Frederic Edwin Church, one of the best of Ameri can lanscape painters, who is a fine colorist as well as frithful copyist of nature, may be considered as legitimate successor of Thomas Cole, whose pupil it wan his advantage to have been. He is more poeti cal, more imaginative than his master, wlio; by the way, worked in this city, forty years ago, literally for his -bre ad, painting little pictures lor small prices, and filling.up his time, (hir. Noble, his biographer tells us,) by “ornamenting with figures, views, birds, and various articles, such as bellows, brushes, and : Japan-ware.” . Mr. Church’s career, has been less chequered. Ten years ago, in his twenty-seven th year, Mr. Church went on an art pilgrimage to South America, and, on his return, hia pictures showed how closely he had studied the gieftt mistress,-Nature. No artist has painted tropical scenery half so well. This he showed by > various works, chief among which is “ The Heart of the Andes,”..'painted after his second visit to South America, ih f 1857, and exhibited in this city some three or four years ago. In 1857, Mr. Cfiurch also painted, what has given him high reputation in Europe, a view -of,Niagara from the Canadian side; taken, in fact, from Table Rock. It is a view which no artißt can exactly imi tate,- seeing that Table Rock is now of the past. This yiewoftlte Great or Horseshoe Fall has been exhibited in Philadelphia, and is known to those who have not seen the original by the cbromo-litho graphic print of it, executed by Mr. Risden, of Lon don.' The/originah painting is. the,property of .Mr. Johnson, of New York. A companion-picture, painted last year, carries out Mr. Church’s ideaof showing to the world—non-. travelled as«wcH travelled—the greatest wonder of this Western Continent. He has on view, at W. P. Hazard’s, 724 Chestnut street, his second picture of Niagara,- from under the fall—that is, as nearly un der'it as he could proceed in the little Maid of the Mist steamer, now destroyed. The view takes in, ■from the left, just where the Tallis broken by Goat. Island, and terminates, at the right, where the. inner bend of the horseshoe commences. The vtower, which seems to overhang “ the hell of waters,” is shown, of course; but the great point in the picture is.thefaU itself, in varied tints from shadowy gray to ocean green, and its precipitous drop into the abyss far below./ This is reality, and poetry as well. Of this fine painting, the property of Marshall O. Roberts, Esq., New York, a companion "engraving, in chromo-lithography, iB now being executed in London by Mr. Risden. At Mr. Hazard's is-aisb: to be seen a wonderfully fine engraving of the first great work that may be said to have given recognized reputation to its au thor. “|Thc Heart of the Andes,” with itfl great, variety of color, is jv picture to which one could scarcely hope the burin could ever do justice. The bright tints and sun-gleams of the tropics, so charm ingly given in this painting, are not easily simulated by the graver, and few but artists can comprehend the difficulty of representing these glo wing hues on paper in plain blackand white. The example Of Turner’s pictures does not avail here; for in' many .cases the engraver really had to give body to what the painter had merely indicatedf But Mr. Church unites the greatest breadth' with the utmost pre-Raphaelite ac curacy of detail; In the picture we refer to, the foreground exhibits a wild luxuriance of vegetation, -painted with a delicate would have de lighted Holman Hunt or Millais, whereas, one the mighty Andes, sublime in the shadowy gran deur that illustrates its-vaßtness-, looms out in the distance a stupendous back-ground, such as mere fancy never could have invented; “Its head in wintry grandeur towers, And whitens with eternal si eet, While Summer, in a vale of flowers, Lies sleeping, rosy at its feet.”' The engraver who has -translated “The Heart of the Andes,”' in this admirable- manner, ia William Forrest, foremost among the : artists of Scotland. He was- three yearß occupied upon this one plate, and we have heard that his labors averaged twelve hours aUay,—so that averaging.