THE NEWS.
Or is special correspondence from Acquia Creek will
relieve, in some measure, the earnest curiosity which
has attached to the many vague'Vuraors of the ad
vance of Hooker’s army. The crossing of the Rap
pahannock iB now a full and potent fact, con
tinued and historic. We have now an account
of the advance and its success, and specula
tions of its cause and. plan worthy of respect. In
addition, to previous reports, we now know that
on Tuesday last the river was crossed in two col
umns; one, under Stoneman, at Falmouth, and
the other, consisting of the main body of the
army, under command of its general. The llDfch
Pennsylvania Regiment had the pioneer honor,
and were first to get across. The enemy had
withdrawn his main column from the line of the
RappAhannock, and, aceordingto contraband state
ment, there were no troops in great force in our
front, any where for twenty miles south. The ene
my, so far as is known, have feebly disputed our ad
vance. It is reported that Fredericksburg is now
occupied with a strong force under provost marshal
General Patrick, and that Port Royal, also occu
pied, is now a landing for stores. Some fifteen hun
dred ret>ela,'"lt is said, were captured in the rifle pits
beyond Fredericksburg. Throughout the advance,
there had been a continual skirmishing, but with
no important action, and this will not proba
bly occur for some days at least, when the
movement will be developed, and its results reveal
ed. The advance appears to be a clear gain in the
attitude of our campaign, and we may look forward
with courage to its sequel.
We have little or no news from the army of the
Cumberland. The Herald numbers Bragg’s cavalry
at 20,000, and regards it as a very important feature
of superiority over Roßecrans. “Bragg,” says the
Herald, “is but little stronger in infantry than Rose
crane, but his cavalry is much superior in numbers,
mustei'ing fully twenty thousand strong, and presenting
a front tynd assuming a position much more to be feared
by us than Bragg’s entire infantry force. The position
of the rebel cavalry on our flanks is the greatest dif
ficulty in the way of an advance ; and before Rose
crans can move he will hove to do something to de
stroy or disperse Van Dorn and Wheeler.” That
such a force of cavalry as the Herald states is under the
rebel General Wheeler is extraordinary, and doubt
less exaggerated, Although the Herald endeavors to
prove it by a muster-roll of cavalry generals, bri
gades, and regiments.
We bate a semi-official summary of the brilliant
achieVements of Gen. Ranks’ expedition in the
Rechecountry. Its record is'as follows: Marched
over three hundred miles, beating the enemy in
three battles, two on land and one on Grand Lake ;
dispersing his Army utterly, destroying his navy,
capturing his foundries at Franklin and New Iberia,
and demolishing the salt works (ten miles southwest
of the latter place); capturing his camp equipage,
several guns, and between one and two thousand
prisoners. Our losses in the two battles do not ex
ceed seven-hundred. The bravery of our soldiers
receives the warmest praise. The army and navy
Of the enemy are perhaps destroyed, and many of
his best officers captured.
The Tribune has the following in its correspond
ence, on Hooker’s advance, which certainly shows
that the initiatory movement has not lacked ac
tivity, care and command in the general: “From
Kelly’s to United States, and thence to Bank’s Ford,
the commander rode through every portion and de
partment of the army, gave his orders, and baw that
no scapegoat, in the shape of tardy pontoons, luke
warm officers, or defective ammunition, stood ready
caparisoned to flee to the mountains of public
opinion with excuses for anticipating failure. Be
fore night General Hooker knew thoroughly
what was transpiring on both sides of the Rappa
hannock. 'Though no proclamation has been issued
to that effect, it is quite certain that the headquar
ters of the army ia in the saddle. The Army of the
Potomac, which has been long accustomed to have
itß headquarters follow afar off, waß yesterday elec
trified with the change. How a movement thus
auspiciously began will end we soon shall see.”
The latest news from Western Virginia give 3 the
defeat of Col. Mulligan at Faivmount, the destruc
tion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at that
point, and confirmation of the report that the rebels
possessed Morgantown. There are nearly 15,000
troops in Gen Schenck’s department ; certainly
enough to manage the raid. There seems to be no
reason why the guerillas Bhould not be promptly
driven from Western Virginia.
The force which Governor Johnson has received
authority to raise in Tennessee is to consist of ten
regiments and one battalion (six companies) of in
fantry, ten regiments and one squadron of cavalry,
and a battery of artillery—in all, about 26,000 men.
These troops are to be enlisted for three years or the
war, and it is expected they will be ready for service
by the close of the summer.
I'll P.TH Ei; kbws from Mexico reverses the story
of the French, received by way of Havana. The
French had entered the city, it was true, but they
were subsequently driven out with great slaughter
at the point of the bayonet. The Mexicans have
proved great bravery, and though this intelligence
does not bear the stamp of certain authority, it is
not too good to be true.
"We have interesting correspondence from the
Mississippi squadron, by Cairo. The prospects of
the situation near Vicksburg are altogether favora
ble, audit is generally conceded that Vicksburg, if
not already captured, will soon capitulate or be
evacuated.
The Day and Hour.
Beyond all anticipation, the sales of “ five
twenties,” yesterday, at the different agen
cies, reached five millions of .dollars. It
were useless to look for any single cause for
such a magnificent result, beyond the most
unqualified and unreserved determination
of the people to crush the rebellion, and
bring the rebel States speedily to their alle
giance—and that, to this end, the means of
carrying on the war shall not be wanting.
The signs of the times have never before
pointed so clearly to such a result. The
almost inextricable complications of Eu
ropean politics k with the invasion of Mexi
co by France, now of doubtful success—cer
tainly of doubtful policy—leave no hope of
foreign intervention on behalf of the rebels.
Thus, their main reliance has failed—Cotton
is no longer king; and, with no less than
five thousand individual subscriptions per
day to the great national loan, there can be
no possible doubt of the success of the
Union cause. So thoroughly are the hearts,
the means, and aspirations of the people en
listed in this work, that no delay, disap
pointment, or defeat, can abate their ardor
or alter their appreciation of the solemn,
duty of the hour.
The most encouraging feature in the de
tails of this loan is the marked change of
popular sentiment in the States of Mary
land, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri,
as also the response from the sparsely-set
tled districts of the Western States, where
investments in Government loans were com
paratively unknown. Large subscriptions
daily are coming from these districts, and
they furnish fresh proof that this full and
timely support of the Government is not
confined to plethoric money markets, or to
States where mere party ties induce hearty
support of the Administration. It is the
Government which wins such extraordinary
contributions in its support, and the whole
people are thus gloriously testifying not
only their allegiance, but their active and
energetic determination to place the United
States beyond the reach of the envy of
foreign Powers, as well as the intrigues of
domestic traitors.
The Gathering Tempest.
The insurrection in Poland, which was
not ended-by Langiewicz having abdicated,
his Dictatorship, proceeds with unabated
fury, and has so far baffled all the efforts of
Russia to put it down. The amnesty pro
claimed by the Czar, pardoning all political
offences, and promising indefinite reforms
at a period left wholly to the imagination,
has been rejected by the patriots of Poland-
The time in which vague promises could'
amuse them has passed. Pour of the lead
ing Powers of Europe—namely, England,
Prance, Austria, and Italy—have severally
remonstrated with Russia, giving significant
hints that, very possibly, their . interference
will not be confined to words. Sweden
is also opposed to the Russian policy
towards Poland. As the Poles are chiefly
Catholics, it may ,be expected that the
Catholic Powers will actively sympathize
with Poland. Indeed, at this crisis, Rus
sia has only one ally, and this is Prussia,
itself in a condition which threatens the
deposition and expulsion of her King. The
elements of a. general European war are in
agitation, ■’and require a mere breath to fan
them into a conflagration.
ANNUAL EXHIBITION AT THE ACADEMY OF PINE
Abts.— This exhibition of sculpture, painting, draw
ing, and photography, will be opened to the public
on Monday. According to custom, there will be a
private view this evening—a pleasant reunion, at
which artists, purchasers, exhibitors, critics, and a
select number of the public have a pleasant meeting.
As was the case last.year, New York artists will be
in full force at this exhibition, as well as our own
leading artists.
Special attention is invited to the very fine
private collection of oil paintings now on exhibition
at the auction Btorc of Gillette & Scott, No.' 619
Chestnut street, to be sold this morning, at eleven
o’clock. The collection includes many fine pieces
of real merit, by eminent artists, among which we
notice a fine oil painting of 11 St. Peter viewing the
Cross,” by the celebrated Sir Joshua Reynolds. The
store will be open early, to give such as desire it an
opportunity of examining the collection-before, the
sale. .

