was believed by all who listened to its recital.

that they might -do better by deserting, and joining

Exciting News from Cliairleston—l>eatli of
Gen, Stonewall Jackson,
[Special Correspondence of The Press.!
. . Fortress Monroe, May 13, 1863.
Three British men-of-war lie anchored in Hampton.
Roads. Their trips to Charleston are made with
-provoking regularity, and when they return they
have little or no intelligence ,to impart; whether
they give the rebels as little news we cannot cor
rectly determine. H. B. M. steam corvette Rinaldo
steamed rapidly up tlie Roadß this morniQg, and
dropped her anchor in the middle of the stream, op
posite the fort, andinclOEe proximity to her dark
hulled neighbors, with the bully names—Desperate
and Challenger. Through the kindness of Mr.
Ainsworth, who tendered a tug, I was enabled to
board her, but could procure no Charleston papers
for love or money, though I learned that they had
not been permitted to go past Sumpter; that the
monitors were still atPort Royal, and the residue of
the fleet at their wonted stations. Great, sorrow
was manifested in Charleston because of General
Jackson’s death; flags fluttered at half-mast, and
crape displayed. No wonder they
mourn—for in Gen. Jackson they experience the
lobb of a host. He expired at Guinea, Va., or Sun
day; the-10th inst., at S P. M. His body has since
been conveyed to RichmondrThe following obituary
is copied from the Charleston Daily Courier of
May 11: -
tidings of a personal loss that , could reach
our readers would cause deeper and more general
and sincere sorrow than will be felt on learning the
death ofGenefal Thomas J Jackson. His wounds
andean attack of pneumonia .have resulted fatally,
as a despatch' informs our readers. The greatest
and best men must die, and may die often when, in
all human judgment, their work is but well begun.
The cause lives on; and the cause for which Jackson
labored and won his deathless fame; and for which
dying, we doubt not, he uttered the last syllables,
from lips that had been well trained to prayer, is
under the favor of God beyond all necessary com
plicity, with the lives or fortunes of individuals.
Johnson’and Jackson! The greatest of our martyr
ed generals. The cause for which they devoted their
lives ,is well worthy of all the efforts, toils, and
sacrifices, which may be required of. others. Let us
thank God for their example, and especially for the
brilliant example of a Christian hero, patriot, and
general, affbrded in the life and career of Jackson.
Let us honor tbeir names with due sorrow, but
more fittingly and lastingly with imitation, and let
us resolve, God favoring and blessing us, to Bhow
that they have not fought and died in vain.”
This will be melancholy tidings for his aged and
patriotic father-in-law, Rev. Dr. Junkin, who fled
from his home in Richmond, and iB now a refugee
in your. city. The loyal father-in-law still lives ;
the flag he loved so well, and for which he suffered
so’ much, still waves. The rebel son-in-law is dead,
and.the'Confederacy he fought for not established.
Bountiful harvests are expected in the South.
Harvesting is about to commence, in Borne localities
immediately. A correspondent from Selma, Ala
bama, Bays the product of the coming harvest will
be immense.
Among the Yankees captured by Gen. Forreat in
his late raid were many men who were citizens of
Southern States. The Courier' hopes the Governors
of the several States will promptly make demands
for’the retention and trial of these traitors under
State laws. It will be worse than idle mockery to
•turn them loose on exchange.
The Columbia South Carolinian says flour is com

Richmond papers of Friday and Saturday furnish
a number of interesting articles, which abound in
comic falsehood. Contradiction is unnecessary, ex
cept in the rebel summary of losses. To the certain
knowledge of one of the most reliable correspond
ents, the national forces captured, and possess over
4,500 prisoners, There can be no question that theif
loss, at least, will fully equal ours.
The Richmond Sentinel , of Friday, says that Gene
ral Hooker took advantage of the furious storm' of
■Wednesday evening, and “• run.*’ Theilxaminer, of
the same date, declares that had Gen. Hooker been con
tent to have-keid the Fredericksburg Heights , and his
position on the left, Gen . Lee must have fallen back de

our grasp.

