Union for the Sake of the Union.
This is a very agreeable duty that we have
to perform this morning. No feature in the
present war has been as unpleasant and sad
as that which placed Northern men on the
side of the South, and gave the rebellion
their aid and comfort. This was more espe
cially Seen in the State of New York. Mis
representing the issues that arose out of the
war—misunderstanding the true purposes
of the Administration combining with
these the popular elements that lie at the
base of the Democratic organization, and
give it so much power and facility—they
formed a patty that succeeded in carrying
the States of New York, Pennsylvania, and .
others in the West, and threatened to revo
lutionize the North. Wo all remember the
ardent professions of love for the . Union,
and devotion to the Administration in its
efforts to prosecute that war to a successful
issue, these gentlemen made in their elee=
Lion speeches. We owe it to ourselves to
say that we were among those who dis
believed these professions and distrusted
the men who made them. We had
abundant reason for doing so. We
knew the men at the head of the -Demo-'
cratic.party in Pennsylvania, and weliad no
reason to suppose they were different from
the men at the head of the Democratic party
elsewhere. Every Democrat from other
States who favored us with 'his presence and
his opinions took pains to deepen thisim
pression. Mr. VALLANDIGUAM came from
Ohio to advocate mediation, concession,
and
submission. Mr. 0' GOII3IAN came from New
York, an exile from slavery abroad, to ask
Americans to yield submission to slavery at
home. Mr. Bunn came from New Jersey,
to declaim such infamous treason that De
mocrats even Wilk' to have him in their fel
lowship. They mune to,,Pennsylvania, and
they found congenial friends. They found
Mr: REED, with his suppressed pamphlet,
which is now being quoted by the enemies
of his country abroad against the country
that reared, protected, and cherished him.
They found Mr. HUGHES, with his suppress
ed resolutions in favor of the secession of
Pennsylvania. They found the creatures
that followed a band of musicians around
the streets on Friday evening cheering the
rebel air it was base enough to play, ready
echoes to their treason and falsehood. Wan
Nazareth was so vile, we felt that no good
could come from it.
And so we arc rejoiced to read the senti
ments printed in our paper this morning.
The speeches of Mr. BRADY and Mr. VAN
BUREN, the letters of the Secretary of State
and Gen. BunwarnE, the general enthusiasm
that seemed to prevail, the boldness, the
frankness, and the courage with which
Union sentiments were expressed, is gratify
ing to see. The speech of Mr. VAN BUREN
is particularly able, while that of Mr. BRADY
possesses the fervor and zeal that have placed
that gentleman so high among the forensic
orators of America. We are very far from
endorsing many of the opinions they ex
press. We think Mr. VAN BUREN is un
necessarily sensitive in his anxiety about
the President's exercise of magisterial pow,
ers, and that he does not properly estimate
the advantages of the emancipation procla
mation. He does not see emancipation
in the
. broad and benignant light that
presents itself to us. He does not feel that
in preloaiming liberty to all on the American
continent, the President gives to our escutch
eon the legend that a true Republic should
bear. On other questions he does not ac
cept the creed we believe, and are endeavor
ing to make others believe, and in an ordi
nary time we should make this difference an
essential one. We lay all these considera
tions aside, however, and accepting the as
surances of Mr. Via; BUREN'S. devotion to
the Union, and his zealous support of the
war, in their ftillest and manliest sense, we
give him the hand of friendship, and wel
come him 'into the ranks of the loyal sup
porters of the Administration. Anti what
we say to Mr. VAN Bunix ,we say to Mr.
BRADY, Judge DALY, anti the thousands who
sustained them in their noble demonstration.
We arc glad to think, too, that these men
represent the true sentiments of the Demo
cratic messes in New York ; the men
who are not controlled by politicians
and committees, and driven, like cattle,
into the shambles of Tammany or Mozart.
That great, conscientious, honest sentiment
that saved the Democratic party in other
times of danger and d'imoralization is strug
gling against the tyranny that controls the
organization now. Animated by the feel
ings of patriotism that every true American
must feel, they are making an effort to re
deem the pledges their leaders made in the
time of an election contest. It is natural
that such an effort should bring them to the
side of those who support the Administra
tion in its whole policy, and it is fitting that
'we should welcome them as men deserving
of welcome and anxious to co-operate in a
good cause.
What argument can be addiced against
this union of opinion in New. York and
a similar union here in Pennsylvania ?
Why' can we not draw the lines so dis
tinct. that, until the end of this war,
there can be none but enemies and friends
of the Union . ?. We must- have one leader,
and that is the President of the United
States. Whether - we like him or not, there
he is, and there he must remain for two
more years, unless God's providence should
lay its hanckupon him. We must have oue
issue. It is the war. Call it by whatever
name we please ; give it any explanation or
definition ingenuity can suggest, it is a war.

