TUESDAY, MARCH 10,
,1863
The Triumph of the Indemnity Bill.
The doings of the Thirty-seventh Con
gress will quicken the intellects and supply
materials far the pens of thousands of wri
ters. An event; which occurred on Tuesday
night, or rather about fitreTh'clock on Wed
nesday 'morning, the 4th, must, not be for
gotten.
The Opposition to the Administra
tion had determined to defeat the Indemnity
bill at every haZard. fill their : fernier
tactics were redotibled,:and they : caused it
to be understood that they would exhaust
the patience and the time . of 'the Senate, ,
in order to accomplish their ohject. Unfor
tunately, there is no previOus question hi
the Senate, and one or two resolute men
can defeat the most important measure
by talking against The Indemnity
bill, upon which so Many _interests de
pended; was ohjectionable to : the siicalled
Democratio leaders because it indethnifled
the President and his agents in :arresting
well-known sympathizers with treason,,
and also because.: it operated prospect.:
ively to strengthen the hands of the Ex
ecutive in 4 adopting measures neces
sary to the Maintenance 'of the' public
peace. The report of the committee
of conference on this bill having been
agreed to by theHpuse, it was brought up
in the Senate early on Tuesday, and dis
cussed froth two o'clock in the afternoon of
that day Until five o'clock :on ',Wednesday
morning. Unhappily for the managers of
this intrigue, they could not indUce such
Democrats as LAT DAM; Nisfarrii, HAnonvo,
RioE, and McDatom,n, to invite with them.
The Repulilicans :generally remained, si
lent during the whole discussion. The
galleries were filled until about two o'clock
in the morning, when the Senators retired
to the anterooms to rest; and the dull,'mono
tonotts debate went on. Finally, Mr. BAY
ARD obtained the floor, and 'began a Speech:
which threatened „to last two Or: three
Lours. Senator l'o4knoy was acting as
chairman. " At last Mr. Pdirnth. came for
ward, and made a'motion :to adjeinn,
upon which Senator 13Ay i yin took his seat,
and: the motion was put by : ayes: and
noes, - and declared In-be 'lost, Mr. BAY
AWs deafness ',possibly prevented him
from hearing the:fate of the motion:of : the
Senator from Kentucky, and,::before he was
better infornied, Mr. PAI.Enoy distinctly put
the question, "Wilt the Senate agree to the
report Of the committee of conference on
the Indemnity bill and declared it to be
carried by ayes and noes, as it undonbiedly
was. •Senator Tnunn unt,, from Illinois, im
mediately rose and asked the Senate' to pro
ceed to the conSideration of a bill on the
private Calendar, which clinched and cloSed
the action of the Senate on the report of the
committee of :conference. In the telegraph
ic sketeh of the debate, published in The
Press of the 511, you: will find that this an
nouncement created great consternation and
anger among the enemies of the bill, Mr.
BAN'Aiin protested, and Mr. POWELL seolded,
but the case hadpasseffinto the records of
the body. The complaint of jockeyism and
sharp practice called Mr. Trumbull to the floor
in a speech of reinarkable ability and force.
He exposed the attempts to embarrass, retard;
and defeat important legislation, and turned
into ridicule all the charges made against the
majority., The 'opponents of the bill - must
hub felt that they deserved little coiumise

and *hen :the:- Senate reassembled, at ten

determined :to carry out their policy—that
nothing could resist the: Will of the majority,
and they gracefully yielded to the course Of
events: The : - clpse of the :session; which
threatened to be stormy, was as Calm and

