In no State have the issues been more•close

The leader of the sympathizers is Colonel

`;south.. Be has been earnestly add honestly
Hopposed to the war, and has avoided no op
portunity to denounce all who are con

by such men as ISAAC TOUCET, who did more
than any otherdNorthern man; with the excep

A Union Railroad Depot.
It has always been a matter of surprise
to us that no effort has been made by the
different railway companies diverging from
Philadelphia to unite their accommodations,
and ,ferin one. general union, depOt.: It
would be ' difficult to imagine anything
more inconvenient than the system that now
exists. Each conipany seems to have selected
the most inconvenient location-that could
be. imagined, and as far distant from an
other depot as it was posSible to be: Thus,
a traveller from New York finds himself at
• his journey's end when he reaches Ken
sington or Walnut-street wharf. If his pro
gress is' to the West, he must be jaunted
over to West Philadelphia, ; if he desires the
glories of Washington, he Must be rumbled
to the extreme southwestern limit Of the
habitable city.- If any necessity existed for
this inconvenient system, it might be over
looked; but there is none that we have ever
Observed. Indeed; the necessity seems to
dethand a change. The depots On Broad
street have done more to retard the growth
of 'that beautiful avenue than any other
cause ; while one of the most thrifty, enter-.
Prising, and progressive sections of the city
is rendered unsightly and diaagreeable by
the line of the Reading Railroad. The same
May be said of the Baltimore Road, and of
the New York depot at Trenton. tlll of
these stations are in the centre of new and
flourishing communities, and until we are
more familiar with .steam - and loconiotives
they must always have an Unpleasant and
injurious effect upon _the neighborhoods
around their.
What is to be done ? We must have rail
roads, we must have depots, and because
a locomotive screams in
. the night or a
mother's heart beats high for the tumbling
boy as he plays over the sleepers, or an oc
'casional passer-by is suddenly slain, we are
not to have them abolished. All these mat
ters are questions of taste and care, and may
be met. The inconvenience of the whole
arrangement is what concerns us more espe
cially. - We, desire to see the railways that
:touch. Philadelphia converge it a given
point, some point. on the Schuylkill be
yond the present limit of dense popula
flop, so that the traveller from :the East
.
may cross a small platform and be hurried
.away to the West or the South. We are
glad that the subject is attracting '-atten- .
ton, and that a, - bill haS been presented to
the Legislature authorizing the - construCtion •
of a connecting railway and the erection of a
general depot.. As As we understand the bill, '
it Proposes tO lay a`single or double
(bsriil means let it be a donble track), eorip
mencing et some point of the,Trentonßail:: -,
road near the borough of Praidiford;froM.

Park, •and - making a junction with the

roads. In order to avoid the streets of
West Philadelphia; and the high banks of
the opposite Schuylkill, the streets are to be
tunnelled. It is thought that at least eight
railroads will meet at this d4pot, 'and make
- it the centre of their business. The effect
Would be, to benefit West Philadelphia,zive
an impetus to the westward progress Of' our
city, and compel the erection Of two or ihree
more bridges across the river, in order to
accommodate the transient trade and travel.
that
We"are not particularly anxious this
:bill should be .passed, but the interests of the
'city rdemand setae' action of the kind ; and
"there is .uo reason why it should not be
adopted. We do tot know that any sug

the Pennsylvania Central at a point near
the river, and . thus form the i junction.
It would be necessary to make another con.-
fleeting link with the Baltimore above Gray's
Ferry. We do not know where it is Pro
posed to make the grand d6.pot, • but it
should be as neat'ias possible to one of the
three great aVenues—Prime street, Market

will probably remain so for another genera
tion, When our grand-children find them

may change their d6pbt to suit themselves.

