THE NEWS.
Tna splendid success of Col. Grierson’s raid is de
tailed at length in our columns. It doubtless sur
passes in variety, and even importance of achieve
ment, Stoneman’s* raid. upon. Richmond. Eight
hundred miles travelled in sixteen days comprehends
Grierson’s eventful journey from upper Mississippi
into'Louisiana. He cut his way through theene
jhy’s country with two regiments of cavalry, destroy
ing on his route four millions of rebel property, cap
turing''over a thousand men and twelve hundred
./horses, demolishing a camp of instruction with all
Its equipments, cutting the communication on the
•Great Northern and New Orleanß and Jacksonrail
,ioads, and destroying a large number of cars, tele.
.graph .wire, water tanks, and army stores. The ex
pedition left its mark on every railroad in Missis
sippi. Paßßing through a host of dangers, and work
ing great injury to the enemy, Col. Grierson halted
«oii the Ist of May at Baton Rouge, and thence
pushed on to New Orleans, where he waß received
with enthusiasm. This raid, which .is one of the’
most extraordinary exjftoits of the war, occupied
oply seventeen days. ,
Thu Polish question is attracting earnest atten
tion from the cabinets of Europe. Notes have been
addressed to the Czar by the British and-Austrian
Governments. They call the attention of the Rua-
Bian Emperor to the periodical dangers which
threaten the peace of Europe, from,war agitations
and military repressions which take place’in Poland, •
and state plainly that reforms are needed to end
them. The Czar, in his reply, tells the two Powers
that it is eviden t to him that the Polish struggle has
;?been used against him by others, “as an encourage
ment to revolution. 51 The. foreign communications
‘• aggravated the position, without showing any way
of solving the difficulty without aelf-ftbapenUat,”
In fact, the notes tiie Poles ‘‘to continue
the struggle. ss Concessions might have been made
to Poland, previous to their reception, but now such
a course would involve abdication,, Baron Brunow,
the Russian minister in London, in a conversation
With' Earl Russell, stated: There were prospects
afloat for altering the map of Europe. In these pro
jects compensations to Russia were included. Rus
sia entered into none of these projects. She wanted
no compensation ; she held by this present territorial
arrangements of Europe, and hie (Baron Brunow)
trusted Great Britain would do so likewise,” The
Morning Po&i re maikß that while the Russian Cabinet
‘is. inditing conciliatory npteß, it is preparing the
most violent means of restoring order at the point of
the bayonet. If the insurgents do not lay down
their arms by-the 12th of May, the whole kingdom
Will be declared in a state of Biege, and.martial law
will everywhere be administered by an unscrupulous
soldiery.
Mr. Ottenbeko, United States consul to Mexico,
arrived in Washington with voluminous despatches
from Minister Corbin, who. is, now in good health.
Mr. Ottenberg left Mexico on the,l6th nit., and Vera
CiuzMay Ist. The political condition of affairs at
ibe'capital was entirely Batisfactory„to the Juarez
Government. The opinion of well-informed Ameri
cans in the city of Mexico is, that the French ex
pedition has already received its death blow. De
sertions from the French army are very large, nearly
two thousand soldiers havinggoneover to the Mexi
cans within the last three months, and disease is
also thinning the French ranks.
Major General Hurlburt reports to the Com
mander-in-chief that Vicksburg papers announce
the defeat of Gregg’s forces, at Raymond, by a force
from Gen. Grant’s army, whoiafterwards drove them
from Mississippi Springs towards Jackson. Gen.
Joseph Johnston waH in command in that vicinity.
Subsequently, according to the Chattanooga Rebel ,
General Grant captured Jackson after.a hard day’s
tight. Jackson is the capital of the State of Mis
sissippi, and is the terminus of the Jackson and
Vicksburg Railroad: Its capture, therefore, pre
vents the rebels at Vicksburg from receiving rein
forcements from the direction of Mobile.
The Richmond Enquirer states thatthe presence

The war has depopulated labor, leaving many places
so destitute of help that. even women have been

