It is a well•known fact that no vessel engaged in - the Pennsylvania coal trade is compelled to take a pilot or,pay half pilotage. Government vessels are of course not required to employ a pilot or pay half pilotage i - f they do not engage one, and if they do employ one, they are only required to pay what they pay in all other 'States, viz., $5 per foot. Coastwise vessels are not compelled to take a pilot or pay half pilotage outward bound. As regards the high rate of tonnage, we have nothing to say, we do not suppose that the rates are higher than in any other city. Yours, very respectfully, WILLIAM JEFFERIES, Treasurer of Pilot Society. aps.2t* APRIL 5, 1854 arGREAT CENTRAL FAIR-TO BE RELD IN PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 1.0, 3.fts4.

RECRUITING. COLORED TROOPS.—Sillee the as signment of Colonel S. M. Bowman as Superin tendent of Recruiting for the United States Colored Troops in Maryland, the work commenced by his predecessor, General Birne3r, has been energeti. caliy pushed, and now within the space of forty days, two lull regiments of 1,800 men each, the Thirtieth and Thirty-ninth, have been recruited and are now ready for Meant-ice. PHILADE PHIA., TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1864 GENERAL 811 ER'S DEPARTMENT. FORTRESS Morino April 3.—The departure of Lieutenant. General Grant from this place occurred this evening, he h ing been here now two days in close consultati.n with General Butler, and doubtless fully posted himself on all the affairs of this department. Major-General W. P. Smith, who accompanied General Grant, remained - -here, and will all probability be assigned to an important command under Major-General Butler. The position to be assigned to General Smith has not as yet been made public, but will be one of importance, and commensurate with his rank. _ - Judge Unld's mission to this place,as.T intimated in my despatch of the 30th ultimo, 17785 for the pAr • pese of facilitating exchanges at prisoners between the United States and the rebels. During the two days of his stay at Old Point Comfort General But lerand he came to the most perfect understanding, and hereafter exchanges will continue on a fair and honorable basis. Judge Ould returned to Richmond on Friday evening. At twenty minutes to five Major Mul ford accompanied Col. Ould and Captain Hatch on the steamer-Silas 0. Pierce to within a mile or two of Day's Point Lighthouse, where, the rebel gunboat Roanoke was awaiting their arrival. The transfer of the commissioners front the Pierce was made at ten minutes to six P. M., and. Major Mul ford returned here shortly after seven o'clock. Another terrific storm visited this latitude:during the past four days, which, if not more severe than the equinoctial gale, was at least as ranch so, and the shipping, during this .blow, has suffered fearfully. Accounts are already reaching us at this early day of numerous disasters. Among them are the less of the steamer Fairhaven. This vessel left New York on the 30th nit, and although suffering greatly from stress of weather. reached Cape Henry Light at about eleven o'clock on the night of the lit litinst., where she ran ashore'. This vessel was loaded with troops, having four hundred and fifty men belonging to the 69th, 68th, 90th and other New York regiments, returning either from a furlough or coming to join as recruits.. The night was pitchy.dark and a monstrous sea running at the time; yet, in the face of all this, the chief mate and picked crew manned a boat and contrived to get a hawser ashore. A second cable was like wise fastened, and there being no hopes of getting the ship afloat, the passengers were compelled to swing themselves on shore by the aid of the hawsers. The landing on the beach of Cape Henry—bleak and barren as it generally is—was made more so at this time, and the roarino• ' of the surf and howling of the wind added but little consolation to the shipwrecked soldiers. Of course all the effects of the men, in getting thew. ashore, were lost; and as soon as anything like order could be restored the march towards Norfolk was undertaken. It must be remembered that from Cape Henry to the city of Norfolk, the distance is thirty miles, through woods and sand. The rain came down pitillessly, and finally, after great hardships, the majority of the soldiers arrived in town last night. On tte same beach where the above-named ves sel went ashore, a barkentine, name unknown, lies also hard and fast aground, the schooner Fanny Bell waa foundered, and the captain and two sailors of this vessel are missing, and supposed to have been drowned. The steamer reported by the Fulton, and to whose assistance Capt. Ainsworth sent four steamers from here, proved to be the pro peller Thomas A. Scott. The vessels seat out from here have returned, but found no trace of the missing ship. The U. S. transport Spaulding left here this afternoon for Morehead City, with freight and pas sengers. Am ong the latter are Captain J. IL Staf fer, Aid-c e Camp to Major General Butlet ;Lieut Col. Walter Poor, of the 2d bi orth Carolina Vo lunteers: Capt. ebster, Chief Quartermaster at Newbern; Capt. Goldthwaite, Chief Commissary at Newbern. and several other dislinguished ml litar y officers. PEON POINT LOONOTIT. [Correspondence of the Baltimore American.) Porar Loonolir, MD., April 4, lS64.