Special Despatches to 6 The Press.,,
WASHINGTON, March 30, 1963.
The Rebel Incursions in the Shenandoah
Valley.
The Shenandoah valley, from Front Royal to Ber
ryville, having new* yet been fully drained of its
agricultural supplies, like the other portions, may
account for the reported presence in that section of
General FITZ HUGH LEE, who was - said to be re
cently lurking about Front Royal, with his scouts
and pickets ranging down the BulliTtun Mountains.
They recently burned the temporary bridge with
which our ferces had replaced the Stone bridge over
Bull Run, destroyed during the first campaign.
There is no doubt that the rebel agents are collect-
ing grain and othcr supplies in Loudoun and Fau
quier counties.
The Rebel Army of the Rappahannock..
Deserters who have recently arrived speak of the
general good health of the troops comprising the
Army of the Rappahannock, notwithstanding the
coarseness and scarcity of their food. The informa
tion of these deserters 'is limited, owing to the
.ex
treme caution of the commanding officers in pre
venting one brigade from communicating with
another, as to their relative strength, position, etc.
Their impression is, however, that the army has
not been largely diminished, and that the places of
the old troops that have been withdrawn have been
partially supplied with new levies: The rebels are
still engaged in strengthening their earthworks all
along the line of the Ilanpahaonnclf., particular];
toward Port Royal,
An Indian Opinion of the Strength of the
Government.
In the interview to-day with the Vte chiefs, whose
tribe occupy a portion of Colorado Territory, the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs informed them that
if they created a disturbance with the whites a suffi
cient military force would be sent to put them down,
whereupon the head chief coolly expressed a doubt
whether the Gbvernment had the power to do so.
These Indians, though of , raying habits, claim the
ownership of large tracts of lands.
The Destruction of the Georgianna
Admiral DuroNT, in a despatch to the Navy De
partment, dated the 21st of March, attaches much
importance to the destruction of the large iron Eng
lieh steamer Georglanna,whieh, he says, was brought
over by a retired . British officer, and intended for the
rebel navy, to be officered in Charleston.
On the night of the liSth, she attempted to run into
Charleston through Maffit's Channel. The alarm
had beengiven by a yacht attached to the Wabash,
which fired into her, and the steamship Wissa
hickon, soon after perceiving her, opened such a
heavy fire upon her, that her commander hailed to
say that he surrendered. Upon this, the Wissa
hickon ceased firing; but the captain of the Geor
gianna, taking advantage thereof, pointed hia vessel
toward the shore, which was quite near, and suc
ceeded in running, her aground ; and all on board
escaped on the land side. The rebels had brought
,their guns.to the beach. Capt. DAvrs, being of the
opinion that the vessel could not be saved, de
termined to destroy her, which he did by setting her
on fire.
Major General Moker.
Major General HOOKER was in this city on busi
ness to-day, and returned to his headquarterq to
night.
The Payment of Troops.
The paymasters for troops in North and South
Carolina have been ordered to 'hold themselves in
readiness to, repair to their reSpective stations with
money for our soldiers in 'those - States. All of our
troops will soon be paid to the >let of March, eighty
millions of dollars being required for that purpose.
Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
A misapprehension exists as to the issue of letters
of marque and reprisal. The Navy Department has
nothing to do with the subject, Whieh belongs to
the State Department.

THE TINTON LEAGUE—SPEECHES OF NE.

W. HUNNICUTT, LATE OF SOUTII CAROLINA.—Lst
evening there was a large attendance of the mem
bers of the Union League, at their house, on Che'et
mit street, to hear an address which it had been
announced, would be delivered._by Mr. Arthstrong,
of LyComing county. Shoitly'after eight i o'olock,
that gentleman was introduced and delivered a
spirited speech; which, though short, created much
enthusiasm. He congratulated-rthe Leagne
opening, upon the magnificent' success which-
thus far marked their _organization, and glowingly
depicted its hiture prospects, which, with Careful
management and patriotic direction, would result,
in untold benefit to the State of Pennsylvania'
and to the city '
of Philadelphia. The presenticon
dition of the national affairs was then briefly
touched upon, and was viewed as full of hope and
promise for- every lover : of his country. Mr. Arm
strong considered- the pioblem of the national cur

