LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL" WASTLINGTON, February 27, 1863. Not many months ago the European spec tators of the dreadful struggle in the United States were either indifferent or hostile. We had been so basely and so long slandered to the people, especially in England and France, end had had so little. opportunity to appear in our own *fence, that they were found too ready to believe that our civil war was only the premonitory symptom of a de servedly disgraceful death. Even in quar- ters where the , Americans supposed they had a right to look for friends they foluid uo- thing but coldness. The very Reformers, and leaders, and aPogales of Liberalism even tle Kossuths, Garibaldis, Louis Blanes, and Victor Ilugos—were as chary of sym pathy for us as we had been generous o praises and pennies for khem in former clays and not a few of the . radicals contemplated our troubles with a good deal of the phi. losopliy that induces the observer of a quarrel to thank Heaven that he is not in it. Now, however much this sort of contempt for American matters may have roused the noirit of self.ilehendenne Itmolut ffiahed Ik OtikilL to have done, and however it may have impressed upon our hearts the whole some leSson of avoiding future idolatry of every foreign celebrity or demagogue that may visit'our shores, it was not certainly a disagreeable thing to find, as the war went on, that many who started with open contempt or utter unconcern for our cause, gradually became our earnest and eloquent friends. One of the objects of the tyrants of the Old World has been to keep their people in ignorance of a country, which, .if too well known, might prove to be a dan gerous example. The American war has accomplished wonders, however, so far as our European audiences are . coneerned. With all their equanimity, they now find that they must take sides. The most stolid philosopher will run from a burning house, and even the imperturbable - Indian can not ignore an earthquake. When our con flict began to affect the markets over the seas, and when manufactures stopped and laborers starved, the American quption and American affairs began to enter' into the calculations of Cabinets, and clubs, and newspapers, until at last the "mud-sills" and "under-current" of society -- the people—caught vivid glimpses of the truth, and felt the veil of false hood and prejudice, so craftily thrown over their judgments, falling froin their eyes. Their sufferings from the Ameri can war forced them to study into the -causes of that war ; and when they found that slavery in the 'United States . had de prived theinof work, as the blood-reative of slavery in ATnyland, the aristocracy, had de- prived them of ordinory pay for work when they had it, they reasoned from the cause to the consequence with fearless candor. It only needed the spontaneous generosity of the NeW York merchants and others, who • sent ant immense supplies for the relief of the sufferings Working people of England, to increase and disseminate the right spirit among:the masses, who there, as in every country under the sun, are the natural friends of our institutions. Their compelled idle ness led them into now regions of thought, and it was not surprising that, they should institute comparisons between their hapless and ,helpless condition, and that prosperous condition of the people of the United States ; nor that they should long to take advantage of the generous offers of our Government. Hence, their fervid ap peal for employment in America, in the let ters first published, in the Journal of Com- Inercp, and now embodied in official Con gressional-yeports ; and hence their address, full of gratitude, to the President, now go ing the rounds of the public journals, in which they, show how fully they sympa thize with us: This wide-spread, and still-spreading feeling among the laborers of England, was at first lightly treated by the aristocracy ; but they are now " unlearn ing their contempt." John Bright and Richard Cobden are no longer to be de spised us the chiefs of faction. They will soon be at the head of an organization that may be able to hold the balance be tween the two great parties of England. Interesting as is this review of British poli tics, it is sure to become even more so as time rolls on. The measures of the present Congress will produce unmingled amaze ment even in nations where our marvellous resources have been the subjects of surprise and alarm, while the letter of the Presi dent, in reply to the workingmen of England, will show that a cause so deeply planted in right, and so powerfully hacked by a resolute people, cannot be put down by domestic insurrection Internal Revenue Decision. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has de cided that Whenever a manufacturer shall use or shall remove for consumption or use anyarticles, goods, wares, or merchandise, which, if removed for Pale, would be liable to taxation as manufactures, he shall be assessed on the saleable value of the Sr.. tides, goods, wares, pr merchandise so used or so removed for consumption or use. It is not neces sary,' in order to render a manufacturer-liable to taxation under this decision, that the articles so re• moved for consumption or use should-be removed from the premises, or even from the building is which they were made.

