Secretary Stanton's Speech at the Railroad Conventien. The following paragraph was as heretofore stated, added to the official report of the first day's pro ceedings of the late railroad convention: "Secretary STANTON paid a high compliment to the young and gallant friend at his aide, Major General MCCLELLAN, in whom he had the utmost confidence, and the result of whose military schemes, gigantic and well matured, were now exhibited to it rejoicing country_" The officers of the convention, having been ap plied to in various quarters to say whether this issgusge was used by Secretary STANTON, feel bound to state that such was not the ease, and these words, above quoted, were added after the report had been furnished to the agent of the As sociated Press. This is signed by ERASTUS Conn- DIG, president, and Thos. liumnsn, Jr., secretary. As the article in question occasions much com ment, especially among those unacquainted with the few and plain facts in {he case, the agent of the Associated Press repeats a former assertion, that the paragraph was by himself added to the official notice of the proccedingat It was based upon a statement, from recollection, of what was, .said on that occasion, without pretending to verbal .accuracy ; and, farther, that the information was not offered, but furnished on application. It now allure from the only authentic denial obtainable.— zamely, of the president and one of the secre taries—that the impression made on the mind of the informant was erroneous.

The theatres have not been doing worse this win ter than heretofore, a fact , to sundry people. The Wilßamses took five thousand dollars, in as many weeks, at the Walnut; John Drew has played six weeks to full houses ; and the Continen tal Theatre was never so profitable before. All this happens in a season of bank suspensions, when twenty-five thousand able-bodied men are out of town, and as 'many more unemployed in town. Theatres, however, flourish most in irri table and exciting times. With the float of great victories upon us, or even great defeats, we seek feverish gIIIIIIMUOItt4s The cities become foci for restless and adventurous people, accustomed to the hilarities of field and camp, and averse to ordinary social and domestic enjoyments. These go to the theatre by instinct, and enjoy the performance the more if it be fiery, passionate, and irregular, like themselves. The " White Terror " is the name of what is said to be a very feverish composition from the columns of a New York weekly paper. The strength of such dramas lies in the situations and incidents. They do not attempt vivid por traitures, and, in general, are not intricately oonstrueted. But, as they please the masses in story-form, there is no reason why they should not do likewise as dramas. Their sen timents are always sounding, and their issues acceptable. In fact, they subserve no unholy pur poses, and are legitimate enough for the loose taste of the times. " The White Terror" (ugh !) is thought to be a remarkable ex. emplifteatien of imperilled heroism "on the rampage." It will be produced at the Walnut-street Theatre to-night, under the super intendence of Robert Jones. The hero of the drama is bitten by a dog, and dies of hydrophobia. "Long-hidden jewels," "haunted ehambere," if sliding panel," and a bevy of murders, are some of its details. With these exceedingly simple oc currences every reader of the Ledger will be de lighted. The •'great combination," by which we under- Mend the " Comedy of Errors " and the comedy of the " Serious Family," will be re-enacted, after a lapse of years, at the Areh-street Theatre to-night. These pieces were played upwards of two hundred nights under an old regime, and it is presumed that they will be moderately successful at the present time. The two Dramios are played by John and Frank Drew, who used to be undistinguishable in the same parts. Mrs. John Gilbert is now a mem ber of the ;stock company. She ie net equal to Miss Wells, whom she replaced. Mr. Gottschalk's reception in this country has been of a most fervid character, and almost worthy of the pianist's genius. The New York critics are lauding him daily by the column, and if he is but half equal to their de scriptions we shall have, on his entry to Phila delphia; to-night, the greatest musical treat that we have known for years. The Herald's critic, Mr. Ryan, says that " every one is struck by the wonderful improvement that hard study and prao tice have made in his execution. Poetry and sen timent he never lacked. He has attained a mar vellous power in giving expression to the creations of a fancy cultivated to a point of which there have been few exempla in his profeesion." The concentration of musical talent on the occasion of his reappearance here has been sel dom paralleled in this city. All the artists of the New York Academy of Music will sop. port Mr. Hottflohalkr.