We have been requested to call attention to the
following appeal for the famine sufferers in Swe
den, and to say that any sums left with Mr.
Wetherby, 625 Walnut street, for thie eharity,will
be judiciously appropriated, and acknowledged
in the columns of this paper:
The news from Sweden is appalling. Three
hundred thousand of her people are on the eve
-of starvation..__The.followingArioquentietter- has
been addressed to Mr. Seward by W. W. Thomas,
-.Jr., of Portland, Maine. Mr. 'Thomas was for
three years consul at one of the Swedish ports,
and is a gentleman of known ability and hu
manity. His appeal ought to awaken a generous
and prompt response.
Three hundred thousand hard-worked, patient
„Swedes are starving in Norrland. Their crops
for three years have been bad; last year they were
an utter failure; and now even their miserable
- bread, made of straw and the bark of trees, has
given nut. They sit in their cheerless huts and
-die. My private adviees from Scandinavia repre
sent this calamity as worse even than the pub
lished accounts.
For three years I represented the United States
in Sweden;•for three - years I found - you, sir; ever
the firm friend of the Swedish immigrant, and
this emboldens me to suggest to you a method
for relieving these starving souls.
Send a Government vessel to New York, lot the
newspapers announce(as they will gratuitously)
that this vessel is ready to take to Sweden all
contributions of food, such as flottr, corn, pota

that our large-tearted rnerchantsvill in a short

A relief committee, composed of the most
timable men, has been formed at Gothen
burg, and to 'them this cargo of mercy could
be given, with the certainty that every kernet
of it would find Its way to the homes of the suf
ferers.
Then, sir, both you, A merica.and the merchants
of our land, will have done a noble deed of Chris
tian charity.
But does not America, in some sense. owe this
act to Sweden? How many of that Northland
fell in our great struggle? and can. we ever forget
that to the Swede--John Ericsson—we owe the
Monitor?
Such an act, too, cannot help bearing fruit. It
must, among other things, swell the plenteous
tide of immigration now setting in to our shores.
Again will it not be a grand historic spectacle to
see this young Republic stretch forth its giant
arm to shield from suffering and death some of
the people of the most aristocratic old kingdom
of Europe—the birthplace of chivalry?

.
[From the Rock Island Union. March 11.)
—AbrnitierVelnet yesterday.moreing tire - gorged
ice opposite Rock Island hoisted anchor, and
slowly began moving down stream. An immense
field of it still clung to the Davenport shore, and
the open channel was not over one-third the
width of the river. Gradually the moving mass
increased in rapidity, as the impatient - body
above found an opening, piling huge, irregular
cakes on top of each other, grinding
the heavy edges and rushing down the
channel with a grand and irresistible velocity.
The chisel beats and barges of Messrs. Case oz
Co., which lay a short distance below the point
of the Island, firmly blockaded by the Ice, were
carried along with the current. Live men were
on board one of the barges, trying to save some
part of the wreck, when the movement com
menced. Escape was impossible and all they
could do was to sit still and trust to Providence.
Huge masses of ice piled around their frail boat,
almost hiding them from view at times, as they
were rapidly carried down the channel. An im
mense crowd of people collected on the shore,
watching with eager interest the imperiled men,
but unable to do anything toward rescuing them.
---The-gorge which elosed thnfnrther progress of
the lee runs from the Rodman Mills diagonally
up stream until It strikes the Davenport shore.
Below this line the ice is but little broken. :When
it gorged here the water rose rapidly in the upper
end of the city, flowing out of Madison street to
Illinois and from thence across Orleans to Rock
river. During the afternoon the whole lower
floor of Biddison's steam sash and door factory
was under water, and boys were floating about
with skiffs. Sidewalks wore washed from their
moorings, and floated loosely through thestreets,
and Illinois street, especially from the depot east
ward, was a mass of floating debris. The water
found a channel by way of Eagle street into the
slough, making the larger part of the city a pro
tective Island.

short time the water covered' the floors of the
houses on Mississippi street, driving the occu
pants to their upper rooms, and compelling them
to remove their goods. The current rushed
through the streets leading toward the bluff, and.
the dwellers in the vicinity of the slough found
themselves in the same predlexment as those
along the levee. Illinois street was overflowed
from Eagle street eastward, and beatable channels
were pouring across at streets farther down. Cel
lars were rapidly filled, and no little amount of
damage was done to goods on the first floors of
adjacent stores and dwellings.