CAPTURED ARMS—GOSSIP OF YANKEE
PRISONERS.
[From the Richmond Examiner, Saturday; ]
The last of the trains just mentioned came from.
Hamilton’s Crossing. : In a conversation with Capt.
Btakey, the mail agent, we heard some interesting
details.
At Hamilton’s Crossing there are more muskets
piled on either side of the road than have ever;been
seen together since the war.. They were left on the
battlefields by the Yankees, and many thousands
more there are which have not yet been collected.
The number of cannon captured by our army is
not yet known, but it is said to be over fifty. It is
doubtful whether the pieces taken from the Wash
ington Artillery were recaptured. It is moat pro
bable the enemy hurried them to the rear, that they
might hereafter be paraded as trophies and boasted
over.
The Yankee prisoners admit that they were aw*
fullj beaten, but say that it was owing to the fact,
which they never.cease to proclaim, that they have
no generals. They believe their troops are as good
as ours, but that we beat them by the superior skill'
of our generals. Many of the prisoners say that
Hooker fell, or waß knocked from his horße, during,
the battle of Sunday. They know nothing more
than that they, saw him fall. This was, doubtless,
the origin of the story that he had been wounded,
and had his leg taken off.
One'of the Yankee officers brought to this city
told a gentleman who was in conversation with him
that Burnside was not beaten at Fredericksburg,:.he
was repulsed, but that Hooker had gotten “ perhaps
'the d—dest drubbing that ever a general had.”
All our troops are jubilant over what they consider
as beyond all comparison the greatest victory of the
war. They say the victory of the 13th of December
was not a circumstance to it.
We have omitted to mention that the Yankee offi
cers sent down on Thursday night were put into the
ladies’ cars, while the lop of the same cars were
covered with our wounded. The scoundrels should be
madeto walk to Richmond , if well enough, and if hot, to
remain where they are until (he last one of our wounded
■ has beeribrought doiim.
THE RESPECTIVE ROSSES.
From a surgeon who left Fredericksburg on Thurs
day, we learn that the surgeons in General Lee’s
army make the following': approximate of
our loss in the recent battles :
"Wounded .7,000
Ki11ed........ . 900
Missing...,. ............................1,200
The estimate is liberal, and it is believed that our
actual loss will fall below, rather than exceed, that
Bum.
The enemy’s loss is more a subject of conjecture,
but from the number of dead that encumber the
ground for miles about Ohancellorville and
Fredericksburg, and the prisoners now on their way
to Richmond; it is believed that it must be between
twenty and.twenty-five thousand.
THE LAST PASSAGE OF THE RAPPAHAN
NOCK.
The Rappahannock has been passed, probably
for the last time, by the grand Army of the Potomac.
It is scarcely possible that the successor of Gen. Ju
das Hooker will again attempt to carry it on to
Richmond by the mail route. Where the Army of
the Potomac will next turn its dismal steps, and
where it will next be beaten, is yet unknown. Tt is
certain, however, that it must move somewhere.
From the beginning of the war to this hour it has led
the life of that famous “ Joe,” whose name and fate
have been rendered familiar to the world by the most
popular of living writers :
“ This boy,” says the constable, “ though he has
been repeatedly 'told to, ivon’l move on.”
“I’m always moving on, sir,” cried the boy, wi
ping away his grimy tearß with Ms arm. “I’ve al
ways been a moving and a moving on ever since I
was born. .Where canT possibly move to, sir, more
nor I do move?” .
“ He won’t move on,” says the constable, calmly,
“although’ he has been repeatedly cautioned, and,
therefore, I am obliged to take him: into custody.
He’s as obstinate a young gohoph as I know. He
