&\t f) rrn. THURSDAY, APRIL 80, 1888, the national past. BY THK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, The Senate'of the United States, devoutly recognizing the supreme anthority and just government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, liaa, by ft resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for natioual prayer and humiliation: And 'whereas it is the duty of nations-, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to ,confess their sins and transgressions, in bumble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine lepentancewill lead to mercy and pardon, and to recog nize the.sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scrip t ures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord: And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjocted to punishments and chastisements in this world, may wo not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now deso lates the land, may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people ? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. : We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and. prosperity. We have grown iu numbers, wealth; and power as no other nation has ever grown; But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hind which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and en riched and strengthened us; and we have vainly ima gined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings ;were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated,with Unbroken success, we have become too self- sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming ard preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us I It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the . offended Power, to confess onr national sins, and to' pray for clemency and forgiveness. Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and folly concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate find set apart Thursday, the tOth day of April, 1863, as a day of national humilia tion, fasting, and prayer. And; tdo hereby request all the people to abßtain on that day from their ordinary secttlar pursuits; and to unite, at their several places of public worship, anil their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and. devoted to the humble discharge of the religious dutioi proper to that solemn occasion. All this beiug done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope, authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of tbe nation will be heard onliigh, and anßwered with bleisingp, no leas than the pardon of our national sins, and restoration of our now divided end suffering country to its farmer happy condi tion of unity and peace. In witness whereof, I have hereuuto set my hand, and caiu ed the seal of tho United States; to be affixed.

ABRA.HAM LINCOLN, By tie 'President: William H. Seward, Secretary of State. PHOOLAMATION BT HIS HONOR THE MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA. IT 'kercaa, Tlie President of the Uuited States, being moved thereto by the Federal Senate, has set apart THURSDAY next, the thirtieth day of April,-as a day of National humiliatLon.fasting and prayer; And Whereas, "We have cause, as.a poople, to take shame to ourselves before alt natious and before Almighty Gfd. that we have misused the civil blessings wherewith we have been signally favored, by setting at naught, the wisdom of our fathers, betraying the trust of self-government, winking at unfaithfulness and corruption in public places, and giving ourselves over to selfish ness and dis. regard of our privileges as citizens: THEREFORE, it us to earnestly, beseech Him that He will en lighten us hones*t discharge of bur duties as free men;'that He will keep steadfast within us a true devo* tion,to:OTir. country, to the confusion of all trgitorS and workers of sedition; that He will endue our rulers/with - wisdom and firmness, aud that He will lead our hosts and give them strength in the conflict, that they may prevail oyer all rebellion; andl do hereby call upon the people of this city to keep such appointed day by forego, ing their usual pursuits, closing their.p‘aces of employ meat, and presenting themselves after their respective manner of worship before the Most High God, that, ac knowledging his Supreme Power and the righteousness of the judgments that He has visited upon our land, we may implore Him mercifully to. withhold His correc tions from us, and to give ns welfare and peace through. the speedy overthrow of all who resist the lawful au thority of our National Government. In testimony whereof, I have set rnyhaud-a * i ' , ~ { r,. Pb^i fad yearofourLord one thousand eighthundred and sixty- ALEXANDER HENRY, TUB NBWS. Thu important announcement is made that the Army of the Potomac is at length in motion. On Monday at sunrise, heavy masses of artillery and other, troops were crossing the river. At what point the crossing was being made we do not know; but the Washington correspondent of the New York papers states that Hooker has made a feint of crossing at Kelly’s Ford up the river, and another at Port Royal down the river; “but,” sayß this cor respondent, ‘‘whether he will advance at one of these points or elsewhere, no one knows.” It was possible that the next retreat of the rebels—in con sequence of any formidable movement of Hooker— would be to the North Ann and Pamunkey rivers. The rebels, it was reported, were verjf strong near Fredericksburg, their force increased by new con scriptions. A balloon reconnoissance had seen thirty miles of camps along the railroads between that .place and Richmond. Hooker’s command is in the best spirits, and the nejw movement gives sign of determined enterprise, The raid into West .Yirgiriia has dwindled in its proportions, and from 8,000, at first reported, the rebel strength has waned to . 1,500 or 2,000, This is probable, as in most cases the force of the enemy has been greatly exaggerated. The advance of Imboden and Jenkins’ gangß of guerillas had been gallantly resisted by the troops of Coloner Mulligan, near Philippi, and Colonel Latham, near Buckhannon. At Kowleßburg it w§s reported that the rebels had been beaten by a not large force, perhaps Colonel Mulligan’s, who was said to have recaptured two field pieces in a brilliant charge. ' The foregoing seems to prove that the numbers of the rebels could not have been , great in any case. A fight also -oc curred at Shasburg, between a squadron of the 3d Virginia Cavalry, under Major McGee, and 400 of the rebels. The rebels were defeated, and lost 14 killed and wounded, and 25 prisoners. { From the Army of the Cumberland we learn.that Gen. Bragg has been reinforced, and that, impa tient of our advance, he will ; assume the offensive. The recent movements on the extreme rebel left, at MeMinnsville and elsewhere, were to annoy and injure the communications of the enemy. with his souice of supplies. There is no confirmation of the report that Bragg had been shot by Breckinridge, though there can be no doubt that much