Lecture in Aid of the Port Roy-
AL CONTRABANDS.—Last evening, Concert Hall was
crowded with a highly intelligent audience, to listen to a
lecture from Alias Annie E Dickinson on the “ Crist* of
the Nation,” in aid of tho Port Royal contrabands. The
Breaker appeared upon the occasion neatly attired, and
was greeted with loud applause. She spoke in a loud*
clear, ar.d distinct tone, jvi\4 hVf rSMfIVH;? elicited the
most profound attention.
The speaker, after alluding to our national troubles,
continued by ascribing the cause of all to slavery.”
She alluded briefly to the rise and progress of this evil in
the different States, and condemned it in the strongest
terms It was only a year ago, when tho Union was
first threatened with destruction, that tho Peace and
National Conventions assembled, and at that time dis
cussed tho subject of slavery and offered more conces
sions to preserve the country. If, then, slavery is the
cause of the rebellion, sweep down the cause, kill slavery,
crush it out of existence. It is said tho cotton States
cannot live without slavery. If so. tho speaker would
crush out their existence. Il is out-duty to use every
thing in our power to protect ourselves, and if
slavery stands in our way, aud is crushed, who ia
to blame 1 N*t we. She held that emancipation
was constitutional, because the Constitution holds
that all men are horn free and equal, and was formed for
our protection 4nd ftdfAi-4. K 6 oiie he deprived of
liberty by tho laws of the United States. It you decide
the slave to bo property, then he must be treated as any
other property, and all should be confiscated. If some
proclaimed by Union men, the latter should be com pul
sated fairly, out the Blare should not be returned. If
ftonthern Union men Are not willing to Buffer, then they
are unworthy their country’s protection. [Applause.]
You plead the humanity of liberating, and arming the
slaves against their masters. They aro fighting against
our fathers and brothers, by the sides of their mantors.
How do you propose to fit tho slaves for as it is
emb they are unfit to be free 1 The speaker denounced
this in strong terms* ULd argued thoy would never be
suited for freedom if forever held by the hand of tryanny.
How wo read in this war of the slaves coming into camp,
and of giving important information, and tnen sont back
to bondage.
The speaker further maintained that our snhlio a ware
daily getting further Smith, where, in warm weather, thay
would be swept off by thousands by diseases peculiar to
those localities. Why not, then, form regiments of the
blacks who live there, and are accustomed to tho cli
mate. They could bold possession of the different points
ss fast as occupied by our troops For more than ten
months the South has held the North at bay, and until a
decisive blow is struck by our cotnmander-la-clnef,
McL'Mlan, the speaker sarcastically remarked that she
would withhold all praises. [This sentence was received
Trilhloud applause, into rminpleil with hiMes] She &{■
hided in brilliant terms to the removal of Gen. Fremont,
whom she contended had accomplished more than all, and
was on the eve of fighting a battle whi :h was fought
by bis successor, three months nfti r. She thought
it time to recognize the only true leader the people ha t
in this canec=-one who ytm not afraid to inscribe on his
banner freedom and liberty. [ApplaußC] For the first
time iu the history of this nation, the President of the
United States proclaims it boldly th it it is for freedom
that we are fighting.
Tlie speaker concluded her remarks amidst the most
uproarious applause, and tho largo audience slowly re*
tired.
Death from a Fall.—Yesterday af
terneon a boy, named Henry Chadwick, was instantly
Rilled Dy falling down a hatchway, at the lager-beer
brewery of Decker & Stepnaclior, near the Falla of
Schuylkill. Tho coroner was notified to hold au inquest.

one of liis feet crushed. He was removed to the Hospital.

