“the army is in tine condition.”
The Polish committee in Paris is'endeavoring to
obtain a loan of two million, dollars. The Polish
emigrants in the French capita! have supplied con

at the'Easter fdtes, ihe. most fruitful this year has
been that for the insurrection. More than one hun

in this way. A particular mark has distinguished
the box destined lor this collection, anti the persons
who come :to the church recognize it at once. In

Oil tile Banks ol the Rubicon.
The Democracy of Berks have arrived at
the banks of the Rubicon, and our gallant
and dignified friend, Mr. J. Glancy Jones,
finds himself another Some time
since the officers of the law discovered a
treasonable organization in Berks county,
arrested a nuinber of the members, and held
them to bail. It was a very, simple matter,
and perfectly in accordance -with the law.
Ir.f J. Glancy Jones, himself, came to
Philadelphia, and. after seeing the ease
fairly tried, returned home. He received
cveiy (fourtesy, and, his clients every
favor they requested. They were even re
leased on their own recognizance. The
matter became a question of law, and
people said no more about it. It was
not so with our Berks county CjEsar. He.:
obtained his fee—he did liis duty—he de
meaned himself with all the deportment of
Mr. Turveydrop, his great original; and, on
returning.to Berks county, he called a meet
ing, made a speech; and offered a series of
resolutions, which were adopted. We need
not inform our ; readers that Mr. J. Glancy
Jokes is one of the most insignificant crea
tures in the modern Democratic
.'.that, jinder ordinary circumstances, we
: should nofiniention his name, except among
the new' arrivals at our hotels. But, at
this time, Mr. Jones has forced himself
.upon us in a very prominent position—and
we speak of him not as himself alone, but
as the leader of abold and audacious party.
These resolutions we have not space
enough to print, but the spirit of them may
be very briefly stated. After reciting the
arrest of Huber and his fellows, the authors
say: ■
I. “We will not submit to nor tolerate
the. slightest encroachments upon our rights
and privileges'; such attempts will meet with
our resistance at all hazards and regardless
of consequences,"
11. “ Secret societies, political or other
wise, are not in themselves in violation of
the Constitution and laws.”
111. “If the Government, for political
purposes, fails to render [these secret socie
ties] that aid, we pledge ourselves to furnish
%t to the best of our power."
IV. “ That, if secret political societies
have recently been organized among us, it
is to he presumed they are for no other pur
pose than the protection of their rights against
unlawful arrest or the execution of unconsli
tuiiondilaws."
Y. “ That resistance by force to an inva
sion of our personal freedom is a virtue !
and if the insane thieatof a distinguished
military chieftain, . . . . . to put his heels
upon the necks of Northern men, be attempt
ed to be carried out, we promise him.a.ju>anrr
receplion."i
- VI: “‘We recommend open organizations
. .... to resist every encroachment upon
our. personal rights and freedom guaranteed
by that instrument and those laws.”
VII. “ We do not approve of this war as at
present conducted. We never did approve of
it in itself, but accepted it in preference to
disunion, anarchy, and despotism.”
This is the platform of Berks county as
Mr. Jones and Mr. Clymeb expound it.
It 'will he observed by the reader that the
Democrats of Berks county have formed
into secret political societies ; that they have
determined to resist.by force the act,of
conscription; that if the Government at
tempts to suppress any of the secret socie
ties, Mr, Jones and his friends will use force
to p r °tect them; that the object of these
societies is to organize opposition to the
Government; that if. the new provost mar
shals attempt to - suppress treason “they
will meetiwith a warm reception 'that or
ganizations are to be formed everywhere to
oppose the law ; that the. Democracy do
not approve of the war, and they never did
approve of it in itself i” In short, we are to
have,‘lf the Democracy-of Berks can pro
duce it, anarchy and civil war in the North.
In reply to these gentlemen we have few
words to say. They openly avow their pur
pose to be open, violent, and unceasing.
enmity to the Administration. We say to
them, thatjif, .these gentlemen attempt to
carry ,oift ' these wild threats—it, in’ other
WOrds; 'theysattempt to cross the Rubicon;
beside whose fearful waters they arc
halting, they will be subdued and pu
nished. -They might as well understand
this now. as in time to come. So long as
Mr. Jones and his friends confine tlic.ir sen
timents to speeches, it is very well. We
can afford to look upon them witli contempt.
They are soldiers of discretion, and the, Go
vernment need have no apprehension from
their valor. We speak to their followers—
.to the honest, brave, and misguided;: men
who do not see in Mr. Jones, a political
charlatan, nor in Mr. Clymer an aspiring
and unscrupulous demagogue. We tell
them the laws must be observed. These laws
are-just and necessary. They have been
demanded by the public safety. They are
constitutional. They look to the strength
and salvation of the country. Their
execution is the duty of the Administration.
Congress has given the President power.
Thatipowcr will be exercised, no matter
what responsibility it entails. Any-other
course would manifest weakness and dis
honor. The President: has sworn an oath,
and he will respect it. If the people of
Berks array themselves against the Govern
ment they become traitors, and must expect
the.traitors’ fate. ' ."