Our Government has been officially informed of the action of the Mexican Government in relation to the invasion of Texas by bands of Mexicans. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has instructed the Governor of Tamaulipas to make solemn declara tion to the rebel authorities that such incursions are not only discountenanced by the• Mexican Go vernment, but meet with their stern condemnation, and the Governor is further required, as far as possi ble, to prevent such invasionaof the neighboring soil. Should the Texans or other rebels retaliate by, in turn, invading Mexico, as is threatened, they are to be treated as bandits, while those from the Mexican aide, passing into Texas, are to forfeit all protection of the Mexican Government. Prize Adjudication in New York.

He took the ground that, as the President had coupled colonization with his emancipation scheme, if the negro was to remain in this country he could only remain In a subordinate capacity as a slave, and a legislative body has no right to educate the children of a State, except it may be its duty to educate those who are to take part in the affairs of the Government, and he presumed we had not reached that point where it is proposed to elevate the negro to the condition of a voter and one of %the go vernors of the country. Mr. GRIMES said the very crude notions of the Senator from Virginia, on the subject of education, explained some things which might otherwise not be understood. It might be the plan in the- Sena tor's section not to educate any one, only those who were to take part in governing the nation; but he thanked God that 'he came from a section where they entertained different ideas on the subject of education, and where nobler and loftier sentiments prevailed. He believed every man should be taught to read the laws he was governed by, and to read the word of God. The people of his State did. not entertain any such low and grovelling ideas on the subject of education as those expressed by the Sena tor from Virginia. Mr. MORRILL (Rep.), of Maine, said he was astonished to hear such objections against this bill, when the Senator from Virginia should get up and make argument against popular education. Great God I has it come to the point at this day when a Senator of the United States makes an argument against popular education, when every civilized nation in the world has given it their serious at tention, and deemed it of the highest importance! He came from a section where they educated all children ; and if New England had anything to boast of it was her system of public education; which gave every child, whether high or low born, a fair chance in life. Mr. OARLILE asked - if the Legislature of his State had ever incorporated companies for the edu cation of colored children. Mr. MORRILL said his State had incorporated a system which educated every child, without refer ence to color or complexion. The negro was put upon an equal footing in that respect. The State knows no distinction in its duty of education. Mr. DAVIS (U.), of Kentucky, movedto postpone the bill. Rejected. The bill was then passed. Yeas 29. Nays— Messrs.

Mr. HOWARD (Rep.) offered an amendment, ex cluding all property which had been or is intended to be used against the United States, such as ships, munitions of war, &c., from the provisions of the bill. Adopted. Mr. WILSON (U.), of Missouri, moved to strike out the section authorizing the agent of theTreasary Department to buy cotton, rice, sugar, and to bacco. Mr. DAVIS, in the course ofsome remarirs on the bill, said that many officers had engaged in collecting large amounts of plunder, and he understood that Gen. Butler had, through a brother of hie, engaged largely in this plunder. Mr. CHANDLER said that Gen. Butler had ac counted to the Treasury for every dollar of the pro perty he had taken. Mr. DAVIS said Gen. Butler did not act in his own name; but his brother was his agent, and ga thered up an immense amount of plunder. He saw by the Intellfgencer that this brother and another person were in possession of the Miliaria estate, which was worth before the war three mil lions. There was a gentleman who had a large amount of plate,' worth $50,000, deposited in a safe at New Orleans, and a fine house, with- furniture, valued at $5,000. General Butler sent out an armed force, which forced open the safe and then took pos session of the furniture. General Butler had com pelled persons having property to sell it to him at a reduced price. The people of New Orleans had denounced him as a plunderer and tyrant.. Mr. WILSON (Rep.), of Massachusetts, made a report from the committee on the bill to limit the number of major and brigadier generals, -which was agreed to. The report makes, In all, seventy major generals, and two'huntired and seventy-rive brigadiers. The Senate then took a recess till 7 o'clock. EVENING SESSION. Mr. HARRIS (Rep.), of New York, called up the bill to facilitate the taking of depositions in the United States, to be used in other countries. Passed. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill for the collection of abandoned property in the insurrectionary districts, the pending question being on the motion to strike out the section authorizing the agent of the treasury to purchase cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco. lidr. WILSON (R.), of Massachusets, referred to the remarks of the Senator from -Kentucky, con cerning General Butler. He believed that the Sen ator was entirely mistaken in hie statement. Gen. Butler had turned-over to General Banks nearly a million dollars worth of property, and put into the treasury nearly three.-quarters of a million. He had done more than almost any other man to support the Government, and restore order in New Orleans. General Butler had supported nearly thirty thou sand poor people, and levied contributions on the rich to help procure the means. He thought these imputations against General Butler were entirely uncalled for and unjust. He did not believe Gen. Butler-ever received a farthing wrongfully at New Orleans, or attempted to do so. DAVIS repeated what ho bad heard, and said that at the next session he would call for a committee of investigation into the doings of Gen.' Butler. • Mr. WILSON (Rep:), of Massaehusetti, said .these charges were made by men who hated Gen, Butler. Every man who acted with vigor and en ergy against the rebels had been slandered and abused. No man had done more than Gen. Butler, and he hoped the Senator would be true to his pro mise, and call for a committee to investigate his course. He believed these imputations would be found utterly unfounded in fact. Mr. DAVIS acknowledged that men who had done most for the country were aspersed, and the high est instance of this was the case of Gen. lelcolellan. At the commencement of the war he believed that Adjutant General Thomas was a traitor and sympa thizer with treason, and he (Davis) had offered a resolution to investigate his conduct, but the Sena tor from Massachusetts had objected. - Mr. RICE (Dem.), of Minnesota, said he believed there was no more loyal man than General Thomas, and he never shrank from any investigation; It would have been a bright day for him if the resolu tion appointing a committee to investigate his con duct had been pained. . As for General Butler, he (Rice) was here during the dark days, when General Butler was our only stay, when he had command at Annapolis, and he thought it was a great mistake when General Butler was taken away from New Orleans, and a dark day for the loyal people of that city, He did not believe General Butler ever took a dollar from any loyal man. Mr. DAVIS asked how it was, then, that Bailees • brother became so rich. Mr. RICE said he knew nothing about General Butler's brothers, and there was not a particle of evidence before the Senate that he ever took a dollar. It was .a mere newspaper report, and be thought that such grave charges should not be made on such slender proof. Rebels, and sympathizers with treason, were apt to complain of a man like Butler. Mr. DAVIS tasked what the Senator thought of the gross order of General Butler with regard to women. Mr. RICE said he could not judge of the provoca tion for that order, but from Gen. Butler's explana tion of it, it was evident that it did not mean what the rebels tried to make out of it. In regard to the. gentleman who says he lost hie plate and furniture, he would say that he was either a traitor or else Gen. Butler had never touched a dollar of his pro . Mr. DAVIS said he understood that this gentle man was as loyal as the Senator from Minnesota. Mr. RICE said he made no professionti of loyalty. Mr. DAVIS said he had better make none. Mr. CHANDLER (Rep.), of Michigan, raised a point of order, that this discussion was entirely ir relevant. The CHAlRdecided the point was correctly taken. Mr. POWELL (Dem.), of Kentucky, spoke against the bill, declaring it to be unconstitutional and a Brod mitt age on the people. Mr. CHANDLER said the bill was tmact on the rebels, and he did not expect the Senator from gen lucky to support it. lie did not expect him to sup port anything calculated to support the Govern ment. A rebel has sacrificed all Ma rights. has no rights to life, liberty, and happiness. Even lile was a boon to him. Mr. POW ELL said he did not expect. the Senator from Michigan to sustain anything which had a rest minable amount of honesty or constitutional law In it. He contended that the bill had nothing to do with the rebels at all. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Clark, and others. On _motion of Mr. WILSON (Rep.), of Massachu setts, the bill was postponed. Mr. WILSON called up the ;joint resolution giving the thanks of Oongrese to General Rosecrarts, and the officers and men under his command, for their gallantry at Murfreesboro. Passed. After an executive session, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Steamer Caliline.