Political soothsaying is not always suc
cessful. Experience teaching by example is
not uniformly the monitor that it ought to
be. To a certain extent, no doubt, the Past
may be accepted as indicating what the
Future may produce—but to a certain ex
tent only. 'Beyond, the wide, unbounded
prospect lies before the statesman and, the
writer, "but shadows, clouds, and dark
ness rest upon IL" The latest number of
Blachncood's Magazine illustrates the falli
bility of such political speculation. Pub
lished, in February, m the eve of the SeS
sten of the British Parliament, it wound up
with a long and elaborate article on "
tics at Home and Abroad," the purpose of
which is to damage the Palmerston Ministry
in public estimation. To effect this, it dis
parages the domestic and foreign ,policy of
that Administration, strangely enough ma
king scarcely any . allusion to the 'manner in
which it has dealt with the United States
ever since Mr. Ltriconzi came into
office, • elected by the people. Perhaps
Blackwood was not a little ashamed of the
manner in which the British Government
has kept the word of promise to the ear,
and broke it to the hope in its pretended
neutrality. After a very elaborate con
demnation of the Russell-Gladstone-Palmer
ston Cabinet, it-sagely arrives at the happy
conclusion that "as France has her hands
full in Mexico, and is waiting till the pear
is ripe, in Germany, we nay .count upon
another year of peace in Europe;" that the
intervention of France in Mexico acts as a
diversion, and turns her military ambition
away from Europe ; and that, therefore,
" for another year we may take our ease or
follow our industry, without fearing to be
disturbed by any serious hostilities."