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." .
WASHINGTON, lilarch 8, 1863
There never was such heartfelt rejoicing
among good men since the beginning of the
war as that - which hailed the overthrow of
the speculators and gamblers at the sudden
and rapid decline in the premium on gold.
By a fortunate conjunction of events, only
these wretched and reckless men have been
the losers. Every class of the loyal people
has been assisted and encouraged by that
which weakened and prostrated them. Such
enormous profits were made, and such great
sums of money changed hands during the
excitement produced by the unnatural ap
preciatiOni Of the precious metals, and the
equally unnatural depreciation of the na
tional currency, that incalculable mischief
was wrought among innocent and industri
ous communities. A- panic seemed to be
.universal, and as -the operators were
generally hostile to the Government
and the war, they were not content in
making • fortunes themselves, but taunted
the people, who had to pay exorbitant prices
fOr the necessaries of life as a consequence
of this gambling-in gold, that all that they
had to endure was the result of .Mr. Lin
coln's policy, and must be clihrged to the
discredit of his party. Now that the bubble
has been pierced, however, this monstrous
falsehood is exposed, and the punishment
that has fallen so heavily upon those who
uttered it has, - on the other hand, proved:to
be a blessing to the great masses who had to
pay so dearly during the carnival in which
only sympathizers with Secession seemed to
prosper. If, then, there was a double rea
son Lto induce these desperate operators to
continue their schemes, that of hatred to
their country and greed for money, there
is double cause for exulting in their
downfall. It cannot be said that
they did not provoke their fate, for
the keenest of them staked immense
sums upon their distrust of the Government
and their contempt of the calculations and
expectations of .Mr. Chase. Inotice a char
acteristic remark la the New York liror/d
of Friday, attributing this downward ten
dency in the price of gold to the fact that
it was the result of "engineering”—in other
words, that the reaction was the work not
of the wholesome legislation of the country
but of an antagonistic gang of brokers.
Now, if there has been financial engineering
at all, it has been by those who have
toiled to defeat the suggestions of the
Secretary- of the Treasury, and who for
weeks past have conspired to put up
prices of every kind, in - the expecta
tion that these suggestions never could
be embodied into laws. In this shame
ful. business the New York World led
the way. Its columns were devoted
to malignant attacks upon the Go
vernment, and especially upon Mr. Chase ;
and, only a few days since, it gave notice
that the people must be content to submit to
extraordinary prices as a result of the finan
cial measures of the Government. . It is by
such papers as The World that the return of
the money market. to a healthy condition
will be most severely felt. They not only
hoped for a different state of things, but
worked for it. Their capital card was to
distrust and denounce the whole financial
programme of the Administration. Every
disaster to our arms encouraged them to
persevere in this !.reasonable purpose, and
every interest that could be marshalled
against the Secretary was inflamed and
stimulated. When conspirators like these
are exposed and crushed by the utter failure
of their prophecies, we may confidently
look for better times.
The extraordinary session of the Senate
will not adjourn for some days. A vast
amount of work has been communicated by
the President, and as it is evident.that great
caution will be exercised in acting upon this
work, those of us who expected to see our
friends at home even before this writing
will not speedily be gratified.

