The Military Operations.
The theatre of the existing war in this
country fs one of the grandest and most ex
tensive ever occupied at any one period by
hostile armies. After enjoying for many years
the blessings of profound peace, we have sud
denly been fprced, for the protection of the
nation, Into tbe most imposing struggle that
has ever been inaugurated. Through the mild
ness of our laws, the forbearing spirit of the
people of the North, and the treasonable per
fidy of the late Administration, the South
ern traitors were enabled to organize the
most formidable conspiracy that has ever
existed, and its suppression will necessarily
require an amount of effective military
strength that has rarely been displayed.
Armies are now being organized in thirty-four
different States, some of which contain as
much territory as the populous and powerful
nations of Europe, and there ie scarcely a
county in our whole broad land from which
soldiers will not be sent forth to fight for or
against the banner of the stars and stripes.
The area from which recruits is being ob
tained is nearly as large as all Europe, and
the districts over which actual offensive ope
rations will be conducted will be more exten
sive than that embraced in any of the great
campaigns of Narotemi. That there should
be some deley in completing preparations for
such a contest, and in tranaforming a nation
of civilians into a nation of warriors, is clearly
anavoidable, and those who are so imtatient
for immediate triumphs should rather wonder
at the mighty results that have already been
effected than complain that all the impossi-
Miklos they demand have not yet been
achieve&
The machinery of the local government of
eleven States, with a population of nine mil
lions, has fallen into the possession of the
traitors, and for the present they control all
the resources of the tt seceded" portion of
the Republic as thoroughly as if they were its
legitimate rulers. They have excited the
people to a state of frenzy, and so thoroughly
indoctrinated them with false ideas of our
Goverament, and of the designs of our pre
sent rulers, that thousands of them would
apparently rather rush madly to destruction
than submit to the execution of laws which
they were mainly instrumental in framing, and
the perpetuation of a Union which has in all our
past history proved their hest protector and
greatest benefactor.
Eat extensive as have been the prepara
tions to insure the success of the rebellion,
the measures to subdue it have been based on
a corresponding scale. The blockade of their
coast is rapidly being perfected, and of the
efficiency of our cruisers evidence is frequently
afforded by the number of prizes they capture
and the destruction of the commerce of the
traitorous, ports. No civilized people have
devoted less attention to manufacturing pur.
suits than those of the South, and none are
more thoroughly dependent upon other coun
tries for the gratification of nearly all their
wants that rude agriculture cannot supply. A
strict blockade is doubly fatal to them. It
renders almost totally unavailable their princi
pal products, for, alter the limited home con
sumption of rice, cotton, and tobacco is pro
vided for, the excess stock of those articles
poetieeses little or no value in districts from
which it cannot be exported. And as few
manufactories of clothing, shoes, fundture,
tools, paper, or any other articles requiring
skilled industry to produce them, exist in the
South, a constant succession of unavoidable
privations will prevail ameng them as long as
their intercourse with other nations is sus
pended. This one means of aggression alone
Would, if energetically and persistently sus
tained, eventually compel the traitors to sue
for peace, and to abandon their wicked
schemes. It is scarcely possible that they
would, for any protracted period, persist in
invoking upon themselves a total destruction
of all their commercial prosperity, and a de
privation of nearly all the necessary comforts
and luxuries of life to which they have been
accustomed.
But while we blockade the sea-coast, and
destroy the frontier trade of the Secession dis
trict, we have now under arms nearly three
hundred thousand men to drive back their
ones, and to cg enlarge the area of freedom 0 /
by overthrowing the dominion of the traitor
ous oligarchy. With all the loud boasts and
long-continued secret preparations of our ene
mies, not a single point in the free States is
now seriously menaced, while all their out
posts have been driven in. Their scheme for
precipitating Missouri into a rebellious atti
tude has been signally defeated ; the Go
vernor, upon whose machinations they
chiefly relied tor success in that despe
rate enterprise, has been obliged to aban
don his official post, and seek safety in
flight, and the continued loyalty of the
State has been placed beyond a doubt. Cairo
has been so strongly fortified that the re
doubtable Gen. Prtnew has shown no dispo
sition to carry out his threat of attacking it.
It is true that we have not yet sent an army
down the Mississippi, but there are excellent
reasons why such an expedition should be
postponed until complete preparations to in
sure its success are perfected. When the
116118611 arrives during which the 'health of our
troops will not be too much jeopardized,
the valley of the great father of waters
will doubtless become the theatre o f
very Important • operations, which will,
we trust, result in the complete restoration
of the authority of the Federal Government in
that important region. The patriotism and
prudence of the people of Kentucky have pre
vented them, notwithstanding the treachery of
their Governor, from being forced or seduced
into a treasonable position. In Western Vir.
ginia, political and military influences are now
at (work which promise to effect very import
ant results. The example is there set of boldly
throwing off all allegiance to a traitorous State
Government, which transcended its legitimate
powers ; and if the movement under General
IcOmmnau, to gain possesaion of Southwit
ern Virginia, and to support the patriots o-
East Tennessee, proves successful, a wedge
will be driven into the heart of the conspiracy
that will soon destroy it.
lleanwhile, the immense armies which are
rapidly being concentrated at Fortress Mon
roe, at Washington, and the Heights opposite
the capital, and in the vicinity of Harper's
Ferry, are doubtless preparing for an import
ant advance movement. If a great battle is
fought, in which the traitors are routed, it
will be difficult for them to rally their scat
tered legions. Confidence will be restored to
the Union men throughout the whole South,
and it will be almost impossible to resist the
onward march of our victorious troops.