won’t move on.”
“-0 my eye! Where can I move to?” cries the
boy. quite desperately, clutching at his hair.”
( Tnis interrogatory cry of poor Joe might be
adopted and uttered -with heartfelt earnestness by
the Grand Army of the Potomac, when next it is
taken into custody by,tHe Hei-ald or the Times, and
sternly told to move on, by Lincoln. Where,
indeed! No army ever made such a variety of
movemento; all have'been equally unsatisfactory.
Wherever it has moved on, no matter where, or
which way, it has, moved to a beating. No Booner
had it come into existence, than it heard, in tones of
thunder, the order, “Onto Richmond !” It moved
on—to Manassas. It.has been “a movin on” con
tinually since, aud to similar purpose.
The Grand Army of the. Potomac has never achieved a
success. It kasbetnpcriodicaUy defeatedfen’ two years;
and cannot, without such lying as would hurt the con
science of a prostitute; claim a single victory. The.an
?ials of history •may be searched in vain for another mili
tary organization which has been/paid more;supplied
more , recruited 'more, deserted more, moved on more ,
, been more whipped, or which has -run away such a mon - j
sfreus ntimficr of times. On All these points; it may
proudly claim a pre-eminence over the most famouß
failures of recorded memory; What will become of
it now? Must;it be thrashed any more? Are its
legs equal to. yet another race? Oau 2.40 be gotten'
out of it again ? i ;
-. What, too, will become of Judas Hooker? He be
trayed his master, like the other Judas, and like
him, the only thing the “ reward of iniquity” has.
gained for him, has been tbiß new Aceldama—this
modern Field of Blood. Will he go out, like his pro
totype, and hangbimuelf there! The prisoners say
they saw him falling from his horse. Bid he, too,
there “burst asunder in the midst, all his bowels
gushing out?” Fortunate is he if it were so. No form
of sudden death wouldnot be preferable to the iiifa
mous depths of disgrace into which he will uow
tumble. After betraying and disgracing McClellan
Burnside, Sumner, Franklin, and everything that
wears even the outside ,of honor in the Yankee
army; after declaring to his nation that all their
failures were simply want of generalship; after
thrusting himself forward as the true man of the
hour ; alter having received In superfluity every
thing that the wildest fancy could crave; taking his
own time; without a scapegoat or an excuse possi
ble—he is to-day the worst whipped commander this
continent has known. In what condition does he
return to those who hearkened to his brag? Pope’s
reception was .happy compared with what he wili
get from the national scavengers of Washington
and New York,
GENERAL EARL VAN DORN.
In a notice of the career and death of this un
scrupulous reb£l, the following, which concerns his
part in the outbreak of the war, is related of him ; :
“When he arrived at New Orleans, with the Star
of the V eat, having on; board a strong force of
Texas volunteers, ‘ eager for the fray,’Van Dorn
conceived a characteristic adventure, which he is
understood to have applied to the Confederate Go
vernment (then holding its seat at Montgomery) for
permission to execute. He proposed to run up 'along
side of Fort Pickens, with, the stars and stripes
flying at his masthead, and pretending that he had
been sent by the United States Governments to ob
tain an entrance with his Texans into the fort, and
tlien to take possession of it in the name and for the
us * r Confederacy. But the proposition was
not favorably received by the Confederate President,
much to the disappointment and chagrin of Van
Dorn, to whom such an adventure would have been
but a labor of love.”
REPORTS FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK.
CjKCiNNATr, May 14.—The Chattanooga Rebel
contains a despatch from General Bee to Jeff Davis,