-each year’s work at three hundred-days,; the time devoted to this en graving was close on 11,000- hours* If the work had been* performed by machinery and; by stipple,: or dot work, aij&engraving of -the same: size might have been with- comr>araU.ve_ nina_ But-thpnr */£6e^.sure,,it ; would have been merely ashowy, unafti'sfieal affair, instead of being, As it is, the'finest* iircc engraving of a landscape that modern art has produced. ‘ On. a careful exami-• nation with a magnifying glasswe- notice only two deviations from this high style-of art. In-the fore- where, the water’s precipitous descent over a.tall pile'of r6cks makes a cascade, the smoke-like Bpray is represented by-stipple,;—the faetr being that lines .could not express'it, and that, in "the dots really are brokeri lines. Again, on the top of the extreme lefr, is a-Bmall-patch of clear sky, and on examination, leads us to think ; ;that,i perhaps, its lines; were .ruled in by the. machine,—but; of this we have'some doubt. The has reproduced the painting, and so faith-, 'fully that sometimes, snatching-a grace beyond the rules of art, almost convey&theidba of the artist’s color. -We.; especially see*this-in the foreground of ..the extfems : right, where .flowers,, ferns,. and grasses,, almost seem to glow-wit-k.their native hues,—in the. reposes,—in the bright parts; surrounding-ithe- theway-aide, and in the gray obscurity, of the distant hills. Mr. W. Forrest haß so welL-executed this plate that he is engaged to engrave,-as a-companion print, another of-Mr. Church’s South. American We I have only to add that Mr. John McClure, of New ! York,-is the■■pubudeher- of “The Heart of the 1 Andes,” and that it. may be subscribed for at W. P. Hazai;d’_s;;724 Cheßtmit street, where specimens of the engraving are-on view. New Books. Kake O’DosfNEL’s -Po-ems.—ln a booklet, rather than a book, 0ff73.. pages, 24m0.,we here have some poetic effusions, of; a very young man, who possesses no small ability, without, aB yet, practically know ing how to employ it. He has the fault, which time will tone down, of b&ng too ambitious. He some times aims at being metaphysical and philosophical,: which is as if a boy should; seek to run before he can walk. He. is fond of stilted language. He is not careful in his rhymes; for example, when he putß lull-as a corresponding sound to bar carol; towns to bounds;, curb to barb; bled to made; ponderesl to tenderest -ydawn to gone, and so on. What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well; and he who writes rhymed verse should have none but good rhymes, the finding which is the easiest part of versification. The principal'poem here, “The Song of Iron,” is thoughtful and true, albeit somewhat spun out. To our own taste, however, the simplest stanzas here are the best. , Mr. O’Donnel shows us, in his “Par radiseAlley,” what he "could do in a mirthful vein if he would only condescend to dig such an ore. The best poem here is “ The Childsurely, a lovely portrait/Here is a little gem which poets who have won fame might be proud to claim: . g GO, DEAREST, GO, :■ Go, dearesti go: I cannot chido, but linger i Like some wild passion on an earnest song, ' The melting music of a lovelorn singer: Go, dearest, go; but do not tarry long. - 5 Go, tho : the rosy hours are pale without thee, I Absent from thee the night is drear and dark, j When all is heaVcn within thee and about thee, / , And hope sings cheerly as the morning lark. Go, dearest, go ; hut if khou hear’st a calling . . Low in thy gentlo heart, a dove-like song, Come to me, come; the silent tears are falling: Go, dearest, go; but do not tarry long. School-Books.— Barnes & Burr, New York pub’ lishers, have a well-merited reputation for their su perior school-bookß. Their most recent issues are “Practical Arithmetic: embracing the Science and of Numbers,” by Professor Charles Davies, of Columbia. College, N.Y., an authorwho, /not alone ; in the higher mathematics," but in his arithmetical: series for schools and academies, has done more than perhaps any other scientific writer to make the science of numbers plain and practical to youth. The present volume, in which the unit 1 is regarded as .the base of every number, completes the series, and is at once scientific .and Another useful volume, by A3phonso Wood, Princi-" pal of the Female Academy, Brooklyn, and author of a popular “ Class Book of Botany,” is entitled “Leaves and Flowers; or, Object Lessons in Bo tany : with a Flora.” This, volume has .665 illustra tions, and is intended for beginners Jn Academies and Public Seliools. Nothing can be clearer than the' information conveyed in'this book, which is largely owing ;to the engraved representations of the objects described, and there ds scarcely any science more worthy of being thus brought home, as it were, to the intellect of young and oia* The Flora is astonishingly complete, for the space it oc cupies. The difficulty of the science in its nomencla ture, composed from dead and.living languages, and including a .vast number of difficult and many sylla bled words. „ However, this nomenclature is framed upon such a very simple system, that any one hav ing even a moderate acquaintance with Latin and Greek can readily comprehend it. The difficulty really is rather to the eye than to the mind. Arbitrary Arrests ik Tins South.