Elp Vre.ss. FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1862 AT LAwr, we have a gleam of light from the mountains of East Tennessee! No peo ple have been so sadly oppressed as the loyal citizens of that beautiful.distriet. heel of tyranny has Leon upon theft neck since the beginning of this strife, and their oppressors have tortured them with the most malignant hatred and persistent cruelty. In the dark his or, of this rebellion nothing will he read win more horror and detestation than the chapter whiCh tells of the sufferings, the patience, the endurance, and the loyalty of this noble race of men. Amid tempta tions and oppressions such as no pee ; ple have ever experienced, they have remained true even unto imprisonment and death. The thrilling narrative of Parson BROWNLOW has immortalized the devotion of his fellow-sufferers; and it will be glad tidings for his soul today to read the glowing de spatch which . came over the wires •at an early hour. this morning.. We have read nothing since the beginning of this contest with such an ecstasy of joy, as wo read the brief account of General NEGLEY'S triumph. East Tennessee has been liberated, and by a Pennsylvania general. We are proud of the iiONTO T om•fos.‘44l- IT is a terrible recording angel, this War. Its eyes may be full of tears, its dark brows corrugated with pain, its lips oniorering with suppressed agony of pity, yet its hand never falters ; upon the great wall of the Past, the adamantine bonier of growing History, it Maces, with deliberate surety, the awful record of heroism and cowardice, the serene sacrifice of conscious courage, the desperate tion of impetuous impulse, things done and things attemptid, plans fulfilled and plans frustrated, honesty and peculation, patriotism and traitorous corruption—all are registered in the heart-language of the race and in cha meters where sharp outlines can never be blurred by any national vicissitude. Woo to him whose perfidy is there blazoned to all coming time ! Happy lie whose truth of heart and power of mind are there made a rich le gacy for unborn generations ! The anna's of the crisis through which we are passing are the most varied, the most vivid, ever written by War. The world has no parallel to the extent and the degree of the treachery disclosed by the last few months; but neither bas it such sublime recoids"of in corruptible manhood. If it has its Gosport, it has, too ; its Monroe. It Mimeos the base surrender of Pensacola by the heroic retention of Sumpter. It contrasts LEE with LYON ; BucuANAN with LINCOLN. It puts side by side the raid of EWELL and the retreat of BANKS ; the retreat of JACKSON and the ad• vance of Fannioxv. • It is to this latter operation that we wish to call special attention. The retreat of Gon. BANKS has been thoroughly discussed, and has taken definite bhape in the public mind as one of the most masterly movements of the war. The ct iron mania" name is already gloriously chiselled in iron. But the advance of Grew Banton, having been through a region less known and less near, has not received that meed of praise to which a detailed , examina tion of the difficulties suimounted and the re sults achieved would entitle it. Tho data, though confused, are now sufficient for us to understand The movement; they are scattered over the letters of many correspondents. We give this succinct abstract of them. At the time. General FREMONT received or- ders from the Waa Department to move to the rescue of BANKS, or the chastisement of JACK SON, his army was at Franklin, in the centre of Pendleton connty, Virginia. The phce is only forty.fiye milts south of the extreme western boundary of Maryland, but between it and that State stretch innumerable spurs of mountain ridges. Pendleton county is hemmed in_ on the east by the Shenandoah mountains, on tha_ west by the Alleahanyi_ while I.l".nuou_ityin. serrts.S - 61 - iidges, appro priately described by the name Fork Moil& tains, and others entitled, with sly sar cum, Bull Pasture Mountains. JACK SON was at this time at Winchester, north east of FREMONr. Faxmoyes . eyident course was, theret ore, to move down Ma southeaster ly direction to Harrisonburg, make there a junction with lkicDowcnn, and, intercepting Jacssorr, compel hint to fight his way through the •united forces or surrender. But Mc- Dowenn could not get any respectable body there in time; and it was Impossible for FRB stostr to move an inch further south. He was' already seventy miles from his base of sup plies—separited from them by mountain-roads of such impassability that his little army had been for a week within two days of starvation. It was exhausted by the forced marches re cently made to rescue SCHENCK. and Minicoy; it had not transportation adequate for a third of its force, and between over-work and under rations, was in no • state to move any where, oven - under the most favorable condi tion of travel. Besides, by moving southeast erly, the General would be separating himself still further from his supplies; the country being utterly exhausted, he would have to cross the Shenandoah at a very difficult point, and risk a problematical junction with Mc- Dowsu. The.practical exigencies of his situ ation comyelkd him, therefore, to choose the tedious alteniative of encompassing three sides of a square; instead of making a short-cut of the fourth. Who can believe that, receiving his orders late on Saturday night; with his army so worn, and ti e chances of co-operation so un certain, Fnsuosr's plans were determined and digested with such rapid precision, his infinite practical arrangements made with such tnergefc despatch, that bis troops were in full motion on Sunday morning, shaping their route'due north for Petersburg. Amid constant rains, with food anything but con stant, over reads cut and gullied by the army transporta' ion of months—wet, jaded, hungry, sick, an unfaltering will, an unflinching pur pose, a big, brave heart, pushed these men on to Petersburg; Into the town they trailed on Monday—still willing, but really too weak, for an immediate further advance. But they halted Only till Tuesday, beginning then their easterly course. One mountain ridge after another • is left behind; toil, pri vation, sufTerirg, are endured patiently —for ,Jacxsos and the Shenandoah valley are beyond. Knapsacks, stores, tents, and all un necessary impedimenta are left behind. The work is earnest, and the men earnestly band themselves to it; svi h light bias and light hearts they r 4 sum the march. Friday sees them at Wardensville ; on Saturday they tri- umphattly stand on the ridge that overlooks the valley_ snJurtawl_r.,-, ec. - erritod - the afternoon they camp, for the first time in months, on a plain. But there is na'rest for them. They are at an important junction of roads; ono to Win chester leads northeast; , one to Strasburg, southeast. They are in the midst of the foe. Again, the tireless daring of this man! Hav ing accomplished, with exhausted forces, over a hundred incredible miles in seven days, he. yet ventures to attack JACKSON, and actually defeats his rear-guard! But, meanwhile, the bulk of the. rebel army passes down to Stras burg In the cleverest nick of time, BIcDowELL Banking it on the east, FREMONT °lithe west, but, ununited;unable to stay its course. It is evident that no human efforts could have got a mile more out of Framosx's men than that general actually obtained; but it is equally clear that if the 'junction with