ill-feeling existed between* the two commanders. It iB re ported that Bragg has 75,000 men. Further advices discuss the probability of Charleston being again attacked. The latest ru-' mor, by way of New York, is the attack will be made on the 3d of May, when the spring-tides wil recur. All the monitors, except the Weehawken, had left Port Royal.. The health of the troops was , suffering somewhat from the warmth of the weather. Hebei deserters -report that new obstructions have' been placed in Charleston harbor, which will not allow the smallest craft to pass through. "What ever we may think of the probability of an attack, this is to be paid: The fleet of Dupont is anxious ! and ready; the Army of the South burufor. action. = The nation asks the ashes of Charleston as an ap peasing sacrifice, and Beauregard stands by his guns. The opinion has been that no attack would be made, but we have not heard the grounds on which this opinion has been based. The deserters-who have come in Gen. Rosecrana’ lines concur in stating that only the sternest mili tary discipline restrains the rebel troops from Ten nessee And Kentucky, from leaving ,the ranks in a, body. The mountains of Georgia and the Carolines are full of deserters and refugees from conscription, between whom, and the rebel authorities frequent encounters occur. Deserters’stories are doubtful,, but with this report rebel sympathizers in Nashville agree. Those'who refuse the oath, and are sent out of the lines, beg to be sent North, as their. Southern friends tell them that the South is going to ruin. Five hundred rebel officers, confined at Fort Dela warej are to be sent immediately to City Point for exchange. Amongthem is Gen. Churchill, to be exchanged for Gen. Willicti as soon as the prisoners reach Richmond. Gen. Stoughton’s release will be effieoted’at the Bame time. Thirty-five of our ex changed officers arrived at City Point Tuesday, from Richmond. The rank and file have all been exchanged. v We have an account of the bafctlejfought on Bear Creek, Alabama, on-the 18th inst., between a na* tional 'force from Corinth, under Gen. Dodge, and the rebel forces on the extreme left of Bragg’s army, guarding the valley of the Tennessee in the vicinity of Florence and Tuscumbia. ; Gen. Dodge’s strategy and gallantry are commendable. Our European news states that the Polish revolutionists have rejected the proffered amnesty of the Czar. The rebellion was still considerable ; a small battle had been fought, aud insurrection was breaking out in other provinces. The latest news from Mexico comes from a French war steamer in the Gulf, and represents that, after capturing. a number of fortresses, the French troops entered,the city of Puebla, and were still fighting. At previous Mexican accounts, the city was being savagely defended—Oomohfort was successfully defending the road to the capital—and the French would have a number of Pueblas to cap ture before gaining the imperial city. The Mexicans hare fought with great bravery. .. Five , hundred French were killed in storming one of their works. Some days ago a rebel, mail wqs captured by a squad of General Gilroy’s men, near Winchester, Virginia. There was a letter in the mail Bent from Richmond, and directed to Colonel imboden, the guerilla, notifying him of the two different places in the, valley, of a large lot of leather. General MUroy at once eerily a force to each of the places described, and.captmed as much leather as twenty-two wagons could carry. From the Department ofNorth Carolina we learn that General from-hie expedi tion, bringiDg scventy-five'prisoneis j that Hill had gone to Green field, antleven further and was concentrating his/orces for,a dash, on Newberiyfor which Foster is fully prepared, and has withdrawn the troops from Washington and Plymouth, who are now at Elizabeth City and Winfield. New hern, well entrenched, is protected by five gunboats, and supported on both sides of the Neuße by forts mount ing heavy gunß. Vicki4BLr«c+ I at date of the 20th, was being be-, sieged by a strong battery on the levee opposite, and a number of public buildings were damaged or de stroyed. The Duckport canal (b reported a success. Five million dollars are accounted the co3t of the canals around Vicksburg. The Confederates are chagrined at the successful run of the blockade by our gunboats, which has caused a number of quar relß between the artillerists and editors in Vicks burg over the uncomplimentary reports of the affair. Many constructions are placed upon the departure of the Mexican Minister from Washington; It is said to be in relation to Ms personal affairs ; but the livening Post intimates that he is not pleased with the policy adopted by the Secretary of State in allow ing contraband articles to be shipped for the benefit of the French army. Thkre is a rumor from a newspaper in Cincinnati, to the effect that the rebel General Stonewall Jack son is in Kentucky, and about to attack the Union forces. This is hardly to be credited. The rebel army in Virginia is too closely pressed to spare a general of Jackßon’B renown to an unimportant field in the West. Mb. O. W. Field ib again agitating the Atlantic Telegraph project in New York City. A meeting waß . held—resolutions adopted—a committee pointed—but nothing of a practical character ac compUshed.so far as we have learned. . A very brief despatch iB all we have in reference to the ill-fated Anglo Saxon, and that merely per mits us to hope, without additional reasons to hope. All efforts are being made to rescue the survivors, but we are afraid that most of those on hoard have perished.. "Wm. W. Wentworth and Wm. F. Hutchinson have been appointed acting assistant surgeons. The former is ordered to the sloop-of-war Preble, and the latter to the Vincennes. Acting Assistant Surgeon Georoe R. Nairn is ordered to the gunboat Wissahickon. Admiral Dupont and .Major Gen. Hunter. Late news from the Department of the South authorizes the statement, which is a manifest contradiction, of the -stories of the sympathizing newspapers, that there is a hearty, cordial, and determined co-opera tion between Rear Admiral Dupont and Major General Hunter, and that if any attack is to be made on Charleston, they will join forces, not simply because they fight under the same flag, but because they agree upon the principle of employing : all means for the purpose of crushing out the rebellion. The land and naval forces act with the heart of one man. Admiral Dupont, who has experienced the value of negroes on the water, like General Hun ter, who has experienced their value on ■ the. land, is resolved to employ this great element' in accomplishing the task before him, and securing triumph to. his opera tions in the South. All our news from Port Royal, from the. army as well as the navy, indicates the happiest and most con fident feeling among those who command, as well as those who obey. We are invited by the President of tlie United States to lay aside all worldly cares and thoughts, and give this day to fasting and prayer, and humiliation to Almighty