Err_ HALF PILOTAGE TAX.—Mr, Editor:
• The member of Congress who made the 're
marks at the meeting of the Corn Exchange Asso
ciation concerning tne high rate of pilotage and
ball pilotage taxes must be very ignorant of the
laws of 'Pennsylvania relating to those subjects.
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.

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.

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.

THE OPENING OF THE NEW YORK SANI.
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 ',••• '

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.

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

General Dix.
The ceremonies were concluded by singing Old.