Ma- Dowsrz had been made a day earlier, JAcs- sox's whole force would have been captured or dispersed. We may learn critical charity hom the thwarting, by circumstances, of such indomitable genius, when we take down our maps and rave, amid fireside comfort, because g: JACKSON is not intercepted." Ab, the brilliant marauder's pinnies are dampened ! Ilia boasted • crowing has sub- sided into an impatient cackle! A race for life down the valley I The rapid raid a more rapid retreat ! The pursuit of five thousand men is one thing ; being pursued by-twenty live thousand quite another. An advance brigade of IticDowKLL meets FREXONT at Strasburg, awl the united forces push on. Desperately enough, too, to keep up with the frightened. JACKSON! For Samna is on the east . side ,of the mountains, seeking a chalice to cross, and there is a longioadyet be tween Strarbuig and Charlottesville. The rebel is compellt d to destroy many of the stores just captured with such hurrahs . ; prisoners taken by him escape in .the cenfusion caused by the bard pressit g columns in the rear, and join our lints; and beyond Strasburg, the rear-guard is again defeated. Onward still both parties press—the recently victorious and well-sup plied tebtls, and the worn and hungry Fede ral. A: race for the bridges ! So desperate that that at Woodstock we save, and that at Mount Jackson we Vicki, rebuild. Let it be remembered that Fasmosr is marching tbrrugk a country wholly pinndered by the rebel force in front, and is distant a hundred and fluty 'miles from his depot of supplies. Nevertheless, he fights and wins another bat 7 tle, and still follows every inch of the rebel march to Harrisonburg. lie is now beyond all previous Federal advance, and, in ,comme moration 'of it, adds another victory to his list. Meanwhile, Sumps has been keeping up a parallel march the other aide of the mountains, not daring to risk the time for crossing. The ridge molts away at Harrison burg, and as the rebel marches down to the Shenandoah at Port Republic, SHIELDS comes in just at his rear. But be has only a hand ful of men in his advance, and Is thrown back to the main force, after fighting of fierce desperation. . Here the game is probably ended. Jac:a- SON holds the bridge across the Shenandoah, and is within, ehort distance of Charlottes ville, where he will be safe. What is the result of his raid ? He captired some eight hundred prisoners; of these, two hundred have es. taped, and wo hold at least six hundred of his men leaving no balance in his favor. He injured us slightly _by destruction of stores ;, mot, than repaid him at Milford and Conrad's Store; and, if we had paid a hundred fold dearer for the raid, it would cheaply have bought the exhibition of such generalship as that of BANKS and of Furs 3101IT. THE SPEECH of Mr. Senator FESSESDES, which we published on Wednesday,. is an im portant chapter in the history of this era, and we recur to it to-day for the purpose of pre• seating some thoughts it suggests to us. It is one of those efforts which are commended to us more by-the honesty and force of the author than the mere declamation and rhetoric. We have read nothing more characteristic of the Senator froin Maine than this elaborate and, at the same time, hurried defence of his tax bill. He gives us the poetry of figures. We are not startled by long columns of dreary statistics, nor arc we overwhelmed by a multitude of harsh, forbidding facts. He tells the country very frankly what the Government expects it to do. There is no burden made ht avy ; there is none treated with indifference or neglect. If we want to know the real rnonetaty troubles of this war, we may look at tbe - spr ech of Senator FESSENDEH. If we are arixious to see really what we have gained, the sentences of the Senator will be. abun dantly sad:factory: lie had a tempting theme. 'Had he been a more ambitious man he might have been prophetic and oracular; he might have advaneed new theories, and crowded the Senate journal with strange and peculiar laws. It was an opportunity that few public men have ever enjoyed, and it is to the praise of the Senator from Maine that he has not abused it. - The Senator makes one point very strongly, in the course of his speech, and-that is the ne cessity of meeting this tax bill as a sacred and patriotic duty. If we can only educate our selves to take this view of the subject, there will be no further trouble. We must strip this tax question Of any unpleasant imaginary features. We must not allow it. to become the selfish instrument of unscrepulous politi cians. There is a fianger of its being a far more potent enemy of the Administration than any intrigue or machination of the rebel leaders. In the hands of a great political party, antagonistic to the• interests of the Union, the .tax question would be danger oils. They could poison the minds of the people by appealing to their ignorance and 'pandering to their cupidity. The poor, the lowly, the selfish, the unscrupulous, all who have their bread to earn or money to Make, will be open to the seducing efforts of such men.. If we only follow the lesson so 'plainly and forcibly taught by the Senator from Maine ; it will be in. our_pewer to mee -thc.e eemagogues - as - oecofirda their treachery and faithlessness. It will be in our power to '.be strong and united in making sacrifices of money and means, as heretifore we have been strong and united in sacrificing our lives and the lives of our children. We have presented One example of magnanimity and courage to the world, which will live through all time. When Ft•rt Sumpter fell the people rose and laid their lives_ at the feet of the Republic. .We can only do one thing more. We can 'bow the. earnestness of our sacrifice then, and'our devotion and sincerity now, by accept ing boldly and without mbrmur the tax bill of Congress. Is it not rather a proud privilege we eujoy. • in being enabled to make these sacrifices ? Are •we not fortunate in having a country and a cause to sustain ? While our brothers are enduring privation and hardship, and under going-danger and death, should we hesitate to give of 'our substance and store to Sustain them What would be lands and leases, and accumulations of money and se curities, if the Government came to an end ? What would be all the countless gains of the merchant prince if a triumphant rebellion would be permitted to desolate and appropri ate? Let us ask ourselves those questions when we conie to consider the tix bill. They have been answered by Senator FESSENDEN, and every-patriot in the country *ill approve of his response. , Iv TILE not very probable event of the' de feat, arid consequent disruption, of Lord PALMERSTON'S Administration, it will become a clues tion, who shall succeed? The Earl of DERIII has twice been Prime Minister—name ly, from March until Dec.ember, 1852, and from Af arch - 1858 to June 1858—and, as the recog nized head of the Conservative party, would probably be again placed at the bead of the British Government r , always provided that Queen Vrcrionts, who must be pretty well t red of mere party strife, should not prefer placing a moderate man, such as the Duke of Ntwonsmn or Lord CARNING, at the helm. At all events, should there be a change of Mi nistry, Mr. Disitaxm may safely calculate upon being counted.in with the new-comers. In what capacity? He has twice served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, truth to say, made such a mess of it each time as