God. In this sacred and solemn duty every tiue citizen will be glad-to join. It is at all times fitting that a nation should acknow ledge its sins, and supplicate the favor of Jehovah. As a people, we have many reasons to last and pray. We have been unmindful of the continhed blessings we. have receives ; we have neglected to profit by them ; we became weak, angry, and wicked; we forgot the true purpose of our mission upon earth, and the true duty of a citizen. Peace became at last like the sloth that makes the strong man weak, or the poison that drains the life from the body and the soul. Tyranny became govern ment.; slavery wore the robes of freedom ; the" markets, our halls and homes, where we live; and speak, and make merchandise, exhibited the effect of this terrible demo ralization. It is, perhaps, the remembrance .of this that gives our war' its -a P goo3Fyllnng - it is to kneel before God, in ■"muTbivn appointed way. The idea ot a nation in the throes of war, comprising all opinions, sects, convictions, prejudices, meeting upon this high and sacred ground, acknowledging the same Supreme Power, devoted to the same just cause, and;earnestly laboring for the same great triumph; is one of the most sublime thoughts the civili zation of our country can produce. Letus, then, fast and pray, and do honor to the God of Freedom—for it is the God of Freedom we invoke this morning, not only for ourselves, but for all that are weary and heavy-laden and struggle to be free—for Poland, and Greece, and Italy—for brave men in all lands. America ngver knelt before the Omnipotent throne with a holier petition than that which now fills the heart of every one. We do it with the conviction that God will give ns strength and wisdom to continue to the end—and that even as we are now fasting and praying, we shall soon have cause for praise, thanksgiving, . and abundant joy, , ; . ■ Mayor of Philadelphia. The death of; Sir George Cornwall Lewis is reported. Born in Wales, nearly fifty .nine, years, ago, he was educated at Eton, and graduated with ‘ 1 honors ” ("like Peel, and Gladstone.) at Oxford, in 1828 —first class in classics and second in mathe matics. In 1881 he was called to'the bar at the Middle Temple ; was Poor Law Com missioner from January, 1830, to July, 1847, and baying been elected M. P. for Hereford shire, he was made Secretary of the Board of Control ("Indian Affairs.) in November, 1847. He was Under-Secretary of the Home Department 1848-49, and Financial Secre tary of the Treasury from July, 1850, to February, 1853. He edited the Edinburgh Eeview, in- a heavy manner, from 1853 to May, 1855, when he was made Chancellor of the; Exchequer, .which office he held un til March, 18587 He was appointed Home Secretary in 1859, and War Secretary in 1861—salary s2s,ooo—which office he held at his death. He wrote several literary and historical works, showing much Laming and ‘research, hut generally dull and ver bose. He was a poor speaker, but merits this passing notice as the British minister .who, last autumn, made a speech in reply to Mi'. Gladstone’s Newcastle oration,\nd against the Southern Confederacy. "We learn from the Southern news papers that the people of the rebellious States are generally giving their time to the cultivation of the cereals, expecting a long War, and its attendant hardships. In East Tennessee and Virginia large crops of wheat have been planted, while throughout the cotton districts of Alabama the planters are giving their undivided attention to its cultivation. In North Carolina, it is said, the wheat is in a highly flourishing condi tion, and if the season should continue favorable, a largo harvest will be gathered. These signs would seem to indicate that the rebels do not anticipate the speedy closing of the war, which tlieir sympathizers in the North, have striven to effect. ’What were known as bread riots in Richmond, a short time since, are now re appearing throughout the South, in the name of calico riots. It seems that the patriotic ladies of Georgia, having become tired of the demure and homely homespun, have organ ized an insurrection to obtain the more gaudy calico patterns. At Columbus, we are told, some days ago, a number of these ladies at tacked the largest store in the town, crying, “. Cut cloth ! cut cloth ! calliker, or bust, by hokey!’’ The firmness of the mayor pre vented this pleasant episode from assuming more serious shape. In Milledgeville, how ever, the-gentle .sex were more desperate and more successful. -Three hundred., of them made an attack on a large dry-goods store and took possession of what were' known as the fine goods ; after which, they were dispersed by the eloquence of a certain J udge Harris. "We see accounts of similar outbreaks in other; parts of the South; and .although the Southern newspapers make them a matter of jest, and seem to regard them merely as exhibitions of female plea santry, the striking coincidence in their occurrence, the general demand'for food and clothing accompanying them, and, more (than all, the unanimity, which seems to pre . vail among the disaffected ladies, indicate a .deeply-seated feeling in the South, which I’may-assume a sterner and more formidable aspect.’ . The National Fast. Death of an English Unionist. The Ledger ncwgpapcr of this city makes some very'; just observations in rela tion to the abuses that have grown out'of the present method of receiving taxes. Wq think the suggestions of th z Ledger are eminently practicable, and trust that a re form in this matter will soon be made : 4i There is a great deal of complaint by citizens of the double commissions which they have to pay the Taxßecetver, if by any acoident tneir taxes are not paid when due. The charges in such cases are five per cent, to the receiver, five per cent, to the collect or, then the. cost of advertising, the charges for in terest, and fees to the register-for a sort of construc tive registration which haa never taken place. The second, third, and fourth of these charges are right enough, but the public cannot' see why the receiver and register should receive a per centage to go into their own pockets, when .they other wise re ceive salaries, for the; duties ;they have to perform. If theße charges went into the city treasury, where they ought to go, the imposition would not be so oppressive. The that, the Legislature did not repeal thiß law after its attention was called to its injustice, is a proof ho w ;little legislators regard the public interests when private considerations are urgent and pressing. One member made a bold at tempt to have the law repealed, but the effort very soon subsided, And that is. all the public have heard of it.” -The Tribune thus replies to the absurd and audacious charge of the Democrats of the New York Legislature, that the real policy df the President is to make a hu miliating peace, and that the Democracy is per sc the only party in the country in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war: “ To tell these men that the great danger to be apprehended from Mr. Lincoln’s