- ORIZABA, Feb. 16, 1883.
DINXICANS,I After the lengthy stay which the ex
peditionary corps under my command has had to
make in their camps, it is now about to go fofward
and advance upon Mexico.
However lengthy may have been this period, and
although It may have seemed like repose, it has not
been lost time. It will have caused you, I do not
doubt, to reflect on the falsehoods of those who have
nn interest in representing us as your enemies—men
to whom the brave soldiers whom I command have
also given a solemn denial in the order and disci
pline ivhich have never ceased to exist in their
racks.
If we are your enemies—we, Frenchmen, who pro
tect your persona,your families, your property—
then what must hose Mexicans be, your fellow-,
countrymen, who govern you by terror; who seize
upon your goods; who, after despoiling private indi
viduals by exactions without example, also ruin
the public treasury without any other view than to
preserve a power of which they make such deplora
ble uses
Yes, Mexicans, you must have learned from our
acts the sincerity and faith of our words, when, in
the name of the Emperor, I solemnly declared to
you what I am now going to repeat—that the sol
diers of France have not come here to impose a Go
vernment upon you; that they have come with no
other mission—understand this well—after having
obtained by force from that power which pretends
to be the expression of the national will just repara
tion for our insults and injuries, which it has not_
been possible to obtain by negotiation—they have
no other mission than to consult the national will
on the form of government which it desires, and on
the election of men who seem most worthy to secure
order, with liberty at home and its dignity and inde
pendence abroad.
This task being fulfilled, the obligation will re
main with the French army to aid the Government
elected by you' to advance with resolution in the
path of.progress, so that, in spite of those who de
spise Mexico, you may succeed in forming a nation
which shall have nothing to envy in other nations:
- Then those of us who may not have contributed,
with our lives to the success of such a noble enter.
prise, will once more embark on the ships of France,-
and will return to our country full of happiness aad
pride, if the great duty which we have fulfilled has
resulted in the regeneration of your country.

of forty per cent. Silver was' affected in like man

The Richmond Dispatch, March 4th, contains the
following in reference to the situation in Middle
Tennessee: The Chattanooga Rebel of the 27th tilt.
Daps there are rumors from the front to the effect
that Rosecrans has been massing large reinforce
znentsjustthrough from Kentucky, in the counties
of Sumner and Wilson.
If this be true, his intention is to advance when
the roads permit, not directly upon our forces at
Shelbyville, but upon Tullahoma by way of Man
chester and McMinnville. The troops stationed at
Nashville will probably make a feint upon Shelby
ville, but no absolute assault is expected from that
side of the enemy's lines.. The entire strength' of
the army in Murfreesboro is estimated at flit) , thou
sand. Our reliable reports from the northern por
tion of the State represent the reinforcements to
consist of three divisions, each not less than ten
thousand strong.
The division of Jett. 0. Davis, with Johnson's
cavalry, stationed in Williams county, are put down
at twelve thousand. The forces at Nashville do
not exceed ten thousand. Thus the entire body of
troops composing the department of Rosecrans reach
nearly one hundred thousand. Of these, at least a
fourth are unable for duty. Setting apart twenty
thousand more for garrison duty and4he available
army to be brought against us will not fall far short
of sixty thousand, less than werq engaged and In

AFFAIRS AT POET HUDSON
We have not been favored for some time with a
light of the Essex. Her visite of iste have not been
Kr frequent or regular, and conseqllently there has
been no excitement in the port. The flag-or-truce
boat has been expected daily, but has not appeared.
It was reported yesterday that she was on her way
up, but it proved to be a transport with troops, whioh,
were landed on the other side of the river, just'
above Lobdell. Since then nothing has been heard
of them.
The point of attraction now is Vicksburg, and
every one is AUX loualy awaiting to see what the next
move of the enemy will be.
There arc now, we believe, two iron-clads below
Vicksburg that have succeeded in running past our
batteries under cover of the night. They are crui
sing about the mouth or the Hed river, with a view
to capture our transports andultimately to retake
the Queen of the Weat, tf possible.

