the undersigned would most respectfully urge

may be in their power to offer. The great, indeed,
sole aim of the Fair, .is to do good to the sick and
wounded of our gallant army, and though the
feeling which will prompt all who contribute
is that of gratitude to our soldiers, the occasion may
be used, incidentally, to bring before the public
eye, the varied manufactures of our country, and
we, who are engaged in the department of Cabinet
Ware, should make an effort to be properly repre

THE REBEL ATROCITIES AT FORT PILLOW.
The Cairo correspondent of the N. Y. World
writes:—
The atrocities committed are almost beyond
belief, and bat for the fact that so many men con
firm the stories, one could scarcely credit them.
One man, already badly injured, asked of a rebel
who was aiming at him, tis spare his life. .6 No,
curse you!" he exclaimed, "you fight with
niggers," and forthwith discharged two more
balls into him. A negro was made to assist in
digging a pit 'to bury the dead in, and was him
self cast in with others and buried. Five are
known to have been interred alive, of these, two
scratched their way out and are now alive in the
hospital. Daniel Tyler, a negro, was shot three
times and struck on the head with a musket,
knocking his eye out; afterward he was buried but
dug himself out. Robert Hall, a negro boy, was
lying in bed in the hospital at the fort, sick and
helpless, when a rebel came in and cut him with
his sabre; three cuts went through his scalp,
cleaving the skull and exposing the brain. The
boy threw up his left arm to ward ore blow, and,
in doing so. lost a part of his hand. Ell Cothell,
a negro corporal, was shot three times
after he had surrendered. William Jordan, as
negro was shot four times and Icet a leg. Most of
the white soldiers were wounded four or five
times; the wounds are severe, but the men are doing
well and are in good spirits. Sergeant W. P.
Walker received four wounds. and was robbed of
everything valuable about his person. D. W.
Harrison was shot in three places and robbed.of
ninety-seven dollars and a silver watch. James
Wall was wounded twice and robbed. James M.
Taylor and Wiley Robinson, a boy, have four
wounds each. The former was struck in the face
with a musket.
This wholesale murder was sanctioned by al-
Most all of the rebel officers; and Gen. Chalmers
more especially. A line officer, however, who
was not so lost to all the feelings of humanity, ex
erted himself to stop the -slaughter by waiving his
handkerchief and calling his -men away. One
of the wounded believes his life was saved in this
manner. He said that a rebel brought him a basin
of water to drink, and two of them remained with
him during the night. General Forrest is reported
to have withdrawn with his force before the action
ended, and the butchery of so many men was in
consequence of the indifference of General Olutk
mers.
HORIIIIILB OATASTROPaa. —On Friday night
last :a fire broke out in a house occupied by a
family named McMann, in Tarport, Pa. The
parents occupied one room, sad four children
another. The flames spread before the family
awoke. Oil awaking, the [father attempted to
rescue one of the children, but was suffocated
before leaving the house. and, with the child, was
burned. The mother attempted to rouse the other
children, but could not rescue them, and, with
them, was suffocated. Thus the whole family of
sin. were burned with the building.

OUR WHO LE COUNTRY
Tax Jawisa P.Lasovzs.—Last evening
which corresponds with the 14th day of the Jew
ishlmonth Niacin, commenced the feast of pass
over; one of the most important, especially with
regard to its dietary regulations, of all the Hebrew
holy days. The festival is instituted to commemo
rate the deliverance of the children of lambi from
the land of Egypt. It lakes its name from the fast
that when the Angel of the Lord was smiting the
first-Vora in every Egyptain house, passed
over" the residences of the Israelites. A. peon-
Rarity of this festival is the eating of Matzoth, or
unleavened bread, which is done to commemorate
an incident in the hurried departure of the Israel
ites by which the dough which they carried across
their shoulders was baked in the sun while they
traveled. Prom this circumstance arises the in
junction forbidding the use of anything leavened
during
eight days.

