TilE ROSEOMANS MISSION.
Daily developments show that the Senate
was egregiously deceived when it confirmed
the nomination of General Rosecrans as Min
ister to Mexico. So far from the appoint
ment being a proper one, his subsequent con
duct proves that General Rosecrans is in full
sympathy with Tammany Hall and its South
ern branch, just now located at the White
Sulphur Springs. Instead of busying him
self with the adjustment of our relations with
Mexico, he is trying his hand, as a new
fledged diplomatist, in fixing up treaties with
the rebel officers and politicians who are now
plotting mischief at Greenbrier, 'Virginia.
.Alarmed at the fatal effects of
Blair and Hampton's open avowal ofi the
principles of the Democracy upon the minds
of the people, it has been resolved at Wash
ington that some antidote must be imme
diately concocted, or Seymour and Blair's
chances are gosh forever. According, Rose
crans, who hates General. Grant with a cor
dial hatred, gladly undertakes an extra mis
sion. The idea is to get General Lee,General
Beanregard, General Ewell, General Echols,
Governor Pickens, Governor Walker, and
others prominently connected with the rebel
lion to disavow these inflammatory utter
ances as representing the real sentiment of the
South. It is proposed that the general
officers of the Confederate army and
other Southern representative men shall
issue a manifesto, representing the
views of the South •in a light to do away
with the impressions created at the North by
the indiscreetspeeches of Blair, Hampton,
Fonest• and other rebels. Rusecrans, de
lighted to damage the man whom he so often
disobeyet. in Tennessee and illississippi,seems
to have gone into this precious scheme with
great zest, and it is understood that a grand
scheme has been contrived, in the shape of
an address to the American people, which is
to do wonders for Seymour and Blair, and to
demolish Grant and Colfax Tor ferever.
The transparent folly of this whole pro
ceeding lies in the notion that the loyal peo
ple of this country care the value of a copper
for the opinions or protestations of these rebel
conspirators. Men who have proved them
selves incapable of appreciating the value of
an oath,as these men have done, have forever
lost their claim to the confidence of the
people. There is no choice __.between .
the assertions of Hampton and Forrest, and
those of Beauregard and Lee. All these men
are, by their own assumption, "the soul of
honor." All of them are, by their own de
liberate acts, utterly precluded from all claim
as teachers or leaders of the honest American
masses. It is as great impudence for Robert
E. Lee to address the public or to express
an opinion as to who shall or who shall not
be President of the United States, as it is for
Wade Hampton, or Howell Cobb, or Jeffer
son Davis to do so. And so it will be found,
when this precious Rosecrans plot is fairly
placed before the public eye. It is a rather
bunglingly-contrived piece of the old
Democratic dodge of singing different tunes
to different audiences, of being "all things to
all men,if by all means they may save some."
Lee and Beauregard and Stephens are to
pipe notes of peace to the North, while Blair
and Hampton are to raise their voices, "still
for war," breathing out threatenings and
slaughter, to fire the Southern heart, and
terrify the timid into subjection. The trick is
too old. The people of this country are not
going to put their consciences into the hands
of the men who have proved that they have
no consciences of their own. The people
trust Grant, because they know how well he
has served them in their greatest need. They
know him to be modest, wise, moderate, and
thoroughly patriotic. They do not trust
either Seymour and Blair, because they see
that every rebel and Copperhead upholds and
endorses them. And this plan of bolstering
up the "Lost Cause" of Tammany Hall by a
Convention of approved rebels at the White
Sulphur Springs, will be accepted as a gross
insult upon the loyalty an - d - common sense
of the people, and will prove a miserable
failure.
AMERICAN PLAYS•
It is said that litre. Drew has been pre
vailed upon to promise the production of a
third drama by a Philadelphian who has a
peered once or twice before upon the bills in
the character of a playwright. In making
the necessary apology for this last prospect
ive grievance, it is asserted that "the Amer
ican stage needs original American plays,"
`end that "the public are tired of the old
hackneyed pieces." This is certainly true in
a partial sense. Every intelligent playgoer
is tired of the flourish of legs, and the agony
of seneationalism. Many of the ancient
dramas, such as Kotzebne's absurdly lugu
brious_ "Stranger," could also be laid upon
the shelf without causing a sigh of
regret. And indeed we could bear to have
fewer representations of the finer old come
dies, provided some skilful dramatist should
arise who could seize upon the salient peinta
of American social life and' character, and
weave them into worthy and reputable
dramas. The times are ripe. for such ven
tures in the art. Material of the most sug
gestive- diameter lies ready in unlimit e d
quantities waiting for the coming man. And
he ia emphatically a coming man, if we are
lo he blessed by him at all. No worthy hand,
.sts r iniate-yeqs r -wait
can play, and 'we -know of . no ,
contributor to the literature of 'the
stage who is at all competent to
do so. Every recent attempt has resulted in
wretched and sometimes amusing failure.
AM-New—York-eity r literary-hneks -have-cr

