t’p firm.
Thais ia scarcely any thing doing by the pub
lishing trade in the United States. This week
we have to report from Ticknor Sc Fields a
volume containing the second series of “ The
Recreations of a Country Parson,” who is now
known to be the Rev. Mr. Boyd, an Episcopal
clergyman in Scotland. He has been writing
Essays in Fraser’s Magazine for the last three
or f ur years, and his latest production is as
fresh as his first. It is difficult for a fHll mind
to write itself out. Mr. Boyd has extensive
scholarship, accurate as well as far-seeing oh
serration, and a style which is just a little
more elevated than high-bred conversation.
A quiet humor runs, in an under-current,
through all he writes, and he has evidently
seen the world as well as read books. His
new volume is on sale at J. B. Lippincott’s.
The new volume of Irving, National edition,
(published by Putnam, and tor sale by S. Ha
sard, Jr., in this city,) contains the concluding
portion of « Mahomet and his Successors” —
it actually takes up the record from the death
ot Mahomet, in 622 to the invasion el Spain
In 710, dnring which period the Moslem faith
spread largely over Asia and Africa, and tri
umphed wherever it went. The volume Is a
valuable contribution to the History of Reli
gion.
Mr. Putnam has also republished from the
original, in pamphlet form, a letter from Henry
Lawrens, second President of the Continental
Congress, to his son, Colonel John Lawrens;
dated Charleston, S. 0., August 14,1776. It
is taken from the Collecton of the Zenger
Club, and was the initial number, privately
printed, of their historical Series. The object
of its present publication is to rebut the
Southern theory, “ that the same antagonism
that now prevails between the North on the
subject of Slavery, existed at the time of the
American Revolution,” and that, to use Mr.
Everett’s words, “It is the South which has
changed, and not the North.”
The new number of the Edinburgh Review,
which commences a volume, has been received
from Mr. Zieber, South Third street. The
best articles, where all are very readable, are
those upon Buckle’s Civilization in Spain and
Scotland, in which the author is nearly de
molished; the Literary Remains of Albert
Durer; Carthage; Richard Porson, the Greek
scholar j the Countess of Albany, the last
Stnarts, and Alfieri, and Da Chailla’s Gorilla
book. This last, in a very captious spirit,
blows hot and cold upon the book, alternately
praising Du Chaillu and carping at what it sets
j forth as discrepancy in his dates.
We lately noticed this book of Da Cbailla’s
j very tally. It has been published, with nu
merous striking illustrations, by Messrs. Har
per, of New York, (together with Dr. Davta’s
Carthage,) and a more thoroughly Interesting
book of travels and personal adventure we
have rarely met. Dr. Gray, of the British
Museum, a naturalist of some note, was the
first to challenge its accuracy, but, with what
little success may be judged from the lol
lowiDg announcement in the London Mhe

of the best songs and lyrical poems in tbe
English language, makes its appearance in thick
I creamy paper and delicate Elzevir type, and
jat the price of an ordinary school-book. In
fiction, there are Great Catches and Great
Matches, and a Family History by the author
of The Queen’s Pardon.”
Mr. Hotten, who publishes out-of-the-way
hooks, has taken up Joe Miller, (first pro
dneed in 1739, as a shilling pamphlet, and a
I copy has recently been sold as a cariosity at
I seven guineas,) and will produce an edition in
lac-simile. Here are the words of the ori-
I gtnal title-page ; “ Joe Miller’s Jests ; or,

Literature, Science, and Art.
The tradition is that Joe Miller, comedian,
was a grave man, who never jested or smiled,
off the stage, and that the tnn was to heighten
the effect of puns and jokes by attributing
them to one who never made even an original
play upon words !
The redaction of the duty on paper promises
to give a great impetus to cheap literature in
England. Three halfpenny (cent) magazines
have just been started in London, each with
wood cuts, and 8 pages, halt the siza of the
London Journal.