went. When that' currency shall be equalized all
over the country, when the national notes shall go
current in all parts of the land, there will be a basis
of prosperity established in that' alone,- which will
make iteelf felt foT many years yet to come. Let
the people be educated to this sentiment; as it is the
true sentiment, and there will be no fears enter- 4
tensed for the success of any portion of the great sys
tem for crushing out this rebellion.' And in this con
nection, Mr. Armstrong alluded to the instrumen
tality of the UnionLeagueforthe disseminatioa.of a
FOLlDd_publie sentiment Mum-this and all other sub
jects 1 . 31 national interest' 'This-League has a work
to do, lie said, not onlyln the. city, but far beyond
its limits. As a central organization this League
can do what the minor associations in the country
cannot do.- You can spread before the people a cor
rect knowledge upon the important topics which at
at this time interest them SO highly. Let , there be
loyal pamphlets and loyal newspapers disseminated
among the people. Necessity requires it. He knew
of a New York Dembcratic newspaper .(the Day
Book) which had; in his district.of country, obtained
hundreds of readers. Howl The copies were sent
to the postmasters of the last Administration to dis
tribute :everywhere in the neighborhood. You
cannot overestimate the influence of the press.
It is a mighty power for good or for evil. The ene
mies of the Government are using it with great teal.
_Never. were there men better Organized than they
are now. They are endeavoring„ and he was sorry
to say they bad been partially successful, in creating
a strong, 'sentiment, not so inuch in favor of the De
mocraCy as against the GoVernmerit :
The people mean to do right. They always mean
to do right, and it is onlywhen they are misled by
wicked suggestions-(to Which, in their ignorance,
they can find no reply,) that they are arrayed on the
side of wrong. It is for such associations as these
to- furnish' the people,with that information neces
sary.
as a reply to, the acts of wicked politicians,
and 'he had no donlit that,;;in this particular, the
Union League would meet the expectations of its
friends. Mr. Armstrond thanked his hearers for their
attention, and concluded, when three cheers were
given in his honor.
At the conclusion of Mr. Armstrong's speech,
Rev. me
Jas W. Hunnicutt wasintroduced by Mr.

Gibbons as a "South Carolinian by birth; but it

Mr. Hnnnicutt was greeted with much'aPplauso,
after which he addressed.theMembers of the League
as-follows : I thank ~God, he said, that to-nightl

State many men who still have a lingering hope for
the Union, and who in their secret hearts cherish
some fond 'memories of its past glories. I have-al
ways been a Democrat. 'I was "a Democrat, because
from my infancyl was taught to belieVethat Demo

That empire would no longer depend upon the North
for its supplies. The demagogues taught the people
that the interests of the North and South were at
variance: . It was represented that the North would
soon break down Unleas :they have the South as 'a
'feeder.. The !North. could;. not carry on the war. -
The South was inexhaustible in her resources, and
could forever carry on the. war. They believed that
cotton was king, and to that king the North, as well
'as the European Governments,- must bow down in
respectful worship. Where now is their cotton?
It is being burnt - all over the South. Look ho*
everything else is being - wasted. We have been
told that the artiole of boots is now sellingat $7? per
pair. Does this look more like:thesubjugation of the
North than it does Ofthe South? In my opinion, the
rebellion is now being played out. [Applause.). And
no better evidence is 'needed than.the . circumstance
,that I bought, in the city of Washington, a suit of
clothes that in Richriond would have cost three hun

The speaker' alluded , te the- peace party of the
North. He would call no one- a Copperhead.. He
would speak plainly., He had heard* before the war
that Virginia ought to secede, unless some com
promise were presented. <The compromise talk, was
indulged in at the very time thatDsvisand his endue
were preparing forievolution, and declaring unmis
takably-that the South would never reunite-with
the North. What' iblly for - a- man to talk about
bringing back the South by "compromise! What.

