the war.
Aa we indicated yesterday, thel'militaryauthori
ties tt Washington have determined to make a di
version in a different quarter ; from .that how. ooou*. •
pied by the Army of the Potomac. The vastness
of this army, with its present contracted linos and;
strong position, renders it available for operation in -
various directions, according to' the designs of
the Commander, in-Chief. The fact that one of
onr most distinguished generals has expressed the
opinion that to take Richmond now, we must
temporarily divert the enemy’s; attention from
his present fortified base of operations, is,
we think, enough to warrant us in the be
lief that no immediate advance upon Rich
mond will be made from Fredericksburg. The
approaches by water to the rebel . capital are
many, and so good that we scarcely know which
might prove the most advantageous in ease an ex
pedition like that which failed on the Peninsula
should once more be sent against Richmond. The
attractive baits to the rebel leaders, to be found at
various points along the Southern coast, are not.
alluring enough, and if coaxing will not bring .the
rebels out in their strength we must see what force
will do. The question then occurs from what
point should the force be applied, and who shall
make the diversion ? lor such a demonstration
we have a choice of three points eminently eligible :
1. By way of the York river, landing at West
Point, twenty miles below Richmond. 2. By way
oftheJames river, landing on the south bank,
at the mouth of the Appomattox, about twenty
five mile’s from Richmond, moving dpoh Port Wai
tin'!, and threatening the rebel capital from the
rear, and cutting it off from! railway communica-:
tion with the Southern States. 3. By way of Suf
folk, through Hansemond, ;Isle of Wight, South
ampton, Sussex, and Prince George counties, along
excellent roads, through a level, well-watered
plain, seizing Blandford Heights, overlooking Pei
tersburg. This is a march of fifty-eight miles. In
the latter movement we would have the cover of
gunbonts in the James river, if needed, and the
privilege of landing reinforcements as high up as
City Point, twelve ‘ miles below Petersburg and
Coggin’s Point, fourteen miles below that city.
Such a course of procedure' as the latter was
designed for the Army of the Potomac last spring,
but was claimed to be impracticable from the fact
that the Meriimac was in existence, and the James
river was not in our possession. A movement of
this kind now would possess all the grandeur of
tint mapped out for &en' McClellan last spring,
without the great difficulties which impeded our
progress and finally rendered our efforts futile upon
the Peninsula. Besides this, it would unshackle our
weak columns on the-coast, now threatened with
destruction in detail, and render Washingtos en
tirely safe, as it was so long as MoClollan
prosecuted a flank movement towards the rebel
"capital..-. From Petersburg a cavalry expedi
tion would be necessary only to prooced west
to Burkesville Junction of the Tennessee and Dan
ville railroads, and destroy them both. It seems
to ns that if Petersburg were once in our hands, it
would give us virtual possession of the entire
South, and force General Lee to fight his army
either to extermination or submission, without
any ohance of retreat, or means of obtaining
supplies or reinforcements from the South and
Southwest. Such a magnificent diversion could
now be made without weakening the Army of
the Potomac, the expedition of General Banks, or
any other independent corps, except, perhaps,
that of Gen. Foster, in North Carolina, and it
would have the effect to give us. a series of decisive
victories, which would put an end to the rebel’ion
before the enlistment of our “ nine-months volun
teers” is out. This or some similar diversion should
be made at jonee, to render the capture of Rich
mond by Burnside certain.
THE NEWS.
Wb have files of the Jamal do Commercio
and the Cotreio Mercantile of Rio Janeiro, to the-
XOth of October. Tbo Rio coffee .market for the
■week ending 9th of September was almost devoid
of business, but had recovered from its languor,
and sales to some extent were effected at an ad
vaace of 100 reis, principally in the new descrip
tions. From the 7th to the 23d, 73,700 bags chang
ed bands, of which- 5,500 were for the States. In
freights for the United States there was not much
doing, but still the few vessels loaded would have
no difficulty in obtaining their cargoes. Freights
in general were somewhat firmer than at the
end of last month. At Bahia about 500 to
600 bales of cotton from the interior (about
three to four arrobas each), made their appearance
in the market, and were bought up at 21,000 reis
perarroba. Brown sugar continued in demand,
and prices were firm and looking up; sales had
been effected at 1,850 reis to 1,850 reis for regular
quaiities, and 2,000 reis per arroba for superior.