Even if, unfortunately, the first great battle
should prove disastrous to ns, it will only
arouse us to redoubled exertions to increase
our forces, and to remedy, as far as possible,
any defects of our military organization which
may become apparent. Possessing immense
superiority in men, money, and resources of
all kinds, in fighting for a holy and noble
cause against a base and infamous conspiracy,
there is no such word as fail in our lexicon.
The only question is bow much time will be
required to achieve our complete triumph.
Another Compromise Scheme.
We have never given the New York Herald
credit for sincerity in its professions of sym
pathy with the Union feeling now extending
throughout the North. It was among the
most audacious and unscrupulous defenders
of the Southern traitors, even after the fall of
Fort Sumpter. It professed to favor the
scheme of FERNANDO WOOD for making a
separate State out of New York city. When
the Northern heart was throbbing with indig
nation at the outrages of the Southern trai
tors, the Herald continued to malign thi3 Ad
ministration, and sought to persuade the mer
chants of New York into holding meetings of
peace, and entering into financial leagues for
the purpose of embarrassing the Treasury.
It openly advocated the abandonment of Fort
Pickens, Fort Sumpter, the other Southern
forts, and a recognition of the Southern Con
federacy. Its conversion was too sudden,
and its zeal for the Union too noisy to be
sincere. The record of its editor was op
posed to any genuine devotion to the cause of
freedom, and we have been anticipating its
desertion from the Union forces whenever a
favorable opportunity presented itself.
In its issue of Thursday we see evidences
of a change of front. Its four leading articles
are written in advocacy of a scheme for a
1/12/011 of the Northern and Southern fortes,
in an aggressive war against Mexico, Cuba,
Central America, and Canada. It uses lan
guage like this : ft We propose an armistice,
a coalition; and a compromise. Let there be
an armistice between our loyal and. revolted
States, for one, two, or three years, in refer
ence to our domestic troubles. Let us settle
the difficulties between the North and South
as speedily as possible, and march the united
armies of the two sections to the liberation of
Cuba, St. Domingo, Forte Rico, and the other
West India Islands, and to the liberation, also,
of Mexico. Let us combine against the com
mon enemy, and dispute the supremacy of the
Mistress of the Seas?'
*Of course this wild scheme of aggressive and
wicked war, which would array the whole
European world against us in an angry contest,
is not seriously broached. We believe the
Herald is in favor of cc an armistice, a coali-
tion, and a compromise," no matter how de
grading the terms may be to the Northern
sentiment. The newspaper which could se
riously propose the secession of New York
city and Long Island, in January, would have
no scruples of conscience in recognizing the
secession of eleven States in July. By forcing
upon the Northern mind the consideration of
exciting and impracticable theories, it hopes
to direct it from the mighty task it has under
taken, and to prepare it for the adoption of a
compromise like that of Mr. ViriTTENDEN, or
the recognition of the Southern Confederacy.
There is a great disposition among the luke
warm patriots of the North who have been
forced into the Union ranks, and who even
now look on the Federal Government with
apathy, and take no part in its defence, to
enter into some such an arrangement. There
are many in Pennsylvania who have been pro.
minent among past party leaders, who would
be glad 'to assist in such a work. Mayor
Woon, in a brief speech to a company of
cadets on Wednesday, evidently threw out
this idea to teat public sentiment, when he
lie said, 4 . We shall maintain the authority of
the Government in all its majesty, and, at the
same time, make every concession consistent
With our honor and welfare. I hope, how
ever, that if your services are ever needed,
you will be called upon to meet a foreign foe,
rather than your own countrymen." And of
similar import are the resolutions of the New
York Democratic Editorial Convention, pub
lished elsewhere.
We trust that our own position on this
question will not be misunderstood. We are
not arguing for war in the abstract,—we have
as deep a wish to see peace once more reign
in this land as any citizen can possibly have,
and we have no desire to delay the consum
mation of national harmony a single instant.
But this is no time for debating a peace which
into be made by a concessions," or by the
"honorable means" or any compromise.
The time to talk peace is not when we have a
menaced capital, a dishonored flag, obstruct
ed commerce on the Mississippi, pirates on
the seas pursuing our merchantmen, the gal
lows or rifle threatening every Union man in
the South, and masked batteries around the
tomb of 'WASHINGTON. We cannot talk peace
while Fort Sumpter is filled with an exultant
foe, while Fort Pickens is surrounded by the
batteries of a rebel army, while the blood of
Er.r.swoarn is unavenged, and a United States
Senator is menaced with death for his devo
tion to his country. This treason must be
first crushed; its leaders • must yield an un
conditional submission, and when we are
assured that the Union has been maintained,
and that its flag floats from James River to
Matagorda Bay, it will be time to talk of an
honorable peace and the as concession con
sistent with our honor and welfare."