Administration is that of a too ready asßent to unwelcome tends of peace—to solicit votes for the Democratic party, in* order to avert such a peace—to tell , them that it is tWduty of the Democracy to supply the President with men and meanß for the prosecution of the con test till the rebels shall cry for mercy—is a 1 chauge of base’ ‘so sudden and complete that they may well stAnd aghast. They may, or may not, acquiesce in it as an-electioneering trick—a clever party dodge— but if required to accept it in earnest, and make it a rule of Jaith and conduct, they will surely revolt. The Central Railroad regency have often taxed the docility of their followers, but never before by so bold and recklesß an experiment as this.” LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, April SB, 1863. Strong measures in time of war are as essential in the civil as in the military ser vice. If the first is weak and irresolute, the latter cannot be consistently effective. These are axioms that have never been questioned until latter-day Pemocl|Bjij& who, after precipitating the Eebelfi&n;® sought to help it forward in the path* of; successful revolution, by resisting tbe efforts for self-preservation of - their own Government. The most prejudiced observer cannot deny that, but for the strong measures of Congress and'the Ex ecutive, since the outbreak of the war, we should have lost every vantage ground we now hold. And many believe that if these measures had been more thorough and prom pt, we should to-day be more powerful, and the conspirators nearer their inevitable downfall. I have yet to hear a loyal Demo crat or Southerner speak, or to read what such a man has written, in which the com plaint is not made prominent that the Ad ministration has not been sufficiently de cided. Hoh. Henry Winter Davis, of Bal timore, in a recent speech in Ohio, said : “To abolish slavery now is the natural course of things; the current is that way; it is-harder not to . abolish slavery than to abolish it. The policy of the President’s proclamation is not a policy to be carped at and criticised, but to be executed. And the man who says he is foi the Union, but cannot support the President because of the proclamation, is not fit to represent any district of .the United States.in Congress. [Applause.] The speaker’s quarrel with the President was this : 'Not.that he'hasdone too much , but that he has done too little. 'He ought now to have 100.000 ar med negro soldiers in the middle of South Caro lina, and that class of persoiis who refuse to jighl by thc side of negroes because.afraid of. being equal with them, do not deserve the name of freemen, foi‘ they refuse to fight by theside of stick men as Washington lea . At the batile of Bladenßburg, he was assured by .an eye witness npw living, that half the troopß that came to the relief of our forces which had been disgrace fully repulsed were negroes, and they gallantly sus-- tained themselves in the thickest of the fight.” How ineffably trivial are the objections to what is called the radical policy of the Ad ministration, of the disappointed leaders of the Breckinridge organization, compared with such utterances ! Let us see how much better these men could have done, supposing them to have been honestly disposed to stand by the Government. Would they :have allowed the rebels to attack the capital tack on Sumpter and the massacre of Union troops in Baltimore? Would they have tied his hands by declaring that Fe had no constitutional authority to move vigorously to the rescue of the Government ? Would they have made him wait till Con gress could he called ? 1 take it for granted that they would have done none of these things. I assume that they would have acted with the utmost vigor and prompti tude ; that instead, of sending spies and traitors to prison, they would have hung or shot them, and that; instead of prating of the Constitution, they would have boldly taken the initiative in every case of peril. When they came to treat of the slavery question I believe they would have gone far beyond any of' the remedies slowly and cautiously reached by Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet. They would have bitterly remem bered that the rebels- were intent upon breaking up a party as well as Government, both of which had generously and at many sacrifices shielded and fostered'them. Bold as ; the Democrats .have generally shown themselves to have been in time of peace, they would have been many times bolder in time of war, and especially in such a war as this. Convinced,, as they must soon have been, that the rebellion was set on foot to establish an independent Power, an oligarchy, based upon slavery and the ruin, of the Union,, they would :have carried fire and sword into every seceded sec tion.. One of their very first acts would have been, after realizing that slavery was feeding the lighting men in the rebel service, to liberate the colored men. What, then, is to he thought of the politicians who busy themselves in angry abuse of the Pre sident’s measures to put down the rebellion, because these measures are too radical? The men who have heretofore acted with these politicians, and who are now in the army, are not *nly not troubled by these so called. radical measures, but accept them as doubly effective, - because intended for their own protection and safety, and for the protection and safety of the Government. They see that no act of the Administration or of Congress has had any result save to help the good cause in the free States ; to strengthen and increase the comfort of the people there ; to fill the army with confidence, and to strike the foe in field and at fireside the hardest and most fatal blows. In proof, need I point to the universal prosperity in the adhering States, and the almosc universal gloom in the se ceded States ? And yet, to read the pro ceedings of recent disloyal meetings in Lan caster, Berks, Philadelphia, and Chester, in Pennsylvania, one would suppose that Mr. Lincoln; was. the greatest of tyrants; that Pennsylvania was another Golgotha; the American army a horde of murderers and robbers, and the; rebels, the sanctified and pious followers of leaders whose only object was : the vindication of re ligion and " of law. All the. resolutions and. speeches at these meetings are framed after one model—that of intense hatred i to the war, and, accordingly, to the unity and the restoration of the Republic. There is now no doubt, in view of those manifestations, that ex-President Buchanan steadily adheres to those monstrous heresies, under the influence of which treason con cocted its plans in his council chambers, prepared the way for secession, and at last culminated into armed, unprovoked and bloody rebellion. . v . • It was to be supposed that a stern sense of this fact would reach and change his • heart, and that the sufferings and sacrifices of liis countrymen would constrain him to such an expression of repentance and re morse as would at least redeem his declining years from a portion of. the dreadful account ability that weighs him down. Not so, ■however. He resides in the midst of a re gion in which the trophies of the genero sity and power and glory of his country are signally abundant: But no voice comes from him to rebuke the traitors who live all around him, and who equally reject and ig nore the fact that the comforts they-enjoy are the result of the efforts of tlie present Administration and the bravery of our fol low-citizens in arms, and toil with Satanic energy to aid and encourage the adversaries of the old flag. It is only a few weeks ago, -as if to give notoriety to his sympathy with these traitors, that lie dined in company with men who were known as the most act ive, defiant, and avowed sympathizers with secession and who were selected to meet Use ex-President undoubtedly because of these THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. APRIL 30. 