Whites were neglected. - There had been no sup
plies of coffee from Oaravellas. A demand for
cocoa had sprung up latterly, and lots of regular
quality readily found purchasers at 4,400 reis per
arroba.. Stdcks of hides on hand were increasing,
no sales having transpired for some time, and quo
tations were nominal and flat. There is no political
news of consequence.
We have some news of interest from the South
west. Cotton is now coming into Memphis freely,
and in large quantities from points along the line of
the Memphis and Charleston railroad as far out a 3
Corinth. The steamer Platte Valley brought up a
load of nine hundred bales of oottsn to Cairo a few
days ago, which is the largest single load that has
arrived since the breaking out of the rebellion.
This was all she could carry at the present stage
of water, and she was compelled to leave a large.
amount- on the Memphis levee, awaiting shipment.
The impression prevails at Memphis that cotton will
now come in. there as rapidly as steamers can be
found to bring it away. West Tennessee is now
about free, both from the regular armies of the
rebels and guerilla bands The last vestige of the
latter were routed and driven in confusion across
the Tennessee, near Fort Henry, a few days ago, by
General Ransom.
.Brio. Gbn. Seymour has been relieved of his
command in the Pennsylvania Reserves, and will
report to Gen Hunter, to .whose department he

; A loyal Tennessee regiment formed a portion of
Parson Brownlow’s congregation on Sunday. Ad
dressing himself, in his sermon, to them, he advised
them te obey their officers until they arrived in
East Tennessee, after which they shall exercise
their own taste in settling old scores with the rebels
in that section.

The Bad Time Coming.
In gland is doing the least it can to keep her
miserable Lancashire operatives fromstarva
tion. Including the revenues of the Dacliy
of Lancaster, and not reckoning‘her various
rent-free furnished castles and palaces, Queen
Victoria ’s salary is $2,025,000 a year. Pretty
well fo r one person, all of whose children have
been, or are to be, provided tor out of the
taxes squeezed out of poor John Bull. Set;
against this the amount doled out, in; law-ex
acted charity, to the starving serfs of the Lan
cashire cotton-lords. The measure of Eng
land’s justice and liberality to her operatives,
when they are driven from the mills, and com
pelled to ask help from the State, is from
twenty-two to thirty-six cents a week. This
is the average supplied to men, women, and
children, to keep them in food, rent, clothes,
fuel, and medicine in the most; inclement sea
son. Nor is this the worst. . In; many places,
what is called the labor-test is enforced—-that
is, a condition of auchrelief as Ihe above is, that
. the person receiving it shallwbrk so many hours
a-day, even though such work be to move
stones from one side of the road to another,
and then move them back-again. Of course,
though many miserables submit to this, others
do not take to it kindly. Incipient agitation,'
which a casual breath may fan into the flame of
insurrection at any moment, is already trace
able. It is hard to say how what .the condi
tion of affairs in Lancashire may be at Christ
mas. It would seem as if a very bad time
were coming. - -
The out-of-work starvelings have a legal
right to adequate support, and a moral right
to something beyond the legal right. They,
are not paupers. They are the very contrary—
the creators of a vast’portion of the exist
ing weal'h of Great Britain. They are
suddenly deprived of their income by events
for which the manufacturers, or Parliament,
or the Government, may be more or less re
sponsible, but for which they cannot be. - The
community which suffers men, women, and
children to receive so littlo as from twenty to
thirty-six cents a week—there being nearly a
million of these sufferers—must be strangely
constituted. As an offset, we have seen that
the Queen has an annual ■ income of two
million dollars, while the Dukes of Sutherland
and Devonshire, and the Marquis of West
minster, respectively, have incomes twice as
large as the Queen’s. Millions on one side ;
cents, and. few of them, on the other.
Medical men practising in Lancashire have
warned the Government that the operatives
cannot be expected to retain health for future
labor on the few cents per week allewed him.
