A . warrant was issued by the magistrate for - the arrest of the parties, and handed to Cap • ain Greer, of the Third Precinct for service. ! eking with-him a section of men, the Cap ain entered the gambling house, arrested the proprietors, one James D Henry, whom they found in the act of dealing; a colored waiter, and 21 patrons of the place, whom they found in the act of participating in the game, A number of gaming implements .and $7OO, which was found lying upon the tables, were seized by the police. On Sat urday the prisoners were arrainged before -Justice Connolly. The proprietors and Henry, the dealer were held to bail in the -.=.m of $5OO each to answer the charge at the Court of General Sessions, and the others were fined $5 each. The victim,it is stated, has lost $4,500 in addition to the above, in other places.—.N. Y. Tribune. DIMING the last year of the war, the Post • Office earned a net . profit of over :60,000 from mail service in the loyal States. The first three months that mail service was re sumed at the South there was a loss in the whole country of over $20,000. As' the mail routes are being extended over the. South .the deficiency rapidly increases. It is fortunate for the future student of history, that there exists a widely spread love of collecting material of every kind, illustrating the times through which we are passing, and a disposition to record in a printed form everything which illustrates remarkable events. There •was very little of this spirit extant during the Revolu tionary War, and the result was the loss of a vast amount of useful information. It is important that there should be many lives written of Abraham Lincoln by dif ferent men, as his Was the central one of the great war through which we have just passed, and since in history truth can only be learned from different sources. It is needless to say that the several books extant, calling themselves his biography, are all simply histories of Mr. Lincoln's time, and not carefully written reflections of the domestic and inner-life of the man himself. In fact the very short time which has elapsed since the late President's death would render it utterly impossible that a well digested and able book on the subject should have been written and published; and it is not to be doubted that Messrs. Holland and Barrett, the compilers o f the two best col lections of current facts relative to Mr. Lincoln which have as yet appeared, would themselyes admit that their own books were simply rather hastily made pieces de manu facture to suit a popular demand There is, in fact, a high degree of merit in both, considering their extremely unambi tioil and popular character, which deserves commendation. We may truthfully say of either, "Bon genre est ties petit, mais it est grand de son genres" 01 Mr. Roll • nd's ex cellent work especially, we have already expressed our warm appreciation. To have produced a biography of- Mr. Lincoln, so comprehensive, so philosophical, and so deeply interesting, in the brief space of a few months, indicates a degree of lite rary and intellectual force of no ordinary measure. Of the other lives of Mr. Lincoln, an nounced as forthcoming, we have first the great work of Mr. Robert Dale Owen, which, it is said, is to form two small octavo vol. nines of three hundred and fifty pages each, which will unquestionably be a work of great ability. The public is also promised a History of President Lincoln's Adniinistra tion, by Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, of Illinois— a work which will contain a great amount of very valuable material, illustrating the four years of the war at Washington. In connection with these may be mentioned a collection of Anecdotes of the late Abraham. Lincoln, by Charles Godfrey Leland, in which the life and characteristics of the sub ject are illustrated by a vast amount of the stories and incidents relative to Mr. Lincoln, of which so many are still current in the newspapers, and in conversation. The most remarkable work on the subject, among those announced, will probably be that life of Mr. Lincoln which is now being written by Mr. W. H. Herndon, who was for twenty years the law-partner and most intimate associate of him to whom the book is devoted. The reader has probably pe rused a portion at least of those admirable lectures on the late Abraham Lincoln, by Mr. Herndon, which were so extensively republished in.the newspapers, and so gene rallycommented upon as presenting remark able and highly -original reflections and descriptions. As it may be inferred that Abraham Lincoln would not have been for twenty years associated with a man of only ordinary capacity, it was not astonishing that these lectures should indicate in Mr Herndon genius of no ordinary kind. His description of Mr. Lincoln's personal ap pearance has become the standard and universally accepted word-portrait of the original, while his analysis of the mind and disposition of his subject, indicated a very rare combination of delicate examination and a strict conscientiousness, allied to a happy appreciation of all that is character istic and interesting. Mr. Herndon has, as the public will be glad to learn, determined to give as good a life of Mr. Lincoln—per sonal, social, domestic, religious and legal —as the possession of a vast amount of facts and illustrations (far transcending that held by any other man,) will enable him to do. Of his ability to set this material forth in a vividly