We say, therefore, to those people of the
North who advocate these dishonorable at
tempts to procure an armistice, whether as
recommended by Mayor WOOD, the Edito
rial Convention, or the New York Herald,
that they are most efficiently serving treason,
and giving as much aid and comfort to the
enemy as it they sent General BEAVREGARD
copies of Secretary CAXERON'S private de
' irpatches, or depleted our arsenals for the
use of the rebels. And it behooves the pa
triotic people of the North to keep a vigilant
eye upon the traitors in their midst, and
promptly 'rebuke any attempt to bring diahonor
upon our flag.

CUMBERLAND, June 27, 1861
1 have been accustomed to sending my mounted
pickets, thirteen men in all, to different posts
along the several approaches to Cumberland.
Finding it next to impossible to get reliable in
formation of the enemy, yesterday I united the
thirteen, and directed them, if possible, to get to
Frankfort, a town midway between this place
and Romney, to see if there were any rebel
troops there. They went within a quarter of a
mile of the place and found it full of cavalry.
Returning, they overtook forty-one horse
men, and at once charged them, routing and
driving them back more than a mile, killing
eight of them, and scouring seventeen horses.
Corporal HMS, in command of my men, was
desperately wounded with sabre eats and bullets.
Taking him back, they halted about an hour. and
were then attacked by the enemy, who had been
reinforced to about seventy five men. The attack
was so sudden that they abandoned their horses
and crossed to a small island at the mouth of
Patterson's creak• >The charge of the rebels was
bold• and confident, yet twenty-three fell under
the fire of my pickets, close about and on the
Wand. My bellows were finally driven off, mat
tering each man for himself, and they are all in
camp now.
Ono Corporal Bergs, of Company A, was
wounded, but is reoovering. One Jona 0. Bonn
iNcunton-, of Company B, is dead. The last was
taken prisoner and brute murdered.
Three oompanies went to the ground this morn
ing and recovered everything belonging to my
picket, except a few of the horses. The enemy
were engaged all night long in boxing up their
dead. Two of their officers were killed, and they
laid ont twenty.three on the porelt of a neighbor
ing farmhouse. I will bury my poor fellow to
morrow.
I have positive information, gained to-day,
that there are four regiments of rebels about
Romney, under Colonel hicnonew What their

Serious Affair at Matthias Point s Va.
CAPTAIN WARD, . OF THE FREE.
BORN, Firrx4ED
WABIIIMIOI I I, 3 . 61111 28. The Unitcd Staten
steamer Paunsoe arrived at the navy yard this
morning, bringing interesting, though painful In
telligentle from Matthias Paint.
According to the statements of persona in Ithe
espedltion, Captain Ward, of the steamer Free
born, yesterday obtained from Captain Rowan, of
the Pawnee, a reinforcement of about twenty
men, and, united with others from his own vessel,
comprising between thirty and forty in all, started,
In several cutters, for Matthias Point, taking with
them about two hundred and fifty bags, which
were filled with sand on the shore, and with which
breal,tWOrkil were Non erected, Under the direc
tion of Lieutenant Chaplin.
While in the act of returning to the Freeborn for
the purpose, it is stated, of obtaining cannon for
the battery, a force of rebels, estimated 'at from
800 to 1,200, suddenly emerged from a thick weed,
in whioh they had
_been cenoealed, and poured a
volley of shot into the Federal party, who made a
hasty retreat. Several of the men swam off to the
Freeborn. Captain Ward, on the Freeborn, pro
tected his men as far as potaible with his guns,
and grid twelve or fifteen shot among the rebels,
with what effect could not be ascertained,
While in the act of sighting a gun after. it is
said, the gunner had been wounded, Capt. Ward
was stmta in the breast by a bullet, and in the
course of an hour thereafter died of internal he
morrhage.
A sailor named William J. Sew was wounded
in four planes. Several others were also wounded,
among them Jaolc Williams, the coxswain, a ball
entering his thigh. The flag he carried was com
pletely riddled.
The men all reached the vessel withent any far
ther damage. Capt. Ward's body was brought here
to-day by the Pawnee. In the funeral procession
which accompanied it from the wharf to the
place' of temporary deposit in the navy yard, was
displayed the riddled banner.
The gloom which prevailed in this looality was
oppressive. The remains will be transported
North.
It is eatd that after the Federal foroe retreated
from Matthias Point, the breastworks wore imme
diately occupied by the rebels, and that informa
tion had, early in the day, been oommtmicated by
a negro belonging to Dr. Hooe, whose house was
burnt by a party from the Resolute, on Tuesday,
that the enemy Were in the neighborhood, and at
leant I thousand strong.
The negro had approached the Federal party as
a fugitive, with his shirt on a pole, as a kind of
flag of trues. He has been brought up to Wash.

LATi6/3 ANOIINR OF ...EX'S, &C., FOUND SZCIVATAD IN
Basalt/out, June 28.—The publics mind is quite
feverish here today, and there is much subdued
excitement, but no demonstration has been ovis,
likely to be made. Considerable crowds surround
the polio*. stations, anxious to hear of expected
developments under the new police regime.
A search has been progressing in the Marshal's
office. A large quantity of arms and ammunition
was found secreted in a cellar, in the walls,
and beneath the doors. A ease of valuable
pistols, over eight hundred rifles,`twenty-five
of which are of the Minis pattern, were among,
the disaoveries. The latter are supposed to have
belonged to the Massachusetts soldiers who ware
disarmed by the mob on the lath of April. -
An immense quantity of percussion caps, offline
ted at one million, was also found, as well as
three thousand one hundred ball cartridges, six
thousand Minie cartridges, and various other war
like artistes, including balls for the steam gun.