Among the young Irish poets, Aubrey de
y e re, brother of an Irish baronet, is considera
bly distinguished. His principal poem is
« The WaMeuaos.” Wo perceive, by a re.
view in an English paper, that he has just
published another volume, entitled " The Sis
ters, Inistail, and other Poems.” Here is a
picture of Irish famine, drawn with wonderful
fidelity:
Sudden fell
Famine, the Terror never absent long,-
TJpon onr land. It shrank—the daily dole;
Tne oa'me&l trickled from a tighter grasp;
Hanger grew wild through panto; infant eries
Madden’d at times the gentle into wrong:
Death’s gentleness more oft for death made way;
And like a lamb that openeth not iti month,
The iacrifioial People, fillet-bound,
Stood np to die. Amid inviolate herds
Thousand* the saeraments of death received,
Then waited God’s dooree These thinge are known:
Btrangetß have witness’d to thorn; strangers writ
The epitaph again and yet again.
The nettles and the weedß by the way side
Men ate: from sharpening features and sank eyes
ilnnger glared forth, a wolf more loam eaoh hour;
Children seem’d pigmies shrirell’d to sadden ege;
And the deserted bebe too weßk to wail
Bat shook if hands, pitying or onrions, raised
The rag across him thrown. In England alms
From many a private hearth wore largely sent,
A* ofttimes they have been. ’Xwasvain. The land
Wept while her sons sank back into her graves
Like drowners ’mid still seas. Who oonld escaped:
And on a ghost-throng’d desk, amid snoh ories
As from the battle field aaoend at night
When stumbling widows grope o’er heaps of slain,
Amid snoh eries stood Mary, whan the ship
In sable slipp’d and, on ihe populous quays
Orating, without a wind, on tne slow tide,
Dropp’d downward to the main.
And here, to contrast the poetry of the
East with that of the West, is an almost literal
translation, by Win. 0. Wells, of a Turkish
poem which occurs in a Turkish romance:
And, Io! a maiden of heavenly face.
From head to foot fall of graoe;
Tall ot stature, light was she.
Like unto the oypress tree.
In every age hath woman boon
Cause of madness and of spleen.
Be aeon. 0 soon, was Hassan seen
Prostrate ’fore this winning qnean.
The torrent of love where daehea he ?
Bo sweeps o’er the walls of phllosophis,
The bulwark ot sense must down needs be,
For in are rushing the waves of lore’s sea.
There has lately been published at Prague,
in Bohemia, the Autobiography of Dr. J. F.
Oastelli, who has lived all his life at Vienna,
and has been writing for the stage ail bis life.
This’memoir conies down to the year 1881.
We learn of him that the number of his
dramatic works amounts to a hundred and
ninety .nine; tor some years he was the poet
of the Kamther-Thor Theatre ; he knew all
the singers and some of the composers of the
Austrian capital; he remembers a character
who figured importantly in the life of Mozart,
and the first performance of (be ‘‘Zauber
fiote.” He knew Sonntag, and .Weigl, the
composer of a popular German opera, « The
Swiss Family,” of' which he wrote the
libretto; Zacharias "Werner, the dramatist;
and Theodor Earner, the patriotic poet.
He collected more than 200 songs, 1,800
snuff-boxes, a mass of books of plays, por-
traits of actresses, autographs of actresses,
and all the play.bills ot Vienna since the
year 1600. On one occasion, he was re
fused permission to print a song of bis own,
which another wag allowed to pirate. At the
time of the French invasion ol Austria, a pa
triotic song was the cause ot Dr. Oastelll’a
proscription. He applied to the Emperor of
Austria for help, but the Emperor, on hearing
that he had written a war-song, asked who had
told him to do so. Dr. Oaatelll mentions that
the production of Schiller’s ‘ Don Carles’ was
loDg forbidden, because Don Carlos loved his
stepmother; in ‘ The Robbers,’ thi ; Father
was turned into an uncle, and a stupendous
effect was produced by the cry of “ Uncle-
cide,” substituted for Parricide, A oomposer
wrote a sonata to the manes of Hummel, but
there was a law of the censorship that no De-
dication might be printed without the-permis
sion of the person to whom it was offered.
Accordingly the Censor asked the composer
to produce the permission of the manes ot
Hummel.
Sir Benjamin Brodle, the eminent surgeon,
having been compelled, by ill health, to resign
the Presidency of the Royal Society of Eng
land, two persons are named as likely to di-
vide the votes of the members. One is Lord
Brougham, the other Major General Sabine.