1863. proclivities. One of this party, only a few days before, publicly stated that the rebel constitution was better than that of the United States j that we could: not conquer the South, and'that we must at last accept their constitution and make it our own. If you follow the men whose venomous assaults upon the Government in Pennsyl vania seem to increase the more proudly her honor is vindicated, and who declaim most loudly against what they call radical mea sures, you will find them, in nearly all cases, the same who held offices under his Administration, and who, in slavish sub mission tp the pro-slavery radical's, struck’ down every Democrat who 1 would notsanc tion those treacheries which prepared the way for the dislocation of- the Democratic party, and consequently for the rebellion itself. In Philadelphia, his ex-minister to China leads the column of traitors. In : Berks, his ex-minister to Vienna spreads the poison of disaffection. In’ Chester, his ex collector of the port of Philadelphia stimu lates the enemies of the Government. In -York,' his ex-attorney general of the United States speiks and writes on the same side. These arc the men who de nounce the strong and saving measures of the Administration as unconstitutional and radical, forgetting that the only violators of the Constitution before and since the re bellion, were themselves and the traitors with whom they sympathize, and -that the only radicals in the North are those who act against the Government, as yet without arms, and those in the South who assail it with arms in their hands. Occasional. ; Late and interesting news has been received from our military and Daval forces at Port Royal. The hero clergyman, Mansfield French, of Ohio, is doing wonders among the troops. Traduced as an Abolitionist before he went to Beaufort, his eloquence and his self-sacrificing patri* olißm have converted, not simply the white men who are fighting in the ranks of our army, but have uplifted the souls and enlightened the dark ened intellects of the negroes, whom he is so anx ious to enlist in the public service. In a letter to a friend, just received, he says ■” it iB more than evident that no peace can be had while the slave remains. Give me five hundred of Montgomery's men, to let loose among the rebels, and they will be'worse than Samson’s foxes with firebrands on their tails were among the corn of the Philis tines.” The Montgomery here alluded to is the same who distinguished himßelf in the border fight of Kansas, and - who carries the s word of Cromwell in South Carolina as he did in that Territory, It was generally believed on Monday, and in some quarters positively asserted, that the Army of the Potomac had commenced moving, and the National Intelligencer of the next day openly proclaimed it as a fact. In this respect that newspaper had a de cided advantage over the wires. But even if the intelligence had been telegraphed "through loyal sources, it : would have been no, news to the rebels, for a Fredericksburg correspondent of. one of the Richmond papers writes that his “ impression is confirmed” that our CI army is withdrawing from the line of the Rappahannock,” The observation of newspaper men, ever since the war commenced, leads to the. conclusion that nearly every thing the Amy of the Potomac doeß is prompt ly known to the rebels; who, on one occasion, gave the knowledge of the countersign before it was com municated to our troops. General; Martimlale’s Order* Brigadier General Mabtindale, military gover nor of the District of Columbia', has issued a general order stating that will be observed by the officers and men in his command as a day of fasting and humiliation. He says: u A soldier who is moved to the performance of his duty, in battle or else where, by the inspiration of God’s presence in his mind, his purposes will be incited by an influence of immense power ; and** whole nation stimulated and exalted by such influences will be irresistible,” The United States Marshal has seized upon the property and real estate"of Dr. Cornelius Boyle,. amounting, it is supposed,-to-wv--—,wusii±3t_and District Attorney, has issued "an order for _the per sons interested to show cause why the property shall not be condemned and sold, under the confiscation act. This is the first case under that law in this District, Dr. Boyle was commanderof the Nation al Volunteers, organized here at the commencement of the rebellion, to assist in seizing the public build ings for the benefit ofthe rebels, and, soon "after the inauguration of President Lincoln, left for the : South, where he has been ’ cruelly exercising the office of Provost -Marshal. :: Betters from East Tennessee say that there- are but few rebel troops in that vicinity, and they could be easily driven out by a force of 5,000 men from our side. Though Btill tyrannically oppressed, the great mass of the people remain loyal. : f The Cumberland Coal Case* The decision in the Cumberland Coal case, involv ing. the title of half the mines owned by that com pany, and now pending before the Court of Appeals at Annapolis,' cannot be rendered before the next June or October term.

The competition in the bidding was spirit ed.' There were about 12,600 square feet of ground in the lot.' This is the largest sale of real.estate ever effected in Washington, and the high price ob* tainedis an indication ofthe confidence of moneyed men in the stability ofthe value of property.

Fortress Monroe, April 28.— The propeller Commerce arrived here to-day from Suffolk, which place she left yesterday. She ran past the rebel batteries on the Nansemond river, three in number, but fortunately she was not disabled, although the fire was Very heavy. The boat was riddled by sharp shooters, who lined the bankß of the Nansemond for nine miles, and kept up a continuous fire upon the boat while she passed that distance. s - The steamboat Swan left Suffolk atthe sametime, and came down -the Nansemond in company with the Commerce, but, after passing below the range of the rebel guns, Bhe got aground. Tugs were imme diately by the quartermaster, from Fortress 'Monroe. The Swan:had received four solid shot through her light woodwork, but she was not disabled.