The Kusso-Polish Complicity.
The European, diffiouity arising out of the
-revolt .of the Polescontinued when the City
of New York in ail steamer left Queenstown
on. the 7th inst. Russia had received the
impressive remonstrances of France, Eng
land, and Austria. These protest, as’vigor
ously as diplomatic etiquette permits, against
the , periodical recurrence of revolutions in
Poland, and suggest, as the only way of se
curing permanent peace in that country
; that the Czar shall place it in the condition
provided for it by the' Treaty of Vienna in
May, 1815. Austria puts forward the addi
tional, and plausible 'plea that it is impossible
share of the plunder ’ and
partition of Poland; not to feel the effect of
eV Sdetrtf P t CC CloSe . to her frontier.
Besides the fonnal remonstrance against
coutmuems misgovernment of Poland
sent by Lord Russell ft, Lord Napier at
St. Petersburg, with; a request to ebrnmui
nicate it to Prince Gobtsottakoto, Minister
to the Czar, an.impprtant conversation! hid •
subsequently taken place in London between
Lord Russell 'and Baron Brunow : the
Russian'Ambassador to England. In’this
it. was stated that the then purpose of Eng’-
land was pacific, but that it .was hard to say
Now longit might'.so continue; that the in
surrection; in Poland might assume gigantic
proportions ; that “ the atrocities on both
sides might be' aggravated and extended to
a wider range of upd-that, ijf the
Czar took no'steps of a coneiliatory nature,
dangers and complications, not at present in
contemplation, might hrise; Finally, Lord
Bussell, disavowed any desire on the part
of England to change the map of Europe,
by depriving Russia ' of any territory, fthis :
■would seem to prevent Poland’s becoming
but that the Emperor could
end the insurrection by granting an amnesty
to those who.would lay down their arms,
and by restoring the benefits of free institu
tions to Poland.
In fact, though Lord Russell did not
hint at such points of resemblance, the si
tuation is this : Suppose that starving, dis
contented, and misgoverned Ireland were
to break into rebellion,- and hold its own
for months against the arms, the wealth, and
the power of.her Saxon conqueror; that
the prolongation of the contest were to in
duce the Great Powers to remonstrate with.
England, calling on her to destroy the parch
ment ■ Union of 1 1800, and- restore the Irish
Parliament; and that, all the time, Ire
land, which once would have been content
with simple “ Repeal,” should now aim at
•obtaining perfect nationality and indepen
dence. These are what Poland battles for;
and these, are what Prance, England, and
Austria arc resolved she shall not have.
Not national independence, hut to remain
part of the Russian Empire, as settled by the
Congress of Vienna in 1815.
It is said the Czar considers the three
fold remonstrance addressed to him not only
as a pressure upon himself, but as ah en
couragement to the revolted Poles—calling
on them to continue the contest instead of
asking them “ their arms pre
vious to an interference in their favor.” If
they had done this, the Czar, it is suggested,
would have gone onward with concessions;
but these are impossible now without an abdi
cation. Still, the last word is that the Czar
will negotiate the Polish question on the
basis of the Treaty of 1815. Let us see what
that is.
What was called “ the Kingdom of Po
land 1 ’ was then nominally established by the
Emperor Alexander 1., and received a new
Constitution by which a biennial diet or par
liament was guaranteed, !fit consisted of a
Senate for life and a chamber of deputies, ) a
separate, responsible ministry, an indepen
dent judiciary, a free press, and a national
army of 50,000 men, all Russian soldiers be
ing ordered to evacuate Poland. This com
paratively happy condition of affairs did
not long continue —could not , from the
want of hamiony between the Poles and
their foreign, rulers; from the tyranny of
the Grand Duke Constantine, the Viceroy;
from the natural discontent at the misrule
which was crushing the life out of the coun
try.. In 1830, a revolt broke.out, which,
lasting nearly a year, took all the physical
force of Russia to put down. Then com
menced a series of manoeuvres to swamp
Poland by denationalizing and Russianizing
that country and her people. In 1833, again
in 1834;''In 1846, and also in 1848 ;' and
finally, in 1861 and 1863, the Poles have
taken to arms against their rulers. The point
now before, the world is, will Russia give
Poland a nationality, a free parliament, a
free press, an : independent judiciary, a na
tive arniy, and a wise, humane viceroy, with
a ministry responsible to the laws of the
country ? This is what Alexander I. gave
her under the treaty of Vienna in 1815, and
in their present* situation, the Poles ought
not to get less, nor take less. If these be
refused, what course will the remonstrating
Powers take for Poland, and against Rus
sia ? As Hamlet said, 11 Aye, there’s the
rub.” England evidently does not desire a
war at present, with any Power, notwith
standing heT recent anti-American bluster
and bravado. Austria, herself possessor of
part of Poland, will probably hold neutral
if war should arise. France, with the
shadow of its Mexican failure casting gloom
and doubt upon the Tuileries, may seek to
employ her armies agamsftlie foe that de
feated them, with the aid of the elements, in
1813. Other Powers, such as Italy, S weden,
and Denmark, may throw their strength
against the Czar, whose only ally appears to
be the King of Prussia, apparently within
reach of the probability of losing his own
crown, because of his systematic violation
of the Constitution of 1850. ..poor. as it is.