land with blood,' and filled Millions of-graves? Is
there a - heartio base as to desire such a thing, if it .
were - possible? When this rebellion is - crushed—as
it will be—he wanted-the:leaders 'of the rebellion

had heard in the North, time after time, men—even
soldiers—expresi themselves . that this was a negro
war.. But the battle" is not now whether the
negro shall -, be ' , free; but- whether white men
shall bemade slaves. , [Applause.] -
He hoped.that, whatever,lre its objects, this war
should go , onlor seventy yeans.rather than we should

to commis:that his opinions on slavery had greatly

the rebels. If the time should eveecomewhen the
civil war should he conducted' on Pennsylvita is soil;
the peace men of fo•day wilt greatly regret their
course. Those to-day who talk about peace and
high taxes are too mean to live in a republican form
of -government. For himself, he had no higher
ambition limn to live glad die a rreeman, wader the
stars and strives of his country. He related an epi
sode. which he had witnessed in the city-of Frede
ricksburg. Same months ago a citizen named Lacy,
who owned negroes worth 00,000, was presenluat

"take away Hist flag," referring to the Star Span

The madness of the rebellion would not have been
attempted, were it not for the hope- of an easy con
quest. Therefore, thntight. the :speaker, the war

carrying six guns, under the corn mandibf Acting Vo

rived off the navy yard yesterday morning. The Mas

and eittleel from New York about month since,
with provisions, &c., for the blockading. fleet. The