LETTER EROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, May 1, 1863.
Tlic sermon of the Rev. Byron Sunder
land, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, in this city, last evening attracted
an immense crowd. Hundreds were forced
to leave for want even of standing r join.
Mr. Sunderland is the chaplain of the United
States Senate, and one of the most fervent
and fearless friends of the Government.
Long resident in Washington, where he has
always been a great favorite, he is, probably,
better qualified to speak of the designs of
the enemies who still remain in the Federal
Capital, than any other clergyman here.
His attractive and fervid eloquence, his in
dustry and charity in fulfilling all his clerical
duties, and his Intimate association with
many of the families who have attended his
church for a number of years, have given
great importance to his opinions. And
when, at the commencement of the war,
it was ascertained that he felt an intense
solicitude in favor of the Government, and
against the traitors, hundreds of the sympa
thizers with Secession in Washington did
not hesitate to speak of his hold expressions
with equal disappointment and anger. This
class had so long controlled society in all its
ramifications, had held the Government so
steadily and firmly at their direction and
disposal, that they finally conceived them
selves ("instead of being, as in fact they
were, the recipients of the bounty and favor
of consecutive the bene
factors and patrons of the Church as well as
of the State. Former immunities in office
and in every avenue of social and business
life sanctified, in their eyes, the shameless
conspiracy of the slave tyrants to break
up the Government, and clothed them
with .a sort of impunity as well to sym
pathize with and to assist these con
spirators as to proscribe and punish every
independent man who regarded it as his con
scientious duty to expose and oppose the
enemies of the Republic. Dr. Sunderland’s
prayers at the opening of the sessions of the
Senate were the significant signs of the pa
triotic feelings which had become a part of
his own religious convictions. Inspired by
the fact that his country was engaged in a
war for-the preservation of the liberties of
the people, he never hesitated to speak and
to pray precisely as he felt, and more than
once his terrible maledictions against the
Secessionists, and particularly against the
families who continued to receive the protec
tion of the public authorities they were con
stantly endeavoring to weaken and bring into
contempt, made him at last such a terror to
evil-doers that they would not listen to his
prayers. ■■ -;r
Last night, in accordance with a previous
notice, he delivered an elaborate and fear
less sermon, in which he laid bare the vices
of the times, showing that not. simply the
politicians" and demagogues of the South,
but many of the public men of the North,
had been guilty of crimes and offences
against God which nothing but sincere and
severe repentance could expiate. It ms
when, however, he came to discuss the
crimes of Secession, and of sympathy with
Secession, that he touched the chord of the
popular heart, crcatii g such a feeling that
nothing could restrain the vast audience
from breaking out into demonstrations of
satisfaction. It is impossible that the
truths he so boldly spoke should not be
productive of the best results; and the
immense concourse was an indication,that
whatever might be the intrigues and
ingratitude of a portion of our population,
the majority were at least firmly fixed in
their determination to maintain the good
cause to the..end, and to sustain the Govern
ment without conditions. , Mr. Sunderland’s
impassioned denunciation of the whole heresy
of the rebellion, and of the unchristian and
cruel conduct of many who remain here only
to emban'ass the Government, was just and
opportune. He said, with much force, that
when the historian, in the light that will
hereafter be shed upon present events, pro
ceeds to examine into the causes of this
mighty revolt, he will be astonished at the
arrogance, -barbarity, and insolence of the
traitors, and astounded at the leniency and
forbearance of the Government. When a man
'like Mr. Sunderland, who has seen and expe
rienced the shameless ingratitude and treason
of the traitors, andthe extraordinary modera
tion and toleration with which they have been
treated, is constrained to speak out, as he
did last evening, we may well look forward
to a period, and that not far distant, when
the test of unconditional attachment to the
Government will be so insisted upon that no
man will ever be permitted to remain within
the Union lines, much less to held office
under the Union Government, who does not
give his'best and sincerest energies to the:
good cause. It is a fact which is not
nied, that many persons now occupy posi
tions in the Departments here who claim to
be members of the Democratic party, and
who frequently admit that they have no
heart in this contest, and many members
of whose families are among the most en
venomed and'persistent of the revilers of
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. All
these persons will be retained by the next
Administration of the Federal Government,
should that Administration be composed of
men like themselves; and there is not now
a thorough Union man in office, Republican
or loyal Democrat, who, in such an event,
would not be hurled out of place, even if his
personal safety itself is not in danger. This
fact is as well known to the good men In
office as it is to the false men in place
here. The latter congratulate themselves
that more than two years of Mr. Lincoln’s
Administration have expired, and if they can
be kept where they are through the re
mainder of his Presidency, they will be en
abled to assist the partisans with whom they
are in constant communion by furnishing
them such information as will help their
demonstrations against the Government in
the free States. Such are the substantial
truths that fell from the lips of this eloquent
clergyman last evening, and I refer to them
because they were proclaimed at the proper
moment, and because I believe they will be
toliowed by healthy and healing conse
quences. Occasional. •