The Port Hudson Ems adds:
We learn that the gunboat which went np the

&c., on M r.Trhit's plantation, and also burned every
thing on Mr. Gray and Mr. Chalfant's places.
FROM BAYOU PLAQUEMINE.
Same paper says :
We learn from a gentleman just from the other
aide, that the Yankees, about 2,600 in number, have
gone up the RifyOU.PifigneMine with a gunboat, and
are fortifying Indian village. It was expected that
they would march on Rosedale, and give our troops
under Colonel Scheller a fight. General Sibley's
trope have left there, and gone to Red river.
THE SITUATION IN TENNESSEE.
(From the Chattanooga Rebel, of 4th.)
General Bragg's army-as we are informed from
reliable sources—is in a condition of order, moral
spirit, healthy equipment, and general discipline,
which augurs favorably of coming events.
The delay of Rosecrans is attributed to various
causes. That it is not hie interest to come out and
tight, seems clear from his accustomed foresight and
sagacious prudence. Undoubtedly the rules of error
are not to be applied to him, for if he has shown one
thing more decisively than another, it is a wise con
struction of his movements.
Some men account the troubles in the West as one
evidence which restrains; others, the unsettled
state of Kentucky ; others, the want of transporta
tion and subsistence; others, the lack of force;
others, the expectation of reinforcements. All, or
any one of these speculations may influence the in
activity of Bosecrane. The roads are also to be
considered as offering a considerable barrier.
Upon one thing we feel assured—and on that we
doubt not our authorities are fully prepared—that
he will advance sooner or later, and by way of Shot
hyville. The route upon our extreme right, via Le
banon, Liberty, Alexandria, Smithvilie, and niti-
Minnville, is zigzag and unattainable. The Fede
ral', were made sick of their mountain tour last sum
mer, and will hardly repeat it.
The withdrawal of troops from Readyville seems
to have been only temporary; and that place was
reoccupied, as we are informed, two days thereafter.
Morgan's men are in that region, and will harass
the line from Readyville to Bradyville,
as far as it
extends. They have already captured more than
three hundred prisoners. thirty wagons, and a thou
sand horses, mules, and beef cattle.

The Richmond Enquityr.of the 6th, whieh has been

"MOBILE, March 6.—The Jackaon Mississippian
says the destruction of the Indianola was a most
unnecessary and unfortunate affair. The turreted
monster proved to be a flatboat, with sundry fix
tures to create deception. She passed Vicksburg on
Tuesday night, and the officers of the Indianola be
lieving that she was really a turreted monster, blew
the Indianola up, but the guns fell into the hands of
the enemy. The Queen of the West left in such a
hurry as to forget a part of her crew, who were left
on shore.,,
rThe natural supposition arising from them rebel
despatches about the Indianola is that the crew of
the Queen of the West were engaged in removing
the guns from the wreck of the Indianola, when
they were surprised by the appearance Of Commo
dore Porter's gunboats, and is apparently a corF

Additional 'News.
SINKING OF THE U. S. GUNBOAT KINSMAN.
Intelligence has just reached us, by a special mes
senger from Brashear City, of the total loss of the
United States gunboat Kinsman, Capt. Wiggin, be
longing to the Berwick Bay fleet.
On lilenday night the steamer was on her way up
the bay, to engage in her customary picket duty.
When about two and a,half miles from Brashear
City she struck a snag, knocking a hole in her bot
tom. She commenced filling rapidly, and . Captain
Wiggin, finding that ,she was seriously injured, at
tempted to run her ashore. The bottom, however,
was to shelving to permit this, and the bow of the
vessel was turned down stream, with a view to run
her on the flats below the steamboat landing, in
order to save her stores and ammunition.
A strong wind was blowing up the stream, and the
water slackened the fires to such a degree that the
machinery would not work.,
The steamer sunk in sevety feet of water. This
morning she was completely out of sight, not even
her spars or smoke-stack being discernible. It to
reported this morning that ten or twelve men were
drowned or missing.
The Kinsman was formerly called the Gray Cloud,
and for the last five years ran between New Orleans
and Mobile as a freight and passenger boat. —N. 0.

REBEL ARMORY DESTROYED.
We learn on good authority that the establiih
meat at Clinton, La., for the manufacture of arms,
ammunition, etc., was totally destroyed by fire
about 'two weeks since.
The loss to the rebels is particularly severe at this
time, as the troops in that section have been very
scantily supplied, their officers depending mainly on
the capacity of their works at Clinton to furnish
them.
,The di ffi culties alluded to by the Confederate
Secretary of War will be greatly increased by this

THE RUMORED INTENTION TO EVACUATE
• ^ - .VICKSBURG AND PORT HUDSON.
-We published last night, in an extra, a rumor,
which comes from across the lake, that it was the
intention of the rebels to. evacuate Vicksburg and
Port' Hudson.' While it may strike the enthusi
astic rebel as rather absurd, we think we can see
in the condition of the surroundings of those
places much to lead to a belief in its proba
.biltty. As we 'have before stated in these co
lumns, the present position of General Grant's
'army completely cuts off all communication between
-the beleaguered places and the productive country