The search is still pregreseing. It is supposed that
a considerable quantity of arise will be found at
the various station-houses,
This morning General Banks issued an order di
rooted to Colonel Reply, in reply to the,protest of
the Police Commissioners, in which he says: " You
will take special notice that by my proclamation
of this day, neither the law, nor the officers sp •
pointed to execute the law, are affected in any
manner whatever, except as it operates upon the
memberi of the Board of Commissioners and the
Chief of Police; every offioer and man, with the
exception of those above named, will be continued
in the teervioe, and in the positions they now
occupy, unless they shall refuse. In such asses
the Provost Marshal is to select others to 111 their
places."
Among the articles found at Marshal Kaue's
office" was a twelve-pound cannon ball, bearing
the insoription—" From Fort Sumter, to Marshal
Kane."

Two six-pound, and two four.potuad guns, half s
ton of assorted shot, four hundred weight of ball
and eight hundred rile-bail cartridges, were amon
the discoveries. They were secreted beneath pil e ,
of coal, and some under the flooring of the back
building of the old City Ball lately °coupled by,
the Marshal. The search for the arms is still pro-1
grassing..
The United' States marshal having sufficient in i
formation to justify him, issued a writ on Adam

field pieces, g, 8, and 12 pounders, all new ant
well mounted, with carriages, &a. Also, three
siege guns, which had been manufactured, it IS

Lieut. liowison and Capt. Pedlar, of the Zoaaver,

The compliment paid to the Pennsylvania troops
by the Inspector General yeeterday, was to the

Fifth regiment, as stated in yesterday's despatch.
The affair at Cloud's Mille seems to' have been
only another attempt of the enemy to harass our
plekete, who are at present the only victims of the
warfare, and to notify us of their presence.
They made only two captures, neither of whom
was prepared for resistance. hey were pounced
upon by about fifteen rebel' amity, from a side
road.
Murphy was for the moment off his horse. The
other, a Zouave, was engaged ht picking cherries,

Death of Capt. James H. Ward.
[From the /few York Evening Post, of yesterday,]
Our despatohes to-day announce the 'death or
Capt. James H. Ward, of the United States navy.
Capt. Ward was killed by the rebels during an
tuition at Matthias Feint, Virginia, yesterday.
Capt. Ward was the eldest son of the late Col.
James Ward, a prominent °Risen of Hartford,
Conn., and was born in that city in the year 1806.
Me entered the navy March 4th, 1823, and made
his drat cruise as a midshipman in the Constetu
non, under Commodore McDonough, with whom
he sailed four years in succession. He was pro-
Meted to a lieutenancy, and was in no ship which
carried Jahn Randolph as United States minister
to Rusda. He was then attached for some time to
the Mediterranean squadron.
Shortly after his promotion as a first lieutenant,
he was sent to the li.frican squadron, and re
mained on the coast almost long enough, as he
need to say himself, to become acclimate d. Once,
during this time, he was prostrated with the terri
ble coast fever, and his life was despaired of. But
be lived to come home, and to return, again as
Commander in the United States squadron, and
rendered effective service is tbe capture of several
slavers.
More recently he bee cruised as commander of
the Vaxen in the Gulf squadron. He has been ac
tively and almost oonetantly in servioe, and his
!aims years on shore have been occupied in writ
ing valuable works on naval tactics, gunnery, and
steam as applied to naval purposes, and be has
added several ingenious and valuable in v e n ti on s
to the ordnance of our navy. For a period he held'
a.professorehip in the Naval School at Annapolis,
and some four years age was aPPOintati 4 Mbe
dlion of commander of the receivfng ship N ;L.
Carolina at the Brooklyn navy yard.
This position, gratifying as it was to Commander
Ward, and to his friends, was at once promptly,
resigned when he felt that he could render more
essential service to his country in a position of
more active duty. Be suggested to his fellow
townsman, the Secretary of the Navy, the effective
serviectitat could be rendered by the fitting oat of
s. :steam flotilla of light draught, and upon his
reimmuttelation, early in May, the 2'hotaas -Kee
dern.aael three other small propellers were par- .
ahued.for the navy and fitted out as gem-boats.'
This flotilla was commissioned May 16th, and
.Tattose Ward was appointed commander. On that
day he left the North Carolina, hie men mount
ing the rigging and giving him hearty cheers, and
alf the officers at the yard, on the wharf to see
hins sail.
Ea Baited: that night to join the aradron in
Chesapeake Bay. On his arrival Saturday, before
reporting himself to Commodore Stringham, he
opened fire on the rebel battery at Sewell's Point,
and, with the Star and other vessele, 'Mewled the
battery and drove out the rebels. He then re
ported himself and was sent by the Commodore
with despatches to Washington, and on hie way he
captured two prises, pith fifty PriSOnall, and gar
ried them into Washington.
Sines - then he has been one of the moat rattly°
and energetic officers in the squadron. The tele
graph to-day brings the account of his 14;4 engage
ment.
Ilis appointment as a commander was dated
September 9, 1853. He has been familiarly spo
kenof, since the Sewell ' s Point a ff air, as Captain
Ward, and there Is no doubt but that his commis
sion to a full captaincy would have dated from that
day-.
fikCommander Ward was married in 1612 to a
daughter of Mr. Samuel Whittemore, of - this city.
