BlTNfr' s charged with having presented and voted for at the last session of the Beglslaturea bill to extend Diamond street, thereby cutting through the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. Now, Mr. Bunn is a- member of Chosen Friends Bodge, No. 100, and has been a mem-, ber of the lodge for six years. lam a member of the same lodge, and, as a brother Odd Fel low, I deemed it my duty to look this matter up before condemning Hr. Bunn; 1 procured a copy of the Journal of the last House of Be presentatives, and lo! to • my surprise, I find that Mr. Bunn’s is the only name that appears: in the record . as opposing the hill- The following is the re'cofd.of the bill: It .was presented by James Miller, January 2ii, reported from committee by Mr. Hill, of Bycoming, February 9. On the 23d of February, when thebill'was upon.its-final passage, it was denounced by Mr. Bunn as an infamous measure, and one that if it would' become a law would destroy the cemetery and desecrate the graves of thousands of the dead. Mr. Bunn asked the House to defeat thg bill, and presented remonstrances, from the ceme tery company against it. The bill was vbted down, no other,member or the House talking against it but Mr.llunn. On tho following Monday evening, February 28, before Mr. -Bunn-reached the Capitol, as soon as . the House, convened, Mr. Stokes, seconded by Mr. Cloud, moved that the House reconsider their-former- action and pass the* bill, "which was done without a call .of the yeas and nays. Now where were all the other members from . Philadelphia who claim that they were opposed: to this, bill ? The record shows in black and white that Mr. Bunn defeated the bill, and while he was un avoidably absent,the bill was reconsidered and passed, and ho one as much as called the yeas and nays. Now it pertainly is very Wong, since Mr.Bunnwasthe o'hly champion of the Odd Fellows, for his opponent to put him in a position contrary to , the position the record shows' that he tooic; it will do Mr. Daws no good; the - calumny will recoil upon the calumniator. I have the record at my house, arid I invite all my" brother Odd :Fellows to call and examine for themselves, and l defy Mr. Daws or anybody else to prove that what,is set forth in this communication is BENTON O.

There is no fear, or, if there be, it is. bravely hidden— eypn the women, with their' pallid faces, haying brave Words on .their quivering lips,; and bright smiles' on cheeks • bedewed with tears. The smiles are for their defenders, and their tears are for their cbil 'while fear is absent or is hidden behind a mask, every other, emotion that fills the human heart with agony rages almost: be yond control.

Not a theatre is open; the streets are ahnostdeserted: all_ the shops are closed save the cafes, and those are empty; the-few passers-by who are seen walk quickly and without speaking. Nearly every able-bodied man in the city is in the defences or at the barracks, and their wives and children sit at home with ( hearts heavy with grief, tip to this moment the behavior of those from whom the worst . was dreaded—the .-Beds and the mob —has been wonderfully good. .Never has the city been more orderly and more free from, crime::' But how long is this to last? Kochefort has, ■ thus far, restrained the Beds, and the mob has restrained itself.