Brongham, now almost eighty-three years old,
(he was born in Edinburgh, on the 19th Sep-
temper, 1778,) wrote an Essay on the Inflec
tion and Reflection of Light, when he was
only, seventeen, which he forwarded to the
Royal Society. It was published in their
transactions in 1796, with a continuation in
1797, and a paper on Porisms in 1798. Gene
ral Sabine is now seventy-one yeara old, ha-
ving been bom in 1790. His Essays on the Pen-
dulum, published in 1825, gave him a high re
putation as a man of science. Although an artil
lery officer, he took part in the Arctio voyages
of 1819 and 1820, under Parry and Ross, and
his magnetic observations daring that voyage
gave the first great impulse to the systematic
study of the phenomena of terrestrial magnet-
ism. From 1827 to 1830, he was Secretary of
the Royal Society. He has been 23 years a
member of the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, 21 years one of its Se
cretaries, and 8 years its General Secretary,
filling the office ef President in 1853. He has
been Treasurer of the Royal Society since
1850, and Vice President. He is author of
thirty-tour memoirs, published in the “ Philo-
sophical Transactions.” No donbt Lord
Brougham stands high as a statesman, legisla-
tor, judge, man of letters, and man of science,
bnt at his advanced age, he cannot devote the
time and labor to the Presidency of the Royal
Society—the highest office, though unpaid,
Science can bestow upon any of her sons in
England. It is probable that General Sabine,
who has latterly been locum tenens for Sir j
Benjamin Brodie, will be, elected.
Among the Presidents of the Royal Society,
founded in 1660, may be named Sir Christo
pher Wren, 1680 ; Samudi Pepys, the Diarist,
1684; Lord Somers, one of Macaulay’s heroes,
’1698; Sir Isaac Newton, 1703; Sir Hans
Sloane, 1727; Sir Joseph Banks, 1778; Dr,
W. H. Wollaston, 1820; Sir Humphrey Davy,
1820; Davies Gilbert, 1827; Duke of Shssex,
1830; Marquis of Northampton, 1838; Earl
of Roßse, of the great telescope, 1848; Lord
Wrottlesley, 1864; and now Sir Benjamin
Brodie.
The following anecdote, which we take from j
The Critic, is remarkably curious—if true. It I
purports to nave been sent by a correspondent; I
« Mr. Sims Reeves was announced to appear
at the concert in Scarborough, on Friday,
but in consequence of a relaxed throat he was
nnable to appear. Mrs. Howard Paul, who
happened to be In the town on a visit, was in
duced by the local entrepreneur to impersonate
the eminent tenor, wMchshe did with so much
skill, singing Ms songs with such exactitude of
voice and expression, that, conpled with her
extraordinary ’ make up,’ many of the audience
were not aware of the substitution. This was
said to be one of the best musical « sells’ that
ever occurred in Scarborough, where, by-the
by, Mr. Reeves has never yet sung.”
As many of onr readers know, there is a
mania, among some people, for collecting
violins by eminent makers. At a recent sale
of musical Instruments, in London, among the
prices realized were £Bl for a Stradivarius,
£4B for another violin by the same maker,
£B4 for an Amati violin (formerly the pro
perty of Sir W Curtis). The violoncelli
fetched lower prices; an instrument attri
buted to Joseph Guamerius brought £5O;
another, by Stradivarius, was secured by
Signor Piatti for £4O.
It has been discovered, by comparison of
various paintings, that many portraits called
Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) do, in
reality, represent Mary of Gnise, her mother.
Such is the casewith the portrait of Mary,
in white mourning dress, at Hampton Court,
which belonged to King Charles the First,
and is mentioned in the catalogue of Ms
pictures. A valuable, but much ruined, por
trait of Mary Stuart has been found in the col
lection ot Col. Mejrick. It is painted m oil,
nearly lilo-size, and corresponds exactly with
the small miniature in the collection of Queen
Victoria, which represents her, at an. early
period of life, placing a ring on one of her
fingers.