will not soon, nor easily, be subdued by their
former tyrants; but, as the very existence of
the Russian Empire may depend' on pre
venting Poland from regaining her nation
ality, we are also persuaded that the Czar
will make this a war of extermination rather
than he defeated. If even France would
aid the Poles the result would scarcely be
doubtful.
LETTER , FROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
-Washington, May 18, 1863.
Foreign nations are beginning to realize
that the great body of the American people
are resolved that the war for the mainte
nance of their Government shall be con
tinued until that end has been successfully,
thoroughly, and substantially consummated.
There is now no considerable party in the
loyal States, North or South, that does not
make this ultimatum the basis of its plat
form and the inspiration of all its actiofis.
Even Fernando'WoOd has been compelled
to disavow 1 the idea of peace on any terms,
and the traitors themselves, like those who
sympathize with them in the Old World,
are slowly opening their eyes to a fact
which contains more terror to them than
all the armies that are advancing upon
their soil. indeed, could it be
otherwise'? Not to speak of the natural
and social difficulties in the way of separa
tion, what citizen of a free State would-ever
consent to disunion, in view of- tlie effect
such a catastrophe must have uponliis own
section, among foreign Powers ? Heretofore
the title of American citizen was a passport
to universal respect, in many cases to es
pecial distinction, in other- lands. What a
degradation it would be for one who lived
in New York or Pennsylvania, while visit
ing Europe, to answer the question whether
he belonged to the Northern or the Southern
Confederacy ? And how this degradation
would lie intensified when he discovered, as
soon lie must, that the aristocrats and des-.
pots, and their followers and believers, re
garded the’ citizen of the North as an object to
be shunned and despised, and the citizeiTof
the slaveholding South alone worthy of their
favor and their confidence ! Preparatory to
the elections of this and next year, it is con
soling and refreshing to notice' the alacrity
with which the politicians of all sides, are
placing themselves upon the idea that, the
Union can never be dissolved, and that the.
war must be continued until it is secured.
The friends of Mr. Lincoln’s Administra
tion must not be surprised, thcrcforc-if rihft
-n ,ii tii. ucvouon to the Eepublic. The
notorious sympathizers with Secession,- who
' have heretofore had the lead in the Demo
crntic party, will be coldly avoided or pub
licly discarded, and men who are known to
he m favor of a vigorous prosecution of the
Warput into their places. This programme
should admonish the Republicans and loyal
Democrats to adopt such measures as will
insure unity and success. They cannot be
too careful in selecting their candidates.
Personal aspirations must be made to give
way to the public good. Encouragement
and generosity should be exhibited to all
Democrats who are known to he sincerely
■ opposed to the rebellion and in favor of the
poiiey of -Mr. Lincoln’s Administration.
We must remember how nobly and
how generously thousands ot Democrats
have not only gone to the army, but have
rallied around the President in the recent
.elections. The manner in which they came
forward in Philadelphia and in'a number of
counties in Pennsylvania last October, and
the manner in which they rescued Connec
ticut from the sympathizers with treason
last April, can never be forgotten.- I know
how they are appreciated and honored here.
1 know how the President and his Cabinet
delight to recognize their patriotic ser
vices. These Democrats are not men
"who seek position at the hands of the
Republicans, and look for ,compensation in
tbe way of official recognition; but for that
veiy reason they should be sought out and
put forward to represent those eternal prin
ciples to which they dedicate themselves; in
the army and in civil life. The hour for
mere party movements, and party chi
canery, and narrow intrigues, has passed
aw ay. "Wc must save our country at every
hazard, and we can only do that by acting
in the most liberal, enlightened, and mag
nanimous spirit. ' Occasional. °