— Mr. R. S. Tharin,.a native of Charleston, for thirty years a resident in the Cotton States, and unpopular there, since the war broke out, as an Alabama "Unionist, has puthiß experiences into a small volume pub lished by J. Bradburn, .New York. He was former ly law P&itner of.the notorious Mr. Yancey, and was persecuted, tried, and punished in Alabama be cause of his fidelity to the Unions Unfortunately, his book is not well.written,And his account of what he suffered is painful rather than interesting. Victor Hugo’s Waterloo.— One of the most striking episodes in “ Les Misdrables,” is the bril liant account /of the Battle of Waterloo. Mr. J. Bradburn, a New York publisher, has separated this from the text; and produced it in 16mo. form. It oc cupies 76 pageß, and. iB well worth being read and studied, as a French view of a very memorable event that changed the destinies of Europe. Dr. Junkin’s Pouti oal Fallacies.— The Kov. Geore Junltinj' a Pennsylvanian man, President of Washington College, Lexington, Va., was a Union ist when, in April, 1861, the students and some of, the faculty hoisted a Southern flag upon the college building, and immediately resigned the office which he had there held for twelve years, and returned to his native State. He has since employed himself in writing a book to expose the . political fallacies, whether false assumptions or sophistical reasons, that have : brought;on this civil war.‘ Dr. Junkin' does hot argue closely,' but he has great command of historical facts. Writing for the many, he wisely uses the plainest,-which is also'the most forBible r language, and his pages are crowded'with illustra tions. The Doctor has hopes that the Union maybe* restored—he repudiates the term “reconstruction”’ as applied to it—and even anticipates that “ all the* nations of the world may yet form one grand Repub lic under the stars'and stripeß.” Indeed, w'e may almost take for'granted that ere another century has passed Republicanism will be the general rule, and Monarchy the exception.

General Butler was tendered, a grand reception, at the New York Academy of Music, on’ Thursday evening, by the members and friendH of the Union League of that city. The tremendous auditorium was densely crowded with both ladies and gentle men, and the greatest enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed during the evening;. After thanking Mayor Opdyke and the members of the Union League for the honor conferred in tendering him a public reception of such magnifi cence, General Butler proceeded to review the his tory of the rise and progress of the rebellion at some length. We are sorry that our limited space will not permit us to reproduce the whole speech for the readers of The Tress, but we are gratified to present the salient points of the address this morning: ,WHY\GEN. butler sustains the government. I sm an old Andrew Jackson Democrat of tweutv years standing [Applause and three cheers for the old hero of New Orleans. 1 And so far as I. know I have never swerved from his teachings. [Applause. ] Up to the time when disunion took place I went as far as the far therest in support of the constitutional rights of the -South’, however bitter or* distasteful to me were the obli gations which my fathers assumed for me in the compro mues of the. Constitution. They made them all. and it was not for meto reject thebitter. - X took them all. [Ap plause.] Fellow Democrats, I took every one because they were constituted obligations [applaise], and taking each and all, I stood by the South and Southern rights nnderthe Constitution, until I advanced and looked inlo the pit of disunion, and, not ltkingthe prospect, quietly Withdrew. [Laughterand applause.] We went apart from that hour, and we are forever apart. You may judge of>this when I say that on the 2Sth of December, 1860, I shook bands on terms of friendship with Jefferson Davis, and on the 2Sth of Do:embeivlBt>2, I had the plea sure of reading his proclamation that I was to be hung at sight [Laughter and applause.] And now, my friends, if you will allow me this .line ofthought a moment, as we come up to the point of time when these men laid down their constitutional obliga tions, I will inquire what were mv rights and what were theirs? At that hour they repudiated the Constitu tion of the United States by solemn vote, under the forms oflaw, in solemn convention.