BRILLIANT MILITARY DISPLAY [Reported for The Prose.] The dedicatory, services at the new armory of the National Guards in Race street, below Sixth, took place yesterday afternoon. The military display was one of the finest we re- Member to have seen in this city, notwith standing the inclement weather somewhat in terfered with the very complete and extensive arrangements which, had been made for the occasion. Three brigades wore ordered oul, ,add their appearance was extremely credita ble. The military were formed at 3 o'clock in the following order: General Win, M. 'Riley; commander; *elm: Root, and ot•Uer staff "oftleprs: ' " RPIII I O4I I /1?

The Washingtoo Grays, who were at the head of the line, made a strong.and exceeding- ly creditable turn out, The National Guards had in line ono hun dred and twenty-eight amen, and, as usual, were the theme of much admiration. The'procession reached the new huilding of the' Guards shOrtly before five o'clock. 'The main hall was brilliantly illuminated, and was thronged-by large numbers-of ladies and gen- Cowen. After all the companies had taken their positions in the hall, at five 'o'clock; the Philadelphia band, number 1, performed a' "national melody," composed for the occasion by Thomas Coates. Rev. Philip F. Mayer then offered an earn est and impressive prayer to the throne of grace, in which he invoked the Divine blessing on the new edifice which has recently been erected through the patriotic zeal of our vol unteer soldiers.' At' the conclusion of the prayer, the band performed the "Priests' Chorus," from the Opera of the 4c Magic Flute." John , W. Forney , was then, introduced tb the vast audience, and delivered the fel -1140W , onwtertoir. ; There is a touching interest in this dazzling Iteenel-thies, diftplay of arms, these long Hobs ofdircipped,troops,th'ese mirtiat filming; this fiodiAtindttfilf.wrorldly co any; and the min ,-: - 4;.Y ..',P' '4.

The noblest effigies of the human race are the statues of •thtige military leaders which adorn the capitals of the old world and the new. If the marble memorials of the Tamerlanes, the Cyruses and the Harmlbals of ancient ages, are not to be found, we know that, they have existed, and may even now be bulid in the deep bosom of the earth, with the mighty cities which they decorated. But the traveller often lingers round the base of those mute but eloquent statues which still remain. What lessons they teach; what recollections they revive! England, with her monuments to Richard of the Lion heart; to the soldier statesman, William of Orange, to Nelson and Wellington; France, with her brilliant•capi tale adorned with the effigies of her great captains; Charlemagne, the Child of Destiny, Napoleon, and his galaxy of Marshals, Desaix, Noy, Sachet, Museums, and the rest; the Arch of Triumphs, crowned with representa tions of the battles of •the First Revolution and the Empire ; Versailles, with its long gal leries, decorated with statues of Bayard, Fran- cis the First, and others; Brussels, with the figure of Godfrey de Bouillon ; Breslau, with Blucher; Berlin, with Frederick the .Groat; Dresden, with Augustus the Second ; St. Pe tersburg, with Peter the Great; Italy, her cities beautified with statues of those who fought under her flag, In all her long and chequered career—some perpetuating,the 'weaknesses, and others the wonders of heir lives—what lessons do those memorials teach to us—what recollections theyrevive ! . __, We may read the record of nations, while gazing into their stony eyes.

Considered eornmercially, politi cally, and morally, the results of this war have been most beneficial; yet war should be the last resort of , a bravo and civilized nation.' 1. applaud, and admire, and would encourage the martial spirit of our countrymen ; but I appeal to Government and to statesmen ttgainst that other sentiment, which sometimes piltnges into blood and carnage brothers and friends, when cool reflection might have otherwise decided. But if the volunteers of the Ur ited States rendered efficient services to the country in the Mexican scar, under conimand of General Scott, their achipveufetrt at the battle Of Buena Vista was a still more striking proof of their inestimable value in the dark hotir of national peril. In that direful conflict, as it will be remembered, the burden of the fight depended upon the Ametfean volunteers, many of the . regulars having been withdrawnfrom that line. The terrible battle in the Valley of Angos tura was decided by the volunteers. Ot tho 5,000 troops comprising the American army, more than four-fifths were volunteers; the regulars consisted of the artillery, dragoons, and staff.. It is true, high credit belonged to the regu lars; it is Bue the stubborn courage of Gen. Taylor, who did not know when he was beaten, was the element which pervaded the whole conflict, and gave hope to the little army that threw itself like a thunderbolt against the overwhelming columns of Santa Anna; .it is true that but. for suck officers as Davis, Bragg, and Montgomery and Reynolds, and many others, the day mighthavebeen lost; but history will write In gloWing characters that on this field, as well as upop all others, the American volunteer was true to his whole duty. • , , Gentle Men of the National Guards?—This magnificent structure Which you this day dedicate to the cause of your country, anti for which PhiladelAia is indebted to your own energy and enterprise, is one of the finest military edifices hi. our 'Union, and the only one over erected by a single volunteer com pany. It is the temple of the cititon soldier! We dedicate It in this martial presence, confi dent that it will also ever be the temple of honor and of patriotism: It has risen imoll its gracefill proportions within a little more' than a single year; It has grown' up from the voluntary efforts of a corps of gentlemen who aro animated by the noblest of emotions—the desire to servo their country, and to be ready for the emergency When BIN may require their services. Long may it stand a monument of their superiority as soldiers, and their excel lence as citizens. But may it continuo to be the home of Peace, and not the rendezvous of War. May the martial lessons here inculcated never be forgotten; but may they never be. I put in medico. Should they ever be de manded, however, may they find the members I of the National Guards as veady to stand forth' for the flag they carry and the name they bear, as if each was resolved to avenge an intll - wrong. The volunteer:soldier of America is no hire ling. lle is always a freeman. He isnot the uni-. formed pageant Of Peace; he is the first to rush to the flag of his country when the clarion of war thrills through the land. It fa then that his training in tranquil times is admired and emulated. It is then that his ready subordik nation to his superiors is so .pniversally ap plauded. It is then that his relations and his advantages as citizen and soldier sooth and comfort him. His love of country ; his position among the ffriends he has left behind hint; his self-respect, and that bright future which a grateful publiejthveys holds up before the distant patriot, apd in which, as in a mir ror, he can see himself; returaing from a well fought field, crowned with honors, and,- umentst—ln what other land upon Which ti sun shines is such an inducement bold gut young valor ? Is it in Eng,landt h wheroy pro !. motion is bought with gold,or cottforro as birthright?