might be expected from a gentleman to whom a simple sum in the rule of three must have been as difficult as the pans azinorurn is to juvenile students of Euclid. Indeed, as recent accounts from England informus,Mr.Disasnu has no ambition again to take the financial department, but rather aspires to the more lucrative and dignified_offine„of_Ambanador The salary is about -£'12,000 per annum, with certain pecuniary allowances extra, besides £2,000 for an outfit, and a splendid mansion, rent free and handsomely furnished, in the Rue du Faubourg St. Ho nore, which was the residence of PArntsr BorsArenrx until 1814, when it was purchased by the British Government. It is within a few doors of the Palais de PElysee Imperial, which was Lours NaroLzort's favorite resi dence while President of the French Repub lic. Mr. DISRAELI, to our certain knowledge, is impressed with the conviction that he was intended by Nature for • a diplomale ) and he has just sufficient admiration of NAPennox 111. to make his official residence la Paris pleasant as well as profitable. It the Conservatives should obtain t office just now, which is not very 'probable, two gen tlemen have been mentioned for the Finance Department. One is Lord. STANLEY, the eldest son of the Earl of DERBY, and one of the ablest among the young British statesmen. He is only thirty-six years of age, but has' already been Colonial Secretary and Minister for Indian Affairs. It is most likely that he Would prefer resuming the last-named office. It is understood, in the political circles of London, that the proximate Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a Conservative Cabinet, would be Sir STAFFORD NORTECOTE, a Devonshire baronet of considerable wealth, who now re presents the borough of Stamford in Parlia ment. He is in his forty-fourth year; has had some years' experiemce in the House of Com mons graduated 'at Oxford with classical and mathematical honors, was private Secretary to Mr. GLADSTONE when that gentleman was President of the Board of Trade in 1843—'45, and was,. Fieancial Secretary•to the Treasitry from January to June, 1859, under Lord Dvnnt's second administration. He has shown himself an advanced statesman in educational extension and legal re form, and is so apt at finance that, on a recent occasion, when Mr. GLADSTONE'S Budget bad to be assailed, Mr. DISRAELI, who bad prepared to make the attsek, permitted Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE to do it, which he did in a manner not at all gratifying to the Whig Ministry, inasmuch as he found out every weak point in his adversary's armor, and an noyed him exceedingly with a numb r of small wounds. As a speaker, however, be is not generally a very formidable .opponent. His delivery is cold, his manner stiff, his voice brassy, and his ser.tencei too long. Yet, as one of the best in?ormed men in the House of Commons, and notoriouily.,apitirate in his statements of facts, :wherias Guantrrorts em broiders and P.araisa - irox . ridicules the truth, Sir STAFFORD always commands the attention of the House. A short, stout, ungraceful, speetacled gentleman, ever at DISRAELI'S side, to post him up. Ton,hicts and figures," Sir STAFFORD NORTHCCiTE, we understand, is al ready marked out as Chancellor of the Ex chequer should the Palmerston Cabinet ha dis solved—a contingency not to be caleulated upon, even after fresh defeats, while the Queen is notoriously in a state of such considerable mental excitement that quiet is essential to her health. IF nolo were wanted any single charac teristic of man which should instantly and en tirely separate him from all the other orders of creation, his tendency to contrive and con struct would beat fulfil the condition. Other animals arc a part of nature ; they seem but an exhibition of her forces in higher forms; they reproduce the functions of the vegetable world, adding no new property except locomo tion. They are dependent on nritare for ma terial existence, and their only act beyond the mere sustenance of life, by appropriation of food, is the exercise of inatinct in obtain ing the one and preserving the other. But man's relations are infinitely diverse and com plicate, not only by reason of his higher animal organization, which, creating more varied wants, demands a more varied supply, but because of that which constitutes him man and puts him in connection with his fellows. In man we meet, for the first time, a mastery of nature; and the adapting of natural force, to human purposes makes up the bulk of our industrial employments. Unfortunately, man is not contented with this simple assertion of reason over nature; his insatiable ingenuity seeks to convert social forces, also, into machine-work, and thus to Make the State ono vast system of political wheels and gearing. Some one's ambition subjugates a nation—forthwith individual will is annihilated ; men are only material to be moulded by imperial contriving; their im pulses are made to develop the idea of .a king, and to continue the motion originated. by monarchical will. Such machines are hor ribly unnatural, since they contradict the fundamental characteristic of humanity. They are built upon the supposition that men are mere animals or inanimate. Their motive power is not drawn from their constitution, but is derived from without; neither has it re gard to differences of constitution, but is in all cases the same—one domineering will— relying for success the accuracy of parts adjusted as if they were dead matter shaped . for and adapted to% special purposes. As a consequence, if any part fail, the whole ma chine •is thrown into confusion; and, having no recuperative power within itself, it can be rearranged only by the power that formed it. If the breakage be considerable, apd tho ma terials prove refractory, the disorder over virlelms the master-mind; the boasting will that thought itself omnipotent, be comes the dupe of its own self-deception, is caught in the whirling mazes which itself set goiog—and the State is a wreck. Then en sues an era of anarchy and riotous perplexity, till the parts are, by sheer collision and attri tion, enough broken and worn away tor a new machinist of souls to gather them up and re construct them. Such is the history of monarchies, and such, we believe, the cause of their rapid and hope less destruction, when once the work of de- moralization of parts has begun. - A republic is exactly opposed to this—in its formative and its regulative principles. It is that government, and the only -government, ;WO recoznizesman - as - tr - rewrieil having all the powers necessary for his de velopment and his regeneration within. him self. A Republic is, indeed, an ideal nutea man freed from personal imperfections, anl drawn upon a large sca:e. 'The relations of it parts are not mechanical but vital. - It, is not moved by an external power, but by the intrinsic forces of its organism. For the stiff and unalterable exactness of machine-work, it substitutes the equally ,preciie but easier play of harmonious life-functions. 