?steamboat Explosion "at Richmond,
Va.--Sereroll Personal Injured.
[From the Peternberg Expreee of the 14th.1
A serious accident occurred Thursday after
noon on board the steamer John Sylvester,within
a few minutes after she bad left City Point for
Richmond. It appears that one of the steam
chimneys exploded, killing a colored man named
Druid Bmith, and badly scalding Mr. John C.
Tilford, of Williamsburg, in the face and on the
hands: also Israel Brown and Henry Cneman,
both colored. The extent of the damage to the
steam( r did not prevent her proceeding to Rich
mond, from the Disputh of which city we gather
the following particulars:
"The explosion occurred about half-past two
o'cleck, just after the steamer bad gotten about
o hundred yards from City Point wharf, on
her way to this city. There was no warning—a
tremendous explosion startled all on hoard, who
were in a moment ens eloped in a dense Claud of
lecke and steam. Great confusion ensued, all
thinking of their own ,afety. Some of the ladies
fainted, w bile otlierr attempted to crawl through
the cabin windows; but seeing that the danger
was over. aeon became calm, and devoted their
rules to relieving the sufferings of the wounded
and restoring the ladies to consciousness. For
tunately Dr. Macgill, of this city, was on board,
and administered all necessary aid to the injured.
"The cause of the explosion was the giving
waytof the socket bolt in the starboard steam
chimney, and, as we have said, took all by sur
idise. The passengers and hands were scattered
about the boat. 31r. Tilford, one of those scalded,
as in the upper cabin asleep near the port
toiler, and awoke to find himself some ten yards
tram the place where he laid down. Ile jumped
up, closed his mouth, and broke through the
cabin wir.dcw into the air, thus saving his life.
Henry Coleman (colored). also scalded. was.
_rooming his horse rear the boiler. and was
(down several feet, alighting softly, and receiving
co injuries excepting from the steam.
hire in Jefferson,Texas-A Large Por
tion of the own Destroyed—Loss
over a Million Dollars.
The Jefferson (Texas) Jimplecute, extra, of the
Ist; has the following:
Just at eleven creloc - k last night a fire broke
out in the rear of ROE enberg's confectionery, near
the corner of Vale and Dallas streets. The wind
was blowing heavily from the southwest, and
[be flames spread with such rapidity that
all exertion proved unable to stop its head
way. In thirty minutes from the time the. fire
watt discovered, it had' completely enveloped
he barber shop of Gus Smith. adjoining (Moon
c. Iluelman's confectionery and R. B. Howell's
torehcuse. It then spread with fearful rapidity
down the right sideof Dallas street, and iu a short
time had crossed the street to H. B. Orton etc Co.'s
Urge building opposite, and down the left side of
Dallas, destroying the two entire blocks, clear to
Levee street, where the brick building of Graham
' Taylor stood the shock, and stopped the flames
in that direction. The right side of Dfdlas street
is turned to clear the levee.
On reaching :lie large and magnificent building
of Russell & Co., the flames crossed Austin street,
and destroyed the two large frame buildings be
lorging to Mrs. Kinnear and J. Bruckmiller.
While these buildings were burning the large
house of Bateman v Bro., containing several
thousand bales of cotton and immense piles of
goods and groceries, was •in imminent danger,
I,nd only Paved by the greatest exertions.
For some time the struggle was to keep the
flames from crossing Vale street, which was only
done by the almost superhuman efforts of a few
gallant HMIs, who were scorched by the flames
on the top of T B. Goyne ek: Co.'s, and Goldberg
liesenthall's storehouses. Rad the flames
crossed here, there would have been nothing at
cell left of our unfortunate city. As it is. all the
main business portion of the place is destroyed.
embracing four of the largest blocks and por
tions of others. We deeply regret to say that
the city authorities had no organization what
ever in the way of ladders, axes, buckets, or any
thing else, to assist in staying the destruction.
As to how the fire originated, we cannot tell, but
dint we are all ruined together, is a fixed tact.
Our office was for a long while in imminent
danger, and ~catteied fore and aft. We lose
500 or $l,OOO, and shall not be able to issue
on Tuesday without we obtain a great deal of
nelp.
Gen. McLaughlin had his whole company
• prortyptirortlie — ground, -and -himself. •and- men_
did everything on earth they could to subdue
!he flames and save property, for which he de
,erves the thanks of all. The freedmen
worked faithfully, wherever there was work
to do, and many of them acted nobly,
indeed. It was thought for some time during
he fire that several lives had been lost, but the
parties are all safe, and nobody seriously hurt.
The Phcenix and Etna Insurance Companies are
the principal losers, so far as we have'learned.
There was less disturbance than usual on such
occasions. and very few were intoxicated, which
was probably owing to the fact that the United
States troops were patroling the city after the
tire wan over.
The Jinlpkcute gives a detailed list of the suffer
ers by the fire, the amount of their loss, &c. The
total value of the merchandise destroyed it esti
mates at $595,250; buildings, $189,350; two thou
sand bales of cotton, $200,000; other articles,
$22,000. Total loss, $1,000,500. The insurance
on the buildings destroyed was very small, pro
bably not one per cent. on the loss.
Fire at Lambertville, N. J.
[From the .Trenton American, March IL)
Yesterday morning, about, five o'clock, the
main buildings of the Rubber Manufacturing
Company took fire and were destroyed, together
with the contents. The loss is estimated at
$20,000. The efforts of the firemen proved in
effectual because of the combustible nature of the
material.
—An account of the wedding trouBscau of the
Archduchess Maria Theresa, of Este, lately mar
ried to Prince Louis of Bavaria, says : "The jew
elry was of great magnificence, and is valued at
some millions. The most splendid of all was a
diadem formed of large brilliants of unusual size.
"There were also - two either . diadems, hardly-infe
rior to this in value or brilliacy; a diadem and
stomacher of diamonds: "there Were, also two
bracelets of silver, studded with large diamonds,
a present of the .Empress Elizabeth. Rings,
necklaces, brooches, rare pearls, and magnificent
emeraid&covered the tables."
—Mr. Hinton announces that. Walt Whitman
has nearly completed a final edition of hispoems.
Thissedition, it is stated, is "in better consecutive
order, with many new pieces, and especially with
anew part or collection, in which ho has practi