burg and Texas Railroad, and by the Red river, both
of which channeleof travel are completely blocked
by Federal occupation. Another source of supply
was from' the State oflArkansas,.down the riversof
that State and the Mississippi. This route has also
been suspended by the same cause. It takes a vast '
amount -of supplies to subsist such a force as the
, rebels' now have in that quarter ; and it may be. an
interesting inquiry for them to enter into, where
they can obtain enough, even if they were to give up
Vicksburg. The eastern and southern portions of
the Confederacy cannot raise more than -is wanted
for home consumption, and the limited transporta
tion possessed by the rebels is a bar to 'its rapid
movement, even if there were abundance. Taking,.
this view of the case, we are strongly Inclined to 'be-
lieve in the probability of the truth of this rumor.-="

the minds of many, and, X may say, that a majority
of the community are exceedingly impatient and ap
prehensive at the dilatory policy of those who have
in charge the business of putting New York harbor
into a condition of defence. A million dollars of the
people's money have been appropriated for the
work, and the press has spasms of urging prompt
action in the matter, yet the few jolts we have re

A DIVOROE SUIT
is shortly to be commenced in this eity—probably
during the March term of the Supreme Court—which
promisee to give another of those unrestricted insights
of fashionable life in which the vulgar masses take
such cruel delight. The party about to invoke the
law's most delicate office in this case is a gray-haired
merchant, of considerable affluence, whose hand
some young wife has sinned beyond forgiveness.
The' merchant had a friend whom he trusted, and
who had known his wife rrom childhood. It was on
the strength of the last-mentioned fact that he in
dulged, under his own eyes, a degree of intimacy be
tween Wife and friend which has finally culminated
in the rankest treason to himself. For a long time
after the intimacy had assumed the decisive clandes
tine turn the merchant refused to be suspleioua,
When, tinnily, suspicion was the least exercise of
judgment dictated by his common-sense, he took the
time-honored method of satisfying himself. He pre
tended that he was going away/Or a few days—going
to Philadelphia; returned, of course, late thatmght,
was privately admitted by a suborsed servant, and
proceeded directly to his wife's chamber. What he
saw there was sufficient to remove his last doubt.
Noiselessly he deposited his his hat and over
coat on a chair near the bed, and then "glided"
as noiselessly-to another apartment, where he
retired for the remainder of the night. In the morn
ing he arose at his usual hour, read his morn-.
ing paper, and despatched a servant to call her
mistress to breakfast. The servant came back,
looking strangely puzzled, and reported that the
lady did not feel very well and would take her break
fast by-and-by. The husband felt so much concern
at bearing this, that nothing would do but he must
see his sick wife at once. Calmly he repaired up
stair/ to /per room, coolly he overruled all her ob•
jections to admitting him "just yet." With stone
like impenetrability of manner he entered; it took
him but a minute to master the whole scene before
him; without the least show of excitement or vio
lence, he withdrew the second occupant of the picture
from the room; then he turned to the distracted wo
man, who was on her knees wildly imploring his
mercy, and politely, but firmly , . toad her that he must
have her company at breakfast. She besought him
not to kill her. He heard her not; she really KM
come to breakfast. And she came. The merchant
deepatehed his Meal in silence, though in apparent
good-temper. Then he politely, butfirmly, said that
his wife must consent to be locked in her own room
Until dinner time. From this time forth, for more
than three weeks, the same scene transpired at
every meal—" merely this, and nothing more."
Theb, the nearly maddened woman was allowed to
"go, in all her shame, to the home from which her
husband had taken her at marriage; and then the
merchant put his case in the hands of a well-known
law flint in Nassau street.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION,
overruling the previous decision of a lower court,
was made by the Supreme Court this morning.
According to this last decision, Police Superin
tendent Kennedy is liable to present arrest for al
leged "illegal arrests" made by him—that of Mrs.
Brinamade, for instance—just before the election of
Governor Seymour. By this rule any one of the
traitors arrested by Kennedy, and subsequently dis
charged by authority from Washington, can bring a
criminal suit against him and have him arrested.
THE WEATHER
to-day is worthy the rest of the week. This morn
ing there was a sprinkling of snow, and this after
noon and evening rain and fog prevail. If anything
I. calculated to make the national cause seem utterly
hopeless, it is the reflection that nothing can be done
in Virginia until clear weather is established.
THE OPERA SEASON
was inaugurated at the Academy of Music last eve
ning, by Max Maretzek and troupe before a very
large and tolerably fashionable audience. If three.
fourths of the numbers present really paid for their
tickets, the net proceeds must have been upwards of
a thousand dollars.
"Il Trovatore" was the composition offered, and,
taking all things into consideration,
it was effec
tively rendered. Medori, the prima donna of the
company, is evidently a very superior tragic ac
tress, in the style of Steffknone, Gazzaniga, and
Corteel though apparently inferior in force to Grist.
Her voice is a full and loud soprano, almost rugged in
the middle register but thin and ituily worn in the
upper. In the calxildla of the first act it was impos
sible to help contrasting her. with Frezzolini, greatly
to the advantage of the latter. Power rather than
delicacy is the characteristic of her voice, and I am
inclined to believe that she owes her rank to her
acting rather than her singing. Mazzolini, the
tenor, is a thorough artist, with a robnatious voice,
reminding one of Stigelli, or Beaucanle, rather than
of Mario or Erignoli. In the serenade of the first,
and the fine arias of the third and last acts, lie was
handsomely applauded. The other artists in the
cast were about equal to their ordinary predecessors
in the same rdles. At the matinde to-day, (same
opera,) despite the storm, they had over live hun
dred dollars in the house. STUYVESANT.
THE MONEY MARKET.
The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
The moat striking features of Wall street this morning
are, first, that the orders from the country to sell exceed
in extent the orders to buy, and secondly, that a vast
stream of horded gold is pouring towards and accumu
lating in the coffers of the specie houses and banks.
The market opened firm. Governments are steady; at
the outside quotations of 'yesterday. We quote United
States sixes, 1867, at 103: 1.%3 coupons at ldi; 1.891 reels
.tered at 9931(409M. and 163.1 coupons at 1001g/1100X ; Ore
gon War Loan, 1881, at ICOX ; coupons, 151
11, at MI, and
coupons, 1874, at 94§94X.
The bond market to some extent sympathizes in the
prevailing feeling.
Border State bends are Weak. In Tennessee, we note
transactions at 62:salt Missouris at 60361.
In city bank shares we note several transactions.