rebel prisoners, the latter haying been taken from off
board the New Ironsides, Com. Thomas Turner.
She has also on board a number of Eirglieh sailors,
taken on board prizes. • The Massachusetts brings
no news of importance.
It was from the PeterhofF that the report got
adrift, that Oh:m.101ton was at last attacked, and on
the night of the24th, whilst some eleven miles from
the spot, "bombs were seen flying andhursting, and
the report of ordnance was heard." Though most I
unwilling to blast the fond hopes of ow-loyal readers,
by doubting Ii justice of the - inference drawn from
these facts, we are compelled to remark that the
above spectacle does not warrant the belief that the.
great attack has yet commenced, as the news,
is not conflimed by the Massachusetts. Two naval
officers of very high rank agree with us in the belief'
that the city had not been attackeff , at that time. Ia
the first place they state as each shot from a Moni
tor costs the Government no inconsiderable sum for
the ammunition, it is not likely that they would be
sent into a harbor as dangerous acithat of Charleston,
to waste powder and ball, and, therefore, mono*, in
firing at sand batteries in the dark: secondly,
even if they were, the 15-ineb and 11-inch guns
are not bombs, and at the distance at which they ex
pc ct to lie from the batteries the transit of the.abells,
at pointblank range, through the air, would be
much too, short to justify the term " flying," and
this latter positiOn is streng.thed by reflecting that if
the Monitors went in at night they coutclitake ad
vantage of the darkness, for no other pfmpose than
to be more invisible and harder to hit, in which
casethey would run even closer to thoworks than
in daylight, and the shell's would not be seen at all
till they had burst.
One of the authorities mentioneA above—a man
who, of all others,,ismost likely to know, if " expe
rientia docet" is a treism—believes, that the shells
were engaged in a t ?. destruction of the Georgians.
The other, no less reliable source is pretty sure the.
affair could not have come off, on the often-repeat.
ed and well-known certain-little-matters-notquite
ready-yet-for-celtain-purposeal principle. So that,
unpleasant though it, be to ohs-high. pressure loyalty,
the only rational deduction is that the attack is not,
made
- quite yet, or, rather we have had no informa-.
tion of it. The shells tefeared to were mortar shells,
in all human probability, and miy,have tiqen„:"as we,
have said, destroying the 'Georgiana, de—may not.
If one would follow the little cloud no bigger than,
a man's hand through the horizon until, it gathers .
and breaks over Charleston, the effort is likely to
meet with more success if the eyea, are turned on
Yortrees,Monroe and Port Boya3,than. on Charles.
ton at present,
- At the risk of the charge of a desultory style we
will state a few pieces of fnformation obtained in the
manner 'so well described -by the word gleaned. In
o'reference to the report of our special : correspondent,
at Hilton Head, in yesterday's paper, we begin ;Atli
- the means of defence Of the Monitors agP:rist board
ing, a topic which 3 1', all the more ' t :nardonsble in this
coPPec tit '7, since to every thinking man and well
'Wisher to.'the Government the subject is one of in
terest. It has been said that, granting that the mo
nitors are impenetrable, theie is no way to prevent
men boarding in forlorn hopes, and at least remain
ing on the decks unhurt; and by keeping on the op
posite side of the turret from the ports, being ready to
give any assistance to a vessel which would risk run
ning alongside, or-if this was impossible—remain
ing disagreeable and uninvited guests on one of our
vessels. This is not the fact. There are inven
tions of Captain Ericcson's called " deck scrapers,"
which (were they generally understood) any insu
rance office would warrant to clear all outsiders in
less time- than that aquatic and domestic fowl, a
duck, could vibrate her caudal extremity three times
on emerging from her native element: It would be
wrong to explain the nature of these machines ; suf
fice it to say that some of the most remarkable
astonishment and skedaddling may be looked for on
the part any body of men who attempt to " try it
on." In addition to these are grenades which ne
ver fail, and are justly considered, unhealthy when
anywhere in the - vicinity. But apart from these,
as the monitors will consort with each other, - a
friendly discharge of 300 one-pound grape over each
other will brush away any annoying human flies
upon the disturbed . one. The discharge, of these
missies upon the iron decks, it is unnecessary to say,
infiiete no injury on-the vessel.
MASS MEETING OF COLORED PEOPLE.—
A mass meeting of colored people; to take action to
fill the 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment, was
held last evening, at Franklin Hall. The building
'was filled to its utmost capacity,and the proceedings
of the meeting were, conducted m a quiet and order, -
ly manner. The 'Meting was organized by calling
.to the chair the Rev. Stephen Smith.
Professor Green, colored, then addressed', the.
meeting, and said the colored people of Pennsylvania
need no longer be in doubt as to whether the United
States will accept black regiments. One State at
-least has power to do so, and that is the noble old
Bay .State.- Governor Andrew has power 'kr or
ganize, at :least one 'black regiment. The question
now- is, whether the colored men shall rally, or
whether it shall be thrown in our teeth, what has
already gone forth, that the colored people have
neither genius nor bravery to display in the present
war. The speaker then read extracts from several
Boston papers, showing, the progitess of colored en
listments, and how those in camp were provided for.
He concluded by reading a preamble and resolution
endorsing the action of Massachusetts, the first
State to recognize the services of the colored man.
J. Miller McKim, Esq., took the floor and made a
few remarks on the resolutions. He said he had it
- from high source that colored enlistments for Penn
sylvania had not yet been authorized, although plans
for the same were now maturing, of which due no
tice would be given. This fact, he contended, how
ever, should not interfere with the colored people
and keep them from enlisting. They should endea
vor to fill up the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, and
when authority for colored enlistments is granted in
Pennsylvania, then Philadelphia can raise her bri
gade. One-half the regiment now at Reedville, in
Massachusetts, was recruited in this State, where
they also procured their lieutenant colonel and one
captain.
A colored man in the audience arose, and made a
few very sensible remarks, which were received
with loud applause. He stated that the colored
people Were a forgiving race, and, although they, had
been deprived of their rights, yet he knew they were
willing to forget all, and rally around their country's
flag at that moment when their services were most
needed.
David Bustell, colored, next addressed the meet
ing. He thought that the colored people had no
rights whatever under the Constitution of Pennsyl
vania. They have no rights,and . the Governthent
dos'ltt ipean to give them rigts. He denounced, in
strong terms, the sentiments as uttered by Mr. Me-
, .
Professor Green took an 'opposite view. He
thought that an opportunity was now offered for
the black man to - show himself, and if he stands
back it Will give his enemies a chance to laugh and
criticise his patriotism and bravery. Are we going
to, llow this sycophant Democratic element to frt.
intPh over us? •
Robert Purvis next made a stirring address, in
which he paid a high compliment to Secretary Se
ward, who; he said , had proclaimed before the whole
world that some of the most valuable information
obtained by .our generals was through the negro.
He also entertained, at a public supper, the repre
sentative of the Haytien Government. [Three cheers.
were here given for Secretary Seward.] -
A number of other speeches were made, after which
the meeting adjourned.
TEE SOLDIERS' READING ROOM—This
evening there will be a grand entertainment, at the
Soldiers' Reading Room, in Twentieth street, be
tween Market and Chestnut streets. • The entertain
ment is gotten up solely for the amusement of the
- convalescent soldiers in the various hospitals, and
will consist of music, recitations, &A. Ex-Governor
Pollock will, it is expected, be present upon the or-.
casion. -The soldiers' reading room has become
quite an institution, although its Treat merits are
not publicly known. It is generally under the
management of ladies, and everything is conducted
with a view to the comfort and amusement of the,
soldiers, hundreds or whom while away many a
pleasant hour at this useful establishment. A large
library has been••established, and the place is daily
supplied with all the principal loyal newspapers. A
smoking and dining room - is also attached to the
building. In the latter department the soldiers can
obtain a good+substantiar Weal at - first cost. This is
_intended for those who come from hospitals distant
from the institution, and WV() do not wish to return
until the latest hour. The Soldfera , Reading Room
'of Philadelphia will no doubt be as gratefully re
membered by, our brave volunteers as are our re
freshment saloons.

