& this season is a de cided alteration from, and we think, an Improve. ment upon that of last. They are more flattened at the top and closer at the sides, and on the whole, smaller. Among the specimen bonnets which attracted the most attentioa in tee .•onerlleg," we may mention their cuir-colored straw - , Cactus or seagrass hood and bag-crowned skirred bonnets for traveling purposes, fine English straw, white crapes, quilted in diamonds, and exquisite walk ing hats, in every variety. The trimmings of the bonnets that we examined strike us as the 13103 t tasteful and beautifal that millinery genius has yet produced for the adornment of the sex.

CARD.—WARBURTON'S HATs.—The new shapes for Spring wear are now ready. Gen tlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine them. It is believed that the styles now being of fered will prove very pleasing. The brims are made narrower than heretofore, conforming in this respect to the best fashions of London and Paris, and in com pliance with the expressed wish of many who give attention to matters of dress in this city as well as in New York. Broader brims will be kept In stock, or made to order for those who desire them. The prices of silk, as well as felt hats, Dave necessarily advanced. Nearly every article en tering into their construction being either prepared OT produced abroad, can - consequently be bought oniy with gold or its equivalent. Such is the en hanced cost of material and labor that the very lowest grade of silk hat (when made of new stock) cannot be retailed for less than five dollars. Every endeavor has been made to maintain the quality, and to keep near to the prices of the times pre ceding the rebellion. Present prices forfine dress hats are now 56. and $7. For blocking or refinishing hats an increase of price is also made necessary. WM. F. WARBURTON, Hatter, Chestnut Street, nest door to the Post Office.

Those who go to see the tricks of other conjurors repeated will be disappointed, for all be does is novel and entirely different from the feats of those who have appeared in his peculiar branch of art. Travelers have re lated the most marvelous•things of the 'magicians of China and Japan. some of which hate been sufficient to startle the credulity of the most. credu ions; but we are assuredlthat Professor. Simmons. during his residence in those countries, possessed. himself of the secret of their most marvelous feats and will perform them during his seances in Phi ladelphia.. 'While in San Francisco hit expose of the charlatanry of Home, the professed spiritual ist, created a great excitement, and the spiritual ists held a council in which they declared that he (Simmons) produced the Blood.