other marked 'qualities than their startling
unreality and their dependence upon extra
ordinary mechanical effects. These owed
their success to the brains of the carpenters,
and to a vitiated public taste. The contribu
tions of Philadelphia have had even less
meriLL These were either ingenious mosaic
work in whieb,with impudent plagiarism, the
conceptions of genuine dramatists were in
corporated, or else they contained incoherent
plots, supported by characters who limped
onward through disjointed acts to nonsensical
climaxes.
The little English dramas, "Caste" and
"Ours," were the only; really passable new
comedies produced in this city last winter.
But even these are mere unsubstantial trifles
compared with those rare old comedies which
were the offspring of such men as Sheridan
and Colman and Farquhar, and which are a part
of our literature. What then shall we' say of
that amazing presumption which asks us to
accept such dramas as •'Light at Last" and
"Tangled Threads" as substitutes for "The
Inconstant," "The Heir at Law," "The
School for Scandal," "The Rivals" and "She
Stoops to Conquer?" This is asking patriot
ism to sacrifice its common sense,and we can
only wonder at the sublime self-complacency
of the mind that can plebe itself by the side
of Sheridan's intellect, and tip us a figurative
wink through the newspapers, as if confident
that we must all perceive how the gifted Irish
author is overshadowed and dwarfed by the.
comparison.
Unfortunately we do not perceive it. We
are afraid that an unappreciative public, like
wise, will sacrifice its patriotic pride to its
reverence for intellect, and continue to- de
mand the good old plays, and the English
playwrights even back to Shakespeare's time,
while they'hie waiting for the great Ameri
can dramatist to appear. Even pictures of
life in the last century are preferable, upon
the stage, to plays which contain human
beings who behave as human beings never
have done in the memory of man, and repre
sentations of human life as it never has been
since the morning stars sang together, and
never will be until chaos comes again.
A FLU' CEILAILS OF 'WISDOM
Among the documents which the Democ
racy are distributing in this city is a circular
addressed to "the business men of Philadel
phia." The writer pursues the old Demo
cratic plan of appealing to the meanest and
most sordid motives of those to whom he
speaks, but iii this instance he carries the
principle so far that he will be likely
rather to disgust than convince intelligent
merchants. His object is to prove the entire
diversity of Pennsylvania interests from those
of the New England and Western States, atid
the blessed results which' ill flow from an
offensive and defensive commercial alliande
of this State with the South,under the benign
rule of the Democratic party. To accom
plish his ptupose he descends to falsehood
and misrepresentation of the most palpable
and ridiculous description.
Hip . irstventureis__up_m_theAueation_of a
promotive tariff. After drawing a very pretty
picture of the pleasures enjoyed by the New
England operatives "who sit behind their
spindles at cheerful tasks," and comparing
them with the "poor begrimed collier dig
ing in the darkness of the earth," he finds
cause for complaint that the former receive
much better wages than the latter, all because
Congress has legislated for New England and
not for Pennsylvania. This kind of stuff will
do very well for the rank and file of the
party, but as part of an address to business
men it is ridiculous. The "begrimed col_
liers" in our mining districts, earn much bet
ter wages than the New England factory
hands, and therare a more troublesome, and
dangerous and Democratic class besides. The
tariff operates in favor of the interests of
Pennsylvania just as much twit does in behalf
of those of the Eastern States. None know
this better than the Democracy, who, despite
the silly pretence of this circular that Con
gress has distriminated in savor of 7Crew
England products, have uniformly advocated
free trade and the abolition of tariffs for every
section. A querulous complaint from an
anonymous Democrat now will not impose
upon intelligent men the conviction that the
Democracy have ever been willing to give
wholes( ,me protection to manufacturers
any where.
But this pamphleteer makes another disco
very. He finds that the Northwest is "preg
nant with New England ideas," and with the
East, is hostile to our interests. As the uni
versal policy of the West is in favor of free
trade, it is difficult to perceive precisely how
it can be in league with New England, which
has just been declared selfishly protective.
- if th'ese,two-seciitnis-nholding-diversropiffiona
upon the question of tariff, are in fellowship,
there is no earthly reason that we can per
ceive, why Pennsylvania, with her protective
opinions, should be in antagonism with the
West. Nor does it appear reasonable that
between the two we are robbed of every
chance of success unless we turn to the Sou
The sagacious writer carries us to this con
clusion through a remarkable process of rea
soning, and then recommends that we shall
enter into co-operation with the Southern
States, with whom we have a common
interest. That ,is to say: protective Pennsyl
vania has no sympathy with protective New
England, but with a free trade South; while
the Eastern advocates of a tariff find their
affinity in the free trade West. TAU Is Wis
dom in solid—very solid—chunks. Only the
Dc mocratic mind could have compassed this
marvellous array of facts and Inferences.
If this alliance is formed with "the South
properly reconstructed upon the basis of a
superior race," then, says the writer "Phila
delphia can cancel her rough record in the
war; Southern trade will come back to us;
Southern debts will be liquidated, and . we
shall have peace." Let us see about that.' /a
the first place "the rough record-skt_Wliidel,
phia" which is the consequence of his"_city
"having gone further than any other tomake
sectional animosity acrid," is a record of
which-we are proud. The business men of

