S wild alarm. Soon after mv arrival, Mr.
Holliater, the American Mmlater, _carne
into tort in tbe United B(«tee ship-of-war Yantic,
andimmeSaTely visited Mr. De Lone.theAmeri
cah Consul. Mr. De Long ts very ill, and occupied
the bouse and store ot Mr. George 0. Brown,
whn Is now tbf aclioff Codpul hero. I found in
Mr "Brown's honsc at least 600 Haytian refagees,
who were lodged nud fed at bis expense. Tholr
personal effects were piled up in all the rootns of
the house, from the basement to tbe attic. Mrs.
Brown informed tue that Mr. Hollister, at the re
oucst of Gen. Demiuguo. who calls himself tho
President of tho Souih, had an interview
with his Excellency and explained to
him tbo real situation of affairs at Aux
Cayes, as be understood it. Mr. Hollister and Mr.
Do Long begged Jnmingue to spare the town and
to take care of tho interests of the foreigners
there. The Prcs'detn of the new Republic was
very polite,bnt expressed a determination to hold
out ns loDg as he could, and to die rather than
yield. The* murders committed by this man
during the last few weeks surpass belief. On the
3d of February he sent a largo foree'ta the prison
where ho had ib irons many of Salnave’s principal
adherents, and murdered them all in cold b100d..,
A few were killed in their cells, and the others
were turned loose into the jail yard and shot bv
boys about 16 years old in a manner too horrible
to relate.' Bojrs use muskets iu such a clumsy way
that it sometimes takes them a good while to
kill a person with small arms. In several
instances. I am told, twenty shots were fired at
one prisoner. The women were more difficult to
kill than'the men; they struggled and fought for
life in .the moßt appalling manner, and the eye
witnesses say that their shrieks and imprecations
were heartrending and too frightful to bo repre
sented. A. nephew of the Hayiian Minister to
France,GeneralMen tor. who wasunder medical
treatment at the time, was placed in a conspicu
ous position, and obliged to see his fellow-prison
ers murdered before he found relief. Then he
was placed in a chair within a few feet of
the muzzle of a cannon and blown
to pieces with grape-shot. One hundred
and “ ten persons were massacred in
this ” shocking manner. Mr. Hollister,
lam told, saw Mr. Rameau, the Secretary of
State of this new Republic, which represents Sal
nave as a tyrant and a murderer, and which has
for Its motto “Liberty, Equality.and Fraternity. ’
The Captain of the American gunboat, and the
Captain of the British ship-of-war Jason, were
both present at the Interview, bnt no terms could
be made with the Rebels. It became necessary
to take care of tho women and children in the
city, and with the consent of Balnave, Capt. Ab
bot, of the Yantic, aided by the British sloop
Jason, towed ontslde the harbor, in three
merchant vessels, about 2,000 persons.
This was done with the constant
of Snlnnve, who remarked :ttaat he “did not wage
war with women or children.” Tec bombard
ment, on account of tbe non-arrival of the Sal
nave, did not come off according to programme,
and as tho persons on board the merchant
ships had nothing to eat, President Salnave
offered to take them to the dearest port in his
possession, and feed and protect them, and
return them to the city as soon as he was master
of it. His proposal was spurned bv the parties
interested, who all went back to Aux Cayes to
share the fatoof tho city. What that will be I can
not say, bnt our situation is very alarming. The
Picquets desire to burn the town for the sake ol
pillage. Domingue threatens, in case of his de
feat, to lay it in ashes, and the President may be
obliged to destroy it with 6hot and shell bofore it
will surrender. There has recently been an at
tack made by the Cacos upon Gouaives. They
were repulsed with the loss of about 100 men
killed and wounded. It Is said that the Cacos at
St. Marc hove received from tbe United States a
ship-of-war known in our late struggle as tho
Mount Veruon. Ris reported tnat she brought