- Au - wily - Velure-- Chifs-prophooy of - peace
was printed, events had combined to estab
lish its fallacy. Goaded to desperation by
Russian exactions, the Poles had broke into
revolt, which has grown into something
approaching the gravity of revolution. The
- outbreak appears to have been carefully
and ably organized, and so far may be con
sidered successful, per se, inasmuch as it
has not been put down. A few histdrical
data will remind our readers of the leading
points at issue.
Over a thousand years ago, PIAST de
clared himself Duke of Poland, and reigned
over various Sclavonic tribes in the West
ern part of ancient Sarmatia. His dynasty
ruled, with little interruption, for five hun
dred years, exchanging the ducal for a
kingly coronet towards the close of the
thirteenth century. When the PIAST dy
nasty ended the throne became elective, and
so continued until a century ago—the Kings
of Poland latterly chosen under Russian
influence. Cciunt STAIIISLAS AUGUSTUS
Polifft.Towsxl, elected King under the joint
influence of Russia .and Prussia, in .1704,
was too much of a men of pleasure to reign
properly. Religious intolerance led the way
to domestic dissensions, and, in 1772, what
is called the first partition of Poland took
place—Austria, Prussia, and Russia then
annexing to their -own dominions. cer
tain adjacent Polish provinces. A further
robbery was perpetrated in 1193, not with
out a gallant, but fruitless, resistance, head
ed by the patriot Koscunsxe, who had won
his spurs in the American War of Independ
ence ; and the final partition and extinction
of Poland followed in 1705. The first NA
TGLEOIC, professing great admiration of Po
land, in 1806 proinised to restore its inde
pendence, and, creating the Duchy of War
saNir, gave it to the King of Saxony. The
Congress of Vienna, in 1815, erected this
Duchy into a Kingdom of Poland, and
placed it under the sovereignty of ALEXAN
DER I, Emperor of Russia. At the same
time, Cracow was established as a republic
or free city, but was appropriated by ;Aus
tria in 1846.
Poland, under the Russian Czars, has
been about as much of h Kingdom as Ire
land has been under England since the year
1171. It has been chafed by the yoke, and
has always Inert difficult to manage. In
Novethber, 1830, a. revolution broke out in
Warsaw; CONSTANSTINE, the Czar's bro
ther, was driven away ;: a Diet was assein
bled; and a Dictator appointed ; the Czar
NICHOLAS protested against these•acts ; the
Diet declared that the house of ROMANOFF
had forfeited the Crown ; a series of battles
ensued between the Polish patriots and the:
Russian squadrons ; mid finally, in October,
1831, • PAs.iciEWitcn, the Russian cone-
mender, haVing conquered by vast superi
ority of force, sent a message to S t.
. Peters
hUrgh, Order reigns in Warsaw," nnoon
scionSly repcoi3g . • the meindrable expres
sion of TACIVISi translated by the English
!, Fie makes a solitude, and calls it Peace."
Soon after, the - Etnperor NICUOLAS issued
an ukase Incorporating Poland as a province
ofßussia.. In 1846, there was a second,
feebler, and equally unsuccessful attempt at
rebellion, and a last, weaker one, in 1801..
When 'the nationality of Poland was
wholly destroyed - (February, 1832), by be
ing reduced to a Russian province Lord
PALTIIERSTON was Foreign Secretary of Eng
land, and, to do him justice, expressed him
self manfully, and as became the representa
tive of a great country. Ile accused the
Czar Mono - Las of having broken the arti
cles of the treaty of Vienna,,which rehabili
tated Poland as nKingdom. In 1832, he
wrote: "The Treaties of 1815, clearly stipu
late that the nationality of the Poles shall be
preserved. The abolition of the Polish
colors, the introduction of the Russian lan
guage into public acts, the removal to Rus
sia of the national library and_ public collec
tions containing bequests made - by indivi
duals upon specific condition that they never
should be taken out of the Kingdom of Po
land, the suppression of schools and other es
tablishments for public instruction, the retno
val of a great number of children to Russia
on the pretence of educating them at the
public expense, the transportation of whole
families to the interior of. Russia, the extent
and severity of, the. military conscription,
the Ilargc introduction of Russians into the
public employments -in Poland, the interfe=
relleo with the National Church, .all these
appear to be symptoms of a deliberate in
tention to obliterate, gradually the political
nationality of Poland, and gradually to con
vert it into a Russian. Province."
The Liberal Ministry of that day (Lord
Gum's) desired -to take active measures
against the final- extinction of Poland, but
Parliament did not approve of what would
certainly lead to war with Russia, and many
influential statesmen declared that the Poles,
even if their country were to recover its in
dependence, could scarcely retain it. The
last Century of monarchy in Poland certainly
showed much decadence.
The present Czar, personally a humane
and progressive man (as witness his aboli
tion of serfdom and his recent administra
tive reforms in Russia), has the misfoTtune
of being served in Poland by persons who
apparently have no faith in the laws of
kindness and of justice. Hence the com
mission, in his name, of many harsh mea
sures, the last and worst of which was a
law of conscription, which really was a
