THE NEWS, Our sews from 1 General Stoneman’s forces,: known to be advancing to the line of the Rappa hannock, is meagre, but there Beems to be but little doubt that he has made an important reoonnois eance in force, and has been engaged in skirmishing with the enemy£for several days past. The ac counts from Richmond papers are only up to the opening of the laßt week, but it seems that General; Stoneman made a feint, as if to croBS at Kelly’s !!Ford, on%the Rappahannock, some miles above Fredericksburg. Our own accounts state that after this feint was made, : General Stoheman, with hia Tight division, crossed the Rappahannock near the ■Sulphur Springs, and proceeded south along the line of the lailroad leading.to Gordonsville. Cor- Teaponricnts with the army Bcem positive that he has reached Culpeper, and some insist that Gor donsville has been captured. The Richmond Enqxdrcr y of the 16th inst., contains n long editorial, deprecating the apathy shown by the people in vindicating the sovereignty of their States against a powerful enemy. The Bame paper Implores the ladies to put away their silk dresses, and the gentlemen their cloth coats, and even goes *o far rb to ask its subscribers to put their tables on a war footing, whatever that may mean. It is ad mitted that the war may last at least two years longer, and all the sums expended for smuggled arti cles are bribes to the Yankees to continue the strug gle. u As for the moneys given in payment of Eng lish and French fabrics which come to us direct, through the blockade, and which are not furnished to us by Yankee merchants—these moneys.are not indeed gained by the enemy, but they are lost to us, and are, in this way, a gain to our enemies.” The counting of soiled postage stamps, which were a few months since deposited at the New York post office for redemption, has been completed,"and nearly Dine-tcnths of the whole number have been so redeemed. Notice has been issued to the owners of the remaining one-tenth to come up and receive current funds for their deposits. The amount of claims of depositors is $260,000, one-fifth of the whole number having been thrown out on account of being marked stamps. The counting of these stamps would have occupied one man for the space of two years and a half. * ’’ * . The prize schooner Antelope, from Charleston, by way of Fort Kcyal, arrived at New York yesterday. She wrb captured off Charleston April 1 by the United States steamer Memphis. Her cargo is sup-- posed-to consist of salt or saltpetre. The prize-' master reports that on the 12th inst., Fort Royal bearing seventy miles south, he, saw .a large Anglo? rebel paddle-wheel steamer Bteering Bouth. She was painted lead color, with white smokestack, and was. without masts. Ten miles further north he saw another Anglo-rebel steamer steering west-north west toward Charleston. Eakl Russule has.written a letter defending the belligerent right of visitation by the cruisers of the United States, to suspicious vessels, for examina tion, and their capture, if justifiable. The spirit of the letter would seem to indicate the propriety of seizing all vessels making doubtful voyages, and sending them to ports of admiralty for adjudication, and, if cleared fiom suspicion, and proved to be en gaged in legitimate commercial carriage, they can be released, and allowed such claims as may be deemed just, for indemnity for detention. The Lynchburg (Va.)

The St. ■'Ltouia-lityublican states as one of the facts illustrating the magnitude Qf the jvar, that 31,184 horses and 19,127 mules were purchased in that city for the army duiing the year ending March 31. They cost $6,911,000. Most of the animals were brought from Illinois and the northern parts of Indiana and Ohio, Missouri having been exhausted early in the commencement of our struggle. The Cincinnati Gazette urges the construction of railroad locomotive batteries, not only as offensive weapons, blit more' especially for defensive purpo ses. Every railroad train, it says, should be armed, and thus it would be protected against all attacks of guerillas, Buch aB are so often occurring in Ken tucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. General Carrington, commanding the military district of Indiana, has ordered the arrest of all per sons known to be connected with an order ballad the Knights of the Golden Circle” in that State, and they will he tried by court martial, and dealt with in the severest manner. 'A large number of arrests' have been made, and these cabals will probably be broken up. The gold market, was unsettled yesterday, and there "waa a more general disposition to sell. The market opened at 151 and sold down to 14S}£ at the close. This is believed to be the result of increasing confidence in the Government and the hopeful reports from our armies. Government Btocka were firm, and money is plenty. The market was active yesterday, and prices advancing. • General Thomas, AdjutantGeneralofthe United State*, iB still Waiiy®ngAgAri-in_organizing;the.con trabands'"at different points in the Southwest into regiments.