There has just been added to the National
Portrait Gallery of England a very spirited
terra-cotta bust of Oliver Cromwell. It bears
the impress of being a study direct from na
ture, and evidently served as the original mo
del for the marble bust which Mr. Labonchere,
now Lord Tannton, contributed to the Man
chester Exhibition. The marble bears the
nairifl of Edward Pierce, a leading sculptor of
the Seventeenth century, who executed public
statues for the city of London, and. whose
busts of Sir Christopher Wren and Sir Isaac
Newton, at Oxford, rival the most successful
efforts of Roubiliac at a subsequent period.
This portrait of Cromwell corresponds with
the known miniatures by Cooper, with Lely’s
portrait at Florence, Lord Spencer’s Walker,
and the fine drawing, life size, at Sidney Sus
sex College, Cambridge. But it seems to
have been done at an earlier period than any
of tbem. In the terra-cotta bust there is a
comparative profusion of hair on the head,
and even the second wart on his face is lost
in the fullness of the moustache. In all the
paintings above mentioned the hair is very
thin, and an isolated lock is observable in the
centre on the forehead. The fall hair and
starting eyes give a peculiarly lion-like cha
racter te the countenance.
There is a posthumous oast of Cromwell,
taken a few honTS after bis death, which WaB
exhibited at Edinburgb in 18S0, where we saw
it. The mould actually contains three or four
stiff gray hairs, from the grisly and shaggy
eyebrows, which adhered whon the plaster of
Pariß was taken off. We do not recollect the
name of the owner of this cnrions and valua
ble cast, which, by the way, was only a mask
of the anterior portion of the head. The tea
tores were strong, marked, and massive.
Thohas J. Armstroko —King & Baird have
published a pamphlet containing a report of the
trial of Thomas J. Armstrong, the murderer, with
an account of his execution and bis pretended
“ Confession,” in which ho aggravated his crime
by attempting to throw Ita commission upon two
innocent persons. He who was prayed for, as
” this dear young man,” went ont of life with a lie
upon his Ups. Those whs are ontions in sueh mat
ters will avail themselves of this opportunity of ob
taining a full and authentlo record of Armstrong’s
file and death.
From Atlantic City-
UmTED StATSB HOTBI,
Atlantic Citt, August 12,1861.
However watering places in general may
this season be languishing for lack of custom,
Atlantic City is literally alive with visitors,
some from Washington, afewfrom New York,
a goodly number from Western and Central
Pennsylvania, bnt the mass are Phila
delphians. Last Saturday carried the sea
son to the noonday of its prosperity, and on
that evening I presume, after the arrival of the
last train, there remained few unengaged
sleeping apartments on the Island, the princi
pal hotels being filled even to tbe full extent
of their ground floor parlors. The day was
one among a thousand for the trip. The
heavy rain of Friday night completely neutra
lized the dust, and the locomotive of onr
train maintained an exemplary freedom from
cinders, which, with a veiled sun and fine
breeze, made our journey hitherward unusu
ally pleasant,.
This hotel on Saturday evening presented
a gay and joyons Scene. At the nsnal hour
for opening the “ hop” (a phrase made
execrable by its association with the pedal
movements of a toad), gentlemen with their
wives and daughters formed a very pictu
resque and animated border around the spa
cions dining saloon, leaving an open area in
the centre for dancing. Several distinguished
persons were present, among whom I observed
Sehor Lisboa, the Brazilian Minister, with
Ms interesting family. His Excellency Go
vernor Curtin, with his family, is also sojourn
ing here, entering into the enjoyments of the
place with a genuine republican simplicity.
By the way, I suspect that this hotel has
carried off the palm, tMs season, In the way
of attracting celebrities. In glancing over the
register I find, among others now here, the
I names of judges, statesmen, army and naval
officers, men professionally noted, and emi
nent civilians. Among the first named are
Judges Thompson, Cadwalader, Hampton,
Hepburn, Knox, and Casey, all of Pennsylva
nia, moßt of them with their families. Among
the war officials I may mention the names ol
Major Zeilin, of the United Btates Marine
Corps, who was in the battle ot Bull Rnn, and
still carries his left arm in a sling from a Minie
ball wound there received; Major Lamed,
paymaster in the U. S. army -, Col. Frank
Patterßon; Col. Wm. Lewis; Col. P. C. Ell
maker and family; Col. Morehead and fami
ly ; Captain Robert, and the family of Capt.