Johnston,who is in the immediate vicinity, is to hold >
the Gaps, and force Gen. Rosecrans to concentrate

this activity on the -part of the rebels, must be ne

ARMT OF THE POTOMAC.
Further News of'"the- Advance.
CROSSING AND FIGHT AT KELLY’SFOBD.
The Rebel Colonel Hammond Captured.
Between Five and Six Hundred Prisoners
Captured.
From the best attainable information from persons
arriving from the Rappahannock it appears that
some important movements of the army took place
on Wedneßday f although there was no fighting of
any importance.
The United States forces crossed the Rappahan
nock at Kelly’s Ford.
Pontoon bridges were laid two or three miles be
low Fredericksburg, and we took possession of those
points on Wednesday night.
The enemy formed lines of battle, and planted
batteries on the heights of Their rear, and also fired
a few shots in order to get the range.
In crossing we lost one or two officers killed, and
from thirty to forty men wounded.
Our men crossed first in boats, drove the rebel
pickets out of their rifle-pits, killed and wounded
many, and took one hundred and six prisoners, in
cluding several officers, one of whom was Lieu
tenant Colonel Hammond, of the 6th Louisiana
Regiment. These prisoners arrived here yesterday,
and were sent to the Old Capitol Prison.
Another informant says the left wing, 35,000
strong, crossed four miles below Fredericksburg, a
little below where Franklin crossed previous to the
last battle. They fought twelve hours and drove
tlic enemy eight miles out of their rifle pits and be
hind their-entrenchments. The third brigade of the
first division of the first corps has suffered more
than any other in the fight.
Our forces have captured between 600 and 600
prisoners, who will soon be brought to this city.
Many of these prisoners have voluntarily come
aver, to us, having thrown away their arras, in
Bmall-squada, and begged for food. They pick up
what the soldierß have thrown away on the march.
Other rebels, however, say they have plenty to eat.
• The right wing crossed at Kelly’s ford, and Stooe
man’s cavalry is reported to be somewhere, in the
rear of Fredericksburg.
One army corps remains at Falmouth as a reserve.
DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Sinking of the Transports—Movements of
Price—Ellet’s Marine Brigade.
Cincinnati, May I.—The reported sinking of four
of the six transports which ran the Vicksburg batte
ries on the 22d ult. is hardly credited. The Chatta
nooga Rebel of the 26th sayß: “ One Yankee trans
port lies sunk to the hurricane deck five miles below
Vicksburg. One gunboat and five transports ran
past on. the night of the 22d. Two transports were
disabled.” This is probably oorrect,
A despatch to the Appeal, published now atJack
son, says: “The Federais have been reinforced, and
are advancing South.”
The rebel Gen. Chalmers advanced to Hernando,
but fell back to Panola before the Unionists.
General Grant is at Carthage. Nothing of special
importance had been received from his department.
“The indications,” says the Rebel, “are that the
enemy ia preparing to ascend the Yazoo with gun
boats and transports.”
There were rumors that Price tvas between the
White and Arkansas rivers, moving for some point
on the Mississippi.
The Coldwater fight was a mere skirmish, in which
we captured seventy prisoners.
. Eilett’s Marine Brigade ascended the Tennessee to
Eastpovt. In descending the river on Saturday last,
near the mouth of Duck creek, a woman.warned
them of guerillas below. . The boats founded up at
night, and the next morning dropped down slowly.
About eight o’clock 800 partisan rangers, command
ed by Major White, of Texas, with three pieces of
artillery, fired into the fleet. . All boats composing
the gbrigade were -present, including two gunboats
and a ram. ThejHomer, Autocrat, and Diana were
struck a number of times. Two men were killed and
one wounded. The gunboats shelled the enemy,
and as soon as the other boats could land, cavalry
started in pursuit, quickly coming up with the
rebels. A.-Bkirmish ensued, in which eight were
killed, and several wounded, xncluding White,
and one taken prisoner. Five rebels were buried,
and two left in the woods, and their commander left
at a farm house,'where he afterwards died. The ca
valry followed for twelve miles, and then returned,
Col. Ellet’s horse was killed by a shell.
The Gasctte has rumors from Milliken’s Bend that
the gunboats had- attacked and captured the rebel
batteries at Grand Gulf. •
PASSAGE OF THE VICKSBURG BATTERIES.
New York, May I.— The Tribune has a, letter
from near Vicksburg, stating that only one of the
transport fleet (toe Tigress) was sunk in passine the
rebel batteries on the 23d, and she was beached
below, near our works-pthe officers and crew all es
caping. The other five got by The Tribune,
consequently, says the report that four were sunk
and two driven back is a canard.

