General Graht, at latest reports, had evacuated. - Jackson, Missi, after, destroying the State House and the rebel stores. Jacltson, which occupies so ■essential a position relative to Grant’s operations, "is the capital of Mississippi, and the terminus of the 'Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad. “In the city are stations of the Southern Mississippi, New Orleans, and Jackson, the Great Northern,' and thejneks fiurg and Jackson Railroads. It is sixty miles from Port Gibson by the turnpike, from Raymond about fifteen miles,' and from Vicksburg forty-five miles by rail. Theee facts explain the distances which' Grant lias recently travelled. Governor Pettul, in alarm of Graht’B invasion, has. published a frantic pro clamation, calling upon all the people of Mississippi to rise and expel the invader. ■ : On the return of General Dodge from his expe-‘ . dition into Alabama he literally, swept the country of provisions and forage, live stock and negroes. It ,is,estimated that he burned one and a half millions of bushels of com, much’ of which was shelled for transportation to the army; captured-and destroyed five hundred thousand pounds of bacon; captured one thousand head of horses and’ mules, and an equal number of cattle, hogs, and sheep, besides supplying the whole command with meat for three weeks. He also burned every flatboat from Sa vannah to Decatur, on the Tennessee; destroyed the railroad and telegraph between Tuscumbia and De . catur, burned five tanyards, six flouring mills, and, ■ • finally, afforded the means of escape for one thou ■ sand five hundred blacks.. The most important measures passed in the last session of the first rebel Congress, which went out of existence on the Ist,' were a taxation act, for the support of the Government, the army and the navy; a currency act, to promote the funding of Confede rate noteß in Confederate bonds; the impressment act, to authorize the seizure of all produce for army use; an act to organize a general staff for the army; the formation of a new and the adoption of a new seal. The joint resolutions offering terms of peace to the Northwestern loyal States were de feated in both houses. The Southern journals still quote the necessaries of life at enormous rates, but congratulating the people upon an immense fail in the markets, and the splendid promise of an approaching harvest, which will still further reduce the price of grain, flour, and vegetables. These flattering reports of the condition of the crops come from Virginia, Ala bama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Georgia. It is significant, however, that intelligence has been received at Washington of the Bailing of a steamer from Liverpool on the 35th ult., laden with bread and bacon for the rebel army.' . In reply to an anti-slavery letter, addressed by more than 700 French Protestant clergymen to their English brethren on the subject of the American war, upwards of 1;600 of,the English olergy reply “that it ■is honorable to France and French Protestantism that it so heartily wishes the destruction of a slave .system which makes four million of negroes wretch ed, which debases their masters, and which dishonors Christianity.” They agree.thatthe success of the <Jonlederate States would put back the progress of ■Christian civilization a whole century. We print in another column the findings and sentence in the case of Mr. .Vallandigham. In ac cordance with the sentence that Mr. Vallandighain fie placed in close confinement during the war, Gen. Burn Bide designates Fort Warren in a general order, reviewing the findings and sentenie of the court. Immediately upon this order, Mr. Vallandigham de parted for Fort Warren under military escort.: Rebel Pbivateeks are being fitted out at Brazoß Santiago, within the limits of Texas, just above the mouth of the Rio Grande. If they are not soon looked after they will issue from the port, and make havoc on our commerce. A single ateamer sent to Brazos, says the Post, might inter cept the rebels in their work, and burn the two pri vateers in a single morning. Yesterday, the two hundredth anniversary of .Bradford, the first American printer, was celebrated ■in New York by specialjservices at Trinity Church, -under whose auspices Mr. Bradford long ago pub lished the first American Bible, and of which church lie was a vestryman. The tombstone of his, grave will be restored, a fac simile of. the old one having been made. Acting .Brigadier General Poster’s expe dition from Suffolk, has been a complete success. The rebels were beaten in a spirited engagement. All damage done to the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail road has been repaired. Our correspondence from the Department pi Virginia narrates a fatal mistake, by which two Federal regiments recently fired on «ach other. . The New York State Convention of the Loyal Na tional League'will be held inXJtica, on the 26 th inst Union League meetings are being held throughout New York. A great Union meeting was held at Al bany, yesterday,'to vindicate the patriotism of the State capital. .• 'The National Academy of Sciences, incorporated by Government,; has published an inaugural report. Alexander D. Baehe has been elected president, Prof. Dana, of New Haven, vice president, Louis Agassiz foreign secretary, and Fairman .Rogers treasurer.