What a simple thing this is ; and what
folly and madness for these people to bring
disgrace upon themselves, by avowing such
treason! They have gone far enough. We
beg them to reflect. We admonish them of
their duty as good citizens. If, however,
they cross this: Rubicon, and persist in the
Wild and terrible course marked out, then
upon themselves be the shame; the sorrow,
and the humiliation that will; surely follow'.
Democratic Chivalry.
The editorof the New York World would
seem to have at last arrived at a most con
genial level of recklessness. After cnlumni
ating loyal men, abusing the President'with
out cause and without stint;-and inciting to
anarchy and defiance of the laws'; after
doing the basest offices of Mr. Fernando
Wood, and becoming a willing slave to the
worst sentiments of tlie so-called' Demo
cratic party, but one thing else remained
for him to do—and that is, to attack a wo
man. In abusing the Government which
protects him, tlie editor of the World ,divests
'himself of every claim to patriotic feeling;
but in abusing a lady who has never done
him wrong, and whose only crime is an out
spoken expression of fidelity to that Go vern
ment, lie relinquishes all claim to the con
sideration of gentlemen. The last'subject
'of ,hls' abuse '.is, Miss. Anna,E. Dickinson,
a young lady of Philadelphia who lias lately
felt herself called upon to take part in dis
cussing the social and political questions-of
the day, and who, in the course of a recent
speech, in .New York city, took occasion to
comment severely upon the enemies of the
country and the friends of the New York
• World. - ' ...
So far as the propriety Of Miss Dickin
son’s appearance before the public as a
speaker is concerned, we may simply remark
that to her it is a question of conscience—to
us a question Of taste.- We may look upon
it as questionable taste ; but we are glad to
do Miss Dickinson the justice to say that
she has accepted her self-imposed task as an
obligation of duty ; and that, in giving her
talents to the cause of the country, she has
followed what seemed to her to be a holy
and conscientious mission. If the (HvMliad
simply contented itself with expressing its
disapprobation of Miss Dickinson’s appear
ance before a public audience, we should
have nothing to say; but it sees fit to .ex
press its criticism in virulent and unjust
language. It speaks of'this lady as “one
divested of the grace of her sex,” and
“stripped of the gentleness, and charity,
and pure-mindedness of womanand her
speech is spoken of as an “ exhibition which
no woman of refinement and no man of good
sense could witness without blushing for their
kind.” MissDiciaNsoN’s. allusions to.some
of our generals are spoken of as “ indecencies:
of speech which would have disgraced .a
pot-house brawler of the other sex.” • And
then we have this hitter and malignant
sentence,. which no gentleman would de
scend to utter : “There were, as might have
been expected, the coarse ribaldry of men
uttered with the volubility of a woman;
the thousand-times-refuted slanders of cam-:
paign orators, reasserted with feminine ef
frontery ; the hack arguments of male poli
ticians, reiterated in tones an octave higher;
fiie falsehoods of the wav committee set off
with the sneers of a virago."
;■ We express no opinion upon the propriety
of impropriety of Miss Dickinson’s ap
pearance upon the stage of Cooper Institute.
That is a matter' ‘which must rest with' her'
own moral sense and judgment; and if. she
finds herself called upon to take a position
before the world Which is unusual to her
' sex, surely there; is-nothing in this fact to
release the • World from : the obligation of
treating such self-sacrificing conduct with
consideration, respect; and kindness. Mfss
Dickinson -is a young girl; she comes from
a highly respectable family of the Society of
Friends, and, until within a recent period
has led a life of retirement. Like most of
her people, she is a strict; and conscientious
opponent of slavery. She entered into this
struggle without ahope of personal remunera
tion, although we may be permitted to say,
that her circumstances might have justified
her in assuming a-more ambitions course.
Belonging ’to a sect which recognizes the
propriety of ladies speaking in public before
their assemblies, then - meetings, and their
' convocations; Jliss Dickinson early learned
to regard the platform and the forum as
coming legitimately within the sphere of her
sex. Some two or three years since she
attended a convention of the anti-slavery
society, then held at West Chester, and in
ffle course of the deliberations made a few
remarks relative to the cause she advocated.
Exhibiting in this, her first appearance, so
much taste, modesty, and feeling, and adding
youth and beauty to genius and energy of
purpose, she became at once an acknow
ledged leader in the anti-slavery societies of
our State. She continued to live a plain,
domestic life, occasionally making addresses
before these societies, and always defending
the cause she had so warmly espoused. More
recently, thrown by an accident into the
campaign in Connecticut, she achieved by
her remarkable success in that State a
national reputation.
What is there in all this to excite the
acrimony of the New York World? .What
has Miss Dickinson done to call upon her
name the unmanly denunciations of this
angry editor ? Why should he wantonly
assail her in language whith no gentleman
of sensitive honor would permit himself to
use ? In other words, why should he meanly
take advantage of her gentle woman-sex to
step beyond not merely thtf proprieties of
his profession, hut the simplest courtesies of
social-life? Assaults like "these can-never
injure Miss Dickinson; for, while many
people may ..disagree with her' sentiments,
and disapprove her manner of proclaiming
them, the world at large can have but one
opinion of a journalist who takes advantage
of his anonymous position to iracluce and
vilify a devoted, pure, and high-minded
woman.