picting the religions element in the characterand
personality which is considered by him necessary
to the completeness of his work."
OL COUNTRY
A corn epondent of the Cincinnati Gfr:, , tt., tips
Ltd a "talk" with Senator Wade. From his let
ter rte txtrr,ct the following: C-
In the outset it may be said that Mr. Wade dis
plays a feeling with reference to the great duty
that, is at out to come upon him, very eretiltßl)le
to his judgment, and very little in accord with
some popular notions of his character. "I dOn't
suppose any body will believe me," be says—"at
letst, it Is the fashion not to believe such things,
and so I suppose there is no use saying it; but,
in truth, I would a great deal mther escape
this seeming prospect of the Presidency than
not, if I could do it honorably. and without
desertion of duty. I don't mean to say that
I wouldn't like to be President-4 would be a
fool to say that. Bat to be a piece of a President
—to go in for a fragment of it year, in the midst
Of the excitement of the Presidential election,
:when there is so much to do and so little time to
do it, is tot a thing to be coveted. Under the
Circumstances, there's no great honor_in it: its
only my fortune to be -in the place that may
,make it necessary; and there is no chance for
much of a career in it. I'll have plenty of time
to make thousands of enemies by my appoint
nts, and not time enough to make many
friends by my administration."
"Now I would like," continued the bluff old
yeteran with characteristic frankness, "I would
like to stay where I am, and I don't make any
tsecret of it. This is something that I think I
know something about. I've been in Congress a
bong time, and I relieve I knew what a member
of Congress ought to do. If. I can't stay In the
Senate, then I should like to get :IS near to it as I
can, by presiding over it. As toryour Presidency.
I haven't tried it ; and I know very well that its
duties required different order of. !acuities and
different kind of work. I'Ve never had the Pr e .
a-We:will] fever very bad. The Senate was good
enough for me, and if I'd had my own way, there
stouldn't have beer, much likellhood.of my ever
trying to get out of it."
In many ways and at Mani , times the Senator
Las expressed the same ideas, with a sincerity
thatis transparent and unmistakable. There can
be no doubt that he regards the office that seems
likely to come upon him, not as a prize to he
coveted, but as a dangerous duty that may be
required and cannot be honorably avoided. Nor
can there be any doubt as to the desire frankly
expres:cd, to remain at the head of the body of
which be has so long becw, : ..l,naember. The peo