- And not only that, but they took arms in. their hands and undertook by force to rend from under the Constitution what seemed to them the faiiest portion iof the heritage which ray fathers had given to me and to my children as a rich le gacy : and when they did that I concluded, from every fact, that they had derogated and forfeited every consti tutional right, and had relieved me of every constitu tional obligation to them. [Loud and continued ap plause.] And when I was called upon to say what should be my action in regard to slavery, I was left to tlie natural instincts of my heart, as prompted by a Chris- . tian education in" New England—rApplause]—and .I dealt with it accordingly, for I was no longer bound by , constitutional obligations. [Applause.] Then I under take to claim, respectfully, but earnestly, jbat the same sense of duty to my constitutional obligations, and to the rights of the States, which require me, so long as they remain loyal, to support the system of slavery—that same sense of duty and of right; T say, after they had gone out from under the ConttHution, caused me to fol low the dictates of my own conscience, untrammelled ss I had been heretofore. [Applause.] And so, my friends, however misjudging I may have been—and I speak to my old Democratic fiiends—l claim that we went along step by step together up to that point, and we shall still go along step by step. If the sacred obli gations that bound us together had not been broken, I would not thus have been left to follow the dictates of God’s law and ofhumanity. [Loud applause ] : THE UNION—BUT NOT AS IT WAS. And now, my friends, I do not know but that I shall commit some heresy; blit as a Democrat, and as an Au drew Jackson Democrat, : I say that 1 am not for the Union as it was. [Loud cheers. ] I have the honor to say,' as a Democrat, and an Andrew Jackson Democrat, that lam not far the Union to he again as it was. Un derstand me. I was fortheUnion as it was, because I saw, or thought 1 saw, in the future the troubles which have hurst upon us? but, having undergone those trou bles, having spent all the blood and treasure, I do not like to go .back again and be ‘‘cheek by. Jowl” as.we Were before with South. Carolina, if I can help it. [Cheers. ] Let no man misunderstand me? and I repeat it, lest it might be misunderstood, I do not mean to give up a single inch of the soil of South Carolina. If I had been alive at that time, and had the position and the ability, I would have dealt with South Carolina as Jack son did, and.kept her in.at all hazards. Butnow&he has gone out? and I will take care that when she comes in again she will come in better behaved. [Laughteraud eheers. ] I will take care that she shall be no longer the firebrand of the .Union? ay, that she shall enjoy, what her people never yet have enjoyed, theblessings of a re publican form of government. [Cheers. ] Therefore, in tha.tview, lam not for the reconstruction of the Union beiliei'r Itr was good enough if it had - been- The old house vjas good enough for me; hut as they ■have milled down the earli/ 'parts I 'propose, whernoe rebuild it+to build it vrpvnth all the madei'n improve nteiiis. [Enthusiastic applause.] . CONFISCATION AND-COLONIZATION. The Israelites took possession of the land of Canaan, which they got from alien enemies. Hasit not been held: from the beginning of the world down io. this day that the whole property of alien enemies belongs to the con queror, and that it. is at his mercy and at his clemency what shall be done •with it ?. For one, I would takbdhe property of the rebels and give part of it to. the loyal *, man at the South,, enough to make lam as well,' dr as nearly well, as he was before ? and I would take- tkei rest of it and distribute it among the volunteer-soldiers who have gone to .support the Government. [Bravo, bravo. ] And. so far as I know tlieaa, if we shall settle South Carolina with, them,.: I shall be quite'willing to receive, her.back into the Union in. the course ot-'&few years. [Applause. 1' ' WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE SLAVES-?- - That leads us to deal with another proposition—what shall be.done.with the slaves Z Here, again, tke-laws of war, dealing with, that species of-property,.hfuve- long . since settled themselves with clearness and.exactness. It is at the band of'the conqueror—of the Government which has maintained or extended its jurisdiction over, the territory—to deal with those slaves as it pleases; to free them or not, as tliat Govemment chooses,. >" It is not • for the conque2ed to make terms, or to send their-friends to make terras on that question. [Laughter and ap plause.] Another difficultywhich seems toAroublesorae of my old Democratic friends is the question of arming the negro slaves.lf these- Confederate Sfc&tes'are alien' .enemies, is there any objection ' that you. knosr of—and if so, shite it—to armingoneportion of thatforeign coun try aga.i ust the other?