have been Germans. So. thought Mr. Amer

the management of these two men. the German
Opera was introduced to Pbilhdelpleia, the result

FINANCIAL AND IC.DMIIIERCIAL,
THE MONEY MARKET.
Pri7Lal:lElaqtrA., Narch 30.
From the excitement and activity in the Gold market,
and the general desire to invest in toe precious article,
we may fairly presume that a new season of speculation
is commenced. The great poiht, however, is, that
everybody will have to carry -their own -gold, and pay
the cash for it, and hence the speculation will he some
what legitimate. There will be no more hazardous time
operations to swell the business of the street to an enor
mous and unwarrantable bulk, and allowing any one
who could command a few hundred dollars to appear
sad deal in. thonsan ds. bill has been introduced. into
our Legislature similar to that lately passed by the New
York House, which, ifpassed, will bring a large amount
of gold, now held by banks and bankers, into the mar
ket. The short interest is very large, and their demands
are helping the excitement,
The conversions of the' legal tenders into the five
twenty sixes amounted to a million and a quarter to-day
at the office of the agency, No. 114 South Third street.
Who can say the Government is lacking supporters ?
Gold fluctuated from 143 to 14S and. back to 145, closing
at 146N®147. Greenbacks cling to the yellow boys with
remarkable tenacity. Money looks easy, lgffi being the
ruling flg,tties. Govermnents advanced to-day, the seven
thirties selling-34 better.
The stock market was more active, and recovered
somewhat from the depression of last week. Alt kinds
of Government securities 'were in demand; 1881 sixes

