THE NEWS.
THE news which we publish from 'Richmond
pers of yesterday, telegraphed from the headquar =
tern of the' Army of the Ptitomac, is very important.
It is rumored that General Hosecrans has: made - a
great Movement to cheek the advance of General
Longstreet in Kentucky. The rebels at Chattanoo
ga are of the opinion that the former has retreated.
General Joseph' Johnston, Commander-in= Chief of
- the rebel army in-the Southwest, has permanently
located his headquarters at Tullthonia, -Alaba . ma.
An attack 'upon Charleston is looked for by- the
rebels about the emt of April, When tliesPricig tides

rienced througheut the S,outh,in consequence of the
military `mtinepolyrof allthe rail/6AL

Gnu pickets, near the Oceoquan,were attacked
on Saturday night by a body of guerillas, numbering
about cne hundred. _ The pinketsmatte a very reso
lute stand, and; though - Only `twenty-four to nurn
ber, sustained the attack. Of the whole rebel force.
The rebele•Carrled off' tWelve .prisoners, killed one
and wounded three or ibur of our men. We cap
tured one of their wounded men, supposed to be a
lieutenant. It is believed that the rebel force.was
composed in a measure of the citizens in the vicini
ty, and that they have been trying for some time to
take our men unawares. The pickets were frOm the
2d Pennsylvania Cavalry. None of the officers
were captured. ',ln consequence of this, troops have
been sent to Centreville.' • ' • •
Am - rose frtim Parkersburg Va of Saturday,
state that the daily packets and transient steam
: boats used 'latterly by, the Government for tempora
ry service On- the Ohio river being now released,
. trans.
goods are now ported with despatch as hereto
fOre, from thie point to Fortemouth, Maysville, Cin
cinnati, Madison, Louisville, &c. '
Tun ignorant and reckless persons'in Noble coun
ty, Ohio, who conspiredtoyesist the military autho
ritiee in the arrest of deserters, and organized for
that purpose, fled before the troops sent to enforce
law and order, without waiting to 'see the bayonetir,
and are now hiding themselves. They talked very
defiantly until they saw the authorities were in ear
nest, but shrank from the overt act of crime they
had contemplated. So it will be elsewhere. It is a
happy circumstance that this speck of. civil war in
Ohio has passed away without the shedding of a
drop of blood. We hope the lesson will prove suffi
cient.' Whatever 'force - may be necessary to arrest
deserters. andenforce the laws will unquestionably
be employed,; without hesitation. -
AN expedition, composed of two regiments ofloyal
Indiana, projected by General West; commanding
the Department of New. Mexieo, has returned to
Santa Fe from a successful incursion into south
western Texas. 'These loyal -Indians succeeded in
destroying a vast amount of rebel property and cap
.
turfing a large number of horses, Scp. A . number. of
Texsuirebels were killed in a series of skirmishes. .
Tun London papers are full of theduce . of
Wales , wedding.' The entrance of the Princeei Alex
. andra..into London was a magnificent reception.
Descriptions -of the - bridal presents, trosseau, and
everything' else pertaining to the great event, croivd
the-columns of the Enklish press, and have been for
weeks past the• mental condiment of the Ei3glish
people. ,
Tan body:of the late General Sumner lay in state
at the City 'Hall of Syracuse yesterday, and was
Visited by a large concourse of citizens— The hine
rid of the old hero, will take plaCe to-day, and will
probably be-the most imposing ceremony, of the kind
ever witnessed in Western or Central New York.
Tux decline in gold at New York yesterday was
very sudden and rapid. Between nine o'clock in the
morning and one in the afternoon it declined three
and a'quarter per cent.
ADVICES from the West state that the evacuation
of Vicksburg is being advocated by the rebels, for
the purpose of massing their troops with the army
of Middle Tennessee, for strategic advantages. Pro-
minent rebels claim that Rosecians would, in that.
case; be obliged to repeat General Buell's move
ments of- last yeag. The rebels 'are reconnoitring
'General. Rosecrans' entire front, but - do not appear
to be anxious to bring on a general engagement..
Tux news from Gen. Grant's . army about Vick-s
-burg is important. It is 'reported that our forces
have got into the rear of the batteries at Haines's
Bluff, and that we have successfully flanked the rebel
position at Vickeburg. If this be true, and there is
little-doubt of it, the latter stronghold.will probably
be evacuated. The Mississippi river will be opened
to . legitimate navigation in a short time now, unless
some extraordinary disaster should occur to the
armies of Gene. Banks and Grant. ; -
THE court martial convened for the trial - of Col, -
D'Utaesy, of the Garibaldi Guards, on charges of
extortion, slander, and forgery, of which the nume
rous specifications cover more than sixty printed
pages, has been dissolved by Gen. Casey,. for what
reason is not positively known. -
Two free-born colored boys, who went out as .ser
vants to some of the officers in the 42d Massachusetts
Regiment, and;at the capture of GalVeston were
taken by the rebels, have been sold into slavery
by their . captors. - What a commentary upon the
. boasted civilization of the age is this enslavement of
free-born Northern boys!
ON the 24th ult., Gen.:Hardee was united in bonds
of wedlock to Miss Ready, of Murfreesboro, sister
to the wife of Gen. John H. Morgan. - The marriage
took place at Tullahoma; and was attended by all the
military grandees.
A LETTER from our correspondent at Lebanon,
Me., published on the Brat page of this paper, giies
an interesting review of affairs in the " Department
of the Southwest." It is intimated 'that General
Sterling Price will make a vigorous effort to invade
Missouri once more:
Tni3'rebel battery at Greenwood, on the Talla
hatchie river, which opposed, at last accounts, the
passage of our fleet, is said to be manned with rifled
guns, which throwconioal shot. The rebel force at
that point is not known.
Our extracts from the Richmond papers this
morning are very interesting. The straits of the
rebels are narrowed down to a disagreeable con
traction.
THU Connecticut soldiers at Port Royal, South
Carolina, have been greatly excited against. one of
their officers, who was endeavoring to fraudulently
obtain the signatures of a 'Umber of Men in his regi.
ment to a series of peace resolutions.
FROM Missouri, we learn that one of our scouting
parties has had ti sharp skirmish with a portion of
Quantrill's guerillas; in which we suffered a small
loss. -
GOVERNOR CURTIN left Washington yesterday
for the purpose otvisiting the Army of the Potomac
on business connected with the Pennsylvania troops.
A. GENERAL court martial has been convened at
No. Norfolk, Virginia, to try such prisoners as anay -be
brought before it.
Tan slookof-war Juniata has arrived in Hamp