THE REBEL POSITION IN TENNESSEE.
Cincinnati, May 14. —The rebel position in Ten
nessee is thus described by a correspondent of the
Atlanta Confederacy: “ Our right rests at McMinn
ville, and the line extends thence westward to Man
chester, and Shelbyville, to Columbia;
it forms an arc of a large circle, curving slightly to
ward the south, while the rear extends as far south
as Estelle Springs. Our right flank is protected by
Elk creek, Canny Fork, with its numerous tributa
nes, abrupt peaks of the Cumberland mountains,
and several thousand daßhing, dauntless cavaliers,
under, chivalrous, impetuous John Morgan. Our
left is sheltered by Duck river, and by the bravery
and vigilance oi General Van Dorn and his devoted
followers.”
NORTH ALABAMA.
Cincinnati, May 14.—A rebel captain,. writing
from Huntsville, Ala., under date of May 3, says :
“"Webave hadagay time, during the past fifteen
days, hunting Abolition devils, whose advance and
retreat through the valley is traced by burning dwel
lings,: corn and baccn, and innocent women and
children • leaving the roads in their noble efforts to
escape from their more than savage foe. Thanks to
G od and Forrestnot a ,Yankee treads thesoil of Ala

are many belonging to the Ist Alabama (Federal)

GENERAL NEWS.
The Charleston Daily Courier of the 11th contains
the following despatches, which principally refer to
operations in the Southwest: . *
YiCKsnuiKf, May 7.—The enemy have made no
movement this side of Big Black river. The ene
my’s cavahy is reported above Carthage. A party
of Yankee cavalry crossed at Hankersoa’s Ferry,
on Thursday night, captured Mr. Owen and son,
planters, and recrossed the Big Black again.
YiOKSßuno, May B.—The enemy are using the
spade on the other side of the Big Black.
The Yankees, occupy Utica, Hines county, Mis--
Bissippi. • , . .
Banks has published an order in New Orleans, re
quiring all registered enemies, by the Ist of May,
to take the oath or prepare to leave the Yankee
lines on the 16th of May. The oath is far more
binding, and will subject all who take it to Yankee
conscription.
Yioksbukg, May 9.—Nothing new from the
front to-day. The enemy are landing-troops at
Young’s Point. It is supposed they are destined to
reinforce Grant,
The Whig newspaper office was destroyed by fire
this afternoon. The origin of the fire is unknown.
Among the Yankees captured by Forrest, are
many citizens or natives of Southern States, We
hope the Governors o! the several States will
promptly make demand for the retention and trial
of these traitors under State laws. It will be worse
than idle mockery to turn them-loose on exchange.
An act has passed the-Confederate Congress esta
blishing that the flag of the ; Confederate States
shall be as follows, viz: The field to be white, the
length double the width, with the Union (now used
as the battle flag,) to he a square of two-thirds the
width of the flag, having the ground red thereon, a
broad saltire obblue-bordered white, and emblazoned
with mullets or five-pointed stars, corresponding to
the number of Confederate States.

Indian Troubles in Minnesota.
A despatch from St. Paul, 9th inst,, to the Chicago
Tribune, says:
“There are further reports to-day of Indians ap
proaching the frontier settlements. For some time
Sioux spies have been lurking aboutthc Winnebago
Reservation, counselling with those of that tribe dis
affected by the proposed removal. They were en
deavoring to induce them to join’ in a war against
the whites. '
“A party of Winnebago braves captured and
killed three of the spies last Thursday morning nth).
They cut out their hearts, chopped their bodies into
email pieces, and distributed them among the tribe,
and held a grand war dance. The "Winnebagoes
have formally declared war against the Sioux and
their-new location,, which will enable’them to
wage it.
“ There were ten spies in all. One that was killed
said they were sent from a large war party, who would
be at the Agency, a few miles above Mankato, in
three days, if they did not return.
“Troops have been sent to guard against any at
tack, but the settlers are much alarmed. A portion
of the Winnebagoes have been brought to Mankato,
preparatory to removal. They are closely watched,
to prevent an outbreak.”
WENDELU PHIEEIPS ON GEN. .HOOKER.
—Now, for the present, I believe in Hooker.
[Great applause.] Men say he has faults—faults
whichsomeof his predecessors did not have, [Ap
plause and Perhaps he has, but in my
opinion a diamond with a flaw is better than a
pebble without. [Renewed applause,]. I. do not
set one defeat against him ; I think, as my Lord
Bacon says, “that a soldier’s honor should be of a
strong web which r slight matters won’t stick to.” I
believe Hooker is of that kind; He means to fight j
he knows howto fight, and these two are new ele
ments at the head of the army. [Applause and
three cheers for General Hookeri] Now, on the
other side of the Rappahannock—why, ho w pleasant
Hooker’s reign has .been! Instead of that cradle
lullaby, that we used to hear a . year ago, there
comes how to us—all is not quiet on the banks of the
Rappahannock; [Applause and laughter.] On the
other side there are three elements. Lee means to
fight.; he knows how to fight; he iB deadly in
earnest. The Government, when it sent Hooker to
the front, sent there a man who mean? to fight, who
knows how to fight; and when last week they sum
moned Sigel to his side—[applause]—they put ear
nestness to the front also. I look upon it as the
first, drop or the coming shower. We have had men
that neither know how to fight, nor meant to fight
no ability. Now we have, got ability. To match
the other Bide we want earnestness, ideas, a willing
ness to sacrifice everything; a readiness to accept
the issue, And courage and an industry in thinking.

[Received in Mexico at I V. M. ]
To the Minister at War:
The bombardment of yesterday was against Carmen,
San Agustin, and Merced. , Our defence works have not
been injured, for the attack was foreseen.
The enemy’s army has not been able to advance a
single foot, in spite of .their efforts. We maintain our
line in the blocks of houses,. Oav troops feet a perfect
conviction that Puebla will.not be taken by the French
army., With this conviction they rest upon their arms,
constantly pointed against the enemy, loaded with thr*e
bullets, and armed with the bayonet.-
. The French army, according to prisoners and our spies,
is convinced that it will not take Puebla, because every
house is a barricade, and every block a castle.
The entrenchments of our first line of defence are ten
meti es thick. Every block, outside and inside, has two
linos of these entrenchments. Tho second line of blocks
of houses is fortified in the same manner, and so with
the third. - •
The peaceable portion of the population carry on their
business under the projectiles of the enemy, for they are
accustomed to them, after 30,000 which have been show
ered upon the city and its defenders.
The fires which they cause are extinguished immedi
ately. - • .
In the city there are eaten every kind of fresh meat,
and other fresh provision?, which are brought from out
side, deceiving the vigilance of the besiegers;-.. Of the
other articles of food there is of all kinds, and the best