interesting form,his•lectures are the best guarantee, as we 11 as the fact that for a very large portion of the incidents relative to Lincoln's early life now current, the public were originally indebted to Mr. Herndon— a truth which the writer of these remarks infers not from the frequent mention of Mr. H.'s name as authority for many interesting Linco/nana, but from the mere circumstance that no other one man so carious in matters of biography was so tho roughly conversant with the subject. It has been well observed that posterity may afford the beat biographers of a man's public life; but for his early Career, we must depend on those of his own time. To. this early career of Lincoln previous to his life at Washington, Mr. Herndon has, it is said, devoted great attention, and collected a vast amount of exceedingly rich ma terial, which will set forth•" Father Abra ham" as a living personality, talking to the reader at his fireside, gravely or quaintly discussing in his law-offtce, and presenting, in fact, so much of everything which is not known of the subject as could be anticipated, even from a writer of Mr. Hersdon's saga city and collective disposition, aided by twenty years of the most intimate personal relations. It has been said that the lec tures of Mr. Herndon on Lincoln will be incorporated in the book. GERMANTOWN!! - Three lives of Mr. Lincoln have appeared in France, that by Achille Arnaud being reported as the best. Two are also an nounced, and are by this time published, in Germany. As there exists in France and Germany a passion for collecting • biog-_ raphies which reveal in detail the inner and LITERARY INTELLIGENCE Lives of the late President Lineoln. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 2. 1866. intimate life of great men, there can be no doubt that Mr. Herndon's life will meet with a rapid translation ha those countries. The love of ana, or of those anecdotes of the domestic and personal details which collec tively make up the whole character and elucidate it, is as yet comparatively tmdevel oped in this country in higher literature, although there is for it a popular demand which should encourage a most liberal supply. TEE GREAT BOND ROBBERY. How the Bonds Were Stolen---The Prisoner Arrested---His Personal Appearance and Demeanor ---Disposition that was Made of the Stolen Property, &o. [From to-day's N. Y. Tribune.) There is now little or no doubt that the leading operator in the recent gigantic rob bery of bonds from. Mr. Lord's office in Wall street, which created such a stir at its occurrence, has been taken into custody. He was arrested by City Marshal Westcott, of Newbnryport, and two of United States Murray's detectives of this city. The manner in which the shrewd thieves brought their plans of robbery to a tempo rary success was somewhat as follows: It was first ascertained that Mr. Lord kept in his safe an unusually large number of available securities, that he was rather careless in locking them up at night, that he seldom looked at the boxes containing them; and that a certain number of days, two or three at least, might elapse after the robbery before they would be missed. Several plans were concocted and aban doned, each one involving a new party, until the number of seven were intrusted with the secret. Horace Brown (as he is called), the prin cipal operator, was selected to do the finer portion of the work. He visited the office several times and ascertained the precise situation of affairs, learned the habits of Mr. Lord, and soon ascertained that he could easily approach him on some business pre text. On Wednesday, the day of the rob bery, Brown and three accomplices placed themselves near the door 6fAlie office. The door of the safe at this timestood wide open, and Mr. Lord was at his desk. Brown en tered, and made as an excuse that he wished to rent an office for the purpose of doing a commission business in hops and making advances upon this staple.. He placed him self in a position where his own eye could command the door, and began talking very earnestly to Mr. Lord. Having secured that gentleman's undivided attention he gave the signal to his accomplices, who entered sud denly and noiselessly and abstracted the boxes. Brown at the same time moving his feet to create some noise, and speaking still more emphatically on the hop question. As it is no unusual matter to see tin boxes car ried along Wall street, at any time of the day, these were taken with perfect impuni ty. Brown left directly afterward and joined his comrades. The bonds were then taken to a secure place and looked over. To make each man secure it was proposed to divide them into seven parcels, making about the sum of $215.000 to each man. This being done, a rendezvous was appointed, where at some time, to be decided according to circumstances, the parties should meet and negotiate for their return. The first thing was to await the annoucement of the reward, which they were certain would be offered. This done, the nest matter was to fix a time and place where the seven could meet and negotiate the return of the pro perty. Boston was the city chosen, and March 22d, the day named for the gathering of the precious assemblage. It is stated that some negotiations were already pending when the Marshal's officers arrested one of the parties. _ City Marshall Westcott of Newburyport, Mass., recieved information relative to the whereabouts of Brown that led him to sus pect that that