Sketch of General Hitchcock.
Gen. Ethan Allen Hitehoook is the son of Judge
:Samuel 'Hitchcock, of Burlington, Vermont, and
who was considered one of the ablest and moat ac
•complished men that State ever produced, and his
-mother was the daughter of Ethan Allen. Judge
Henry Hitchcock, of Mobile, and the scholar,
i Samuel Hitchcock, of Vermont, were brothers of the
General, who was also a native of Vermont, from
which State he was appointed as a cadet to
- the Military Academy at West Point in the
.year 1814. He graduated in 1817, and was
on the 17th of July appointed a third lieu
tenant in the corps el artillery. On the 13th
of the following February he was promoted to the
•second lieutenancy of the Eighth infantry, and on
the 31st of October, in the same year, he was fur
ther promoted to be a first lieutenant. He was ap
pointed the regimental adjutant from 1819 to 1821.
.and during the reorganization of the army, on the
r Ist of June, 1821, he was retained, with the rank of
drat lieutenant, but was transferred to the First in
fantry. At the end of 1824 he was promoted to a
-captaincy, He was the Assistant Instructor of In
fantry Tactics at the Military Academy from the
Ist of February, 1824, to the 20th of April,
1827. He was afterwards chosen the chief instruc
tor in the same branch of the service, and 1941
made the commandant of the cadets in the Mili
tary Acadetuy from March 13,1829, to June 24,
1833. He was promoted to be a major in the
Eighth Infantry on the 7th of Jdly , 1838, and on
the 31st of January, 1842, he was further promoted
to a lieutenant coloneloy, and transferred to the
Regiment of Infantry. Ile was colonel of the
.econd Regiment United States Infantry at Corpus
Christi, under General Taylor, and just previous to
the first movement on the Nueces Col. Hitchcock
was prostrated by a cruel sickness, and when able to
be carried was removed to St. Louis, where he re
mained six mouths, stretched upon a sick bed, and
thus he lost the opportunity to participate in the
glorious campaign of General Taylor. When
General Scott was ordered to Mexico, Colonel
Hitchcock found himself partially restored to
health - at Vera Cruz, and his regiment reduced to
fifty men. General Scott appointed him to be In
spector General of the army, and thenceforth, from
ea Cruz to the city of Mexico, the genius and
ALill of Colonel Hitchcock were in constant regal-
Alfieri.
It was during this time that he was breveted
colonel for gallant and meritorious conduct in the
Toattles of Contreras and Churubusco. his brevet be
ing awarded in March, IS4S, and dating from Au
.gust 20, 1847. He was further breveted as briga
dier general for gallant conduct at Et Moline del
Ray, dating from September 8, 1847, this brevet
being awarded in March, 1851. On the 15th of
April, 1857, he was made a full oolnel of the
Second infantry, which rank he held during the
greater part of the Pierce sidthinistration. On the
ISth of thatcher, 1855, he resigned his position in
the army, under circumstances of a very peculiar
nature. It appears that General Hitchcock had
received leave of absence from General Scott,
the then Commander-in-Chief of the United States
rtny, which Jeff Davis, then Secretary of War,
refused to confirm, and ordered the subject of this
aketch back again to his post. This action of Jeff
iDavis led to a controversy between General Scott
and the Secretary of War, Scott contending that as
Commander-in-Chief he had the right to grant the
aforesaid leave of absence. This Jeff Davis denied,
in his usual overbearing manner, and, doubtless, re
narks were therein made by him Insulting to Gene
ral Hitchcock. Eafftee it to say, that in consequence
of this matter General Hitchcock resigned, and du
ring the interval between his resignation and the
breaking ont of the rebellion he has been living in.
.s retired manner in St. Louis, he being possessed of
an independent fortune.

The principal, in concluding his valuable report, makes
the following suggestion i " . .
... .
. .. .
. .
It is exceedingly desirable, in my opinion, that an
effort should be made to confdrm the only two kinds of
letter used in this country to one system. This could be
done by sintply combining the Boston. modified lower-case
• error with ttie Roman capitals of the tress of thia . Insti
tution and of Glasgow. By adopting the capitals as they
are universally used in print for the seeing, it would no t
only teach the blind pupil their proper use, but would at
.the same time familiarise him to both kinds of letter."

PHILADELPHIA, February 13,1862.
The stock market was very active toolay, with free
offerings of securities at the adyanced rates, which led
to tome felling off during the day. City sixes opened at
96, and fell off to 95% for the new issue, but the old issue
rose from 89%, the closing price of yesterday, to 99%.
Pennsylvania Railroad shares sold at 41, and Reading
Railroad shared at 2oyi, closing at 20,8/,
The money market is unchanged. Strictly first-class
paper is in demand at bank rates. Business men find
more inducement to operate for the future, as the de
velopment of the financial policy of the Government, and
the unfolding of its military plans strengthen their )30-