The late Dr. Darlington,
The death of Dr. William Darlington,
which occurred at West Chester' on. Wed-,
nesday morning last, has already been an
nounced in these columns. A sketch of the
life and eminent services of the deceased is,
perhaps, the fittest tribute that could be paid
to his memory. He was born in Birming
ham township, Chester county, in 1782, and
until his eighteenth year engaged in the
pursuit of agriculture, acquiring in his leisure
hours a fair English education. In 1800 he
commenced to study medicine,; under the
tuition of Dr. John Vatjghan, of Wilming
ton, Delaware, and four years after graduated
with the title of M. D., at the University of
Pennsylvania in this city. In 180 G-7 he
made a voyage to India as surgeon of
a vessel, and returned with an enlarged
and ripened experience in the prac
tice of. his profession, which secured
him an extended reputation and numerous
connections. During the last forty-four
years he filled several important positions
of trust under the General Government, as
well as that of’the State.: The degree of
LL. D. was conferred upon bin/ by Yale
(College, He was president of the Bank of
iChcster county until kiß death—a period of
imorc than thirty years. Dr. Darlington
ihad.devoted a large portion of his life to the
study of botany, his favorite science, gin
which he acquired a vast fund of informa
|tion. ..-He'likewise attained considerable ce
lebrity as an author. In 1804 he published
his “Mutual Influence of Habits and Dis
ease." In 1826 his most successful work,
“Pfora Cestrica,” appeared, and passed to
three editions. It was favorably noticed by the
greatest botanists of Europe, and established
its author in the front rank of American
scholars. In 1,843 he revised and published
‘ ‘ Reliquiae Bald winise, ” and four years after
ward issued his “Agricultural Botany.”
In 1849 he gave to the public “Memorials
of Jobn Barton and Humphrey Marshall. 1 ’
These were the principal works which gave
hipi transatlantic fame, and most of them
Were favorably reviewed in the foreign jour
nals Of agricultural science. In addition to
his varied scientific and literary attainments,
Dr. Darlington was a decided politician,
and during the Administration of General
Jackson was a prominent candidate before
the Legislature of this State for the position
of United States Senator, ‘being defeated
by very few votes. During the existence of
the Whig-party he took an active part
in support, of its principles, but soon after
its death he retired from the political field.
It is gratifying to know that during all this
war, and until the day of his death, he was
a firm friend of the Administration. Al
though during the latter years of his vene
rable life, engaged as be was in quiet study,
lie was precluded "from any prominent ex
pression. of his sentiments, lie was always
true to the Union. In the county of Ches
ter no one was more respected, and no one
will be more lamented. As a gentleman, a
scholar, and a patriot, be was among the
first, and though, in the course ; of years,
the time had come for him to die, we cannot
hut look upon his death as a great loss to
our State and country.
liord' Palmerston.
Judging from the number of inquiries
which reach us r especting him, Lord Pal-/
merston is an object of interest to nume
rous persons in this country. To save
trouble, and gratify curiosity, we shall con
dense, into a few sentences, the leading
points of his'personality. We beg to state,
therefore, that Henry JonN Temple, third
Viscount Palmerston, succeeded his father,
lire second Viscount, in 1802. He is an
Englishman, born at Broadlands, Romsey,
Hampshire, on the 20th October, 1784. The
title, which is Irish, was created'in 1722.
He was educated at Harrow, at the Univer
sity of Edinburgh,-and at St. John’s Col
lege, Cambridge. lie first took office, as '
junior Lord of the Admiralty, in 1807. His,
father followed no business; being a Peer*
who lived on bis private fortune.
LITTER FROM "OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, April 24, 1863.
The consistency witli which the Adminis
tration develops .its policy of emancipation
excites great gratification throughout the
country; Those who thought Mt. Lincoln
merely intended his proclamation as a “ bull
against the comet” will find the best proof
of their folly in what we now see. Eman
cipation is a policy, and the whole power of
the Government is exerted to sustain it. In
the army and navy, and in the civil ways of
the Government, we. seethe negro protected,
and his capacities employed. His slavery
' becomes, freedom by the crimes of those
who'held him. in slavery. A great moral
principle is defended, because the enemies of
that .principle'made its defence the necessity
-"of national self-preservation. We have what
every • contest must have— a cause. It. is
Liberty. We call it Union, but Union is
consolidated Liberty. It is Liberty and
Power, Truth and Justice, and Humanity
and ; Law, strengthened,- dignified, em
bossed with Power. It is an Idea. Not an
Idea run wild like the French Revolution,
ripening into anarchy, thirsting for blood,
destroying valor, genius, beauty, virtue,
faith—like the desolating tempest which
carries death in its van, and brings life in
its train—but the ripened fruit of this pro
gressive and advancing age. The negro is
not the effect; he is not the cause. He is
the illustration of a truth. The proclama
tion of emancipation is but the proclamation
of a truth, and those who, persecute the
negro because he is unfortunate and depend
ent, forget that they merely rail at [lnfinity,
and make war upon the Providence of Qod
by abusing liis helpless creatures. They
curse the waters and vainly hid the waves
stand still. If the President had-been ter
rified by these people—if the clamors of am
bitious men had stifled the calm and con
sistent vbice of virtue—then, instead of being
the leader of the Republic, he would have
become the slave and the victim of its ene
mies ; he would have been the great coward
of .history, and, instead of living among the
immortal names that the world forever
blesses,,be thrown into the fosse of history
amid the ashes and lime.:
The constancy of the Administration
amid the noise and enmity of-audacious men
is a noble thing to sec. It is leading public
opinion, and in this question of Liberty is
the embodiment of the people’s innermost
and truest thought. It is the Conscience of
the nation. Speak as you will of men and
measures, successes and failures, what has
been, or what might have been; mourn, smile,
criticise, or destroy, we are nothing hut the
instruments of the Providence who ordains
all things, well. We change our opinions,
hut the philosophy that leads us comes from'
above, and we follow it. It is profitable to
study these changes, for then we see that
the most perfect philosophy is that which
finds the same simple causes moving the
hearts of men, and developing the career of
nations. The nation is but a man, with the
attributes of manhood, subject to the same
impulses, governed by the same laws, liable
to the same fate. - A man is perfect when
he exhibits honor, truth, faith, and coinage.