person was in some way mixed np in the great bond robbery. As he wanted Brown upon another charge he thought it would do no harm to look after him. He accordingly started for New York, gathering information as he went, and ascertaining that Brown was in this city, and was just then contemplating to go to Boston, he applied to United States Mar shal Murray of this city for assistance. The officers detailed for this business met their man at the New Haven depot on Monday night week, satchel in hand, and iollowed him over to Boston. The arrest was made on the cars,but as Marshal West cott could hold the prisoner on a charge at Newburyport he was taken there at once. Detectives Heath and Jones of Boston were then sent for, and had an interview with the prisoners. Marshal Murray was tele graghed by his men that the man was in custody, and Chief Young was also sent for. Brown confessed his guilt to the officers and seemed to make no scruples of how he had done the job. Chief Young came on armed with the power of an attorney from Mr. Lord to act the same as if that indi vidual were present; but all attempts at negotiation for that time failed. Brown's terms were terse and plain; he stated that he knew the location of the bonds, that they could only be brought back through him, and that the price he demanded tor them was $lOO,OOO cash and his liberty; otherwise they might send him to prison, and the bonds remain hid until doomsday. Chief Detective Young returned to New York, leaving the prisoner still in custody at the Ocean House. On Thursday night he left New York again for Boston. The man Brown, whose real name is, sup pressed at the request of the police, is a man of so marked an appearance as to ex cite attention at once. He is about five feet eleven inches in height, has dark hair and sharp piercing eyes, a broad. round, fall face, a very pleasant expression of coun tenance, large mouth, has a strong, sono rous voice, is full-chested, weighs about 150 pounds, and is about 30 years of age. He is of genteel address, entertaining in conversa tion, tells a story admirably and laughs very loud and hearty when moved to hu mor. He appears perfectly indifferent asto his fate, having given forth his ultimatum and waiting to hear the result. The case is ',certainly a curious one, and will probably become more deeply interest ing before it reaches a conclusion. THERE are three post-offices recently es tablished in the oil regions of Pennsylvania —The first, Pit Hole City; second, Pit Hole Centre, and third; West Pit Hole. Persons addressing friends in that section should be careful to designate the office. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. SANTIAGO, Feb. 26, 1866.—1 send to you the picture of the 'Virgin of Covodonga, which was found in the state room of the Spanish man•of--war of the same name, which was taken by the Chilian sloop-of war Esmaralda, Nov. 26, 1865, in order that you may give it some convenient place in the metropolitan church, with the object of preserving in the house of the God of Ar mies another memento of an exploit so glo rious to our national marine. Dios guarde a 11. S. FEDERICO ERRAZURIZ. The picture which retains its old frame, has received the following inscription: The Virgin of Covodonga. A picture pertaining to the war steamer Covodonga, taken by the sloop-of-war Es meralda, near the port of Papndo, Nov. 26, 1865. On Feb. 27, the Ecclesiastical Corporation of the cathedral sent the following reply : e In order to add another recollection of so glorious an event for our marine, to preserve it, and to offer a new homage to the God of Battles who is so visi bly protecting the justice of our cause, the Corporation in session to-day have voted to place this trophy upon the same pillar -to which is attached the flag taken from the same steamer. The portrait of Pedro Valdivia, presented a few years ago by the Queen of Spain to Chile, is placed in the Church of Valdivia, a little church attached to the nonse built and occupied by Valdivia, the founder of San tiago more than 300 years ago—a little low double house with tile roof. The Powhatan entered the port of Valpa raiso Feb. 28; three others are expected every moment; among them is the Monad nock. The Powhatan has not yet saluted the Spanish ships. The French sloop-9f-war Venus, it is said, will sail for the Mexican coast next Sunday. General prospects of the war seem to be flattering. We were, however, disappointed that the iron-clad from England for Peru did not arrive last month. It is expected every day. It would not be strancs if the Numancia destroyed a ship or two. How ever, she is so large that she can venture with much less safety in the dangerous Archipelago of Chiloe than the allied ships. It is a matter of some doubt whether all the allied ships could take her upon the open sea. The alliance of the Republics is causing. this war to assume a graver and more inte resting character. I think it will tell im mensely toward the advancement of South America. Undoubtedly; Spain will be de feated,and these Republics will be strong er, enjoy more permanent peace, become more liberal and havebetter laws. It wilt be a thunder -storm to pruify the atmo sphere and have more light. The expected vessels of the United State J SOUTH AMERICA. Details of the Naval Engagement in the Archipelago of Chiloe---Vic tory of the .Allies—Proffered mediation Rejected---Dis position of War Tro phies--Prospects of the Allies. &c. The New York Tribune's correspondent writes, in reference to the late South Ameri can naval engagement, us follows: SILICTIAGO DE CHILE, March I.