Each hoped that some good stranger Would pass that way, and kindly help Them o'er the used and danger. A stranger came, he saw their plight, Patent leathers were forgotten, Be helped the child with silken gown, But not the ono 'with cotton.

HEADQUARTERS, AMIN OP THE POTOMAC, The Second (Gen, Conch's) Corps was reviewed to-day by General Hooker. li - ever did a more de lightful day dawn. The sun shone bright, olear, and warm ; the fields and roads were dry, and all things_ favorable for a fine display of the corps. In the ab 7 _ sence of General Couch, General Hancock ; was in' command. By his order, the several divisions were drawn up in order on high ground, in a large, open field, at 9%, o'clock. The scene was magnilleent.,, The bright new banners, streaming by the side of the Old battle-riddled flags, gracefully gave theirfolds to, the breeze. The music from the bands sounded wide over the field, through the clear, still air, and the whole scene was one of beauty and grandeur: At 10,4 o'clock the Commander-hvOhief of the army, attended by his staff, rode on the field , where the corps was formedin columns of brigades; Com meneing with the artillery on the extreme right,' Gen. Hooker rode 'along in front_and rear of each brigade, closely reviewing all the men and accoutre- Tho aeneral took. a favorable position on, high ground, and the Whole corps - passed befoie hie in review. _The several brigades and divisioria glade a creditable appearance, and the review passed Oft in a manner highly complimentary to the °Moen in command. General Hooker expressed himself welt pleased with the condition of the command, as well as with the appearance and behavior of the several regiments,- 7 N. Y. Tribune.: ' DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTHWEST. Movements of the Troops--Conditiou of the Sotitiers—General Benton and Ids Disci. pline—Good Spirits of the Army. PILOT Erma, Mo., Feb. 26, 1363.—The lowa Bri gade, composecrof the 21st, 22d, and 23d lowa, went from Bellevue Valley to Iron Mountain yesterday. The Ist Divilion of what was once the Army : of Southeast Missouri is still in Bellevue Valley, and will probably move to Iron Mountain in a few days. The 2d Brigade of the thi Division is camped at Ar cadia, and will join the other forces at Iron Moun tain soon. The soldiers are in good health and line spirits, and eager to get out of Southeast Missouri. General Davidson having reassumed command of the district of St. Louis, General W. P. Benton is now in command of the army ; and I am sure - -there is not a general in all the armies of the Republic more universally beloved by hie men than he is. As sound a patriot and brave a soldier as ever buckled on sword, with a big head and a big heart, able to plan a campaign or a battle well, and with the per severance, steadiness and pluck .to carry out, his plans, he unites that Indispensable quality of -*good general—the faculty of commanding the perfect obe dience of his men, and at the same time their .un bounded esteem and affection. With that quick, keen sense of honor which characterizes the soldier everywhere, whether he carries a musket or wears a star, he gives his men to understand that there is no prouder badge of honor in the army than a clean gun and well-kept cartridge box ; that the private who is brave, always ready for duty, and does his duty well, is as good as the highest racer in the service. And this doctrine of his, in its practical workings, leads to no bad results. Ms men observe toward him more of the outward forms of respect than any aristocrat could ever. command, though he made the most of the "pomp and circumstance of war, ,, and this respect is from the heart. Though I have been with the army of Southeast lYlissourr ever since it left Patterson on its memorable campai ,, n,7 have yet to hear the first disrespectlul or disparaging word spoken of General Benton. In the petty trials and vexations of campaign life, he treats us all. like a kind, indulgent father, and we all know he is a lion in battle. Military etiquette forbids me:telling your read ers how many men are in this army, •but fo their number I do not believe there is any finer