A nation is perfect when its laws arc just
and comprehensive—when liberty dwells
with law, and security accompanies strength.
The form is a question of' taste—we aim at the
substance. Monarchy springs from-the
weakness of the lower classes. It dazzles
and drives them.; It controls.ignorance, re
presses prejudice, flatters ambition, and
.adorns power in robes of fine linen. In a
monarchy the governing class lives by the
exhaustion of the governed. It was so in
France. The people of France accepted
Liberty, but it became fanaticism; it was
drowned in the blood of its own revolution,
and the nation itself shrank from its Own
Tide of Terror and took shelter under-the
imperial robes of Napoleon. The dread of
1793 gave Napoleon IH, in 1851, an easy
empire. The errors of France, and the er
rors of all the world, are examples to us, and
we shall emerge from this contest a Re
public-strong in ourselves—strong against
others—combining a liberty that blesses and
embraces all—with the strength that can defy
tyranny and rebellion and aid liberty every
where.
I see in the calm, unshrinking, constant
course of Mr. Lincoln the best evidence of
the truth and the hope that I have endea
vored to express, and that now dwell in the
breasts of all loyal men. He wrote Liberty
upon our banners, and there it will remain
forever. This war—this blood—these con
flicts and battles—the enmity and envy that
Europe sends with calumniating breath
over the heedless seas—these struggles witli
one another—this devotion that is so diffi
cult at times to maintain, but sweet to
cherish, and precious among the memories
that we leave to our children—this realiza
tion of more than Spartan firmness, and
more than Roman glory —wc welcome and
rejoice in these, for they immortalize the
present and glorify the future. Let us honor
the Administration for having remained so
tiue to these principles, and, sustained by the
people, let us hope that its constancy may
continue to the end. Occasional.

Indian Massacre on the -Overland Route*
The Rocky Mountain News of April 9th says:
Hon. Gordon N. Mott, Federal judge,' the newly
elected delegate to Congress from Nevada Territory,
giveß,the JolldWing particulars of a most horrible
Indiau massacre and remarkable escape on the
route west of Salt Lake. Judge Mott left Carson
City on the coach that arrived here on Tuesday
evening last, and was the only passenger to Reese
river, where an old gentleman, named Leverison,
and bis two sons, aged respectively twelve and four
teen years, got in, bound for their home in lowa.
On Sunday, the 22d ultimo, when approaching a
station eight miles west of Deep creek, one hundred
and sixty miles beyond Salt Lake City, it was dis
covered that the house was fired and surrounded by
Indians. The driver reined his team in toward its
usual stopping place until quite near, when some
thing excited his suspicion, and he turned back into
the road.
At the Bame moment the Indians opened fire
upon the coach, discharging some six or eight rifle
shots and a perfect shower of arrows. Judge Mott
and the two boyß were at the time in the coach,
with the curtains close buttoned down. The other
passenger was on the box beßide the driver. After
going about half a mile, the driver called to Judge
Mott to come to his assistance, which he did, open
ing the curtains and climbing around on the box.
There a horrible sight met his view. The passen
ger shot through the head, and had fallen down
into the boot, while blood and brains were bespat
j tered over the entire front part of the coach. The
driver was shot through the body in the region of
\the heart, but still manfully performed his duty.
IJudge Mott assisted the driver down into the boot
[under the seat, where he continued to assist and
ladvise the management of the team until he died,
which was less than half an hour.
1 The race now became one of life and death. The
Indians were in pursuit, some afoot and some on
horseback, firing as long and as far as they had any
hope of hitting the coach, but at the end of half a
iozen miles the impromptu driver had the satis
faction of seeing the last one fade from sight in the
[distance. At the end of eight miles is Deep Creek
ptatien, but when it came in sight a new alarm pre
sented itself. A herd ot animals were on the plain
near by, which the Judge took to be Indiau ponies,
>nd supposed that their ownerawere lying in wait
it that station also. He determined to cut three of
the horses outofthe traces, put the boys on two of
pena the third himself, when he was
ntisfied that they could outrun any Indians.
] Having got all in readiness, opened his knife, and
©mmunicated his plan to the boys, he told them to
as loud as they could, thinking thereby to
nake the occupants of the house show themselves.