Great Excitement—'Tile Negro Brigade
and Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
The large common, near the Bethel Church and
south of the Capitol grounds, presented a busy scene
this morning. The first colored regiment of the bri
gade now forming was. mustered into the service of
the Union by officers of the regular army, in the
presence of an immense crowd o'i ladies and gentle
men, white and black. The utmost enthusiasm pre
vailed among the troops, and ‘ithey were generally
strong, healtliy-looking fellows. They manifested
an eager disposition to understand the art of war.
No attempt was made to interrupt them. What
would have occasioned a ijiob two years ago is now
hailed by the whites as just and proper, particularly
when they see that the,more colored men are mus
tered into the service J £he less white men will be re
quired. The wildest, excitement prevails among the
colored population /and the contrabands are parti
cularly anxious to, go into the army. To-night Un

here, at ihe Washington Theatre. Who will deny
that we have fallen upon new times, and the spirit

A Gallant Act.
Major General Hkintzblman has issued an order
complimenting Colonel De Forrest, of the 6th
New. York Cavalry, his officers and men, fortheir
gallant rescue of a detachment of the lßt Virginia
Cavalry surprised and overpowered by rebel gueril
las under. Major Mosbhy, and for the thorough
manner in which they defeated them.
Wounded of tlie Twelfth Army Corps.
Over 1,600 wounded soldiers of the 12th Array
Slocum), have been received into
the corps’ hospital, at Acquia creek, since the late
battle. ; 200 wounded—among them 40 officers—were
brought in yesterday from the enemy’s lines.
These wounded report a great want of assistance
in the enemy’s lines, and some of them were obliged
to pay rebel officers seven ; and eight dollars before
the latter would render them assistance. The
wounds of many have not been attended well, and
in-some' cases maggots have been.dug out by the
handful. They were poorly provided for even with
what was furnished and Bent over from our own
supplies.
Captain Weed.
The friends of Captain Stephen Wbed, chief of
artillery, of Sykes’ division, say that he was not
killed in the recent battle, as was reported.
What the Rebels Mean to Do.
The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch writes, May 14, the following, which
may mean something and may not:
“ Hooker apprehends ‘ a-crossing,’ I believe, more
than we do. His backers take hope that we.may
‘fall back’ from weariness and exhaustion. And
Richmond idlers may suggest , the same apprehen
sion. Believe it.not, even of appearances should
ever countenance the thought, and then remember
that in the rising’tide the waves apparently recede,
but only to gather strength and volume for further
conquest of the shore.”

DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH.
Communication with Savannah.
Port .Eotai,, S. C., May 12 —Farther develop
ments concerning the late flag of truce show that
the rebels consider the port of Savannah closed to
all communication with us. The rebel officer gave
as his reason for refusing to receive Capt.'Thomp
son’s communications that the Savannah port had
been closed by order of Beauregard for over two
months, and that no further communications with
flag of tfuce,in that port wouldbe allowed. .Captain
Thompson replied that General Hunter had not
been, informed of this order, as he should have
been, by the officer, in command at Savannah, and
asked the officer to go back to Savannah and confer
with General Mercer in regard to the matter, and
see if the communication could be received.
The officer did so, and returned in an hour, say-
and Commodore Tatnall, in command of the ram
figet, regretted that any misunderstanding had
arisen, or that we had not been informed of the
closing of the port, but that they could not receive
Captain Thompson’s communication. They pro
mised, however, to communicate with General
Beauregard that night, and return an answer to
Captain Thompson at Fort Pul ask iV the next morn
ing. The rebel officer then left, and Capt. Thomp
son returned to Fort Pulaski and awaited the pro
mised reply for two days, when, nothing being
heard from the Savannah dignitaries, or the greater
luminary at Charleston, Capt. Thompson returned
to headquarters, and here the matter rests.
POSITION'OF AFFAIRS HEAR CHARLESTON.
The rebels are still entrenching themselves on the
Bo'uthern extremity of Morris Island and making
their defebßive worka stronger. Our troops, on the
other hand, progress with the work in hand, and are
daily showing the rebe’s that we intend to hold
Folly Island at all hazards, whether as a base of
operations, or merely as a point of rendezvous, they
can themselves divine. _ , : '
The report* of the “sailing of a second expedi
tion,’’ wliich I see published in one of the Northern
papers, may create a false impression. There has
been, as yet, no second expedition against Charles
ton. The troops, doubtlesSj referred to imthe above
mentioned-were the regiments sent to’Folly Island
to strengthen our position there after Gen. Hunter
made up his mind to hold it permanently..
There is no indication as yet of a “ second expe
dition ” in the direction of Charleston, unless, per
chance, you call the continuance of the first expedi
tion the second. The news from Folly Island is in
significant. The rebel pickets have halloed across
the inlet during the paßt week, first that General
Hooker had been defeated, ahd then that he hadn’t.
Such indefinite statements, I can assure you; cause
the troops at this place to anxiously await the next
mail, which will bring us full particulars from “ the
back-bone of rebellion.”