it is, and this miserable seribbler insults their
intelligence and their patriotism when be

the prospect of trade, now, for the first time
since 1860, revived under Congressional re.
construction, will be utterly destroyed. In
stead of peaceful commercial relations, we
will have other long years of stagnation,
discredit, and bankruptcy; Not only will our
Southern debts not be collected, but if Hr.
Wade Hampton's word is worth anything, we
shall be compelled to assume the payment of
the rebel war debt. This will be a "liquida
lion of Southern debts" which will be un
likely to firemuch favor in this quarter.
General William Rudolph Smith died at Quincy,
Illinois, on the 22d fist., in his 82d year. General
Smith was born at Trappe, Montgomery/county,
in this State, August 21,1787, and was the eldest
son of the late William Moore Smith, a grandson
of the Rev. William Smith, D.D., the first Pro
vost of the University of Pennsylvania. General
Smith read law with the late James Milnor
(who afterwards became Rector of Saint George's
Church, New York), an eminent lawyer of this
city. He was admitted to practice in 1809. He
s served in the Senate of Pennsylvania from 1821
to 1826. In 1836 General Smith emigrated with
his family to Wisconsin, and was elected
Attorney-General of that State, serving in the
Convention which formed Its Constitution.
General Smith was instrumental in paasing the
homestead bill in Wisconsin, and founded and
was first President of the Historical Society of
the State. From his family Gen. Smith inherited
a taste for letters, which developed itself in two
historical works connected with the history of
Whiconsin, and in various ways be contributed to
different departments of literature.
The deceased was a prominent member of the
Historical Society of Pennsylvania. He was a
brother"of the late Richard Penn Smith. Gen.
Smith was Grand Master of the Masorde Order
in Wisconsin at the,,period of his death.
PENNSYLVANIA MILITARY ACADEMY.—POIIII
- has few educational establishments
peore deserving of the support of the public than
the Pennsylvania Military Academy at Chester.
It is a most admirably organized school and
home for hive, in all respects. Its academic
staff comprises a complete corps of accomplished
instructors: its fine buildings and healthy loca
tion are equal to anything of the kind in the
State ; its system of military discipline is admira
bly blended with the best moral influences, and
the whole plan of education, physical, mental
and moral, commends it, with peculiar claims, to
the notice of parents and guardians.
THE DELAWARE TRIBUNE.—This State journal
is the largest, best and most popular newspaper
of our little neighbor—Delaware. It is the organ
of the Farmers and Peach Growers, and has hosts
of readers in every portion of the Delaware Pen
insula. It is an unequalled medium for reaching
the country districts,and judicious advertisers of
this city and Now York are extending to it a
very liberal patronage. It is the favorite of
Wilmington advertisers.