But you have other duties to discharge. In times of peace, you owe something to the A s_4lto. You are made dalttettip4.- iv • you' arelcite - tOtddlor. ,fgrap pate of honor which you short] learn Ittitiat fkesi , (meat communion with your companions, In creases your reverence for the laws, and your regard for the feelings of your felloci-min. You become more and more responsible for good government In your city, your State, and through your whole country, in proportion as you become room and more able to defend them. You rapidly become prouder of the name of an honest man, and more eager to corn and to deserve the title of a true gentleman, because your military education heA taught • you that the soldier who Is not the soul of truth, who does not kindle at the story of a wrong done to weakness or to womanhood, who will not at all hazards risk his own life to save a fellow creature from injury, and who is not scrupulous in all his observances of. the proprieties •of life, should be tried by a drum-head court martial and dismissed from the roll of his corps. But your ditties do not end here. They aro always beginning, and never ending. You call yourselves the "National Guards!" This is not a.mere title chosen without moan ing; it is significant of a rare responsibility; it is a pledge of devotion to the most delicate and dangerous labor you can ever be called to discharge. Tour country may have other foes but those who threaten deer from beyond the sea.. She may tetve hereafter, as she has had heretofore, vipers at her own hearthstone, warmed into greatness by her bounty, who la turn may seek to wound her to the death. Fana ticism may rear its bloody flag, and stretch forth its parricidal arm to conduct a conflict of sections; the bulwark of the nation, the for tress of our civil liberties,may be threatened; the laws of Congress, passed to enforce the pledges of the Federal Constitution, may be assailed ; in that dread hour it will be the duty of the National Guards to take the front rank, and, it may he, to leadthe forlorn hope against the enemies of the Republic. Long may such a calamity be averted by a kind Providence; but if it should ever come upon us, the same spirit that induced the fathers to defend the soil against the invader, will rally the sons to protect the Union against her enemies. But there is still another respon sibility devolved upon you. You are the troops of the city as well as of the State and the nation; and upon you and your comrades ilAirms will rest the responsibility of protect jug Philadelphia from those disturbances which occasionally threaten the order and well-being of society. This is that service which, of all others, most repulsive to the volunteer sol dier. rie population that surrounds us is not like the population of Europe. Every citizen is here a sovereign in this land of popular sover eignty Every man is here a part of the State; he is an, American by birth or choice, and obeys the laws, Out merely because they are necessary to him, but because npou his obedience depends ttliqreservation orthe liberties of the whole. ITO him andio hie children, wealth and fame, like the brbad . avenueS Of a great - oily, are open. 'He' may staer in the calamity of na tions, NMI Cannot be long. Let him rather bear the Mahe has than fly to others that he knows not of. Let him turn from,the dema gogue who, in such an hour as this, for his own selfish purposes, seeks to disturb all the great interests of society, and still further . to impoverish thososwho depend upon their daily toil. Let hint compare this country with other countries ; his own lot with the condition of the surging and suffering people in other lands ; his G overnmeut, debt:free, credit pure, honor unsullied, with those dynasties which aro now rocking to their overthrow, anti which, when they do fall, will again 1111 Europe with blood and with crime. Let hint see the 'public schools open to his children ; let hint acknowledge the bounties of Providence in the fruits of the earth which have been gathered lbr his uses ; let hint feel that charity is abroad, that a spirit of concord and co-opera tion is plucking up our fainting commerce front the grent deeps of bankruptcy, and is re storing to animation the interests of labor and of industry. Surely to preserve these blessings we should all be willing to bear our temporary burdens yet a little longer; surely, with such a prospect near us, and before us, we should calmly await the passing away of the night. If we are patient and forbearing, we shall soon enjoy the good time coming. May you, the defenders of the city, be left to your own peacend pursuits, be permitted to remain la your avocations in private life, be called upon to act the .part, not of an armed force against your•own brothers and friends, but to take the lead, as moral heroes, in stilling those discontents which, when Want crouches at the cold hearthstone, and Henget', like a gaunt wolf, pursues the suffering poor, driving hun dreds to madness, may convulse a great city like ours. And when the storm is passed, you and your brothers will find that yott are the better disciplined for the trial you have endured, and that your arms have been burnished, not for the domestic evil but for the public enemy, and that you will be far more eager to protect the country, which, without a standing army, main tains peace in all its borders, and in a moment of universal distress is rescued front the tate that befalls other nations, by that spirit which binds its citizens together as one family, and, which Upholds the American Union astbe best' form of Government ou the face of the globe.