Hitherto the miserables have chiefly suffered
in silence. They have been patient in their'
pain. But can this continue 1 Is it for hu
man nature to submit to starvation, while the
lords of princely mansions, noble parks, and
garden-trimmed demesnes dash by them in
their coaches : and four, from one scene of.
luxury to another ? England, within the next
three months, will probably be the scene of a
servile war, for food.' ,
The King of Greece.
It is natural that here, where the poetic
genius of Halleck and the lofty eloquence of
Webster, Clay, and Everett created a
furore, over forty years ago, in favor of the!
liberation of Christian Greece from, the thrall
of the Crescent, we cannot look upon the recent
revolution—so bloodless yet so complete—
with She usual indifference to petty foreign
incidents. In Greece, the land of early let
ters, and arms, arts, and freedom, we must
always feel an interest—and the more so, as
we have done and are doing, in this Western
continent, whose very existence was unknown
to and scarcely suspected by Eastern an
tiquity, what has already made us nearly as
much celebrated, after less than a century of
national existence, and infinitely greater in
'.the-peaceful pursuits of science, invention,
industry, and commerce. On this' account,
we propose to state, as briefly as possible, but
as fully as the present extent of our informa
tion may permit, what is the precise position
of Greece, after having oast off the unpopular
and unfortunate sway of the Bavarian prince,
Otho.
- In August 1825, when the Revolution yet
hung trembling in the balance, as it were, yet
with strong hopes of success in the minds of
all who love freedom, and cherish the memo
ry of an illustrious line of warriors and states
men, orators and artists, poets and philoso
phers, the representatives of the Greek na
tion sighed a solemn act, whereby Greece was
placed under the absolute protection of Eng.
land. Next came a memorial from the Helle
nic Government, requesting that Prince Leo
pold, of Saxe Coburgj the widowed sou-in
law of the British monarch, might be appoint
ed Sovereign of Greece. No immediate
action was taken on this proposition, hut it
gave great satisfaction to George IV. and
his ministers. • ;
Early in 1826 occurred the visit of the Duke
of Wellington to St. Petersburg, nominally
to congratulate the young Czar Nicholas on
his accession; but really to conclude and sign
the terms of a convention for the protection
of Greece. This convention, by the wav, did
not go to the length of making Greece an inde
pendent nation, for it kept her a dependanco
of the Ottoman. Empire, paying an annual
tribute, enjoying liberty of conscience and
freedom of trade, and. governed by native au
thorities, in whose nomination the Porte should
have a voice. This convention was signed in
April, 1826, and the Greek struggle for free
dom was continued by means of pecuniary aid
from the Philheilenes of England, Germany,
and Prance.
Chiefly owing to the strenuous exertions and
representations of Mr. Canning, then Foreign
Minister, a treaty between England, France,
and Russia was signed in July, • 1827, by which
the contracting Powers agreed to offer, their
mediation to the Sultan, the terms ■•" being
that, as the war had already lasted a long time,
without his being able to put an end to it,
they proposed that he should retain only a
nominal sovereignty over Greece, and that, if
he declined this, within a month, that the
national independence of Greece should be
acknowledged, in the usual manner, by Bend
ing to and receiving consular agents from
Greece, and establishing commercial relations
with her. It is probable that should the
European Powers ever proffer, their me
diation, in our civil war, this action of Eng
land, France, and Russia will be cited as a
precedent. It is especially worthy of con
sideration that the offer of mediation, which
really involved the dismemberment of the
Ottoman Empire, commenced with the jus
tificatory plea that, the war, had been con
tinued for .a length of time, without the
Sultan’s having succeeded in , quelling the re
bellion. I'his, we predict, will be the open
ing statement of any European offer of me
diation which may be made to us.