legalized kidnapping, without notice, ap
peal, or -redress; of -the flower of the youth
of Poland. "The last straw breaks the
camel's back," is a sound Arabian aphorism,
and was fulfilled by a rising in Poland
against the latest crowning wrong. So'f;tr
it has been successful, and the latest reports
declare that it was spreading not only
through Poland, but to and beyond `the
Prussian frontier. - In Poland proper, where
there are some strong fortresses, the Rus
sians still hold, and probably will for some
time retain their own, but the revolt is.
strong in Lithuania, Gallicia, Liibhn, Yol
bynia, Minsk, and Podolia. The peasants
of the Ukraine, known to be disaffected,
may seize thiS - iilifiiiitinity to revol - t. Mean
while, Prussia declared her Polish -pro
vinces in a state of siege ; a Prussian army
was concentrated in the disturbed districts,
and Prussia would help Russia in this
The Polish Was becoming an European
question. As' usual, what NAPOLEON
would do was speculated upon. The Paris
journals announced that the Czar intended
visiting Paris to discuss politics with NAPO
LEON ; a few Polish students in the Military
School of Paris who expressed themselves
warmly in favor of their native land were
expelled,.(some accounts add, sent back to
Russia !) and certain persons suspected of
being Polish emissaries placed in arrest.
Suddenly, the Paris journals, official as well
as independent, broke ground in favor of
Poland, and it is announced that NAPOLEON
has remonstrated, in the strongest language,
with Prussia, against her co-operation with
Russia. This may bring affairs to a warlike
issue.
Contrary to expectation, Austria seems
inclined to neutrality—Andeed, has boldly
declared. against the Russian action in
Poland which has precipitated the rebel
lion. The King of Prussia, who is the
Czar's uncle, has declared on the side of
Russia, but the National Chamber of Re
presentatives, now in session at Berlin,
have sent him their resolution, almost
unanimously agreed to, that tile action of
Prussia on this Polish question must be
neutral. It is most probable that the Prus
sian monarch may not heed this expression
of popular legislative will, but this will
only hasten his own expected and almost
inevitable downfall. Earl RUSSELL, speak
ing for England in the House of Lords,
has declared against Russia in strong terms,
and is generally supported by the British
press.
Under such circumstances, opposed by
France, England, and Austria, and sup
ported only by Prussia, it is scarcely passi
ble that the Czar can calculate upon substan
tial outside aid" 'against the revolution in
Poland. The defection of Austria from the
"legitimate" side, and the more open oppo- .
sition of England and France, place Russia
in a difficult position. We hope that Poland
may be able to liberate herself. At all
events, "a clear stage and no favor" is
good rule in public as in private war. Mit
. 131 a. clalobd' a 'prediction of " another year of
peace" has been speedily and abruptly nul
lified by circumstances.
The 'French in Cochin-China.
NAPOLEON does not find himself very for
tunate out of France. The cost of occupy
ing Algeria, with a great army under Mar
shal PELISSIER, Duo of Malakoff, is an enor
mous drain upon the finances of the Empire.
SO far, the French inroad on ii.exico has
also resulted only in disappointment, expen
diture, and national discontent. Lastly, and
latest, it appears that in Cochin-China,
where N . ..AroLzofc lately " annexed" six
provinces, the natives (a warlike people,
called the Annamese), have revolted, at
tacking the French troops, nearly 8,000 in
all, cutting off the supply of provisions, and
destroying the rice fields in the neighbor
hood of the camp. There are some French
troops in China, and if these did not arrive
in time, Nevoixon's army of occupation in
Cochin-China would soon be starved out.
The native population of the Frenoh Pro
vinces.there exceeds 2,000,000, and irivoild
take ten times 3,000 soldiers to control
them. .
LAIVIMIS CIS'S EVENING lyirxl SHAXSPEARYL—
Mr. Philip Lawrence, a practical and popular
.teacher of elocution in this city, will read from
Sbakspeare, assisted by seventeen of his pupils, at
Assembly Buildings, this evening. The programme
includes a variety of line selections from the great
dramatist, and concludes with Longfellow's "Ship
of State," which Mr. Lawrence will recite, by
desire, as not inappropriate at a crisis like the
Present. We have no doubt from Mr. Lawrence's
tried ability that this entertainment will gratify the
public, A short time ago, it may be remembered,
he challenged the elocutionists of New York to
produce three pupils to read in public against three
young Philadelphians (taught by Mr. L.), and the
challenge has been accepted by plr. J. B. Brown,
New York. Mr. Lawrence's three champion pupils
will be among those who will assist him this
evening.
ISIUEICAL FUND HALL—GRAND CONCERT.—This
evening Master I. Rice, a pupil of Herr Oarl Wolf-
Bohn, and a musical prodigy, will give his first con
cert. He will be assisted by Madame Bertha Jo
haunsen, prima donna of • the Anschutz German
Opera Troupe, who was so favorably received last
evening, in the opera of "Stradella," at the Acade
my of Music. Mr. F. Flammer, Master Roese, and
other favorites, will execute some fine instrumental
music, The programme is attractive, and we hope
to see the hall well filled.