'lt readily adapts itself to the changing exigencies of political times and customs, and, if injured, kas an innate Power to heal the wound or stop the disease before it seriously threaten life. Like the monarchical machine, it is disturbed by. the damage of apart ; but unlike it, it is-not whol ly destroyed if even a Majority of its parts are working unhoalthfully. Its power, being but the aggregate power of the individuals composing it, cannot exert itself in any special direction without exerting itself indirectly in all directions ; it is, therefore, sanative while acquisitive; it heals wounds in one part by giving additional nourishment to another. These reflections have been suggested by the extensive discussion, •public and private; of the question—Will it be possible to rule the conquered States ? If the foregoing re marks are founded in truth, they suggest at once the reply to the'curreiat doubt of the day. Our Republic is an organism, not a machine, and has an innate recuperative power. The forces that fashioned it, being intrinsic,. must continue it. Lithe means be demanded, the answer is evident. Whatever great operative principles of political economy conduce to the welfare of other States gain double force in ours; for other States, formed by outside power, give themselves laws in order to adapt themselves to forces ; we find-our laws through the deve lopment of our forces. Now, the great law that creates and guides all political existence is the law of selfishness; by each man's taking care of number one, every State,•in a material way, takes care of itself. This is the law. which, -with easy precision, solves the intricate problems of national and social economy: Under its influence the perplexing difficulties of commerce unroll clear and straight; the relations of manufactures and trades would be impossible without it ; and all the infinite entanglements of opposite and rival aims become wealth-laden blessings as they obey this law. If; then, it is the grand and suc cessful operative principle of other States, whose parts are but dead fractions of a me chanical whole, how much greater will be its force ar.d its attainment among us whose parts are contributive to one great organism, and to whom law u force? If once:the avenues to Southern trade are completely in our hands, bread-and-butter—which, op a large scale, and with a large name, is called Political Economy —will bring our brethren back quickly enough to their allegiance. There is no gainsaying this. • The world has been trying the ex periment ever since it was created, and gives but one answer. All political science and calculations are founded upon this univer sal experience—that than does that, and only that, which conduces to his comfort and hap piness. We buy in the market where we can buy cheapest; we sell where we can sell to the best advantage. The stringency and univer sality of this principle admit no excep!ion to it; all other influences, in comparison with this, are as nothing. It is the great and be neficent law of the world, and will assert itself notwithstanding individual caprice and Mo mentary or partial counter agencies. Pa triotism dies before it, because patri otism is a matter purely personal. A single man, or a band of men, may starve in the mountains in defence of country ; but a whole State can never be trusted for such a sacrifice. A may, therefore, be confidently repeated that we are fighting only to give Political Economy a chance to subdue the South. We are only trying, and need only try, to bring this wildly-oicillating pendulum of rebellion near the great force of civic gravi tation ; then we shall see its arcs grow smaller and weaker, and the South, once more fairly suspended, drew a plumb -line pointing to the centre of the Republic. .

If we except the traitors themselves, no people have lost so much in the war for the preservation of the American Union -as the. English. They have lost the respect of every civilized nation by the arrogance, di , simula tion, and faithlessness of their leaders. Itis as difficult to satisfy the the British statesmen as it is to reason with the rebel slaveholders. If the Federal army were•to open every Southern port and to fill the British market with- all the cotton required to supply the British rnanu factories, tbere would be left among the aris tocratic classes of the United Kingdom an unconquerable hatred and envy of this coun try. In the hour of our weakness Great Bri tain insulted and degraded ns, and in the hour of our victory, although every other civilized nation admits that our Government his proved its magnanimity and its power, England alone continues to falsify, to ridicule, and to depreciate the conduct of Mr. Lincoln's Ad ministration, and the triumphs of oar armies. In one of the last numbers of the London Times this premium falsehood is deliberately uttered : cc At this moment it is the whole world against the South." Opposed to this malicious misstatement is the fact that, with one or two exceptions, there is not a foreign Power in North or South America that does not sympathize with the rebellion. After the seizure of Slidell and Mason it was almost unsafe for American gen tlemen to remain in London. They were ex eluded from society, assailed in Parliament, and pointed at in the streets. The anxiety to Involve our country in a conflict with Eng land was universal, and when the twin con spirators were surrendered this feeling was followed by the bitterest disappointthent. Tht moral example of the United States from that day—the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia—the emancipation message of Pre sident • Lincoln—the forbearance of our mili tary leaders after every great success—the wonderful results that have crowned the la bors of the Secretary of the Treasury, and even the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade between the United States and her Britannic Majesty, ratified in London on the 20th ult., have made no more impression upon the British statesmen, and, it would seem, upon the British people, than if they had been so many acts of cruelty and bad faith. It would be unnatural if this record did not pro duce an all-pervading dislike and contempt for Gre at Bt Rain among the otherPofers. What its effect upon the American people must be it re quires no prophet to anticipate. Duty to our selves will compel such preparations as will ena ble us effectively to resist any sudden attack upon ourterritory orourrights. Eng4.4(l's mis take has been a double mistake, 'lei friendly aid extended one year ago Would have annihi lated the rebellion and insured' her own inter nal prosperity, and had she struck us then she might have forced a recognition of the Con federacy; but she has waited long enough to see Secession expiring in'its strongholds and to give the regular Government in this country an opportunity to develop its resources, to increase and discipline its army and its navy, and to put• itself in a complete military condi tion, and if it is the wish of the ambitions men of her Majesty's Kingdom to embroil this country in a war, we shall enter upon it in the secure confidence that they are as utterly in the wrong as the rebels themselves, and that wo are fortified in the consciousness of being entirely right, and able to attack Our foes and to defend our boundaries. . It is believed that the. Committee of Ways and Means in the House will take such action on the tax bill as will secure its speedy enact ment into a law. Committees of conferenee will be appointed by the two bodies to arrange such of the few details upon which there is difference of opinion, and it is not doubted that the report from this committee will be adopted by both-Houses. OCCASIgNAL. WE HAVE a startling report from a rebel source, announcing the assassination of Go vernor ANDREW JOHNSON and 'Mater General BUTLER. The rumor in re&rence to .