“The Sultan indignantly rejected the proffer
ed mediation, and energetically prepared for
action. Then, the combined fleets of Eng
land, France, and Russia assembled in the
wEgean Sea, from which rendezvous they pro
ceeded to attack the Egyptian fleet, com-.,
manded by Ibrahim Pacha, acting for the Sul
tan, whose powerful vassal he was, and block
aded the Bay of Navarino, where it jay. Fi
nally, the Sultan, still denying the right of any
Powers to interfere in his proceedings against
rebellion, the Allied fleet defeated the’opposing
naval force, in what is called the Battle, of
Navaiino (October 2Qih, 1827), and Complete
ly routed and destroy ed it. Greece had been
in Moslem sway for centuries. Christendom
went in to the rescue, and triumphed. A
single naval battle, one of the most devas
tating on record, bad secured the liberation of
Greece, and placed her.once more among the
nations ot Egrope. The cause of humanity
and religion bad triumphed. It was a war of
religion and.'cif race—the Gross against; the
Grescent, and the Christian against the Sara
cen, as in the time oFßichaUd and Saladin.
After having unsuccessfully tried to govern
Greece, as anatioD; by a President, it was re
solved to introduce Monarchical institutions.
The crown was formally tendered to Prince
> Leopold, who probably would have accepted .
it- in 1820, but when the offer was actually
made (early in 1831), he riot only saw how badly
Greece had got on since her independence
was established’, but'already had assurance of
being called to govern the newly formed King- :
dqm of Belgium—the crown'of which had al
ready been offered to and declined by the Due
pe Nemours, second son of Lours Philippe
;of France. Two; other princes were then
named—tbeDuke de Leuchtenberci, grandson
of-the late Empress Josephine, of France,
and Prince Otho, of Bavaria, then a youth of
sixteen. France protested against the choice
.of any one at all connected with the Napoleon
dynasty. Eventually, Leopold accepted the
sceptre of Belgium, which he'has swayed with
equal prudence and success, and Otho, second
son of the King of Bavaria, was declared King
of Greece. , -
The Allied Powers, flndiDg the newly form
ed kingdom without cash- or credit, raised for
it a loan of $12,006,000, and further guaran
tied that the sum of $5,000,000 should be paid
to the Sultan, in consideration of his sur
rendering the territory necessary to constitute
the newly-established State. King Otho, who
- arrived in Greece in 1883, commenced
his reign, under a Regency, by proclaiming a
general amnesty, by excluding from office all
paitisans of Russia as well as all extreme re
publicans, by - granting the freedom of the
Press, by placing the administration of justice
on a sound basis, by organizing- an army
(which included 1 a Bavarian force of 3,000
men), by endeavoring to suppress the
bands of robbers, who appeared in great num
bers in the Mores, and by withdrawing from
the faith of the Catholic and adopting the
faith of-the'Greek Church—not one of his
new subjects believing Mm sincere in this
apostacy. What occurred in Greece, during
the thirty years of Otho’s reign, is too well
known to be here detailed; A negative cha
racter, with limited capacity and unusual ob
stinacy, his whole career has been a very
striking illustration of . (■' ;
“The right divlna of Kings to govern wrong.” :
For Oomiress.
His heart was ever in Bavaria; he was Ger
man to the core, and never felt at home in
Greece ; he was dictated to by his wife, also
German, blit strbngly in the interest of Rus
sia; he bad no administrative power, and al
>lowed Greece to become involved in pecuniary
trouble,, besides neglecting to pay the interest
on the money lent him by the Allied Powers
to commence his-rule with; "in a word, he
reigned like a feeble-minded man, and: has
fallen without regret from any quarter. ;
The question arises—who shall succeed
Otho ? • The nobles of Greece are too jealous
of each other, it is to be feared, to permit a
Greek to govern them, either as President or
King, and are too fond of show and rank to
accept a Republican form of Government.