Extra Session of the United States senate.
Mr. .9. - sTriollY, of. Rhode Island, offered a resolu
tion having in view the appointment of a Commit
tee on Martufactiireß,to consist of five members. It
lies over, under the rules.
Mr. Ammor , rs referred to the fact that there
were formerly a committee of manufactures and a
committee of agriculture, but both were dropped in
1857. The latter, however, had been recently, re
stored at the instance of the senator from Ohio,
(Mr. SHERMAN).
His object now was to revive the committee on
manufactures, As it seemed to be understood that
all the atanding committees were to be reorganized
at the nextteeesion, he would be content with an
amendment of the 24th rule, to provide for a com
mittee on manufactures, and allow the appointment
of its members to remain vacant till_the-

and an important and unique treaty was made
with them by Secretary UsriEn and Commissioner

well advanced in civilization, are to become citizens
in live years, and receive the inalienable right of
eighty acres of ' land each ; and there are to be set

lands, about 30,000 acres, Will be sold to actual

The Rebels Moving on Winchester.
A strong force of rebels were at Luray mooatly,
and the military authorities at Winchester are of
the opinion that they are moving on that place.

CINCINNATI, march special despatch to the

and important movements are pending.
Last week, two steamers, with infantry and
cavalry, went to Carolina Landing, and! after a
three days' absence, returned with two.. hundred
mules, one hundred and thirty head of beef cattle,
thirty bales of cotton, several thousand thshels of
corn, a number of negroes, and plenty of chickens,
eggs, potatoes, &..c. • I
All the canals, it Is believed, will prove niocessful
One gunboat, up the Yazoo Pass, had nerdy reach
ed Yazoo city. There was no doubt as to Our ability
to get forces in the rear of Vicksburg, and thus cut
off communication with Jackson.
At Lake Providence the canal is nearlj ready for
use. As soon as the obstructions are roved the
water is to be let into it. Already the • lississippi
is fourteen feet higher than the water inthe Lake.
Vicksburg is sure to fall. It is feared. the enemy
may evacuate it first. It is said the owners of pro
perty along the stream to be overflowid via Lake
Providence have made offers to thi citizens of
Vicksburg of one million and a half upey, if they
will surrender and save them from liss by cutting
the levee. /
The destruction of property wit be immense

had sunk.
Southern intelligence confirms 8 tidings of the
sinking of the Indianola. On th night of the fight
the Union forces heard a trey dour explosion,
which is believed to have come from the magazine
of one of the sinking boats. 14 this be true, this
leaves the rebels in a much mor4 helpless situation
than was supposed, so far as thelefence of the ports

FRANKLIN. Tennessee, March 9
BATTLE OF SPRING HILL
The attack upon our forces stational near Spring
Hill was led by the rebel General Forrest in per
eon, under orders from Generals Bragg and Van
Dorn.. The rebel forces were better • armed and
caparisoned than usual, and were variously esti
mated at from 10,000 to 20,000 in numbers. The
battle raged with the utmost fury during Thum
day, and our troops exhibited the greatest bravery
throughout.
THE REINFOROEMENTS.
The attack was not a surprise, and was not alto•
gether unexpected. Plans had been perfected for
the total destruction of the rebel forces, but, owing
to the terrible condition of the roads, and the lack
of earnestness of purpose and perseverance, on the
part of some of our officers high in command, who
should have hurried forward reinforcements, the day
was lost to us. In this connection, Gen. Gilbert,
commanding division, is severely censured. For
some reasons, he has ever been unfortunate in this
war, as well. as unpopular among the officers and
soldiers.
OUR TROOPS OVERPOWERED.
There is no question here about the behavior of
our troops. They fought splendidly during Thuri
day and acted with the steadiness of veterans, but
were finally overpowered and driven back by the
rebel host. The rebel cavalry came down upon
Colonel Coburn's brigade Just before dark and rout.
ed it completely, leaving no hope for rallying at that
late hour in the day, especially as ammunition
trains had been turned back toward Franklin, and
many of our men were entirely out of ammunition.
LOSS OF TIIE REBELS
The loss of the rebels in the action, as near u
could be ascertained, was two hundred and ten (210)
killed, and five hundred wounded. There is but little
doubt that the rebel loss is much greater than this,
ns during the skirmishing early in the:clay our troops
held a decided advantage over the rebels, and the
latter carried back their killed and wounded.
THE FEDERIIL LOSS.
None of our officers were killed, although quite a
number were wounded. Our loss in non-commis
sioned officers and enlisted men foots up as follows :
Killed, 100 ; wounded, 210 ; taken prisoners by Gen.
Forrest, about 1,000. The Eighty-fifth Indiana
Infantry lost 260 killed, wounded, and missing ; the
Thirty-third Indiana Infantry, 440 ; Twenty-second
Wieconein, 159 ; Nineteenth Michigan, 454.
RETREAT OF THE REBELS
During Thursday night the rebels retreated. Our
forces left to us after the battle were not sufficient
here to follow them up. If this could have been
done, this dearly-won rebel success might have been
turned into a decided Union victory. General
Roaecrans has been here, and, judging from his
loolm, will make some of our " generals
more attentive, or make the military profession
a very unpopular one for them.
THE AFFAIR AT UNIONVILLE
On Saturday, the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry
and the Fourth Michigan Cavalry had quite a battle
with a body of rebels advancing towards Unionville.
The air took place near the town.
THE RESULTS
The following are the manila :
1. The rebels were badly whipped.
2. The Federal loss was very small.
3. Two hundred and thirty rebels were killed and
wounded and left upon the field.
4. We captured fifty-six rebels, a considerable
number of small arms, ode, spiked brass six•pounder
howitzer, and a quantity of stores. B. 0. T.

