to hurry to their rescue.
The rebels rushed forward, and as fast as they
crossed were captured, and their guns thrown into

WessinvuxoN, April 6. —By an order of the War
Department, Brigadier-General Stone, now Cati , f
of General Banks's Staff, has been reduced to his
original rank, and ordered to return to Ms regiment.
General Montgomery has been dropped from the
rolls. General Andrew Porter and Gen. Nagiee,

Ordered to their regiments.
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

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.

THE GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR,
FOR THE
Sanitary Commission.
Philadelphia, 1307 Cheatint Street.
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-
