SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1862 The Progress of Photography in ftiila- aclphia. The art of depicting objects by the agency of light bids fair to vie with, if not to outstrip in popu larity’all other modorn inyentionSi the art pre servative of all arts ” alone exeoptod. Its progress, since its practical application by Daguerre, in France, and by Talbot, in Englund, three and twen ty ycftjg hAS run thVAUak A jo&Unuoua aeries of improvements, cheered at every step by the prompt and profitable appreciation of the public. By its Agency, works of art, which for long centu ilea were wholly confined to mansions of the rich, aro reduplicated at so cheap a rate that the hum blest can possess and enjoy them. Heaven, always and: in the best s«ii3Q, demoor&tic— dispensing Us bounty alike upon the high and the low—has, in the development of this art, turned painter for the poor man’s home. -Thus, while for nops tho pfiniieg and nobility of earth could boast of their 44 works of the old masters,” we, through modern photography, have great objects minified, and small ones magnified, by the goldon pencil of an older and a greater Master, with ft ra pidity that makes their possession a source of plea sure and improvement in every household. It is gratifying to us ? that in this race for superiority in the various branches of tho Daguerrian art, Phila delphia. if she has not achieved a decided pro-emi nence, has at least kept equal pace with any of the cities of Europe or America. The Sale of Photographs, especially the carte de vi'te size, has become an important item of trade. By this means, in conjunction with tho Photograph Alhum, which is another invention for ell future time, the most celebrated personages in every part of the world are made familiar to all whose tastes ran in that direction. We were not aware until yes terday tiiut the sole of carles Ac visits JQ IhondOQ and Paris was largely of American celebrities, the pictures being executed here to the order of the transatlantic dealers. For some months past Mr. (jutekunst, of this city, who is confessedly unsur passed in general photography in this country, and in the production of the popular carte tie visite un rivalled, has filled a large number of foreign orders or tbis class. By the way, speahing of Mr. dute kunst. wo have to chronicle the elegant new im provements which he has just added to his galle ries, on Arch street, above Seventh. With the ex ception of u single room, the two vulirc building?, Pios. 701 and 700 Arch street, are now occupied in tho prosecution of his immense business. The front, with its two magnificent show-windows, Harking u wide, handsome entrance from the street, is striking and attractive. For several days past, tho pavemont in front has been fairly beset with an admiring throng. Entering (be door, W 9 come immediately into the pieture gallery and reception room, a large apartment, embracing the entire ground floor of the vast building, with it? side? enrigUgfl by « splendid and varied array of specimen portraits. In the centre of the room is a double counter, forming an elongated letter V. surmounted with largo glass oases con taming an endless variety of monutiggs for pic tures, cartes de visite of distinguished persons, copies of oil paintings, rare engravings, etc-, and photograph albums, which are exhibited and sold to customers by polite attendants. In the rear of this apartment are desks arranged for the transaction of the office business of the house, and a large fire proof safe, in which all daguerrotypes and other pictures font in to be copied aro oara fully secured against accident. This Itself eon stitues a large item in Mr. Gutekunst’s business, his copies from old and indistinct pictures being regarded as very superior. A brief outline of the formula.or system observed in waiting upon applicants for sittings may not ba uninteresting. On entering the Reception Rdom, the sitter is furnished with a ticket containing the number of his “ turn,” and specifying the kind of picture desired. If a lady, the next step is to pro ceed, by an easy stairway, to the Ladies’ Dressing Roam, on the seeond story—a handsome apartment, furnished with all requisite conveniences, and sup plied with entertaining books to pass tho time plea santly while waiting. A similar apartment is also appropriated for gentlemen unaccompanied by la dies. On the arrival of the “ turn” designated by the number, notice is- given by the operators, and the subject for a photographic operation is directed to seme one of the three » skylights,” or operating-rooms. Here the ‘ : negative’ ’is obtained, or glass plate with the portrait impressed upon it in reverse. Owing to the thorouclily-scientific prin ciple? adhered to by Mr. Gutekuust, more than a single sitting is seldom required. The « negative,” thus obtained, is then taken to an adjoining room, where it is developed, and afterwards dried ready lor use, The plate is next conveyed to the Printing Room. Tho facilities in this department are on tho largest scale; the “ frame” for exposing the nega tives to tho sun, in order to secure the impression upon the silvered paper, being of sufficient size la receive from ninety to one hundred “ blocks” (or small wooden cases}, in which the negatives are secured while printing, a large proportion of which— All 6p UiASA IntAUdAd for curd pictures — oontaia four impressions each. The average time required for the printing process when the light is favorable is about twenty minutes, so that there