The lovers of good music have a rich rest in store
in the concert of the Zane Street Girls' Grammar
School. Three yeers ago, on the breaking out of
the rebellion, the first Concert in aid of soldiers'
families was Riven by this school. It was one of
the most brilliant ovations ever witnessed in our
city. Hundreds went away unable to obtain ad
mittance even to the'house, or to get a glimpse of
the stage. 1 The reputation of this school always
draws a crowd, so we would advise all to secure
seats early.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE FIFTEENTH
WARD—AN EXTENSIVE CANDLE - MANUFACTORY
EuuNau..e.-Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 3
o' clock, a fire broke out in the large three-story
brick building at the southeast corner of Twenty
third and Hamilton streets • This building was
owned by 0 H. Grant & cto., and was occupied
by that firm for the manufacture of adamantine
candles and lard oil. The establishment, consisted
of a main building fifty by one hundred feet., and
two wings of eighty by sixty feet each. The fire
originated in the still room in the right wing,
and was caused by the boiling over of a still. The
flames were kept under for some twenty minutes
by the workmen. and an engine was sent fur, but
before the apparatus could be got upon the grouncl,
the fire had gained too much headway, and owing
to the combustible nature of the contents, the
whole structure was soon enveloped in flames.
The fire burned fiercely for several hours and
was not entirely subdued until eight or nine
o' clock last night. The factory was totally de
stroyed. In the buildings were about forty thous
and pounds of manufactured material, moulded
and ready to mould, and about a hundred and fifty
thousand pounds of raw material. The most of
the lard oil was rolled out and was saved. A
large quantity of palm oil had just i'een received,
but was in the. yard and thus escaped the flames.
The firm was largely engaged In the manufacture
of candles for the Cilifornie trade. About 400
boxes were made per day, and the shipments to the
Pacific coast numbered 18, 000 boxes per month.
Eighty persons, about twenty of whom were
women were employed upon the premiegs. Some
of the surrounding properties were in imminent
danger from the heat of the conflagration, bat
were saved through the exertions of the firemen
who succeeded In confining the flames to the cendle
manufactory, notwithstanding there was rather a
scanty supply of water. The cotton mill of S.:oft A.
McClure on the northeast corner of Twenty-third
and Hamilton streets took fire, but the flames were
speedily extingtuitied. The extensive mill of
mlgle & Bowman on the southwest corner was
threatened several times but escaped injury.
The lose of Messrs. Grant & Co. cannot be defi
nitely ascertained as yet It will not be less than
075,1 , U0 however. The principal loss sustained by
the firm will be by the puterreption of their
business. Preparations are already being made
to rebuild the establishment. The insurance upon
the building, machinery and stock amounts to
545.000, distributed among the following com

SHOCKING ACCIDENS.—A little boy naraed
Joseph Sanders, aged seven years, was run over by
a Green and Coates street car, at Eighth and Spruce
streets, between four and five o'ciock yesterday
afternoon. He was crossing the street at the time,
and got bewildered by a wagon going one direction
and the car in another way. One wheel passed
over his left leg causing a compound fracture,
makieg amputation necessary. The little fellow
was taken it to the Pennsylvania Hospi,al, and is
not expected to survive. The cars on Eighth
street are driven at a very daagerous rate of speed
from Pine street to 'Walnut, and it is rather fortu
nate that more accide,nts do not happen. On, a
few weeks since a man was killed by a car on this
line in the same neighborhood. Two lines use
Eighth street, and the object of the fest driving is
to get ahead of the car of the opposition line which
runs around Walnut street: After passing the
latter street, the cars are driven at a snail's pace,
with several minutes' stoppage at Chestnut street,
until Race street is reached. The fast driving is
dangerous and the slow rate is exceedingly annoy
lag to passengers. The officers of both companies
should immediately take measures to remedy these
matters.
THE BUIOLDLMIS YOB. TEM SAXITAILY FAIR.—

ranged, and the. contracts have been made for
nearly all the buildings. The centre building of
Gothic architecture, will be 500 feet long, 60 feet
wide and 50 feet in height, and will form one of
the striking features of the exhibition. The gas
fitters are ready to commence,work, and the plumb
ers are anxious to go to work. The material is
coming in, and it is estimated that not less than a
million feet of lumber will be used. The flag
staff, two hundred feet In height, is being prepared
and the derrick for its erection is already upon the
ground. It is proposed to have a flag raising on
Saturday afternoon, the 30th instant and that the
public shall be invited, particularly the pupils of