—This combat took place near the southern limits of Chile, in the vicinity of the Island of Abtao. Here the allied fleet have been for many weeks. On the morning of the 7th of February the allied ships were poorly pre pared for an engagement. The Esmeralda, which captured the Covodonga, was in the Bay of Ancud. Only two at Abtao were able to move, as the others were undergoing repairs. At 3.40 P. M., the two Spanibh ships, Villa de Madrid and Blanca, approached, bearing the Chilean flag. The forces were as fol lows : Spanish Squadron—Villa de Madrid, 50 guns; Blanca, 36 guns; total, 86 guns; 1,100 men. Allied Squadron—Apurimac, 28 guns ; Union 'l2 guns; America, 12 guns; Covo donga, 8 guns; total, 55 guns; 900 men. A brisk firing, with shot, ball and shell was kept up with a few short intervals for two hours, until the Spaniards were obliged to retreat. On the part ;of the allies two men were killed and but little damage was done to their ahips,while the Spaniards are supposed to have lost over 100 men, and their ships were seriously , injured. Fifteen hundred shots, more or less, were fired on either aide. A well directed shell from the Covodonga destroyed the state room of the Blanca, and balls which struck the water line made the Blanca leak and tip badly to- one aide, and in this state she entered Valparaiso. Those fired by the Spanish fleet were badly aimed. After the engagement there were many things picked np from the Spanish ships, among others, a bust of the Queen of Spain, which had been placed in the prow of the ship. This combat was a real victory, although not a very decisive one for the allied forces. They displayed much bravery- and If the allied ships had been in readiness, the two Spanish ships would have been captured. The Spanish ship returned to Valparaiso, and again the Blanca, with the Numancia the strongest Spanish ship, left Valparaiso on.the 16th, it is supposed, to renew the en , counter. The people , are very anxious to know with what• success. Thus far, only defeat and disgrace have followed the Spanish force. Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, are allied against Spain. The last of these formed the, alliance January 30 in Quito. The people in Peru and Chile' received the news with great rejoicing. The policemen hurried through the streets, giving orders that flags must be put out from eachhouse, or be fined $5. Bolivia, it is said, has also declared against Spain. If she has not, she will soon, no official announcement has been received. It is supposed that the British and French Ministers have made propositions to the Chilian Government, which have been re fused on two grounds. 1. They were propositions to which they could not accede, and 2. There must be a consent by the allied Governments. It will be difficultfor Governments 12,000 miles distant to settle this question through representatives. I still think that the Spanish fleet will soon be conquered. When the Esmeralda captured the Span ish war steamer the Covodonga, the flag taken was hung up in the cathedral. This week the Minister of Public Worship and Instruction sent the painting of the fa mous Virgin of Covodonga to the dean of the cathedral with this note: squadron arrived yesterday, noon—the Vanderb. - 1, Tuscarora, and the Monad nock. .1 ,=terday, more than 300 persons visited t. ? Monadnock, a floating fort. rIII3E F'IEN-LA.NS. Excitement in Hamilton---The Entire Military Force Called Out Rumors of an In . vasion &c . [Correspondence of the New York World.) HAMILTON, C. W., March 31.—The whole of the Thirteenth battalion of volunteers, stationed in this city, were dismissed from active service this afternoon. Almost im mediately afterwards an order -was re ceived from the Adjutant-General's office, by Brigade -Major Vilners, calling out the entire force of volunteers in the city, includ ing the Thirteenth battalion, the naval brigade, and a field battery for 2 o'clock on Monday. Much speculation and excite ment in consequence, but no explanation has yet transpired. Similar ordcrs have been transmitted 'to all commanders of military districts throughout the Province. Of course, another grand volunteer rally followed the promulgation of this order. The members of the Thirteenth are jubi lant, and will respond to the call with alacrity, although there are no signs of the former wild excitemeet. The danger is not considered imminent, from the fact that the volunteers are not ordered to report until Monday afternoon. BEAVER. Homicide in Bourbon County, Hy.