is a possibility of pro ducing with these facilities as many as twelve hull’ dred single impressions in an hour. We may also state here, that every negative is marked with the number of the ticlcet given to the sitter, which number ia also set opposite la the person’ s name upon a register kept for this purpose, so that if du plicates are called for any time within a year (that being the limited time for preserving the negatives) they can he produced without delay. The room where these negatives are stored affords a startling idea of the extent to which photographing is car ried on in this establishment, the present number of negatives, accumulated within the past year, exceeding thirty thousand. After the pictures are printed, they are subjected to an ingeniously arranged circulating cold water bath for several hours, usually a whole night, in or der to divest them of all superfluous chemicals, and to make the impressions absolutely durable. After this process, beiDg thoroughly dried, they are ready for the Mounting Room, where they are pared down to the requisite size. They aro then attached to pure white cards, by the use of a fine and very cohesive paste, run between metallic rol lers of some two tons pressure, and after being highly polished by a liquid application, they are sent down to the Reception Room and deposited in alphabetical drawers, ready for delivery. ! Taking into consideration the numerous processes j through which every photograph has to pass, the Jow prices at which they are sold is really marvel. - PPis. A carte de visite , for instance, sold by McAllister & Brother, or Earle & Son, or J. W. Queen & Company, or the various religious' publi cation houses—all of which establishments are in a large degree furnished with these beautiful me mentoes from the gallery of Mr. Gutokunst—pa33 through thirteen different hands before they are finished. One of the chief secrets of the eminence attained by the latter as a photographist is doubt less found in his practical knowledge of chemicals, being a graduate of the College of Pharmacy; and another is, that the Operating and printing depart ments are superintended by himself personally. Not a single picture is allowed to pass out of his establishment without his approval; and, be ing himself an artist, he ha? thus avoided the reputation of making second-rate pictures. He has also added, from time to time, certain substantial improvements in his art, which give him decided advantages. The major part of the materials used, by him are prepared under his own immediate supervision. His present establish ment is the greatest contribution to the importance of this branch of industry and art that our city has yet received. Ha now gives constant employment to twenty-five operatives, which have their appro priate spheres of labor in twelve different apart ments. The building, or buildings, rather—though they oommunicßto throughout—are supplied with every modern convenience, including!dumb-waiters and speaking tubes. The whole is heated from the basement. As might be supposed, he is prepared to execute every branch of his art, from the small carte to the life-size photograph, colored and plain; also, ivorytypes, talbotypes, and every description of mounting and frames. Everything in this estaV lbbmcnl proceeds with the Bystem and regularity of clockwork. TnEMEHDors Agitation Against White Chokers. —The Paris Sport, of March 7, Which is the journal patronized by the clubs and by young France, announces the immediate extinction of the white neokcloth—it is singularly bitter against this admitted portion of the dress toilet. It seema that the young men of fashion will not go to parties where this part of the costume is indispensable, and many of the patronesses of high circles have given into the decision. It appears that a lady of high distinction, who has the reputation of making the most elegant courtesy in Europe after the Queen Victoria, excited the risible faculties of one of the most aristocratic assemblies by offering a most gracious specimen of her talent to the white-neoked butler, whom she mistook for the master of the house. Our fashionable journal dwells upon this contretemps as quite a sufficient reason for the abandonment of the detestable white, and the sub stitution of roso or pink silk. The mechanics of Buffalo are on a strike for twenty-five cents more a day, all around. They fc ave been getting from $1 to $2 a day. Prom Island No. 10. THE DETAILS TO MONI From the editorial correspondent Post) dated above Island No. 10, following paragraphs are taken : An Alarm. Many were somewhat startled this morning by ft rapid succession of the sound <f six or sevon heavy guns, as if at a great distance from the fleet. Various conjectures were Iraised as to the direction from which the so usd omho, §dme con tending that it was at New Madrid, while the ma jority insisted that Point Pleasanj; was near the origin. Among those to whose ears the tale of the fourteen rebel gunboats reputed SjuiMiag at New Orleans, had come a few days previous with dire* iul significance, there was u flatter ofr excitement, anxious discussion and Bpeoulations. Visions of stupendous floating batteries, capable of incredible number of knots an hour in flpeedJend railroad iron, seemed to lt loom up 1 * and cluster around the head of the island, wnile from their open ports, guns of several hundred pounds calibre peered forth ready to destroy thA flotilla at the first broadside. No such sad ralstiap occurred during the day, however, and