If Governor JOHNSON had died _b_ythe..hands_aLan...aragusinsthe_intanksAnee • would have been with us, Within' an hour after the occurrence.

Tuz mita nrcErntni to be e'xtended to the Rev. Wm. G. BROWNLOW by the citizens of Philadelphia; this evening, at the Acade my of Music; promises to be a brilliant affair. The sale of tickets is progressing ra pidly, and it is not improbable that enough to fill the house to its utmost capacity will be sold before this evening. Nothing has been left undone by the committee of arrangements to render the occasion worthy the name and fame of Philadelphia and the patriotism of her citizens. The sale of tickets for the Brown low receptions in the cities of Cincinnati, Boston, and New York exceeded four thou sand each, and we are sure that Philadelphia will not be behind .her sisters in doing honor to this hero-patriot of Tennessee, more espe cially as the proceeds of the reception are to be appropriated towards retrieving Mr. B ROWN- Low's finances, and enabling him to resume the publication of his newspaper, the Knox villa Whig. FROM WASHINGTON.. Special Despatches to The Press." The United" States Treasury Notes The . excitement in New York about . the proposed au thorisation of an additional one hundred and fifty mil lions of United Statee notes is regarded here as unwar ranted by the facts in the case. The whole nominal circulation of United States notes at this time is only one hundred and seventeen millions five hypdred thousand dollars. There are In the TrtalntrY, to the credit of (1124 burning officers, about thirty-two millions, leaving about half a million with which to meet drafts from the de partment. Of the hundred and seventeen millions, about fifty-seven millions, being the amount of the demand.; notes, are Practically withdrawn from circulation, and boarded for the payment of customs. Of the proposed new issue, therefore, tifty-s”rer, millions may replace the eaocunt thus boarded, and about forty millions will be withheld from /66110 to moot possible demands for tens porary deposits beyond immediate means. <Thns ninety=. seven millions will , make so practical addition to the circulation.' It is well understood, also, that the Secretary will In no event tune any part of the new notes), if authorized; except small notes to take tho place 'of the laige in the payments to soldiers amnother creditors preferring them, so long its the duties on imports, the increase of the tem porary loan, and the conversion of United States notes already tuned into dre-twenty par bonds, yield revenue enough to meet the daily expend:twee. .r„. During the present week thus far the income from these worms has more than met the Icurreni expenses. The conversions alone bare supplied more than half a million of dollars a day, and will probably increase. Under these circumstances, very little use will be made of the additional authority proposed to be given to the Secretary, though it is thought prudent to guard against possible exigencies by giving it. Auy axpansios of the currency which may take place, therefore, wilt not be attributable to the Treasury Departraent, to whatever else it may be ascribed. . . Important Decition of the Patent Office Commissioner HOLLOWAY has decided that'' , an appli cant for a patent cannot be defeated by the exparteatate ment, even if accompanied by an affidavit of any Nissan interested in the refusal of a parent." -This decision will have the effect of checking the subtle and irregular practice occasionally resorted to by interested parties, of sending to the iatent Office private letters, accompanied with drawings, ,to., with the view of preventing the grant of particular patents.

FROM MEMPHIS. 8,000 BALES OF COTTON FOR SHIPMENT-CAPTURE OF TWO REBEL STEAMERS Mastrnts, Junelo —Quiet pervades the entire city. The ready sabmiesion of the inhabitants to the rule of the United States authorities is surprising and gratifying. The civil authorities continue to discharge the func tions of their office, as heretofore. The provost marshal's office is thronged with a ppllcaute for permits to proceed North. Alt persons are required to take the oath of allegiance before this permission is granted. Jackson's rebel cavalry, which has been hovering around the city since its occupation by our troops, era said to have gone - to holly Springs. As most of them are largely interested in that city, it is not probable that they will make an attempt to turn it. The city recorder was yesterday arrested by the pro vost marshal, for causing the arrest of es citizen for con versing in the street with a Union soldier. Nebel cavalry are scouring the country around Grand Junction, destroying all the cattle that can he found. Applications to ship 6,000 bales of cotton have already been made. The Memphis Argus is shill outspoken in its Secees'on sympathy. The Ara/ducks is more guarded, and in clined to submit quietly, and both papers advise peace able submission to the Federal rule. . klauy stores have been reopened and resumed busi ness. Some dealers refuse Confederate money, but re ceive Tennessee bank-notes.