The Financial Situation.
The tall of gold, in New York, with the
report that we have - from blr. JAY COONEj
the Government agent for the sale of its
loan's, are among the most gratifying signs
of the strength of the country, aid-the con
fidence of the people in the. Admiaistration.
On Monday Mr. COOKE received $830,000
from all parts' of the country,while yester
.
day - the large sum of $1,200,000 was , added
.
to it. - This subscription has increased from
clay to day, *and in ten days 'over five millions
has been obtained. This, it must be TC
membereil, is the voluntary offer of thO
people. - Many of the subscriptions come..
frowlie .agripultural districts.. The farmer
has been benefited. by the 'Governtfient in -
obtaining a market for hiS grain and farm
prodilets,.' and he repays "the advantage by
giVing his, aid to the Government in
its financial necessities: In addition to
thisovehave to chronicle the great fall in
gold Which has taken place within the last
few weeks, and which is, taking place now..
In three hours yesterday it fell from 150 to
147, or at the rate of one per cont.. an hour.
This is a healthy - sign, and is - to•be etti:ibu

and to that feeling of confidenee in the:Ad

in every loyal State, and which' is seen,in
the great reaction that is taking place "against
the syMpathizers with the rebellion. Now
let us have a great victory, and a prospect
of an . honorable peace, and the financial
prospect will be a magnificent-reality.
A Deserved: Promotion.
In the multitude of army appointments,
recently made, we have omitted to refer,
editorially, with the commendation it de