Gen. Palmer, accompanied by an escort of twenty
five men, and Bixty men from the Middle Tennessee
Cavalry, charged with the sabre on a detachment'of
the 2d Georgia, numbering eighty, five men, com
manded by Lieut. Col. Thompson. The rebels had
no sabres, but fought desperately for a few moments.
Our force killed several of the enemy and brought in
eighteen prisoners," among them Captainß M. O. Ed
wards and Willis, the latter of the 3d Georgia Ca

CiHcriiKATr, May 18.—A letter from Russellville,
Ky., states that on Wednesday a party of sixty
mounted guerillas fired on a train near South Union.
The guard on the train returned the fire and routed
the rebels, with a loss of one killed and one wounded.
The rebels are collecting a large cavalry force
south of the Cumberland river, and a large infantry
force in East Tennessee, and intend to advance into
Kentucky this month under .Breckinridge.
THE FIGHTAT MILTON—COLONEL HAM-
In correspondence of the Chicago Tribune, 'dated
Murfreesboro, May 15, mention is made of the 79th
Pennsylvania Regiment, and its excellent com
mander : - v 5
. “On the late successful expedition, under Col.
Hall, when he was attacked at Milton by a superior
force of the enemy, the 3d Brigade, Ist Division,
(Rousseau’s,) commanded by Col. Hambright, in
the absence of Col. Starkweather, was sent'by a
forced march to his (Hall’s) assistance, and gave
him material aid'in repelling the enemy. This bri
gade, composed of the 79th Pennsylvania, 24thllli--
nois, Ist and 21st Wißconßin, with Bush’s 4th In-;
diana Battery, was never mentioned in one of the
many reports published. Again, this same brigade,.
commanded by Col. Starkweather, was selected
by Gen. Reynolds, although not of his division, to
go with him on the expedition which he made to
ward MclYlinnvillc lately. The brigade did its lull
share of the duty.”
The Latest Federal Accounts from. Gen«