Of his children, his oldest and youngest eons are
with their mother in Germany. Hut second eon
was his clerk and left the .Pfortle. Carolina to join
Die father at'Washington a week ago.
Hie brother, MT. Vfm. A. , Ward, of this city, re
ceived the announcement of his death this noon,
and immediately left for Washington.
Commander Ward's death has created a :pro
found emulation. He was endeared to a large mole
of friends at Annapolis, Hartford, and in this city
—not only personal friends, but those his brilliant
tionduet has won for him the past few weeks. But,
as one of the nearest of his friends remarked this
noon—" His death is a shock, but we have expect
ed it rtho position that Qaptain Ward would take
in an engagenient would necessit ate his death, if
any one on board was killed, He would be in the
place of danger." A fitting eulogy for so brave a
man!
In hie religious belief Commander Ward was a
devout Catholic and a consistent gentleman.
Commander Ward wee ono of the beet educated
men in the navy. Before his appointment as a
midshipman, he was for two years a etudersi to
the Norwich (Consieptiout) University, (Captain
Partridge i e military school,) and, after he entered
the navy, he passed a year of leave in Washington
(now Trinity) College He was an indefatigable
student all his life.
Ha was possessed of a handsome property left to
him by his rather and, just before he sailed on
the Freeborn., his 'brother-in-law effected an
ranee of 0f,5.5,009 on his life at the Mutual Life office
In this atty.

Ratification Itioeitog
A meeting of citizens. Irrespeotive of patty, to
ratify the nomination of Non. William IT Mere
dith as the candidate for Congress in the Second
Congressional district, was held last evening at
National Hall, Market street, below Thirteenth.
The hall was not quite half fall at eight o'clock,
the hour for whioh the meeting was
Benjamin Gerhard called the meeting to order,
and nominated Samuel H. Perkins as ohairman.
This was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Perkins read the call from the morning
papers explaining the object of the meeting! They
met there not as Republioans or Democrats, but as
friends of the Union, rapplentie the Union of the
North and South, and nothing but the Union.
They were assembled to express their approbation
of the 1:(012. Wm. M. Meredith as the candidate
for Congress in the Second Congressional district,
who was competent, and, if elected, would faith
fully represent them in the halls of Congress.
A list of eloe.presidents, including the names of
Henry Carey, Caleb Cope, James Dundee, J. Ed
gar Thomson, and one hundred others, was read
by W. Parker Cummings, and a corresponding
number of secretaries.
The above officers were deolared elected, arid in
vited to take their seats on the platform.
Mr. Gerhard then read the following resolu
tions :
TH ameovonimia
Resolved, That we, the citizens of the Second
Congressional district, irrespective of party, do
cordially approve of the nomination of the Hon.
Wm. M. Meredith for Congress.
Resolved, That, in our present national crisis,
political party nominations for ;Congress are inex
pedient.
Resolved, That we cordially approve of the
course of the Federal Government in suppressing
the rebellion against the Constitution and the laws,
and pledge ourselves to support all proper mea
sures for that purpose.
The resolutions were received with repeated
shouts of applause.
Mr. Gerhard said, after this unanimous approval
it was scarcely necessary to say one word in sup
port of these resolutions it was evident they were
their resolutions before the vote was taken upon
them. Yet they were couched in the finest words
possible. The one resolution stated that in the
name of Wm. M. Meredith they all knew they
bad the best man for the place. The other was
that when the rebels were in arms, and the enemy
at the gate, polities should he forgotten. [Ohms.]
We cannot know now, until the suppression
of the rebellion, who belongs to any party.
Will you support the Government and sustain their
efforts to month the laws and furnish men
and means for that purpose ? [Cries of "We
will."] Far was it from him to speak against
the nominations made by the other parties for the
same position, one of whom is this moment a
leader in the army of the United States, and if
God spares his life there will be no position too
high for him. [Cheers J But until this crisis is
past, we know no party save the Mends of the
00nntry,.and no opponents but its enemies. This
is a great national oriels. Civil wisdom is not to
be put behind military glory, and the speaker
doubted whether in the Second district there was
a person more competent to Jill the position pro
posed than Hon. Wm. M. Meredith. [Cheers j
Loud cries were made for Daniel Dougherty,
Erg , and amid the moat enthusiastic and raptu
rous applause this gentleman ascended the plat
form. After the applause had subsided, Mr.
Dougherty spoke as follows ;
Fart.ow-omirsina My words shall be few, for
the time of action is at hand. With all my heart,
my might, and mind, I favor the election .of
William M Meredith. [Applause.] His election
will be the first great blow struck by the people
against the moaned despotism that has for
kears ruled this fair city. I moan what is
nown as the delegate system, [cheers,] a
base and fraudulent system, inTented and con
trolled by tricksters ; by which scheme respeota
ble citizens, of all political parties, have been
madelhe tools of barroom bullies, and three-cent
blacklegs A System which has too often eurrender
ed our public institution', our councils, our county
and municipal offices, Into the hands of the vilest
of earth's oreatures—professional polltioianc—and
has sent, with rare exceptions, as our representa
tives in the Legislature of the State, a brainless
and corrupt gang, whe have sold the sovereignty
of Pennsylvania to all who would pay their iinqup
tons demands. (Cries of " That's so.") Years
after years have our people groaned under, yet
never raised an arm against, this terrible oppres
sion.