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, Mareli:•24, .1.863.
The time will sPeedily. come When the
eyes of the country will again be turned to
the banks of the RaPpiliannoek. 'We' can
see by the rebel newspapers, that the i'irtny of
the. Potomac is inspiring a spirit of dread that
was once :attached to its name, but which
defeat and mismanagement in afterdays de
stroyed. - In addition to this, every courier
from'the army, every officer : and soldier who
phases through: Washington on his way to
liis.Northern home, speaks with enthusiasm
`of his comthanding general, of the cause,
and, above all, of the good , temper and
discipline that pervadejthe army. It may
be safely'stated that the Army:of the
m PO
_
toac . was never in a better "condition-than
it is at this time. There is' more unity
of purpose, a, better 'acquaintance. - with
.the duties of the soldier's life, Mid , a
more reckless disregard of- its dangers.
Thanks tq the provident forethought and
energy, of the Administration, - the soldier
wants for nothing.. He is well, clothed,
well armed, well paid.. He is as com
fortable - - as.it is possible for a soldier to - be.
'He ha

s listened to the great uPrishigin: the

- circle- is' made glad . when the newspaper
from home -'is" read, and the soldier learns
that his efforts and toils and dangers are
not unappreciated by. the,, nation he hag
taken up arms to save. General Hooker,
during the few weeks in which he has been
commanding-general, has effected great re
forms. He took the position -with the re
putation of being one of., our. best sol
diers ; he is adding - that of a great gene
ral.. He has rescued , the army from. a de
moralization as wretched as defeat, . and
by his kindness, firinnesS, and" en'ergyi he
has changed. the. Army . ' of the Petomac
froth a mere engine of political mischief
into , splendid- and . : capable army. The
frosts' of winter are Over; the days are 'be
coming phial anti ple,astint, and two weeks
of reasonable spring weather will make the
roads hard and thy. Everything. indicates
an early and active campaign. It is not
known whether the rebels will receive battle
on. the Rappahannock: The tone of the .
Richmond papers is thcaight to indicate an"
evacuation. of Fredericksburg, and 'a retreat
to a point
,nearer Richthond: The
,rebels
would be:delighted to entice us once again
into the:swamps of the ChickahOminy, and
for that reason they may fall back to their
old - line. of. defences. If General Hooker
permits them to do this, he is not the Man
his friends suppOse him to be. You will re
member when he gave his evidence before
the Senate committee, in reference to the bat
tle of Frederickshurg; he indic,ated a certain
Movement, in. hich : he hoped to flank the
rebel position at Fredericksbitrg and, avoid
.their - fortified hill-tops. Gen. Burnside
overruled that plan, and perhaps 'his jud.g
meth was . better. There were those Who
differed from Gen. Burnside, and alltide
to the - circumstance for the purpose of il
lustratina the great traits" in Gen. Hooker's
character—caution, energy, and boldness.
When he moves it will be with experienced
officers, a veteran army, and the good will
of
,the the, to support hiM. He, has it
in his power to do Morefor his country than
has ever before fallen to the lot, of a public
man. He may be the Saviour of, his coim
try. If he thishee the rebel army and
takes Richmond, the rebellion is at an end. ,
In the Southwest it :is expiring. - Farragut

now- prevails 'in the Southern States, is ae

greatest victory Rosecrans has yet obtained,',
.
as it would release,the mountain country of:
Tennessee with , Its eppressed Union:
people from .a desPotism of - death. . The ,.
affairs about Charleston are not so gratify
ing—the correspondents finding more to say
about the 'quarrels of the-comthanding gene
rals than their victories or their military:effi
ciency. Butiny 'faith in this"war has been net
so.much in the generals as, the. soldiers, and it_
is very, evident that-the Administration Will:
make a short shrift ,of the commanders who
give so much attention to etiquette; and 'so
little to the real duties of : their position: .
Taking a survey of the whole field however,
I think the loyal man has cause for gratitude
and hope. .We only need 'a general:advance
along the lines—a united effort and a' - mighty