body of men in the service, and.there are enough of us to make a handsome reinforcement for any of the big armies across the lllississippi. .There will be a grand shout when we finally cut loose from Southeast Missouri, and few tears will be shed when we bid a long farewell to all the scenes of our marching and countermarching from village to hamlet, and from hamlet to vil lage—the mud, the rocks, the rapid streams to cross with the pontoon train lumbering along two days in• the rear the false alarms, the scares, the sham lights, the imaginary enemy always "in front," and a thousand other memories which the pen of the historian will soon write down. THE LATE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN SOURI. A terrible accident occurred on Saturday after noon, on the Iron Dlountain,liadroad,hy 3 which teen soldiers of 001. Tioyd , a Twenty-fourth Miami Uri - volunteers were killed and injured. We have ob tained the following particulars: The train was a large one, drawn by two locomo tives, and contained the Twenty-fourth — regiment of Missouri volunteers, numbering about five hundred' men. The regiment had a few days ago returned with the army of Southwest Missouri to Pilot Knob, and at the time of the accident was on its way to Rolla, where ,it was to be permanently posted. To the locomotive were attached Elope six or seven flat cars, on which were laden the camp fixtures, and all the heavy baggage of the regiment. , On these cars also were a number of soldiers, placed there to watch over the baggage. The second locomo tive drew after it the passenger cars in which were the soldiers. As the train reached a point on the road about thirty miles below this city, and a short distance bet yond the point where the track leaves the Missis sippi river, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and while running at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, a large tree, of probably Itlinches in diame ter, suddenly fell across the track, just in front of the moving locomotive. At the time of the falling the .distance was so short between the locomotive and the train that it was impossible for the engineer to check the train In the slightest. The collision was fearful. The forward locomotive and all of the fiat freight cars between the two locomotives were . crushed and jammed together in, the most terrible manner. The soldiers on the freight cars suffered dreadfully, Three were killed outright, rive wounded seriously, and a large number slightly. . • The following are the names of the killed and wounded: Killed—Preston Willard, Co. H; Johnson Breeden, 0; Larkin Holt, A. Wounded—Charles Robins, Co. H, severely; John J. Chastain, D, slightly; John P. Wade, I, badly; Abraham Shipman, C, slightly; Thomas Bran', B, severely; Willis Pepper, C, severely; Edward How ard, H, seriously; Samuel Atkins, 0, slightly; Alex. ander Barr, 0, slightly; James Shipman, 0, slight, Ix John B. Guinn, A, slightly Wil li am Digby, G, .gheVirillm. H. ‘ B i l e sh relilg i i r iii s y li gni t • i t y. whose names we could not learn. A contraband on board was very seriously hurt. Dr. 3. Little, assistant surgeon of the regiment, was, fortunately, on the train, and rendered prompt and efficient service to the wounded. Dr. W. IL White, first surgeon of the 21st lowa, and fir. H. West, a citizen surgeon, arrived soon after the dis aster, and gave all the assistance in their power. The wounded were speedily extricated from the wreck, and their bruises and cuts dressed as well as the circumstances of the case would admit. De spatches were at once sent to the city, from the scene' of the disaster, and a train was hastily forwarded to the relief of the suffering soldiers. This train re turned to this city with the dead and wounded yes terday morning, and proceeded at mice to Rolla. The accident was a most singular one, and con sidering the weight of the train and the size of .the tree it is only wonderful that greater injury 'was notinflicted. The troops in the passenger cars were not seriously hurt, the poor fellows on the flat ears between the two locomotives receiving the principal shock and injury.—§7. Louis Democrat. .