Don Piatt has been visitlne Mount Vornon.and
he writes of it, ana of Washington, thus to the
Cincinnati Commercial-.
Passing through the old hall of the Houso, on
one’s way to the new, one is struck by a statue
to the right that purports to be of George Wash
ington; and so it is—a Jac simile from the origi
nal. It was done by the French artist Houdon,
who covered the Father’s august head with pias
ter, leaving two straws in his patriotic nose to
breathe through. It Ib, therefore, as perfect in
figure and feature as a work of art can be; and It
is amusing to note the effect on ine crowd this
statue produces. It dwindles the Father. Ho
appears as an ordinary man, and not a very stri
king one at that. The head is small, and the ex
pression of the mouth is damaged by false teeth,
that, in that day, were gotten up in a clumsy
style, evtn for the first President; while tho legs
in tho"tight breeches Btarlie cue, they are so
slender. I heard an old lady ask one day: ‘ls
them legs Washington’s ? I’d like to know."
Dear old Weems created the popular Washing
ton. I have before me a copy of his great work,
aDd regret that my space will not permit me to
make some extracts iu illustration of his won
derful style. On tho title page I read an indorse
ment from the pen of Harry Lee, of Revolution
ary fame, to the effect that—“tho author has
treated his great subjoct with admirable success,
in a new way. Ho turns all the actions of Wash
ington to tho encouragement of virtue, by a care
ful application of numerous exemplifications
drawn from the conduct of the founder of our
republic, liom his earliest life.”
And the precious, old, pious humbug, not to
be at a loss lor material, makes up the incidents
as be goer along. He created that little hatchet
and cherry-tree slory out ot entire cloth, as ho
did all the pious incidents of his feeble, yet pop
ular book. Old George was a quick-tempered,
profane man, vain of his person, particular
about his clotliLf, fond ol fox-huuting and the
heavy eating and drinking that accompanied
that wild pursuit. In a word, like ail
leading men of that day, he Imitated
the illustrious statesmen and soldiers then
famous In Europe, and we know what they
were. To make him great we noed not Ho about
him. That he fought through a long,weary, dis
heartening war without breaking down; that ho
rose above the petty intrigues of false trieuda
and bitter foes; that ho bravely laid down tne
sword and retired to private life, having, without
fall, always done the right thing at the right mo
ment, make up enough for us to admire and love
without rceorting to feeble lies and pious hum
buggery.
Let me say, in conclusion, that the good ladles
of the Mount Vernon Association deserve credit
, for the care with which they preserve the prop
erly intrusted to them.