* [No.'uo.O Suppose we were at wav with England, who here would get up-in New York and say w.e must not arm the Irish, lest: they should, hurt somebody ? [Laughter and applause]] Again: there is no law,either of war, or of nations, Or of'go vernraental action, that I'know of which-prevents a country arming any portiou of its citizens or iijf subjects for the defence of that portion or of any ocher? *= WILL THE NEGROES EIGHT ? V There is one question which I p.m, very-often asked, and I will answer it here once for ail—will the negroes fight? On that subject I have no personal experience, because I left the Department of the-Snlf before they were fairly brought into action. But they did fight under Jackson at Chalmette. Let Napoleon 111. answer it, who' has hired them to do what the veterans of the Crimea could not .do—whip the Mexicans, [Laughter.] Let the veterans of Napoleon 1.,' who, under his brother-in law Le Clerc, where whipped out of St. Domingo.by them, say whether they will fight or not. [Applause.] What has been'the demoralizing effect on them of con tact with the white man I know not; but I cannot-forget that they and their fathers would not have been slaves . il they.had not been captiveaof war in their own. country, : : made so in hand-to-hand fights among the several chiefs. That shows that they would fight at some time. If you want to know any more about it I can only advise you to try them. ' HIS RULE IN NEW ORLEANS. When I left the Department of the Gulf 1 sat down and deliberately putin the form of an ■ address to the people of that department the executive acts I had done, and I said to them, “ you know I have douothese things. 5 ’ I have now waited mure than three months, and i have yet to hear a denial from that department that these things were done. 1 [Cheers.] To.thaf 1 can point as a justification of your (the Mayor’s 1 too Haltering eulogy, • and as an answer to every- slander. and every calumny uttered against me. The ladies of New Orleans know . whether they were safe under my administration of the government of that city. Has anyone of them ever said she was not? The men of New Orleans know whether life and property were safe. Has any man ever said they were not ? The poor of New Orleans know whether they ivereftd upon the -moans taken from the rich rebels. Has any man denied that? [Cheers.] To that record I. point. It may be the ouly answer that I shall over make to the calumnies that have been uttered against nie and inine. [Cheers.] PROGRESS OF OUR ARMS. I desire to' say a single word on another subject—on what are the prospects of this war. It will do you no good to give my opinion, simply because it would he very ’mush like the opinion of another man; but I will show. you.a reason for the faith that is in me that this war is : progressing to a successful termination. Compare the ■state of the country as it was on, the lst of January, 1863, with its state on the Ist of January,. 1862, and tell me if progress has not been made?- On thelst of January, ISS2, .the Union arms’ held no considerable portion of Missis sippi; no considerable portion of Kentucky, no consider able portiou of Tennessee; none of Virginia, except Fortress Monroe.and Arlington Heights; noneofNorth Carolina, except Hatteras; none of South Carolina, ex cept Port Royal. . All the rest was ground in struggle at - least, and was regularly furnishing supplies to the rebels. Now the rebels-hold none of Missouri, none of Kentucky; none of Tennessee tor-any valuable purposes of supplies, because the western, part is in our. hands, and the eastern part has been so overrun by contending armies that all-its supplies' have "been-exhausted. They hold.no portion of Virginia valuable for supplies, and that is not eaten out by thoir armies- We hold one third of Virginia and one-half of North Carolina. We hold our own In South Carolina, and I hope that we shall, befoi*e the 31th of this month, hold a little more. [Enthusiastic cheering.] We hold two-thirds of Louisiana in point of,wealth and population. We hold all Arkan sas and Texas, so far as supplies are concerned, so long aB Admiral Farragut is between Port Hudson and Vicks burg. [Applause. ] And I believe the colored troops hold Florida by last accounts. [Laughter and applause. ] Now let us see to wliat the rebellion has been reduced. • To the remainder of Virginia, a part of North Carolina, thelargestpaitof South Carolina,aU Georgia, Alabama, and a small portion of Louisiana and Ten nessee—Texas being,as 1-said before, cutoff. Now we draw strong hope from this, as the rebel supplies came principally either from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, or Texas,, and these sources are now com paratively beyond their reach, v- To this fact I look largely for the suppression of the rebel lion and the over-throw of revolution. They have come to tho end of thoir conscription; wo have not be gun ours. [Laughter.] They have’eome t.