"■ .. * Lord Palmerston, in a recent speech at Glas gow, promised non-intervention in American affairs for himself and the Derbyites, and said that inter ference on the part of the nations of Europe, instead Of extinguishing the hostility between the North '&nd South, would.probably increase it. General Grant has passed down the Mississippi Ore this, with his entire fleet of gunboats and trans ports, and it is said that he will make an assault upon Vicksburg from below, after having captured the rebel batteries at Warrenton. Admiral Farragut was at last accounts success fully blockading the mouth of Red fiver, which is deemed the most important, if not the only, channel by which the rebels receive food for their large armies at Yicksburg and Port Hudson. A despatch in the London papers, dated at Shangbaie, February 23. says : “ Advices received here from Japan announce that the British Lega tion at Yeddo had been destroyed by gunpowder by the Japanese. No fatal accident, however, re sulted.” The Sioux and Winnebago Indians are to be im mediately removed from Minnesota to a tract of land on the Upper Missouri river, near Fort Ran dall, several hundred miles from any white settle ment, where they will be permitted the felicity of cutting each other’s throats to their hearts’ con tent. From data furnished by the medical statistics of the United States army, it appears that the largest men are found in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennes see, and Kentucky, while the smallest men are found in the States of New York, Massachusetts, and Con necticut. , A party of Indians attacked an outpost df eighteen soldiers on the 16th instant at Medalia, thirty miles from Mankato, Minnesota. One soldier was killed, two wounded. Of the settlers, one boy was killed and two men wounded.

It will be observed that the rebels are;still sorely troubled about the scarcity of food in the. South. It is rumored that General Wisehad occupied AVilliamsburg.

The Indian massacres have rendered the region so uninhabited that bisons, wolves, &c., roam freely where they have not before been seen for years. Our forces under.

Earl Bussell on tlie Peterhofl" Case. Earl Bussell’s, letter which we print to-day, concerning the seizure of. British vessels suspected of a design to break the blockade, is both important and interesting at the present juncture. The British’ minis ter distinctly acknowledges the right of Federal cruisers to' capture and detain, for examination in the prize courts, all British vessels hound (ostensibly,) for Matamoros or Vera Cruz,'whose intentions are open to suspicion, and he declares that the English Government will only interfere in their behalf in a case where they have " been wrongfully held, and the courts have re fused them redress. This position of Earl Bussell is in strict accordance with the past policy of Great Britain, and is clearly just and proper. But if the opinions of the noble Earl do not possess extraordinary novelty, it is well, nevertheless, that they should be expressed so clearly at the pre sent time, when the case of the Peterhoff is being agitated in both nations. The fol lowing sentences, which convey the gist of the communication, will show how ground less such agitation has been, and, perhaps, convince some of the most skeptical that England is less disposed to provoke a war with us now than she was at the time of the Trent affair: “ It is the right of the bellige rent to capture all vessels reasonably sus pected of either of these transgressions of international law, and whenever, any such case of capture is alleged, the case cannot be withdrawn from the consideration of the prize court of the captor. After the case has undergone investigation, it is the duty of the prize court to restore any such prizes unlawfully made, with costs and damages; and the proper'time for the interference of her Majesty’s' Government is, in general, when the prize courts have refused redress for a capture which the evidence shows to Lave been unjustifiable.” If the Peterhoff ■svas not a lawful prize, tbe court, having been thus kindly instructed in its duty by the British Secretary, will doubtless make proper restitution to the owners. If she was properly confiscable, English interference is the last evil we have cause to fear, and the last evil we should tolerate. “Keeping John Bull’s Score.” This is the title of ■ a caricature in this week's number of Harper'a Weekly. Bur lesque drawings, hitting at public events and personages, were common in Greece and Borne, were found on the walls of Pompeii were directed against the early Christians and have descended to us, from remote times, through the Anglo-Saxon ancestors of the present conglomerate which bears the name of “English.” In France, this method of speaking to the public mind, through familiar art, is little known, for it lias never been well executed, nor has it ever been appreciated. In England it has long been successful and familiar especially duving the last eighty years. The great masters of this art were Gilhay, Rowland son, and George Ciujikshank, in the past generation. The facelias of the latter (who still lives.) powerfully influenced the public anind of England during the terrible excite ment of the trial of Queen Caroline, in 1830. Later still, from the death of Mr. Canning in 1837 to the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, one man, John Doyle by name, who merely signed “H. B.” to his sketches, produced a series, several liun -dreds in number, which, from their superior drawing and admirable likenesses of public personages, obtained such notice all oyer the continent of Europe, that now, in complete sets, they are to be found in the libraries of monarcks and statesmen. However, the suc cess of Punch, '.which was established in the summer of 1841, placed H. B. hors de combat in,a few years. The cartoons, or halt-page caricatures, which appeared in that amusing weekly journal, hit the public taste by their wit, and found tlieir way into even the poor est houses by their cheapness. Instead of giving half a dollar for one of the H. B. .caricatures, only six cents had to be paid for Punch, with its weekly cartoon, and half an hour’s pleasant reading to boot. The per sons who chiefly executed these cuts at the time were the younger Doyle, John Leech, John Tenniel, John Henning, and “Phiz;” Of these, only two now re main on Punch— namely, Leech and Ten niel. It took five years for Punch to drive H. B. out of the market. In this country, Vanity Fair has produced some of the best caricatures published anywhere. This sati rical journal, after a manful struggle for three years, was compelled to give in, and from a' weekly dwindled down to a monthly, which, in turn, became a semi-occasional issue. We are pleased to learn that, on May-day, it will again appear as a weekly publication, with new force of pen and pencil. It is chiefly in Harper's Weekly, at present, that any thing like the legitimate caricature is produced, in this country. From the time of Hogabtii, the English people have complacently acceptedtheFrencli idea of an Anglo-Saxon. That idea, when ever a French satirist drew or described John Bnli, showed him as a stout, good-humored, bullet-headed, round-faced, partially bald old man, evidently fattened onroast beef and;- plum pudding; clothed in brass-buttoned blue! coat and buff-vest, with drab unmentionables, - and top-boots. His costume was considered 1 incomplete without the addition of a cudgel in-his hand. So the French drew the Eng lishman a century ago, and so, ever since, John Bull has good-humoredly drawn him self. In turn, when British satire had-to ; sketch an American, on whom it bestowed ;the sob'iquet of “Brother Jonathan,” it showed a tali, slight,Tank-jawed, high-col lared, hatchet-faced man, with a long tailed coat, descending to his heels, striped pantaloons, some inches too short in the leg, but elongated by stupendous straps con necting the individual with a pair of Hew • England Wellingtons. .A. particularly fuzzy hat completed this attire. But Jonathan was not in full dress without a piece of white ■ pine-in one hand, which be whittled with -a-lien-knife, while driving a hard bargain. . American artists have adapter! thin lean and awkward, lank-jawed and sharp crea ture, as the personification of the native American. In the caricature entitled, “Keeping John Btdl’s Score,” Jonathan is represented as tending store. He is attired in the costume above described. On his shelves are various articles labelled “Belief,” and also tin-canisters, respect ively marked “ Prince of Wales Crackers,” and “Havelock Candy.” A barrel of flour is on the floor. On the counter are various parcels, all marked “Belief,” for which a thin-faced, eager-eyed lad, wearing the paper-cap of a Lancashire operative, is very anxiously waiting. Of Jonathan himself, we have a full-length back view, but his profile is also-slightly visible. He is noting down, with a bit of chalk upon the black board, the additions to John Bull’s score. The accounts for 1776 and 1812 are severally scratched across, and the word “settled” placed opposite each. The hew score, from 1862-3, is considerably larger than both of the old accounts—five times as much, at least. That is all the artist has given—but surely that is a great deal ? Surely, there is a tre mendous score between this country and England, the settlement of which we shall insist upon,. some day, ere long. John Bull really is at war with us, for he claims, and he exercises, the privilege of fitting out a fleet of pirates, to be employed against American commerce, and manages it so that we are precluded from making reprisals. This fleet is as much British, as if it fought under the Union Jack, and it is a fact that it sails under that flag. The result is inevita ble—an increased, and increasing, hatred of England, and a resolve, by the National mind, “ to have it out with England” when ever the opportunity allows. . This is plainly uttered—-but it is the truth. Wards to be dreaded, to he averted, except when a wrong has been done to us for. which war alone can obtain reparation. ; England has done us this wrong, and we shall settle the score ere we have done. Indian Cotton Manufacture. We leam from England, in advance of . newspaper information, that the Lancashire cotton-spinners are “putting the screw” upon. Lord Palmerston and his ministerial colleagues, to break down the flimsy, if not nominal, neutrality which England affects to have set up, and to acknowledge the in dependence and nationality of the revolted South, without any further delay. A par ticular development in India has greatly alarmed the disinterested cotton-lords. There are numerous very wealthy, merchants and traders in India, sagacious and enterprising, who, it is said, have determined to go into tlie cotton business, with energy and money. These are chiefly Parsees, and generally re side in Bombay, where, indeed, they have a well-conducted English