The fact is, this document, in which the
Democracy place such faith that they are
sending it to every house, is a miserable at
tempt to operate upon sectional selfishness,
and to preach doctrines of hatred of New
England and the West, which they dare not
utter before their adherents in those sections.
The people of this city, careful as they are of
their individual interests, recognize that these
are the common interests of the whole coun
try. They love their country as a whole, and
are too'wise not to - perceive that this hydra
headed Democratic party preaches a different
doctrine in every State, speaking here in favor
of free trade, and there in favor of tariff, en
deavoring everywhere to ~ operate upon the
prejudices of the masses rather than upon
their patriotism, and stirring up " discontent
and hatred where there should be fellowship
and cooperation. It is our boast that we de
mand general legislation' for the general good;
that we deny the truth of all States Rights
theories, and accept this. government as an
unit—as'a perfect body whose members suf
fer with each other.

Liertry 'Robberies at Longr Brasselas
A correepondent of the New York Times gives
the following account of a series of heavy, rob
beries which have been perpetrated in the Stetson
House, at Long Branch
'-The first sufferer was Mr. Silas Herring,
whose flue chronometer watch parted cable and
went to sea in the most myfiterious way. It is
true it was very rouh at the bar at, tile time.
This, however, was the only evidence of unholy
presence In the immediate neighborhood of the
Stelsonor until - yesterday - morning, very early,
- shot several of the guests about to retire for a
fashionable daylight doze, discovered, to their
amazement, that tneir rooms lied been entered in
their absence, and that the
most
had be-,
hayed, to put It mildly, in a most offensive man
ner. Bureaus bad been buretopen, drawers rum
maged, • the most altered = recessesex
plored by their sacreligions hands. Diamonds,
jewelry in variety , abd valuable wearing apparel
had been done away with during the witching
hours, when their unsuspicious owners were en
joying themselves with dance and song. 'Still so*
gently o'er them stealing, the' scoundrels ' had
pees& from room to room left unprotected and
made such a careful selection as does cred it to
their taste. It is said that *lO,OOO will not cover
the Imre. 'This statement,,however. had better be
taken with a minute particle of chloride of sodi

given. As soon as the confusion _had subsided,
which immediately followed the discovery of the
robbery, Mr. Stetson telezraphed CO Metropolitan