In peaceful times these politicians might still
have been our masters Bat in snob an lions as
this, when the nation is beset with armed traitors,
when ten thousand of the flower of our youth, for
saking home and kindred. forgetting all save
country, are reedy for her sake to leap into the
very jaws of death, shall we suffer this venal crew,
drunk with past suessesses, to profane, with sacrile
gious infam, our holy cause by partisan appeals ?
[Cries of N o, no.) No ! Let us now and forever
repudiate this insolent diotation ; and therefore I
am for Win. M. Meredith. [Cheers.]
He was nominated by a committee of citizens,
who had no band In their own selection, and knew
not of their appointment until it was publicly an
nounced. These citizens, of all shades of political
opinion, after the -fullest consultation, sacrificing
all other considerations on the altar of patriotism,
agreed en William M. Meredith, [applause] and
therefore I vote for him. He is the right man for
the place. Philadelphia, in snob an hour, needs
on the floor of Congress a gentleman not only of
the purest character, but also of the intelleot to
oope anooesofully with the master minds which may
there be assembled, and therefore I am for Wil
liam M. Meredith [Loud applause, I
Finally, because we know that, while he will
sanction the notion of the Administration in calling
into the field our glorious volunteers, he will be
neither its blind advocate nor its bitter opponent;
but that he will, with all the power of his gigantic
mind, advise and insist on the most vigorous prose
cution of the war, until the /617 t. traitor Lae throws
down his arms, and unconditionally acknowledged
allegiance to the National Government and the
Federal Constitution. [Applause] This is no
time for parlor sentences_ Let every friend of the
Union show his hand. There are even in our
midst arrant traitors, who call this, on our part,
an unnatural sear ; who would, with delight,
split the nation, and tear our flag in twain; who
would surrender up the battle-fields of New Orleans
and Yorktown; who would acknowledge the
graves of Clay and Jackson and the tomb of Wash.
ington as foreign soil ; who would, while the gaze
of the word is concentrated on no, admit that a
republic cannot quell a rebellion, and, therefore,
we are unfit to be free. [Load applause.] Dou
glas, dying, declared that ilia war must be waged
until the victory is won, [renewed applause ; J that
we should banish all political differences; that
there can be no neutrals now—only patriots or
traitors. No traitor will veto for Nfro. M. Mere
dith. [Applause J 0, my countrymen, let us stand
together in this hour of peril ; let us imitate the
noble example of our .brethere of Luserne, bury
ing all difference.; unite upon & man who can and
will hold aloft the banner of the Republic. [Lana
and long continued cheering.]
Lend (WWI were made for David Paul Brown,
Charles Gibbons, and others ; but as these gentle
men did not appear, the meeting adjourned.
THE LEASE OF THE SIINBONT AND ERIE
RAILROAD—MAIITINQ Or = Tin STOCICHOLDBES.—
The stockholders of the Banbury and Brie Rail
road Company held a meeting on Thursday, for
the purpose of considering the prOpOSed lease of
the road to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Mr. Gideon J. Ball presided.
A report was reeeived from Mr. William G.
Morehead, president of the Einnbury and Eric
Company, in which he stated that, in consequence
of the financial condition of the country, and the
inability of the Board to continue the work, the
road had been permanently leased to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, subject to the ratifi
cation of the respective companies. The , ropert
says:
" The Board of Managere have had this subjeot
before them for several weeks, during 'Mob they
haveglven to it, in all , its details, their anxious
and deliberate consideration, and they have at,
rived at the result just stated, only after having
exhausted every other possible means within their
control, to eontinue the promotion of the work.
By the passage of the not of last winter, author
ising them to issue $5,000,000 of first mortgage
bonds—the state receiving second mortgage bonds
in exchange for those given her in 1857 for the pur
chase of the State canals—your board fully be-
Raved that they would have no Mealy in nego
tiating said bonds for an amount saffietent to ena-
No them to complete and fully equip the road. In
this they have been disappointed by the present
national dinioultiee, which preeede the possibility
of negotiating bonds on any unfinished road, in
this country or in Europe.
"From this cause they have beers unable to go
on with the work, or to realise from any source
standout means to enable them to pay the existing
pressing liabilities of the company.'
The lease was read by the secretary, Mr. Pries.
The instrument provides that the same shall con
tinue for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and
that the. Pennsylvania Railroad, Company will
agree to pay the Interest as it accrues upon, and
putohue at par when the bonds become dee.
Several amendments to the lease were proposed,
but none of them ware acted on definitely. Is
was dually determined to await the action of City
Councils at their meeting on Thursday afternoon,
and the stockholders adjourned to meet again yes
terday morzung.
YI92IIIDAY 314.1111RNA'S
The stookholders met again yesterday morning,
according to adjournment. Mr. Ball was la the
chair.
Judge Lewis inquired if the city was officially
represented. The reply was in the negative.
Mr. Lewis assumed that there was not a majority
of the stook represented. Thepre,rident and secre
tary replied that it was not.
Kr- Lewis then urged that the charter forbids
the transaction of any business at a stated or spe
cial meeting unless fully one-half of the stook, in
value, is represented. Be therefore moved that
when the meeting adjourn it adjourn until next
Tueeday morning.