—During the past cold weather the supply of wood was very limited, and .the officials here having.sila covered that a large quantity was cut and corded np on Smith's Point, almost opposite this on the other side of the Potomac, determined to seize and appropriate it to public use; so last week they despatched several barges under the protection of the gunboats Jacob Bell and:Yankee. They found the wood under the protection of some rebel sol diers, and at once opened on them with shell, which had the effect to scatter them, and our troops landed and succeeded in getting the wood without! further molestation. The firing of the gunboats created quite en excitement on the Point. Seventy- five more rebels arrived here on Thurs day morning from Fortress Monroe. They were some of those lately captured by Gen. Graham, in his expedition to Gloucester county. They repre sent times very hard in the South, and that the Southern people are getting heartily sick of the war. They say, however, that tremendous exer tions are being made by the rebels to hurry on troops to Lee, believing that - Gen. Grant will soon move forward towards Richmond. The rebels that have enlisted in the United States army from the camp are about being organized into a regiment. We understand that Major Diamond, now commanding the men, will be the Colonel. They number some SOO, and from past experience they have proved that they can be trusted, having been encamped for the three months past outside the lines without one deserting. Many, of them are East Tennesseeans. who were compelled to take up arms against the Goveritment. Two United States naval officers have been re• cruiting from the post on the Point, and have suc ceeded in getting a number to enlist in the navy from the rebel camp. All those that had signed the books to work on public works have been trans ferred to the navy. There were some also enlisted who had their names down on the books for ex change on last Wednesday. Twenty-five of the latter went - out in one body. We learn that the Government is about extend ing the military telegraph to ibis point. FROM WASHINGTON Th Herald correspondent writes as follows : Lieutenant General Grant and the select party which left here last week fcir Fortress _Monroe re turned to Washington this morning. General Grant is accompanied by General Rawlins and Colonel Comstock, of his stAr. He has spent most of the day in the War Department. Every mo ment of his time is occupied with important duties He will return to his headquarters . in the field to morrow morning. _ . Major-General P. H. Sheridan has arrived here from the West. He is highly spoken of as an effi cient officer. He has come to take command of the cavalry corps in the Army of the Potomac, in place of Major-General Pleasanton, who has bees assigned to duty in the West. There are a number of general officers in town to-day. General Averell and General Custer, both youthful and promising cavalry commanders, are here to-day. General Averell will immediately re tuin to his command in the Department of West Virginia. General Custer is still suffering from the effects of the accident which befell him a few weeks ago. As soon as his health will permit he will rejoin his division in the army of the Po tomac. Col. Wiswell, ehief of the Veteran Reserve Corps Bureau, has been appointed Acting Military Go vernor of this District, vice General Martindale, absent on leave. - It is reported tnat the office of Military GovernOY of Alexandria is soon to be dispensed with, and the duties now performed by General Slough will be discharged by a provost marshal under the imme diate directlon of Oen. A.usnr, commanding this department. Quite a sensation its created at the Capitol this morning by the report of a pistol near the door of the Supreme Court-room, fired by a colored em ploye of the Court in a diftictilty with his com rade. Notwithstanding the throng constantly filling the hall, fortunately no one was injured. THE ARMY OF THE PO'TOMAC. - [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 4.