THK KUISIS IS STRASBOURG. Effects of tbe Prussian Bombardment. A letter from the vicinity of Strasbourg says: “ The Public Library, the Temple Neuf, the . Museum of Paintings, the most >nlendicL mouses in the finest quarter,' are notv only heaps of blackened ruins. The first-named institution /was celebrated throughout Europe. I It contained books ahd manuscripts unique in the ■world, the: result of centuries or labor,’ patience; and.perseverance. Nothing now re mains but a sheet of parchment or paper—not a document. ..The site is now encumbered with ruins, and,all that is to be seen is the car bonized covers of one or two books in a cor ner. Of the Church of the Temple Neuf, the largest Protestant place of worship in Stras bourg, with its splendid organ and renowned mural, paintings, the four walls alone remain. The Art .Museum at Aubette is totally de stroyed,with the building in which it wa3 con tained. The Cathedral has hitherto only escaped by miracle the great disaster with winch,‘it* was menaced every night. This ruorningagaih some fragments of sculpture and stone from the wails were found scattered about the ground, andshowed that a cannon ball had struck: our magnificent monament: one of the glories of the world. The Notre Dame Asylum, one of the oldest and most no ble monuments of the middle ages, has been rnjured by projectiles. The Hotel de Villeis shattered. The Council Hall is devastated. Several ’private - residences are ■ destroyed, those In the Rue dti Temple Neuf, from the. Library to the. Rue du Dome, have become prey to the flames. The shells fell by dozens aDd by hundreds in a single street, andj as soon as the fife was lighted up projeotales were poured like hail upon the spot, no doubt for 1 the purpose of preventing the workers 'from getting the flames under. The whole city is heaped up with wreck, and the roofs,chimneys ami facades of the houses are damaged on all sides.” .. KI'SSIA AN® ill E WAR. Threatening Attitude of the Czar. Some iight is thrown on the attitude of Rus sia and the military preparationssbeismaking bj tlie following extracts from recent Russian and other journals: ■ . . The Gazette fie iloscovi says: “What is now taking place ought to make us consider the po sition in Which War would find us. In view of the ultimate "victory on the side of Prussia, and of the desire of Count Bismarck to extend her frontiers and convert the Baltic sea into a Prussian lake, we may expect him to turn bis attention ; to our Baltic provinces, which would enable Prussia to acquire immense naval power. .In' anticipation of this even -4wality-,-every-RUBSian.desire»-to.Jinaw*-wha- twe are doing to receive the We have "too much the habit oivwalting until )We learn ■by experience, and not foreseeing the future. Thus, after the Crimean war, we com menced to fortifyonly Cronstadt and Kertch, forgetting the Prussian frontier, although it is evident that we cannot count on the friend ship of Prussia in the future. All strategic conditions, and the course of the railroad lines, demonstrate that it is necessary to fortify Riga and as the seat of govern ment of the Baltioprovinces, Kowno to defend the railroads leading to Lobau or to St. Peters burg, and because It is, the best place fora fortiiied camp. A great Lumber of artillery horses bSVS been purchased in St. Petersburg, and a mer chant there has, entered into a contract for 4,000 tuns of gunpowder. M. Nobel’s factory has receivod'an order for 800 mitrailleuses, to . be delivered by tho Ist of October. The Rus sian journals anticipate that Prussia will de mand the German portion of Alsace and Lor raine, and in that caso they claim that Russia should receive an'equivalent concession.

Bi-aeke, Jr., Bonhorst, Gralle, Kuhnand Spier. The cause -of the arrest-was tlie publication and circula tion of a manifesto proceeding from the Com mittee, and the arrests were made bv order of the Governor, General Vogel; von *Falcken stein. The prisoners were conveyed uhder a strong military escort and handcuffed (!) like dangerous criminals to the railway station, in order, as is supposed, to be -transported to Magdeburg'or Wiiiaen. ;Tn like manner the printer of the manifesto in question, Herr von Ehlers (from Brunswick), were arrested in the conrse of the .afternoon, and were each carried off hound to three policemen! The police searched the premises of the committee and confiscated a number of .papers relating to'their affairs, included a large nmu ber of printed copies of the manifesto. In the evening strong military patrols- marched through the town, which was supposed to be threatened, but had no occasion to make fur ther arrests or commit other excesses, as the workingmen remained perfectly peaceable. J.he incriminated manifesto-containeda com prehensive explanation of the views of the union on the