A NEW LEASE OF LIF_F t • NEW W LEAbE a.a.FR Dr. Hadway' a Pills have granted me a new lease of life. For fifteen years I have suffered with Dyspepsia, Costiveness.lndigestion. I have taken a cart-load of pills of different mikes. but the re lief afforded by their operation was at Ate cost of severe suffering from Piles. If I stopped tskiug these pills one 'week, the old difficulty would trouble me. lat last struck a vein of gold, in Rad. way' s Pills—the - first dose acted so differently from all other pills, that I hoped for a cure—six boxes • made anew maa, of me; I am completely cured. No straining,, no piles, no weakness followed their nse. I gained strength with their use. I have not taken any physic for over a year, and am as ragged, strong and hearty as a bear. JAMES W.

TICE BLACK FLAG The authentic details of the massacre at it Pillow ;which are now reaching us,and the few words by telegraph from Plymelilth, North Carolina, which indicate that the banks of Albemarle Sound have been made the scene of similar atrocities, are absolutely sickening. In both cases a small forte of Union soldiers made a gallant resistance until they were completely overcome by su perior numbers, and when at last they threw down their arms and surrendered, the pris- oners, particularly those who had dark -skins, were murdered in cold blood. It was not the act of infuriated men in the moment of a hotly contested victory, but a deliber ate deed of butchery which was the work of hours, and which took time in its deliberate horrible cruelty to form its victims into lines, strip thenrof their, money and valuables,and then massacre them in pure savagery. This is not war, it is simply murder, and the pi rate who compels his prisoner to walk the plank" is just as much a naval hero as such fiends incarnate are soldiers. • If such horrid brutalities are to pass un punished, we might as well 'give up the con test, and acknowledge that the fierce enemy has subdued us as the wolf subdues his vic tim. The North rendered itself almost an object of contempt before the war, by the manner in which it suffered the Southerner to bring the manners of the plantation into the councils of the nation, and into the arena of political strife, and unless it sternly meets the bloody brigandage of the slave= owner, who beats down'all opposition, whe ther political or warlike, without regard either to the rights of man or the usages of civilized warfare, the cause of the Union and liberty will be disgraced 'and ruined. The President promised in his Baltimore speech that when a clearly authenticated case of the murder of prisoners was brOught to the notice of' the Government, " retribu tion" should follow. Such evidence has been furnished, and the retribution should be stern and swift ; but were full retribu tion'tobe dealt now as a punishment of all the acts of the slave-power for the last thirty years, the States in rebellion would share the fate of the Cities of the Plain, and the armed outlaws be swept from the earth as were the Egyptian and his host. Let the Government deal such retribution as the laws of human warfare justlfy, and leave the rest to a just God. THE PUBLIC SQUARES. We have been requested to call attention to the manner in-which the public squares, and especially Rittenhouse Square, are mis managed. During all this fine weather of the early Spring the square is .kept her metically sealed, to avoid any trifling incon venience to the superintendent as he lei surely attends to the work of putting things into order which never ought to be allowed to get out of order. But when all this is done the matter is little better. Some of the gates will be opened and , others kept locked, so that a person wiaO passes through the neighbor hood and thinks he would like to get a little shade and look at the grass, ten to one liuds the gate of his intended exit locked, and goes chasing round the square, with great loss of time and temper,to get out. .ThlgTs not an occasional, but akontinual trouble, and the gates are managed so capriciously that few persons will now enter Rittenhouse Square ex&pt those who go for express purpose.; . There Is no reason whatever that all the squares should not be kept open allyinter, as Independence Square is, or ti.t leait from the first of March till the first of December. The superintendents are well paid, and can afford to give their whole time to the squares, instead of making a sinecure of their posi tions for four or five months in the year. We trust this matter will begooked to. • HIGH PRICES. The enormous increase-in the price of ar ticles and commodities of every description, from the needless . and costly luxuries to the indispensable necessaries - of life,is naturally attracting the attention of our. people.