—A brief Visit to the Army of the Potomac has resulted in the dtscoyery of nothing new. It has rained there seven out of the last ten days, and the camps are in a most hor rible condition. The army was never before so disagreeably situated. The roads are utterly im passable in many places, and the possibility of a movement for several weeks is out of the question. It will take at least four weeks of the most approved sunshine to so dry the ground as to allow any part of the army to change base. The reorganization of the army is nearly • perfected, and the Moons are becoming reconciled to the new order of things. , An accident upon the Warrenton branch of the Orange and Alexandria railroad this morning, in consequence of the displacement of a switch, re sulted in the demolition of three cars, the sum mersault of the locomotive, the serious scalding of the engineer, and the delay of the Washington bound train. The story circulated a few days since, that the sutlers had been ordered out of the army, has not a word of truth in it. No such order has been issued. OURALWHOLE P COUNTRy. FROM SOUTH AMEBIC;,. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.] rEumeos Avians, S. A., Friday, Feb. If, The drought of which I wrote you before has not yet ceased, though there have been in a month two general rains. 'I he ground is baked hard, and in some places cracked open. The surface is like burned ground. Some districts are almost deserted by the search after better pastures leagues and leagues away. The loss to the country this year may be computed by millions. The political peace of this country is most se riously threatened. There is a faction ouposed to the location of the Federal Government, or capi tal, here, and also there is opposition to anything like Federal authority. The old question of the right of a General Government to coerce a refrac- tory State is to be decided in South as well as in North America. The election for members of the Legislature' Will take place on next Sunday, and fears are entertained that it will be a fearful day. The military are gathered to this city, and military law wilirule the day for the preservation of peace. 'cis not yet known to what measures the Opposi tion will resort to carry their purposes, but the crowd to be held in check by this national tary is composed of desperate men, and they have but little fear of the soldiers. For the first time in its history the American Church will be closed on accoutn of an election. A French daily here states that, the crown and purple intended for the coronation of President Lopez, as Emperor of Paraguay, have arrived in this city. They are said to be the same used in the coronation of the Emperor of Hayti, Fanstin I. Preparation for this step has been going forward AK a long time, though many have denied it who have means of 'knowing. Yet you can depend upon it. The coronation is not distant. An em pire is soon to nestle in the very heart or South America. The inauguration of the last section of the San Fernando Railroad took place last week with great eclat. All the chief men of the nation were there, and the principal representatives of foreign coun tries. The road is superintended by Capt. Harri eon, formerly of the U. S_ Navy, and the best and most popular cars on- the road were built at Albany. The Italians of the threatened City of Monte video. are making contributions to aid the patriot Garibaldi.

GLonirmo SlN.—Some persons who have less sense and good taste than liberality, are mak ing arrangements to have a grand display on the occasion of the funeral of the poor girl who was murdered at the Continental Theatre, on Saturday night. There is to be an exhibition of her cor se for an hour or two before the time fixed for the n terment, and there will be a silver-mounted coal with other costly trappings of woe. There will, of course, be a great crowd of jostling, eager peo ple, prompted purely by mere morbid curiosity, and those who go to gaze, and who have but limited ideas of principle and propriety, will come away impressed with an idea that a poor creature who died in a full career of a life of wretched sinful ness has suffered martyrdom and is receiving the award of it at the banns of the living. The mar dened girl is entitled to the pity of an, pardon. laxly in view of her neatness for the awful charge which she was called upon so suddenly to undergo; but there was nothing in her life. character or death to, entitle her to special posthumous honors.. While charity would draw tee veil of forgetfulness over her :in let life, and give her poor remains a decent but quiet and unobtrusive burial, a vulgar fondness for display drags her character before the world and at once advertises and excuses her sinfulness, with the pomp and show of ar expensive funeral. New York once made a grand public parade on the occasion of the obsequies of a murdered prize. fighter. Philadelphia has usually shown a more refined taste in such matters, and it would have been much better at this time to have quietly con signed the remains of Maggie Baer to the earth, and left her sins and the excieves for them to a tribunal above; while earthly justice determines upon the crime of her murderer. TilE AnIlY Itosrrr.u..—During the past week 201 patients were admitted into the Army Hospitals of this department; 11+0 were returned to duty and 13 died. The number reraaining is 3,263.