The cannon firing is beginning at the points of the
ganta of Cholula v and the entrance of the streets of San

On the the' inhabitants of At
lixco and its vicinity; gave the aixrm^»mimiti r.i n g the
appearance of Carvajal with several thousand men; the
bells were set ringing, the streets deserted, and the
churches filled wilh women. Tie sentinels on the look
out signalled, in fact, the approach of some, squadrons
which appeared to b« wandering around the town.
On the morning of the 34th there
in the plain, several squadrons and various bodies of in
fantry, about a league oif, taking different directions, as if
they intended to surround Atlixco, .and hem in com-
the Torres the expedition.
As tlie enemy’s forces Wetl sepfluuted by large spaces of
ground, Col- Brincourt ordered liis attack in such a man
ner that, while he cut oif their retreat by occupying a
bridge, he could be fighting them in detail-
His plan succeeded admirably. The African Chasseurs
and the dragoons of Peira broke the enemj* ? s cavalry, so
that they were completely disorganized, and introduced
the greatest confusion among the infantry.,
Trying to gain ground, the aboveforces, m order.tore*
COter themselves and return to the charge,proceeded in
the direction of the bridge of Osoeopan, being Ignorant
that it was occupied by two companies of Zouaves, one
hundred of Marquez’ infantry, and the section of artil
lery,. The fugitives# -being received with bullets, were
thrown in confusion ill JTfety Mrt of the plain, where
they were bersevenngly followed up.
This first result of the combat prevented the most con
siderable part of the enemy’s division from daring to
front the Franco-Mexiean forces. The cavalry aban
doned the infantry, w>.o retreated hastily, incomplete
confusion, leaving a large number of-killed, wounded,
and prisoners, arms and horses.
According to the information given to Colonel Brin
couvt, the troops which attacked hirq amounted to six
thousand men, under the command of General Ecliea
garay, the chief of Comonfort’s staff, and consisted of
twelve battalions ofinfan try* a battery of rilled artillery,
a battery of mounted artillery, and twelve squadrons
under the'commahd of Carvajal, Aureliano, Rivera, and
Porfirio. Garcia de Lean. The latter was killed by M.
Jorka, a Moldavo-Wallacbian officer.
General Echegaray had left the town of Hue.ioringo,
taking, imprudently, a cross-road, along which carri
ages could not j>ass. This delayed the passage'of his ar
tillery, and explains the concentration of his in'antryat
the foot of the hills of Tianguis, whilst his cavaliy, full
of confidence, advanced to tue danger. ,
The behavior of Colonel Ortoz de la Pena was so bril
liant that General Forey has decorated this valiant com
mander with the cross of the Legion of Honor."
; MEXICAN ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE,
Sax Geroximo, April 15, 1363.
To the Minister at IVar:
General Bcheagaray sends mo word from San Buena
ventura, dated to-day, at SA. 3i„ as follows: -
Complying with the Orders that you wefa pleased to
communicate tome, I proceeded, the day before yester
day, in the direction ot Atlixco,with the object of attack- -
lug the enemy that wore proceeding from Cholulo to the
former place, and to recover it and take from, the enemy
the provisions that they were carrying, if possible.'
Yesterday,tat noon, the enemy was observed in the plain'
Eituatcd between AtlixcoSand the declivity of San Jaau
Tianguismsnaico,'and a fight took place between our
cavalry and a part of the in/antry with the enemy’s
force, composed of artillery, cavalry, and infantry.. In
the beginning, the enemy succeeded in obtaining some
advantage over our cavalry, on which account I or
dered the batrallion of infantry sent to their support to
fail back to the position which I bad previously selected
to give or resist an engagement. Then the enemy formed
in infantry column, advanced upon onrposition as far as
the. foot of the declivity of Tianguisman&lco, opening
upon us a fire of artillery. >
This was not answered for half an hour, with the hope
that they would advance within musket range; hut not
having done so, their fire was answered by our artillery,
and immediately they retreated to Atlixco.
The result of the combat was that we remained masters
of the field, there having fallen into our power about 500
head of cattle, mules, and horses, about 300 sheep, about
SO Arabian liOxotJ, and several arms.
Such a result could not be obtained, as was’natural,
without some misfortunes, of which I.will inform you
when 1 receive the accounts of the commanders of the
forces that fought on that day. \~ •. ,
In virtue of the instructions that you wore pleased to
give me, I returned last night to this place, where I ar