> the cndT of their national credit; we have not put ours in any mar ket'of the world. XApplauso. ] And why should any man he disappointed V Why should any man say that this great-work has gone along too slow? Why should any inan feel impatient ? I have shared in that impa tience myself, and was saying to a friend but the other day, when I saw that our navy did notcatchthe steamor Alabama, thaisthere must bo something wrong in the Navy Department; but I was reminded how Paul Jones, with a single vessel, set the whole navy of England at defiance, and worked his will.upon the English, coast, and that Lord Cochrane, with a single , ship, kept the whole French, coast in terror against the entire French navy. . LORD LYONS AND THE POLITICIANS. He would not charge that the English minister had been- tampering with our leading politicians, but our leading politicians had been tampering with him.. When he saw that tlio other day every. drop of blood in his veins boiled, and he should like then to.have seen any of those leading politicians. [Laughter.] What kind of politicians, were they? - ’[Voices —‘ Copperheads, •* ‘ traitors, ” * ‘ conservative politicians. Laughter. ] They could not be Democratic politicians. Now, he *would like to hear Andrew. Jackson say a few words to such politicians who now. call themselves Democrats. [A voice—He would hang them. ]No,he would not have the opportunity; he could not catch them. : [Loud laugh ter.] He described these men as ‘descendants iu a direct line of Judas' Iscariot, intermarried with Benedict Ar -nold. [Applause, and cries of “ Booby Brooks,” “Fer nando Wood,” &c.. A voico—Ho knows them .all. Laughter.] . , Be understood that there was a man in New York who professed not.-to know the meaning of the? word loyalty—(cries of * Wood, Wood,” and hisses)—but fie would say that it was the duty of every man to he loyal -to the Government, to sustain it, and to pardon its -errors if it commits any. The course of the Government, wasouwavd. The mower mows on though the adder' may writhe and the copperhead crawl Around the blade of tho scythe. [Loud applause. ] In conclusion, he had only to return his sincere thanks for the patient hearing which had been given to his remarks. .General Butler took his seat amid'thunders of ap plaase, which was continued until he had bowed his acknowledgments again, and again to the audience. Execution of Eewis at Trenton. Trenton, N. J., April 3.—This is the day ap pointed for the execution of Charles Lewis, for the murder of James Rowand, at Princeton, on the 18th of Just November. .

The'PeterXofif being somewhat weatherbound, the SoutlSbrii tleman grew impatient, and left the Bhi7« ; at Fal mouth, forfeiting his passage money, and saying lie* thought he'could get out by a more expeditious route to thin nbuntry; The Peterhoff arrived at* St. Thomaß onolte 30th of February, and was over hauled, wheir&near that port, by the United states ' papers examined and prO- ship allowed to proceed'.

The vessel coaled atst. and’ left the* harbor at noon under sail, the engincM having broke down. When a few miles out she met the Vanderbilt, bound’in, the latter allowing her to pass, as the United States steamship Alabama had overhauled anil pronounced her correct. _A few mo ments afterwards, however, the Vanderbilt was sig nalized by Admiral Willies, and, turning back, over hauled the Peterhoff„ and sent an officer on board, who demanded to see the Bhip’s papers. Captain Jarman produced them, andy'as he says, the officer turned them over carelessly, not making the exami nation bo minutely as he h»d supposed he would, and left the cabin saying that the papers were not in due form. Captain Jarman-inquired where they were wrong, and was informed that they were not properly certified by the consul at St. Thomas. He then requested the officer to step back and he would show him, where the consul had endorsed them; but as the official was already over the ship’s side, he said he would return to the Vanderbilt and report. Upon the report of thiß officer the prize crew were sent on board and a formal demand made that the ship’s papers should be given up, to be carried on board the flagship. Captain Jarman refused to al low, them to be taken out of the-.vesselj and the prize master then took possession of the ship in the name of the United States, and brought her to New York, it 3s Bald-that'Lord Lyons will make a formal demand upon the Government for the release of the vessel, and that the owners, Messrs.

The mail of the Feterhoffiß in the hands ef the Prize Commissioners, and may, when overhauled, make some disclosures. The cargo of the vessel is an assorted one, and, if not intended for the rebels, is certainly just what they stand in need of, there being among the rest a large Quantity of quinine.