will descend -upon a '"dountrY greater , . and

• Levees were being cut, which it was thought
would result in drowning the rebels out.
Rumors were in circulation of the evacuation of
Haines' bluff; and that the Bth Missouri regiment
had gone up to garrison that place. If this report is
true, it foreshadows the fall or evacuation of Vicks
burg.
The Dona - Tat learns that a gentleman, who has
just arrived from Vicksburg, states that the steamer
-Diligent, with the Bth Missouri regiment, had suc
ceeded in entering the Yazoo river, above Haines'.
Bluff. Her course was through the Oypress bayou,
which debouches in the Yazoo opPosite . Johnson's
plantation, where General Sherman's troops landed
last December; thence through Steele's bayou into
the Sunflower, which empties into the Yazoo river
twenty miles above Haines' Bluff.
The:steamer Diligent was accompanied by a light,
gunboat. As soon as it was found-possible to get
through, four iromclads followed.
Our inforMant also .says that thousand. men
had gone up before this movement:was made. • Our
force can thus be placed between Elaines"-Bluff and
Yazoo city, which'ivill enable us to operate in the
rear of our, former position and bring the eneiny be
tween two fires. It is also believed that ourfleet
•
can navigate the bayous, and erder the Yazoo above
Yazoo Pass, by which - our gunboats can co-operate
with our forces.at Greenwood, reduce Fort Pember
ton, and then throw their comhined strength against
Yazoo City, flank -the rebel position. The 'enemy
being thus turned, Vicksburg will AndoUbtedli be
evacuated.
The batteries at Haines' Bbiff were built . so as to
sweep down the riVer, and are powerleos from any
attack from above. -
A confirmation of these tidings is anxiously
looked for. "

as such displays of heartless white sullianistrinare•
popularly called, broke out - yesterday on the pier
owned by the Erie Railroad CoMpany, foOt ofNorth'
Moore street. The employes of the company, some
two hundred in number, having struck for an in . 7
crease of their wages from $1.25 to $1.50 per day, the
foreman of the stevedores very injudiciously em
ployed a number of negro laborers to remove some
bales of cotton from the pier. As soon as the
strikers noticed this moment, they savagely assault
.ed the blacks with missiles of every . - description, •
driving them from their work and pursuing them as
they dispersed, with showers of billets and bricks.
Not content with this, they, made a cowardly attack
upon a colored man who had been attracted to the
scene by' the crowd, maltreating him shamefully.
This man had the courage to ~go before a jus
tice and prefer a charge of assault aim.'
battery against a man named ' Burns, his
principal, assailant. Burns artfulll , preferred a
counter cbatge, whereupon the virtuous .magis
trate discharged the white rowdy, and locked up his
sable victim. Exultant with their glorious victory
over the unresisting creatures, the two hundred
rioters forthwith made their quarrel with the rail
road grandies—a general war against black men,
greatly to the admiration of the ornamental pollee,
force in attendance, who, would not permit colored
draymen even to drive past the pier. The company ,
finally compromised, by agreeing to pay -the ad
vanced rate to all' save the ringleaders of the strike,
and most of the heroes went to work again.. To-day
the police are on guard at the pier; to prevent an ex
pected raid by the aforesaid much-injured riaglead
ers,who are greatly disgusted at ftnding themselves
left, out in the cold, and breathe horrible threats
against the negroes.
MURDER MOST. FOUL
was perpetrated last evening by a deserter named
O'Meara, his wife being the victim, and his home
the scene. O'Meara, who had been upon a lOw
drinking frolic for some days previous, entered, the
room where his wife was bending over her wash-tub,'
and stepping noiselessly behind her, razor in hand,
cut her throat from ear to ear before she could make
the least attempt to defend herself. The poor woman
managed to stagger into an adjoining room, occUpied
by a neighbor, where she named her husband as the
assassin. Then returning •to the iturderer's pre
sence, she fell to the floor, and ekpired without a
word. When the police arrived . theY.found O'Meara,
drenched with his wife's blood, and still holdingthe
razor with which he had - committed the deed.