we still are safe. The New Rebel Gunboats. Speaking of the ntw iron-clad gunboats which the rebels are said to be building at New Orleans, a correspondent says: At Hickman, so late the abode of and subsequently to a great degree the coiifdanu of projected schemes and measures, the number is said by the inhabitants to never have been placed higher than seven. And even tile reports there prevalent did not give them the benefit of such a C6iit Of mall, faor even surrounded them ttHU a great degree of invulnerability, as to regard them any thing more than a means of defence) instead of ag gression. Iron is a scarce commodity in the South. When church toils are demanded for the oannon founder, and hardware of every-dayluae confiscated, as it is fully corroborated has boon done there, no other inference can be drawn than that the raw material is fast giving out, and new mines must bo. discovered or some other metel substituted. It is probably upon these gunboats that the rebels depend to carry on the aggressive policy proposed by certain Confederate journals. That scheme in cluded the repulse of Commodore (Foote’s flotilla, the recapture of Columbus, the taking of Cairo, and forcible possession of the Illinois Central rail road, its northern termini, Chicago and Hunleith included; immediate passage up thb’ Ohio and Mis sissippi rivers; the capture of Cinbinnati and St. Louis, and the consequent “relief of oppressed Southrons” in the latter city, besides sundry other important aggressive moveinenta-j-and all with fourteen gunboats! This course the] Memphis Ava- Imche not long since solemnly predicted would be pursued The Red Rover ' Of late, rebel steamers bare be en very unfre quent risitors about the works of the enemy, whioh are within the limits of vision from aus only point of observation—the decks of the gunboats. The teronaut, who ma le his obser vations on one of those days last week in whioh fog and smoke combined to shut tut everything from vifw. reported several moores aome distance below the island, but they have nol progressed up the stream where they could be seen, as they were on the few first days succeeding th: arrival of the fleet. But one came up Inplftin Sight today. It was supposed to be ihe Red Rover, a boat well known on these waters prior to the breaking out of the war. Its visit was of short duration, and it soon withdrew. Brist Cflhnouadujg. The cannonading on both sides has been more rapid than was that of yesterday. [ The mortars in particular bare made many excellent efforts to ward the island: It has been heretofore at&ud that Col. Buford and Copt. MoynaltnJ accompanying Prof. Steiner on his balloon trips, discovered that the shots of the mortars were, in the majority of cases, far beyond the place it was designed they should Strike. This is true of those fired in the di rection of the island; while they were thus ele vated the greater number fell far be yond the works of the enemy, while not one which struck the ground fell short. A few exploded in the air over the works. Anxiety to Hear from The greatest anxiety is daily manifested to ob tain late intelligence from the fort es under Gen. Pope at New Madrid, and a day paeeing without the receipt of news from that quarter is a day of suspense. It will not be difficult for your readers who have studied the position of affairs in this lo cality to understand the reasons which prompt this desire on the part of those accompanying the expe dition. The success of our force sit this place is olosdy allied with movements from fhat direction— movements to the accomplishment of which obsta cles have. thus far been presented, hut wfcieht it is hoped, will ere long he removed, jibe position Of Gen. Pope is now one of the most important of any that has been captured or assumed since the begin ning of the war. The great stake was worthy of the means by which it w«? won, and the long and. successful siege sustained by the army of Gen. Pope before the town, paved the way for the sudden and utter overthrow of the Confederate army in the position we have now assailed. The Enemy Cannot be captured if De feated. Those who fancy that when the final struggle at this point has been made and the onnmy conquered the entiro lot will be “bagged,” neeld not, a? f have before insinuated, “lay that flattering UUCtiOa tO their soul.” It is probable that in the event of a speedy reduction of the position scarcely one-sixth of the force now contending against us will be ta ken. The plank road is flu ?asy sad smooth road Of egress for troops if not for stores ana ordnance. We may be so fortunato as to gain much in the way ef “ plunder,” but theiive spoils will be comparatively few, if the rebels are yet possessed of a tithe of the discretion they hare shown in the past. The rebel transports are yet free to come and go from the widow Merriweather’s landing, and from thence to the batteries opposed to us it will be remembered is but a distance of five miles. This is but a short “ Stretch” for & fleet-footed rebel with a foe in the rear. Our Pickets Surrounded tly Water. The earth of Donaldson’s Point daily presents a swollen area above the surface of the water. Colo nel Buford’s pickets have been surrounded ever since stationed on duty, and the encroaching ele ment gradually circumscribes sphere of action. It is possible they may be forced by the pJffeSS of dli*6iiin«iahccp- in this case water, to the first evacuation of this point. The high water has in no wise benefited us, and hnsjdone no injury to the rebels. It