CirAIILESTOri, Feb. 26.—The latest adcleeß [rein i Port Royal state that the Yankee fleet now there numbers 123 vessels, including 3 frigates and 20 gun boats, the rest chiefly transports. There are now 30,000 men collected there, and more expected. „ GENERAL PRYOR • GLORIFIED FOR HIS EXPLOITS. The Express glorifies over Gen. Pryor's exploits on the Blackwater, announcing that he has done so well there that lie ought not to be superseded. GENERAL PIERCE • HAILED AS A PEACE DEMOCRAT. The Express announces with a degree of satisfac tion that Frank Pierce has taken sides with the Pence Democrats in' New Hampshire against the Union party. ARRIVAL OF VESSELS AT SOUTHERN PORTS. • The Richmond Enquirer of February 24th says The splendid steamer Giraffe entered the port of Wilmington a day or two since, from Nassau. The steamer Cornubia left the mime port a few nights before. The Charleston Courier of the 16th ult. says: Much to our surprise, three fine steamers, with large and valuable cargoes, arrived here al an early hour Saturday. They are the T. D. Wegner, Leopard, and Ruby, all from Nassau. They bring the news that the steamer Florida, Captain Mafilt, has been at Nassau to coal up, an d it was there at the time she was reported to be captured by the Yankees. The Yankee truce boat, which had been ashore and which became a wreck, had our troops taken off • by a bark, and it was said at Nassau that the Flo rida had captured the latter with 'TOO troops on board. The following steamers were left at Nassau: Eagle, Emma, Nicholas I, Havelock, and Calypso. The latter vessel arrived out on the 9th ult., from this port, and the Ariso, which sailed from 'here in her company, is supposed to have passed out safely.' Captain Coxetter, of the Herald, has taken charge of the tine aide-wheel steamer Havelock. The An toci= had proceeded to Havana In charge of Mr. Thayer, her mate. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The Petersburg Express " cannot believe that the North will ever submit to the despotic measure" of conscription. It fondly anticipates revolution against it in the loyal States. The same paper begs earnestly that Pryor may not be superseded by an officer out-ranking him, iu the Blackwater Department. It begs "so hard for him, as to make the matter look as though it anticipated that Jeff Davit was about to supersede him. Twenty. five or thirty prisoners broke jail at Knox ville, Tenn., not long since. The Mobile correspondent of the Charleston bier . Miry argues that it is impossible to take Mobile, as an army cannot be. landed from : transports in the bay in less than 26 days.. - Yankee deseiters.put down our force at Newbern af0,660 to 10,Ce0 strong ; the rebels believe it less. Gov. Jon Brown, of Georgia; has donated. to .the widows and wives of rebel soldiers between three and lour thousand dollars' w6rth of corn. - Major Frank G. Ruffin pitches into Senator H. S. Foote, through the columns of the Enquirer, because Foote had accused him of corruption in the Cooled CommisearyDepartment. Ruffin says Foote is 70 years of age, which saves him from being called out. The Enquirer, in an editorial admitting that the Federal, blockade "has shut them almOst entirely out from the outside world," says that the most .mischief this has done them is in affording their op ponents an opportunity to , manufacture public opinion for the world. THE STEAMER NASHVILLE DESTROYED. (From the Richmond Examiner, march 2.1 The following despatch hne been received SAVANNAII, Feb. 28.—The steamer Naehville, in Coming Up the Ogeechee. river last night, grounded on the sand bar before Fort McAllister, and was die. covered by the Yankee fleet. A Yankee iron-clad opened fire across the marsh at the Nashville at thirty minutes peat seven o'clock, and continued it until ten o'clock, when an incendiary shell struck the Nashville and set her on fire, and she is now a total wreck. M!krch 6,-1863 The fort fired upon the iron•etad and hit her twice. The other gunboats of the fleet fired at the fort, but did no damage. SKET(.3I{ OF THE NASHVILLE. The Nashville is one of the historic vessels of the rebellion. It was one of the first, seized by the rebels in Charleston in 1861, and was sent to sea-under the rebel flag. She has on more than one occasion since given our blockading fleet a great deal of trouble. It will be remembered that she ran the blockade off Beaufort, North Carolina, early last year, and after being in the harbor for some time, and supposed to Ile, secure, eluded what was deemed to be a strict 'Watch and again escaped to sea. She has several times run between Bermuda and Charleston with a ' contraband cargo; but the last time she entered one of the Southern ports she was so completely hemmed in that she could not escape. It was reported last October that she was fitting out with heavy arma. Meat for the purpose ofjoining the privateer vessels now engaged in the rebel causeand committing their avages upon the open seas. To prevent this a close _watch- has been kept on her movements by Admiral Dupont's - squadron, which vigilance has been finally. rewarded by her complete omrh-eot.iml._ The Nashville wasa side-wheel steamer Clielglatc., hundred tons burden, andwas built at New York in 1854. She belonged to Messrs. Spofibrd, Tileston, Company's Charleston line, and was one of the fastest ships running from New York. The usual passage to Charleston is two and a half days, but, the Nashville usually ran down in fifty-five hours, and has made the trip in forty-six and a half hours. She made her last trip from that port to Charleston : just before the bombardment of Sumpter. Her cap tain'at that time (Murray) was a South Carolina man, and sailed from here with orders not to go into Charleston, if there was any danger. He arrived otr the bar-April 12, while the bombardment was in pro gress, and lay uff and on until the capitulation of Sumpter, when the ship, ran in and was at once seized by the rebel authorities at Charleston. It will be remembered that they had just before seized and released the Marion of the same line. . _ Alter her seizure the Nashville lay for some time idle at the dock in Charleston until she escaped to sea. She was then in the very best order, ns her owners had but a short time before laid out $50,000 in repairing the ship. Her former purser came from Charleston shortly after her capture, and reported .that the vessel was well taken care of, and was .covered with tarpaulins to keep her from the sun. 'She was considered so good a sea-going vessel that the Collins Company twice chartered her to put her on in placeof one of their Liverpool ships, and she made the trip across each time inside of twelve days.

FINANCIAL :AND. COMMERCIAL TEE MONEY MARKET. PHILADELPSITA. March 6, IW3. Gold was again active and excited, but not so much so as yesterday. The fluctuations were not as extensive or sudden, and consequently the market presents an easier appearance. Opening at 160, gold fell slowly to 160. paused. took Mart upward t 01.53,4, and at the close, about 4 P. 51, , is falling off, and 151 is the best offer made. Should any further change occur it will be noticed at the close of the stock remarks. A difference of opinion exists as to the future movements of bullion, many sup posing that it will soon Asa to its former figure; they, of course, forget the law which is causing the decline, and their views have no foundation, except "an idea that it will go up again;" others snore violently assert that it will be par in a month, and. they imagine that because it has declined fifteen per cent. in two days. it must continue to fall until it reaches par. So their opinion is not worth much. Others of more dispassionate views consider that a further decline may be looted for until the true relative value is reached, which is considered at twenty-fire or thirty per cent, premium, but as Use operation of new laws hits often a contrary effect, or as sumes an unexpected phase. they hold that it will take a day or two to decide the matter. In the meantime gold may advance a little or decline largely from fifty per cent, ahont the present price. Money rules at six per cent. Governments continue steady, flee-twenties selling at IfflX.

March 6th. says there has been an Unproved demand for shoes as a number of Wes tern dealers aremaktng their appearance; but our job bers are not over anxious to dispose of their goods, as it is the prevailing opinion that the market has not yet reached its highest point, and prices arc- therefore held firmly, which rather discouragers large transaction. Many retail bnyere are willing to purchase only for Present use and tenet a. further supply to future rates. There is. however, every prospect for a large and pro fitable reason's business, and the small pnrchaqes made early In the season will he followed by later orders to makeup the usual supply. Manufacturers are busy. and. (Mite a number are employed on wholesale orders given lees month. Aants are dull at sue. 25 for Pots, and $13.75 for 'Pearls.

BOSTON BOOT ABD SHOE MARK:BT.—The Shoe and Leather ileVorter, of March 5 says: There are no new features to Tema In the boot and shoe market. Quite a number of buyers from the smaller cities and towns of the Western States are here. and report that they are troubled about audit tr their usual selection . of goods, and are obliged to get their stocks together, by purchasing small quantities in a place. • All goods made up cell readily for casb,.and most manufacturers are ordered up close for nearly the whole of the preser t t month. Some anxiety is felt on account of the impending conscription, which it is feared will take off a large number of the workmen. It is well known that there is no surplus of ,Journeymen in the shoe towns, and even the introduc tion of shoe machinery has not fully supplied the de ficit. Prices of stock are hardeniug-daily, and shoes are, as a general thing, selling at leas rates than they can be replaced and pay profit.