- ‘ ■ •». From a parliamentary return we learn that'there are in Canada 11,818 troops, of alLranks; of these 6,477 are infantry and 1',934 artillery, to which be long 13 batteries. Since the Trent affair’therewere cent arms and ammunition for more than 30,000 men. We learn from the San; Francisco papers that the Broderick monument is finished, and ready for th€ statue. The monument is thirty feet high. The work is massive and thorough, and the material of which it is constructed is California marble. Admiral Porter makes official report of the capture of Alexandria, which he took on the eve ning of the 6th, and gave over to Gen. Banks, who arrived on the 7th. Gen. Milroy reports to Gen. Schenck that his cavalry have had a' skirmish six miles from Win chester. Six rebels were killed and seven captured. The Chattanooga Rebel, of the 16th, says that the rebel Democratic ladies of New York have gotten up a sword worth $1,200 to present to Gen. Dee. A. large number of paymasters are in'Washing ton to receive the necessary funds for paying the entire army to the first of May. The Parkersburg branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad, damaged by the rebels bn their late raid, has jußt been repaired. ©The enrolment for the draft is to begin at. once, says the Post, all the necessary preparations having been completed. # Brig. Gen. J. T. Boyle has been appointed to organize the volunteer forces of Kentucky. PALLlthe financial institutions of St. Louis are sub scribing liberally for the five-twenty loan. The Situation in tile Southwest* Military affairs in the Southwest have at last reached a crisis, and the struggle, which is to determine whether or not the Confede racy shall/be cut in two, and the Mississippi opened, may even now be in progress. That it will he fiercely contested there can scarce ly be a doubt; for the rebel journals have confessed that the fall of Vicksburg would be a worse blow to their cause than the cap ture of Richmond; and Jefferson Davis, some months ago, announced his determi nation to hold Vicksburg to the last extre-, jnity. ~ It is virtually the left wing, of the rebel defences, and a complete victory at this point would be the inevitable precursor of the downfall of the rebellion. We have had scores of victories in this war, but very few of them have brought forth good fruit. ■ We have driven the enemy from Ids strong positions t# still stronger ones; we have planned campaigns with the view of advanc ing over so much hostile' territory, rather than of destroying so many hostile armies. And the Consequence has been, that although many brilliant successes have blessed our arms, we find ourselves making but little real progress towards breaking down the Southern Rebellion. It is only Within the last few months that we have seen a change, in the policy that controls the movements of our armies; but such a change has evidently taken place. ’ It was Genera] Hooker’s purpose not so much to capture Richmond as to capture or crush General Lee's army; therefore, the ca- yalry raid of Stoneman was projected for the purpose of cutting off communication between the rebel army and its base of sup plies.- It is General; Grant’s purpose not so much to capture Vicksburg as to capture or crush Gen. Pemberton's army; there fore, the cavalry raid of Grierson was pro jected for the like purpose of interfering 'with the. rebel communications. - -Both raids were successful ;• both developed facts of the utmost importance respcct - -dug the enemy's strength and situation; (both resulted in the destruction of ; an immense amount of property; and- both "have raised the cavalry arm of our service to itsu .true importance and' value,.' and ;s-cscued ;it' from the discredit Wliicji for a .time attached to it. The Virginia raid, for ; reasons not generally understood, did not, however, accomplish all that was anticipated : from it ; the army under Lee was reinforcod, and was enabled to maintain its position.. As ::far as we have heard, the raid in Mississippi • even surpassed in results .the expectations "entertained respecting it; the communica vj-ion with Vicksburg lias been cut off by the 'bapt'tne ol Jackson, and Pemberton can .neither receive reinforcements nor supplies.; It is plain, therefore, that, substantially the plans of General Grant, for the capture of the left wing of the rebel defences, are'simi lar to those which General llooker mapped ■ out .for the capture oT thq right wing. ■ Both liavc aimed at the destruction of rebel armies; and if the latter general hsis'not succeeded Wholiy in his purpose, he has'yet, in his own language, inflicted heavier blows than he has received. General Grant lias thus far been victorious in every engagement, and ■we have no cause to anticipate any but a successful issue to his grand un dertaking. By this we mean not merely the capture of Vicksburg, great as the triumph of such an event would be; not merely the opening of the Mississippi river, although this of itself would almost inevitably be’ attended with fatal results to the Confede racy; not merely the capture of vast quanti ties of commissary stores and artillery, and some thousands of prisoners, the usual fruits of great battles and great victories. If we .should accomplish these things, we should, perhaps, accomplish the grandest victory of the war; but our success would not he com plete, except in the complete demoralization or capture of General Pemberton’s army. If it should escape with any organiza tion, Bragg would he reinforced- Robb c'rans overpowered, and our ’ shouts of tri umph would be drowned in a cry of wild alarm from Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. It would be absurd to imagine General .Grant blind to these facts. -On the con trary, he has evinced a due appreciation of them. He'sees that if Pemberton’s army is "allowed to escape and join Bragg’s, it may return and overwhelm him. Conse quently, instead of proceeding directly against Vicksburg, he has advanced to Jackson, which is forty-four miles farther east, and in the rear of the rebel stronghold. The movement is, of course, attended with some hazard, as it exposes his communica tion with Grand Gulf, but it places the ene my in a condition of infinitely greater ha zard ; and we have confidence that it will he followed-by successful results, provided the rebels are promptly and vigorously attacked. Promptitude and vigor are elements of cha racter that have hitherto been evinced in so marked a degree by General Grant that we now confide the issue of this struggle to