To the Editor of The Press: Sun: Your attention and that of our retiONV•Citi. MIS is earnestly invited to the following brief state ment of facts that are believed to be of absorbing interest to the citizens of Philadelphia, and the knowledge of which should arouse to action the energies of every well-wisher for the future well being of our city. The commercial statistics of our country exhibit these remarkable conditions. During the last fifty years, while the population of our city has increased about GOO per cent., and our internal transportation facilities more than 1,009 per cent., our foreign ex ports have declined from an annual average of $lB7 a head, to less than $l4 a head for each inhabitant of our city. .. • Fifty years ago, when the popUlation of Phila. delphiaWas less than 100,000 souls, when there was not a mile of canal or railroad in the State of Penn. sylvania, and when the Great West was a wilder ness, our foreign exports from 1800 to 1810 averaged $18,000,000 a year, against an average of only $6,700,- 000 a year from 1050 to 1860, when our population is near 600,000 souls ; when we have 1,500. miles of canal and 3,000 miles of railroad in our own State; when, the'West is an empire, sending to us millions of tons „of freight and thousands of passengers ; when near 200,000 tons of freight a year (or enough . to load sixteen large steamers every month) is sent from our own wharves ,to New York, mostly for foreign shipment, because we have no steam or other adequate means of transportation on the ocean. It is a remarkable fact, that nearly half of the Euro.: peen steamers running out . of New- York- are 811 L, twined by the freights and passengers passing L thrOugh Philadelphia. r . . From Philadelplda, via Pennayl vania Central Railroad Difference hi favor of Philad'a 'Thus we find the Northern. lake cities are,one hundred miles nearer, and. the Ohio and Mississippi river cities one hundred and fifty miles nearer to tide water at Philadelphia than via New 'York. This gives us an advantage sufficient to build up an empire of trade. Add to this the fact that freight may reach here from Chicago without breaking bulk, while via New York there must be several transshipmedats, each of which is estimated equal to tifty mile transportation by rail, and-we have an advantage that cannot be successfully competed with by any power on earth using the same means of ocean transit And yet, with all these ad vantages, the foreign exports of Philadelphia are but little over one-third what they were fifty years ago. New York in the meantime—wluch was scarcely even with us in 1660 to 1810—by fostering hbr mari time commerce, and providing even indifferent ocean steam facilities, has ecome the focus for the trade and commerce of the country, as well as for the transatlantic trade and travel. She has added to her population more than 1,000 per cent. ; increased her foreign exports 800 per cent. ; est a blished herself as the commercial emporium of the continent ; exports to foreign ports $140,000,000 a year; receives tribute on more than one half of ,the whole foreign eom fierce of the United States ; and, strange as it may appear, (allowing but five per cent. on the value of goods imported,) the merchants of Philadelphia have actually paid, for freights alone, on New York steamers, over $1,500,000 in one year—ereugh: to build three first-class steamships. The totgforelgn commerce of the United States, in 1660, was $762,- 288,550, of which $394,045,326' passed through New York. Philadelphia was formerly the peer of New York in every respect. As the chief commercial city of the continent, she imported not only for the country West and South, but for New York also: Now, she pays tribute to New York, in various ways, several millions of dollars every year; and, in the absence of ocean steam facilities, Philadelphia has not only lost the carrying of both freight and passengers on. the ocean, with all the local advantages resulting therefrom (which maybe reckoned by millions every month), but the great State of Pennsylvania has actually fallen from her proud position as No. 1 to the humble grade oft No. 11 among the States in their foreign export trade.