Homer, Colladay & Oo ’« Now Store—
Description of too Wiltce-ltew JDo
pariments—Varieties of. woods, dec.,
• c,
On Monday morning next Messrs. Homer, Col
laday & Co., tho well-known dry goods mer
chants, will throw open to the pnblio tholr mag
nificent new marble store, Nos. 1412 and 1414
Cheetnnt street. This edllico is one or
the noblest upon the street. famous
already for Its many handsome buildings; and
‘as onr readers ore of courso interested
in It, not only from their familiarity with
' the firm, bnt because it adds one more attraction
to the city, and reflects credit upon it, we have
determined to devote some space to a description
of it. We may commence by stating that Messrs.
Homer, Colladay & Go. built this immense store,
'first, because their rapidly-increasing business
'demanded much larger apace thah they could ob-
I tain in their old location. Their business began
l as lorg ago as 1842, and it has developed
with legitimate rapidity to its prosedt enormous
proportions. Tho storo at Eighth and Chestnut
streets was built by the firm, and was thought to
be ample enough for any lnereaso that could
occur. Events have proved that it is not so. In
tho next place, Messrs. Homer, Colladay & Co.
desired to be in the advance guard of that western
movement of trade which Is progressing so
rapidly, and carrying our largest firms toward
the Bchuylkill. It will not be long before their
new palace will bo in tho very centre of Iho retail
trade on Chestnut street. It is a matter for con
gratulation that the first large store erected west
'of Broad street is so magnificent—handsomer by
far than any similar establishment in Europe.
Tho example iB a good one, and will be imitated
by other ambitious merchants.
DIMKNSIONS OK TUB BUILDING.
The lot on which tho store stands,and by which
it is entirely covered, measures 64 feet front on
Chestnut street,and runs back 232 feet to Sausom
street. Tbe building consists of threo principal
divisions,a three-story frontbuilding 60 feet deep;
a four-story building, 40 feel deep; and between
them a one-story part, 132 feet deep—the roof
beirg pierced by seven large sky-lights, each
4 feet high and 22 feet wide, giving a pure north
light.
THE FBOHT
The front of tho building la of the finest white
Vermont marble.in tho Italian renaissance style;
the first story with quoins,pilasters and columns,
with semi-circular arches in five openings, two
doors and three windows, the centre one rising
above the others and presenting a glass surface
of 10 feet 6 Inches in width by 26 feet in height.
The uppeivßtorieß are ornament-d by pilaster
coupled windows. There is a large circular open
ing in the middle of the second-story and a solid
marble principal cornice, with heavy ornamen
tal blooklng course. The Bansom street front is
constructed of brick, with granite.
THE FIRST FLOOR.
The first and main floor of the building is a
superb apartment, unsurpassed in grandeur and
imposing efftct by any salesroom in tho world.
in order to keep the floor entirely unobstructed
by columns, tho rear walls of the two high bnild
ingß are supported by two immense cast-iron
girders, each with two four-inch wrought iron
straining rods, aud each girder weighing ten
tonF; whilo the floor jolstß are suspended by
strong iron rods from tno roof trusses. The first
floor, being the retail salesroom, is subdivided
into two parts by a large arched division; the
front part devoted to the sale of silks, dress
goods, &c.— the division containing on one side
the “dark room," for tho display of evening
goodt;ou the other side a retiring room for lady
customers. Back of tho division is the large
room for the sale of mantillas and dresses, aud
lollowing this,at the extreme end and at the sides
of the large passage lead ng to Sinsotn stroet, are
the enttlng and fluing rooms lor ladies, stairs to
upper rooms, and a largo fire-proof.
OII'KIt STOKIF.S AM) UASF.MKST.
Tho eecoud and third stories of tho Chestnut
street building are prepared lor thu wholesale de
partment, while the Sansom street building con
tains In each of the three upper stories a room 40
by 42 feet, finely lighted and ventilated, devoted
to the manufacture of cloaks, dresses and ladies’
wear, giving room for 250 operators and being
provided with all required conveniences.
The basement is used tor receiving goods by a
hydraulic elevator, and distributing them into
the different departments. It also contains dress
ing rooms lor persons employed in tho estab
lishment; these rooms, like the others, being sup
plied with all appliances for health aud comfort.
Here also are the four large furnaces by which
the rooms throughout arc heated.
NEW OKI’AKTMENTS.
As we have hinted above, Messrs. Homer, Coi
laday ,fc O. will introduce several novel features
into their establishment. There will be. in the
erst place, a dress-making establishment, in the
bands of the most accomplished artists that can
bo pioeured. It will be complete in all its details,
so tbnt the smallost as well as the most extensive
work can bo done in it. Ladies can purchase good 3
at the counters, be measured, fitted and supplied
with the finished article with promptness. There
will be also a cloak and mantilla department, as
of old, excepting that it will be conducted upon a
much larger scale than formerly.
Another deportment will be devoted to
lingerie , embracing all kinds of underwear for
ladies and children. Any article of underclothing
will be made to order in the shortest possible
time by the best artists, and a large stook of
ready-made garments of ail descriptions will be
kept on hand. Especial attention will be given
to furnishing bridal outfits. These will be kept
on hand complete,or be made to order.
It is hardly necessary to commend these de
partments to the public. Ladies will appreciate
at once the immense advantages to be derived
tiom their existence, and the great trouble and
annoyance thut will be saved by having them all
in one large establishment.
rmc es.
It must not be supposed, however, because of
the magnificence of this store, and the oxtent of
its operation s, that prices will be auy higher than
at other places. On the contrary, Messrs. Homer,
Oclladay & Co. claim to offer unusual induce
ments to purchasers ot all cl asses—to those of
moderate meanß os well as to the wealthy. A
member of their firm is nearly constantly iu
Europe, buying direct from the manufacturers in
ail cases ; so that there arc no middle profits to
be paid. They buy for cash, invariably, aud
their customers have thus an opportunity not
always offered of obtaining goods at first hands,
and with a single reasonable profit upon them.
VARIETIES OK GOODS.
The stock embraces nearly everything that can
be desired for clothing the human body. It con
tains silks ol every fabric, bue aud price; Paris
dress goods in novel and fashionable styles; laces
of every description; velvets, cloths aud cassi
incree, hosiery; kid gloves; white goods, and
other things innumerable. Persons in want of
the smallest article will find it bore, and can pro
cure it at tho most advantageous prices,—prices
which cannot be underbid by any other firm in
America.
THE WHOLBNALK DEPARTMENT,
Tbe wholesale department is not ihe least im
portant in the establishment. Tbe firm offer to
retail dealers a magnificent clock of cloths, silks
and drees goodß at the most advantageous prices.
ON MONDAY
This establishment will be opened, and we think
the public will agree with ub in estimating its
beauty, tbe enterprise of its occupantß and own
ers, and in regarding it as an ornament and a
credit to the city. While wo uro praising It, it
will be but fair to say that the building was de
signed by Messrs. Collins & Autenreltb, archi
tects; that it was built by Mr. J. L. Stewart; that
Messrs. Cornclins A. Baker attended to the gas
fitting, and farnlßbed the chandeliers and brack
ets; that Messrs. Merrick & Sou supplied the
heavy girders and tho hydraulic elevator, and
that Robert H. Shoemaker furnished the plate
glass.
Stealing at a Railway Depot For some
time past the officers of tho Sprnce and Pine
Streets Passenger Railway Company have been
annoyed by thefts of iron, &c., committed at tho
depot. Yesterday Joseph McDevltt and Alexan
der Stephens were caught on tho premises. They
hod is their possession a lot of wheel boxes, from
which they were endeavoring to knock the brass.
They were arrested,and will have a hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon.
Passing Counteeeeits. — Isaac Henck was
arrested last night by Policeman Ronard, upon
the charge of passing counterfoil 25 cent notes at
a tavern on Market street, above Ninth. At the
time of his arrest eight of the bogus notes wore
found in his possession. Henck had a hearing
before U. S Commissioner Smith this morning,
and was committed in default of $2,009 ball for
trial.