This motion was withdrawn to enable Mr. Semi
V. Merrick to offer the following resolution!!
ef i ßeselved, That, in the opinion of this meeting,
it is of vital importance to the interests of the
stookkolders, that authority be given to the presi
dent and managers to execute and carry into offset
a oentraot with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, without unnecessary delay.
Resolved, That as the oity of Philadelphia is the
Muer at nearly Oritilm/f of the entire stook of the
company, the whole of whioh, together with at
other and municipal and private subscriptions, is
in imminent danger of eaerifice, unless the said con
tract be consummated this meeting does hereby
respectfully, but earnestly, request the Counolia of
the said city to co operate with other stockholders
in their efforts to complete the road and save their
property, by authorizing the vote of the city to be
oast without delay in favor of molt contract
Resolved, That a copy of these rearlutlens be
transmitted to the Mayor of Philadelphia, with a
request that be will communicate them to the City
Councils at the earliest practicable period, and that
this meeting do now adjourn until Tuesday after.
noon next, at four o'clock, to await the action of
that body.
Considerable dissuasion ensued upon the reso
lutions. The views of the speaker, generally were
strongly in favor of the confirmation of a contrast
of the kind proposed hat several gentleman ob
jected to any gotten, as the meeting, although full
in point of numbers, was not legal, as there war
not a majority of the stook represented. Mr.
Morehead, the president' of the company, stated
that two millions of the stook of the company wag
represented at the meeting, and he believed that

Commencement of ihe Girls'► High
School.
A BEAUTIFUL. SC,ENE.
To report the oommenoouaent of the was' Uigh
and Normal - School L always e pleasant duty.
After a slx-month of ohronioling political mettinga,
and stirring up the feelings ei mon and woman
upon holdouts of murder and burglary, and at
tending parades, and Minting tip Secessionists and
thieves—for we write these together of late—it is
extremely refreshing to find ourselves in the cheer
ful leototo room in Sergeant Street, brimming with
beauty, and bonnets, and waving fans, and flowers,
and tango.
Yesterday's commenoement was the best o f all,
for several reasons ; not that the girls were pret
tier—in that we can see no difference, year after
year; nor that the programme was better—for it
is always good ; but the flowers and flags wore ar
ranged so pleasantly, and the day was fairer ; and
above all, the reporters were provided with a
table. This latter fact might have made no dif
ferent* to the audience; but the effect was grand
with us. Had Mr. Cregar and the committee left
it to our clot* to strike out either all the musk,
or all the table, we couldn't have deeided against
either.
Prior to this time we had appropriated our knee,
or somebody's bonnet, or our own hat, to the pur
poses of a desk. Yesterday we were allowed the
luxuries of both ohair and desk, for which, as en
titled by right, we cannot reconeile it to our eon
science to thank anybody.
However, the flags used on the occasion might
have supplied a brigade. They concealed the
gaping blackboards and were festooned from the
ceiling with garlands of vine and evergreen,
making arches through which one looked upon
clusters of beautiful eyes, and teeth, and shout
dirs.
All the glrle carried bouquets, and most of times
wore ribbons of red, white, and blue.
The effect was indescribable. The sehool-room
seemed transported into the stamp, where vsvan
dt. ems alone remained to guard the colors: and
when the Star-spangled Banner was sung in oho.
rue, we could almost hear the beating of drums
for the soldiers returning.
The Rev. Mr. Christian opened the exercises
with prayer, and after the reading of the Scrip
tures by the pupils, Mr. Cregar made some re
marks explanatory of the programme
Dispensing with the announcement of individual
recitations made au agreeable feature of the day.
The exercises have less, in this way, of a conven
tional, formulary oharaoter.
The g{ Sicilian Vespers," an essay by Miss
Emma A. Naishy, was, in the main, an abstract of
the argument of the opera of the same name.
jpoem, called " It Might Have Dun," by Mary
Holloway, consisted of incidents in verse, exem
plifying the regretful lesson of the title. None of
Miss Holloway's incidents were so nicely contrived
as that simplest of all, Maud of the _Hayfield, but
they were yet obvious and clearly outlined. We
would suggest to the young ladies, as this theme
appears popular with them, to delineate the bright
sub Of Might Have Been ;" for folks hays
made escapes which were not mishaps, and all die
appointments are not to be regretted.
How would it do, for example, to pioture Mend
or her counterpart summing up life events with
thankfulness, having avoided temptations which
were only snares, and reached womanhood without
a misstep?
However, Mies Idalloway made much that was
meritorious of her side of the theme, and her
poem obtained attention and applause. We cite a
few lines :
" - Evangeline, when searching for bar lover far away.
Upon the Minimum! ; wrapped in calmest slumber
167;
And near the little island 'neath the glorious moon's
bright beam.
Walked. with Gabriel, her beloved, in the fair land of
her dream.
Whilst dreaming thus and sleeping, by the island's fur
ther side,
Swift o'er the sparkling Water, see: another ;veinal
glide :
And at the helm site Gabriel! Yet she knew not. nor
awoke.
Although netween the vessels there was scarce en
oarsman's stroke.
Oh Mum had all those after years of waiting and of
ram,
Bad yeere of desolation been spared—lit might have
been!'"
Miss Lizzie L. Thompson recited this poem In
good style.