• The former can And should be dispensed with,but those which are required for the daily consumption must be procured, unfortu nately, regardless of the rates demanded. The inconvenience and suffering which now pervade almost every home, and which. threaten to make gaunt spectres of the in mates, have been brought about by many causes, the principal of which have been gold speculations, Copperhead influence and the extravagance of the people. If the wholesale or retail merchant is asked, why his commodities advance so inordinately, he refers you to the price of gold, although in many instances the rate of coin or bullion has actually had no effect whatever upon the article. Still- there is no denying the fact that the prices of all commodities are influenced more or less by the gold quota tions, and so long as selfish and unprinci pled gamblers adopt it as a means by which they may increase the contents of their purses, just so ling may we anticipate a continuance of the present difficulties,in se curing a sufficient amount of comestibles to keep hunger from the mortal frame. The" efforts of the Administration, the proceed ings of Congress, mid the threats of State Legislatures have thus far failed to thwart the infamous plans' and projects of the speculators, and we can only look forward with anxiety to the hour to arrive,when our gallant armies, North, South and West, shall march forward in-battle array, to vic tories more . brilliant than any which have yet been recorded upon the pages of Ameri can history, with the hope that those suc cesses may have their influence upon the public currency. In the same category with these gamblers may be placed the Copperhead fraternity, residents of the North who disgrace them selves—if that is poSsible—and their fellow countrymen, by their acts andwords, giving encouragement to the traitors at the South, to prosecute their designs against the Go vernment. The leading Southern journals but express the hopes and expectations of the rulers - and people of rebeldom, when they asser , almost dell" - , that in 'the inva sion hich they expect to make into the loyal ates, they are to be assisted and re inforced by the Copperheads and Peace men of the Commonwealths through which they march. Many of these vile traitors are in cluded among the gold speculators, while others of their number, who are too timid to engage in such schemes, give material aid by their darpings and strictures of the Ad minist.ration, and .by ventilating their one sided ideas as to the prospects of success and defeat. Our extravagance we have said is another cause of our suffering. The principal thoroughfares of our cities and towns never wore a more brilliant - aspect than they i do at the present time, and have'done almost ever since the rebellion first began to assume its great and hideous proportions. The side walks are swept with the silken trains of passing beauty,which less than three years ago was adorned only with a low-priced calico ; dwellings, which until a recent date contained only the articles of household furniture absolutely necessary for use, now excite theenvy of the beholder by the beauty and luxury of the display; and storekeepers who formerly induced the purchasers to enter their places of business,by the cheap ness of the articles tastefully arranged in the windows and cases, now accommodate their offerings to the extravagance of the times. In filet,whichever way we turn, w 9 sep some evidence of the undue expenditure of money. With . all due deference •to the ladies of the North, we must say they have' had much to , do with the existing trouble, but they can effect Much in accomplishing a change. The good work has in fact already-begun, arid we congratulate the fair sex upon their adoption of cheaper fabrics and diminished garments, whether the latter be in the form of a contracted skirt or an abbreviated jacket. Let ''Shoddy"invest its suddenly acquired gains in costly foreign silks, satins and jewels; but patriotic mis tresses and maids should emulate the humility of their ancestors until the war has terminated,when they can again,if they select, adorn their persons with useless but attractive decorations. '/HE CITY'S QUOTA. It appears that some of the districts into which the city is divided have furnished over their quota, and some under, and in order to relieve these last, it is proposed to transfer the excess of men in the former to them. And as those districts that raised an excess did so• by private subscription, it is proposed that this money be repaid to them, not, by those districts which are to be relieved, but by the city - at large.. That is; the districts are to contribute towards repaying themselves. There are reasons, however, which render this whole scheme of transfer unjust and impracticable. No one knows at what time a further. draft may be ordered, and then ttose districts which halt now furnished TITF DAILY EVENING BULLETIN ' PHILADELPHIA, T TRPDAY: APRIL 26 1864 an excess have an absolute right to.have that excess credited to them on the new call.. This is a right which no. action of Government, especially of a municipal Government, can deprive them ; certainly not without their own consent. Any money paid by the city as propoSed, towards effecting - this transfer, will be thrown away, and is our treasury in a condition to afford to throw money away ? Let those who lave to pay taxes and furnish it, answer. THE MILITIA REFORM. A bilf is now before the Legislature en tirely remodelling our State militia system, which is now as bad as it can be. It should receive the earnest attention of our citizens, that any defects which it may contain play be removed. It is greatly . - to be reir' etted that this matter was 'not brought forward at an earlier stage of the session, for a pro per law ought to have been already pass* and in operation at the present time. The subject is one whose importance cannot be exaggerated, and should receive the atten tion of the Legislature in preference to eVerything else, until the enactment is put into the best possible shape, and passed.