To BE INVISTIGJAED.—It will be remem bered that some time since, when a Massachusetts regiment passed through the city, a tavern in the lower part of the city was gutted by order of the colonel and that the proprietor was taken to Balti more and bad his head shaved on the way. An affidavit containing the facts was made before the Mayor, and he addressed a letter upon the subject to the Secretary of War. The latter has replied that the conduct of the Massachusetts colonel shall be fully investigated. STABBIEG CASE.—Before Alderman White this morning George Riley was charged with hav ing stabbed a young man on Sixth street above South. The latter threw up his arm to ward off the blow, and received two severe gashes. The accused was committed in default of $1,500 bail to answer.

TARP FAIR. _ Fram the Tribune of this morning we glean the following int.resiing description of the -proceed ings in New York yesterday, incident to the open. ing of the Great Sanitary Fair : ince the magnificent reception which the city gave to the Prince of Wales on his arrival in New York, a finer display of the Military Department than that of yesterday has not been witnessed by our citizens. At about 10 d cloak the military or ganizations began to assemble at their various heae quarters, and between 11 and 1 o' cicck dif ferent regiments might-be seen forming into line in Grand and Broome streets, Washington place, and on Broadway, preparatory to their final as sembling on Fourteenth street. As the soldiers came out, the crowd of persons, attracted by the stir and glitter of uniforms, increased in point of numbers, until Broadway filled ',••• ' neatly led In- union rang Were ,„ neflre r the time fer the psztide, The g eater part of the regiments, however, formed ifitoposition en Fourteenth street. Here the scene was truly imposing. On account of the many organizations to be as signed to their proper places some delay was us. turally caused in getting ready for the final march, and it was some time after the hour appointed when the column started. The appearance of Broadway oaring the march through it, with the flags waving above from the hotels and principal buildings, and the immense throng pressing along the walks with the advancing troops, was truly magnificent. It seemed as if it was one - vast river of human beings, which had formed in Union Square and was e sptying into City Hall Park. Gen. Diz commanded the United States troops, and Genets.l Sandford the Volunteers and State Militia. Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher was ou the ground in the formation of the line, and acted temporarily on the staff of Gen. Dix. The line of troops, as it stood when completed, extended from the corner of Second avenue and Fourteenth street • to Tenth avenue, or, indeed, quite to North River. Gene. Dix and Sanford reviewed the troops by passing rip and down the line, and the event had an admirable appearance, and at pre cisely 33.6 o'clock the whole procession began to move. 'Their route lay through Second avenue and Stnyvesant place to Astor place, thence to Brokdway, and down Broadway to Duane street, over to centre and so down to the City Hall, where 'the Mayor and Common Council received them in review. The number of troops who turned out could not have been less than 8,000 infantry, beside the cav airy and. artillery, which would make over 10,000 in all. An hour and a quarter were' occupied in passinga certain point. While the procession was passing the corner o Fourth street and Broadway the flags of the 20th, Ecth and 31st Regiments U. S. Ooloredatoops were P. L. FETHERSTON, thrown proudly out upon the breeze, thebanneree the ;Union League Club, with the inscription ' conditional Loyalty," being conspicuous. among , them. Gen. Anderson and family, and several other distinguished ladies and gentlemen occupled' the spacious 'windows of the headquarters of the' Corps d' Afrique. As the officers and color. bear ers of the different regiments caught a sight Of the martial form of the hero of Fort snmter they drop ped their war-worn banners and saluted him. The parade over. we pass with the throng up town, wending_ our way toward Palace Garden. It is yet early, and the doors have notbeen opened to the select 6 01,0 who purchased the privilege of assisting at the ina.uguratory exercises, at the price of 82 a ticket. But already the lady attend- - ants were arriving, and taking their places in the booths to which they were assigned At 8 o'clock the ceremonies of Inauguration cota menced with the playing of Hail Columbia by the military band stationed in the gallery. The Star. Spangled Banner was then sung by. Misses . Col burn and Molton, the Mendelssohn and Harmonic Societes, led by Mr. Bergs, joining in the chorus. The Committee in charge of the music consisted of Dieters. Henry Camp and J. F. Tebly. The Rev. - Dr. Wm. Adama then offered sprayer. The Army Hymn was then sung by S. C. Camp bell. accompanied by the choral societies and the band. . General Wm. Hall then introduced to the ence Major-General Mx, who was selected .to present, on