MIGUEL.MaRIA ECHEAGARAY,
Sax Buexaventdea, April 15,1563—5 A. M.
Hayaxa, May 9.—The Vera Cruz correspondent of the
Diario, of this city, writes as follows to that paper, with,
the date ofApril 30: .
On the 20th there was received here the following
: news, the truth of which it is not easy to guarantee,
namely,,the arrival of'Toblado -at Mexico with; 14,000
men, from Guanajuato and Sinaloa. Of this force, 7,000
had been taken to assist Commonfort. •
The Frenchhad made an attack-on Puebla. The above
named force, in conjunction with Commonfort, repulsed
them, forcing them to abandon the positions of San Ja
vieranst St. John's Hill, and to occupy their original
position of Arnahtcan, on ttieroadto Orizaba.
It was likewise reported.that Marquez tad been taken
. prisoner by Gommonfort’s troops.
That communication with Puebla having been opened
.by Ccmmonfort.on the side of Mexico city, he had enter
ed into the city 300 wagon'loads of provisions and articles
of war. . -
That the loss’ of the French up to the 10th ult. waß
great, principally cf artillerymen and engineers: that
they were in want ofprovisions, and, above all, of am
munition.

city, from, ft relative at Jalapa, dated April 23, and
which, as itSproceeds from a favorite and prejudiced
soutce, may be more fully credited than extracts from
news-papers, or the letters of correspondents. It is as fol
lows:
“Puebla maintains itself still firm,-although, per
haps, you may have heard of the capture of the fort of
San Javier, against which they put parallels with forty,
pieces of cannon, and. reduced it toa heap of rubbish;
but we had the good fortune io siveall the artillery and
park of cannon. They afterwards opened a breach iu
the block or the hospital, where a French column
entered, which was met.by our forces, and, after a
rather severe fight, the French had to run away
from the block, without being able to collect their
dead, wounded, and arms, owing to the severity of
our fire. They; have five or six blocks in the vicinity
of San Javier, but they have not been able to penetrate
any further'; and Gonzales Ortega, Conimander-in-
Chief of the Army of ihe East, has determined, that, if
they take Puebla, it shall be its ruins, disputing every,
block with them as if it were a fortress. Gen. O’Horan
. sallied onto/ Puebla with a column of 1,5*0 horsemen,
haying to pass, between two places fortified by the
: French,'ivho, aware .beforehand of his sally, stationed
against him a column of 1,2C0 men of the Slst Regiment,
with tlieir main guard to iutercept his passage, hut tliev
; driven hack, having many killed, wounded, and
taken prisoners. Gen. Echeagarny gave them a blow be-,
tween Atlixco and the ’declivity of San Juan, m which
he took from the French, mules, native and Arabian
horses, over SPO head of cattle and StO sheep, according