recent act of the Kentucky . Legislature securing
Kentuckians in the 'Union armies their Right Hf
huffrage; also, an address to those soidiero trout
the Union State Committee, showing' way they
ought to vote the Union ti , ket. Cu the main
question, the editor of the Union Press is thus ex
plicit :
• .We are a nation, not a mere confederation of
States. 'We cute had nen a confederation or
leer rie, and it proved a rope of sand. 'The Con
federation,' in Webster's words, "wasin strictness
a compact; the States, as States, were parties to
it. e had no other General Government But
that was found insufficient and inadequa , e to the
public exigencies. The people were not satisfied
with it, and undertook to establish a better. They
undeitook to form a General Government,_ which
standen a new basis: not a confederacy,
not a league, not a compact between States, but
a Constitution; a popular Government, founded its
popular election, directly responsible to the people
themselves and divided into branches, with pre
scribed limits of powers and prescribed duties.
They ordained such a Government; they gave it
the name of a Constitution.' Thus, . under the
guiding providence of Almighty God, the peorle
of the United States organized themselves into a'
nation. For high and noble ends was it called"
into being—.to form a more perfect union, estab
lish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide
for the common defence, promote the general wel
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty.'
"It hashed a glorious career.' It has exerted a
most bete:llcent influence. The hearts of the peo
ple in ad countries have turned to it instinctively.
Its progress has been viewed with admiration and
gratitude. Its continued life is felt by the people
to be of infinite importance, not Only to itself, but
to the world. Rebellion against the Government
of such a nation is treason to the best earthly
hopes of the human race. * * *. *
"This iniquitous rebellion against the so
vereignty of the American people is the work of
ambitious men, who have- south to ;destroy our
Nationality for the sake of building up an aristo
cratic government, with Slavery for its corner
stone. That Slavery is the real cause of the rebel
lion. the 'cause cat/sans,' we have _no doubt; but
practically it matters little-whether it be regarded
as cause or occasion. The conspirators, in its
interest and for the accomplishment of their
nefarious purposes, have sought to rend the
Republic asunder: In so using it as a means
for destroying the life of the Nation,
they have compelled the Nahon to destroy it. Sla..
very is dying; and it was the consummate, strict
dal folly of its would-be perpetuators, which ne
cessitated the mortal blow. The voice and con
science, indeed. of the civilized 'world, had con
demned the Slave System, and Emancipationists
all over the country earnestly desired, as Washing
ton and his compatriots had done, its gradual ex
tinction; but, in-spite of voice and -conscience, and
human desire, it;might have lived on indefinitely,
but for the madness of its friends.
"It is dying; its death-times may be fearful ;
but die it must. No power cn earth can save it.
It becomes wise.men to look at facts and govern
themselves accordingly. That Slavery is dying,
is a fact ; whetter welcome or unwelcome, still a
fact; aid therefore, Vas sooner it dies, the better
for all coi cetned. The transition time is the period
of uncertainty, trial, dissension and loss. That
time over, the institution felt and acknowledged to
be cead, men, white and black, will adapt them
selves to the new order of things ; hope-inspired
industry will revive ; the laws which regulate the
demand and supply of labor will assert their sway;
and a briehter day will dawn upon the enfran
chised nation."
ENLISTMENT ON SLAVES IN MARYLAND
Col. S. M. Bowman came to-day, a shadow of
his former self, worn nearly to death in the vast
labor of enlisting every male slave in Maryland of
lighting age and qualifications. He has cleaned
"M" Maryland" out, and knocked Bishop Hop
kinss divine institution into limbo. He raised, in
forty days, two full regiments of , as fine black
troops as can be found on the earth. He left no
sls'es fit for military duty in Megyland. He over
ran with his squads every county; they visited al
most every farm. .
The boats ran up every stream until masters
were obliged to bide their slaves in the woods, con
ceal them in boats, and con line them In jails anti
houses. He opened the jails .even. He has not
drawn one dollar from the Treasury, and his 3,000
black troops have not cost the Government five
per cent of what the same number of white troops
cost But in doing this work he laid aside all
tyle, all form and ceremony, went laic>. negro
churches nights, Sundays, whenever he could get
an audience, and always addressed them on this,
the great day of their salvation.
Bowman is a Western jury lawyer, and he plead
this case with the negroes of Maryland almost in
divilinally. His hours of labor were from BA. M.,
to 11 - P. M. Be personally inspected ever recruit,
and mustered the whole in squads, and singly ad
ministered the oath.—Wash, Car. N. Y. Tows.
OIL EXCrITIEFsAT ONCE FREN CREEL
The oil fever has extended to French creek, and
numerous sales of territory along that stream are
reported. The Meadville. Journal alluding to the
matter, says: • week the Shaw farm at
ihaw•s Landing was sold for 87,000. Another
farm, a short distance below, also belonging to
Mr. Shaw and known as the "llilbronner farm,"
was sold for 810,000. The party purchasing is
thoroughly posted in oil matters, and is_ familiar
with the whcle valley, as well as with the oil
territory on Oil creek, and is confident that the
prospects for oil on French creek are very bright.
There is no reason to doubt this. The show of oil
from the wells a few miles above Franklin, is
very profitable already, and territory in that
neighborhood is eagerly sought after. The fact
that oil is abundance is procured slang the lower
part of the creek, very- clearly indicates that it
exists all along the creek, and its development
depends entirely upon the enterprise bestowed in
exploring. At any rate, shrewd and experienced
operators have been attracted to this region, and
are investing largely, with the fullest confidence
that the valley abounds with oil."