FYNE PICTUTLE OY GENUMCL SULLY I /TY GirrarrusrsT.---We have just received e capital card picture of Brigadier General Alfred Sully, taken by Mr. P. Gutekunst,, Nos. 701' and MS Arch street. Mr. G. has also jinat executed at his galleries a superb imperial-size picture of the General, of all of which duplicates can now be had at his counters. General f•Sully is a son of the distingulobed artist, Thomas Sully, and has been in sixteen battles in Virginia ; did good service in the Mexican war ; is a graduate of West Point,. and one of the most loyal officers in the regular service. In viewed his dis tinguishing services, in this war, he was, at the unanimous request of the officers of his brigade, nominated for a brigadier generalship by the Presi dent just before the battle of Antietam. We may also state that the rush for the McClellan , pictures continues unabated.- A POPULAR "DOMESTIC INSTITUTION." —There are few business firms that have ever suc ceeded in rendering their places of business as indis pensable to the masses of the people, especially as it relates to their domestic comforts and enjoyments, as the respectable old confectionery house of E. G. Whitman& Co., Chestnut street, below Fourth. These gentlemen have endeared themselves to the youth, especially, of our city, by their choice and de licious preparations for the palate, and the fact is, the head of every well-regulated family now feels it incumbent upon him, as a good husband and father, to carry a budget of these wholesome edibles home from E. G. Whitman & Co.'s, at least at the end of each week, and as often during the middle of it as he wishes to make his return home doubly welcome. FEARS OF VIE FOTURE.—The sylupa thizers are using every artifice to darken the pros pects of the Union cause. They profess to see ahead speedy intervention on the part of Franc% if not of England, Spain, Russia, China, and Japan; that the army of the Government is becoming obstrepe-. rous for the want of a copperhead to lead them; that the rebels will soon invade the North in sheer desperation to obtain salt and whisky, and that the whole North, is now "bound very soon to insur rect P) Amid all this twaddle and party gasconade, it is a sublime spectacle to see Dlr. W. W. Alter, of this city, pursuing the even and patriotic tenor of his way by selling to all who call upon him at his yard, Ninth street, above Poplar, the best Coal at very reasonable prices, thus - demonstrating the wis dom and philosophy of every man attending to his own business and being true to the cause of the Union. NEW STRING CLOTHING—WHERE TO OR DER Your{ Suirs.—The great advantages which Messrs. C. Somers Ss Son (large Clothing Manufac turers and Importers of Clothe, No. 625 Chestnut street, under Jayne's Hall,) gave to their patrons last season, they are prepared to give, and even to improve upon, this spring. Their stock of fresh cloths, cassimerea, vestings, &c., is large and com plete, and their facilities for making fashionable suits to order promptly, and at moderate prices, are unsurpassed by any other house in the country. LARGE LOT OF BAGS.—We invite at tention to the advertisement of Mr. Geo. Grigg, Nos. 219 and MI Church alley, which appears in another column of our paper this morning.

THE S'rECK PlANO.—Among the nu merous Piano. daily manufactured and advertised in America, none have so marvellously won their way into popular favor as those. of Mr. George Steck, sold in this city by Mr. S. E. Gould, 632 Chestnut street. Scarcely a. year has elapsed since the latter gentleman first recognized their numerous fine qualities, and determined to introduce them to this market, and vet there are few localities in the State or city wherein the instruments have not been heard, through one or more specimens, purchased by persons who instantaneously recognized their superiority. A growth of popularity so unexampled must be based upon underlying causes of mechanical completeness. No amount of business energy could compass it alone. The musical profession of this city and New York spontaneously recognized thepe culler merits of the instruments, while many of them—men of years of experience—pronounced them superior to anything yet designed,. American or European. In eliminating the peculiar points of excellence which have elicited this wide-spread pro feasional and popular verdict, the predominant fea ture to be noticed is that of unusual brilliancy, tem pered by a liquidity such as entirely obviates that sharp, clashing tone which grates so harshly upon the ear in many other instruments. Thalberg, with his inimitable and peculiar style of ornamentation, would meet in just such quality of tone. Then, the touch - of the Steck piano is remarkably elastic; the keyeereepond instantaneously with the slightest preemie, a great feature in the execution of graceful arpeggios, cadences, and the like. Add to all this, .the power of .; a4taiiii piano in the case of a i,quare; a' singing tone for the interpretation of melody, and , extraordhiary eyenness for /eget* passages, and little' 'or no room reinfirfis forivonderment that the intrin sic merits orthe manufacture have so-rapidly sent it into all classes of society. The workmanship of the Steck pianos, furthermore, strikes all comers at first glance. They are singularly . symmetrical, graceful, and 'elegant; and the quality of the rose wood well selected and seasoned • for the many changes of temperature in our climate. Mr. Steak commenced several' years ago, in a moderate way, self-reliant and unaided. His career - since then has been one of unexampled success, not due to extrane ous advertisement, (for he bad not the means,) but to his own skill and attention. At this.daihe finds himself unable to fill punctually many. of the nume rous orders which come flooding upon him. Mr. Gould, of this city, alone taxes the energies of the New York establishment heavily to-respond to his constant demand for the pianos,. while his ware rooms are constantly, filled with purchasers, or with members of the profession, who drop in to test their superior qualities. There are but few examples of more ralid success on record in any branch of me chanism. lige Sales.