David McKibbin, recently returned from
Washington Territory ; Hons. Henry D. Fos
ter, A. K. McClure, and Alfred Gillmore of
I this State, are also here; so are Sheriff Kern
and family; St. George Tucker Campbell;
Hon. Charles Ingersoll; Dr. McClellan, bro-
I ther of the General; the Wisters of Ger-
I mantown, one ot the most prominent fami-
I lies in Pennsylvania; John Brodhead, prest-
I dent of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad,
I and wife; and Mr. McTavish and wile; the
I latter, as I stated in a former letter, is a dangh-
I ter of General Scott. She is a most eatima-
I ble lady, and is reputed to be the best bather,
I of her sex, on the island, and is a bold, inde-
I pendent, vigorous swimmer.
I M. Mercier, the French minister, is expect-
I ed to arrive to-morrow, and the English and
I Spanish ministers have engaged rooms for
I themselves and families, and will be bere
I abont the 15th of the month. Of course, Mr.
I McKibbin and Ms active office assistants,
I Messrs. Shaw and Robinson, are sparing no
I paras in making everybody feel at home; and
I In thiß respect it is but just to add that the
I hotel proprietors here generally are doing all
I in their power to rival each other in attending
I to the comfort of visitors.
Religious services were held yesterday, and
largely attended, in all the churches; in addi
tion to which there was preaching at 10$ A.
M. in our hotel by Eev. Dr. Wilmer, rector of
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Locust street,
above Sixteenth. At the appointed hour the
large ladies’ parlor, in which the services were
held, assumed quite a chapeMike appearance.
The room and the adjoining hall were closely
filled with a congregation intelligent and atten
tive, and, judging trom the very general re
sponses during the service, one largely com
posed, if not of those in communion with the
Episcopal Church, at least oi persons familiar
with its beautiiul and impressive ritual. The
music, for an im pro vised choir, was remarkably
good, as it could not well help being, with Mr.
Eedner, the accomplished organist of St.
Andrew’s Church, presiding at the piano, as
sisted, as he was, by such excellent vocalists
as Messrs. Coffin and Wells, of yonr city.
The subject selected by Dr. Wilmer was,
<< Wisdom is justified oi her children.” Al
though accustomed to reading his sermens in- j
variably In the pnlpit, his discourse yesterday
morning was entirely extempore, it not im
promptu, and the quiet, appropriate, conver
sational style in which it was delivered pleased
everybody. Nor was the subject-matter un
worthy the reputation of its author. I have
made a brief abstract of it for publication.
The sky this morning is leaden and lower
ing ; still, there are indications in the mercury
that when the clouds break away the weather
Will be warm. There are many merchants
here, who, from the inactivity of trade at
home, I find are disposed to protract their |
sommer absence from it. These men have |
been braviDg a fearful financial storm for |
months, and have not yet successfully outrode
it. Some, perhaps, never will. Notwith
standing this, to their credit be it spoken,
their visages are not elongated by the sacri
fices which have been forced upon them by
Southen rebels; on- the contrary, several of
them have remarked to me that the mainte
nance 0/ the Government is their chief concern,
and that their means, “to the bottom dollar,”
are at the service of their country. I believe
thiß to be the general sentiment of the mer.
chants of Philadelphia, and it is at once a flat
denial of the Southern slander, that “ North
ern merchants are mere mercenaries,” and a
noble vindication of their patriotism. All
honor to these men who are supplying the
sinews of war in the lace of bankruptcy and
financial ruin! Gratbeard.

rokee Nation, they were set at liberty. He made
tie threat to the prisoners that he would bum
Humboldt and Osage Mission in loss than a week.
The band also took some forty horses from the set.
tiers om Lightning eraek. The band is well armed
with rifles and revolvers, and their only object
appears to be plunder.
Matthews Is a bankrupt trader. Some time
sinoe he borrowed money from an old man, named
Sage, then living on the Neutial Lands, and to pay
Sage for his money, robbed him of thirty head ef
horses, and drove him off.