Mr. Walton, the Assistant Treasurer of the United

holders of coupons coming due on the 19th inst. to pre

The Hestonville, Mantua, and Fairmount Passenger
Railway Company are paying the interest on their
coupon bonds, in accordance with the agreement entered
jpte between the company and the bondholders l and in
pursuance of the order of court based thereon. Under
this arrangement, the bondholders receive three and a
half per cent. interest for the year 1861. The Company
expect, in a short time, to be able to pay in full the
me
coupons falling due in 1862.
By an advertisement in another column, it will be seen
that the public are cautioned against negotiating any of
the second issue of bonds of the Hestonvillo, Mantua and
Fairmount Railway Company, known as the second
mortgage bonds of that company, which aro alleged to
have been fraudulently issued.
The "Lim York I'e44 of this evening SaYS
The Stock market is extremely dull to-day, the activity
following the announcement of the victories in North
Carolina and Tennessee having entirely subsided. Prices,
however, are about sustained, though at the close we
notice a tendency to weakness, stocks being supplied
at the quotatione of the printed list. The commission
houses report few orders for the speculative railroad
stocks, hot for railroad bonds and the Southern State
stocks there is a steady demand, at advancing prime.
Governments are steady. The feature of this depart
ment of the list is the irregularity In the .quotation for
registered and coupon Sixes of 1881. For a long time
back the coupons ruled % ge% per cent. higher than the
registered, while now the price of registered stands %ei
% per cent. better. This may he accounted for by the
Baal of banks who have 1 ecently received HOW of the
coupon stock from Washington. It is supposed that
some of the Boston banks are selling. The registered
arc 003,;4r,00m ; the coupons, 89%089%.
There is an improvement in the 7.30 treasury notes,
with tales at 98%. There are few floating about Wall
street, and desirable lots would command very near 99.
After the board the bales were very small. Now
York Central 80% erBOK ; Erie 81% a 534%; Missouris
42% cr,42%.
Hudson River is neglected, selling down to 38.
The securities of the Milwaukee and Prairie Du Chien
Company remain quiet at former prices. Most of the
sales aro of broken lots at 20 for the common, 75 for the
first preferred, and 52 for the second preferred.
Gold is without special change, 104%, which ie scarcely
BO firm as yeeterday. Arl the brokers buy fiecly at
104%, and sell at 104% cash, and 104% on buyers'
option. -
Exchange on London is %co% 14 70 cent. higher for the
Saturday steamer, all the leading drawers having ad

but t h e supply of bills is equally so. Francs are quoted
491%.
It iedillieult to ascertain what amount of specie is up
for the Saturday steamers, as it does not pass through
the hands of the bullion brokers, but is shipped direct
from the vaults of the banks ' where it remains on special
deppsit. Considerable will depend upon the arrival of
bars by the California steamer, which is now fully due.
Money is becoming very dull again, and at

the large houses find much difficulty in keeping their
balances employed. We hear of some business at 505%