OUR TROOPS MOVING TOWARDS CHARLES TON-NAVAL PREPARATIONS. New York, April 29.— The transport steamer Arago, Captain Gadsden, arrived at this port to-day from Port Royal, with news to Sunday, the 26th in stant. Our troopß arc embarking on transports, which are conveying them to several points' between Fort Royal and Charleston. Strong positions have been taken on Folly and Cole’s Islands, and alao at a point on or near Kiaway Island. Noith Edisto is occupied in considerable force. Some of these points were not entirely evacuated after the recent assault on Charleston. As the last, regiments were embarking with the design of acom pletc withdrawal, orders were received for reoccupa tion, and a disembarkation was at once effected. Reinforcements have been sent since then and are now going forward. • The troops on Folly Island are entrenching." Extensive naval preparations are making for a movement—the design of which is not of course divulged. The gunboats and transports of the fleet are collecting. Several of the transports which took troops to the points named have returned to Port Koyal, and are taking on board other regi ments. The iron* clad fleet has been, we learn, fully re paired for lurther operations. Two of the monitors arc at Fort Royal, while five of them are off North Edisto, and the Ironsides remains near Charleston bar. ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND, Guerillas Annoying Murfreesboro Gen* Nfgky on the Alert —Their Movements Frustrated. Murfreesboro, April 29.—At noon to day a small force of rebel cavalry appeared on Manchester pike, and our videttes gave the alarm, saying the enemy was advancing in force. Gen. Negley, with commendable prudence, went out a short distance, but the alarm, proved false. Gen. Negley met several citizens who resided near the outpoßts, and were moving in, who reported that the rebels had declared that they were coming to drive ub from Murfreesboro. It is generally supposed that the rebel demonstra tion yesterday was made for the purpose of forcing Roaecransto concentrate his lines, thus leaving Van Lorn and Wheeler at liberty to act on our flanks wilh their cavalry ; also, to enable them, with the force north of Duck river, to defeat any attempt we might make similar to the one on McMinnville, At present,.all the efforts of the rebel cavalry on our flanks are futile. DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTHWEST, Surprise of Mannndiike’s Advance Guard. St. Louis, April 29. —The correspondent of the Democrat with General Vandeveer’s command says that at about ten o’clock on Sunday night a rebel regiment, under Colonel Newton, the advance guard ol Marmaduke’s army, which was then retreating from Cape Girardeau, were surprised three miles west of Jackson, while cooking supper and loitering around their camp flies. Two small howitzers, load ed with musket balls, and hauled by hand within thirty yards of them, were simultaneously dis charged, killing and wounding a large number. At the same time the Ist lowa Cavalry charged thenij and not a man of the entire regiment, it is supposed, escaped; all who were not killed or wounded being taken prisoners. All their horses guns, camp equipage, and several thousand dollars’ worth of Btolen plunder, were captured. Early the next morning General Yandeveer ad vanced, and saw the main body of the enemy in full retreat. He immediately followed, keeping up a constant artillery fire on their rear. GEN.

It was reported that Stonewall Jackson was at Somerset, and that a fight would speedily ensue.

Bombardment of Fnebla—Comonfdrt De fending the Road to the Capital. San Fbancisco, April 28.—The steamship Con ■titution has arrived from Panama, bringing dates from the city of Mexico to the Bth, and Puebla 6th inst., received via Acapulco, at which port she touched. Since the 31st ult., the. .French had kept up a con stant bombardment of Puebla. Their fire destroyed the convent San AugUßtin and six blocks of build ings, with no special progress towards occupying the city." - The fight continued on'the 6th inst. Gen. Oomonfort, with 15,000 soldiers, was defend ing the road leading towards the city of Mexico, and was having continued skirmishing with the French. The foregoing news is of course from Mexican sources, the authorities stating that but a small por tion of the obstacles In the way of the capture of Puebla were yet overcome. LATEST FROM FRENCH SOURCES—PUE BLA ENTERED BY THE FRENCH. New York, April-29.—The steamer Shelldrake, from Havana on the 23d inst , arrived at this port at 9 o’clock to-night. .Vera Cruz dates of the 13th, re ceived per French war vessel, state Jthat Puebla was completely surrounded on the 23d ult. The attack was commenced on the 27th, and the Pemtan tiarie was carried by assault on the 31st, Fort St, Xavier was also taken on the 31st. After entering the city/ the French forced through the first barricades to the Plaza and the Cathedral, both of which were fortified. flThe soldiers then entered the houses, and aided by the sappers and miners, passed from one house to another, and on the 3d had thus worked their way to within a hundred metres of Pleasea. .Up to that date the French had lost from 500 to 600' killed and wounded. chief of artillery, was killed, and Col. Larnier was badly wounded. ■- It is estimated that the entire force of Ortega in the city was 25,000.* ' The bridge over-the Rio Priste was held by the French, thus preventing Comonfort, with 12,000 re inforcements, from crossing. ""Another arrival from Vera Cruz, bringing dates to the 16th, states that a mail from Puebla had been re ceived containing advices of the capture of Pleasea and Cathedral; but the city still was commanded by Forts Guadalupe and Loreto; but nothing is Baid of their opening fire on the French. .Puebla was filled with barricades. • One-third of Puebla is claimed by the French to be in their possession, as the result of the thirteen days’fighting.

San Francisco, April 29.—The French papers of tbisi city publish letters from the city of Mexico to the Bth instant, which represent that Gen; Forey is in possession of the environs of P'uebla, and is mas ter of the communications and the fortified works commanding the city; He continued to advance. &]owly.;bufc s.iirely, withoutrsacrificing his soldiers. Intelligent persona think, that Forey has bo ma ll cuuvred as to enclose the Mexican army in Puebla, and will ultimately capture all of them or more than twenty thousand. Official accounts of the same date take an encou raging view, and say that the besieged forces were fully able to repulse the French. ' ;; .- THE FORTIFICATIONS—DESPERATE BRA VERY OF THE MEXICANS. , The principal fortifications still remaiu intact. There are sixty-four fortified buildings in the city, including three fortresses of great strength. The Mexican soldiers have shown remarkable bravery.