present political situation,-ex pressed the sympathies of the paiiy for the newly established French republic, and dc . manded a prompt and reasonable treatv of ■ peace with the present: French Government, with an appeal to King William’s proclama tioii that Germany made war only with the Napoleonic goverment and not with the Frenclipeople, J zl__ ...: l. • • - With regard to any contemplated annexa tion of Alsace and Lorraine, the manifesto recommended that the integrity of, French . territory should be left untouched, as The an nexation wpuld only make a western Poland for Germany, and induce new and bloodv wars. J The conclusion of the’manifesto urged., the. .German people to make the Prussian barrack system more adapted-to German unitv, hv freedom tor the German people; and'glancing' ■at republican demonstrations in Spain and. Italy, it expressed .the hope and conviction . that, in spite Of the absolutism now domineer;. itig over us, the time wiil some day come for Germany also participate in the blessings of a republic. • V ■ -Themanifes to-preservesatranquil-and moderate tone througbont, and: in ordinary: times, indeed even in the present: the eye of any Prussian lawyer, however vigilant, would, hardly perceive anything treasonable in it. General Falckenstein, however, is noJawyor, and understands much-better the discipline of ,Uie military art than that of the noble Lady Themis, who said: “ The commencement ot the, war has nowhere in Germany had to un dergo rougbertreatmeiit than in the govern ment of Hanover.” • . This recent proceedingfhowever,, indicates the sensitiveness of the Prussian Government with regard to the question of annexation. It is not impossible that a wink was given by the highest circles, which easily explains such a step with regard to this displeasing expression of free opinion on this point. Be that as it may. it is at any rate certain that at present there exists in Germany no constitutional right of lawful and free expression of opinion., On the other hand a Heir von Schweitzer, in BerliD, has, as a matter df course, not omitted to combat the French ‘‘ bourgeois republic,” and trail it in the mud on behalf of the Kin" of Prussia. ° Arrest of tbe WorUlußui- n’s Committee. 1 From the Spectator.) Germany seems to be even uow not strong enough to let her people talk harmless polities freely. "The Central Brunswick Committee of the German section of “ The International Workmen’s Association” issued on the sth .instant a manifesto to.the German working class, xaliing upon them to prevent the an nexation of Alsace and Lorraine, and to bring about an honorable peace with ,the Erench; republic. This manifesto lias' been seized? and all the members of the committee, even the priiiter, were arrested ahd chained like common felons, < and sent to* Lutzen, in East Prussia. The general who is’ .saiiUo-have-orderod-this- arrestGis- named-as Vogel Von FrankemteimWe presume by mis take for Vogel Von ,' Ealckenstein),- but he does, indeed, represent the Erankenstein of Germanpolitics. -What can tin; government Of any State in Germany have to tear from the advocacy of political measures so honorable and reasonable as these? Indeed, had they been really revolutionary instead of singularly, wise, what a blunder in the German authori ties to treat revolutionists just now with any greater respect than the English government pays to the orations of Mr. Bradlaugh. . , THE CHASE 'fW THE HERMANN. Slie Steers Sontb to Escape Her Par- The news of the chase of the steamship Hermann by a Erench ■war-vessel is corrob orated by the accounts brought by the ship Chancellor, which arrived early yesterday morning from Liverpool. Capt. Patten, her commander, informed the Quarantine Doctor, who boarded her, that whep nearing port be saw a brig-rigged steamship, like ttie Hermann, veer round, and steer in a southerly direction under full steam, sou that, as long as she was visible, she con tinued to hug the Jersey coast. The Quaran tine authorities say that the; vessel seen must have been the Hermann, as she was the only bug-rigged steamer ,that left -the port within . twenty-lout.. hours. She must , "have adopted this unusual route in order to escape her pursuer.- Her pilot, who took her out says she was follwoed by a French gunboat, said to be the Britomarte. Nothing has been heard since of ■' the further movements or the war-veskel / seen by Capt. Jud kin, near Eire Ala'nd. The, Erench Consul says that he has not been made aware of the chase, but that it is only a very likely thing to • have occurred, as the Germans, he asserts, would do the same had thev the chance. Mr. Koessing, the North German Consul, can give no information nn-the subject as lre'says tbat -he is completely in the dark as to the move ments and -number: of..the Erench vessels of war in our vicinity.