Pennsylvania Historical Society.
The Hiatorical Society of Pennsylvania held a stated
meeting on last Monday evening, which was largely
attended. The president, Joseph R. Ingersoll, an
nounced that the paper of the evening would be
“ An Historical Sketch of the Rittenhouse Paper
Mill, the first erected in America,”
Mr. Horatio Gates Jones, the corresponding
sectary, then proceeded to read the essay, which
he had prepared by request of the Society. He
that it was generally believed that the Ivy
Mill of Willcox, on Chester creek, in Delaware
countf, Pa., was erected in 1714, and was the first
P.^) ,€ £ i? America. The first' paper mill was
Biiuateo in Roxborough, near the line of German
town ; was built in 1690 by a company -composed of
a number of Philadelphians and William Ritten
house, of Germantown; that Rittenhouse was a
Hollander by birth and a paper maker by tra<fe, and
was thachief man in the partnership ; that William
Bradford, the first printer, was also part owner of
the mill r but that finally, about the year 1704, Wil
liam Rittenhouse and his son Claus or Nicholas
became the sole owners of the mill. The founder
died in the year 1708, at the age of sixty-four, having
been born in the Principality of Broicle in 1644. °
He was succeeded by his son, Claus, who was bom
in Holland, June 15th, 1666. He continued to sup
ply Bradford, as his father had done, both with
printing and writing paper, even after Bradford re
moved to New York. He also supplied the paper
on which Andrew Bradford printed the Weekly Afer
etcry, the_ first newspaper published inPennsyl vania.
He died in May, 1734, at the age of sixty-eight years,
and gave the mill to bis son William, also a paper
maker. William left it to his son, Jacob Ritten
house, who carried on the business, and died in
1811. The mill is now used as a cotton factory. In
connection with the subject, Mr. Jones remarked
that after a lapse of 144 years it was not a little re
markable that a lineal dependent of the same Rit
tenhouse, Mr. Martin Nixon, of the Flat Rock
Paper Mills, above Manayunk, was now engaged
in that honorable pursuit in the Baine vicinity, and
that since 1854 he had manufactured paper from
straw, which is used in supplying all the paper upon
which one of our daily papers, the Public Ledger, is
printed. . J *
t c l os £°£ the ' Gssa y Col. J. Ross Snowden
stated, that he had occasion to make some examina
lions m reference to the manufacture of-paper when
he prepared a sketch of the life of David Ritten
fcouse, the first director of the Mint. This biographi
cal sketch is published in Mr. Snowden’s work on
the national medals of the United States. He said
that it was Interesting to note that the Ritteahouaes
established theirpapermill near Germantownabout
Theeame time that similar works .were commenced
in England, perhaps the samelyear. The Ritten
houses brought the art from the Netherlands to this
country, and the English works were established by
enterprising manufacturers from the same country,
then so much in advance in scientific and useful arts.
Mr. S. also said that the statement made by Mr.
Jones in reference to the manufacture of straw
paper induced. him to say thatktraw paper was first
manufactured at MeadvilJe, Pennsylvania, as early
as 1830. This manufacture was commenced by
William Magraw, and he believed that it was the
first of the kind in any country. The experiment
was first tried in the manufacture of bonnets from
straw pulp.
Ocotlax,,April 14,1863.
On motion of Mr. Snowden, a resoli’tioa was
passed presenting the thanks of the society to Ho
ratio G-. Jones, Esq., for the essay on paper which
he had read, and requesting a copy for preservation
among the archives of the society.
Jeeper Harding then exhibited a book, the leaves
of which were manufactured entirely from, corn
husks.
Several communications were reported by S. E*.
Smedley, the recoiding secretary, as having been
received from Dr. O. w. Holmes, of Boston, Bev. R,
Betbell Ciaxton, J). D., Rochester, C. Richardson,
New York, Hon. Chas. F. Stanabury, "WaaMngton,
and from a number of others, residents of this city
acknowledging the receipt of notices of their election
to membership, manifesting much interest in the
prosperity of the society, and expressing a desire to
vco-operftte in carrying out the objects for which it
was established. The librarian’s report was also
read, informing of numerous donations received
during the last month from individuals, and from
similar societies in this country and Europe.
Dr, B. H. Coates announced the death of a valued
member of the society, "Wm. Darlington, M. D., of
YFeet Chester, Pennsylvania, widely known as the
“.Botanist of; Chester county.” He stated that the
Doctor had been honorably acknowledged by bo
tanists of Europe generally, and waa considered the
representative of that branch of science in Lia native
couqty. In the early partof Ms life he was actively
engaged in the practice of medicine, and enjoyed a
high reputation in that part of the country; later in.
life he was engaged as a leading mania the manage
ment of prominent moneyed institutions, and waa
well vereed in local history and the biography of the
early settlers of this State.
He then offered the following resolutiopg. jvhic**-
were passed: ', „„,, n,n M mi■■ |i il | mIITTIi i i com-
of the-members to the famUy
of the deceased. ’ .
Resolved, That a member be appointed to prepare