Two tugs, having in. tow four hay barges, ran
past the batteries at Yicksburg last Saturday night.
The rebels did not fire at them.
It is stated on what is considered reliable autho

lilten’s’Bend, of which there are considerable quan
tities, will have to run the blockade.

Public Entertainments.
New Chestnut-street Theatre.— The final perform
ance of ‘ ‘ JLeali, ” and the last appearance of Miss Bate
man, occurs to-night. The fact is mentioned because it '
is somewhat unusual for one play, in which one charac
ter alone is principal, to be successfully performed for
successive weeks. We have seen no reason to alter the
opinions which we have heretofore expressed. Those
opinions were matured and; reconsidered. Their ex
pression was worded with deep respect for the lady, and
with no trivial degree of admiration for the artiste.
Early in'June Miss Bateman will leave America—abroad
from which she will not probably flnd a greater number
of sincere well-wishers—And will strive to widen in
other lands the reputation she has earned in these. The
honest critic, the true friend of the artiste, will be as
glad and qnick to applaud truth and beauty in acting as
lie will feel constrained to point out deformity and error.
It will be pleasure for him to praise, aud pain to
censure. Few people pay®' or think of paying, to the
atrical advertisements more attention than they de
seive. The advertisements of the “New. Chestnut” an
nounce Miss Bateman as being a “ Great Tragic Artiste. ”
It is not necessary for Miss Bateman to be so in order
to perforin the character of Leah. But she performs it,
as a whole, better than any stock or star actress could
whom we can recall. Heir coldness, in some of the
principal scenes, has been adverted to and dwelt upon;
She may have it in her.power to do away with this great
defect. With, the “years which bring,” not “the
philosophictraind',” but the loving, heart, she may ac
quire the ‘ power of passionately depicturing, those
scenes whose very life is ihat of love as love. She, in
deed, holds the mirror toward nature, but she too often
encumber&'tbe reflection with the cold formalism of life
less artificiality. It would be untrue to say she is without
talent, andUßjust to deny the occasional sweetness and
strength of her passion and her But either her
power of conceiving them is limited, or else her ability .
to depict them is restrained. Throughout the last act of
“Ltah^’however, she is always good, and sometime a
great. In almost every -interview she seems, to those
who first observe her, as near to Nature as Art cau be,
looking into Nature’s face. The effect she produce!
on her audience is one of the best. commentaries of
the effect she must previously have upon
Her. conception and her rendition keep pace
with each other, and proceed together.. These have been
almost sufficient to draw tears from the eyes of men and.
to weeping at a theatrical denouement.
In the last; scene where Leah, pursued by. the rabble,
seeks thc protection of Madelina, both the action and the
inaction are fine. When "LeaJi refuses the offer of. money
aud food, but a cup of cold water bring proffered, gasps,
“Thirsty, yes, thirsty,’? the pathos of tone, the exquisite
aud hidden meaning: of the author, arc'very touching.
When Leah learns! from ' ''Madelina: the temporary:
absence of the" latter’s . husband, and exclaims,
despairing, jealous, aud exulting,, “He lelt you,
then?” the expressions of form, and voice, and fea
ture, render complete the picture of malignant, love.
This is a point of which Miss Bateman makes much. She
might make more; though .here occurs the difficulty of'
over-acting. When, repulsed by ; Madelina, in a mo
ment of excitement, Leah' exclaims, “She casts me
forth. Well! well!”, the desolation of a wounded and.
fojsaken spirit, heart-broken aud dejected, is admirably
depicted. The by-play of Leah, whilst she witnesses
the interview between husband and wife, is impressive.
The scene in which Leah herself, meets the child of Ru
dolf and Madelina, furnishes the most sweet and tender
episode of the whole play. Neither the rough sketch, nor
the coloring matter, nor the subtle tint, nor the delicate
finishof the author, seems to have escaped the eye oif the
actress. She appears to have tried to understand them;
and she has understood and reproduced them. The
passage in which Ltah asks the.child’s name, and the
child answers “Leah,” l« passionately ?ad .and sweet,
and’ influences the audience more widely and deeply
than any other passage of the drama. It is indeed the
feature of the pla v. All the c-mobons of the li earl of the
woman seem softened in tlio heart of the actress; all hor
soul seems to overflow and effervesce in the portrayal
/ of that moment. The more often this interview be re
peated, the more dear it. will-grow to the heartof the
audience. Leah s benediction upon the child, up ja the
happy wedded couple, Rudolf and Madelina. and
“all, all," is rendered with'a tenderness which com

oua acta.' The portraitures of Mias Bateman, in this
act, compared with the others, are like apples of
gold in pictures of silver.
In parting from Mihß Bateman, we hardly know which
most to express—our admiration, or our regret. Her long
expert* nee of stage do ties, and consequently that know
ledge of ttage requirements which must have been to her
a second nature, should .qualify her to do 'ample justice
to mere dramatic effect. The difference between talent
and genius is easily discernible by the least practiced;,
difficult to be described by the most habituated. Miss
Bateman has pioved that she possesses the one; will she
that she possesses the other ? If her experiences on dis
tant shores profit her as much'as her experiences have on
this, we do not doubt that the prestige of her
grow both solid and enduring. Our honest judgment of
her merit is co equal with our honest wishes for her
success •
For Monday evening, and the following week. Miss
Lucille Western, with the sensational story.of “East.
Lynne, M which has heretofore achieved so great a suc
cess, is announced. The interest of tfiss Western’s per
formance, and the verypopular drama in which it is a
chaiacter so marked, have crowded, the Chestnut-street
Theatre night after night. Whatever the merits of thV
performance and the story, certainly they are success-,
ful, and they are interesting. bitaations of peculiar
feeling and power occur in the drama, and have gained
it this success. Miss Western is an actress of energy and
attraction, and we do not doubt that “East. Lynne”
will again draw crowded houses. •
Concert, of the Harmonia Society. —The Harmonia
gives its third and last soiree of the season on. Tuesday
evening,, May slh, at the hall of the Musical Fund. The
chief features of the programme will be selections from.
Mr. Frank Parley’s oratorio, “The Cities of the Plain”—,
a composition of excellent interest and merit—formerly
giveD, we believe, with some success. Mr. Darley is
one of the most-able and intelligent composers we have
in our midst, and his work deserves favor.from this fact,
as it deserves respect for its real merits as an artistic and
effective composition. It has. superior passages, which
the Harmonia will give with its best spirit and force.
Mr. Aa-ron'Taylor, a "good basso, iH engaged as the
principal singer, and Dr Meignen, assisted by Mr. Mi
chael Cross, will "conduct the concert. . .