-The ruse was successful, as a dozen white men made
tleir appearance, and the coach was driven up and
dmvered into their care. The driver was found to
byleadjbut the other man was still alive up to the
tipe Judge Mott left, which was near twenty-four
huirs after, although his brains were oozing from
•tte wounds in the top of his head. It was subse
quently learned that the Indians had killed, strip
pa, and scalped two men at the station before the
• coich came up.
. Vf® telegraph was at once put in requisition, and
: in in hour or two- troops were moving eastward
frof-Ruby valley, and westward from Salt Lake,
tovnrd the scene of the tragedy. There was a fair
probability that the Indians would be overtaken
andlpunißhed. The arrows, many of which were
sticling in the coach, were pronounced Shoshone
arrays.

Tiie Affairs of the Nation as Viewed
by Mr. Fred. Douglass.—Last evening a fair at-'
tendance, chiefly of colored people, greeted Mr. Fre
derick j Douglaas at National Hall, where he dis
coursed upon the “ Affairs of the Nation.” The lec
* , r -VV. RB under the auspices of “ The
Aiutoni Association: of the Institute for Colored
Youth The Affairs of the Nation ” included
everything bearing upon the interest and welfare of
tbe and every topic suggested by the
current events of the day was made subservient to
tbe disoussipn of the negro’B fights and wrongs his
past of degradation, and his future of glory ’The
style of Mr. Douglass’ speech was slightly pleasant,
though at times languid and drooping. Occasionally
he fired up and electrified his hearers by startling
theories and announcements, which were forcibly
set forth On the whole, he is not,
however, calculated to. stir up much .enthusiasm by
his oratory, but bis fame gives his opinions im
portance with his own. race, and obtains a respect
ful hearing from his white admirer's.
His lecture was intended to show to what im
portance recent events had elevated the negro race.
The term “negro” had assumed a vast significance
of late; The negro question had forced itself iri this
war, and it refuses to .be smothered by ail the ap
pliances of the politicians. The negro is still promi
nent. What shall be done with the negro 1 was a
question urged in the pulpit; in the hailß of legis
lation, and jn diplomatic correspondence; The quee-.
tion was agitated before the war, has been agitated
during the war. And„wUl, agitated after the
wai, unless it be settled on the principles “of
right and justise. The question must be settled on
Buch a basis that neither the winds nor the flood can
affect it in future ; time.; ; That -basis is the adoption
into the great family of America the entire negro
race. Make us, black and white, one Give us all
the civil and political liberty enjoyed by the white
people, said Mr. Douglass; This is the only solid
aDd final solution of the negro question. The prospe
rity of the nation demands this. The negro and the
nation must survive and perish together. Save the
negro, and you save the nation Destroy the ne»ro,
and you destroy thenation. [Applause.] Take the
negro into the national family, and in that way only
can we have peace. Mr. Douglass looked at this
question in the light of abstract justice.
The nation’s great mistake has been in dealing
with tbe negro question Bimply as one of policy.
-That policy dictated sixty yearn of compromises.
Under the influences of these compromises, the
slave power had bfcome arrogant, until at‘last,-it
developed the most stupendous . war of history.
Ihe speaker reviewed at length the various com
promises and policies adopted by the politicians
North and South, which had been hatched up from
time to time for the purpose of warding off the fate
impending over the nation because of its unjust
discriminations against the negro. He criticised
Ihe various theories to settle the slavery question,
so that-peace, might be vouchsafed to the country.
One theory was that all the negroes should be re-'
duced to the same level of slavery. This theory
would suit the Democratic party as it exists to-day.
Under such a system the liberty of the poor white
man waa.as much, in dangec,as.th*fc.of.the blacks.
Another theory,.that ,of colonization, met with no
endorsement either from the speaker or the
audience. The colonization scheme he held
to be little better than a dram.' How the
Degroes could be got to Africa—there’s the
rub, and it will continue to be the rub. [Laughter.]
Africa was not his native country, but the United
States wsb, and here he would remain. [Applause.]
The Southern negro ruled the industry of other na
ttons,-for- the starvation of Lancashire, and other
cities of Europe, waß owing to a stoppage of work
by tbe negro cotton growers. Some persons pre
dicted that anothertheory for the. settlement of the
negro question would soon be trumped up—a war of
extermination against the black race. This was also
discussed, and its horrors duly depicted. The last
and ODly theory for the settlement of the question
was one of justice. Let the American statesman
learn that the sooner he removes all obstacles in the
way of the negro’s advancement, the better for the
prosperity of the land. Admit him to all rights of
citizenship, and then you will have reached the acme
of statesmanship. This theory, and this only, would
insure peace.
Lot-holders of Woodlands Cemetery
Meeting.— An adjourned meeting was held last
evening in the Board of Trade room.
Dr, Kennedy, president, took the chair shortly
after 8 o’clock. The president stated that the for
mermeeting had adjourned subject to his call; since
that time new points have arisen that seem, to re
quire some consideration. r The committee to pro
cure the repeal of the obnoxious law complained of
by the lot-holders reported that the said law had
been repealed.