--Miss Hinkley, Brignoli, Mancusi, and Sueini. Mr. Carl Wolfsohn, the talented pianist, will also assist. Max Maretzek will have musical direction of the concerts. We can but congratulate Mr. McKeon upon the continued and brilliant success of " Uncle Tom's Cabin" us now enacted at his theatre. Through all the misty, muddy, and stormy nights, his audiences have been large, ap preciative, and interested. The drama is one that pertains to their beat sympathies ; none of its scenes are impossible—they are rather all touching, natu ral, end earnest, screetireefi childlike in War sim plicity, and often rising to the highest in art. The flight of the batilementof the slave-hunters, the sale of Uncle Torn, the death of Eva, the plan tation dances and songs, are matters that linger in .the memory of the manes. Such dramas effect what philippics and fanatics 'cannot : they appeal to the affections, whence the way is plain to-the reason ; and those who weep with Topsy and Carey, learn their way back to the common origin of their sorrows, In this way tho story of Chicle Tons— badly dramatized, and but tolerably performed— ie silently and unassumingly leavening the preju dices and disenthralling the sympathies of men. Who shall say, if this be true, that the stage has not its mission ? A simple novel and a home-play have done what loud-mouthed philanthropy, and even the pulpit, failed to do. The Academy this evening will be engrossed by a soared milstairs. A vend Federal ball will be held therein on the night of March 4th, and it is anticipated that all the officers of the army and navy, at that timkin the city, will be participant!. As it may please some of the Mends of the retired members of Mrs. Drew's company to know how they are succeeding in New York, we clip the following notice - from Wedneeday's Herald : "Mr. W. Scalier), a gentlemen new to PA! city, earried of the honors of the evening, and absorbed what Doucicault calls "the male intorest" of the drama. His Danny Mann was a morceau of ec centric acting, comparable only to Hackett's Rip Van Winkle, Jefferson's Caleb Plummer, or Wei- Jew Facial. It bed that grotesque pathos which excites alike mites and -tears; and every scene, and almost every sentence, was applauded by an audience perfectly strange to this young actor. Miss Taylor's Annie Chnle wasvery prat. thy and perfectly acted ; Miss Wells played She/a/t, es she plays all eta 'woition, excellently ; Mr_ L_ R. Mhewell, as acted well and nuide the utmost of a alight•-part." The Magazines_ ATLANTIC MONTHLY FOR MARCH- —The num. ber opens, rather heavily, with a paper, by Charles L. Brace, on the fruits of free labor in the smaller islands of the British West Indies. More to the purpose is an article by H. W. S. Cleve land, in which the telegraph rifle is described as a fearfully effective weapon. "The Country Parson" discourses, with his accustomed geniality, on the Sorrows of Childhood. We notice that Tidkhor A Fields MillOtitie6 a tie* book of hie, to be called " Leisure Hours in Town." Professor Agassiz continues his wonderfully clear Methods of Study in Natural History, and C. C. Haswell discourses concerning the Rehabilitation of Spain, a subject of interest now, in connection with the Ed: ropean invasion of Mexico. William Dorsheimer concludes his able and one-sided sketch of Fremont's Hundred Days in Missouri, and Edward Everett argues very earnestly for the adoption of a judiolowl system of taxation—as a necessity which all admit— but does not hint what that system should be. " A Story of To-day," now reprinted in a volume as "Margaret Howth," is here concluded, and Mrs. Stowe's " Agnes of Sorrento," which is awfully slat, though containing many brilliant passages, (such as the beginning of the chapter on Rome,) is con tinued. It contains two poetical pieces, but Mrs. Stowe should eschew verse-making, for she cannot rhyme. _Lova thas and masts tha are not rhymes, nor are sorrows and arrows, nor 8021, and crown. Mountain Pictures, by John G. Whittier—truly as grand as The Southern Cross; by Mrs. Whitney—is an earnest poem, and Dr. Holmes has rarely written a finer patriotic lyric than the Voyage of