Major Thorne's, of the Confederate States army in East Tennessee, has in his command a full company of Cherokee Indians from the Indian settlements of North Carolina. They make fine • soldiers, obey orders promptly, make the best scouts in the world, have committed no depredations upon citizens, Are perfectly orderly and docile, and have done much to rid that modern Sodom of its Abolition bushwhackers and assassins. (This confirms the statement of massacres of Union men by Indians.] BOMBARDMENT Or FORT MoALLISTER. The Richmond ixaminer of ,Monday, the 9th, has the following : Up to last night nothing later had been received at the War Department from Fort McAllister. The latest accounts we have say that .the Yankee fleet, after a terrific bombardment, had retired, and it is thought the enemy had been again repulsed, at least he has shown no further disposition to renew the attack. The bombardment is represented to have been terrific. The fire of three iron.clads and three mortar boats was concentrated on the fort at the same time, and shell and shots literally rained on the garrison. • The fire commenced about nine o'clock in the morning, and continued up to a late 1101111 a lil? 1111111ifi orming' cam. 1.1.. a. cot n:•1 Car." tourtt. andhn One failed, strange to gay; and in the contest the fort is said to have sustained but little damage, and our loss is said to be two wounded and none killed. It shows that Yankee gunboats and mortars are a humbug. In fact, we are told that, so accustomed have become the people of , Vicksburg to them and so little the fear mant a feeted at their shelling, when the fire commences ' the people go out to witness it as a kind of amuse ment. The oft-repeated tale thatthe Yankees were pre paring to cross the Rappahannock at Fredericks. burg was renewed yesterday morning with conside rable earnestness. The report on this occasion origi nated in a statement to the effect that Hooker's army was ready, anxious, and determined to move forward on the first fair day, or very shortly there after. _ EFFECTS OF THE WAR AT THE NORTH. The same paper contains the following editorials on the effects of the war at the North : While we are suffering the miseries of changing from a deranged and redundant currency, it is sweet to know that the hateful Yankees, the author of all our woes, have not escaped similar evils. From a . gentleman who left New York, ten days ago, we have received an interesting and highly-gratifying account of the condition of the currency and the markets of the great metropolis, which, being its centre of trade and wealth, is a ce rtain index of the condition of affairs throughout the North. Our in formant says that the price of every article in the market has risen 200 and a great many of them 300 per vent. Beal estate is held at fabulous prices, and ' .01;14,. ix ex Irxr4 :axe !Lb/nip: M Qat( e w us.

AN APPEAL TO PLANT CORN.. The same paper also says Now, if ever, is the time to plant the corn that alone can carry the Confederacy through the trial of • this year. Yet many plant seed tobacco which they think will not be i mpressed , and which is worth much money. We would say one word to them. If the country cannot supply the army with provisions dining this summer, the army can't remain in Vir ginia. If it leaves Virginia, it must be given up to the Yankees, who -will appropriate not only tobacco contraband of war, but seize everything else that we have, and reduce the country to a wilderness. If the Legislature adjourns , without prohibiting the culture of tobacco, and requiring the officers of the law to destroy every leaf which they find growing for twelve months to come, the chance of this State is indeed poor.

[Frornlile Charleston Courier, February 28, The scarcity of food, which, in another year, is not likely to become most serious, is not owing to the incapacity of the South to subsist itself; for it is fact that, in those very regions of the Confederacy which have heretofore been chiefly grain-growing, the scarcity is the greatest. It is owing to two facts, save the Richmond Examiner; first, that the armies of the Confederacy are continually, recruited from the farming class, instead of preserving in the ranks the men already- enlisted ; and, second, that these armies, operating, as they have been, chiefly in the grain-producing portions of the, country, have, by wholesale impressments; in many cases wanton, un necessary, and with needless rudeness and tyranny, discouraged the' farmers from putting in further crops. On the latter branch of toe subject it is un necessary to remark. Congress is maturing a bill which promises to meet the evil, if faithfully exe cuted, and to restore large wastes of fertile land to cultivation. History is full , of admonition against robbing industry of its hard-earned fruits, Nothing so rapidly,oversprentis a country with the evidence of dilapidation' and decay as theme wholesale rob beries of the farmer, by insolent minions of Govern- "Let every man, Woman, and child at home," says our cotemporary of the Mobile Register, " with a yard square of ground, scratch it and put it in corn. Every grain carefully entrusted to the fruit ful-earth is a mite of contribution to the nation's liberty. Every acre of cotton planted is a comfort to our enemies, and a nail in the coffin of Confede rate independence." The Chattanooga Rebel says "We cannot itoo strongly urge upon our friends the propriety of planting no more Cotton. than is necessary to raise seed for another year. We repeat what we said on a former occasion: 'Let every effort be made in every State to secure the' greatest amount of food. Let the people go to work now to_ make, clothing. po.not put these things off. Let those learn to spin and weave now who never knew before.