behalf of the Gentlemen's Executive Committee, the contents of the Fair ie the Ladies' Committee. GET:REAL nix,'S nsatAnnS. Ladies and Gentlemen—We have assembled for the purpose of inaugurating what I do not doubt will prove to be the most munificent contribution ot the day to the noblest of all °hints—to provide for the relief of the gallant soldiers who have become disabled by disease and wounds while periling their lives for the preservation of the Union. [Ap plause.] The civil war in which we are engaged. is, under all its aspects, the most extraordinary the world has ever seen. The enthusiasm of the Northern people in rushing to arms to- save the Government of their fathers from destruction, their indomitable courage in battle, their patient endur ance of hardship, their steadiness of iiurpose - under all vicissitudes, the readiness with which the whale community submits to pecuniary - bur dens, the elastic hope and the unshaken confidence with which all classes look forward to ,`coming tranquillity under the old institutions, are, as re markable as the magnitude of the contest itself. [Applause. J Our enemies abroad have said. that the South is animated by the highest enthu siasm, and that we are comparatively cold and. unmoved by high motives of action. It is pre. cisely the reverse; the contributions of the North ern people in treasure and blood have bean volan tary offerings and sacrifices on the altar of their country. On the other hand, the people of. the South, at least for the last year, have, for the most past, contributed with reluctancei' to the cause of treason wader the exactions of a despotic Govern ment. Nothing marks more strongly the difference between them-and us than the wide-spread and. beneficent operations of the Sanitary Commission, and the earnest and devoted efforts by which - the women of the North are giving vigor and scope to its 'ministrations. [Applause.] In the South, manifestations of zeal and devotion like these art almost unknown. This is indeed. one of the distinguishing characteristics of the struggle on our side, and it shows with what in tensity the public feeling is enlisted in it. It is a. peculiarity which has marked no. former contest.. And while States, counties, and towns, with ns, are imposing upon themselves taxes enormous in amount to raise troops, the rebel government In Richmond is supporting its armies through forced contributions from the Southern. people, under a system of tyranny which has already be come odious, and is, every moment, in danger of defeating itself by provoking armed resistance. Ladies of New York : The contributions with which this vast hall is overflowing are offered to you es tributes to ycnr patriotic efforts in behalf of our suffering soldiers. It is to the generous im pulses of your hearts, and to your patient and self.saCrifleing labors, honorable alike to the age, to the country, and to yourselves, that we owe these accumulations of the products of genius, and industry, and art. [Applause.] I hey do not come from New York alone. ' New' Jersey and other States are large contributors. The men of New York, the men and women of America,at home and abroad, in the very remotest portions of the Old Woild; citizens of other' countries sympathizing with us because they feel that we are on the side of stable Government--. all have responded to your - appeals with hearts animated by the same high impulses. as your own. [Applause.] To your hands.ladtes, we commit these contributions from both lumispheres, to be disposed of under your aus pices. And yonmay rest assured that the sources of consolation and comfort which you are opening for others will be poured out in kindred currents of gratitude to you, to bless you with the highest and purest of all gratifies' ions—that of alleviating the condition of those who are suffering for a cause involving in its issue every element of civilization and of social order. [Applause. A letter was then read from the .Rev. Dr Bellow, who had recently sailed for California. Also, a letter from Gov. Seymour. The Choral Societies then sang with great spirit" Handel's Grand Hallelujah Chorus, accompanied by the band. Joseph H. Choate, Esq., then, in behalf of this ladies, responded to the presentation speech of General Dix. The ceremonies were concluded by singing Old. Hundred, the audience joining in.

DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCITSEBTAN6SS. On Friday night a soldier was discovered lying in sensible in the yard of a private residence in IfOrk. Inforination was given to the officers of the Army Hospital, and sometime afterwards the guard re moved him to the Hospital, where he expired next morning. Before he died, sufficient information. was obtained from him to ascertain that he was & member of the 76th Penna. regiment, named Levi . Sipe, who was in this borough onfurlough l / 2 having re•enlisted. When picked up, his watch and a. small amount of money were found on his person, but his bounty money, which he 'usually carried about him, was missing, which fact led to suspi cions of foul play.