"People itho think there's great danger of my
rushing heaolong, into war," continued the Sena
tor, "or doing some other extreme thing, simply
because I've always had the habit of speaking
my mind freely, don't seem to know much about
human nature. I suppose that increase of power
and responsibility always tends to make a man
mere cautious. I know very well that it is one
thing fer a man to act for himself, on his own
individual responsibility as a senator, and quite
another thing to act on the same sub
jects when ho is in a position where
every movement he makes will affect the
whole nation. And, if men think that I have
sometimes-advocated measures-with-intemperate
zeal, let them look to see where I have ever ori
ginated one in that spirit. There is my public
record in the Globe—N•e been a -free talker here
for seventeen years, and have generally taken all
the responsibility that seemed,to belong to me—
let, them look over the Globe and see what my in
, temperate actions have been.. I've always wanted,
von know, to travel ahead, on the skirmish
sine of our principles ' but have tried never
to get so tar ahead as to be captured by the
enemy. Now, you know my course here
u ell enough. You know that I never differed, to
any serious extent, from my party, except on one
matter. As to everything else, why if I was
wrong, my party was wrong, and the majority of
the American people were wrong; if I was intern
- perate in action or-over-zealous, or extreme, or
impracticable, so were they. But on one point I
did differ from my party. That was in opposing
Mr. Lincoln's course in pocketing our Recon
struction bill and setting up a reconstruction
policy of his own—exactly the thing that has got
us into all this trouble now. I did feel much
opposed to that, and I said so. That splendid
f6ilow, Winter Davis, and I published a paper
about it. I've never taken back one word of that
paper, and I stand by it now. The Republican
' party now takes exactly the ground that Winter
Davis and I took then, and the trouble we've got
into arises from the President's taking the oppo
si‘e ground, that reconstruction belongs to him
and not to Congress. More than that, Mr. Lin
coln himself came over to our view before his
death. Mr. Sumner can tell you all about it.
Only a short time before the assassination, Mr.
Lincoln told Senator Sumner that that thing
was the great error of his life, and that he
never Bladuld have given occasion for what
the papers called the Wade and Davis mani
festo. Now, what other intemperate measures
have I taken? I am very proud that from the
Committee on Territories I reported the first pro
vision prohibiting slavery in all the territory of
the United States to be subsequently acq aired. I
reported the bill for negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and I got it-in on the first day
of the session. I got Nevada and Colorado into

landitcham on Now Hampshire.
[From the Dayton Lodger.)
The result of the election in New Hampshire
yesterday again proves the lesson of all history,
that in unsettled and revolutionary times, in all
countries, and perhaps at all times, in a young,
growing, vigorous country like ours, the bold
party is the one which wins. And it
is. oar deliberate conviction that the
prompt impeachment, on the one hated, of
Andrew Johnson, and on the other, the sweet
alacrity with which he submitted, trusting in
"God, the people, and the Courts," but without
- keeping.his powder dry," or making any prepa
ration before venturing to provoke Congress to
battle—unless, indeed, it was he bought that
nitro-glycerine in New York—turned the scale
and gave to the Republicans the victory in New
Hampshire. Last Summer and Fall, hesitancy,
-policy" and dissension, characterized the Re
publican party, as boldness, earnestness and har
mony did. the Democracy,and we were victorious
everywhere. Since October and November,
the picture has everywhere been re
versed. Unity and audacity again char
acterize the Republicans, and tim
idity and policy the Democrats. The Senatorial
election in Ohio; the Senatorial election in Ken
tucky ; the refusal of the Maryland Legislature to
reelect Senator Thomas when denied his seat; the
triumph of The New York lVorld politicians in
the National Democratic Committee; the inaction
of the Ohio Legislature, and various other similar
circumstances; indicate that the Democratic
party, just now, is not the "unterrified Demo
clay" of "Old Hickory's" time.
The following disclosure is made by the Wash
ington correspondent of the Syracuse Journal:
Whoever believes the accidental President will
remain quiet until the trial is ended; may know
human nature '
but he certainly does not under
stand that of A. J. One thing is certain, that
quiet as all appears on the surface, the gravest
apprehensions of a seilous collision here aro felt
by parties who have the best means of judging,
ana the largest stake in the contest. Perhaps
I may be considered sensational, If I say
that Secretary Stanton has excellent reasons
for apprehending an attempt to. ' , obtain eon
trol by force of his 'department. Yet, what I
state is.the simple truth. on may rest, 118611.1M1.