The'report closed with three resolutions, as fol
lows:
First, That the meeting organize itself into an
association, to be called the Association of the Lot
holders of the Woodlands Cemetery.
Second, That a committee be appointed to frame
a code of by-laws for toe government of the associa
tion aforesaid, and to report to this body. '
Third,-That a committee be appointed to confer
with the Board of Managers concerning the general
interests of the company.
Mr. Dallet desired to say, in the absence of the
chairman of the committee, that when the wants of
the lot-holders were made known, the members of the
Legislature expressed a cheerful willingness to re
peal it. This much, he thought, was due to the
members of the Legislature.
The first two resolutions were unanimously agreed
to, and the last one was postponed until the asso
ciation shall be organized. '
A Mr. Smith opposed the postponement,- and
said that the resolution ought to- pass at = once,
because we do not come here to legislate for money,
but for the dead. He had a father, a mother,
a sister, and brother in that* ground, and he
would now head a list with one hundred dollars,
ratherthan the dead should bedisturbed.
At the last meeting a-lotholder stated that he did ‘
not know anything about the movements of the -
Board of Managers, and yet that-very lot-holder held
ground in the cemetery that he had already sold at
a great profit. Let us ,meet this close corporation
and show its members • that we own the property,
and that the managers do not. These managers
would grind the very bones of the dead and sell
the dust for gain; It is time it was stopped. I have
had my deeds recorded ; let all the other lot-holders
go and do the Bame, and we will show thiß close cor
poration that they cannot sell away our rights.-
• Smith said that he simply desired the
consideration’of the postponed until we
shall have organized into an association. Then we
will have a thorough organization to represent.
The resolution was postponed.
The following named gentlemen were appointed
as the committee to prepare a code of by-laws:
Messrs., Dallet, Buzby, McAllister, Orme, and
Kennedy.
On motion, the secretary was requested to have
prepared a list of the lot-holders.
The question now arose as to how he was to get
them. -
It was suggested that the books of the company
would be valuable to effect the object.
Mr. Dallet suggested that his name may not be
found on the books, as he held his lot by inherit
ance. There may be others similarly situated.
- Mr. Smith suggested that the books are held by
of the close corporators, and may not be correct.
T-he ( l^ e . a^on was finally decided that the secretary
shall officially notify the lot-holders by circular, and
also publish the time when the next meeting.is to be
held.
A gentleman desired to know what rights the lot
holders had in the cemetery. He would like to hear
a short history of the Woodlands Cemetery, since it
came into the hands of Messrs. Price and Bringhurst,
' Another gentleman, replied that a wealthy lot
holder, who had gone to considerable expense in
improving his lot, called upon Mr. Price to obtain
the same information. Mr. Price replied the lot
holders bad no rights, as the company was a close
corporation. * . ‘
There was no other business of any importance
transacted. The next meeting will be held pur
suant to a call to be issued by the committee on by
laws. J
CITY ITEMS.
Ret. A. Ritteniiouse.—lt will be seen
by reference to the appointments made at the late
.Conference of the M. E. Church at Westchester,
that this young and eloquent preacher has been re
turned to the new charge at Broad and Arch streets,
called the “Arch* street M. E. Church.” We ob
serve by the “ Annual ltecord ” for the year 1862,
(which, by the way, is a new feature in church
organizations, and is certainly commendable), a corn*
plete statement of the work, and a catalogue of the
members of the Churchia given. They have a mem
bership now of 106, and have contributed during the
year $1,086.47 for benevolent purposes alone, and
sustained every department of the Church hand
somely. . It is expected that before long this little
nucleus will erect a fine structure on that beautiful
thoroughfare of the West End.
Concert of Sacred Music.—We in
vite the attention of our readers to,a Concert of
Sacred Music, to be given at Handel and Haydn
Hall, on Monday, evening next, in aid of the general
Fund of the Rev. George W. Smiley’s congregation,
which worship regularly in that hall. A number of
the best amateur vocalists in Philadelphia have
volunteered their services on this occasion, and the
programme has been arranged with judgment and
taste. The concert will be given under the con
ductorship of Jour respected fellow-citizen, R. T.
White, Esq., (who haß done much for the entertain
ment and happiness of thersoldiera in our hospitals,
during the past winter, by his self-sacrificing efforts
in their behalf,) and Professor H; A. Clark will
officiate ; .at the piano. We can promise all who
attend this concert an agreeable entertainment, and
wedoubt not it will attract a large audience.
A Business Change.—By reference to
an advertisement in another column of our paper
this morning, it will be seen that the well-known
old house of Arnold & Wilson, No. 1010 Chestnut
street, will be conducted in future by Mr. W. A. Ar
nold alone, the dissolution of partnership, between
him.and Mr. Wilson having taken place on the 2d of
March. Of the distinctive character of this house
we have already spoken, and will merely add here,
for the information of those not familiar with the
fact, that the stock of Mr. Arnold embraces the best
line of Heating Furnaces, Cooking Ranges, Low
down and Common Grates, Registers, Ventilators,
and Enamelled Slate Mantels, in this country. In
view of the change above referred to, Mr. Arnold
haß now in progress, and nearly completed, several
important and desirable improvements in his ware
house, and from a glance at his immense stock of the
various styles of goods above enumerated, he is evi
dently determined to maintain the reputation of the
house. Being among the largest manufacturers of
this class of goods, and having long devoted himself
to furnishing for the public the most perFect and
scientific articles in this line,-Mr. Arnold is prepared
•to offer inducements to, builders and others that
should not be overlooked. For these reasons a num
ber of the principal public institutions in our State
have been* furnished entirely from thiß establish
ment. We would particularly call attention in this
connection to hiß “ Chilson’s Patent Cone and Ven
tilating Furnaces,” and “PatentDouble-ovenCook
ing Ranges,” neither of which has its equal in the
world for convenience, economy, and efficiency. Hia
celebrated “ Hot-air Registers and Ventilators,” of
Emerson’s Patent, are also growing into general
favor; and his stock of splendid Enamelled Slate
Mantels is unsurpassed in this country or Europe.