There is some interesting news by tnis arrival con cerning tho new rebel pirate Virginia, formerly the Japan, which recently escaped from Greenock. The EngJith steamer Alar, which was before reported as haying laudtd at Plymouth seveiteen men or the Vir ginia's crew who had been injured by an explosion on biard that vessel, appears.to hare been employed by the rebel agents to help, the pirate. The Alar cleared from ;Newhaven (England) ostensibly for St. Malo, .but, instead -of proceeding to that port, went to Folkestone and there shipped a quantity of “pro visions, Ac., and a number of seamen. The Alar was instructed to steer towards a certaiu part of the coast of France, and after some delay the Virginia bore m sight, when the “provisions*,” which.were guns, aims, and ammunition, were transhipped. The Vir ginia has sroue westward. She is said to be of great -strength, and capable of a high rate of speed, and car ries ten guns m addition to two of Whitworth’s sixty eight pounders oa pivots. : This is a more formidable armament than that of the Alabama. ’ COUNTERFEIT “GREENBACKS.” Several engiavers in Sheffield, England.'have been arrested for the manufacture of spurious United States treasury notes.

THE RETURNING REGIMENTS have no reaßon to complain of any lack of enthusi asm in their reception home; if one may judge from the public demonstrations attending the welcomes oi the three which have thus far arrived in this city. Between four and fire o'clock yesterday afternoon, the 7th and Bth New Yorkers, under Colonels Yon Shac and Salih Salm, marched up Broadway from the ferry through such a tempest of waving flags, hats, and handkerchiefs, such a symphony of cheers, bravas, and general greetings as a man would go through much to be made the subject .of. This morning, at about ten o'clock," Colonel Bendix’s famous Tenth arrived, and we had another-grand excitement along the route of march. Our “gallant Seventh,” as we .used tg call the i ‘cra9k” regiment or the city nmitia, has often been, loudly Applauded by the Broadwayites, for its splendid “order arms;” but never did I hear such hearty cheers as rewarded the unique regimental “salute” of Bendix's bronzed Zouaves, opposite the Astor House this morning. Ninety of these noble fei* Come no Upon reaching that city they resolved to turn back to camp, and re-enlist for the remainder of the war at once. This they did, and are now, probably, on the march with Hooker towards the Peninsula. However soon the news of the great battle with Lee may come, we may be sure that such glorious dogs of war as these will have prominent mention. The returned troops all look every inch the soldier; and can be mistaken for nothing else, though they carry no muskets, and some of them are dressed like Arabs. When I first heard that the hoys were to be sent to their home-receptions, without their guns I' was highly, indignant at the outrage, and grew still more indignant" upon learning that Mr. Greeley had ungraciously refused to reprehend jt in his Tribune but I now think; that it is eminently sensible. and far-sighted in the 7 Government to do just as it is doing in the matter. These returned Veterans have all been mustered out of the service; and, immediately on their arrival here, a great majority of them indulge in roaming jollification with their convivial friends. If they had their mußkets with them, they would as suredly lose half of them in the thoughtless spirit of the hour. As to their feelings on the subject, it iB safe to say that they are heartily glad to be free from cum bersome weapons for a while,and much prefer to have their hands and shoulders at liberty for the;hearty shakes and embraces they receive from friends .".'.1(1 relatives of both sexes as they march along the streets. Most of them will unquestionably re-ehlist . after enjoying a week or fortnight of jollity with .their friends. I have conversed with some forty or fifty of-them—for I cannot .help saying something kind, or offering a cigar, to every returned brave I see—and I have not yet found one who evinced any of that extraordinary affection for McClellan which our copperheaded friends would have us believe is raging so Irrepressibly in the Virginia army. . They all, on the other hand, express confidence in Hooker, and say that he will either take Richmond: before the fourth of July,'or die in the attempt. One Zouave, whom I met on "the Jersey ferry-boat, re marked, that we would not see so many, of the mus tered-out troops re-enlisting already, if they did not believe that 1 * Fighting Joemeant business of the liveliest kind. THE DOG-SHOW at Bafnum’s Museum is in full bloom, and if hark is good for colds there need be no bronchial affections at that festive institution for some time to come. The dog-show does not smell as agreeably as it might, and some of the exhibited specimens appear to have a depraved taste for human fingers and well developed legs ; but it is not uninteresting to see so many midnight gerenaders together, and bo me of the fancy terriers are sufficiently homely to throw a sporting, man into ecstasies of. admiration. And speaking of dogs reminds me to say that A CURE OF HYDROPHOBIA, in its worst Btage, has been effected by Dr. Louis Bauer, the health officer of Brooklyn, A citizen of that suburb was bitten in the hand about a week ago by a rabid dog, and shortly afterwards developed the usual symptoms of violent hydrophobia. Four eminent physicians did what' they could for him, bui without avail, and he had been given up, to die a terrible death,when his case became known to Dr.. Bauer, The latter, upon going.to see the poor man, ordered him to be laid flat upon his stomach on the bed,, and wrapped ice and wet cloths upon the back of bis neck and along his spine. From the well-known antipathy of hydrophobic victims to water, the patient at once went into violent spasms, exhibiting every sign of enduring terrible tortures. He waß kept tied down, however, and the cloths and Ice kept upon his back and neck for three days, during which time the spasms gradually subsided, the pulse and breathing became regular, and when the strange appliances were removed, the patient was virtually a well man. This remarkable cure has created quite an excitement in the medical pro fession, and you will probably hear more about it. THE FAST DAY is to be observed by a general suspension of all kinds of business and unusual solemnities in all the churches. As a matter of course, private dinners will be larger than usual, as it is not the custom of this remarkable generation to fast upon empty sto machs. By a Btrange perversity of comprehension, our people beheve;a “ fast” day to be a “slow” day. ' ‘ : :•*. STUYVESANT. • 1 New York, April 29, 1863. A Prize Schooner.— The prize Bchooner St. George (British) arrived at thiß port this morning. She was captured by the steamer Mount Vernon, on the 23d, off. New Inlet, while attempting to run the blockade of- Wilmington. f She was from Ber muda, with a cargo of salt,:rum, and provisions. From Port Royal.— The steamer Arago, from Port Royal on the 26th inßt.,;has arrived at this port. Among her passengers are Gen. Truman Sey mour, Col. Rich, and Lieut. Cols. Twitchell and Billings. Geh; Seymour hasa furlough on '* account of iU health. The Arago brings no news. The SteamerPocahontas.— -The steamer Poca hontas has arrived, from New Orleans on the 18th, Her advices have been anticipated. A Virginian not'an Alien Enemy.— ln the caße of Kirk vs. Hoover, before Chief Jußtioe Boa worth, counsel- for defendant moved to dismiss the complaint, on the ground that plaintiff was an alien enemy ; that Kirk was disloyal, and had gone to re side in Richmond. . ; / . The Chief Justice denied the motion to dismiss the, complaint. He said that the plaintiff is not an alien \enemy within the common meaning of those words. The Federal Government does not recog nize the idea that Virginia is notone of the States composing the United States, and its citizens not citizens of the Union, A citizen of Virginia is en titled to all the privileges and immunities of this State which a citizen of any other State can claim. If, under any act of Congress, this- claim, if prose cuted to judgment, canbe confiscated, that furnishes no reason why the action should be dismissed. The fact that a plaintiflSis an alien enemy, when it ex ists, should be pleaded, and not be attempted to be availed of on motion. Motion denied, with seven dollars costs, to abide event. Movements of Secretary Chase.— Secretary Chare went to Boston to-ptght. ; Departure of the Steamer Arabia. Boston, April 29.—The royal 5 mail steamer Arabia sailed to-day with.sl3,ooo in specie.