NVADM'S " EXTREME R.AIPIeALI,Of
RUntors of a hebel Consptracy•
that Mr. Stanton is well Informed of the move
ments going On in this city and vicinity. They
are aangerous. Of that there can be no douse..
The President has definitely taken another step
forward in the certain and direct' collision which
be evidently seek?. As you know, the Adjutant-
General took his ecatnttile Cabinet meeting, in
lis rid character. At that Cabinet Mr.
Johnson demanded of his Secretaries that they
fral to recognise Mr. Stanton. It is understood
!hat Thomas will issue orders looking to a
forcible occupation of what he calls "my Depart
ment:- also, that in relieving Hancock, he will,
ail . Secretary of War, issue an order forming the
Military District of the Atlantic, and . place the
General in command. Grant will, It is believed,
refuse to promulgate them. Thomas will persist
in issuing them. Grant is to be placed under
arrest for disobedience. Gen. Emory, it is un
derstood, is to be placed in this position first.
Gen. Gordon Granger has been he-e for some
weeks. He is in thorough sympist*, with Andy.
Hancock will soon be here. she command
ant of this post (not Emory, who commands the
Department) is also reported to be in sympathy
with Andy. It is declared, on good authority,
too,. that among the schemes -which -have been
seriously discussed, is one for the seizure of-the
Capitol, and the preventing of Congress from as
sembling. All these, and many others of a
similar nature. are not made public. The effort
is to keep &em quiet. They come to me
through credible channels. Ido not vouch
for them, but only mention them
as among the strong probabilities
of the situation. There is ono suspi
cious fact. The town is full of Maryland rebels,
as well as numbers from the extreme South.
Two-thirds of the visitors hero are of that section.
' The "down-the-Potomac" smugglers, mail car
riers and guerillas of the rebellion have been
represented here quite largely. Men who were
trained in the secret service declare that scores of
the most notorious of these men have been and
arc in the city. Persons known to be in
the most contidatial relations' with the Presi
dent have been seen in communication with
such men. When I say that at the War De
partment and Armyslleadquarters these things
are known. watched and preparedfor, I only
speak with due moderation. It is 'knownthat
on one occasion, at least, and others are reported,
Gens. Grant. and Howard were summoned to
Headquarters after midnight; the reason being
the gathering at different points near the War
Department of several bodies of men,, in"
groups of from two to six, and the fact
that communication was evidently going on
among them by means of signals, such as whistles,
&c. The Virginian guerrilla chief Mosby
was here some days ago, and bought a- large lot
of condemned military saddles at a government
sale. He said that they were bought on specula
tion, but in view of the fact, proved to the satis
fact;on of those whose business it is to know
these things, that a great deal of correspondence,
communication, and assembling of his partisans
has recently occurred, and that it is mysteriously
given out that they are about to do something,the
. fair inference is that the saddles are wanted for
such use, as the opportunity the Mosbyites be
lieve may offer. Within a short time, a new
secret Copperhead organization has been started
here. Cornelius Wendell is the prime mover
M it. There are three divisions or "chapters"
as they are termed, already organized. Two
of them are commanded by ex-rebel colonels.
They give out their design to be. protection
against a negro raid, which they- deelare , will
metr when the impeachment trial begins. These
things, and many others we know of, are straws
. which serve to show the public what is talked of
at least. They are worth noting Many rate, be
cause they show how absolutely essential to the
peace and welfare of the country it is to com
pass, legally, the removal of Johnson. "Im
peachment is Peace."
Rills Hospital for the. Eye and Limb.
.11r. Editor—l was pleased to observe in a late
number of your excellent paper some reference
to RILLS HOSPITAL as an Orthopedic Institution.
Means and accommodation are, indeed, all that
are necessary to render it everything that can be
desired in this respect; and surely, with the foun
dation already laid, a location unrivaled for
healthfulness and beauty, and an efficient surgi
cal staff, it is hardly wise, to say no more, to es
tablish, for the same object, another charity,
which cannot possibly possess equal advantages.
The truth is, Mr. Editor, that no other is really
necessary. Wills Hospital, now chiefly and fa
vorably known as an Ophthalmic Institution.
because money is wanting for Its full de
velopment, is intended to include' disease and
injuries of the limb as well, and with proper en
largement would be one of the most valuable
Orthopaedic institutions In the world. Under
the latter part of its designation, patients with
lameness from any cause—disease, recent acci
dent, or original malformation—could be ad
mitted into its ward, and it would thus become
in effect almost a gentral hospital, with the addi
tional advantage over any mere private enterprise
of regarding,wiih a single eye,tho proinotion;of the
public good. Three of the gentlemen who are
mentioned in connection with the projected In
firmary are managers also of Willa' Hospital, and
it may well be supposed that in thus lending the
support of their names theyffittle thought of in
curring the charge of unfaithfulness to their trust.