A Bandsome Improvement.— The five
hundred, or probably more neai'ly a . thousand, gen
tlemen who during-each day visit the popular
Dining Saloons of Mr. J. W. Price, southwest cor
oner of/ Chestnut and : Fourth : streotaj ; will have
observed :;the handsom®; new ; office introduced for
the use of Ma chief receiving clerk. The improve
meet is a 'decided convenience* as well as an orna
ment to this famous Pining Headquarters, and re
flects credit upon the taste liberality of Mr,
Price. We have long since-observed that every
want*of his patrons is studiously Anticipated. Every
seasonable novelty, whether in the animal or vege
table liae, adapted' for a first-daw table, And its
way into Price’s larder Jirstf and whea his various
dishes are served up—as they are by polite and
intelligent waiters—they are so adarirflß>ly adjusted
to the palate that.there in nothing left to be desired.
To our merchants and business menj generally, who
dine down town, Price has certainly made himself
indispensable.
A Popular Emporium of Art.—Of all
the leading centres of attraction in Philadelphia
where strangers moßt do congregate in “doing ”
the eights of our city, the popular Emporium of Art
of Messrs. Broad bent & Co., Nos. M 2, 914, and 916
Chestnut street, hAe, for some months past,. been
among the most prominent. There are-reasons for
this; Their exhibition gallery hsr one of the most
beautiful collections of pictures of “ the human face
divine” in this country; it is i always open free to
the inspection of viaitora,;Rnd for every grade of
pictures known to the Photographic Art, this ia the
place of all others in the United States to obtain
them in greatest beauty and perfection.
Kj&turking to Jerusalem-. — lt is said
that«large number of Jews are, gradually turning
their steps towards Jerusalem from-'different parts’
of Europe, and it is believed* that many more, from
this country,'■•would follow their example if they
thought that they could make more money in' sell-.
ing clothing, ribbons, and jewelry in Jerusalem than
in Cincinnati, New York, or Philadelphia. In the
meantime, it is a noticeable fact that Jews and Gen-*
tiles) who have an eye to business, patronize W. W>
Alter for their coal, at his-yard; Ninth street, above
Poplar, in preference to any other dealer. He Bella
the best coal; gives liberal weight, and charges
moderate prices.
The Weather and- Trade.—The
weather during the present week has been as
fickle as April. The little sprinkling, of sunohine,
however, which cheered its- intervals enlivened
business. . Thepopularold clothing house of Messrs
C. Somers A Son, No. 625- Chestnut street, under
Jayne’s Hall, has been.overwhelmed every day this
week with gentlemen, either selecting from their
magnificent stock of fashionable Spring Clothing or
leavinff_their_prdersand measurements to hav» «uxita
made up from their‘elegant fannes or unsir* own im
portation. _
Don’t Forget It.—How many loving
wives and happy.children, in giving papa the part
ing kiss this morning, will add the injunctive re-;
quest, “Don't forget to bring home with you a
bundle of E. G. Whitman &.Co.’s Confectionery!”
"We may add, that this is a very sensible and rea
sonable request, and the man who could either
willingly or accidentally fail to comply,with it de
serves to be sent back for a double quantity when
he leturns home this evening.. The Confections of
this, firm are recommended by physicians as the
purest made, and as harmleßß, when not eaten in
larger quantities than a pound a day, as bran bread
and forty cent butter. Their store is on Chestnut
street, below Fourth, next door to Adams & Co.’s
Express building. 1
A Great Shirt.— Persons who know
the inesiiihable luxury of a good-fitting shirt can
not be induced to wear any others than those cut by
J. F. Taggart, and sold at the Gents’ Furnishing
Store of Mr. George Grant, No. 610 Chestnut street.
A Tempting Display.—Mr. A. L. Vaii
sant, Ninth and Chestnut streets, leads more people
into temptation than probably any other individual
living; and if he does not employ exactly the same
fruit that was ÜBed in tempting Adam, he does so
with fiuits of ano less tempting character. He is
also reaping his reward. His Jim Crows, French and
American mixtures, bon-bons, taffies, and fine Con
fections of all kinds, are the choicest in the world.'
To-Day, at Oakford & Son’s, under the
Continental Hotel, will witness a busy scene, in cus
tomers supplying themselves with their elegant new
styles of Spring Hats and Caps for gentlemen and
youths.
Pure "Wines for Medicinal Purposes.