Public Entertaiiinienis:
, Tax ACADEMY or Musw.—The success of the
German opera is a very gratifying thing. Mr.
Anachutz has labored so zealously to make German
opera as pleasant and popular as the smoother and
less angular Italian performances that we give him
our warmest encouragement. He doea not present
so many individual attractions, or, in other words,
his attractions have never obtained the singular and
emphatic notoriety that accompanies the Italian;
but, independent of this, his company is one:of the.
most thorough, complete, and available that we
have ever seen. Every part is well arranged, and .
played with singular fidelity and skill, and while
none of his singers may be Bald to possess the highest •
. degree of genius, they all have morethan an ordinary
amount of talent, and sing with great Judgment

Henri Etienne Mehul. This gentleman, M. blehul,
was born In France in 1163 i and died at the age of
64. His presexit opera was first given to the world
1111 y-six years ago;that le, on nth February, lan,
in Paris. The author's character was marked .by a_
singular conscientiousness. He had a - melancholy'
and sensitive nature, which delighted in the culti-.
vation of flowers and music: His parents were poor,
and designed Lain to be a monk, but the . se:premaay
, of nature -- made idin a musician. - In addition to
many occasinnal'compositions, he was the coinposer
of forty-two operas, a proiiP, surely, of great fertility.
He imbibed much of his musical instruction from
Hauser, Edelmann, and Gluck, who seem to have'
given him a German Method of composition, and, as
a natural consequence, his operas Were more porn.

seemed to unfold naturally and gradually until the

PHILADICLPIM, Maroh 6, 1883.
- ADOLPH Binrirar.D. ESQ. I—XB Dear Sir: Your
services es Agent In the management of the business
of the German opera in this city have been invalu
able to me and to the company ? and I am aura I
represent the feelings of all the artistes, es well as
of the musical public in Philadelphia, when I offer
to you some substantial acknowledgment of your
services. I therefore beg that you will accept a
complimentary benefit, and regret that I cannot give
you a choice of nights. We leave Philadelphia on
the lath inst., and Wednesday, March 16th, is the
only might at my disposal, but I leave to you the
choice of opera. lielleve me your sincere friend,
C. A NSCHUI'Z.
CAUL Aiescriwrz, Esq. :—Dear Sir: Your note,.