Immense. Transactions in the Five-
Twmty, Loan—Fivb Millions Subscribed in
a Day,— The Bale of five-twenties at the various
agencies yesterday reached five millions of dollars,
distributed as follows:
New York and New Jersey
Boston ami New England......,
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania,
Ohio and other Western States
Washington
Maryland
Delaware
.Kentucky.
From a careful average made by Jay Cooke, sub
scription agents it is estimated that over five thou
sand individual subscriptions were made yester
day, including, of course, the small amounts of the
industrial classes, as well as the larger amounts sub
scribed by capitalists, and even Cabinet ministers.
There surely can be no better evidence of the de
termination of the .whole people to support the
Government and crush the rebellion than is givehin
the success of this loan.
Naval —A naval general court martial,
composed of the’foliowing distinguished members,
has been in session at the navy yard: Com. F.
Engle, president', Com. Charles Lowndes, Com.
Jomeß L. Lardner, Capt. F. B. Ellison, and Com. E.
O. Oarpeader. A number of important cases were
-before them for investigation, the most prominent of
which was relative to the surrender of the United
Statea steamer Mercedita to the: rebel ram, off
Charleston, in the latter part of last January. Thir
teen men from the crew of the Mercedita left that
vessel 'after her capture by the ram, but shortly af
terwards voluntarily returned to their ship, and con
tinued with her until she arrived in this port, when
charges were preferred against them, upon which
chargee they are now tried.
Workmen are at. present engaged in digging out
the dock at the navy yard, this step having become
necessary on account of the shallowness of the
water. The work will be completed in about ten,
dayß. The Navy Department has received the.fol
lowing proposals from responsible ship-builders for
the construction of the new ocean iron-clad navy.
The fact that England and France are surpassing us
in the number of sea-going armored vessels has in
duced Secretary Welles to expedite the completion
of the fleet as soon as possible. The plans, however,
will not be ready for months to come, and some three
years will have to elapse before the vessels can be fit
for service, thus rendering it certain that 1866 will
come before the formidable craft sanbe ready
for service- Although the bids were to close on the
13th of April, they are still open, and will be so for
some days. The parties who are willing to build>
are Messrs. Merrick & Sons, Philadelphia, one ves
sel/ Archibald & Beany, Chester, one vessel; Thos.
F. Howland, G-reenpoint, one vessel; Borneo : Un
derhill, New York, One vessel; the Atlantic Works,
Boston, one or two vessels; H. M. Figaro, Philadel
phia, one vessel. A Mr. Tuffs offered to build one
on his own plan. The price put in for these vessels
ranges from four millions one hundred thousand to
four mil lions four hundred thousand, Borneo Under
hill, of New York, and others, being the highest!;
ten of these vessels were built, at two arid a quarter*
millions each, they would cost nearly a yearns navy
estimate—over sixty millions—-before their arma
ment and general wants could be supplied.' Trie
dimensions of this fleet proposed for .will be greater
than those of any iron-clad yet conceited. . .
Celebration at the-Northern Home
for Friendless Children.— The tenth anniver
sary of the Northern Home for Friendless. Children
was celebrated yesterday afternoon, at half past
three o’clock. The occasion was tbe\ completion
and occupation of their buildings, and the place of
celebration was the Northern Ho'me itself, at the
northwest cornerof Twenty-third And Brown streets.
The general arrangements of the buildings, and the
appearance and condition of the children; awoke the
interest and elicited the praise of the many guests
who were present. The ages of the children range
from three to twelve. The age of the oldest, at
present,-is ten years, and that of the youngest two
years and a half. Two hundred children are
•in the Home at this time. Three nurses are regu
larly . employed, under whose care the children;
are placed during the hours of non confinement.
The average amount of time of instruction is five
hours daily. Two teachers are in charge of the ele
mentary branches. The scholars, in obedience,-in
truthfulness, and in application to their tasks, arc
unusually praiseworthy. On the Sabbath day tfiey
receive religious instruction from the lips of teach
ers and pastors. Family worship is . conducted by
Mr. L, Hopkins every morning, and this like wise the
children arc required to attend. The board, at a 5 re
cent meeting, resolved to erect'an infirmary for the
accommodation of those children who may be taken
ill. This will be in the rear of the ground on
which the present buildings stand. '
The area of the Infirmary will be forty-five by.
fifty feet,'and the building will be three stories high.
Voluntary contributions will, it is hoped, be suffi
cient in furnishing the requisite funds, which will
probably be in the neighborhood of $lO,OOO. A por
tion of this is already promised, and the citizens are
expected to contribute the balance. . (
The eating and sleeping apartments, the ward
robe, and other necessary conveniences, seem calcu
lated to meet the ends designed.
The board of trustees is composed of the following
officers, viz.: —Thomas Earp, president; John Clag
hom, treasurer ; Macregor J. Mitcheson, secretary,
and other members, which comprise some prominent ,
business men of the city. During.the past year four
of the inmates were placed in Girard College, one
entered 4he navy,.and one.huDdred and fifteen were
secured eligible situations.
In the celebration, yesterday, the prayer of the
Rev. Mr. R. S. Harris; and the addresses by Rev.
Mr. E. IV. Hutter, and IVIr. BendGuilleau, together
with the intei eating recitations of the children,
formed very gratifying features.
At the close of the exercises, a collation was'
served up to the children, and was partaken of by
them with evident satisfaction. The affair, yester
day, waß one of those interesting'occasions which
are attended with pleasure at every repetition.
Improvements at Laurel Hill.—A
large number of interments are constantly making
in this extensive and picturesque cemetery ground.
During the past year a number of beautiful monu
ments have been erected there, arid the ground iu
various wayß improved. The many charming ever
greene, in which the robin and thrush rear their
young undisturbed by the rapacious boys, lend to
the place a vernal appearance, even in the most in
clement season. How much more preferable it is to
deposit the dead in a cemetery like this, where they
will always remain unmolested, than in the confined
graveyards of the built-up portions of .the . city,
which, probably sooner or later, will be made the
sites of buildings, and the bones of the “ poor inha
bitants below ” hustled elsewhere.
St. : .Thomas Episcopal Colored
Church.—The services at this church on the Fast
Day were of the most interesting character. The
regular morning service was read, arid prayers for
the soldiers and the President of the United States ;
also the prayer set apart for Ash Wednesday, with
the collect,, epistle, and gospel fo^that tday, were
recited. After whicM an appropriate. Berinon 'was
preached by the rector, Rev. Wm. J. Alston, from
the following text: sth chapter of Jeremiah, the
30th and 31st verses—“A wonderful and horrible
thing is committed in the land. The prophets pro
phesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their
means, and my people love to have it so 1 : and what
willye do inthe end thereof!”
Accidents.— A Jad, named Charles Mor
row, aged two years, was badly burned, on Thursday
afternoon, by his clothes taking fire, while playing
with matches, at the residence of Mb parents, in
Carpenter street, below Ninth.
Patrick Devlin, aged sixty years, while walking
upon the ends of the “ sleepers” upon the Beading
railroad, on Thursday afternoon, was struck in the
back by a passing locomotive, arid was, so badly in
jured that he died in a snort time afterwards. The
deceased was employed in a brickyard near Nice
town, and was on his way home at the’ time he met
with the accident.