the Good Ship Unipn, which we published on Friday. The Rev. Robert T. S, Lowell has here written a abort story, Called " A Raft that no man made," in which, with curious ingenuity, badly applied, almost every other word is misspelt. Professor Lowell in a new Biglow paper, occupying two pages of heaviest prose and six pages of rhymes, fearfully carries this bad spelling. He makes a countrified person ?Mite a great many shrewd things, with good rhyme and metre, but, all through, mis-spells, as an ignorant provincialist would mis-pronounce. This is unnatural. A person who could compose the sex-paged rhymed letter here given, undoubtedly, whatever his speaking dialect, would yell pro perly. In short, this making composition unread able by spelling almost every word badly, is a peer thing, very unworthy of so good a poet and so ac complished a scholar as Professor Lowell. HARPER'S MAGAZINE FOR MARCH.—This num ber is eminently pictorial. Turkey and Russia, by John B. C. Abbott, has 10 illustrations; Bow the Dutch are taking Holland has ; The Chiropo dist, a Story of Niagara Falls, has 3; Orley Farm, by Anthony Trollope, has 2 ; Tbsekeray's Adven tures of Philip has 2; the Editoeo Table has 9 the Fashions have 4—total thirty-jive, besides a crowd of Astronomical facetim, probably by John McOlenan, filling a whole page. There is good reading in this number, over and above the articles here mentioned. We would especially notice an in. teresting personal sketch of Bryant, the poet, and a tale called " Cured." The new chapters of Miss Mulock's Mistress and Maid" are poor enough. The Editor's Easy Chair and Drawer are capita. ATLANTIC MONTHLY..--We had the March num ber from T. B. Pugh, corner of Sixth and Chestnut, on Friday evening—he having received it much in advance of all other booksellers here. rublications Received. From T. B. Peterson it. Brothers we have the second volume of their own edition of Lever's military novels. " Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon," is here followed by ". Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," in which there is a mingling of life in Ireland and England, with military ad venture in the Peninsula, ending with Waterloo and incidents of Parisian life, in which Madame de Roni, the Dublin attorney's wife, figures very amusingly. The book, with its gorgeous title-page, printed in gold and colors, is attractive within and without. From the 381310 publishers we have two novels: An Only eon," published by Litton & Son, Bos ton, and first published in America in Littell's Lining Age, one of the best, as well as cheap est, periodicals we have. This is a story , of Eng lish society and East Indian warfare. The writer apparently has served in Aindostan, for hie de scriptions are vivid and faithful. Re is as much at home in India as Lever is in Ireland and the Continent. • The other new novel is also a reprint, from the prolific pen of MSS Yonge, author of " The ligir of Itedelyffe," which has found thousands of read ers in this country. It is called " The Young Step- Mother ; or, a Chronicle of-Mistakes." Like Miss Yonge's preceding stories, the localities and cha racters are chiefly English,—there is a shifting of the scene, fora short time, to the Crimea, which brings in Inkerman and Balaclava, of course. The domestic character of this story constitutes its charm—for the mind desires repose from those per petual sensation incidents and people who have lat terly " squatted " down on the fair realm of prose fiction. The book, though not what is called " a religious novel," has an undercurrent of serious thought, and will please serious readers. Letter from Port Royal Correspondence of The Press.] PORT ItoreL, S. C., February 18,1862 On the 28th of January occurred the advance movement from tins point, of whose initial portion I have already written you some account. Cir Cunt, stances have since been Co developed that the nar rative can be safely resumed, and told nearly with out reservation up to this date. It will be remem bered that four gunboats, under command of Capt. John Rodgers, advanced through Wall's Cut and the net-work of creeks that lead into the Savannah on its left bank, while six other gunboats, under Captain C. H. Davis, proceeded by :Wilmington Narrows, on the other side of the river, neither party entering the river, and both firing at four or five rebel gunboats which conveyed provisions to Fort Pulaski, immediately after this threatening of its communications became known. A force of troops followed in