an obituary notice of the deceased for the Society.
•*- Resolved, That these proceedings’:be published m
the daily papers. . . . „ xr
The president subsequently appointed Dr. is. H.
Coatesf Thomas Robins, William Duane, John Jor-i
dan, Jr., and William Wistar to constitute the coni
;.mHon. James Pollock Announced the death Of Dr.
William FI: Denny,-of Pittsbiwg,„and j spoke of the
high .soeial. qualities which characterized him, and
"the great loss which the Society had sustained. He
dieoff suddenly in this city, while on a visit, having
only four'weeks ago read before us the memoir of
our late vice president, Neville B. Craig. A resolu
tion was then offered by him and adopted, providing
for the appointment of a committee to prepare suit
able resolutions on the death of Dr. William H.
Dennv, expressive of the feelings of the Society.
Hon. James Pollock, Dr. Rene La Roche, J. Ross
Snowden, Solomon W. Roberts, and Charles S. Brad
ford were appointed on the committee. _
There were elected to membership Nicolaillmui
ski, of the Imperial University of ICasan, Russia,
and several resident members, when the Society
adjourned,
A Inew Atlas of Philadelphia Or tv.
■—A new atlas of the city of Philadelphia, and one
which is at onee minute, extensive, and correct, has
lately made its appearance. The manner in which
this work has been designed and completed sug
gests years of toil and endeavor, and reflects credit
upon all who have been engaged in it. The illumi
nated title-page, printed on stone and in colors, is
designed from the coat-of-arms of Philadelphia, and
is most admirably executed. The descriptive title
page furnishes a synopsis of the whole work. It is
.prepared from official reeordß in the survey depart
ment of the city of Philadelphia, and from private
records of original surveys, and exhibits on a large
scale Sthe size of the blocks, the width of the streets,
courts, and aUevs, the location of churches, public
buildings,, paries, squares, cemeteries, railroad
routes, and extent and present position of
the buildings throughout the city. Not only the
already opened streets aTe represented, but also
those surveyed, laid out, or projected. They are
„ marked out accurately m distinctive coloring. All
: the wharves are exhibited, and the lines denoted to
which they may lawfully be extended. The old as
well bb the new names of the streets are given. The
passenger railway routes are all of them traced out.
A list appended to one of the maps shows 'the pre
sent extent of: every Btreef, the area of the public
squares, tbe-height above high water in the Delaware
of the highest points in the city, the height of water
in tbe principal reservoirs, the locations of the aca
demies, asylums, city halls, hospitals, hotels, librae
ries. literary, scientific, arid - art associations, mar
ket-houses, medical colleges, public halls, theatres
'-and offices, railroad dSpdts, institutions for the re
lief of-.the poor, etc., and'fifty other places. The
volume is printed on heavy sized paper, prepared
expressly for the purpose, and which admitß of both
wriling and erasure. The labor, expense, time, and
. reliable official assistance, renders it of more than,
usual value. Among plans that are accurately
mapped, Woodlands Cemetery may be mentioned ;
Laurel Hill, Fairmount, Pennsylvania Hospital,
Fort Mifflin, - the Richmond tressel and railroad
tracks,-Girard College, with the relative location
and dimensions, of the adjacent buildings accu
rately shown upon the ground plan ; the United
States arsenal—indeed, every point of interest in
the city proper and in the suburbs are localized with
a particularity which is very desirable in so useful
a work of reference. All the coloring has been done
by hand, except in some of the.more intricate and
tedious portions, .which'were stencilled. In the
suburbs, the uridulatory character of the ground is
depicted by shading, and the woods on the outskirts
are likewise designated. The volume is bound in
turkey, and presents a neat and even elegant ap
pearance. It has been compiled by Mr. S. L. Smed
ley. So much pains has been bestowed on its pre
paration, and so much accuracy is evident in the re
sult, that it is probable its ultimate success will be
commensurate with both the one and the other.

~ PA3 I .HOAD Coli.tston.—Yesterday after
noon, one of the Fourth and Eighth-streets passen
ger cars came in collision with a Spruce-street can at
Eighth and Spruce streets. One of the horses of the
;oimer car was seriously injured, and a number of
passengers made a narrow escape. It has been a
growing evil, and. a?great- Bource of complaint for
sense time, in regard to the speed in which the
Eighth-street cars are driven. It seems that the
drivers are in the habit of giving their horses loose
reto from about Pine' to walnut- streets, and then
walking them from Walnut to Market, in order
that passengere may be picked up between the latter
squares. It is time this nuisance were abated. If
some attention is paid to it at once frightful accidents
may be prevented. Railroad cars have no more
rightß than private vehicles, and should not be allow
ed to travel at a greater speed.
Ciold Smothered to Death.—A drun
ken, miserable woman, having a baby, five months’
old, was placed in a cell at the Sixth*ward Btation
bouse last evening. She laid on the child, and smo
thered it to death.