Generals Logan and Osterhaus were marching to
wards Jackson, driving General Bowen with a rebel
force, reported to number .15,000, before them; while
General Grant was marching upon Black river and
expecting to engage Pemberton at the bridge over
that stream. . ■
Pembertons’s force was estimated at 60,000; and
said to be strongly entrenched near the bridge. A
great battle at that point was imminent.
The health of the army waß better than it hftß
ever been before. -
The rebels, 300 Btrong, with two pieces of artillery,
fired into the steamer Warner, fifteen miles above
Greenville, on Thursday, killing two and wounding
four men. The fire was returned, and several rebels
were killed.
[Correspondence of The Press. ]
New York, May 16,1863. .
THE POLITICAL SIGN'S
of the times, ae revealed in this latitude, are not less
puzzling to common minds than the military situa
tion in Virginia and elsewhere. Your correspondent
is no novice in the strategy of party, and, has seen
enough of the artful machinery of politics to be ca
pable of witnessing tolerably queer moves and con
junctions without being greatly astonished; but
there is an oddity and incongruity ab,out the present
combination of political signs which must be hope
lessly bewildering to all but the favored few who
may know what it all means and is tending towards.
It is generally supposed that we are engaged, in a
war with the seditious slaveholders of the South,
and that they and their abettors are our mortal* ene
mies, who must certainly ruin us if wedonot ruin
them. The war is .certainly in full, operation now;
yet we find nearly all the loyal papers of the day
warmly eulogizing the recently-slain rebel leader,
Stonewall Jackson, whom’ even-: the Independent
lauds as 11 a noble-minded gentleman,, a rare and
eminent Christian!” There cannot be a doubt
that Mr. Vallandigham has-long been a malignant
aider and abettor of the rebel cause, or that his dual
arrest and trial by court martial have been ne
cessitated "by anything less than a serious peril to
the public safety ; yet such loyal papers as the Etie
ninij Post and Tribune call upon the President to re
lease him unconditionally, and abuse Genefal-Burn
eidefor causing bis arrest!. It is supposed that the
return of so many disbanded volunteer regiments to
this State within the past fortnight has. materially’
strengthened the Administration or "Union party
here; yet the Opposition or “ Copperheads” grow
more insolent every day. Such a man as the Hon.
James Brooks spares no pains to provoke, if .pos
sible, some Administrative act of justice that shall
give Gov. Seymour an opportunity to call out the uni
formedmilitia, and virtually declare war against the
Union. To r day a virulent little weekly sheet called
the Copperhead is publicly hawked about the streets;
and on Monday, the truculent Daily Kcm of Ben
Wood will come out again; preparations are
being opehly,made for the holding of a great sedi
tious mass meeting on the 3d of June; when the worst
element of the population will undoubtedly betin
cited to resist the impending national conscription.
Add to these notable political signs ofthe times the
''tYiilifso V ; ' ; th**' ''clli r
“Ir o nfpurtfii g*So wiTthe rebellion in the field, and it
seems strange thaf the money market should 'sfill
continue as placid as though war and sedition were
but dreams. Thus, with the domestic treason, that
aims at violently overthrowing- the Government,
growing apparently stronger and moredarlng every
day; the loyal joining with thedisloyal press in glo
rifyinga dead rebel general; a revolutionary conven
tion infull prospect; and the loss of a great battle to
deplore, public spirit is yet as buoyant and full of
confidence as though the nation stood in the highway
• of perfect-victory,; with unanimous fraternity and
loyalty to sustain her conquering arma!- The “situa
tion” is.certamly anomalous, andean only be account
ed for by the supposition “that all things are not what
they seem.” As upon the foggiest and moßt discord
ant day a man will experience a presentiment of
some approaching good fortune, in the then unac
countable lightness of heart and , physical elasticity
that he feels, so ■it must tie that some
piece of good luck, very near at hand, is producing a
•national inspiration to high spirits in advance of its
coming. Either such must be the case, or this is an
era of deep infatuation, destined to be quickly, fol
lowed by calamities,to which a merciful Providence
sometimes renders men blind, that they may not
suffer by anticipation what must prove haTd enougS
for poor humanity to bear in realization. It is as well,
however, to accept the brighter side of the pictare
for the true one, and believe that the coming eveata
now casting their fantastical shadows before <aie
blessings. ; . ; . ;
• BRIGHT WEATHER
is once more our portion; and with brilliait
fashion thronging the streets, Bumptuous luxuiy
basking in a thousand shop windows, the air echo
ing with stirring strains of martial music,
the avenues of pleasure' alive with gaiety, it is hai|
to realize that war ia anything more than an lin
blest dream, from which the birds of May‘havejus\
awakened us. Even in the spectacle of the
ing regiment, all tattered and begrimed, marching
to the vivas of thousands of spectators, there are
more suggestions of fanciful romance than of stern
reality. The muffled drum, the regiment with arms'
■ reversed, and .the hearse with its coffin wrapped in
a flag, will sometimes touch the gay lounger with
a sense of 'something darker than the pageant; of
redolent life moving around , him, but he forgets'it)
in a moment, and bustles along as briskly aid
thoughtlessly as ever. \
THE APPROACHING CONSCRIPTION V
is attracting more serious attention here, Bince Sej
cretary Stantonhas signifiedthat the three-hundredj
dollar exemption clause in the act will be operative
only in certain contingencies.- I take the meaning
of this intimation to be, that said clause will be?
either enforced, or left out of sight, as the public!
voice may be for or against it, when the time for.
drafting comes. How Baid clause can be justly con 4
strued into anything invidious against the poormani
I can hardly understand; for if it is wrong to fix the
price of a substitute at $3OO by law, it would - cer-j
tainty ii fortiori, be more unjust to fix a higher Bum;
and if a higher sum would increase the injustice, it
certainly could be no merit in the act to shirk the
point altogether, leaving the field open for substi
tute “brokers” to charge, any exorbitant prices
they please. But, be that as it may, Marshal Nu
gent ia hurrying on hiß preparations for the earliest
possible execution of the act; the deputy marshals
are pushing on the enrolment, and the draft, will
commence early in July, or in time to have: the oon-.
Bcripts properly drilled for the fall campaign.
- the popular amusements in this
metropolis, and the vilest bruisers in the purlieus
are mentioned with as much consideration and criti
cal approbation in our respectable daily journals, as
though they were so many ornaments of society,' or
masters of high art. Two or three days ago a couple of
fistic ruffians, named Dunn and Elliot, gave one of
their beastly exhibitions over In Jersey, attended by
25??*:» tkoy.sand kind^d. spirits' who varied the
entertainment by fighting gloriously amongst them
selves. Happily, the JefSey authorities managed" to
capture about twenty or thirty of the animals, and
Will probably give them the benefit Of k n indict
ment by Grand Jury. Last evening, Joe Ooburn,
the new “ champion” of the prize-ring, honored the 1
admiring public with a processional display of his „
science at the City Assembly Rooms. Next week, si
the dlite will have an opportunity to witness a fight •
between Messrs. J.d. Orem, of Col., and O. Qeoghan,
of this city. The police, &b usual, make pretence of
attempting to prevent these scenes of ruffianism .and
incentives to-rowdyism, but really wink at them.
• The lighters are trained for their disgusting work
under the very noses of the police magistrates, and
go forth to the ring without the least attempt at ae- j
crecy. In fact, the evil is rapidly upon the increase, J
and the" country people on Staten Island, Long
Island, andin other rural suburbs, live in’perpetual
-terror ofvißits from the ‘'fighting crowds,” who
have about as much respect for unprotected private
property as so many wolves would have for a »heej>-
fold. ■ '