Among the persons named as likely to be
offered the crown of Greece are Prince Al
fred of England and Nicholas Maxibullia
xowna, Duke of Liuchtehberg, Prince of
Eichstadt, who is great-grandson of the Em
press Josephine of France, third cousin of
NApoleon 111., and nephew of the Czar Alex
ander. ;Eugehe Beauiiarnais, son of Jo
sephine, married a Bavarian Princess; and had
two sons, one of whom wag first husband to
the late Queen Donna Maria of Portugal, and
the other married the eldest daughter of the
Czar Nicholas of Russia, who became a widow
in 1852.- Prince Alfred was born in August,
1844 ; the Duke of Leuchtenbero exactly a
year earlier. Both have the disadvantage of
youth. a.- :
It appears to us that, under the treaty
which established Otho as King of Greece,
and assigned his youngest brother Adelbert
as his successor, in the event of his demise
without children, that neither an English hor H
a Russian prince is eligible to the throne of
Greece. - Many years have elapsed since we
perused v that treaty, nor can we now conve
niently refer to it, but our strong impression'
is that one of its clauses expressly prohibited
any member of the royal houses of England,
Prance, and Russia, from becoming King of
Greece; : . ■;
It is true, as events have shown, that modern
treaties are held binding only during conve
nience—as witness the manner in which those
of 1815 have been set aside—and therefore
tho Duke of Leuchtesberg may be placed on
the throne of Greece through the combined
interest of the Emperor Alexander and
Naeot.eon, whose near relative he is. Cer-, •
tabily, England would not allow any of Queen
Victoria’s sons to accept such a dangerous
gift of doubtful value as the sovereignty of
Greece. As for Prince Alfred, he, of all
others, cannot take it, for he is designed, by
special family arrangement, and with consent
of the great family of German rulers, to reign
over Saxe-Cohiirg-Gstha, on the death of his
uncle, the present Grand Duke. 1
'There was a whisper of an intention of call
ing Garibaldi to the throne of Greece. It
is next to impossible that the great European
Powers would permit him to appear in any
such capacity. Turkey and Austria, both of
whom have territories adjacent to Greece,
would be in perpetual danger from such a
warlike neighbor. Our own opinion inclines
to u the belief that France and Russia, com
bining together, will succeed in haying the
Duke of Leuqhtekberc; elected King;- of
Greece. It is in'his favor, for this end, that
he has been brought up as a member of the'
Gioek Church. t
The unanimous action of >our City Councils
yesterday afternoon, authorizing the purchase
of Rembrandt Peale’s celebrated equestrian
portrait of Washington, is worthy of the well
known patriotism and public spirit of our
people, and will merit and receive the appro
bation of every one. That this superb speci
men of American art should be placed in In
dependence Hall, as the crowning ornament
in that valuable collection of hero and patriot
portraits is most proper, will render our
“ ark of freedom ” more attractive than ever,
increasing that respect which is already ri
pening into reverence.

It is probable that General Burnside’s army will be

some valuable time. The bridge from Falmouth to

several other bridges of minor importance, will have to
be rebuilt. However, the Government has plenty of

_ TBADHS’ UnIOR,—A DHlD'ber of meet
ings wore held last evening by the different trades for the
purpose of forming association! for the protection and
advancement of their intereots.
JOnMEYAfEN PT.UMIrEBS-.
The journeymen p’umbers assembled at Sixth and Wal
nut streets The attendance was very targe for amsettog
of this sled.
The committee appointed to prepare a circular to be
addressed to the employees of the city, submitted’ the fol
lowing, which was approved:
TO THE HASTES PLUMBERS OF PffiH.AßEEMti—9en-;_
tlemen: We. .the jautneimen plumbers of Philadelphia,
having in. view the good of the trade, have organized an
association termed the Journeymen Plumbers’Associa
tion of Philadelphia, and, desiring the countenance and
00. operation of .the master plumbers, take this method
of acquainting yon with the Abject of our association.
. You are aware of the growing tendoney of psrso2S,not
properly in our business, to Interfere with us both in out
prices and material, and also the fact that the material
furnishers, depending mainly on the plumbers, are taking
the advantage of our want of combination to furnish, to
parties outside of tbs trade, material at the earns rate as
totboplumbirs, thereby depriving us of the first profits
of the material; and also of the fact that some of the
master plumbers, in their anxiety to teenre ongtom, will
estimate for the first job at even below tha cost, and then
obarge higher rates' to make up the deficiency,' thereby
leading tbe public to tt ink that the profits are enormous,
as they now erroneously think, and thereby preventing &
(air competition, which is the life of trade. Hoping we
can reform some or all of the abuses in the trade, is one
of the main ohjecis of our organization. Another is to
aesi*t one another both in procuring work, or aid In time
of sickness or trouble. We would respeotfuly suggest
that if the master plumbers would form, an association,
the two oould operate together for the advantage of both.