THE THEATRES LAST NIGHT
offered some variations of their programmes, which
may be considered noteworthy: At Laura Keene's,
the fair directress evidenced tliat , her frequent
summer trips to the coal-mine regions of your State
have not been without dramatic suggentions, by pro
ducing a new three-act adaptation from the English,
called "Jessie BicLane,” the heroine of which
is the daughter and wife of respectable miners.
The play opens in a Pittsburg coal mine, and Jeasie
appears as the crazed wife of a poor, but honest
miner. She has been made insane by a previous
explosion of a fire-damp in said mine, whereby her
"stern parients” were reduced to their original (ode
Darwin) fragments; but as the wily evidence she
gives of her insanity is an expressed wish to get into
fashionable life, her luisband is not aware of her
mental affliction. A smooth villain induces her to
gain high life by eloping with him to New York, and
the husband learns from - his coal-mining associated
that she has per-rooved ah-Talse! Tableau. Then'
the husband puts himself in danger of taking cold
by imprudently washing his face, and starts for
New York in pursuit of the fugitives. He comes
here, finds Jessie and her villain at a Fifth-avenue
residence; has a duel with the villain, without
much loss of blood, and puts such a terrific
charge into his pistol that the report restores Jessie
to sanity, and, subsequently, to her husband's arras.
Tableau! Floral: Do not marry while you are yet
a miner. You will.:Perceive that Pennsylvanfa and
New York have an equal interest in this moral dra
ma, which showsthat even coal-dealem , may have
consciences. • ,
Miss Lucille Western aided the cause of morality
on the same evening, at the Winter darden, by pro
ducing her devotit: drama of ",East Lynne." . She
portrayed the erring wife with such truth to nature
unadorned, that her impersonation was not even
adorned with good grammar. Such intense pre-Ea- -
phaelitism should be its own reward; otherwise, I
fear, it will go unrewarded. -
At the Academy of Music, the convalescence of.

THE LAST. HOURS OF GEN. SUMNER
The Syracuse. Journal of Saturday gives the fol
lowing particulars of the last illness' and death of
General Sumner :
- -He reached his home in this city, frpm Washing
ton, on Friday, the 13th inst., having just received
from the President an appointment to the Depart
went of the West, and intended, early this week, to
fake his departure for his headquaiters; at St.
Louis. On Sunday last he attended church,. and
appeared to be in his usual good health. The next
morning, about 2 o'clock, he was taken with a high
fever, which appeared to be the result of a bold.
Dr. Trowbridge was called, and, at the patient's
request, mild remedies were administered to him, lib
that he might not be prevented from making his
intended journey. The next day his conditicin was
such that his physician
put him under vigorous
medical treatment.
On that day, the succeeding day, and even as late
as Thursday,-Gen. Sumner daily expressed his de
termination to proceed to St. Louie, and but for the
absolute refusal of his , physician to permit it, he
would have undertaken thejourney. On Thursday
noon he directed that a special car be procured for
him and the members of his staff, and that rooms be
ordered for him, by telegraph, that night, at Butra/0-
it "was while endeavormg to corivmee' bit - faintly
that he had the strength to stand the ride by railroad
to Buffalo, by walking several times across the hall
adjacent to his room; that he took the additional
cold which developed his disease into a severe at
tack of congestion of the lungs, .mhich .terminated
fatally in thirty-six hours afterwards. lie felt that
it was imperatively necessary. that he should be in
St:Louis at once, and in his endeavor to discharge
what he considered a high duty to his country he,
sacrificed his life.
The responsibility which he attached to his enter
ing upon his new command immediately grew out
of the peculiar circumstances under which it . was
conferred upon him. His appointment to the De
partment of the West was asked of the President by
Attorney General Dates, 'the Senators and Repre
aentatives in Congress from Missouri and the civil
authorities of that State, in the behalf that his pre
sence-in command there would restore confidence
among the entire people of the State; that the
'farmers would this spring:resume their usual avoca
tions, and that the blessings of peace and prospe- ,
ray would again be reinstated. - - , •-•
When General Sumner's disease assumed the
form of congestion of the lungs, his physicians (Drs.
Trowbridge and Shipman) pronounced his condition
critical, but_ they did not despair of his restoration
to health until Friday , afternoon about two o'clock,
when a great change,took' place—his fever left him .
,
and he suffered intense physical agony, accompanied
by profuse perspiration; and soon he sank into a
lethargic state from which he did not rally. Towards
evening of Friday, the dying• soldier /attemPted
vainly to speak intelligibly to those about him. At
last, when a glass of wine was handed him, he took it
in his band, and with a great effort waved it 'abbve
his bead, and spoke in a voiee as clear and distinct
as ever, "G od save my country. the United States
of America I" These were the last words ,oi -the
patriot hero. He sank rapidly until a quarter past
one o'clock, and died peacefully.
Gen.. Sumner was in his sixty-seventh year
family, consisted of, his wife, who survives him, four
daughtersairs..Tenkins, Mrs. Col. Teall, Mrs. Col.
Long, and Mrs. Col. McLean and two sons, E. V.
Sumner, Jr., on Major- General - Stoneman's staff,