the rear of each Federal squad ron: Those with Captain Davis were three regi ments under General Wright, and have not yet re turned to Hilton Head. I shall make no attempt at present to describe what has been done with them. On the other and northerly side were the Forty-eighth New York, Colonel Perry; two companies of volun eer engineers under Captain Sears, and Ore compe ties of the Third Rhode Island, under Capt. Gould. These were all placed under command of Gen. Vide, who was also assisted by several officers of Gen. Sherman's staff: Gen. Gilmore, chief of en gineers ; Capt, John Hamilton, chief of artillery; Lieut. Porter, of the ordnance corps, and Lieut. O'Rerke, of the epgineers. This force was located on Danfuskie island, the nearest land to Wall's Cut suitable for the encampment of troops, and about three miler dietant from where the gunboats under Rodgers were lying. Yiele remained in about the same position for nearly two weeks, during which various reconnoissances were made, both by land and naval officers ; the former for the purpose of surveying the ground on the different islands of the Cavannah, and the latter to ascertain the feasibility of entering that river through either Mud or Wright river, which empty into it about five miles apart, and enclose by their embouchures Jones' Island. The naval surveys were freqeent, but it was not thought advisable for the gunboats to 'venture out side of the creeks. The Mud river is excessively shallow, and the Unadilla in her endeavors to pe netrate its muddy stream ran aground, and lay se veral days embanked in the mud, while the mouth of the Wright is almost within range of the guns of Fort Pulaski, about two miles away. The shal lowness of the channel in the Wright was such that Capt. Rodgers determined not to risk-attempting the passage, and Gen. Sherman at last ordered the coestruetion of a battery on Jones' Island. This was accordingly at once begun, and under circumstances of unusual difficulty. The national gunboats were so far back in the Mud river that they could afford but little assistance in case our troops should be attacked, and the rebel steamers were at this time constantly passing up and down the Savannah. Gen. Viola determined accordingly to construct a road across Jones' Island, from a point on the Mud river to that on the Savannah where the battery was to be erected ; but this work was one much more easily attempted than accom plished . The soil of the island is one mass of mud or water ; reeds aki high as a man's head are the only vegetation; and it is impossible to walk any distance without sinking up to the middle in the swamp. The idea of conveying heavy artil• lery across such a marsh seemed an impractica bility ; but energy accomplishes great things. The guns had been conveyed from Hilton Head in fiats, from which they were not yet removed. These Sate were towed down by rowboats, from General Viele's headquarters, to the landing on Jones' Island, the landing consisting of a pile of sand bags, on which planks were laid. The guns were run from the boats to these planks, and tramways, about forty feet long, placed beyond, along which the artillery was dragged. After the guns reached the end of the planks—of which there were two. sets—one vet was taken up and releid farther on. They weighed, of course, heavily on this tramway, but, unless the wheels ran off into the mud, did not crush the plank absolutely into the swamp, but when a wheel got a the plank the whole gun seemed likely to sink in the mire. The distance from the landing to the battery was over a mile ; the work bad to be done by night, so as not to attract the attention of the enemy; no shouting could be allowed for the same reason, and it required over four hours to drag each piece into position. When the carriages were got as far as the battery, the platforms were found- prepared to receive them ; they were unlimbered, and imme diately placed in battery. The whole operation Oatielod WO bights ; 114 Ord was the engineers in placing the platforms, and building the magazine, and vetting the guns from Daufuskie on land ; the second in dragging the pieces to the bat tory. This occurred on the 12th and' 13th of Fe bruary- On the 14th a rebel gunboat .ran the battery to Fort Pulaski; the gunners not having yet got the range of their pieces. On the next day it returned, and at the same time four other genboata came down the river from Savannah_ the objeet appaL' rently wee to enable that from Pulaski to return. THE