f From the New York World otro•say,..l
Foul Play ran unintermptedly at the New York
Theatre last evening,but at the Broadway another
episode occurred not . down •in the-bills: There
• was a large audience ureeent, and the dratria - had
proceeded with more than wail spirit Up to . the
Island scene; when just ati Hi: Harkins entered
upon the stage—a tnati;ilmed from the audience,
over the footlights .," and advancing toward him
with a paper in his hand; he said: "I servo you
with en injunction from judge Barnard)! Mr.
Harkins, hardly yet °WV of the character of
"Robert Pen fold," and'taken entirely by surprise,
called for an officer to remove the man from
the stage. There was, however, no officer,.
_mad the man proceeded to thrust the paper
upon him endeavoring to insert it in the opening
of his vest, and dropping it instead upon the
Ptage, from which finally Mr. Harkins picked it.
The man then insisted on serving similar papers'
on Miss Hawthorn and one other person who
was on the stage it the same time, neither of
whom at the moment seemed to realize what it
was all about. The audience in the meanwhile
was becoming exceedingly turbulent; cries of
"put him oat," "go on with the piece,"
and similar exclamations, audible above
the general storm of hisses, were re
sounding from all parts of the house,
Ii the midst of which the intruder left the stage
and the act was completed. At its conclusion
the audience called vociferously for Harkins, and
Mr. Moore, the business manager of the house,
came before the curtain and stated that he was
the agent of Mr. Barney Willi: s (whom he pre
sumed everybody knew), that certain persons
had seen fit to serve a civil process upon a mem
ber of the company in the middle of the play,
coming in from the front because they had not
the pluck to go - in - at - the back; whore blood had
already been shed, and that Mr. Williams would
endeavor to protect an honest man and his au
diences.
Mr. Harkins watt still called for, and followed
in a few words of protest and thanks, after
which the_pLay proceeded.

Subsequently, however, the bears, who bad been

boirowing demand for coin, and loans were made
without interest and at from two to three and a
half per cent. for carrying. The gross clearings
amounted to 590,759,000;the gold balances to (51-
871,549, and the currency balances to $2.87 . 8,126-
Money was in very abundant supply ,at four per
cent., the banks having a large 'unemployed sur
plus. and in some instances loans were made on
govirnment securities at three and three and a
ball. The remittances of currency westward
this week are merely nominal, and it is now evi

one _to, ..one. _and a half per mt.. has
been - established in some of the Issue's above the
lowest prices touched on Tuesday morning. The
most marked improvement was in the five-twen
ties of 1864 and 1867, and there was a considera
ble demand for the latter from the foreign bank
ers for export, the indications being that the
bonds of 1862 will be largely exchanged for these
by European holders for the sake of the differ
ence in price. The fact that the market closed
strong after the rapid advance before noted af
fords evidence of, great strength, land the large
"short" interest still outstanding Ma guarantee of
a further considerable rise in view of the circum
stance that bonds have 'not yet recovered
mere than half their recent decline.
totem the N. Y. World of today.
Ave. 26.—The Government bond market was
active and strong, with a considerable increase in
the demand from outside buyers to employ their
surplus funds. The banks are ,offering to lend
round sums at 3 per cent. on Government collet
crab. The foreign houses are buying the 1864 s
and the new bonds. The 1867 s advanced 16 per
cent. since yesterday, selling at 108%.
The money market is easy at 3@ii per cent. on
The foreign exchange market is quiet, as usual
after the sailing of the packet, and rates are with
out change.
The gold market ranged from 144 to 145, open
at 1443, 2 , and closing at 145 at 3P. M. The rates
paid for carrying, were 3, 33,5 - and 2 per cent. to
flat. After the board adjourned, the quotations
were 14434 to 144%, closing at 144% at 5 P. M.
To-day advices were received from Europe of
further shipments of gold to be made to Europe.
The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank
to-day were as follows:
Gold 51,871,546 89
Currency balances 2,878,126 21
Gross clearances . 90,759 00
The stock market was strong on the New York
roads in the early part of the day, but at the close
they weakened, with a break in New York "Cen
tral. The Western
the
were quiet in
the early part! of the day, but afterwards
became more active and firmer. The
Milwaukee and St. Paul Company's clique
tried to make a corner in that stock to-day,
and ran the price up t0'803.4 from 69 yesterday,
but the affair proved to be a fiasco, because the
shorts delivered their stock promptly, and no
tified the clique that to-morrow they would de
liver ail their seller sixties. This action demor
alized the clique, as it was evident there was a
leak somewhere, and the price fell to 7.134.