aristocracy of Brooklyn, by eailing at their houses,
asking interviews with the ladles in the parlor, and
suddenly retreating at the very moment when, by
the rules of etiquette, it devolved upon him to state

is . a resident of Carlton The visitor asketl

parlor by a servant. The lady had no sooner-made
her appearance, however, than the eccentric gent

and was gore before a word could be said todetain

patched a servant in vain pursuit ofhim,butit does
not appear that ;he took, anything. Since tlien he
has made similar mysterious calls upon other ladies,'

have been manufactured to account for his myste
rious proceedings. The truth, however, seems to.

A Just tribute should be paid to the
[memory of the man who, in 1723, gave employment
ito tbe fugitive printer boy, Benjamin Franklin; who
published the first newspaper in Philadelphia in
U 732, and three years later was the bookseller of that
pity at, the sigh of the. Bible, in. Second Btreet.
“I dressed myself : aB neat as I could,” Jays
Franklin ‘in his -autobiography, speaking of his
arrival in Philadelphia, “ and' went to Andrew
Bradford's, > the printer’s, and found in the shop
old _man , his father, whom I had seen
in New York; and who, travelling on horseback,
had got to Philadelphia before me. He introduced
me to his son,,who received me civilly, and gave me
breaklast, but told me he did not at present want a
hand : but there was another’printer in the town,
one Keimer, who, perhaps, might employ me; if
not, I should be welcome to lodge at his house. The
old gentleman said he would go with me to the new
printer’s;” . .
The celebration will be one of great Interest, and
will be participated in by many persons from this
city, including numerous members of the Pennsyl