PRESS. -PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FE BR Cr R Y 21, Mt. Fire was at once opened from the battery, the gun boats answering. The Shells from the fart were thrown with both anouraoy and effeot. A vessel bearing a commodore's flag was struck several times, and finally towed away by one of her com rades, while that returning from Pgigghi pgt back ; so that the blockade of the river was established. The engagement lasted about an hour. None of the enemy's shots took effect; the regult being thus doubly and eminently satisfactory. The guns of Fort Vulcan, AS the battery has been mama, W 656 manned by a. company of the Third Rhode Island, which has been drilled as an artillery regiment. Captain Gould was in command. The whole affair—the erection of the battery under such difficulties, and the success with which it was managed—are circumstances calculated to inspire this whole military command with confi dence. The gunboats Western World and Hale, which lay in Mud river, a mile or more back of the fort, shared in the firing, but, on account of their distance, were unable to produce any particular effect. The rebel vessels were little more than half a mile from the battery. The same night occurred one of the highest spring-tides that have been known here since our arrival in this place. The whole of Jones' Island was covered with water up to the very platforms of the guns, for there had not yet been time to erect dikes or parapets. Great fears were entertained Int the whole work should be washed away, or sink al together in the swamp ; but, fortunately, this was not the ease. The unfortunate picket guard, and the Wetting parties, who were augagod all eight long, as well as the gunners, were, of course, very muoh exposed. A heavy rain fell at the same time, to add to their sufferings, and two hun dred of the Forty-eighth New York Regiment aro Low on the sick list. The officers, regimental and staff; were quite as much exposed 121 the men, and some have given way ; but none, I believe, have yet been so ill that there is not a probability of their recovery. Quinine was administered to many before they went on duty. A reinforcement, con sisting of a portion of the Eighth Maine, has been sent to General Viet°, and at the time I write the battery is complete in its parapet, and is entirely surrounded by a dike. Federal gunboats remain in the Mud river. VAGABOND. INSTITUTION OP A PAM/ll — Lad °Ye ning a large congregation assembled at the Clinton-street Presbyterian Church to witness the institution of the Bev. Daniel Marsh as the rector of that church. The exercises commenced with the singing of an anthem, Mr. Charles Hornnian presiding at the organ. It la auffieletut to say that, under his masterly touch, all the melody of which that instrument is capable was fully rendered. The Bev. Mr. Jenkins made a very fervent prayer, in which allusion was made to the solemnity of the exer cises about to be performed. The blessings of God were besought in behalf of the minister elect, that he might be qualißed for the week, and receive an inspiration from on high in the discharge of his ministerial functions. The sermon was preached by the Bev. Hr. Adams. He announced his text from the 7th chapter of tit. John and the 17th verse, ~ If any man do his will, he shall know of the. daetritiet Whether it be of cod, or whether I speak of myself." The sermon was a faithful exposi tion of the delight entailed by doing God's will and obey ing km law. The different phases pertaining to well were examined and lucidly explained. Knowledge was neces sary to spiritual vitality, but, the speaker thought, se condary to will. Knowledge was not a Timm, We paged it tor some good, and when we seek an increase of it in spiritual things, we gain a nearer insight into God, and the further we get in this knowledge the more wo love Him. 