(To t he A sto elated Press.]
Nesnvir.mr, March B.—Late news from Franklin
states thattour troops for ght with great valor in the
recent conflict until their ammunition was ex
hausted.
Our loss in killed and wounded was about three
hundred, and in prisoners a thousand. The report
about the rebel negro regiments proves to have been

double that on our side in killed and wounded.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
(Despatch to the Evening Bulletin.]
CINCINNATI, March 9.—The Gazelle has received a
special despatch stating that in the recent fight at
Thompson's Station, near Franklin, Tennessee,
there is no evidence that Colonel Coburn omitted
any precaution to guard against surprise. On the
contrary, there was no surprise or ambuscade.

force in front, and the brigade of Union forces was
slowly advancing when the rebels appeared in over

to 20,000 men belonging to General Van Dorn's divi
sion. They say sixteen rebel brigadier generals were
on the field. The actual rebel force was twelve thou
sand engaged. They acknowledge a loss of one colo

THEODORE D. WELD, ft well-known
anti-slavery speaker of twenty-five years ago, de
livered a lecture last evening, at the Spring Garden
Institute, upon the rebellion. The audience was
intellectual and numerous. Mr. Weld, of course,
charged the war upon slavery, but instead of enter
taining the received opinion that Secession was
intended to be permanent, and resulting in the gra
dual establishment of a slave empire throughout
Mexico and Central America, he argued that the
Southern leaders simply wished to secede7for a few
months, in order that. amendments might be made
to the Constitution which would strengthen the
slave power. Their argument was that the Korth
would be intimidated by their act and humbly bend,
as heretofore, to their will. They Were totally un
prepared for the universal uprising that ensued, to
vindicate the integrity and majesty of the Union.
Mr. Weld is a very attractive speaker, and pre
sents his views in an original form.

has paid this year a dividend of $4 per share, or

from the earnings of the mine, a permanent invest

record, having paid $140,200 in dividends, with
$lOO,OOO in the treasury, and with machinery, etc.,
valued at $292,000, all on a capital of $200,000 ($lO

among its stockholders, who paid in only $03,000.
So, also, the Cliff' has paid, on an original capital of
$lBO,OOO, dividends amounting to $1,500,000. This
year will certainly witness the addition of two other
companies to the list—the Central and Rockland;