The following extract from a Jetter,•lately re ceived from a gentleman now engaged in or nithological pursuits, in the Gaboon country, on the Western coast of Africa, will be inter esting to many of our readers. It contains an account of The country, its inhabitants, • and the prosecution of the slave-trade, with some useful suggestions in regard to them: FERNAND-VAZ RIVER, Aug. 19, 1857. The largest town of the Cape Lopez people is Saixatanga. This town is the residence of the king, and lies in a beautiful prairie at the foot of a hill risineabout two miles in the in terior. It is a great resort for slavers, and a few years ago was an' extensive slave-market; even now the slave.trade is quite' brisk. There are two or three Portuguese factories constantly buying-slaves; and within the last two mouths large numbers of canoes have come into this river, and left with a living freight purchased with money. The N7zareth and (lama, or Fernand-vas rivers, are convenient and easy roads for the traffic in slaves ; and often, when the slave -vessels are pursued by cruisers, they enter the Nazareth and hide them selves In the numerous creeks flowing Into that river. Barracoon is the name given the place where the slaves are kept, and to alt the establishments of the slavers. The whole Is surrounded by a very high fence, and the barracoon is properly a large and airy house in the midst of a yard surrounded by another high fence. There is always a man on guard. The slaves I saw were tied,six by six together, with a chain aroundtheir necks, and when one moved the rest were obliged to follow him. The slaves otherwise were well eared for, having plenty of food, and being kept clean. Talking is entirely forbidden, though I should not think it wen necessary, as the poor creatures come from is great many different tribes in the interior, and generally cannot understapd each other. The sick are kept apart front the main body, in order to prevent any contagious Alisease with which they might be affected, from spreading. It is astonishing to see with what rapidity three or four hundred slaves are' put on board a vessel. 1' have been told by the Cape Lopez people that the slaves think that Ohite Men buy them in order to cat them in our own country, This traffic in slaves; which has been going on for eo long a time at Cape Lopez, has made tho inhabitants a lazy, saucy, and drunken people. They think they can deal with an honest man as they,are in the habit of doing :with the slaves, who have to submit to all ports of vallainies at their rands, and they are the greatest rin.driukers I ever saw, rum being a powerful element in the traffic of slaves on this part of the coast. I really do not know which aro the worst off—those Who ably in Africa, or those who are shipped to foreign lands to be Slaves; but for my part, if I had to choose, I would much rather be a slave in America than live here : in Africa as the Africins do. Civilization has made the negro of America a different being.from the native African. The Former enjoys more comeatand is of some use to himself and to society, whilst the latter has no borritorts, is hardly clad, and is so lazy that half of the time be is hungry, not having lire ambition to procure himself food. I have the greatest difficulty in procuring food for myself and people, and that; too, when offering them goods in exchange which they prize.very highly ; and it is.the same with every white man here. The houses of these people are poor and dirty, and their inmates, stretched on mats, try to kill time during the day by sleeping. At night they peatdrtima t for they are afraid of devileand of 'being witched, and are covered wltli stial4gites to reserve them from tinintnetablehvilliof which boyars lnimanateint dread..atierhs are always ayi Mitit caw another, tthiposing 'of anon azwives, at t ud'inany pint, war follows— not a 'liar tote *we ivhites would wage—but a sort of war which we would call an assassi; nation, for they watch a time when a man, wo man, or child way PRlrtrittillMte• nolitary path guing,tio vplutatlen , and Oe n tfifrniMia ildhiedensi,r ti t he iiicor4ecf town will often ki 1 tjte Ohahlf.anta of several, In order to latia a *age palaver; and they °flan one anOttteltlXl account of witchcraft, • • t'e to of Santimstalititl% an.s am .4 prised that the philanthropists of New Eng land, whofind so much in the condition of slave.of. the South to bewail andcomrniserate hare not-turned.their attention to this part o the world, where there is so much misery an. ignorance, and so large a field for Christianity and benevolence to work some practical good. The Cape Lopez people speak the UM language as the .31epongwese, and incontestably belong to the same tribe. The soil of Caps Lopez is generally light and sandy. Ttr. country presents quite a different aspect fro; that between the Fernando Po and