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.

Public Amusements.
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

Jew Facial. It bed that grotesque pathos

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.

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.

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.

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.