ed to me. 1 thank you for the compliment you
bestow upon my Lambe endeavors to secure to yow
excellent opera company the success it eo richly
'deserves, and ! accept the benefit on the night named
in your note (Wednesday, March 18th), but only on
condition that 1. am allowed to pay the full expense
of the troupe for the performance.
Very reepectiutly, your obedient servant,
A. BIRG-FELD.
CHESTNUT-STREET THEATRE.—This evening, the
"Broker of Bogota," in compliance with numerous
requests, will be produced, with its superior cast and
accompaniments.• Mr. Forrest will appear in his
great impersonation of Febro, the Broker, a character
wbich.he invests with an interest, truly wonderful,
impressing all with the fact that he is indeed the
greatest of tragedians. This is tae hustopportu
nity but one that our citizens will have to witness
this play, and, therefore, we expect to see a house
even more crowded than during its previous
representations. Mr. Wheatley sustains the °ha,.
racier of Cabarero, which receives full justice at the
hands of this able actor. While Mr. Forrest is a
host in himself, he is certainly to be congratulated
upon being assisted by so talented a company. On
Wednesday evening, Miss Lucille Western makes
her fifth appearance as the erring and penitent wife,
in "East Lynne." " Macbeth " is in active prepara
tion, and will soon be produced in an unrivalled
manner.
WALNIIT-STIthET MEATRIL—Mrs. Garretson
has succeeded in producing a decided sensation, as
was evident from the crowded house which witnessed
the representation of the " Colleen Hawn" last
Saturday evening. It is put upon the stage in a
manner superior to any previous representation in
this city, and certainly could not be excelled. Mr.
Eddy appears to great advantage in the character of
Aliko-Na-Coppaleen, which he renders with a truth
and pathos which excite the admiration. Mrs.
Cowell as Erly O'Canner, the "Colleen Basun," acts
with an ability and grace with which she seldom
fails to invest her characters. The main characters
in this thrilling drama are well sustained. The
scenery is very good, and we have no doubt that this
week will witness crowded houses at the Walnut.
The performance of the evening will conclude with
an amusing farce entitled "Perfection; or, the Maid
of Munster," in which Mr. Barrett will make his
first appearance this season.
ARCII-gTIC ELT THILATRIC.—This evening Mr.
Booth will appear as Hamlet, in Shakspeare'e tra
gedy of that name. Mr. Booth has genius for his
profession, but it needs the development of arduous
study, if he would reach that eminence which his
talented father attained. Possessed of a good
figure, an expressive eye, well-marked features, and
much nervous power, there is ne reason why he
should not become a great actor. His voice, in
clined to huskiness, which causes an imperfect
enunciation, might be much improved and
strengthened. This evening he essays a character
which is one of Shalospearels greatest creations and
has tasked the talent and energies of the best ac
tors. We wish him success, and hope that his
Hamlet will be a "master-piece.” He will be ably
assisted by the excellent company of the Arch. Mrs.
Drew appeals as the Queen; Mrs. Henri as Ophilia;
Frank Drew as let Grave-Digger, and Barton Hill as
the Ghost.
ASSEMBLY Bminncos.—Signor Blitz and the
Glass Blowers receive every indication of approval
and support, if the attendance upon their amusing
and instructive exhibitions can be taken as evi
dence. Not alone are these exhibitions for the
young people, but persons of all ages can nowhere
pass a more pleasant hour than by watching the
wonderful Blitz, or• inspecting the subtle mysteries
of fire and glass. Both the Signor and the Bohe
mians have become fixed institutions, and we shall
regret their departure if, with their present success,
they contemplate such a movement.
PnorEason Aszase McCoy will deliver, at the
Academy of Music next Thursday evening, his cele
brated oration, "The London Times on the Rebel
lion, and the War Against the National Cionatitu-
Trim litucfirNsort 1 0 ...unr.r (of the Tribe of Asa)