Gaboo. Jivers, and resembles the country of &tithe Africa towards the Cape of Good Hopi, flier— being extensive prairies, in the midst of which large groves of trees aro numerous. In tbes groves the people have theirplantations. Tb • soil .1a good, and sweet potatoes, cassada. plantains, ground-nuts, and sugar-cane are planted in large quantities, and form the main staple of food. Sweet potatoes, in particular, grow very well. Good roads .could be easily made through the country, and would be powerful aids to civilization; and the rais ing of cattle could be made a profitable business, as the 'prairies would afford goo( grazing. A good many wild cattle are seen wandering all over these prairies. Water seemed to me to be rather 'carve, having met In a journey of sixty mites into the interior but four streams; but the natives ware m that at the bottom of the hills, in their groves there are a good many springs. When yo get about fifty miles into the interior the prai rio lands become gradually smaller,•and wood take their place. Tho country through whicl I travelled was very thinly populated, tho peo plc loving to stay on or near the banks of the Gaboon and Nazareth rivers and their tributa ries. There is groat want of a good harbor at Sangatanga, vessels being obliged to anchor six or eight miles distant from the shore. I think the neighboring country of the Nara teth would afford a much better field for colo nization, for the water communications are very numerous. But Ido not see really how Africa can be colonized with the present lazy population. The only trade until now has been in tho natural wild products of the coun try—slaves. THE TARIFF. [For The Preu ] PRILADSLPIIIA, N0T.16, 1867 MR. EDITOR: I have read over an article signed G. MM.," in your valuable journal to-day. I, for one, am in favor of a realanablt tariff; but no tariff can be of any use to our own people if you will entrust the regulation of the currency to foUrteen hundred rag-mills. called banks, the tariff and .the currency . Is REALLY ONE QUESTION. With a sound currency —a currency amply sufficient to keep all out people PIMA' employed,but not in such excess as to fill the pockets of speculators—the pre& oat tariff might answer; but you may add to the tariff until you make every article pay one hundred per cent..duty, and if you then multiply the rag-shops, called banks, and make 2;800 of them instead of the 1,400 *e now have, you will soon find a tariff of one hundred pea cent. insufficient to keep our factories open and our people employed. We would bu overwhelmed by foreign goods made under a sound specie-paying currency. But to your correspondent, (( G. licit." I quote as ful ler% s : Suppose that the next Congress should grant this monopolizing class all that tt want,. where would it be a year after o The very stimulus that would be supplied by such legislation might cause more mines to be opened, more fantorici to be built, more minerals to be extracted from the earth, more machinery to bo put into motion, than will be re quired for the next generation, and the individuals who are at present engaged in these enterprises might be ruined by the domestic competition which would at once arise. The coal, and iron interest has had its fAir share of good fortune. See the many millionaires in our midst who have emblazoned on their escut cheon—the black diamond and the iron sceptre with the appropriate motto; ,• Iron to cool our enemies, coal to warm our friends." • Now, Mr. Editor, dm protection is to in crease the competition, lower the price to the consumer, and break all our own people. Let us see further what your correspondent says : Place a high tariff on foreign maaufvtures. and you offer an incentive to smuggling, and the honest merchant is obliged to contend with the most un scrupulous parties. Men a prohibitory tariff on foreign toenufacturvi, and you will soon find brancbes of the leading est , iblishments of Man chester arid Lyons opened on our seaboard, taking advantage of the protection which will be afforded to them just as much as to oar . own citizens, con quering the climate, by the mil of the premium our revenue (1 laws tam! them, having at the same time their leading concerns in Europe, where they can raise money at low rates, and fa a few years our own manufacturets will be ruined. A change of policy will then be adopted by our law makers. In the meantime, foreigners will retire to their homes with pockets well lined. llcro we have a different view, under the panic high dutics,that breaks all our own peo ple. These foreign manufacturers are to con quer the climate and lino our seaboard with manufactories, Is not this the very thing we want 7 If they will bring their CUEIP CAPITAL and their GE.AAT SKILL to our shores, and em ploy our, people, ought we not to bid them welcome, and should we not rejoice in their prosperity ?