has threatened danger to their works, but, so far as it is possible! for us t<? de termine, has not executed the threat. They are above it, and a rise of at least three ieet must ensue before seriously interfering with their position. It has increased the strength of the current of the Mississippi, and rendered , our position ig a fight much more hazardous. Even the towboats now find it extremely difficult to uijinage burdens which, at the common stage of water, they would be able to rattle up stream with the greatest ease. Against all these difficulties, in addition to the guns of the rebel batteries, the flotilla contend*. Monday’s Operations. [Special correspondence of the Chicago Tribune. J Monday, March 31. —The Wilson has just re ceivcd orders for Cairo, and I impure the time to add to my letter a few items of interest, which would seem to indicate a different line of policy upon the part of the rebels. From our position while communicating with the Benton, by the aid of a glass I could discover gangs of inen and teams fit Work Upon the upper battery, which we bad supposed was completely silenoed. The lower part of the battery is submerged, but the upper portion is being repaired. Upon the main land a long line of new fortifications have been thrown up. and several entrenohed camps established. This would seem to corroborate the assertion of the Memphis papers, that reinforcements had been sent to the island; at least, within the past day or two the rebel camps have largely increased upon the island, also, another battery has been erected and trans ports tO'day are plying busily between the head and foot of the island. Everything ejnemy ward in dicates a desperate struggle. Cheering news oomes from General Pope, which I cannot detail. The day of our deliverance is at hand. I Look out for stirring news. Interesting from Corinth, Mississippi—The Strength Of the Rebel Army Concen trated there: The Cincinnati Times, of Wednesday eveoiag, says: We yesterday had a call from an. individual, named Hiram Wilkinson, whose home! is in Buffalo, New York, but who has been for nearly two years a resident of the South. He gave us a detailed ac count of his impressment into tho Secession army, and his subsequent escape, on the 24th of last month, from the rebel line at Corinth, which bears the mark of truth upea it, but.which ; ffi omit ,* and he showed a pass signed by Stanley Matthews, Pro vost Marshal of Nashville. He was attached to an independent company of cavalry—there are numerous iudep mdent com- Saniea of soldiers in tho Southern army, as all are esirous of commanding—and, as Capt. Cheatham was a reckless and brave man, he was ordered on frequentreconnoissances, and Wilkinson had, there fore, excellent opportunities of learning the condi tion of affairs He says that not a regiment arrives t 6 feittfOFOe tho national army, but it' is known to the rebel offioers, who are as well acquainted with the strength and disposition of our forces as our commanders, so complete is their Bystem of es pionage, and so numerous the traitors in high posi tion among us. When our informant left, on the 24 ;h alt., there were from 70,000 to So,ooo Confederates, under Beauregard, along the new line of defence, and within twenty-five or thirty miles of Corinth, and reinforoemefiii were pouring in from the east, west and south, in large numbers. Arkansas will be completely drained of troops in a few weeks, and large numbers are coining from all jparts of Vir- S’ma —even fretffi the army between Biiohmond and anassas-T-the Confederates having dotonnioed to abandon ail the border States, and make a stand in Cotionia proper. There are not, he! 3ays, 60,000 men in all Virginia, and it is the confidential belief of the people of Mississippi and Alabama that Mont gomery will again be the capital of th'e“ Confede racy 77 m leas than 60 H&j§. \ The rolling stock on the Hast Tennessee Railroad is all impressed into the Government service to carry eannon, troops, and ammunition from Vir ginia to the new fortifications, in process of con struction in Mississippi and Western Tennessee. The rebels are anything but confident of victory; indeed, in the ranks, there exists a {general de spondency. The officers do all in their power to rally the men, but in vain. A bloody defeat at Corinth, and a sudden advance upwi (be compara tively unprotected State of Virginia, Mr. Wilkin son believes would Bpeedily overthrow the re bellion. I Great fears are entertained for New Orleans, as it is well known that it will be attacked soon. But there is a disposition to risk the fate! of the olty rather than ttyat of the Corinth army, as the rebels are confident that the yellow fever will drive Sett ler’s forces out in due time, while Northern Mis sissippi is a very healthy region, and aa C&- cellent base for preparation during the heated term. The rapture of the city, and tLe fulls pro tecung it, will diminish the artillery of the Confe derates so materially, however, that the further proseoution of the war must necessarily be trusted to the lighter arm of the service—cavalry and in fantry—and they must depend almost solely upon brilliant charges, something for which the Con federates have not yet exhibited an enlarged ca pacity. Ills .Mobnl of tho strength of Gen. Grant’s army, derived from rebel sources, shows that our'enemies know much more than we dare publish. liow it was obtained is a mystery to all but a few of tho rebel officer?, and the epics themselves, iA¥ LAST. m of the Chicago llarch 30tU, the A