sociation. They will sing some of their now songs.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, March 7. Ma
To-day closes a week of unparalleled excitement awl
fluctuation in the gold market, and of unusually large
operations at the Stock Exchange, where prices have
maintained an unexpected firmness. Gold opened at 151,
fell telso, but rallied to 154, at which figure it closed.
This advance is explained by the great number of
"shells" on the market in New York,-and by their •
pressing demands, and rallying and sustaining the
market. The New York Legislature Is making strenu
ous efforts to stop speculation. \ Several bills have been
offered to produce that effect, one of which contemplates
an act rendering it Illegal for bankr, insurance or trust
companies, to lend anything whatever on gold, or re
eeiye special deposits of gold. Another is, an act forbid
ding any chartered bank or like corporation from hold
ing over twenty per cent. of its capital in gold, and from
receiving gold belonging to individuals on any terms
whatever. The New York Herald says "the idea of this
measure is, that it is the great hoard of $38,000,1100 in the
New York clty banks which is the chief cause of the in
flation of gold. These banks very seldom held Anything
' like as much as this when they were specie paying insti
tutions. It was the withdrawal of this large amount of
gold from the hands of the .public which rendered gold
scarce, and sustained the speculation in it. Compel the
banks to disburse and scatter among the people twenty
eight millions of this sold; hit it be sold day after day, in
open market, until the whole has found a resting phial;
forbid any bank in the State from receiving a dollar of
It—even for a single night—over and above twenty per
centom of its capital; compel the specnlators and
the timid people, who will nail trust the currency, to
carry their gold home with them in a bag, and guard it
against burglars and fire, and then we shall see what
prenthun iewill command." •
If the New York Legislature succeed in doing all this,
It will Lave accomplished a better thing for the country
than anything that State has yet done. Crush the hy
dra-headed-glitterer in New York city and other markets
mast follow. Old Demands are considered as good as
gold, and are bought and sold at the same figures. The
money market is dull at .53t@/8 cent. Government se
curities are still in demand on the street, at yesterday's
figures.
The Stock market was unsettled daring most of the
day, but a better feeling was evident at the close; United
States sixes 196.1 sold at X higher, eeven-thirties;b, live
twenties at 101—a small lot at 10234—registered '9ls at
our. State eves closed- at 7024'; new City sixes were

DHIFtT OP TO•NORROW ETBl7Blo.—Tew
monew (Tuesday) evening, we are to have Mr.
John B, Gough's farewell lecture in Philadelphia
for the present season. The two given by him at the
Academy of Music last week, were among the great.
est successes ever achieved by any public lecturer Ls
Philadelphia, and from the number of tickehi sold uyr
to Saturday evening for the lecture on Tuesday,
that occasion' bids fair to witness the largest audi
ence of the three. Undess those wino have the
matter in charge decide to issue standing tickets, we
do not believe that there Will be a single ticket to be
purchased on the evening of the lecture. Mr.
Gough's subject on , Tuesilay evening will be " Social
Responsibility," a new theme, and one which in
Gough'. inimitable powers of dramatic oratory will
be rendered one off hie grandest efforts. The few
tickets still remaining unsold at Martienal, will, no
doubt, be eagerly bought up early to-day. The pro
ceeds of this lecture, like 'those of the preceding
ones, will be for the benefit of the sick and wounded
soldiers.
EVENINCEI WITH TUB PORTS.—We
attention to a series of select readings to be given at
.LeypoldVe Rooms, N. B. corner of Chestnut and
Juniper streets, on Monday. and Friday evenings,
March 9111 and 20th, by Messrs. N. K. Richardson
and Wm. H. Maurice; The pieces to be read and
recited constitute an admirable selection, and we
doubt not the entertainment will be at once intel
lectual, artistic; and worthy the attention of the
moat cultivated and refinded. We need more enter
tainments of thin character, and those who assist is
cultivating a popular taste for them are doing a
good work and deserve to be liberally encouraged.
Let these gentlemen have a brilliant audience this
evening.

scription of Linen Goods, and most oS them at

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. —A. recent
army order prohibits any citizen from wearing a
United States uniform, no matter how he came by
it. Discharged soldiers have a right to wear a uni
form as a badge of honor. The provost 'guards in
the different parts of the State have been instructed
to act under this order, and take from every citizen
any portion of the uniform or buttons of the United
States army which they may wear in public. Citi
zens who have any respect for themselves wear such
suits as best befit their station, and those who have
genuine good taste, procure their wearing apparel at
the Brown• Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill &
Noa. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sitth.
Fasurox.—lt will be of special interest
to our lady readers to know that, in several large
cities of Europe, the acknowledged leaders of the
ton have commenced war against the wearing of
crinoline—refusing to enter the theatres where it is
worn. The use of it in England, it is thought, will
be speedily discountenanced; and as we follow in
the wake of our trans• Atlantic belles, it must soon
go out of date. here. The gentleman, both of this
country and Europe, will still continue ; however, to
wear the styles and fashions as introduced, from
time to time, by Granville Stokes, the Fashioner
and Clothier, No. 609 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