The proceedings of the regular monthly meeting of the
Philadelphia Sabbath-school Association, wluch were

of an inierealiiijt ftbd impdriahfc character. The
meeting was held in the Old School Presbyterian Church,
Broad street, below Chestnut, of which the Her. J. M.
Crowell is pastor, and was largely attended. It was
opened with singing, And prAyor by the Rev. John
Chambers. At the previous monthly meeting of the As- *
BociatioD, hold in the Arch-Btreet Presbyterian Cfcurch,
a committee was appointed to carry out a resolution thon
passed, looking to the holding, in this city, of a State
S«bbHth*BChool Conversion The chairm&u of that com

ways Hud means by which to impart increased vigor and
efficiency to the Sabbath schools, reach the destitute dis
tricts, and advance the general interests of the cause.
The meeting wds.ditjmissed with a benediction, by tho
Bov. John Chambers.
Ax Extensive Carpet House It may not
be generally known that among the manufactories of
Philadelphia and her environs thero is numbered one of
the largest and most celebrated Carpet Factories in Ame
rica ; wo refer to tho Glgxi Echo Mills, at Germantown, of
which Messrs. McCallum & Co. are the proprietors. The
city varerooms of this firm are at No. 509 Chestnut street,
opposite Independence Hall. In addition to their own
manufactures, Messrs. McCallum & Co. are extensive
importers. Their stock at the present time, in all its
departments—including both Carpets and Oil Cloths, of
every description—is very complete. In passing through
the several stories of their spacious establishment, n few
days sgo, wo wore Burpriaed at tho infinite variety} no*
velty, aud beauty which their stock displayed. Their
Spring trade has already set in with considerable activi
ty, and, between the packages constantly receiving and
those that are being shipped, there is an air of business
life i»ud vitality about this hausa that shows good bottom
and enterprise at the helm. For obvious reasons, the
inducements held out by them to buyers aro very superior.
They have, for years past, sold largely to jobbing houses
in nil parts of the Union, not excepting New York aud
Boston Many of their new designs, now for the first
time offered to the trade, aro excot dingly tasteful, and,
we doubt not, as the season advances, will be much
eought after.
John B. Godoii at me Academe op Music.
—lt is not rash to predict that the two most attractive
lectures of tho season are those to bo given by the world
renowned temperance advocate, John B. Gough, Esq., at
tho Academy of Musfcj on Thursday and Friday even
ings of thin week. Almn&t enough reaerved-seat tickets,
at fifty cents each, have already been sold to fill the par
quet, parquet-circle, and balcony of that spacious edifice,
and tbo sale of them continues unabated. The great
popularity- of Mr. floa*.h with ail claase-, as an orator,
in a field in which others offend quite as often as please,
and his wonderful powers of description, Together with
the fact that the lecture he is about to givo will be new
to a Philadelphia audience, will secure for him an im
mense audience. The price of tickets for the family
circle and amphitheatre is twenty-five cents, and these
will probably all be taken before Thursday evening.
The Hutchinsons tuis Evening,,—A con-'
cert by the Hutchinson Family is announced for thiß
(Wednesday) evening, at the Spring Garden Institute,
corner of Broad and Spring Garden stroets. Tho enter
ttiinments of these celebrated vocalists are always
plvufimgi fr?Bi the epicr stoMMter t>f tn? msr»<?>we
for this evening, ntiicli has been handed to ns, we may
promise a rich treat to all aho may attend.
Delicious Cosiuctiosekv. —We have to
day to announce the gratifyin» intelligence that Mr. A.
Ij. Yausant, that Prince of Confectioneiß in thiß country,
has just brought out a variety of delicious Spring pro pa
rations, which the public will appreciate. Prominent
among these, the rush for his Sweet Jordan Roasted Al
monds, Allows that they are peculiarly popular. Vaa
gant'a Confections are the purest and the rmst delicious
that bio made.
Tite Last Exhibition.— I The readers of The
I’ress will bear In mind that this is the last chance which
they will have of seeing Davis’ Panorama of tho Great
Rebellion, as it will be exhibited in Camden on Thursday
evening. After a run of six weeks in this city, it is now
es popular as ever. On Monday night, the room was
crowded; every available part was taken. It created
great applause from the raising of the stars and stripes
on Fort Sumpter to the retreat of the rebels af Port
Hoynh
l Eiii©ftD»iEß Meats.— Mr. C.H. Malison,
dealer in Fine Groceries, Arch and Tenth streets, has
now on hand an elegant supply of fine Jersey-cured
liatns, superior dried beef, and smoked tongues of the
largest size; also, smoked and spiced salmon, and dried
fish of every description,—to which we Invite the atten
tion of our readers.
The Battle of the ie Iron-clads. 55 — The
rebel steamer Merrimac appears to have had it all her
OlYfi VftFi W Saturday morning, with the “wooden
wans” in Hampton Roads, sinking one ship, taking an
other prisoner, turning the gnus of the captured vessel
on its former owners, and altogether acting like a mena
gerie broke loose, until the arrival of another “iron
clficU” the Mmiton just in time to interfere with the
antics of mac-the-merr]/—when, after a couple of hours of
pej>perinffi tho rebel, becoming sufficiently seasoned and
(707/e, withdrew from the fire. The transaction proves
. conclusively that wooden vessels are no match for “iron*
&l&d ,} veesUs as men-of- var, and tlio analogy is probably
sustained in reference to men of p>eace t a a well as men
of-tear, that, if properly cZatf, they must always main
tain u superiority over their fellows. We know* this hint
will be acted upon by our citizens rushing immediately
to Chas. Stokes* “one-price,” under tho “-Continental,”
and encasing themselves completely in a suit of male
clothing for the spring campaign.
Spring.— Yesterday the sun shone out in all
lie splendor and beauty, and we may now consider that
(he spring season has fairly opened upon us. During
yesterday afternoon the principal streets wore thronged
with gay promenaders, All of whom had taken advantage
of the fine weather, and again made their appearance,
after having been liougod up for several days* Chestnut
street, as wual, received its full share of the fashion and
elite of the city, many of whom, we noticed, made their
appearance for the first time robed in the neat-fittlDg
ai.d latest styles of spring garments gotten up at the
palatial clothing establishment of Granville Stokes, No.
609 Chestnut street, where clothing is sold at 25 per cent,
cheaper than any other place in the city.
Manassas Taken!—Tins is the glad news
which thrilled the loyal heart yesterday. The rebels have
evacuated the last stronghold which interposed between
their capital and tho Potomac, and the stars and stripes
now wave proudly ovtr the much-talked-of entrench
ments. Pennsylvania troops occupy the works, and it is
narrated that a zealous Key stoner, upon mounting the
ramparts, flung to the breeze a flag which had inscribed
upon it the declaration that Philadelphia was ahead of
the world, and that the best garments for soldiers and
civilians were those made at the Brown Stone Clothing
Hall of Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut
street, above Sixth.