Fire.—Yesterday afternoon an alarm of
fire was caused., by the burning of the contents of a
second-story back room in the building No. ,615
Chestnut street. The room was occupied by a do
mestic in the employ of Mrs. Margaret Ellis. Owing
to the difficulty of gaining access to the fire, the sur
rounding properties and the front part of the. build
ing were somewhat damaged by‘water. The loss
amounted to about $5OO, which is covered by insu
rance. The building belongs to the Ridgway estate.
Considerable alarm was occasioned among the hoard
ers in the American Hotel, adjoining, •
Drowned. The body of a drowned
man was found yesterday morning at Poplar-street
wharf. He appeared to be about sixty, years old, and
had been in the river several weeks. .

tion of this city towards the fund for the relief, of the
distressed poor of Ireland surpasses any charitable
collection ever raised in Philadelphia. That con
tributed through the Corn Exchange Association
waß -in all respects worthy of the universally
esteemed liberality of that organization. Besides
that, a collection was taken up last Sunday week

Alterations and Additions.
Coal-Oil Depots.—We learn that the
Pennsylvania Railroad is preparing its property on
the west Bide of the Schuylkill, in the Twenty-fourth
ward, for the storage of coal oil. It is also proposed
touse for the same purpose the fiats on the Dela
ware, below the city, which can be easily connected
with the Pennsylvania Railroad by a very short
road, so as to receive the barrels aB they are sent
down from the West. Both these localities are so
isolated that no possible danger can arise to other
property from Btoring it there. These fiats extend
for miles, and sufficient space is to be found for the
accommodation of any amount of the trade which
can .arise in the next quarter of a century. The
islands opposite the city have also been proposed,
and theyhave the advantage of offering great secu-'
rity from the danger of fire ; but they could scarcely
be better suited for the trade than the flats below the
city, where property is cheap and where refining
manufactories could be established if necessary.
The inflammable characteifof coal oil requires that it
should not be stored in the built-up portions of ’the
city, and that an ordinance prohibiting such storage
will be passed by Councils there is but little doubt;
Robbery.—A few nights since tlie
dwelling house of Mr. John HarkiUson on Main
strietj below Rittenhouse, Germantown, was en
tered and robbed of two gold watches, several
articles of jewelry, and about $3OO in money. The
entrance was effected through a back third story
window, which was reached by getting upon the.
roof of the back building. The stolen property was
taken from a desk, which was forced open.

Waverley, from Messina, arrived in port; Among
the articles of the cargo were 3,500 boxes of oranges
and 900 boxes of lemonß.