LETTER OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY WASHINGTON. June 12.—The following letter. has been addreseed, by the Secretary of the Navy, to the Naval Cotamittees of both lioueea: NAVY ThIPAIMIENT. June 9, 3.862.5ta : I bed the honor to t ddress the N+vat, Oonuntttee, under date of 25th lof March last, on the subject of armored shire, end the necessity of preliminary measures in the future conetruutton of reesete for the naval aortic°. The fact that a radical change bag commenced in the construction and armament of chips—which change, in effect, die penses with the navies that have hitherto existed—le ob. vioue, and it 13 a goeetiou for Congo ma to decide whether the Government will promptly take the initiative step to piece our country in the trout rank of maritime Powers. It is unnecessary that I should recapitulate the ang gestione contained In my letter of the 25th of March ; but I would again call your attention to theni and state my earnest desire that Congress should take action, be fore its adjournment, on the subject not only of supplying itself wills the armature and heavy ordnance for ships, tint of the substitution by the Government 9f iron for wood, in viola or In part, in the construction of naval veeeele. • It bao hitherto been supposed to be the truo interest of the Government to build its owns ships of war, and to manufacture the arms, and most of the articles which 'are requisite for the naval service. Thla necessity has arisen chiefly from the fact that naval Tassels, and naval porpoises and objects, are in many respects eo ea sentiolly different from those of the mercantile marine as to place them out of the usual line of private enterprise. The Government has consequently to pay an extra cost for extra and better work. in • naval and military mat ters it is indispensable that vessels, guns. machinery, everything per.aining to them, should b e . of the beyt quality, reliatle, and always ready at any moment to meet tie public necessities. The GOT( roment has several large navy yards for bnilelng ships; and the introduction of steam, which is necessary for and made applicable to all naval vessels now constructed, has compelled it to erect extensive ahopa for making steam machinery. But these shops aro inade quate to the wants of the navy, and for some years it will be necessary, under any circumstances, to contract for much the terser portion of the work that will be required. It is now generally conceded that vessel, for listeing purposes must be heavily plated with iron, if they are not built entirely of that material. In Me, as in moat costly fabrics, economy is reached through durability. Iron shipbuilding is new in this country; but few per sons are engaged in it, and It Is a novelty in our navy yards.. Heavy iron beams, ehafting, and thick iron plates, can be procured from only two or three parties, and then in limited quantities, sod subject to great delay. IndirM nets have little use for irou of such magnitude as the navy must bare, and there must unavoidably be great outlay to prepare for the execution of such work. With only the nuly for a purchaser there can be no com petition, and the Government will be compelled, under such circumstances, to pay almost an> prices the mills and forges may demand., No inconsiderable portion of an iron ship can be made and procured at the ordinary mills, and to for as it can be done it may be the beet po licy to be so subjected ; but the heavy and expensive por tions cannot be so procratd, and unless the Government is prepared to execute the work, it will be subject to in• poeition, and ice vessels to marked Inferiority Other nations, whose wooden ships-of-war far exceed our own in numbers, cannot afford to lay them aside, but are compelled to plate them with iron at a very great cost. They are not unaware of the disadvantage of this proceeding, but it is a present necessity. It must be -borne in mind however, that those Governments which are striving for navel supremacy are spacing no expense to strengthen themselves by building iron vessels, and already their dockyards are - undergoing the necessary ,preparation for thts change in r aval architecture, not withstanding those Governments have at their command the greatest experience and th ) most extensive and com plete iron and machine factories that private enterprise can pi educe. These facts are suggestions to our Govern.' tient, and I desire to call your attention to the necessity of making the necessary provision for ourselves by pro viding the means and conveniences for building and pre paring a navy such as the strength and character of our Government and,country require, in order to maintain its true position among maritime Powers. We bare boron eogagtd for years, and have strait mil liens in our navy-yards and on our steam-uitichlae shops for ship-building purposes, and have not yet been able to keep up with the wants of the navy and the exigen cies of the service. It is nut the part of wisdom to close our eyes to the progress of events, nor to evade the responsibilities that properly belong to us. The creation of a new and diffe rent nap•, such as the development of -science and art already demonstrate AEI a necessity, calls for vigorous measures and prompt and energetic action.: The Govern ment should not, injustice to itself, be dependent on pri vate establishments for its most important and extensive works, but should rely upon itself. Great works, how ever, require time in their preparation, and lavish ex• penditure cannot hasten them. Congress baa been liberal' in its appropriations for building vestals, but these appropriations cannot he made available in obtaining the proper locations, and mills, forges, furnaces, and shops, all of which are tvonisile, and which, to be secured properly, need time and careful conch erasion. • II the money for the purposes be now appropriated, we shall commence under as favorable circumstances ea any nation the conetruction of a navy adaptei to the wants of our country and the times. No nation can have an advantage over us, if we avail ourselves of our means and opportunities It is now no longer doubtful that our, future safety and welfare are de pendent on our naval strength and efficiency. It is a duty, an well as a necessity, that we make those United States a great naval Poser. We owe it to ourselves to commence Si once this work, and the present Con gress should, in my opinion, take the preliminary steps at the present session for laying the foundation for the con struction of n navy commensurate with the wants and magnitude of the country. The place or places, the .ehops and tools, and oth.r appurtenances for this groat work mnat be commenced in season. The 03 porience we have had admonishes us not to permit a war to come upon us uisprepared.• Yet such an event may be pend ing, and the responsibility and calamities that would follow neglect eheuld be a warning fer us to be prepared. No.amonut of money would repair the wrong that might be inflicted from present neglect. A million or two of dollars judiciously expended at the present time may cave Lands cds of millions, and the honor of tho nation 'after hostilities shall have commenced. I have made these suggestions In coniequence of the near termination of the session, without any movement as yet for establishing the necessary works to produce the heavy iron and mmature that will hereafter enter into the construction of our naval veseele. It is doubt ful when:lir any of our present navy yards are adapted to the purpose Lei ein indicated, lint if so, they will re quirnconsiderabit enlargement. The subject is one that should receive careful consideration. I would suggest that authority be given .to designate end pismire ounor more imitable locations. We are nsw constructing a number of gunboats by contract on the . Western waters, and I would suggest that recent expert iniCO. and the at reenurcee in iron and other catatbili ties'of the West, with the radical change in naval archi tecture, dilllOUPlrtite the propriety of astablishmg a navy Yards foundry, eon Shope, at soma point in the valley of the Such a yard, and its attending establiehmowts, would possess many advantages, &mile becoming a tisce.s•ity.

