Mojor•General Sedgwick arrived from the Army of the Potomac, to-day, and to-morrow - will go before the War Committee, at the request of Gen. Meade, to testify as to the battle of Gettysburg. The defeat of the National Bank or Currency bill by so large a vote as two-thirds, astonished both friends and foes, especially as so much time had been consumed in efforts to perfect it. All the amendment , made in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, about sixty in number, were concurred in by the House. The Committee of 'Ways and Means 'were willing to Mop' all except. ing two, and hence Representative Stevens offered a substitute differing only front the amended bill in the following particulars, viz: Restoring the unitorm seven per centum in terest, and leaving it under National and not State legislation, and omitting the section which left the capital stock of the institutions to be taxed the same as the property of individuals for State and municipal purposes. The House emphatically non. concurred in this substitute. This was the turning point in the controversy, the test that de termined whether the bill containing the clauses obnoxious to the prominent friends of the measure should pass the House. So it was laid oaths table on the motion of Representative Stevens. Some of his own political friends Voted with those on the opposite tide, who were from the beginning . opposed to this measure of finance; George Thompson, of England, delivered a lee titre in the Hail of the House of Representatives to , night to a dense auditory, including President Lincoln, Secretaries Ushur and Chase, many Members of both branches of Congress and not a. fewiadies. A bend of music was in attendance. Vice President Hamlin in.rodticed the lecturer, Who at the commencement of his remarks empha tically denied and challenged proof that he had ever said the dissolution of the Union must be constantly kept in view. On the contrary, he had always been its steadfast friend ,Bis expression of "Thank God! the hours of compromise are past,'' was enthusiastically, ap plauded and cheered, as was also his allusion to what he.characterized as the banditti of men steal ers at Richmond. calling themselves the Confed erate Government, who promised themselves ultimate success, and the full recognition of this principle throughout the civilized world, The wish and prayer of every philanthropist, he said, was, "God speed the North, who were with the President, and against the serpent., Copperbe :ds, and all whom they would banish.from the land " This. and the name of old John Brown, were heartily applauded. He quoted from. President Lincoln's speeches, delivered six years ago. say_ . ing that:he would not exchange those sent iment3 for all that had been written by Edmund Burke. After the close of the lecture. Mr. Thompson re ceived the, congratulations of a large number of etstingrushed gentlemen, among whom was noted Senator Johnson, of Maryland.. • The Secretary of the Treasury, in a communica tion to the House, to.day,-eays that. Jay ()mike employed about 2.500 sub-agents,, for whom he was responsible, and secured subscriptions to the loan to the amount of $36:2, 000,000 without which the army. and navy would not have been paid. The cost of the loan wee '$1,400,000; a c st of less than X-10 of one percent. on eisliteen days' in te _ rest on the whole amount.

TESTIAU NIALS Miss Shaw's Readings have - been the subject of higliencomitims, as will be perceiTed by the fol lowing Testimonials from those most qualified to judge, viz: From Dr. Oliver Wetdell Holmes, Boston. Miss Shaw bas much grace and dignity, a very sweet, sympath , tic voice, a fine enunciation. and, to my ear, au almost faultless pronunciation. I found so to criticise, that I feared I must be wanti in the eye wi,ich detects faults. From Rev. Jac. Weiss, Watertown. Miss Shaw possesses pouter enough for imitating the popular exaggerations of some famous _readers, but too much sense and simplicity to give it that irecti on. She is inspired with the desire to re main natural in tone, gesture, and expression, while she preserves every dramatic or tender ele ment of the author. There is no lack of energy and passion which Shaitspeare or Browning re quires; but the feeling of the page is delicately shaded, and the true grace of woman clothes the whole. Mika Shaw has been kindly permitted to refer to the following gentlemen : Hon. Salmon ChaEe, Secretary of the .T.easury. Hon. 'Wm. A. Buckingham, Governor of Cor necticnt. • barnas Sears, D.

February 20,1864. The undersigned,. members of the Executive Committee of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for the Sanitary Commission, beg to invite the co-ope ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia., in the FIRST WEER IN JUNE NEXT, and it is coo fidently expected that the contributions, coming from a popnla ion so benevolent and patriotic as that which inhabits the Central States, and repre senting the most important and varied branches of industry and art, will secure a result in aid of the funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of the Soldier, at least equal to that which has at tended similar undertakings In other cities. It is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym pathy for the soldier. We feel for them all !as brethren, and the popular heart seeks only the best mode of manifesting that sympathy in the most efficient and practical way. These fairs in other places have been productive:of great results. By this means Chicago has recently raised for this object $60,000, Boston 8150,000. and Cincinnati more then &2 0,000. We appeal, then, with the greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen tral States, especially to those who' constitute the great industrial classes, to send as contribution the productions of their skill and workmanship. Weappeal to them in the interest of no pirty, radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic, Adrainistration or anti-Administration. We know only this, that to send our national soldiers in the field supplies to enpplement those Goverment un dertakes to give them, but which they.sometimes fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when 'sick and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as economizing their life, health and efficiency, on which, under God, the nation depends in this its time of trouble. ' We therefore ask every clergyman to announce this.hurnane undertaking to his people, and to ad vise them to do what they can to further it. We ask the rress to give it the widest publicity and the most earnest encouragement. We call on every workshop, factory' and mill for a specimen of the best thing it can turn out; on everrartist, great and small, , for one of his creations ; on all loyal women, for the exercise of their taste and indus try; on farmers, far the products of their fields and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man of science, the traveler, can each send 'caseating that can at the sere least be converted into a blanket that will warm, and may save from death, sonic one soldier whom government supplies have failed to reach. Every one who can produce any thing that has money value is invited to give a sample of his best work as an offering to the cause of national unity. Every - workingman, mechanic or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a barrel of apples, Is called on to contribute some- . thing that can be turned into money, and again from money into the means of economizing the health and the life of our national soldieh. Committees have been appointed in each depart. meat of Industry ;Ltd art. whose business it will be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in its own special branch. 1 hese Committees will place themselves in commtmiaation with those persons who may wish to aid us. In the meantime it is recommended that local committees or associations should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva. nit, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view 01 organizing the industry of their respective neigh bothoods, so as to secure contributions for the Fair, Committees of leidies have also been organized to co operate with those of the genuemen in soli- citing contributions. A list of all these Committees will be shortly publisheo and distributed. In the meantime those who are disposed to aid us, or who may desire any farther information on the subject, are requested to address CHARLES J.