newspaper, called The Indian Gentleman's Gazette. Of this crowd of rich merchants, the late Sir Jam setjee Jejeebkoy, (created Baronet in 1557, J long was head, and his successor and namesake, the inheritor of his vast wealth, a shrewd man of fifty-two, now holds his immense fortune, and lias inherited liis standing and influence. The Parsees of Bombay can expend thousands where the Lancashire cotton-lords would be afraid to risk hundreds. It is stated to us that their project is not to sell and send Indian cotton to England, but to retain it in India, and themselves to manu facture it into the various fabrics into which it is now converted in Europe— at least, into such fabrics as are in demand in India, China, and the East generally. They can easily obtain the necessary machinery, and may wholly supersede, in a short time, all foreign cotton manufactures. The British cotton-lords would thus have a large and lucrative branch of their trade cut off - . No wonder, then, that they are more than ever anxious to obtain cotton from the South, so as to prevent the contemplated action of the Indian merchants. Once that India manu factures lier own cotton, .in equal quality with that: of the Lancashire operatives, England will have to lament over the great est blow to her mechanical industry. Rear Admiral S. P. Dupont. All great commanders must expect the unthinking mass to feel aggrieved at any check, however insignificant. Many, too, from various motives—some from personal prejudices, others from secret infidelity to the great cause now tasking all the energies of our nation—will take advantage of any slight failure to cry down a gallant officer, and thus assail the Government. Admiral Dupont, we regret to observe, has been thus assailed. ; We speak from personal knowledge, when we pronounce him unsur passed for gallantry, enterprise, and skill, and aided as lie was by so many distin guished naval officers on the occasion of the late attack on Fort Sumpter, we know well that lie did all that could possibly have been done under the circumstances. We have to support these remarks the personal testi mony of our correspondent, who witnessed the fight; and we are sure that, when the Admiral’s report is published, it will con firm and prove all we have been saying. In the meanwhile, let us not forget itjio bril liancy of the victory at Port lioyal and the hero of that engagement. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, April 20, 1863, We are having some new-scenes in the great drama of the war. The last would be ominous if it had not been revealed too early, and been managed by parties almost openly Secession. It is, that if there is not a great victory over the rebels “in tbe coming campaign,” to use the language of the In telligencer, the Administration must prepare ior dreadful consequences—the plain mean ing of which is, that, in the event of. de feat, the rebellion must, be declared victo rious, and the usurpation of the traitors acknowledged. But this expedient will de ceive nobody. Coming as it does from those who have never felt a single conscientious conviction in the necessity of this great effort for tbe preservation of the Go vernment, it must be regarded only as a new indication of their desire to em barrass the Administration, and to termi nate the war at any sacrifice of honor or of territory. It is the interest of no patriotic man to protract the war. Every energy of the Executive, and Of all his representatives, civil and military, is devoted to the achieve ment of victory over the enemy. Suppose, however, this’ victory does not come to us in “the coining campaign are we then to yield to the new proposals of those who are only desirous of peace with the rebels, and are, therefore, really in earnest , for;de feat, and not for triumph ? I need not ask a question when I can anticipate the indignant reply. If it should so fall out, that God will not give us the advantage in “the coming campaign,” we must even pro ceed to make another effort. Every hour proves that either the old flag or the new one must succeed; either the Government of our fathers, or the rebellion of a portion ot their degenerate and ingrate descend ants. The best way to realize the dread ful impossibility of a peace not based upon ane entire country, is to attempt to mark the limits of. division, the: terms of partition, the .conditions of separation. You might as successfully divide the human body, and expect the heart to beat, as to separate the American Republic and expect liberty to live. Every great national interest, whether of trade and commerce, or of society and religion, would perish in a maze of factions and a sea of blood; and order would only be restored by the strong hand of the despot. The human frame is not more closely knitted together than are the freedom of the people and the entirety of the soil of America. . This scheme to give a new impetus to the . rebellion, by holding out the hope that the ; people of the. free States will: be willing to agree to separation, if the next movements of our army are not crowned with success, is suggested at-a moment when through every organ of the Confederacy, from Davis himself and his so-called Cabinet to the self constituted Governors of the different sec tions Vwhere the rebels hold sway, we hear .