nion.—The status of the operations of this mining
company is now most excellent, and contrasts very
favorably with that of those of the year 1660. At
that time the majority of the stock was in the hands
of speculators, whose sole aim was. to derive profit
from transactions at the Board, who hadno interest
in the management of the mine, save inasmuch as
favorable reports influence the price of shares, and
who care nothing for the future of the exploitation.
It is a fortunate occurrence that the stock has fallen
into the hands of men Who are determined to prove
up and work the really valuable property belonging
to the company, trusting to be remunerated from the
profits derived from a judicious system of operations.
Hence we find a vigorous prosecution of the work to
be the plan of the superintendent, seconded by the
action of the directors and stockholders—a system
which will this year unquestionably place the Rohe.
hemian 311ne in the list of the self-suatalning con..
cerise of Lake Superior.
Attention is being directed to three valuable 17011111
crossing the location, and a liberal and correct system
of operations which ]ooks to the future of, the mine,
is being prosecuted on them aIL The average yield of
these 11l4talliferous deposits cannot be less than 500
pounds of refined copper. to the cubic fathom, which,
at 30 cents per pound, (the present price ie much
above that rate), would give to each 216 cubic feet
of vein a value of $l5O. The entire costs of mining
'this amount of copper need not exceed $75, (the ave
rage of the principal mines of Lake Superior is less
than $69), which leaves a margin of $l5 tor every
fathom of ground removed, to be expended in the
erection of machinery and such other improventents
as are essential in rendering any concern profitable
and dividend.paying.
These few calculations, based on an exact and
thorough knowledge of the property, will show that
the assertion that the Bohemian will at least be
eelfluPporting, and make but few
.demande on its
shareholders (except for such capital as may be re
quired to open the mines sufficiently and for the
erection of machinery previous to • atoping), is justi.

The recent letters and reports from the Lake SU

value of the property under consideration, as well
as to that of other mines, the stock of which is
mainly held in this city.. The great copper region of
the United States, whose yearly produot exceeds
$4,000,000, no longer rests under the stigma of being

HIV YORK CITY.
(Correspondence of The Press.
DIP.w Yonar, March 9, 1863.
YALLANDIGHAM'S SPEECH,
on Saturday night, before the ruffians of the Demo.
cratic Revolutionary Club, was, if possible, more
malignant in its open treason than any df his pre
vious abuses of the liberty of speech. The night
was wretchedly stormy, but at least three thousand
conspirators and malcontents were on hand to en
courage the malicious recreant from Ohio, and the
applause was the more turbulent as the speaker's
defamation of his native land was the more shame
less. Here is a specimen. Vallandigham said :
Congress had attempted to invest the President
with power to compel every citizen between 20 and
15 to serve in the army as a conscript.
Voices—" He can't do it." Don't see it." "Not
another man." "He can't raise another man."
"We won't go."
This bill had, so far as Congress could,'surren
dered the entire military power of the Government
into the hands of the President—both the puree
and the sword. What else could be needed
to make a Dictator I As to 'the bill
permitting the President and his asso
ciates to imprison a man until a distant session
of a United States court; if a man is cleared of all
accusations, he may be detained at the pleasure of
the President, unless he chose to take an unconstitu
tional and execrable oath. [Applause.] lam ready
to try these questions before ,the freemen of the
country; but when the attempt is made to take away
that other right, and only instrumentality peacefully
to reform and correct abuses, free assemblages, and a
tree ballot, and a free election, then the hour will
have arrived when it will be the duty of free
men to find some other and efficient mode of defend
ing their liberties.
[This was greeted by the moat overwhelming and
enthusiastic expressions of approval, the audience
rising to its feet, and using every means, by stamp
ing,clapping of hands, shaking of hats, umbrellas,
and canes, and "three cheers for thelast sentiment's
and " three cheers for the speaker."] ,
Traitor as he is, Vallandigliam yet deserves some
little respect for his boldness. Unlike a majority of
his class, who rather insinuate than affirm their
alliance with Jeff Davis, and use circumlocutory
phrases to encourage the revolutionary spirit of the
ignorant, this man unblushingly applies the plainest
kind of billingsgate to the National Government
and all decent men connected with it, and tells hie
lawless mob, in so many words, that armed revolu
tion is the " efficient mode of defending their liber
ties." The quotation I have given from the speeah
was the least offensive pulsa t e from the latter,
which abounded in insults to our soldiers in the
field, abuse of the . President as a "tyrant," and
event possible sentiment calculated to stir up riot
and sedition. It la Shameful that such a venomous
outpouring of undisguised treason should go forth
to. Europe, to be quoted in the Times and other un
friendly journals there, to cast a stigma upon the
loyalty of a city which has sent so many thousand
volunteers to tight for the Union.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
is ,7 virtually suspended in this State, and in the
cases of two convicted murderers, our Supreme
Court decrees that to pus sentence of death upon a
criminal now is only equivalent to sentencing hint
to imprisonment for life. So much for the inter
meddling of the last Legislature with laws which
they were incapable of amending, and could - only
render incomprehensible, and consequently de
stroy. Another law which has thus been hope
lessly muddled is that relating to a married woman's
right to hold property, which no lawyer in this State
can construe to any definite meaning. Occasionally
this stupid muddling of the statutes has been at•
tributable to the blundering phraseology of green
old legislators from the rural districts, but it
promises to be greatly aggravated in future by the
verdant doings of the very young and inexperienced
men whom it has become fashionable for the city to
send to Albany. There are at least half 'a dozen
such roystering youngsters in the present Legs's
turef and nice work they will make with the statute
book if permitted to have their way.
AT THE HOTELS
the distinguished guests are pretty fairly distributed
today: Tallandigham is at the St. Nicholas, Gene
ral Blenker at another leading Mina, and eight
Wisconsin Indians, with their threeinterpreters, at
the Metropolitan.
General Burnside has given notice to the tenants
of a house which he owns up-town, that it is his
intention to take possession of the same with his
family on the first of May. This hardly coincides
with the recent statement from Washington, that
the General has been invested with an important
command, and is to leave for the scene of his duties
in a few days.