At a previous meeting a regular association was
formed and the following officers elected: -*
President—GowsnE. Brown; Vice .President—Daniel
G. Price; Secretary—Bdw. T. Byan;: Treasurer—Jamas
A. Boohe.
A constifution and rules of order for the association
were alto adopted. No .person can be admitted as a
member of the body who has not served an apprentice
ship of at least three yeara, and at the time of appli
cation must be twenty-one years of age. The stated
meetings are to be held atleast onoe every week.
THE HOKBE-SHOEES MOVING.
The journeymen horse! shoers held a meeting last night
at a house near Sixth and Bace streets, to form a
trade onion for mutual benefit. The meeting was of a
private and preliminary character. Mr. McGough pre-.
sided, and there was a large attendance.
After considerable discussion, it was resolved that tha
journeymen horse-shoera of Philadelphia be invited (o
form an association, whose object it shall be to advance
and preterit the interests of the trade. It is represented
tot the present wages are betow the coat of living; that
they he ve been so for sometime past, and may likely con
tinue so,.unless the workingmen determine no longer to
submit io low wages: It was urged, that inasmuch as
the “ boss” blacktmUhs bad recently re.olved to charge
extra prices for the work done in their shops, they shonld
now be willing to concede some of these advanced profits
to their employees.
The best feeling has apparently existed between em
ployers arid employees in the-horse-shoeing trade, and
it is thought that no diffionlty will be experienced tn ob
taing higher rates of wages. The meeting, last night,
resolved npori no definite action, other than to appoint
the proper committees, to report at a future meeting
such articles of association as may be necessary for the
government of the horse-shoers as an organization.

Mr. Turner Hamilton exhibited a number of postage

Mr. W. Bowell, of Hew Jersey, exhibited apparatus
and performed experiments for toe purpose of disproving,
the theory oi Mr. Frost that steam superi-heated apart
from water possessed extra expansive power.
Dr. Emerson, of this city, spoke at some length in re
lation to experiments whioh he had made in raising cot
ton in the State of Delaware,: He stated that he had
planted soma acres of South Carolina cotton in Dela
ware, and bad found that it conldbe raised with profit
from one to two degrees farther north than it had gene
rally bern cultivated, and of a quality equal tothebMt
Georgia upland cotton [ that be-considered it remunera
tive at one hundred pounds to the acre, and it then paid
better than Indian corn; andthat it would be remunera
tive at one-half toe price now received. He advised Sli
farmers in toe latitude of Annapolis and thereabouts to
put in a few acres, which,' with’ easy culture, would
make a remunerative crop. “
Bobbed ms Employers —last-even
ing a young man, aged about sixteen yeqr3,-Whose name '
we withhold from the public on account of too respect
ability of his parents, was before Alderman Beitler upon
toe charge of having robbed his employers, the firm of
Moore, Brother, & Co., in Market street, between Fouttop
and Fifth streets, of fancy articles, anch as combs, neck
ties, handkerchiefs, Ac., to the value of about $505.
The lad, upon being taken into custody, stated that he
had stolen the goods at the instance of Aaron Usamas,
who keeps a second-hand store in the neighborhood of
Second and George streets. After stealing the goods
Isamah would purchase them at almost nothing, and dis
pose of them immediately to other parties. Of the $509
worth that was taken, the lad received for them only
about $3O. •
In answer to an inquiry as to how he became ac
quainted with Isaman, the hoy stated that the former
aocested him in too streets white carrying packages to
and from the store. Isaman persuaded him to rob his
employer and dispose of tho plunder to him. Detectives
Brown and Levy had the matter in charge, and.'sncceeded
in recovering about $l5O worth of the property, besides
arresting two other men who bought the goods from Isa
man. The latter was held in the sura of $2,500 to
answer the charge at coutt. The other two receivers
were also held to answer at court. The oase of the boy is
held under consideration.
Cottags Houses.—A new row of
, handsome cottage'hotues, of brown stone, similar to
those of Woodland Terrace, will be started next spring oh
Broad street; below Passynnk road, as soon as the first
row of (he same kind, now building in the same neigh
borhood, Shall'have been A beginning was
- made at . ibis class of improvements in that vicinity a
number of years ago, and this row will be the third of its
kind. Many cottage houses cf.smail size have been built
in the sonthweatern section of the city of late years, and
.this effort looks as though the style might be very gene
rally adopted in that disttiot, to which It is admirably
adapted. Nearly all the new dwellings erected on South
Broad street have front enclosed patches of greenery.