-the cry that there is a prospect of want of food for both troops and people. Their cot ton trade brings them neither com nor beef, and without these they .must pei-ioii. _. Com-' pare this-confession of poverty and pro spective famine with the superabundant re sources of the loyal States, and you have the best argument to set-off the cry that we are unable to put down the rebellion. If we cannot defeat them “inthe coming cam paign” by force of arms, we at least hold the whole of the free and loyal States clear of violence and bloodshed, and can exhaust them by our own steady, resolute, and un shaken constancy. . There is another element which enters largely into the future. I mean the rigor and system of the organization of the ne groes in the Southwest. Adjutant! General Thomas, now in the department of General Grant, has stated the case so fully as to leave-no doubt as to the purpose of the Ad-: ministration on this question. You will have seen how his appeals to the white soldiers have been received. They hail this experiment as one that is certain to operate advantageously upon themselves and the cause. You will have also noticed that not only has no dissent been expressed by the troops, hut that the general officers, in cluding some of the most distinguished Democrats, have voluntarily and cordially endorsed his recommendations. It is im possible for any man of sense to resist the powerful arguments in the speeches of the Adjutant General. The approach of the warm weather, the expiration of the term of many of the regiments in Louisiana, and the immense increase of fugitives who run from their masters on the approach of our forces, render this act of the Government a matter of wisdom, as it is clearly humane and necessary. Un ■der a proper regime, and with good lead ers, the whole character of the war in the Southwest will thus assume a new charac ter. As General Thomas well remarks,' the rebels have had every chance to avail them selves of the generous offer in the President’s- Proclamation, and having rejected that,, they cannot complain if the Government acts out its policy by declaring their slaves to be free, and by taking care that if they arc to he used in war, it shall- not he against the American Bepublic. There are ten thousand remedies yet to he tried before the craven demand for an igno minious peace is responded to by the people. Occasional.

The spacious hall was packed with people in every portion, and large numbers were unable to . gain admittance. The hall was splendidly deco rated, and the greatest possible enthusiasm pre vailed. That the State of Maryland shall never be taken from under the stars and stripes under any circumstances nor on any conditions, if it can be prevented by the sacrifice of our liveß and fortunes; and to this declaration, in the presence of Almighty God, we hereby pledge each other. Resolved, That we declare our unconditional sup port of the Government in any measure it may de termine to be necessary in the prosecution of the war for the supremacy of the Union; and that the war ought to be prosecuted until its authority is ac knowledged and its flag waveß unaßsailed over every part of the national territory. Among the distinguished persons present were Governor Cannon, of Delaware,Fostmaster General Blair,. David Paul Brown, Esq., of Philadelphia, and ; Governor Bradford, of Maryland. The latter acted as chairman. Letters were received from Secretary. Seward, the Hon. Messrs. Holt and Dickinson, and Governor Curtin, expressing regret at their inability to at tend. Thei meeting is Btill in progress. The following resolutions were adoptedwith great enthusiasm: Whereas, The "Union Leagues of Baltimore, or ganized in the days of darkness which hung over the States and the country in the spring of 1861, are now for the first time assembled in public mass meeting, it is proper to declare the principles, pur poses, and views of their members: therefore, Resolved, That the existence of the American nation is to be maintained above all local’ interests,' opinions, and institutions, and that we declare our solemn puipose that/ though all things else shall perish, thiß country, this Union-shall live. Resolved, That the origin and progress of the re bellion leave no room to doubt the institution of slavery has become an instrument in the hands of traitors to build an oligarchy and an aristocracy on the ruins of republican , liberty ; that its continued existence is incompatible with the maintenance of the republican formsof government in the States in subordination to the Constitution of the United States, and that the emancipation proclamations of. the President ought to be enforced by all'the power placed by Congress in the hands of the President; that traitors have no right to enforce the obedience of slaves, and.that against traitors in arms the Pre sident should use all men, white or black, in the way they can most be useful, and to the extent they can be used—whether it be to handle a spade oy shoulder a mufket. Resolved, That the safetyand interests of the . , State of Maryland, and especially of her white laboring people, require that slavery should cease ' to be recognized by the iaws of Maryland, and that .the aid of the United'States, as recommended by the President, ought to be aßkcd and accepted to alleviate the public and private inconvenience in cident to the changed Resolved, That we return our heartfelt thanks to . Major General Schenck, commanding this depart-- ment, for the policy he has inaugurated and pur sued, and that we will support him morally and ; physically, and that we exhort him to go on in his good course to the bitter confusion of treason and . traitors. . .