correspondent of the St. Louis wri ting from Cairo, gives the following description of Commodore Hollins’ steaji*rani Turtle , or Mantis sas y which drove away our ships at the Southwest Pass of (he Mississippi, several months ago, and which, at the present time, is moored at Island No. 10, Afldlstiiig the rebels in the defence of that place. The correspondent says: I have seen a rough sketch of Hollins’ cele brated gunboat, the Manassas t or Turtle , taken from the descriptions of intelligent parsons in Ga luiufeus, who have seen her. She is about one hun dred feet long and twenty feet beam, and draws from nine to twolvo foot of water. Her shape above w&tor is nearly that of half a §fesrp]y - p9iflfad egg shell) so that a shot will gianoo from her) ns matter where it strikes. Her back is formed of twelve-inch oalc, cavercd with one-and-a half-inch bar-iron. She has two chimneys, so arranged as to slide down in timoof action. The pilothouse is in the stern of the boat. She is worked by a power ful propeller, but cannot stem a strong current. She carries only one gun, a sixty-eight-pounder, right in her bow. 3ece3»icniets of Columbus say that at ono time she would have come up here to teat the metal of our forts if the water had not been too low. There was no time, however, while she was at Co luuibua, when there was not water enough to float her. She is said to be now at Island No 10, and tt is reported that she would come up and engage our boats ifsbo could stem tho current. There are too many “ifs” about the institution. There Is only one entrance to her through a trap door in back. Her port-hole is furnished with a heavily-plated trap, which springs up when thegun is run out, and falls down when it. is run buck. How the crew get their light and Rir, I SBU’t pre tend to say. This Turtle is certainly a formidable affair, a second Merrimac in its way, and appears to be ca pable of doing much damage while receiving but little. It would be impossible to board her, as there is only one entrance, and she is supplied with hose for throwing hot water. The rebels claim to have some new gunboats be low, of a very formidable character. If tho Turtle ie all the Seoesh fancy paints her, why doesn’t she try the batteries of Point Pleasant and Smith’s Landing ? BUKBBOH OBIiBKAh SMlTIi’5 RETORT OF THE CON- JMTION OP PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS. State or Pennsylvania, April 2, 1862. I 1112 Walnut stfeat, Philadelphia » Governor : I have the honor to report that As sistant Surgeons Crawford and Warbourg, with a hospital steward, reached IVinoheeter March 27, after leaving Harrisburg at three A. M., of the fftth, and were at once assigned to duty in the hos pitals with Pennsylvania troops, their services being commended by the medioal director. Leaving Philadelphia March 27, after placing the sick from Camp Curtin in the United States general hospital at Philadelphia, I reached Winchester March 30, travel being much interrupted by the war. I found over 300 badly-wounded men, about SO of whom were Pennsylvanians, with but very few surgeons. As the batile was unaspsetsd, proper provisions had not been made for the wound ed, and their sufferings were great, it beiog impos sible to obtain food, beds, Ac. All Sunday I as sisted iB operations for their relief, and, with con sent of United States, and their manifest relief, prepared to bring all Pennsylvanians, wounded and able to bear transportation, to their own soil. Enclosed I forward a list of the wounded of the Eighty-fourth and One-hund-ed-and-tenth, to-day brought to Philadelphia. They are all seriously infilled, were in danger of their lives, but evi dently improved by removal. I also brought three of the officers of the Regiment, Indiana, whose thighs were broken by shot. They are flue officers, very grateful for the services ren* tiered, and will pay their own board. The Gover* tor of Indiana will recoguize the attention to brave men who supported our troops in the hour of dan ger. I hope you will be able to visit the hospital, and cheer those who have honored , the State. I visited the battle-field, and am satisfied that the bayonet charge of tho Eighty-fourth Regiment was a brilliant one for any troops. All laud them. Many of tbe men want clothing, Ac., haying tori} and lost on the field that which they had. I also brought home tho following corpses: Colledge, of Hopewell; Croft and Fergusson. Hopewell; Homersboueh, Phillipsburg; Limber ii»j Cambriai Everly, Tyrone; Leibrieh, Jersey Shore, to be buried at Harrisburg; John Prosser, Bloomsburg; Heilerman, Hollidaysburg; Jamos Koon, Hughesville, Lycoming, near Muncy. These bodies will bo embalmed in twenty-four hours, and in coffins ready for their friends. The cost of coffins and embalming will be about $5 each. They will keep for weeks. Many of the dead of the Eighty-fourth could not be obtained, owing to difficulty in obtaining a fatigue party to dig them up, in the disturbed state of an advancing army. At Baltimore the Union men gayo much relief to our wounded at midnight. I forward official lists of the casualties in the Eighty-fourth and One Hundred and Tenth, to re lieve the anxiety of friends applying to yea for iQ formutton, Acting under extreme difficulties, the result of my efforts to comply with your orders will, I trust; be satisfactory to you and the Legislature. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. Henry H, Smith, ' Surgeon General or Pennsylvania. To His Excellency A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania. Ail. ExiraordinaTy Sank Robbery. UNCLE SAM’S SOLDIERS USED TO CARRY OUT THE One of the most bare faced bank robberies we ever hoard of took place at St. Louis, Missouri, on the 27th of March. The chief actor was a mere boy named Redman. The city being under martial law, and a very sharp lookout being kept after Se cessionists, the youngster forged an order of the provost marshal; askmg a muitary officer in com* maud in the city for a squad of sis men to aid In the arrest of Mr. Hammer, of the firm of Hammer & Co., bankers, on a charge of disloyalty to the Government. Not being altogether satisfied with the aspect of the provost marshal's signature to the request, the officer applied to refused to detail the men. Another forgery enabled Redman to procure the services of a squad of men from ft Wisconsin regiment, who accompanied him to tho banking house, which is situated in one of tho most crowded thoroughfares of the city. Stationing the guard at the door, Redman entered and informed Mr. Hummer that he was a prisoner. Mr. Hammer asked an explanation. This was refused him, and he was told to go instantly with the guard; The hanker began to put up his bills and gold, but that was what the young scoundrel did not want above all things, and accordingly he forbade it. Resistance only brought the guard with their bristling bayonets, and Hammer, at the risk of im- P&leihehi, threw what he could readily catch up into the safe and locked it. On being ordered to open it he refused, but was obliged to give up the key. The lock being a combination one, Redman could not open it) although he tried very hard. Hammer was commanded to unlock the safe, but that he abso lutely refused to do, and was given over to the guard, who took him to a place of custody. Mean while Redman gathered up what money was left— some s2.2sQ—pwkvtw it. He then made his way cooliy through the crowd around the door and effected his escape. While the act of plunder was going on, a partner in the bank ran to the provost marshal to learn the cause of the sudden and unjust arrest of the head of the firm, when he discovered that no order had been issued for Mr. Hammer's arrest. »The St. Louis J\ r ews, which gives the his tory of the affair of which the above is the sub * stance, says: “ further inquiries showed that there was some* thing wrong, and upon sending an order to the guard for the release of the prisoner, about four o’clock in the afternoon, the denouement of tho plot was reached- The banker had been robbed and imprisoned ; Uusle Sam’a troops had been used to do the work, and the bold scamp who planned and executed the daring scheme bad, for the time, escaped. Notwithstanding his good luck, however, he has since been arrested, and will shortly enact the next scene in the drama he so successfully began. He has earned a plase in the penitentiary, and a position among the first oracksmen of the age.” Statistics op Pree Negro Population.— Prom the subjoined table, whi<?h TVS CQJBpile trom the census of 1800, It will bo seen that the free no* gro population of the slaveholding States is consi derably in excess over that of the non-slavehold ing States.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN LEADER ON THE ISSUES OF THE BAT. Speeoh of Senator Sherman, of Ohio, From the great speech of the Hon. John Khermau, or Ohio, delivered in the Senate on Wednesday, wo make the follow ing extract: Tn« DEiCiSFITS OF EMANCIPATION, If the State of Maryland will hut try the experiment that, has l>ren tried in other Staten, they will find the be nefits of thia policy of emancipation There was iu rim Stflto of Ohio a very lareu proportion nf thu Stato ml iwjdt? for VirginiuTiK, called the Virginia Military Dis trict. Weftrly all nf the people jf that portion nf the State of Ohio are the (IrßcrmdantH nf Virginian*. They have gone there with (heir nlnves.

Tim MODERATION OF TIN! REMNIM/'AN PAttf V. If the Republican party has been didtinguhbed for anything at all, it has been tor Us moderation, almost Us timidity. It has never assumed an affirmative policy on ibid i{ueidjt»n of hi a. very biitce its orguuiz.uliun to thia hour—never. It has always been defensive. It has never affirmed a single proposition of a legislative character until this proposition to abolish slavery in tho District of Columbia ib brought forward, perhaps as a Republican muuupa, or at Jwud it it 111 Uu valud fop b? the body 6f IlepUblte&riSi. Iu the whole coutest in regard to Kansas, it was simply defensive. In the Le compton controversy, and in all the controversies tb.it have occurred in regard to slaves and slavery since the organization of the Republican party* it has been purely and simply a defensive organization. I think the Senator will find great difficulty in pointing out the allegations for his indictment to show that this party ever proposed any offensive or aggressive measure of any kind what ever iu regard to slavery in the I have ha«i the honor of holding a seat in Congress since the organization of tho Republican party, and I know, from observation here, that this party, as » politi cal organization, lias never proposed any aggressive measure. It has always bean defensive. It has stood hero fighting with the prt-jndlce.H of Ihe popple of thia District against it, with a powerful Democratic organiza tion oga-nst it, with a strong caste in tho Southern States against it. simply on the defensive in endeavoring to prevent the extension of slavery, and to prevent the rmliwtl CTprllitw »f a line wtiicli lias been framed by our fathers against the extension of slavery north and west of Missouri. Ido not know any measure on which it lias taken un aggressive position. Mr. DAVIS. Will the geutlenmn allow me to make a disclaimer? 