Hnndrcdß of new dwellings will, also, be erected on
Bush Bill, the southwestern section of the city, West
Philadelphia, and other districts. These are the usual
run of improvements, of which every year sees an addi
tion of about fifteen imndrSf For these buildings we
observe that the name of terrace, so popular in England,
and whose adoption here v e suggested a number of years
- ago, is snpersedisg that of row; We hate now Hamilton
Terrace, Woodland Terraco, and the new row, now half
built, on South Broad street; below peiasyunk road, is
called A üburn Terrace, to be snccseded, next summer,
by another in the same locality. ’
Ehbalmbbs and Undertakers.—
Great complaint is made at the exorbitant vates'charged
by underlakers andembajmers in and around the city of
Washington. We saw a bill a day or two slnoe for S7O.
This was simply for embalming and shipping a body
from Anlietam— the cost of freight being additional, also
the cerements and coffin. Speculating undertakers
locate themselves in the vicinity of every battle-field and
drive their vocation among those who come to look for
the bodies of the dead. Offioers have no means of giving
other attention to letters received concerning those in
their command who may be killed, than to hand over the
correspondence to some of these undertakers. From their
heavy charges there is no escape. If there is trouble in
finding a body upon the battle-field, the cost is in pro
portion. As high ss three hundred dollars: have been
paid for the service alone Embalmers and undertakers
bunt in couples and work together, and ohargv what
they please. .A uniform price should be fixed'for this
work, so that persons may know what it will Cost before
ttiey undertake to procure the body of a friend.
The Germantown W ateb Works.—
The gentlemen appointed by Jndge Hndlow to make a
scientiflo and practical investigation into the character
oi the water furnished by the Germantown Water works,

plans so as to carry out the wishes of the court. The
water will be anal; zed, and the head-waters of the
stream will be visited so as to ascertain the character of
the Impurities'flowing, into it. ..The gentlemen having
the matter in charge are Professors B. E. Bogers and
Joseph Leidy ; Isaac B. Oassin, Chief Engineer of the
Water Works, and Strickland Kneass, Ohirt Engineer
and Surveyor. |

Union Bank of Dover, Delaware, and six 3& notes .on
the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Kent county,
at Ohestertown,. Maryland. The notes seem to-be tsmied
from the fi-vs- dollar plate of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Philadelphia, and is a good imitation.
EXCITEMENT AT TEE NAVY YARD. —
Testerday a portion of the crow of the Young- Bover,
.whose pay was due, their tern* of service having ap
plied, proceeded to the navy yard in a body and de
manded their pay. Some of the orewhad been paid* off

soon as arrangements for that purpose could be made.
The party yesterday were considerably under the- in
fluence of honor, end were urged on by a number of
land-eharka who are ever ready to fleece the poor
Bailors. Mad it not been for these rascals the occurrence
would not have taken place. Tha men. after lingering!
about the yard for a short time, creating some little ex
citement, retired to their homes.
A Successful Fair.— I The fair for
the benefit of Eick and wounded soldiers, lately held, at
the residence*of Mies Josephine Park, 224 South Eleventh
street, netted the Bam of SSI6Q. This was expended by
yurebasing delicacies and other articles not rurniahed by
the - Government to the sick and wounded soldiers.
They ware then distributed among the hospitals in West
Philadelphia and in the southwestern part of the city.
This was one of the moat successful private fairs held
tbia season; and the young ladies who had it in charge
deserve great credit for their energy and attention to
the brave but unfortunate defenders of our country. ~

A Grand Procession of the Loyal Inhabitants.
- The Union citizens of Memphis, Tennetsse, had an im
mense demonstration on the 10th inst. Preparations had
been making for it for some time previous, and when the
day came around all the. loyal people, of beth sexes,
turned out and made a display which had never been
equalled in that city. The Bulletin describes It as
follows: /
theoedee-of EEOCESSIOH.