RE . .NE'SW..... .ENE ENE Meeting op Discharged Soldiers.- — Last evening a meeting of discharged soldiers was' held at the Marion Assembly Room., corner of Sixth* Btreet and Washington avenue. The room wab filled 1 to overflowing, although the meeting was simply prel i nun ary to a more general one soon to be held, .nil 4* !ll ,aB ! seven o’clock, James Morrison wab called to the chair. Eeech was appointed secretary, and Ell ward O. Skelton assistant. were nearl J’ aU strangers together, though formerly patriot brothers in arms to do bat tie for the country. v,?uL\P‘ 'V-Abott (we believe) arose and said that he had called upon Mr. Sailor at the navy yard, who JSiinV’llXf I m t5 a 5 ?° fAr aB he couW , he would ap- E t fl° I<Uerß - that , hftd been honorably discharged the service of the United States, but that no He d fthn° « W^ anted there for two weeks at least. Sf;i th fv J e^.erJ was i nclined to think that the floldier has have not been regarded as cheerfully as they should have been. If we go to the foundries in search of work they all say “ ves yes we’ll employ you,” but then they desire usto work at very, poor rates per day, as though we were not a w our hire. Fork soldier, who h£ a wife and little ones around him, bow cheerless, indeed is somethin 61 ? 11101 , a 11 wouW seem to him that,’if be“gar h “ g b done > We of us will be driven to .f. a , id that when he read the l 1 !® meeting he did so with pleasure, and he ? t? at muoh sooil would be derived by a con ° action on our part. It may not simply be to work^/tn?h°e r th ? arsenal that we Bhoultt look for W „ ■ ’ v ,0 ll ? e ,public generally: those men of busi ness who want labor, and when lhey do employ are willing o pay for the labor. There is no country in the world where they do not provide for the honor ably-dischaiged soldier. In Great Britain, particu larly, great care is taken to provide for the dis charged of their army. . A soldier’s discharge there is all that is necessary to procure him employment such as he is capable of performing. So it should be in this country, and so it probably will be when we make the subject known in proper manner. When we first rushed to arinß, with the bloom of health in our cheeks; with muscle that could wield a sword or handle a musket; with hearts beat ing high with hope for our country and universal liberty- then, indeed, we were cheered on by the smiles of the'women, the loud huzzas of the men. we never knew what it was to* meet a frown until we saw the scowling faces of the rebels. Now we have returned, some with the loss of a leg, an arm, a hand, a foot, an eye, maimed in various wayß for life; broken down in constitution, or crip pled from rheumatism ; and yet we do not see those smiles nor those huzzas that ushered us on in the early part of the struggle. But we should not vet censure the people. They have hearts to feel, and it requiies a soft touch only to make the chords of sym pathy vibrate in them. We think we have a claim upon~T7ncle:-s?aiir, 'anu-~tiiose“or~~us "who - ' have recruited our wasted energies, and can-and are willing to work, certainly ought not to go disregarded in our appeals. If we find the mere politician who does hot feel willing to give way a little, then, indeed, we may conclude tiiat his patriotism is at a very low ebb. In my opinion, Mr. President, there is nothing so detestable'as a beggar. If an honorably-discharged soldier scorns to eat of the bread of poverty, and the citizens re fuse to give him work when, they have it, or can make a place for-him, then that citizen is entitled to a Bhare of censure.. But that time. has not yet come. The time was when a raid was made towards the Pennsylvania lines: then it was that the people of the State rushed to a'rms to drive back the in vaders. They knew the importance, of it then, while we were doing. the duties of soldiers on the banks of the Potomac, or on thatsacred soil” that was mighty hard to travel over. Philadelphia at one time was in danger, and when the wealthy business men are made to remember this, they will not fail to respond willingly to our appeal, because if they do, they will set a very bad precedent, in deed, in case more recruits for the army are asked for. A member desired to know whether sailors are to be included in this movement as well as soldiers. k The president responded, certainly; all are in who have rendered service in the cause of the country. A motion was agreed to that a committee be ap pointed to make the necessary arrangements to fur ther the cause. . > Messrs. John Murphy (sailor); ; John W. Smith, C. V.'Abbott, Ebenezer Beach, and John M, Leach were appointed. A committee of three was appointed to prepare an address and resolutions, to be presented at the next meeting. Messrs. W. S. Holmes, Edward Moir, and C. Y. Abbott were appointed. A motion was agreed to that when the meeting adjourns it adjourns to meet at the County Court House, corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets. The following named were appointed as the Com mittee on Finance: Messrs. Wm. L. Holmes, John W. Smith, Ebene zer Beach, C. V. Abbott, and Jno. M. Leech. A vote of thanhs was tendered to the Marion As sembly, for the use of their room. A vote of thanks was also tendered to The Press, Age, and Public Ledger , these papers being represent ed at the meeting. On motion, adjourned to meet at the call of the Committee of Arrangements. Guardians of the Poor.—A stated meeting of this Board was held yesterday afternoon. The census of the Almshouse were reported as follows: Number in the house on Saturday, Same time last year Decrease... Admitted during the past two weeks, 161 5 births, 16; deaths, 17 5 discharged, 185; eloped, 72; bound, 4; number of persons granted lodgings, 90; do. meals, 218.