Patriotism versus Politicalism.— Many men wlio are not patriots are politicians. They are of argumentative minds. They deal in pros and cons; they dilate facts, and sift fancies. Pa triotism and politicalisin'-sometimes run full tilt against each other. In no time has this been more prominent than in that just past,* in no time proba bly will it be more than in that just at hand. The man who is only a politician lovee but his party. The patriot clasps his country in the arms of his love, and gazes into her eyes with looks of riveted devotedness. The era of the pre sent day has brought the patriotic and political proclivities of all to a head. Every man’s prin ciple or want of principle is recognized, and is re quired to be recognized. By no methods have such proclivities been more immediately;developed than by those methods adopted for the suppression of rebellion and the perpetuation, of the Union.' The new national conscription act concerns every body. Impartiality breathes through it. Justice, in its provisions, iB meted out with perfect fairness. The definitions and limitations are precise and accu rate. No class is favored. The glory which has hallowed the brow of America in the past, will gleam yet more resplendently in the future. Conscription acts are necessities. The perfectness of their provisions, the equality of their dispensa tions, are in this case a cause for the nation’s self gratulation. If harmony is ever to- be restored, if perfect peace is ever again to hold unquestionable sway, it will only be when every • heart beats with the blood of loyalty, and when each heart inspires each hand to spill- the blood of treason. -.

The Recent Acoibent .on .the Phila delphia and Baltimouk RAiLitoAp..-r-The acci dent which occurred on the Philadelphia and Balti more Railroad, on Wednesday morning .last, at four o’clock, waß somewhat singular, andj. strange to relate, not a single .person was'injured to any extent. It seems that the Adams’.Express Company’s car having been too heavily laden with..merchandise, had broken down while under a speed of thirty miles an hour. At the moment of contactwith the sleep ers, the engine and tender were .released and sped bn out of harm’s way. The express car/was. instantly torn into fragments and: with . its contents—iron safes, hexes ol delicacies for the soldiers, poultry, a full assortment of millinery, thejatesk spring fash ions, mutton, cologne, bologna .sausagei, hair oil, butter, hair brushes and. combs, Dutch bread, gold watches and jewelry, eggs, and a thousand..other ar ticles were scattered on either side of the track for ; fifty yards. The baggage car next followed, and the : . crates were badly broken. TheinaU-cdr was smashed in at both ends, turned completely around, and left at an angle of 45°, one end in tbc.ditchand the other on top ot tHe first passenger car. The smoking and re freshment car, containing twenty-five persons, was thrown from the track, its front part driven into the bank on the left of the track,andlts rear acting as a terrific break, which., thus stopped the passenger cars, and undoubtedly saving many lives/ ; Strange to relate, and notwithstanding the smoking car was made a complete wreck, its front and right side en tirely carried away, the mail , car, containing four persons, also broken up, and. the forward part of the first passenger car crushed in, bysome almost mi raculous interposition of Providence, not a person was killed or e\en severely wounded v: There were many hair-breadth escapes. The special mail agent was lying asleep, An’ six. leather, bags containing twenty mmions of bound for the United States Treasury, and was .thrown violently from side to side of the apartment, and landing, as he ex preseed it, “after a flight of. several„nunutes’ du ration,” severely bruised. The agent of Adfftns’ Express Company was fortunately prevented from occupying his car in consequence of: the great quan tity of freight. Thus his life was saved.. An indi vidual sleeping in the. forward end of the smoking car awakened in two feet of ice-cold water in the ditch. Another Steadier en Route eob Poet Royal, —The steamer Massachusetts sails this morning for Port Royal. Commodore Stribling, the commandant of the navy yard,.has-issued' the edict that she will haul off* from the wharf at noon. It is astonishing how much comfort, which might be ad ministered to our. sdidiers and sailors, is lost because of ignorance of the facilities of communication fur nished by Government. It is late to say this on the very morning when the Massachusetts sails, but though the reform which might well take place will not be exhibited now,, yet, if these few words will have been the cause of one more package going down in the future, we shall have been paid for the trou ble of penning them. Transports leave New York every day or so, and many a mail boat enters Port Royal harbor without any considerable mail on ac count of failure to have its hour of sailing adver tised. v National Union League: op Darby.- A Union League was organized in the borough, of Darby, on Thursdey last, by the election of the fol lowing officers: President—Mr. Charles.a Ldtzen berg; Vice Presidents —Mr. D.