—An Ex-Rebel Major killed. [From the Parts Kentuckian, March 29th.] On last Monday a fearful tragedy was en acted in Millersburg, Bourbon county. Henry M. Boulden, of this county, about 19 years of age, son of Jesse H. Boulden, was being tried before the trustees of Millers burg for a breach of the peace, committed the night before; during the progress of the trial, young Boulden jumped up, drew his pistol, flourishing it and swearing,said "any person who said he fired his pistol the night before, told a lie, and he would kill the per s o.n who touched him." The Mai - shal attempt ed to arrest him,and called upon the bystand ers to assist, and in the attempt to do so, he fired his pistol twice, the first shot killing F. E. Waters, son of H. H. Waters, of Colum bus, Georgia, and formerly Auditor of that State. Waters was about twenty-one ears of age, and had lost a leg before At lanta during the late war, having been a Major in the 4th Georgia regiment. He was a student in the college at Millersburg, and was looked upon as the most brilliant young man in the institution. He was preparing to leave tor his home, with the intention of studying law under Governor Brown. When Boulden found he had killed Waters he was deeply affected, and kneeling over his prostrate body madegreatlamentations. Bonlden had an examining trial at Millers burg, the same evening, before Esquires Trigg and Barnett. They held him to an swer at the next April Bourbon Court,in the stun of $2,000, Jesse- H. Bonlden and Dr. Carpenter being his securities. The father of young Boulden paid theexpenses or Maj. Waters's funeral, and sent Joseph Miller with the body to Georgia. , Internal Revenue. Hon. E. A. Rollins, Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, has just issued the follow ing Circular: "Flasks and patterns, either of wood or iron, whether made by the foundrymen or purchased of parties whose business it is to make them, which have a commercial value and a common or general use, are liable to duty as manufactures, and must be returned for taxation. When foundrymen manufac ture flasks and patterns for their own use, which are of such a character or of such peculiar nature that they can only be used for the particular purpose for which they were designed; and which have no com mercial value, such flasks and patterns are not to be returned for taxation. Any ruling or decision of this office inconsistent with the above is hereby revoked. "Under the regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury, contained in his circulars, dated June 31st and September 14th, 1865; relating to articles manufactured in the States lately in insurrection, permission was given by this office to rework mouldy, flunky and other damaged tobacco, without the payment of the current rate of duty upon tobacco newly manufactured. In a circular, 'dated Feb. 2d, 1866, the Secretary directs that, on and after the Ist day of March, 1866, all privileges granted by for mer regulations inconsistent with the gen eral provisions of the law shall be and are revoked. The privilege of reworking or re manufacturing such old and damaged to bacco, I am satisfied is inconsistent with the general provisions of the law and open to great abuse. "It operates largely to the prejudice of manufacturers of fresh tobacco,and deprives the Government of large amounts ofrevenue while the occasion of the privilege no longer exists. In compliance therefore, with the recent instructions of the Secretary,the per mission heretofore granted to rework or re manufacture tobacco, with the payment of duties only upon , the increased weight, is hereby withdrawn. On and after the 15th day of April, 1866, it will be required that all manufactured tobacco and snuff, made wholly or in part from old cavendisb, plug, twist, or other kinds, which may or may not previously have paid a tax, shall be in spected and branded as new tobacco, and be liable to the same rates of duty as like descriptions of tobacco made from new ma terial or from the natural leaf. The special attention of all assessors. collectors and in spectors of tobaiico is called to this subject, and a rigid enforcement of this circular is hereby enjoined." PARDON OF CRIMINALS.—Three criminals were pardoned by the Executive on Satur day, viz: Jessee Simms, convicted on three indictments for smuggling, in the United States District Court Micbigan, and sen tenced to pay a fine of $l,OOO on each indict ment, and to be imprisoned until the said fine be paid. Simms has been in confine ment since June, 1865. Albert F. Gilman and Charles H. Gilman, convicted in the United States District Court 'of Massa chusetts, on the charge of passing counter feit fractional currency, and sentenced each to three years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of one dollar. They have been con fined since March, 1865. SCOTLAND bids fair to rival Pennsylvania in that new source of wealth which con sists in "striking ile." According 'to the Inverness Courier, many large fortunes are being made by the lucky finders of petro leum deposits. IN 1798, during the Irish rebellion, there were 140,000 British soldiers kept on the Island. F. L. FETHERSTON. Pohlis r, DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS A newspaper correspondent says that in Georgia, where. Sherman's army. made a sweep of all the carriages, the latildi liew go visiting in carts. They call them cartes de visite , and console themselves with the thought that they are in the height of fashion. The Legislature of Vermont, in October, will have two vacancies to fill, and Gov. Dillingham, it is said, has an eye on one of them.

Britton, one of the guerrillas who , recently seized the steamer Belfast, in the Savannah river, has been sentenced to the Nashville penitentiary for ten years.

The distance would be at least thirty miles. It appears to be an impossible engineering problem, but the Mont Cenis tunnel is cited in sup- port of the feasibility of the scheme. There are few undertakings the success of which would be hailed with greater satisfaction by the traveling public than this. No traveler to the Continent can ever forget that wretched English Channel and the misera ble little tubs of steamboats in which pas sengers are ferried across. IMPQUWATIDNS.