—The proprietors of the popular old grocery stand of
the late C. H. Mattson, Tenth and Arch, have now in
store a full line of Port, Sherry, and Madeira
wineß, of their own importation, of great age and
undoubted purity, expressly adapted for. medicinal
purposes.
Should the weather trove auspi
cious, which at this writing looks anything but pro
bable, hundreds of ladies will to-day. avail them
selves of examining the splendid assortment of new
and exquisite Spring Bonnets just got out by Wood
&• Cary, No. 725 Chestnut afreet.
A Fine assortment of Military
Goods, suitable for Army and Navy officers, Vill be
found at Oakford & Son’s, under the Continental
Hotel. - ;»
Children’s Hats.— -Ladies shopping for
Hats for Children’and Misßes will find the largest
“and most tasteful display of them at Wood & Cary’s,
No. 7 25 Chestnut street.
A" Valuable Property for Sale— We
invite the attention of those wishing to purchase a
valuable Farm to the Orphans’ Court sale of 128
Delaware county, in to-day’s issue of Tfie
Press, as one beautifully located, and desirable as a
residence or a safe and profitable investment.
~A sewing machine that will not embroi
der as well as stitch is but half a machine for family,
use. Grover & Baker’s celebrated machines, 730
Chestnut street, arc the only ones that possess these
two faculties of sewing and embroidering to per
fection.
Kight CouGn.—Persons who are troubled
with that - unpleasant tickling in the throat which
deprives them of rest night after night, by the inces
sant cough which it provokes, will,by taking “Brown?s.
Bronchial Troches,” find immediate relief.
The Tax-Payer's GrrDK: By Thome
son Westcott, op the Philadelphia Bar.—
This little work is one of the most useful publica
tions of the day, and especially adapted to the needs
of the whole community. Every man .engaged in
any kind of business is interested in it, and will find '
a copy as necessary to him as a Dictionary of the
English Language. Though condensed into a small
space, it comprehends everything that is necessary
to be understood by the hanker, the broker, the mer
chant, the manufacturer, the dealer, the speculator,
the mechanic, and the farmer—in a word, every
body. It treats of “The Excise Tax,” “The Li
cense Tax,” “The Stamp Tax,” and the laws in
force in relation thereto, with all the decisions of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue up to the
time of publication, and all arranged in alpha
betical order, so that any one can find just what he
wants in a moment’s time. For sale by A. Winch,
Philadelphia.
Low Steam for Domestic Purposes.—
The introduction of low steam for warming private
and public buildings has for some time engaged the
minds of inventors. The difficulties of cos t and the
means of regulating it have been overcome. The
advantages of this great discovery will be readily
comprehended by all intelligent minds. The mild
and equable warmth produced, and the sure means
of perfect ventilation secured, recommend this in
vention to the consideration of all persons having
charge of public institutions and their own house
holds, both as to health and economy. James P.
Wood, No, 41 South Fourth street, has opened his
establishment, and has one of “Gold’s Patent Im
proved Low-Steam and Hot-Water Apparatus ” in
operation, where he invites the public to call and
judge of its merits. A number of references to pri
vate families and public institutions can be given in
this city and elsewhere.
Something Neiy.— Dyott’s Patent “ O
K ” Coal Oil Burner for lighting without removing
the chimney. Call and examine it at M. B. Dyott’s,
No. 114 South Second street, corner of Carter, six
doors below Chestnut.
Fasting and Freezing.— The Nashville
Union is gratified to hear that President Lincoln's
proclamation for a Fast Day will be generally ob
served throughout the Southern. Confederacy. It is
believed that it will be more strictly observed there
than throughout the North. The “ Kebs ’’ will also
go in sack cloth where the'article . can be obtained,
while loyal men in the loyal States will enjoy all
the advantages of being abletoprocure elegant, and
comfprtable garments, at a reasonable_cost, at. the
Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill & Wilson;
Nos. 603, and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth. The
rebellion is as great a blunder in economy as it is a
crime in morals. _
The Fashions in Richmond.— Tlie wife
of a rebel officer writes, in a letter recently inter
cepted, concerning dress and partics*in the rebel
capital: - ‘
“A calico dress costs s36—that is $3 per yard;
white cottons $3 per yard; lawns and ginghams the
same. The ordinary merino or silk is $lOO ; a simple
bonnet $5O; a pair of ordinary three-dollar gaiters
$2O. Notwithstanding these prices, parties were
very numerous till Lent began. 55
Ab there is no mention made of the men’s attire,
it is more than probable that the gentlemen’s dress
was like the fashions reported in Alabama laßfc sum
mer: “hat, pair of spurs, and a stand-up collar.”
What a furore would the emigration create of Chas.
Stokes & Co.’s Ready-made Clothing Store, from
under the Continental, into the rebel capital, with
its first-class clothing, at the low prices they are at
present marked at l
A Toast. —Newspaper Borrowers—May
theirs be a life of single blessedneßH; may their path
be carpeted with cross-eyed snakes, and their nights
be haunted with kndek-kneed tom cats; and may
they never enjoy the exquisite pleasure of enrobing
themselves in the neat and substantial summer gar
ments manufactured at the popular one-price Cloth
ing Emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chest
nut street. 1 h