Mr. MORRILL (Rep.), of Maine, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill in addition to the act to prolide for salvage in cases of capture. Senators from Deseret. Mr. LATHAM (Dem ). of California, called up the roaolaVon to admit the gentlemen claiming to be tiena tore from Deseret to the doer of the Senate. Mr. BALE (R.), of New Bamiehire, saki that, m far as ho knew, such action was entirely without pre cedent. LANE (Rep.), of Kansas, laid that whoo the Emitters from Eamon first came here they were not ad mitted. Mr.•LATHAM said that, If such was the case, he had so debit* to Nees the reeolutton. Laid over, Buckner's Trenton. Mr. DAVIS (U.), of Kentucky, offered a resolution relating to Gen. Buckner. The preamble sets forth that he had seduced the dtate Guard of Kentucky, and com mitted treaeon and wan under Indictment for treason agaipet th e United States in the District Court of Ken tucky. Therefore, resolved, That the said Simon Bolivar Buckner - ought to be transferred to the civil autheritioe of the United States to be tried for treason, whereof he' stand,' indicted. Mr. GRIMES ( R ep.), of lowa, thought the resolution ought not to pun There were three °Ulcers of the Uni ted States, who lied been taken prisoners, here now ne gotiating for a general exchange or prisoners. including 'loaner. Be thought we ought not to keep so many of our own men prisoners fgr the take of sending back Buckner to be tried in Kentucky. Mr. TRUMBULL (Rep.), of Illinois, wanted to know ilithe Senator front lows had any reason for confiding faith In the rebels respecting an exchange of prisoners. After the battle of Beloit nt this Government surrendered the prisoners on a promige of exchange, but the rebels, after receiving their men, refused to give up ours, and it is will known they refused to deliver up Colonel Coe reran the other day after the privateers were sent down to them. He wee willing to make exchanges, bat be wanted to know what assurance thei o was that the Re bel Government would keep Its faith in the matter. Mr. GRIMES said that the - Government continue! to make exchanges notwithatanding the bad faith of the Rebel Government,, and Buckner or anybody else would not be given up Ult we had a like number delivered to us: Mr. DAVIS claimed that the rules or exchange were settled by the laws of nations, and It was degrading to a Government to submit to peculiar terms exacted by an arrogant rebellion. Buckner was nne of the worst of traitors, and such a wretch ought not to be exchanged, but taken to Kentucky and hung Mr. BROWNING (Rep ), of Illinois, said it was very likely that Buck - not was a bad man, but tto flame argu ment might be used against exchanging any prisoner. We must adopt the same ralo in regard to all prisoners. Tbie buelueta did not belong to Congress at all, but en tirely belongs to the military government, and they most make their own rnh e, and to what they please with the prisoners. Besides, walk, the war in in emigres*, military power has no right to deliver over prisoners of war to the civil authorities. If Buckner was hung, it would only inaugurate a as stem of retaliation. On motion of Mr. LATUAhI, the resolution was post poned till to-morrow. Slaves in the District.

Adopted. The bill for the relief of Lieutenant (now General) Ulyethe S. Grant woe taken tip and peeled. On motion of Mr. LATEAM (Dew.), the Pacific rail road bill was token up Mr. LATHAM. proceeded to speak in favor of the pato sage of the bill. lie said that, as long ago as the opening 01 the pre•_ent century, Jefferson saw the importance of this meat work, end the country was yet smolt and in its iolatcy. Afterwards the Government, seeing the great importance of connecting the country, instituted our veys, and bad different routes accurately mapped out. The Government long age began. the system of internal improvements, for toe benefit of the whole nation, and began the system of donating public lands in Illi nois, where they gave to the railroad a tract of land twice as largo as the State of Delaware. The question was long since settled, that there could be no constitu tional ()let ction to building nett a road on was proposed to the Pacific. Every oilier consideration demands such a road. California was rapidly settled, and has sent to the country gold in quantitiee never before equalled. A large population woe also settling in Oregon, and the interest of what is going to be an immense population on the western slope of the Rocky Morintaine demands that it be connected with the East. The bill before tho Senate was simple in its provisions, and hem no objectionable features. It provides for a road two thousand four hundred and twenty- n re miles in length, and for a loan, on the credit of the Government, of sixty five millions, in bonds running thirty years, and the grant of a certain amount of public lands. The amount of public lands granted was greatly smaller, in compa rison, than the amount granted to other roads. li the passage of this measure would in any way em barrase the Government in these troublons times, be would not, in the name of his people, ask the Government to more one step towards the building of this road. The State of California was loyal to the Government, and would continue to be true to the Übion, and be the last State to do anything that would have the least tendency to embarrass the Government. But, In fact, the passage of this bill can have no effect but a beneficial one. Tho bonds of the Government will not be due for thirty years, and it has been abundantly shown that the road must be profitable, and really the Govt rut:tient will never have to pay a cent. There could be no reasonable objection to the passage of the bill.. The Senate proceeded to Ito consideration of the amendments' of the special committee, the first amend ment being to change the western terminus from the 102 d degree longitude to the 100th degree. TnueIIBEILL said be had great doubts about such an amendment. It raised the very serious question of the right of the Goveinment to build a' road in the limits of a State: Dlr. DARLAN (Rep ), or Tows, moved to.amerid so as to make the western terminus at or near Fort Kearney. Dlr. MOTIF-ILL (Rep ), of Maine, said that, though he nee strongly in favor of the measure, ho thought that this bill was defective. It waa a Bound principle twit the Government had no right to build a road within • the Ilmiti of a State, and yot by this bill the road must ne cessarily commence in the State of KRURIIII, and go by what is called the Denver route, which ho understood' was entirely ituatacticabje. . Mr. DOOLII.TLM (Rep ), of 'Wisconsin, moved that the fienate po into executive sosslou. Mr. LATHAM hoped the Eenste would continue with the consideration of the Pacific Railroad bill. l'be motion for an executive session Virn3 agreed to— ys as 20. nevi 18 The Senate subsequently adjourned. ROVSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Tax Bill. bar. STEVENS (Rep.), of Pennsylvania ' reported back the tax bill from the Committee of WOlll and Mr ans. The Eennta had made 314 amendments, a large number of tium being of an unimportant character. In order to facilitate definitive action, he recommended a ,lentral non concnrience In all the amendments, and then &skid for the appointment of a committee of con ference. Mr. COLFAX (Itep ), of Indiana, sold he regarded a con udder) cf cotferenco oe a tiikeelary evil. but at the same t.me they ought to seduce the disagreeing amend meLts to the smallest possible number, and then send the latter to the coLference. Ile asserted that this bill would be severely criticised, and thiso who voted for it will have to answer to their constiturnts. De believed nil the amendments could be considered in three or four dsyr. Mr. DIORBILL (Rep.), of Vermont, said the Commit tee of Nays and Gleans did not arrogate to itself the power to overrule the sense of the House. The proposi tion of his colleague (Mr. Stevens) was merely made for the despatch of business. There was a special order for to• day and to-morrow. Until this measure be disposed of, the committee wend not know what kind of a sup plemental tariff to report. Mr. VICHLIFfR (U.), of Kentucky, - opposed the course recommended by Mr. Stevens, on the ground that the members would have no opportunity of expressiog their dissent to offensive amendments, nor could they vote against them without voting against the entire bill. Dir. MORRILL said the House could redectany report, and hare another committee of conference appointed. Mr..MALLORY (U.) hoped those short tune would be allowed in order to discuss all differences of opinion. . Mr. KELLOGG ( gen.), of Illinois, said no conside rations of economy , of time should induce the HOUJO to depart from the ordinary mode of legislation. They , ought to stay here during the entire term of their office, ratter than hazard doing wrong as to a measure of such vast importance. - Mr. bTRYENS' motion to non- concur with the Be cafe's amendments, and asking for a committee of confe rence, was then adopted—yeas 80, .nays Si. The Howe concurred in the report of the committee on conference on the disagreeing amendments to the In dian appropriation bill. Anniversaries Mr. LOOMIS (Rep ), of Connecticut, introduced a joint resolution recommending that, in addition to tit.) 4th of July, tho 14th of June and 17th of September be observed as public holidays—the first to commemorate the In claration of National Indeprndence, the second the adoption of our Flag, and the third the formation of the Constitution. The resolution was tabled. Petition front New York. Mr. BAIGBT (Dem.), of New York, presented the petition of 127 merchants of New York, asking for an extension of the time allowid for Avarebousing goods. , ho lionise paused the Senate bill defining the pay and emoluments of certain officers of the army, with &mud motto, one of which embodied Mr. Arnold's bill to give citizenship to all, volunteers, who servo and are honor ably discharged, On proving ono year's residence, and another to punish ftaudulent contractors, by trial by eourGmartial, with floe and imprisonment, and to bring all contractors under the articles of war. • After debate, it wee deemed that this mode of vanish meat would be more prompt than in the civil courts. and it wat ananitromaY adopted. It was in effect the propo sition l•eretofore introduced by. Mr. Oolfex. The Bowie also passed the Senate reeolution regulating the employment of convicts In the District of Columbia for their improvement and benefit. The section fur the discharge of soldiers confined therein under sentence or court-martial. Ac , was stricken out, as the Committee on the Judiciary will probably to-morrow report a bill specially for that purpose, and to prohibit the incarcera tion of each pereons in future. The House concurred in the retort of the committee of conference on the disagreeing amendments to the bill reeking appropriations for bounties under the Volimteer Act of July last, the entire sum being five millions. Business pertaining to the District of Columbia was then conaidertd. The bill for the erection of a now penitentiary and jail was defeated. The House then adjourned.

Rebel Lies Concerning “The Situation" at New Orleans. • [prom the Mobile Tribune.] • We kern that a bitter fend exists between the army and nary of loom at New Orleans. Butler claims the merit Of taking the city. Bacragnt and Porter desire to divide the honor. Farragnt, in a recent interview with the ge neral declared that, without the presence of the fleet, he would not give a cent for the security of his life or that of Ms army. This is told to ns on the very best But/sr is about tearing for the A - ortit, and it may be, in some degree, on this account, but more, in all proba bility, because he does not exactly feel secure of his own precious penult. The exasperation against him, espe cially proceeiing from some of his orders, is making him fearful. Since the first war ship WU set afloat, there has been a jealousy between the land and sea service. A. &snot looks will, contempt upon a landsman. When a doubtful Ittory Is told aboard abip,Jack says, tell that to the ma tines," alto arc considered hicredulous, and little lacking in manhood, because they hate about them the odor of the land. There in not a doubt that the credit of takleiNew Or leaus'ninst be given to the navy. Baer would not have got near It with a hundred thoutand men at his back: and, with his ineignilicant force, could net remain twen ty•feur hours, if the fleet wag not at his call. So, in truth, the honor or thrums does belong to Tarragut and Pinter, and they ought to have It. The order of Gen. Butler in reelect to Confederate cro ne), it is believed, 'ins suggested by merely speculative motivt a, and it to said that it was drawn up by Jacob Barker, in concert with Butler. The result is that that merry has fallen greatly in value, and may be bought at twenty.live cents in gold for a dollar. The object was to use it In the numbest's( goner, molasses, and cotton, on the presumption that those commodities could he found hileuge quantities, anti that no mem owning them would rt ject our currency In exchange for them. Buller himself has been noted as a epeculator. He has a brother—a merchant—in Boston : and to him all the produce purchased will be sent. S‘i teat Butler, Barker, a Butler expected to share the enormous Profit that it wee enproted would be reaLxed. It is a very pretty game, and so like a Yankee, anti parliculatly so lunch like Butler, who in surnamel "Pica y nne"—although "dollar , would be better under the circumstances of this especial ine ance of his avidity for gain. 3he jealousy between the army and the navy has coots to so high a Nipper that the latter will not obey any orders addressed to It by Boiler, except those which are essential to ilio holding of the city. We hear some In stances of this, but are not at liberty to mention them.