"To the Chairman of the Temperance Meeting at

I want It to be known that I am In full sympathy
with Ibis effort to rouse public opinion against
the evils of drunkenness. Lot tho Church of God
show her colors in this movement. While Ido
not believe that temperanoc principles of them
selves can take a man to Heaven, I do not believe
that a man can get into Hoaven without temper
ance principles. It is high time that we marshal
our forces to meet the enemy, nnd come down on

and I'alllDg on their left. Success to all temper

Addresses were then made by Lowell Dodge,
Thomas M- Coleman, Hiram Ward, L. Pollock,
and others. A number of signatures were ob

Broad Street.
Afessts. Kditorse — Tho Bulletin is entitled to
our thankß for its persistent efforts to preserve I
Broad street from the grasp of disinterested bene
factors, who, had they dared, would ere thiß have
grlddled this noble thoroughfare with rails. But
whilst we are contending against one evil, let us
take care we do not fall into another; and it is
much to be feared that this elegant street, instead
of being a quiet, safe drive for our citizens, is
likely, from present indications, to degenerate
nto a regular, or rather irregular, race course.
Knots of idlers now assemble on the corners
to see Ihe races, and in front of the “Punch Bowl,"
ot the intersection of Broad street and Turner's
lane, a booth, or stand, with benches, Is erected
for the accommodation of the patrons ot the turf.
ThaLks to Mayer Fox, his police have abated the
nuisance so far as it extended over the wooden
pavement, but from the end of the pavement to
the Norristown Railroad crossing, and all the
way up the Township Line road to Germantown, ■
it is not saying too much that it is almost at tho
risk of life or limb to be caught on these roads
towards evening.
yesterday afternoon 1 was Induced to accom
pany a friend in a drive, and found ourselves,
about sundown, on the way home, about lour
miles from the city, on the new turnpike road.
It kepi ub both busy in looking out behind for
what was coming, for all seemed to be testing the
speed of their horses, and all were driving at a
killing pace. We got along without accident to
ihe Connecting Railroad crossing, when the rapid
clatter of hoofß, accompanied with the most un
earthly yells, admonished us to lose no time
In drawing np on the side of the road, when,
with the speed of the wind, some half dozen
wagons went by with a flash,thoir horses covered
with foam, and almost maddened with fright;
their drivers leaning tar back, with all their
strength sawiny tbe mouths of the poor brutes,
and jerking them out of a gallop into a trot, and '
all the while yelling like a parcel of demons, al
most made me wish they would break their necks.
It Beemed hard to bellove 1 was not among sav
ages instead of in the Christian city of Brotherly
Love. When I reached my own door I invelun
lurily breathed a prayer for preservation from
tbe dangers of the road.
This slcoteh Is not colored, and ’tis earnestly to
be hoped that if the “Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals” cannot abate this nui
sance, onr Mayor Fox will. Mayor Henry effec