There is nothing new at the Sub-Treasury. The de

tolerably well, but the deposits are not so large as on Sa

Rev. Dr. Seise at Concert Rail last Evening.
The lecture of Rev. Joseph A. Seise, D. D., at Concert •
Hall, last evening, on . St. Paul and Martin Luther,"
was ft decided success. Dr. Wes is the pastor of St.
John's Lutheran Church, Race street, above Fifth, and
is a great favorite, not only with the people of his own
charge, but with the entire Lutheran denomination, aid
the public in general. The audience was large—unusu
ally so for a Philadelphian, lecturing in his own city—
and in all respects complimentary to the lecturer, who
was introduced by the Bev. Lusher E. Albert, pastor of
Trinity Lutheran Church, Germantown. The Ger.
maidens were on the platform, and fur some twenty
minutes before the lecture commenced, entertained the
audience with excellent music. Dr. Seise entered the
platform, accompanied by a number of clergymen of his
denomination, and t Mom of Lutheran Board of Publica
tion, in behalf of which the lecture was given.
Dr. Seiss was, he said in opening, to speak of Moral
Greatness,"not as an abstract quality, but as embodied
in individuals. He presumed that his hearers had all
read of the achievements of an Alexander, a Ciesar, a
Charlemagne, a Columbus, and a Napoleon. These men
had been styled the colossal figures of history. But in
termingled with these there was another class of men,
no less great, among whom were the two names which
were to constitute his theme. These, in short, were the
Alexanders and Charlemagnes, the Camara and Napo
leons Of the Cream
He would speak first of the Apoetle to the Ciititiles.
The latter had come upon the stage where two ages met.
Christianity had just received its inauguration by the
descent of the Comforter. The associations in which we
first found Paul's name were not such as might be ex
pected front his future...mission, having been first pre
sented to our notice as an approving witness of a foul
murder, the martyrdom of Stephen, the incidents of
which were brisfly referred to. But, oven amid these
unpropitious associations, there was something peculiar
in Paul's manner. He was not mad and boisterous, as
were the rest, but silent, standing aside, and thoughtful ;
and so marked had been his course, that he at once took
rank among the moat remarkable men of his age. The
place of hie birth, and youthful hietory—so far as we
have it in the Scriptures—were next introduced. He
had been furnished by nature with endowment to be
one of the great characters of the earth. His bitter hos
tility to the early followers of Christ was a singular but
evidently God Alecreed background to his future faithful
ness and zeal in their behalf.
The far-distant and peculiarly interesting history of
Damascus, with its many biblical associations, was next
eloquently presented, carrying.„it down even to our own
time. This was done in order to render more graphic.
and effective the circumstances attending Paul's conver-
Men when he ass about entering that city. Hardly a
week had elapsed after the conversion before the mes
senger of persecution had become the champion and
herald of peace. A series of reflections were here in
dulged in by the lecturer, upon the relations which the
occro and inner experience of men who are eelected for
revolutionary work, sustained to their active life, as
deduced from the history of Abraham, Moses, and
others.
The natural fitness of Paul for his extraordinary
mission was finely sketched. Having been born between
the Bast and the West, he moused all. the ardent fire of
the one and the cool, coneecutive - penetration of the
other. So, too, he had been master of the two great lan
guages of his age. lie had been a man of great self
possession. Not even had the stroke front Heaven thrown
him off his balance. Stunned and blind, he was not so
disconcerted that he was not able and ready at that mo
ment to enter into negotiation with. the God of Heaven,
face to face
It had been a question with the lecturer whether there
could be any such thing as real greatness which had not.
its root and foundations in the invisible weed—that did
not draw ice inspiration from faith in the unseen.
At this point-the lecturer pronounced one of the grand
est tribUtell to empower of Fain, partly original, partly
borrowed.
The practical tact of St. Paul—his power of adapting
himself to circumstances—was next dwelt upon. Ano
ther prominent element in his character had been his int
morabte endurance. In order to got a clearer view of
this sublime characteristic of his subject the lecturer read
tharremarkable confession of the Apostle, beginning,
"Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes, save one,"
de., none of which things moved him, neither counted he
his life dear to himself
But Paul was not all iron and rock. He had possessed
a fehder, gentle, womanly heart. He could weep, and
had told us of his tears. And a Paul, with no capacity
for tears, with all his greatness in other respects, said the
lecturer, could never have "turned the world upside
down."
Still another point of Paul's greatness was his weak
nen, "When I SW Weak, then am I strong," was his own
language. One of his weaknesses, perhaps, had been his
long slavery to the Jewish traditions. But it was more
a physical weakness of which the apostle spake. His
own statement was, that his" bodily presence was weak;"
his strength lay in his constant and uniform dependence
upon the Holy Ghost. Then there was " the thorn in
the flesh," from which he knife - red, whatever that was.
His "speech," also, had been "contemptible." Elo
quent, in the ordinary sense of the term, Paul had not
been, and yet these weaknesses had been an element of
his strength, which the lecturer proceeded to explain.
The power and efficacy of Paul's preaching, in causing
the gods end goddeesee of Greece and Rome to reel hi
their heaven and topple to their final fall,rwas depicted
by the lecturer in masterly rhetoric. So lie followed
the great Apostle to his martyr death upon a block, at
Borne, and then, with a few dashing touches, he limned
the grand results of Paul's preaching during the fifty
generations which had come and gone since his dem.
tore from the earth.
But Saul of Tarsus was not the only one that stood
'out like a mountain peak among the nations. On St.
Martin's eve, in 1483 d year of the Christian era, had been
born Martin Luther, of humble parents. Like Paul,
this miner's son had not been born at a Mace without
note. Like Paul, too, lie had made many friends in his
youth by the vigor of his mind and the correctness of his_
conduct. Nor were the facts attending his conversion
and entrance upon the great purpose of his life dissimilar
to those related of Paul on his way to Damascus.
This parallel was enlarged upon at length, this speaker
adding that, after Christ, Paul and Luther had been the
two greatest men the world had ever produced In the
course of this comparison the incident in Luther's youth
was referred to of his young comrade having been struck
down at his side by a thunderbolt, and contrasted with
the light which shone about Paul on his way to Damag
e= In 'both canes these extraordinary vieludionsi had
been the turning point in their purposes of life. What
the deserts of Arabia had been to Paul, after his con
version,the convent had been to Martin Luther.
A general state of Christianity, as it existed at that
day. was next portrayed by the lecturer.
The world at that period, he said, had been gradually
ripening for a great revival. The nations of the earth
were just awaking from their slumber of ages, and a new
era was ready to break upon the world; a great revolu
tion had come, and this smelter's son had been the man
selected by God to bring it to the birth. The progress of
Luther's eventful career was closely followed, and come
mented upon.
The qualities which Luther brought to his work were,
he said, strikingly like those of Saul of Tarsus. He was
a man of as great learning, and of as much invincibility
of will, though of a more genial dietmeition. Like Paul,
when he was weak, then was he strong—he leaned for
strength upon the arm of God Carlyle's high eulogium
upon Luther was quoted at length by the lecturer.
The remainder of the lecture was mainly devoted to
the farther illustration of the resemblance existing be
tween the two great names of his text.
The lecture, long as it was, was evidently listened to
with deep interest, and elicited the hearty applause of
the audience.,