Housed.— The Reliance Fire Company,
located on New street, near Second, have housed a
new hose carriage, and will hereafter use steam
forcing hose, instead of their hand engine.
O ITT' ITEMS,
A Popular Shopping Emporium.:—
There are few things more attractive to the ladies
at this season of the year than an A No. l stock of
Drees Goods, such, for example, as is now offered
by the old and respectable house of Messrs. James
■ It. Campbell & Co.. No. 727 Chestnut Btreet. This
house, it will be remembered, has long occupied a
front-rank position as importers and jobbers of
every description of Dress fabrics, White Goods,
Embroideries, et cetera; and since opening their
large retail department on Chestnut street, in con
junction with their wholesale rooms, their fame
among the fair wearers of silks and laces has be
come as welljffetablished as it has long been among
.merchants throughout the country. In getting up
their present magnificent spring stock they have
been singularly successful in anticipating the wants
. and proverbial good taste of the ladies of our city.
Among the moat popular lines of goods in this de
r.partment are their beautiful French Organdies,
.Striped Poplin Fantasias, real Mohair Alpacas,
' French Foulards, rich Poult de Soie, and taffeta
. solid colored Silks, and real Camel’s Hair Poplins,
besides a superb line of White Goods, embracing a
full assortment of Irish Linens, napkins, doilies,
table liDens, and general furnishing goods. Their
; importations of the latter have been mainly
made some time since, at much below present prices,
which enables them to sell at correspondingly
reasonablerates. To advert again for a moment to
their dress goods, we may state, for the information
•of the ladies, that their French organdies present a
number of exquisite shades and patterns entirely
; unique in their designs. -The celebrated cuer, or
• leather color, as also the now popular “ dead-leaves”
hue, Are prominently represented in various fabrics.
In real Camel’s Hair poplins—which they offer in.
. richest variety, wide, and of magnificent quality,
; ranging as high as five dollars per yard—their stock
; is incomparably better than any other in the city,
arid the same is true of their fine dress fabrics in
‘.other departments. In addition to their choice array
in these, they also now offer for ladieß’ and children’s'
• cloaking purposes, a rich line of zephyr cloths ; also
' French Poil d’Chevres of all shades, at moderate
a very large choice, and desirable assortment
Xof spring shawls; besides an endless variety of every
thing else comprehended in a first-class stock of'silk
| and fancy dry goods.
Religious.— Ofi last Sunday morning tlie
.Rev. Dr. Carden, rector of the Church of the Inter
: cessor, Broad and Spring Garden streets, preached
annual Easter sermon, to a very large congrega
tion. The discourse was characteristic, practical,
'-and eloquent, and in it he gave a resume of his
> church since its organization. It now numbers 378
communicants, with a large Sunday-school. The
stated that , more money had been raised in
his parish during the past year that at any previous
time, and that the church is more actively engaged
'than ever in relieving the poor.
Valuable Iron Property for Sale.—
•In another column of our paper to*day the reader
will find advertised, over the name of “ Washington
Tighter, Columbia, Lancaster county, Pennsylva
nia,” what are known as the “ Matilda Furnaces
and Ore Banks,” situated on the Juniata river, in
Miffiin and Huntingdon counties, Pennsylvania,
within one mile of Mount Union Station, on the
-Pennsylvania Railroad. It represents, from what
we can learn, one of the most valuable and produc
tive iron properties In embracing twenty
fseven hundred acres of land, of which about three
hundred acres is good farm land in a high state of
cultivation, the balance being good timber land,
adapted to supply charcoal for the furnaces. For
particulars, however, the reader is referred to the
advertisement. The property is announced to be
sold 11 a bargain, and on, easy terms.”
• A.Sanitary Suggestion.—Now that an
important change in the temperature of the weather
may be expected,which, for the promotion of health
and comfort, necessarily involves corresponding
changes in diet and apparel, a word respecting the
to'be eaten in warm weather may not be
unseasonable. According to the best medical autho
rity goodftawris the most Wholesome of meats du
ring the warm weather, and without necessarily ex
cluding all others, it is regarded as a fixed fact that
a due proportion of properly-cured ham is abso-
essential to continuous good health during
/the summer months. It is probably the more gene
xahacquaintance of the public with this fact that has
created such An unprecedented demand for the cele
brated “Excelsior Haras,” (which, by the way, are
by far the most delicious and finest-flavored hams
in the country,) making it almost impossible for the
proprietors, Messrs. J. H. Mlchener & Co,, No. 142
North Front street, to supply the popular demand
for them, notwithstanding all their immense.facili
ties for doing so in this and other cities of the
Union. The great secret of the superiority of the
Excelfior over all other hams consists in the pecu
liar art of curing them, which is confined to this
■ house exclusively. The “ Excelsior” Hamß are sold
by all the principal grocers in this city, and those of
our readers who have not yet done so should use
in preference to any others, on account of their
superior excellence.

; Ah Oi:hji:m:ekt to emit City..— We know
of no private enterprise in our city in which we feel
it more hoimt pride than in the princely gallery of
art which has been achieved by Messrs. Broadbent'
& Co., the eminent Photographers, Nos., 912, 914,
and 916 Chestnut street. In all the finer and more
Artistic branches of Photography, this firm has long
Blood at the very head in this country, and the
specimens of their various styles of pictures that
dicorate their exhibition gallery are well worthy a
visit-from all lovers of art. They are literally
thronged from morning till night, week in and week
cjut, with applicants for pictures. The reputation
or this house lias become world-wide.
I Elegant Stock of Dress Goods.—At
tention i l this morning invited to the extensive
drets-goods advertisement, in another column, of
‘flics sra. Edwin Ilall Ct Co., No. 26 South Second
street. From it our lady readers will perceive that
this well-known firm offers a superb line of fashiona
ble dices fabrics, of the most desirable styles and
qualities, at a very great reduc ion from early
spring prices, havirg been mainly purchased at the
recent laige auotion sales in New; York and Phila
delphia.
A Rising Young Artist.— The practice
of Photography as a merely mechanical business,
has not been particularly fruitful in developing
much genuine genius in those who followitasa
profession ; and yet, it ia as essential for a first-rate
Photographer to be a first-rate artists, as it is for a
skilful painter to be a judge of colors. There are
some few brilliant exceptions to this general rule,
however, and one of them is Mr. F. A. O. Knipe, of
the Photograph Gallery, No. 906 Arch street, above
Ninth. He is one of the rising young artists of the
day. Every picture emanating from his establish
ment, that we have examined, bears the imprint of
artistic merit and judgment upon its face. The atti
tude of the sitter is admirably managed in order to
obtain the most favorable effect; the lights and
Bhadowß are regulated with discrimination, and
there is a sharpness and intensity about his pictures
which,’ in the larger sizes especially, we have never
seen surpassed and seldom equalled. He iB making
for himself a great reputation.
A Good Improvement in Pocket
hooks.- Our attention was, yesterday, called to a
finely-improved Pocket-book recently invented and
patented by Mr. Maeon, No. 44 North Sixth street.
It is one of the neatest and most convenient articles
in the pocket-book and porte-monnaie line ever in
vented, and iB certain to become a great favorite
with the public, being at once compact, admirably
arranged for holding the largest quantity of noteß in
the smallest bulk, and so perfectly divided into con
venient pockets for the various denominations of
our currency, that the advantage of adopting it will
be seen at a glance.
Summer Boarding.-— lt will be seen, by
reference to an advertisement under our “ Railroad
Dines,” that a large number of private boarding
houses along the line of the West Chester and Phila
delphia Railroad,via Media,have made arrangements
with this road, whereby gentlemen wishing to lo
cate tbeir families in this delightful section of coun
try during the summer months can have the conve
nience of riding back and forth at low rates. Seve
ral of the parties named in the advertisement are
among the most respectable families in the State,
and well known to many of our citizens. offi
cers of this road deserve much credit for their efforts
to accommodate our people in a matter of such real
importance to their health and happiness, and we
have no doubt their liberality will be largely re
sponded to.
General Hooker Fights a Ra'ttle
and- Gaiks a Victob-t.— lt is stated that General
Hooker has crossed the Rappahannock with fifty
thousand men, met the rebels,-and thrashed them.
Good for Hooker! We hope he has, and that he
will “hit ’em again.” In the meantime, let it not
be forgotten that our own enterprising and pa
triotic fellow-citizen, Mr. W. W. Alter, the.leading
coal merchant of Philadelphia, if every man to
whom he has sold good coal were, to become his
soldier, would have an army of more than fifty
thousand; and it is a well-known and undisputed
fact that, in the way of furnishing .the best coal at
the least price, he has long since gained a stunning
victory over all competitors. Send your orders to
his yard, Ninth street, above Poplar.
Gentlemen supplying themselves with
new hatß to-day, as hundreds no doubt will, should
remember that the ton hats of the season can only be
had at Charles Oakford & Son’s, under the Conti
nental Hotel.
Messrs. E. G. Whitman & Co.’s fine,
pure spring Confections are now ready on their
counters,, and they embrace, among an endless
variety of other novelties, delicious roasted al
monds, fine cream candies, rich chocolate pre
parations, sugar plums, fine quality mint can
dies, bon-bons of the finest , flavors, secrets,
elegant mixtures, taffieß, French nauget, all made
up fresh for their counters every day, and from the
choicest materials. Their prices, moreover, are un
usually moderate, while their confections are unsur
passed in the world.
Messrs. C. Somers & Son’s Great
Clothing Emporium, at No. 625 Chestnut street,
under Jayne’s Hall, is now justly regarded by gen
tlemen of taste as the place of all others in Phila
delphia to b & suited. The. ready-made garments of
this house are got up, in the very best manner, ri
valing in style, workmanship, and materials, the
clothing made up by the generality of merchant tai
lors to order; and their prices, considering the ex
cellent character of their clothing, are extremely
moderate. So that, under all the circumstances, it
is not surprising that Messrs. Somers & Son’s es
tablishment should be, as it is, a very popular insti
tution.