" The Triumph of Mind over Matter," the com
position of Miss Kate T. Ryttord, contained a
number of striking sentiments, and was very well
constructed and designed. Miss Ellie Hey' read
the essay.
After a patriotic solo from Miss Mary E Parker,
wo hoard the "Tomb of Arohimedea," a composi
tion by Miss Mary M, Cross. This was one of the
best essays of the morning, industriously compiled
and well recited.
An extract from Tom Moore's " Paradise and
the Peri," was repeated by Miss Maggie 8 Gib
son in a loud, Strong voice. The length of the
extract might have hen advantageously curtailed.
Ono of the finest musical performances of the
day was a solo by Miss Thompson. The rich,
suppressed voice, sometimes swelling to half its
compass, and again subdued until " dim and mys
terions," found an able accompaniment in the ex
oellent piano, and the fine touch of the player.
The Dream of Liberty," a piece of fanciful
patriotism, introduced the Palmetto and treason,
and contained numerous pointed strictures and
passages that drew forth applause
A proper offset to the serious portions of the
programme was a dialogue, 44 The Examination
of a School Teacher." wherein five ladies took
parts. Miss Anna H. Markley personated. with
effect, the narrow-minded Deacon and Committee
man. Miss Mary Halloway appeared to under
stand the funotiona of the Teacher, and Misses
Philips, Ash, and Latta were good in their several
roles.
This piece was heard with much amusement, and
One or two of the young ladies have only to oulti
vats their -dratnalio abilities to make them of
in after lab. There was the making of
good comediennes in at least two of the per
formers.
After music by Julia Colton, we had an essay
from Misses Ella Coates and Line T Dales.
The poem, " Oar Country's Call," recital by
Eliza H. Marshall, was well received . .
The best-music emanated from Miss Elmira 0.
Ash, whose performances have made a leading
feature of previous exhibitions. To a sweetness
of voice this lady unites a distinctness which
makes the,woras of the music as unmistakable as
"The Musics of Lite," by Sate A. Peters, was
pieaiantly conceived, and oontained some excel
lent passages. In many respects it was the beat
prose poem of the day.
Assuming life to be a oborne, with each man and
woman a note in the grand refrain, the pupil fol
lowed lie? figure into all its recesses and , applioa
tons. Thus, we have these chaste paragraphs :
" Sometimes we over-estimate our power, and,
growing weary of the simple melody of our lives,
we Dray for something better,
more difficult and
more beautiful. We do not know whether our
heart-strings are able to produce the greater com
pass of notes required by the grander made, and
often madly pray for that whiob, if granted, would
break the silver °horde, and leave the heart aliat•
tered and silent.
" Common, every-day lives are those simple
songs which everybody knows • many of them,
however, powwow a sweet, soft beauty, that does
not so =oh challenge our admiration as it wins
our love."
An allusion to the memories and hopes aroused
by our national song closed this very excellent and
modest production. It was repeated by Bites D.
L Corderoy.
Misses Lint. L. Thompson—this lady's third
appearance—and Ella Reyl sang a valedictory
composition, and the diplomas were delivered to
the graduates, twenty-four in number, by Pro

Mr. Omar addressed the graduates in an !WI,
affectionate vein, and they listened to hie counsel
with evident regard. His language was as 41-
lows :
In presenting you this evidence of your !poem
ful completion of the studies of this institution,
permit me, ladies, to congratulate you on attain
mg to that position to whiok you have looked
forwar4 mitt! so much anxiety, and for which you
hays l abored with so mneh energy and perseve
rance
You hay., perhaps, looked upon this day as
the end of your toll, and the oommenoement of
that rest winch we are accustomed to look for as
the reward of labor, but in this you will be disap
pointed.
Ever since man was doomed to earn his bread by
the sweat of his brow, labor has been made the
price of everything worthy of attainment. In
whatever department of life your future 14t may
be oast, you will find new tasks for each returning
day, for the accomplishment of which the same
persevering efforts that give youyour present
proud position will be required. Apply yourselves,
then, to your new duties with the same diligence
which has charaoterised you here, and when the
school days of life are over, you shall receive that
diploma which shall entitle you to an " inheritance
with the saints in light."
Mr. Chairman and, gentlemen of the committee,
we assemble, today, under alronmstances of more
comfort and convenience than we have previously
eo3oyed on these occasions, and this we owe to
your skilful management more than to the libe
rality of those who appropriate to no the means of
eakport.
Your uniform kindness and attention to our va
rious wants have won for yen oar lasting esteem.
Yon, Mr_ Chairman, and the ether two members
of the committee, who are about to retire from the
Board of Control, take with you Into private life
our best wishes. No smoaesa that can attend you
in your various avocations can surpass_ {het wkiob
our gratitude would aeoord to you.
Hitherto dqty 4,n4 pleasareoonibined have made
you faithful vOtore of our inefitution, hut 113 the
former will cease to, gal; you Isere, we hops, in the
purruit the latter, you will oontinue your vistas,
and if you seek pleasure with the same avidity
with which you perform duty, we shall frequently
be gratified with your presence.
In response, Mr. McCann stated that the grafi-
Amnion experienced by the committee, in their
care of the school, more than compensated for the
troubles incident to its management.. He wished
it end the faenity end pupils long carted of use
fulness and honor.