ABDUCTION UASE.--: - CollSiderable excite-
merit was caused, - yesterday, in Chestnut street,
near Ninth, by the appearance of a woman, in the
garb of a nurse, pursuing a. cab and York wagon,
and crying, at the top of her voice, "murder." She
was, however, unable to overtake the vehicles, as
were also the police officers, who joined in the pur
suit, and who unwittingly followed the small-ve
hicle instead of the large one. The cause of the dis
turbance appears from the following facts : A. gentle
man. residing at the Girard House has had family
difficulties with his wife, and the two are.separated,
the latter living in New 'York. The gentleman has
with him his only son, a child of some six years.
Yesterday morning, the child was taken out for a
walk by a nurse, and, on returning to the hotel,
was accosted by a Man, who asked the privilege of
taking "little Johnny down stairs to see his grand
mother." This request was granted. Tee child
was taken to `a cab' standing near at hand, into
-which he was suddenly thrown, the door closed, and
the coachman ordered to drive off; which he did in
haste. In the carriage were two ladies, thickly
veiled, and a man. It is -alleged that the carriage
was driven to Marketatreet ferry, and' that 'after
crossing the river the- party went as far as Haddon
field, where the cabman was dismissed. The gentle
man and his wife are well known in the city. At
present we refrain from giving the current stories in
regard to the cause of the affair. The husband, it
will suffice to say, was a naval officer,'a relative of
the rebel General Robert-Lee , and has already se
cured the services of Geo. M. Wharton as counsel.
TABERNACLE BAPTIST CliuttCll. Last
evening the fourth anniversary exercises of the
Young People's Association of the Tabernacle Bap
tist Church were held at the church, in presence
of a large number of persons. After prayer by Rev.
J.H. Castle, and the singing of a hymn, the annual
report of the association was read by the late secre
tary, Mr. Thomas 'Munston. The, exhibit `of the
condition of the association was quite flattering;
and testified the zeal and industry of the individual
members. It was stated that in one year over four
thousand pages of tracts were distributed.
The Association comprises nearly all the young
men and ladies of the church, whose chief design• in
thus organizing is to aid in missionary work. Al
ready they have accomplished appreciative results,
and the members inanifest commendable activity in
their labors. The treasurer's report showed that the
receipts had been such as 'to prevent any embarrass
ment in the finances of the Society.
After the reading of the report, addresses were de
livered by Rev. E C. Eddy, Hon. Jas. Pollock, and
George Cookman, Esq.
TEE SUPPLY OF ICE.—The present has
been one of the most remarkably mild. winters ever
known in the United States.l..'!:From Beaton to St.
Louis, everybody seems to be_horror-stricken at the
slim chance of procuring* ice enough for their mint
juleps and sherry cobblers, and the result is that the
price of ice runs high. and there is considerable ex
citement-in the market. This state of affairs is
likely to'make ice such a luxury that few besides
cotton speculators and Government contractors will
be able to indulge in it. During the present season,
not one -- cart-load of ice has been cut from the
Schuylkill and ponds in the vicinity of Philadel
phia. In some of the counties, the farmers .got a
good supply of ice during the last cold snap, but the
article was of a very.inferlor quality.
To BE REPEATED.—The concert which
took place last Thursday evening, in the Broadway
Methodist Episcopal Church, Camden, proved an
entire success, the chnich being crowded to suffoca
tion, and, at the request of vast numbers who were
unable to obtain admittance, the concert will be re
peated this evening. Those who wish to be present
and listen to the delightful and beautiful singing of
about one hundred and fifty well-trained children,
should not fail to go_ early. Professor Bruce, who
patriotic pieces, is a fine singer,
and well worth the price of , admission to hear.