The treasurer reported having paid into the city treasury $1,376.24. . The committee oh Children’s Asylum, reported having bound out two children, and the action was confirmed. ’ The Committee on Supplies reported having given out the whole contract for supplying the house-with mutton to Messrs. Lentz & Geisler. The action was confirmed. (A part of the contract was award ed originally to John Kelly, but he failed to conform to the teiins. He alleges, however, that he had given directions to have it attended to in his ab sence, which was not done. Thecommittee, acting on a Buppoßed dereliction, gave away Mr. Kelly’s part of the contract to the parties named above.) Dr. Wm. M. Allen waß elected second assistant apothecary at the Almshouse. ; : - Dr. Wm. B. Corbit was elected assistant physician in the Inßane Department. Mr. Lee offered the following: Whereas, It is by law the duty of the clerks of the markets to send to the Almshouse, for the use of the poor, a portion of the butter, lard, and other articles forfeited by reason of light weight or short measure; and whereas, The quantity-usually received from that source has greatly diminished during the past year and no satisfactory explanation can be had by this Board as to the cause of this falling off: there fore - Resolved, That Councils be requested to order in quiry to be made as to the disposition of articles seized by the clerks of the various markets and by law forfeited to the use of the Guardians of the Poor during the paßt two years. Adopted. : Mr. Erety offered a resolution recommending Dr. Penrose as a suitable person to fill a vacancy in the Medical Faculty of the Pennsylvania University, which was agreed to. The President (Mr. Maris) called the attention of the Board to an act of Assembly, which requires that before out-door relief be granted, a majority vote of the Board is necessary and the yeas and nayß taken. That rule had been abandoned for a number of vearß. No action was taken upon the subject, and the Board adjourned. ...$1,355,557 Meeting of the Board of Survey.— The Board met yesterday at ioj£ o’clock A. M. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The deed of dedication by the Friendship Land and Building Association for Grant Btreet waß presented, and, it not appearing to be a through street, was, on motion, referred to the surveyor and regulator of the Second district. Mr. Daly reported that the name of Kimball be inserted in the deed referred to him at last meeting; agreed to. A deed of dedication for the following streetsithrough the Naglee estate was presented: Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, York, and Dauphin streets (each fifty feet «n width), and Tatiaea, Arizona, Daeotab, Nevada, and Calora streets (each forty feet in width), and Susquehanna avenue (sixty feet in width), andLejee street (forty six feet in width.) The names were approved. The committee to whom was referred the application of the Central Passenger Railway asking for a change in the grade of Wayne street, in the Twenty-second ward, reported that they met on the ground and ex amined the grade from Roberts’ avenue to Manheim street. They presented the following resolution, which was agreed to: Resolved, That the Chief Engineer be requested to inform the. Committee of Surveys that, in the opi nion of this Board, there is no authority for the changing of the grade ot Wayne Btreet, and that the committee be discharged. The Board then adjourned. Union League.—At tlie regular meeting of the Union League, last evening, Rev. Dr. Marks, of Washington, was present, and entertained the members with an interesting and patriotic address. He announced that he would give a short history of the war as it came under his personal notice. The narrative elicited close attention. He graphically described the seven-day fight before Richmond, commencing at the advance from Yorktown, and following up with a description of the victories and subsequent defeat of McClellan’s army.. The speaker had been taken a prisoner before the battle of Malvern Hill, and while a captive, he and his companions heard a report that McClellan was planning n surrender of the army. .-Nothing could exceed the anguißh of his heart when he was told of that rumor, for he felt thatthere might be truth in it. His opinion was that, if our army had been re inforced by ten thousand men, we would have taken Richmond, providing we had a good general. [Ap plause.] The losses of. the rebels, at Malvern Hill, was stated by several competent officers, whom the Bpeaker had met in Richmond, to be greater.than, our losses altogether during the campaign. There was no. joy .in Richmond during that siege. Every where one might see misery, degradation, fear, and terror. Dr. Marks expressed a lively hope for the future of our country, and concluded with a eulogy of our army, and its noble efforts everywhere to crush the forces opposed to it.