1 did sot intend to impute against the Re publican party that line of policy. I only intended to make that imputation against tho Abolition party. I tnist that there is bow a line of separation between the Republican party and ihe Abolition party. Mr. SHERMAN. Will. Mr. President, I know it is easy to state distinctions of this kind j but iu my experience our opponents h»vn generally denounced us under What ever name they chese to call us, and put us all iu tho same category. They do not draw very uice distinctions. As for example, the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Simmer,) as be lifts a perfect right to do, introduced a series of resolutions giving his idea &b&ut the effect of the war upon the political status of the States, aud at once those resolutions arc seized upon as the dogma of the Republican party, and we are denounced for them, although candid men must know that they aro but the fißßimtiQTi of ft sinsls iitfiYiduftli who bus decided convic • tioim ou this subject, mid who is far in advance of any political organization iu this couutry. Now, Mr. President, in the platform of the Republican party, at Chicago, we adopted a resolution which declared in the h rongest teims, and in the most emphatic lan guage, ihe rights of the States. After Mr* Lincoln's) election, it was manifest that we were in the face ef a civil war; the plot of these seceding traitors bad begun t’ be developed. They had aided us in the election of Mr. Lincoln. Such iutn as Keltt and that class of sece ding conspirators in Hie Southern States* for the purpose ol exciting the prejudices of the Southern people, after misrepresenting the Republican party, and making it a bugbear in tbe Southern States, then aided the Repub lican paity in gaining apolitical victory. After hav ing accomplished that purpose, they sought to overthrow tho Government,, because the Republican party had sue* ceeded. REPUBLICAN KINDNESS TO THE DEMOCRACY* Not only that, sir ] this Republican party, which is tho bugbear of ail tbe Southern i*eople, is tho most liberal of all to political adversaries. Who is at tho head of your army, dlaptoulcg patronage with a lordly band ’ A De mocrat appointed by a Republican Administration. Who receive that patronage ’ Who hold the high offices in your Government I Who fill the affices in your various Departments here l The majority of them Democrats, men who hissed koiiiblicans here over and over main in the other House. Was theta ever such forbearance I What Republicans dispense your patronage Why, sir* bo anxious was the Republican party to conciliate the conservative sentiment of the Northern States and the geutimeut of tho Southern States, that u r o ohoeo as stan dard bearer a gentleman who hod but little experience in public life, who had given no cause of prejudice, whd was himself a Kentuckian by birth, who was but two yoarsin Congress, who had no record certainly against slavery: and he, following the same policy, bus revived many gen tituien of the past generation, and placed them in power around him. We do not complain of that. I simply in troduce it to dhow that there never was a party more magnanimous, more liberal, amt more generous to every body but its oflu personal and partisan friends. DEMOCRACY AND DISU.YIO-V. Now, sir, 1 li&ve no right to com plain of tho reorgani zation of tilt) Democratic party, or anything that belongs to it. It is very well known that I never belonged to the Democratic party, and have no sympathy with it. Al though some ot its members are my personal friend*, yet 1 t»ve no faith id it. Ajl the bisuaiouicts, eo far aa j know ; ail the men who are row fighting against the Go vernment—or the great body of tlem; I will not eay all—were certainly members of that party. 1 do uot know that a einglo member of tbe Republican party—the organization to which I am croud to belonjb=svui? took up arms against bis Government, or ever threatened to take up arms against his Government 1 have shown you, sir, by facts that no man can controvert, that there never was a party more liberal and generous to opea enemies and manly foes, or to political adversaries. In dffd, v.*e have. surrendered them every tiling j >yy fiayt} given them oflices, honor, power, patronage, in a self sacrificing spirit without exampe. 1 do not care how soon they reorganize the o'd Democratic party. I wish they would. But does it uot show to us. Republican Senators, that it is Hweu&sy, If tbit u done, that we {should have a party organization: that instead of wau dering some bore, some there, some everywhere, we should guy what we will stand upon, and what we ought to do on various questions growing out of the prosocution of this war I 1 am williug. on those positions! to co» opei ate with any one without reviving old party ties. A DEFINITE POLICY I say, then, Mr. President, that it ia iraportaut that the party controlling the action of this Government should have a definite policy. \Ye cajjjjjf j|jS fOs epoccibility, and vr? plight B9v tV 40 59 if W 6 COUUL IYO aiein the majority in this body. We are in the majority in the other lior.ee. Wo have a Bepublican Administra tion. If we do not show to the people of the United States thttt we have a d< finite policy, and have manhood to stand hy ife and iutelligonoa enough to admitiUto? it, we ought