Evun:"—ln nothing is this ort.ouoted -truism more
forcibly demonstrated than. in'ths.Pine AST!, and in
no department does it apply with as much force as
in that which preserves to Us' the forrn and features
of those we love.. We were especially impressed
with this in examining the superb sPecimeris of this
branch of art displayed by Messrs. BrOanbent & Co.,
at their splendid galleries, Nos. 91; 914;, L nd 916
Chestnut street. The pictures made by this,...ele

FINE QUALITY SPRING CLOTHING AT
MODERATE. PRICES.—The famous old house of
Messrs. C. Somers & Son, No. 625 Chestnut street,
under Jayne , a Hall, have excelled . themselves—and
everybody else, ot course—in their magnificent stock
of clothing now ready. , Their stock of fine fabrics,
in the piece to Beleet from, is also very superior;
and being among the largest operators in this de
partment, their prices are unusually moderate. We
advise our readers to give these gentlemen a call
before purchasing elsewhere. ~,
DOVNWARDS.—The tendency of gold is
now.decidedly downwards, ancL the tendency of W.
W. Alter stock of Coal, in hie, yard, Ninth street,

'Cause: His coal is - of the best and cleanest quality, he

The subscription to iltelnew five-twenty s'ex per cent.
loan. at. the office of the Government agent this city,
amounted to-day to a million and a quarter of dollars
.
certainly a very cheering fact, and which, coupled with
the growing rottenness of the Southern Staten, augurs
well for the speedy triumph of our cause. The sixes of
Ma advanced to 105%, with- an active demand- Go
vernmentz of all kinds advanced. The money market is
over-supplied at s@6per cent. With such an eacesi of
money as now exists,.it can scarcely figure above 5 per
cent—while it may fall below, as Governmei& offers
to take it at only ten dugs' notice.
Theconversions of legal tenders into five-twenty loan
reached $1,200,000 yesterday, at the office of Jay Co' okc,
subscription. agent. The amount for Monday. and Time ,
day of this week reached 82,000,000, and we learn that
the whole amount for ten days will foot up five millions.
With these large receipts, and those on temporary, de
posit with the sub treasuriee at New York ana Pitila

will have ample time to decide his future financial
Polley, and to rest from the heavy labors which the late
session of Congress imposed.
Notwithstanding the panic in gold, prices at the Stock
Exchange are very steady, which }Proves there is very
little, sympathy between bullion and stocks. Currency
will' affect the prices of them, however, and we hear
many lamentations about a fall ia 'the stock market, on
account of theeonversion of legal-tenders into Govern
ment bonds. People should not forget that, just in pro
portion as these bonds are absorbed for the purpose of
creating new banks, we will have a double issue of cur
rency for that amount. Government will again pay out
legal-tenders,'while the bank really founded upon them
will issue paper money up to ninety percent. of its capi

NEVER GET EXCITED.
BY TEE BARD Of TWEE!, EALT..
Let what is dark be lighted ;
Let what is wrong he. righted,
But never get excited, '
Whatever be the canes.
When mischief is . onspected,
Onvillatny danoted.
•Or faults muse be corrected.
First make a thoughtful pause_
Use due consideration,
And shun precipitation.
Whatever reformation.
You labor to fulfil.
This world may be a sad one,
In some respects a bad one.
Or, rather say; a mad one.
But gently treat it still.
Blume this world benighted,
Let not its faults be slighted,
But never get excited,
Whaiever the causes are
Recommend no change distressing,
For reform should be a blessing.