Philadelphia, April 20, 1863. , There was a general disposition to sell gold to-day, wfcich caused a downward movement of the price. Open ing at 151, it /ell off gradually to 148%', with a heavy market. To-what causes this is due, in tire face of our Jack of military success, rs perhaps hard So say. The continued success of Government loans, the varying prospects of the New York hill against loans, and the promise of immediate movements by our armies, all have an effect on the side of the*Bears, who are hard- at work —th e most active and extensive of whom fe,- per haps, the Government. Old certificates of indebtedness rose K per cent., being now worth IDIK a 102. Sixes of 1881 are strong at 105. April and October seven-thirties at 104# a 105. Money continues to exhibit the same ovexfullness as character ized it during last week. Subscriptions to the new national five-twenty sixes ex ceeded one million dollars to-day up- to 4 o’clock P. M. We hear frequent complaints of the notice that has been given that the right to convert the legal-tenders into flve-twentie6 will cease on.the Ist of July, 1883. Section 3 of the loan act of 1863 says: And the holders of United States notes* issued under and by virtue of said acts shall present thc*same for the purpose of exchanging the same for bonds.-as'herein pro vided, on or before cbe first day of July, 1863. and there after the rights© to exchange the same shall, cease and determine. ” The stock market was active, with prices looking up ward.

' One of the moat interesting Sunday-school occa sions that we have witnessed for a longtime, was thefourth anniversary of schools connected with, the Church of the Holy Trinity, at Walnut street and Rittenhouse on Sunday afternoon, at half past four o’clock. The magnificent church edi fice in which it was held was crowded to overflow ing, and the scene presented, as the hundreds of well-dressed juveniles entered the church and took their seats, accompanied by their respective teach ers, was beautiful—the happy faces of the children forming a fitting counterpart to the. glories of the day without. The scholars of these admirably-conducted schools now number in the aggregate 755. Of this large . number, the Main. SchooLCwhich is under the super intendence of Lemuel Coffin, Esq.,), numbers 358 scholars and 39 teachers; the Infant Schools for boys and girls, 187 scholars and 1 teacher. Besides these, there are Bible classes; those held in the morning being for young men and young women, and number-45 scholars, presided over by 3 teachers*; and thoßein the afternoon numbering 170 scholars, men and women, conducted by 2 teachers. The exercises were commenced with an anthem, sung by the excellent, we may say powerful, choir of this church, at the close of which prayer was con ducted by the rector. Rev. Phillips Brooks,'the children kneeling. The hymn, commencing. “ Watch man,tell us of the night,” was then sung by the schools. The Psalter was next read responsively, the rector beginning, “ Great is our Lord, and great is His power,” the congregation responding " Yea,* and His wisdom is infinite,” &c. Another hymn was .then sung; .which was followed by a Lesson from the Scriptures, the deeply-interesting and instructive passage from 2d King, sth chapter, containing the history" of the healing.of : Haaman,Jheieper, having been selected. After another hymn, sungin exceiient otyle by the schools, the sermon for the occasion was delivered by the Rev.Mr..Brooks. The sermon was founded on a passage from- Scripture, which he read, to wit: “ Thy.stiydiUivent nowhither The incidents of this passage were, admirably wrought up by the, preacher, in order to make a profitable impression, upon the minds of hiß youthful hearers. The lie of." Gehazi had been fearfully punished. There were, he said, a great many people in the world who spent their life in “going noiohilher.” The evils of such a purposeless course were then defined and dwelt upon. He used, among other illustrations; two ships at sea meeting, when, in reply to the usual question, “ Whither bound l” the answer should be “No where!” Either such an answer would ' be a lie, or the captain of the ship making such a reply must be a fool. The same application was made to the meeting of the soldiers and officers of an army. And if these things were true on the sea and in the army, how much more true and im portant was it in its application to the sea and battle ground of human life! Lite should be spent in the proper and full use of all the faculties and senses with which God has endowed us,and in this way could life alone be ennobled. The parable of the “ talents’* was employed in this connection to illustrate the importance of using what we possess with a viewto increasing it, otherwise the shame would be visited upon the negligent which was pronounced upon the faithless steward in the Scriptures. Yes, it is the duty of every one to be going some where } an& doing somethingv All nature taught us a lesson in this respect. If he put his ear down to the trunk of a tree, it seemed as if he could hear the sap going forward in its delicate channels for a grand and good purpose. The water brook was hurrying on, fulfilling its mission ; even every sunbeam and rain-drop was “going somewhither,” and doing some good.