Walnut-street Theatre.— There are many who will not deny that Miss Charlotte Thompson i» a “ most sweet lady,” both on and off the stage; She has, indeed, the advantage of being young and good-looking, and, though by do means perfect’ in form or feature, or “faultily faultlem” in acting, she manages to be a very general favorite, and to usually please the public. The new partin which she has appeared this week lias been 84 Little Barefoot,*’ which without much hesitation might be pronounced a stupid, thing from beginning to end; Yet, with MiBB Thompson Bkimming through the part of Little Barefoot , with pink silk feet, the piece nightly draws good audiences To aketch the plot is more than is necessary. The mere readlngof the names of the acts, as designated on the bills, proba bly give nearly as clear an idea of the play as the perueal of it would. The attempts at wit are wretched. The “ gags” are too bare-faceil and stupid to deserve the applause they got, and the puns are not. worth laughing at. The swol len face of Amric gives rather an unroman tic turn to one of the principal scenes, and would, indeed, give rather a silly aide to any picture, and her very pink feet and nether limbs ill contrast with her contralto complexion. Taking the play altogether, however, it is a mixture of good with bad. The acting leads one to the same conclu sion. Yet, on a fine night, the theatre iB not only fair, but full. Miss Thompson is known to be an actress of public worth, and a lady of private merit. She has deserved well at the hands of the public* for she has worked hard to please them, and it is to be regretted she does not chooße characters. which-would give greater scope to her power than that of " Little Barefoot.” Shecan do better than thiß, and ought to try to. To be pretty and to- be young are not alone elements of permanent success. Whether this grace ful artiste possesses them, remains to be seen. Gottschalk’s Concert.— Mr. U. M. Gottachalk the piano-forte “virtuoso,” announces his second and last concert for this evening. The virtuosoehip of Mr. Gottschalk seems to have lately been as-, sumed, and is unmistakably due to-the modesty which induces him, or Mb agent, to announce the forthcoming concert as being not only Becond and last, but “ grand.” .MiBB Louisa Yivier, Mrs. Henriette Behrens, and the Bretto Brothers will assist this very talented and successful performer. Mr. Charles Schmitz will also contribute. The pro gramme is brilliant and varied. The concert will be very largely attended. The Swiss Bell Ringers.—These unique and really remarkable performers have been drawing good houses. Their exesutions awake the interest O r all, and evoke the enthusiasm of everybody whose ears are alive to melody,- The skill necessary to such perfection has secured, in continuously large audiences,'a legitim ate result. We learn that a complimentary benefit has been tendered to Mr. Charleß S. Porter, the veteran actor, who has been connected with the American stage for the last forty years, and that it will take place at the Walnut-street Theatre on the 6th of next May. Mr. Porter, as a true gentleman and ac complished artist, is justly entitled to a testimonial of this character, and we hope that it will be com pletely successful. * Woolen Mill on Fire—Accident.-- Just before eleven o'clock last night, the woolen mill of Meadowcroft & Go., on Carroll street, beiew Cumberland, was discovered to be on fire. The picker-room was destroyed.. The main building was saved. George Druid, a young man, was run over by the United States Hose Carriage, while proceeding to the fire. He was badly injured. We learn the above from a despatch by the Police Telegraph, from, the station in the Nineteenth ward. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. - - PHrLADELPHrA. April 29,1363. • Gold was very Quiet and .steady to-day.. The un pleasant weather secured the pavements from the in cessant tread of opeiators, and consequently business was dull. The good news from New Orleans counter balanced the late rebel raid into Northwest Yirg'nia, and war matters, therefore, pro and con, had no. effect. Government securities are firm. 1 Money continues very easy at 4@5 on call, 5@G on good security. The banks and bankers close their offices to-monrow. The subscriptions to the five-twenties at the Govern ment agency footed'up to-daj' two million dollars at 4P, M. The demand comes from all quarters of the Union, except the Cotton States. The subjects of ATr. I avis can’t get it; hence the apparent indifference to it in his dominions. Stocks, were active and prices - steady.

Indians Reading Secesii a Lecture.— A party of Indian chiefs, who were- travelling to Washington recently, paid . Ad visit to & number of secesh prisoners, who were in Federal hands.