MONEY AND STOCK
The New York Evening Poe of to-day says:
Some polite recriminations have been flashing in the
lurid atmosphere of Wall street, arising from the action
of certain money-lending institutions iu making loans
on gold. Now, it has for seine time been the common
topic of approving comment in conservative finalcial
circles, that some of the principal corporations have not
only refused to lend above par on gold, but that they
were on the alert to slop their usual loans even before
the action of Congress.
Moreover, it is well remembered that in a dark boar
not longpast, these very Institutions rallied in a body
to the support of the Government, as did the capitalists
'of England in the similar financial crisis of 1797.
The market opened with considerable animation, which
was well kept up to the close.

Ample provision has been made by the &Mali
Parliament for the establishment of the Prince of
Wales. The House of Commons, on the 19th ult.,
unanimously approved Lord Palmerstoros proposi
tion to settle upon the Prince the sum of ,e 40,000
a year, in addition to his annual income of £60,000
from the Duchy of Cornwall, with an additional
sum of £lO,OOO a year for the Prince's—in all, .£llO,-
000 a year, or five hundred and fluty thousand dollars,
in addition to twenty years' accumulation of the
revenues from his Duchy. These accumulations
were greatly increased by the personal care of the
late Prince Albert.
The on clit is, that Col. Fleury wanted to go
over to England and challenge the gallant author
Einglake, for his insult to the Emperor. His Ma
jesty, however, forbade the proceeding, and wisely
so, as he well knew that it would only end in a
hearty laugh at his expense, a Punch cartoon, and,
perhaps, the French colonel being ignominiously
brought up before the Bow-street magistrate, and
very politely requested to find sureties for keeping
the peace towards her Majesty's liege subjects.
—lt is certainly an ill wind that blows nobody
good, And the prevailing notion in England that it
will be the proper thing for everybody to wear a
white favor on the day of the Prince of Wales' mar
riage has given a great impetus to the ribbon trade.
The beauty of Madame Canrobert created quite
a seneation at a pall given by the Princess Ma

—At the last ball given by the Austrian Court, a
novel kind of bonbon formed a dish for the supper

was ornamented with a miniature likeness of some
Austrian or foreign Prince. The Empress Eugenie
figured among these sweetened heads, though the
likeness was not so striking as to make one think