Matthews’ first lieutenant is a man by the name
of Samuel Patton, who murdered a man in Ar
kansas last fall, and made his esoape. A reward
of five hundred dollars was offered for bis attest,
and bo was oaught. Subsequently he broke jail,
and oame to Kansas, and ia now first lieutenant of
Matthews’ gang oi out throats and thieves.
Matthews endeavored to get the Osage Indians
to join his band, but through the iufinenoe of
Father Suoemaker, a Gatholio priest, stationed at
the Mission, the Osages refused to have anything
to do with him.
Mr. Spenoer oalled on Governor Robinson, to
ascertain if ha oonld not do something to pro toot
tho settlers Horn Matthews and his gang. The
Governor sent him over to Captain Frinoe, as he
had not the power or authority to send troops to
thoir assistance.
The people along the border of the Neutral Lands
feel very mueh alarmed, and fear an attaok from
this roving band of desperadoes. If they had arms
to defend themselves they would feel more seeure.
The State has neither arms nor ammunition to sup
ply them with. Gov. Robinson has repsatedly
urged upon the War Department the neasßsity of
furnishing our people with arms; yet no favorable
answer has ever been reoeived. We trust the Go
vernmont will soon begin to understand our ex
posed situation, and either give us the means for
self-proteotion, or allow the Kansas regiments now
in Missouri to be stationed on the irontier, for
home defenoo.
Thu Board of Engineers, which has been in
session in the chief engineer’s rooms at the Brook
lyn navy yard, adjourned on Saturday sine die,
and sent on to the Navy Department a list of the
§en, lemon who were examined and passed by it.
'or over eight weeks the board continued Bitting,
and during that time its labors have almoßt revo
lutionised the oorps of engineers, as regards num
bers and rank, la 1860 there were 174 engineers
in the navy, of whom 23 were chiefs, 43 were first
assistants, 29 ware second assistants, and 92 were
third assistants. We should not wonder if there
were double this number in Govornmeut pay now.
The names of tho greater portion of the gentlemen
passed in Brooklyn rocontly have already been
printed.
Whisht is no longer considered contraband.
Five thousand barrols have been permitted to

Secretaries Chase and Smith in New
Secretaries Ohase and Smith paid & visit to tfce
Chamber of Commerce of Hew York on Monday
afternoon. Mr. Ogden welcomed Secretary Chase
In a neat speeoh, and was replied to In the follow
ing manner:
MBPOHBS or 81CSSTABT CBABB
Allow me to express to yon, and thrtu<h yon to
this distinguished body of Hew York merchants,
my profound gratitude for the kind and generous
greeting yon have extended to me; bnt, boss- I
sured, Mr. President and gentlemen, that the gra
titude wbioh I feel on this oooasion bears no pro
portion to tbai wbioh I fool in view of the assurance
whioh you have given,'that in the present crisis of I
the country we know, and are to know, no parties |
—rapplause J —that the whole energies of the conn I
try are to be pot forth in the maintenance of the I
cause of Union, of nationality, and of the perma
nent interests and honor of tho entire peop’e.
f Applause J Iu contributing to that result no Go
vernment oan be successful without the cordial,
earnest, constant co-operation of the merchants of
tho oountry, and whon we speak of tho meiohants
of the United States (never I trust to be perma- I
ecntly disunited) we always speak first of tha
merchants of New York You ara aware, gentle
mon, aud Mr President, that my mission In this
oity is in no sense a political one I have come to
ascertain whether here—in this great llnasoial and
oommeroial centra—whether here, to wbioh we are I
accustomed to look from all over the country j
when we desire to ascertain what ara theresources j
and abilities of the oountry for any enterprise;
whether, here, Government may expeot to be sus
tained by the merchants, by tho banking interests,
by aft classes and oooupations in New York, in this
great strnggle. and I am glad to feel that the die
position exists here to sustain the Government,
and if that disposition be evinced in acts, as I trust
it will be, then I have no doubt both of the suo
ceseful administration of tho financial affairs of the
Government, and, what is a neoessary conse
quence, the success, the complete snooass, of the
great work wbioh the Government has undertaken
—the restoration of tho Amerioan Union; and,
with the Amerioan Union, Amerioan prosperity,
and equal constitutional rights in all the States. to
ail oitiisns. [Applause J Yon will pardon me,
sir, for not trespassing inrther upon the valaable
time of the merohanta of Naw York, bnt allow me
torenew, on my own account, and on bshaif of the
Administration I represent, my cordial thanks for
this greeting, and tha assurances with which it is
accompanied.