LECTURE BY THE REV. E. W. RUTTER.—
In a notice of the lecture, which is to be given at
hrusicalyund Ball, in the popular course now in
progress' in aid of the Lutheran Board of Publics,
tion, we inadvertently stated that it would be de
livered-on Thurrsday evening cif the present week.
We Mould have stated that it wo-ald be delivered on
Vinraday evening,. April 9th. Thy:lecture will have'
for its subliect," The City of Washington and its ,
Palle Men," whickin the hands of its gifted: au
thorvwill no dbubtpiave to be a theme of more than
usual-interest.
THE AMEATCM; PiEfEENOLOGTOAL JOUE
inviZentteration to the annonncenaent, in
another column', of thn Phrenological Journal, for
April, p - ahlished by Fosvit.r& Wells, Newyork, and
for sale in this, city by Professor John L. Capen,
practical phrenologiati No: 922 Chestnut street. The
number for April, of this , valuable publication, is
one of unusual envelop - oe, and contains among, other
readable and instructive articles, portraits, and
" charactero" of Mr. Charles W. Stafford, inventor
of _the projectile, and of the Rev. Alexander Clark,
poet and preacher.
MiLLMERY OPENING.—The first - grand
•' Millinery Opening" °lithe Season Will take place at
the popular old Milinery establishment oil Diessrs,
Wood & Cary ; No. 725 Chestnut street, on Thursday,
April 25. The preparations which these gentlemen
have made to render this-the greatest "opening" of
Bonnets ;ever witnessed in Philadelphia, are such as
the hundreds of the beauty and fashion of our city,
who will that day throng their splendid store, will
appreciate. In addition to the display of their own.
original styles—mansof- which we are sure will' be
greatly admired—they will also exhibit for inspec
tion a beautiful line of French Bonnets of their own
importation.
TET,E STAFF OF LlFE.—Those of our read
ers who know the value of good bread will thank us
for advising them to patronize the pinprietors of the
old grocery house of C. H. Mattson, Arch and Tenth
streets. They have, at ail timesi in store the best
brands of Wheat Flour, made fresh every week - for
their own sales.
TEE BRETTO BROTITERS.—The most ex
traordinary first appearance yet made in our city,
will take place at the. Concert on. Tuesday, March
31st—that of the Bretto Children—Bernard aged
13, Emil 11, and Richard 6. Emil and Bernard are
proficients and masters on - that most - difficult instru
ment, the violin, playing with ease the most diffi
cult compositions of Vieuxtemps, deßeriot, Spohr.
The tone and bowing of Emil are Perfectly superb,
and their performances not only display wonderful
vigor of native genes, but also,how admirably and
carefully that genius has been taught. Richard, the
little cornet-player,- is a perfect marvel of a prodigy.
Only six years of age, he fills the zoom.with a-vo
lume of tone worthy of- Koenig or Schreiber. The
little fellow is also a composer, and will play a piece
of , his own composition. To give‘ - an idea of his
scope of brain, we would also cite him as an admi
rable hand at theehess-board. New York audiences
have been roused to an unwonted pitch-of enthusi
asm by the- performances of these• most wonderful
children. Those of our citizens who would enjoy
an unexampled musical treat should be there on
Tuesday next.
Couuns.—The administration of medici
nal preparations in the form of a lozenge, is of all
modes the most eligible and convenient, more espe
cially as , regards a Cough Remedy. "Braem , s Brow
dual Troches," or Cough Lozenges, allay irritation.
which induces coughing, giving instant relief in
Bronchitis, Hoarseness, Influenza, and Consumptive
and Asthmatic complaints.
THE LAW OF LIBEL :
You may say certain spades are black,
And you may call a spade a spade,
But if you call a quack a quack,
By law of libel you are flayed.
The Ace of Spades you term an Ace,
No legal terrors then you brave,
But 'tis with cards alone the case,
That you may call the knive a knave
The truth, it appears from recent decisions, is not
a vindication from the charge of libel ;*but we say
the truth in this particular, and have no fear of John
Doe or Richard Roe, when we declare that the place
to buy ready-made clothing is at Charles Stokes
Co.'s, under the Continental.
THE PITHWE OF WALES OOHING TO PM . -
LADELPHIA.—There is a rumor atloatthat the Prince
of Wales and his newly-married bride design pay
ing a visit to the. United States. It is well known
that the Prince often refers, with pleasure, to his
visit here in 1860. This fact has probably given rise
to the report in question ; and the rumor has been
strengthened, doubtless, by the circumstance that
the Prince has taken an immense interest in the
iron-clad vests made at the Biown-Stone Clothing
Hall of Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 601 and 605 Chest
nut street, above Sixth. These vests render their
wearers invulnerable.
CHARITY, sayetlithe good book, ' coverall
a multitude of sins;" charity, sayeth the 'world,
" begins at home." To be able to practice charity
at home and abroad, economy is e . ssential , and those
are economical who procure their clothing only of
Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street, where the
„
finest stock of Spring goods in the country is now
On hand, and selling at war prices.