'We gain by an obedience to His will a fellowship with Him. Various iIVWS which God has revealed to us through the Spirit were quoted as being applicable to the text tinder consideration. The sermon was Interspersed with anecdote and illustration, and was listened to with rapt attention and interest by the large congregation present. The charge to the pastor was delivered by the Rev. John Jenkins, who said : was useless to refer to many of the trials and joys incident to a pastorship, at the brother had bad experience 'in the different phases of a pastorship. In the peat his ministry had been charac terized by fidelity, and the earnest hope was indulged that he would be equally as successful and faithful in the church of which he was now the pastor." The charge was a pertinent one, and delivered with that generous unc tion so peculiar to Hr. Jenkins' preaching and teaching. The speaker heartfir Welcomed Mr. Marsh, and hoped to meet him in the sweetness or mutual counsel as well as in the meeting for prayer and praise. The congregation would be with him in his labors, and would support him, in season and out of season. The closing remarks of Hr. Jenkins were delivered 'with much solemnity of Yoke and manner, The charge to the people was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Darling., former pastor of the church. The remarks of this gentleman were in detail, and related to his past relations with the people to whom the pastor just Instituted had been called to minister. The speaker said, Do to him ae you die to me," was all that he could ask of them. Their Various obligations ware darned with great clear ness, and Ms congregation were visibly seeded at the tenderness and emotion exhibited by their late beloved pastor. The exercises concluded by the pastor being in troduced and welcomed by the congregation. IfIRE,---Art• alarm of fire was caused last evening by the burning of a frame dwelling in Third street, near Drown. The flames were extinguish ed before much damage had been done. CAVED Faturday night the culvert at Eighteenth and Pine streets caved in, leaving hole in the Area about seven feet wide, A lorae fell into the aperture, and was rescued with great difficulty. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Business was very generally suspended to-day, by a kind of conunon consent. No regular meeting of the Board of Brokers was held, and consequently no sales of stocks are reported. 'ho puiAic are cautioned against a new niece of lainy, by which the operator cuts the coupons off the $OO 7.30 Treasury notes, and passes the note as a demand note in trade, thus pocketing $1.0.95, the amount of the coupons for three years, which he may collect half yearly upon presenting them At the 9orernment Offices. Tradora should bear in mind that there are n; $5O demand notes, only 85s, 8/oe, and s2os. he Pottsville Minor's Journal says: The enautity sent by railroad this week l 27,005 07 against 20,023 tone for the corresponding week last year. The demand for coal remains without much change ex cvpt for Chestnut, of which bat Ride is made "lithe. the. WU. ter season.

The mili tary everate pf the 'week seem to have brought in toast. &raine orders from the public, and much of the business of this morning was made up of orders by mail and tele graph.

ARHIVED. MEMORANDA CITY ITEMS. SAUNDERS' Canwri,—Major General Patter son wee pleased to assign to the well-drilled Company of maunders' tiadote, of maunders' Institute, of West Phila delphia, a place about one square retnoetd from the head of the extended column, which paraded on Saturday. The uniform of this Company, (a gray cloth, of the same color and quality as that worn by the Cadets of West Point, with white gaiters,) is very tasteful and becom ing. The nag; presented to the Company a year mince, by William J. Forstmann, Esq., is re markably elegant. But the soldierly bearing of the Cadets, their grace and manliness, were their chief attractions. Drilled, as they are every day, in the prenence of epee:taken., we were not surprised to hear, as we did bear, competent judges 'say their movements were unsurpassed, by any in that long line of well-disciplined companies. It is frequently remarked that these Cadets never appear to better advantage than at church on the Sabbath; which they attend as a company, with a degree of order and decorum which would do credit to theo logical students. The editor of The Press, on a recent visit to Saunders' Institute, felt it his duty to say that, although he had known much of the seminary fur seri.- ral years, in consequence of his eon's connection with it, yet he was surprised to see to how great a degree of perfection the general training and the military drilling bad hem carried, and that ho obaerved with pleasure that the -moral and social excellencies of the Institute were manifestly of a corresponding character. Saunders , fiadoiS MAY Vi.H4 leailiod that they..-111, by such manly deportment and such devotion to their duty, secure the regards of the entire community. We aro gratified that our authorities took so much pains to honor them on en occasion that will never be forgotten by Plana deiphians. JERSEY CURED HARS.--Ilir. C. H.