The ohalrman then, la fclioitous terms, wel
comed the honorable Seoretary of the Interior.
SPEECH Or SICEBTAEr I BITS.
Mb Chairitaw and Suiuinii or vhh Chax
bbb or Cojmbrcb : I am somewhat surprised al
being called upon to address you, aa I did not ooma
with any intention of representing the Govern
ment. The financial affaire of the Government
have been plaaed in the obarga of my distinguished
friend and oolloagne. My visit waa specially with
a view to listen to ihe expressions oi the sympathy
by the citissns of New York in this great oriel* in
whioh we are involved. The administration of the
department of the Government with whioh I am
conneotedi does not require on my part any parti
cipation in the financial arrangements whioh are
neoesaary to oarry on the Government, but, aa one
of the oounaelloro and advisers of the Administra
tion, I oon only add my earnest wish that the ex
pectations of the SeerctaTy of the Treasury, from |
the patriotic oilmens of New York, will not be dis
appointed; that yon will not be backward in this
! great crisis in eoming forward to the aid of tl.«
Government. The Government If hat the repre
sentative ot the people The Government huß no
interest in this struggle which is not shared alike
by every oitlien in this ooumunity—in this wide
extended Republic. The rebellion, whioh as
sumed such insignificant proportions when it first
manifested itself, has now assumed suoh gigantic
proportions as require the whole energies and
power of tho Government to suppress it, and re
store order and the supremacy of the laws. In a
representative Government like onrs, nothing ean
be accomplished without the oo operation of the
people. When the oo operation of the people is
seonred against thiß rebellion, the rebels will be
powerless This rebellion cannot be crashed, pros
perity oannot be restored, oonfideooo oaanot be re
posed, nnless the people shall oome forward and
tarnish the Government with the means necessary
to put down rebellion, and restore the Union. This,
I have no donbt, can bo easily accomplished, with
the oo operation of the country—especially if the
peoole of the great Empire State and of the city
of New York are willing to make small saorifloei,
it oan be easily aooomplished, and oonfidexoe and
peace be again restored to Ihe land If yon are
willing to make a present saorifico—should a sac
rifice be required to restore peace and permanent
prosperity to the country—l have, gentlemen, the
fullest oonfllenoe that oar Government will be
■acatsrfal. I have the fullest confidence that the
patriotism of the people of this country who are
loyal to the Union will manifest itself in each a
manner as will enable the Government to suppress
this rebellion, and restore union and harmony In
every State of this Union, f Applause J
I am satitfied that, in every one of these States
—nnless it be South Carolina alone—there is a
majority of the people who earnestly desire to see
a restoration of the power of the federal Govern
ment. They have been deceived. The; have
been deluded. They have been taught to believe,
by demagogues who nave misrepresented the Go
vernment, that those who administer the Govern
ment are hostile to the peonliar rights of those
States. The Administration has no other object
in view than to restore the Union, enforce the
laws in every State in the’Union, and seenre justice
and equal rights to all Iu order to do tnis, it
must be furnished with the means whioh are ne
cessary to restore the power of the Government.
Let us rally around the standard of cur country,
and viotory shall attend our arms. I know that
the publio mind suffers depression on aocount of
the reoent repulse in Virginia,’ bat I tiase that
soon, by oonfidenoe in the Government, and the
power of the people who have enlisted in its be
half, oonfidenoe will be restored, and the power of
the Government vindicated [Applause ]
The various members ef the Chamber were then
personally introduced to the Secretaries, and halt
aa hour wag spent in sooial intercourse. The mem
bers expressed the most lively admiration for the
repnblioan frankness and geniality of both the dis
tinguished members of the Cabinet.
It is expeeted that Secretary Chase will finish
his business with the New York bankers so as to
leave for Washington to day.