- B. W. Sharp, marshslof the bay, rode at the head of
the procession, baton in hand. A band of muslcrollow
ed, playing national strains; behind it was borne a mag
nificent United States flag. After the band followed a
ear of immense proportions, drawn by twelve gray
horses. It was covered with pink, and in the centre rose
a dome of blue, resting on pillars. Within the circle of
the dome stood a tall young lady, habited in the costume
of the Goddess of Liberty. Her dress was white; around
her, disposed in graceful folds, floated the stars aud
stripes. On her head wss a cap, in'front of which ap-'
peartd a star, with the.motto-ju Liberty.” In her right
hand she bore <m a Bpear thepmblematic cap of liberty;
in her left hand was a shield.- ’A beautifol young lady,
bearing in her hand the Union flag, stood as her support
ets on either baud. Seated around her were thirty-four
young ladies, representing the States of the Union, These
were all drested in white, with garlands round their;
heeds, and decked in streamers and rosettes of red, white,
and bine.-
The car. was followed by'a large Union flag, then came
the president and officers of the Washington Onion Club*
walking two and two, wearing rosettes and streamers of
red, white and bine on the left breast. Nino non com
missioned officers came next, supporting the magnificent
army flag of the post; after which came a military band.
Hembers cf the dab in immense numbers succeeded,' the
line heie and there dotted with banners bearing appro
priate mottoes and flags, and in front of the German por
tion of the prcoess on a large and very fine-portrait of
Washington. A very interesting feature of the proses
aion here was a party of thirty-four boys, in shirt sleeves
and white pants, and hearing rosettes, and each one car
rying a staff surmounted by Btieamers. Three rows of
four each came first, followed by a single one. This made
up the “ Old Thirteen”; the representatives of the rein Un
der of the Btates followed.
A band of music succeeded ;tben came the German
Union Club, with banner containing mottoes in the Ger
man language, the Memphis Turner Cadets, citizens, a
military band, citizens on horseback, and finally the
immense procession, throughout Its route, was brought
to a termination by citizens in carriages, from most.of
the windows of which were suspended Union flags.
A SPEECH FROM A TENNESSEE UNIONIST—HIS
VIEWS ON TtlE' REBELLION.
The procession moved forward to the theatre, where
an address was deUversd'Uy Mr, Sharp. He gave the
following view of the rebellion, &c.:
The Bepublican party, with becoming forbearance and
patriotism, .peaceably submitted to the election of a
Northerns man with Sonihtrn princlpies (or no princi
ples at nil) but four y ears previous, and It was ‘required
of the South to submit also. Suppose Bell or Breckin
ridge should have been elected, would the Northern and
have sought to dissolve the Union 1 No,
no one believes that they would; The great West—that
country now grown up into the proportions or empire
,—wonld have stood, as she now stands, boldly and vi
gorously battling:'for ihe supremacy of law, for our
3 Con»t: y.' This febellion was not the premeditated works
%nd :deslgns'of the people of the South, nor-wasit in
any particular Stare the calm, dispassionate juJg
ment; cf ihe people. . I say this day that, even in'
the Slates of South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana,
the free, unbiassed judgment of the people was
against disunion; it wbb so in Tenneaee aad all the
other Btates.
RESOLUTIONS- ADOPTED.
A series of resolutions was afterwards read and
adopted; asserting the devotion of the citizens to the
Union and ; the President, enlngizir g the Army of the
West, and providingfor the celebration of the Bth day of
January, 18631

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
, FHrr.APEi.rnia, November 20, 1882.
There was greater firmness in Government securities
on the street to-day, and holders were higher in their,
demands. Money is easier, and the low; rates of a month
ago seem likely to rule in a very Bhort time. For old
demands 12i%aT.2i}( was paid, with a brisk traffic.
Certificates of indebtedness improved slightly. The sub-,
scrijtions to the five-twenty NatfonaMoan looted up
$150,000, the subscribers being mostly our country
banks, some.of our city homes assisting.
Transactions at the Stock Board were very lively, and
a roalirsaticn of better prices in some securities effected.
The most cheering feature wag an advance in Govern
ment securities, the sixes being in demand at 104, the