to be overthrown. I would uot weep over tho grave of a party that will not stand by its friends and stand by its principles and stand by its positions. I would not belong to a parly that has not the manhood to proclaim ail That it intends to do, all that it seeks to ac complish, and to us© its power to accomplish that pur pose. Parties can only he justified when they are Used ns instruments to accomplish some great purpose; and unless we use ours to accomplish some uoble and great purpose, the Republican parly will melt away like a storm of snow on a blight Aprilday. \Ve ought to adopt a policy, and adhere to it Lei me state some few simple propositions that we ought to adopt, and then I shall not trespass further on the Senate. OUR DUTY TO SLAVERY We ought now to abolish slavery in this District. We fiftTP til? right) anil it ia our duty to do it; and if tve had wasted less time in doing it, it would probably be just as well. We ought, then, religiously to adhere to the promises we made to the people of this country wlieu Mr. Lincoln was elected President. We ought religious ly to abstain from all interference with the domestic insti tutions of the slave or the free Stfttes, "We ought to atftlld hy the Constitution as it is, hy the Union aa it is. Whether rebtls are in arms or not, our duty is to stand by our pledges, to stand by our manhood; and I, for one, will do it. No temptation shall swerve mo from that straight and narrow path. Our recorded promise ia not only a bond of political faith, ft fa wd Qfhonor, binding on us as honorable men to each oilier and tO OUl' com try. We must not be driven to interfere with the relation of master and slave, or with any other local in stitution of any State, one step further than the Con stitution gives us the ju3t authority and power to do. TUB RESOLUTION 01‘ THE PRESIDENT. But it is said that this resolution of the President now before ub looks to interference with slavery \n the Stated. Ido not so construe it. It does not assert the power or advise us to interfere with slavery In the States. On the eoutranvit by necessary ittiplleattoh &4 as express denial dei ies the power. The language Is, that the United States ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery. If tho State of Manla.».d should, in its wisdom, see fit to com mence a system of gradual emancipation of slaves, would they hot have the right to call upon us for aid and as sistance ? We here announce, beforehand, that we will give them pecuniary aid, but uot until they call for it. It Is right that we Bhould announce that doctrine. It is right that they should inaugurate that system: and I believe that in the providence of Almighty God the sys tem Trill be inaugurated more rapidly ovun thau we ndu* h. pefor. THE WRONG 0T SLAVERY But, sir, there is another reason why this Government ought to aid the Border States wlitnovet theydesiro it, in emancipating slaves. It is a reason higher thflU ftßy OlheF fitorely pecuniary reason, it is oue which is implanted in the minds of tho civilized world. Slavery is wrong. That is a reason that stands hack of all others; one which would induce me, as a member of a Christina civil'zed community, to expend the aid wheu it is a;ked, not before; because I have no power to do it before Sl&Vei-y Is wroDg. That is the moral conviction of our people. It is the tuoiai conviction of the civilized world. England, France, aud all the countries vhose commer cial sympathies are with the South, dislike to aid the South, because they would thereby .tid slavery. Wher evor you find that sentiment peyyadifjg al] fifties pf ciety, there must he some foundation for it. There is no class of people in the world who defend slavery except the Southern slaveholders. THE DANGER OP MAKING STATES TERRITORIES 1, therefore, cannot help but say that, while I rospect lliS motive*of ike honorable Senator from wkilo I give him credit for consistency, ability, and a great deal of culture, and am always glad to hear him speak, ;6t I must confess that, When J looked oypf big resolutions, they'struck mo with surprise and regret. They would revolutionize this Government, Sir, strike the States out of this ayatwii of government, aud your Government is lost and gone. I -cannot conceive of the United States governing colonies aud provinces contain ing millions upon millions of people, black and white. Ido not think such a thing can exist. Ido not believe ii is iu the power of Secession to bring us to such a state Of tilings. 1 can draw no distinction between the reso lutions of the Senator from Massachusetts and the doc tribes that are proclaimed by JeffVrsou Davis. If a State can secede, the people of the State can make a new government. If the people of South Carolina are firm aud united in their policy, which no man doubts: if they hat'© power to secede, they f.tWs seceded, and their doc trine is true. But Ido not believe they have the power to secede. They may go in banishment, wandering all over the face of tho earfb»-JWrt they cannot take with them a eitigla foot of tho I .soil 6f this country over which our flag ever floated.- The doctrine of the Senator from M aseachutfetto la sAbelaatiwlly an acknowledgment of the right of Secession, of the right to secede, lie, how ever, puts the States in the condition of abject Territories, to be governed by Congress. Jefferson Davis puts it in the power of the people of the States to govern the States ihemeelves. As to which is the most dangerous or ob- IIOXiOUS doctrine, I leave OVOty man to determine.