Leaving the De Solo and coal barge in a secure position, I pro. ceeded down the stream. Six miles from Its mouth I met a train .of army wagons returning from. Simmsport. I landed and destroyed them. On reaching Slmmsport I found that two rebel steam boats had just left, taking with them the troops and artillery stationed at that point. They had left on the bank seventy barrels of Government beef, which I broke up 'and rolled into the river. I pursued another train of wagons into the swamps, where they escaped. One, of their wagons, loaded with ammunition and stores, fell into our hands and was destroyed. On our return a , party of overseers and other civilians fired into the Queen from behind a levee and immediately fled under cover of the darkness. First Master Jae. D.

She proved to be no Era No. 6, loaded with forty-five hundred bushels or corn. She had on board two rebel lieutenants and fourteen privates. The. latter I at once paroled and set ashore. I left the Era and coal barge in charge of a guard. 'We reached the bend just below Gordon's Landing before dusk ; the dense smoke of several boats rapidly firing up could be seen over the tops of the trees as we approached. I ordered the pilot to proceed very slowly, and merely show the bow of the Queen around the point. From the sharp bend which the river makes at this place there was no apparent difficulty in withdrawing out of range of the enemy's guns whenever it might be desired. The rebels opened upon us with four 32-pounders the moment we came in sight. Their guns were in a fine position, and at the third shot I ordered Delr. Garvey, the pilot, to back the Queen out. Instead of doing so, he ran her aground on the right-hand shore. The position at once became a very hot one. Sixty yards below we would have been in no danger. As it was, the enemy's shot struck us nearly every time. The chief engineer had hardly reported to me that the escape pipe was shot away when an explo sion below and a rush of steam around the boat told me that the steam pipe had been cut in two. Noth ing further, of course, could be done. I gave orders to lowertheyawl at the stem of the Queento carry off Capt. Thompson, who lay wounded in my state room. Some persons had already taken the yawl, however, and the other _yawl was on the De Soto, a short distance below. Fortunately, the cotton bales with which the Queen was protected afibrded an avenue of escape, and a majority of the men and officers succeeded in reaching the De Soto. I or dered this boat to be brought up as far. as it was practicable, without being struck, and sent her yawl to the Queen. Lieut. Tuthill and Third Master Duncan bravely volunteered for this purpose. I re mained with the De Soto over an hour, picking up men on cotton bales. Lieut. Tuthill barely succeed- ON Oil JIM %into P 211111115 Der jaaoe Len uzioA, t,ul. Ala coal not Le JO svklio Ont.