SPECIAL, NOTICES.
Nearly Three Years Ago, Jfrofcssor
BOLLES, with his Assistants, arrived »n this city, and
established himself at 1220 WALNUT Street, and an
nounced that be had made aa important discovery in the
&f G&lvauDM. Mag&dtistt. EUelyA-MafineU
ism, and other modifications of Electricity, for the cure
ot all acute and chronic diseases, aod at first we were not
much excited, as we had heard others proclaiming to
have made new discoveries in applying this mighty agent
for the cure of disease j but since we have turned our at
tention more directly to the multitude of cures performed
at 1220 WALNUT Street,by Professor Band have ex
amined the philosophy of his new discovery, we are ready
to give our opinion for the benefit of the diseased of body
or mind. The discoverer is a man of original thought
and independent cast of mind, and a keen power of ana
lysis . There seems to be no confusion or guess-work in
bis treatment. He proceeds on simple principles, and
according to laws which, if true, bittst be infallible. Wa
have watched his success carefully for a long time. What
he claims as Dew, frwe, and important to suffering hu
manity, is his discovery of the proper use of the different
modifications of electricity to the different diseased con
ditions of the human organism, in harmony with its
ganglionic relations. We do not undertake to define the
science of his discovery, but mostly to notice his almost
incredible cures, some of which are performed in a few
minutes j and so certain are his plans of diagnosis that
he can warrant, with unerring certainty, and never fails
(as we learn). We feet most thankful to him for having
been able to lift the veil which has covered with darkness
and obscurity the most powerful and subtle agent in
God’s Universe. We contemplate soon to see a reform
taking place in the medical practice of our country, as
understand hundreds of medical men are being auali
fled in this new discovery of Prof. B. We have been bo
much pleased in finding u doctrine which is connected in
all its parts, which in reality undertakes to explain the
nature, action, and polarities of electricity in the nervous
system, that we have penned this testimonial to Professor
BOLLEs for the public good, . mhll-3t*