where housekeepers can procure Butter and Cheese
so reasonable in price and reliable in quality-as at
the stand of Mr. Slocumb, in the Eastern Market,

is unequalled for its purity and richness of flavor.

“A Fool and His Money, &c.” — The
Pacha of Egypt has just had made for himself, in
Paris, a dessert service consisting of twelve gold
plates, richly inlaid with diamonds, costing 50,000
francs each; six champagne glasses, costing 30,000
franeseach; six small wine glasses at 18,000 francs
each, and a dozen spoons arid forks at 6,000 francs
each. The plates and champagne glasses each con
tain more than a thousand diamonds, ..The money
wasted on this flummery would have been sufficient
to have kept the Pacha in decent clothes all his life,
and to have supplied elegant uniforms and iron-clad
vests to a regiment of Ms soldiers, had it been judi
ciously expended at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall
of Rockhill & .Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut
street, above Sixth, Philadelphia.
The Sun rises and sets; tlie moon
waxes and wanes; stars and planets keep their
constant motions; ihe air is tossed by the winds;
the waters ebb and .flow, to their conservation and
purification no doubt, to teach us :that we should
ever be in action, and buy our summer garments at
the palatial establishment of Granville Stokes, No,
609 Chestnut street.
The Common Belief that the Hair
cannot be reproduced on bald heads is erroneous, and
at variance .with the known principles which govern
its growth. Each hair is a hollow tube, through
which there is a constant circulation maintained by
the blood, which circulates in minute veins to the
glands or vesicles which secrete the hair. By this
circulation the hair is nourished and held fast, its
glossy color giverfand prepared, and each hair covered
with the finest oil. Anything which diverts or takes
away the blood from the scalp, or impedes its free
circulation to the glands or the roots of the hair, will
step its growth , cause it,to turn gray,fall6jf, and leave
the head bald. Cqgtinuoua mental exertion, trouble,
and various kinds of disease, thuß produce baldness,
or loss of hair. Knowing the cause, we can ra
tionally attempt to counteract the evil by restoring
the circulation of the blood through the scalp. This can
be done by the application of a proper stimulant,
when the hair will spring forth and grow luxuriantly!
The most certain article for this purpose, and the
only one which has gained and maintained itsrepu
tation through a long series of years, is Jayne’s Hair
Tonic. Thisarticledoes stimulate the scalp, causes
a free circulation of the blood through it, and does
not injure the young hair &b it springs through the
scalp. Acting upon principles which can be under
stood by any person who will give the subject a
thought, it recommends itself to every one requiring
an article of the kind. By a faithful application it
will stop the hair from falling out, or becoming gray,
and in nearly every case reproduce new hair upon
heads that have been bald for years.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
BY THE BARD OP TOWER HALL.
In times more innocent than ours,
When “ children of the larger growth”
Could yield to love and sport with flowers,
And (child-like still) conld cherish both,
In that blessed time the First of May
Was made a joyous holiday. :
When Earth her floral crown assumed,
And birds in gleeful chorus joined,
Then, while the face of nature bloomod,
•Maidens and youths their brows would.hind
With chaplets, of the various dies
That every smiling field supplies;
And one fair damsel on that day
Was chosen for the Queen of May,
And many a.brilliant flowery gem
Was wreathed to form her diadem.
Tho } times have changed, the First of May
Is still a most suggestive day;
For when May blossoms shall appear,
And songs of joyous birds we hear,
We know that we, with'proper wear,
For Spring’s caresses should prepare;
And then to Tower Hall, we hie,
Quite sure to find a good supply.