All the passages bad been looked up with cot ton, the interior of the boat was intensely dark, filled with steam, and strewed with shattered furniture. The display of a light enabled the batteries to strike her .with unerring . certainty. .To have brought the De Soto alongside would have insured her destruction, as the light from the latter's fur . naces rendered her a conspicuous mark. A dense fog sprung up as we started down in the De. Soto and she lost her rudder by running into the bank. Drifting down fifteen miles, I took posses sion of the Era and scuttled and burnt the De Soto and barge. Knowing the rebels would lose no time in pursuing, I pushed on through the fog, throwing oil corn to lighten her. 'We reached the fississippi at dawn. Opposite Ellis Olin Mr. Garvey ran the Era, a boat drawing less than two feet of water, hard aground, actually . permitting her wheels to make several revolutions after she bad struck, and it was with the utmost difficulty she could be gotten off. The disloyal sentiments openly expressed by Mr. Garvey a few hours before this occurrence ren dered it necessary for me to place him under arrest and fix upon him the unwilling conviction that the . loss of the Queen was due to the deliberate treachery of her pilot. It is to be regretted that the illness of Mr. Scott Long who piloted the Queen past the Vicksburg batteries, rendered it necessary to entrust the Queen to the management of Mr. Garvey. The next morning, a short dietancebelowNatcher, I met the Indianola. Captain Brown thought that he might be able to ascend Red river and destroy the battery at Gordon's Landing, and I accompanied him down in the Era, leading the may. I had not gone three !ail", when a break in tho dengue fog die =laud...llt —:n 1r 1:1 untie to blow towir'n Claotnin Brown of her presence. As soon all the rebel steamer, Min was undoubtedly the Webb, 'perceived the Indianola, she turned and fled. The lett& fired two shots at her but without effect .. I ,learned afterward 'that their three armed boats had been sent in pursuit of the Ern and had been turned back by the Webb on her retreat. On reaching this stream Captain Brown decided I not to ascend it, and I thought it beet to return at once. Thinking we might be attacked on the way up, I seized a hundred and seventy bales of cotton, and protected the Era's machinery as far as practica ble. At Saint Joseph's I landed and seized the main, and learned from them that Colonel Adams was wailing for us at Grand Gulf, with two pieces of artillery. Thirty-six shots were fired at the Era while passing that point, none of which took effect. On reaching Island No. 107 a body of riflemen opened a heavy fire upon the Era from the Maids- , Mind shore. Suspecting it to be a ruse to draw ' to the other side of the river, I decided on keeping the right of the island. The furnaces of the. Era became so , clogged at this point that I found it‘ne cessary to stop and have them cleaned out; a delay of twenty minutes being caused by this.. The Era had passed the island, when a battery of three guns opened upon us from the Louisiana shore. Forty six shots were fired, but did no injury. At Warren ton the rebels. opened tire upon the Era with two rifled 20•poundere. They fired twenty-four shots, but did not succeed in striking her, extraordinary as it may appear. There is every reason to believe that no one was killed on the Queen. It is probably attributable to the fact that those below got into the bole through the numerous hatches, and thus escaped the effects of the steam. Mr. Taylor, the engineer, is reported to be badly scalded by a de serter from the Webb. Twenty-four men were taken prisoners, ten of whom were civilians em ployed on the boat. Assistant Surgeon Booth was the only commissioned officer captured. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, OFTARLES R. ELLET, Coinailiffdleg Ram Fleet. Acting Re ar Admiral D.l). PtiivreaLra Oeinanding tlittir.rt Elz,e,:gest !. Isait.Tiiii_ollll:lltlNß c hLAID'Q'OVI PUP The river, and theofthetro possibility thatduimboatl shendie m nol m a y , the Be THREE CENTS. theand employed by the rebels for operations on the river in the vicinity of Vicksburg, has created some apprehension for the safety of our transports with the army. With the exception or one weak point, the Indianola was a formidable vessel. She was (one of a number built by Joseph Brown, on the Ohio river, and recently finished. Her armament consisted of two It•ineh and two Sinch guns. She watillight draught, with a wheel on each qu at ter-stern and two propellers between the wheels, and an en gine of sufficient power to give her great speed. The wheels were unprotected, and this weak point was probably the anon of her loss. The report that she was sunk suggests that a ball must have penetrated through her wheel-house, and forced itself Into the bold. Her iron-plating and casemates were regard ed as invulnerable. If she is raised and put in fighting trim she may give our navy some trouble, though we do not par take of the apprehensions of any great danger. if we had but a single gunboat at Vicksburg, and she should encounter it alone, the result might be re garded with anxiety. But there is a number of iron clads at that place, some of them quite formida ble: Among them is the Benton, with which the people of St. Louis are well acquainted, both with her model and construction, and the many brilliant exploits which she has performed since she lefthere, more then a year ago. She was among the first of the gunboats constructed for the Mississippi navy, and though her iron armor is not so heavy as that placed upon the boats more recently built, she is yet powerful in the number. and calibre of her guns— carrying sixteen. • Of the other boats built about the same time by Mr. T. B. Fads, and now at Vicksburg, and similar to the Benton, there are the BeKalb, 13 guns. ' Caron delet, 13 guns; Louisville, 13 guns; Pittsburg,l3 guns; Mound City, 13 guns. All these would certainly be a match for the Indianola, and the fact that they are all in the vicinity of Vicksburg and ready for fight ing, should allay all anxiety about our transports. But, before this time, another still more formidable vessel has probably arrived at Vicksburg. The La fayette, or Fort Henry, an iron-clad ram, construct-- ed on the marine ways at Carondelet, left Cairo, a few days since, for the scene of expected hostilities. She was fully described in these columns some weeks ago, and we feel confident, from that descrip tion, that she alone is more than a match for the In dianola. Other vessels, now nearly completed, will be ready for service by the time the Indianola can be raised and put in fighting order. The Tuscumbia and Chil licothe, both built by the same party who built the lost vessel, will go down the river In a few days. They are constructed upon the same model as the Indianola, but the first is of greater strength. The Tuscumbia is one hundred and eighty feet in length; her plating to thicker than any other vessel of West ern build, and she carries three eleven-inch guns. Sbe Is intended to be • superior to any boat in the Mississippi navy. The Chillicothe has somewhat lighter plating, and draws less water, but neverthe less is a very formidable boat. She carries two eleven-inch guns. In addition to the foregoing,there is the Eastport, captured in the Tennessee river, and now at Mound City, Illinois, nearly completed. She has been con verted into a powerful iron-plated ram. The Choc taw, now lying near the upper ferry at this city, is nearly completed. She is a ram, somewhat similar to the Lafayette, except that she has a stationary turret. At the ship-yard of Mr. Eads, in CarondeleE, are the Osage and Neosho, iron boats with revolving turrets, nearly completed. Thus it will be seen that they are safe enough now. In a few days a fleet of vessels will Le at Vicksburg whose invulnerable armors and powerful armaments will not only defy any danger to our transports, but 'successfully assail the rebel fortitications.—Sf.