The Board of Survey.— The stated
meeting of the Board of Survey was held yesterday
morning, at their office, in Fifth street, belo w Wal
nut. Mr. Thomas Daly was called to the chair.
Petitions were received for the alteration of the
grade at Seventh and Catharine streets; for the re
vision of the same on Robinson street, between the
main street and the Manayunk Railroad, Twenty
first ward ; Germantown avenue and Armat street;
Chestnut street, between ForLy-Irafc and Forty-se
cond streets; Forty- third Btreet, from Christian street
to the Baltimore avenue, and T welfth Btreet, from
Girard avenue to Thompson street, all of which
were appropriately referred. A report with favora
ble recommendations was subsequently received as
to the last-named petition, the expenses incurred by
the improvement to be borne by the petitioners. Pe
titions for new sewers were received and referred for
the localities named, as follows: On Morris street,
from PAusyunk road to Broad street; Fifth street,
from Lombard to Pine; Hurst street, from Lom
bard to South ; Twenty second street, from Sum
mer to Cherry; Market and Twelfth streets;
Hamilton Btreet, from Nineteenth to Twentieth;
Brown .street, from•’ Seventeenth street to Gi
road avenue; Coral street, from Front to Dauphin;
Huntingdon street, from Emerald to Jasper; and
Trenton avenue near Huntingdon Btreet. A, peti
tion for one on West Logan Square, between Race
and Vine streets, was granted, the petitioners to
pay the expenses. A petition, for a drain on Perth
Btreet, north of Parrish, was referred to a special
committee, who recommended the laying of a pipe
on Perth street, north of Parrish, for the purpose of
carrying off the water from the cellar of the Warren
street school.
STUYVESANT,
The deed of dedication of Jasper street,.in the
Nineteenth ward, was approved, and several other
dedication deeds were properly refused. The Board
then adjourned.
Meeting of Discharged Soldiers.—
Another meetingof discharged soldiers was' held last
evening, for the purpose of organizing companies, to
do provost duty. A committee waß appointed to
organize one or more companies, and tender their
services the Government. This is a good move
on the part ot the discharged soldiers. It is their in
tention to do provost duty, and let the able-bodied
men who are now detailed for that purpose - at once
be transferred to more active fields. Similar moves
among the discharged soldiers are, we understand
being made in other cities.
Operations OF the Christian Com
mission.—we learn that during the past year the
Christian Commission have sent out 600 different
persons, about 100 of whom are at present in the
field among'the 'soldiers. Some 6,000 packages have
been distributed, valued at $300,000. The Commis
sion will continue its humane work, which was never
more needed or timely than at present.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
There is nothing very interesting to note in the trans
actions on the street to-day. Gold was a little weak,
ruling at 149^@150-^operations-limited. Old demands
are Very scarce, and are considered the same as gold.
Government securities are steady. Money market over
eupplied at low rates. V * .
The conversions of ’currency into the five-twenty *ixes
at the office of Jay .Cooke, Esq., continues, a gradual in
crease being perceptible in each day’s operations/ At
4 o’clock P, M. the amount subscribed has reached two-,
million dollars; a ver.v fair beginning for a new week.
The Stock Exchange was again tbe scene of wild ex- 1
cifcemenfc to-day. The demand was eager for all kinds '
of stocks, and a slight advance was not considered.
Prices"generally advanced; afewsecurities suffered from
irattention; Beading and Schuylkill Navigation being
the leading fancies. State fives were active at 101&- New
City sixes at 111}£—the old at 108. Pennsylvania Rail

A , Perfect Portrait.—Notwithstand
ing the attention paid to the art of portrait-painting
.in almost all ages of the world, it has been reserved
for the developments of modern photography to
perfect this invaluable art. We-have examined
pointings by the best-masters, ancient and modern,
but the finest and most expensive oil paintings that
have ever been produced, fall far below the exqui
site Ivory type and. Wenderotype pictures, taken by
Broadbent & Co., at their galleries, Nos. 912, 914,
and 916 Chestnut street. Their portraits, taken in
these and kindred styles, in all sizes, are the.most
wonderful specimens of life-like accuracy that have
ever been# produced, and they are justly attracting
universal attention.