Patri9tie Resolutions. -At a M o ues meeting of the citizens' of Atlantic county, Now Jersey, held for the purpose of nomi nating county officers, the following patriotic reso lutions were passed without a dissenting voice: HAMMONTON, N.

Whereas, The friends of the Union and supporters Of the present Administration have once more as sembled in caucus to exercise the right of freemen, to nominate candidates for township officers to be supported at the coming election : Resolved, That in consideration of the present exi gencies of the times, the revolutionary state of our common country, we, as loyal citizens, do hereby extend to the• National Administration our most cordial and unqualified support, for the speedy sup pression and putting down one of the most damnable conspiracies the world ever. saw.

Resolved, We are fully sensible of the fact that the time has arrived when it becomes the imperative duty of every lover of his country to show his colors, it being a self-evident fact that those who are not in favor of sustaining the Government must be classed with those who are endeavoring to destroy it. Resolved, There can be but two parties to the pend ing contest; for the kresent war which has been forced ulum us by the bouth, is, virtually, the death struggle between slavery and freedom.

From the country a current, increasing in in tensity and volume, is. pouring into the vaults of our banks, and still those who have sold short find the gy•atett difficulty to fulfil their engagements. A thousand ingenious theories, i accounting for this abnormal and temporary state of t hings, e.ro confidently Boated, pass current for an hour, and give place to other hypotheses equally substantial and long-lived. In the beat-informed circles we find ' however, the opinion firmly held that one leading cause of the scarcity which has checked the inevitable fall of gold is the im possibility of borrowing gold now with the same facility as formerly. For the borrowing of gold has contributed almost as much to foster speculation as the borrowing upon it; and it is one great merit of the recent legislation of Congress that it strikes at both these roots of tne evil. 1311111111 - 01 ommtprout, thilliiiiiiiiini nil alli r4.„:tit..i... ... --a..u. •9. liimilinmam MI L ‘66IOIPBt. 1116111 M 11(1 , 7% 110 T 0/ WWI 7la Ain 81/1111 - natal that soy more gleamy of indebtedness will bo issued with• interest payable in gold, and there is no stock offering so cheap as these securities. .They were freely issued in February, but are being taken up so quickly by banks and investors, that soon there will bo none to be had below per.