his hands, hoping and anticipating complete victory. • It would appear one condition of monar chies that, every now and then, there shall he some rival— some claimant for the crown, basing his pretensions upon family conneo-" tion, which he calls his “dynasty,” and, without much hope of ultimate success, oc casionally giving a great deal of trouble to the reigning powers that be. Not until the death of Cardinal York, in 1807, was England wholly freed from the claims of the unfortunate Stuart family. The king of Sweden, grandson of Bernadotte, has yet a rival in the descendant of the deposed Gustavtjs IV. One of the Holstein princes asserts a claim to the throne of Denmark. Perhaps the House Of Orange has not wholly relinquished its hereditary property in Belgium, now an independent realm, governed by Leopold, of Saxe-Coburg. Charles, Duke of Brunswick, cousin to Queen Victoria, who was literally turn ed out of his sovereignty in 1830, and has since led -a not very reputa ble life in London and Paris, may yet cherish the expectation of succeeding his brother, Duke William, who has no child. It is notorious that Otho, of Bavaria, whom the Greeks deposed and exiled last October, has very serious intentions of asserting his “ right” to the crown of Greece, if ever he can raise money and men to back him. Francis-Joseph, of Austria, hereditary Duke of Lombardy, is supposed not to have abandoned the expectation of one day again . holding his Court in ? Milan. Francis 11., King of the Two Sicilies, though now so much reduced as to have lately been compelled to sell his jewels, still writes, himself sovereign, and 'contem plates the prospect' of again ruling in Naples. The three Italian Grand-Dukes, Oof Parma, Tuscany, and Modena, j have similar .views —aware that Victor-Emma nuel is only mortal, and that his sons do not inherit his strength ot character. Don Miguel, who once got up a civil war in Portugal, ‘with the amiable purpose of •dethroning his own niece, the late Donna Maria da Gloria, is still served as a monarch, at the Chateau de Brom bach, in Baden, and, having children, may await what the chapter ojf accidents may turn lip for them. There' are three dynastic lines in France: Napoleon’s, whicli now reigns; the elder branch of the Bourbons, represented by the Duke of Bourdeaux, whom his adherents call Henri V-, while he modestly calls himself Count de Chambord ; and the Orleans house, of which the head is the Count de Paris, who served with his brother in the army of the United States during the present war. It is far from improbable that the Orleans dy nasty;may finally be restored in; France. Napoleon 111. is in his fifty-fifth year, and the chances are against his living until his only son, a child of seven years, reaches manhood. There will probably be a fresh revolution in France should Napoleon die within the next twelve years. His cousin ■Napoleon CJeromeJ may make a dash at the sceptre, or some chance may favor the views of Louis Philippe’ s grandson, and make him ruler of France. In Spain there long was carried on a san guinary war of the Succession—not that which engaged the armies of France, Spain, England, Germany, and Holland for twelve years, and was ended by the Peace of Utrecht, in 1713, hut that arising ; out of the act of Ferdinand VII., whereby; casting aside the Salique law, Which precluded his eldest daughter from becoming Queen of Spain, he declared her : his heir and placed her mother, Queen Christina, over her as Regent. His next brother, Don Cart, os, lawful heir to the Crown, took up arms to vindicate his claim, Aid then ensued the Cariist war, which lasted from 1833 to 1840. In this war, England made her usual pretence of “Neutrality,” but allowed General Sir De Lacy Evans, one of her most, gallant soldiers, to raise a British Legion in Lon don, which he took over to Spain and placed, with his own ,sword, at the service oltiie Queen’s or Christino party—this, too, in the teeth of the Foreign Enlistment Act. In 1844, Don. abdicated in favor of his eldest son, Carlos, the pmedo Prince of the Asturias, comfeonly : known as the Count De Montemolin. The, father died, .at Trieste, in 1855, but the son had made an attempt, six years earlier, to pass -through •France into Spain, but was prevented and arrested! In 1860 a Cariist insurrection was attempted, but the Pretender and his young er brother, Don Ferdinand dk Bourdon, were arrested. Seeing the hopelessness of his cause, the Count De Montemolin for mally renounced Ins claims to the Spanish throne. His brother executed a similar docu ment, on which both were liberated. With disreputable haste and disgraceful-bad'faith; Don Ferdinand, at liberty, revoked his declaration. There is another son of Don Garbos, the well-known Don Juan de Bourbon, a high minded, clear-headed, and rathei||liberal man, who had taken no part in the attempts off his family, but.,, had ad dressed the Spaniards, to show his own fit ness for ruling them, should they please to depose -Queen Isajiei., his cousin! Of coutso, liis presence in Madrid has been stri.ifgently forbidden. • Lately, however, he contrived to pass a week in that, capital. The ■htitid of the police knew nothing of his visit unffU after it had ended. It was neces sary to publish a paragraph in the Madrid Gazette, the,official paper, denying that Don Juan had seen the' Queen, his first cousin, or any of her family, but a private letter from Madrid, published in a London paper, declares that “ DON J ijan was entertained in the palace of the,. Duke De Sbsa, who is married to a sister of the King; that the cx-Infante came-to Madrid to fulfil an act of pure courtesy; that be was-- more than once received by the King and Queen, and that one evening he went do the Theatre Royal with the object of seeibg the children of their Majesties and the DiikeDß Mont , tensiEr, who were present; and lastly, .that-a recognition of the sovereignty of the Queen by the Prince is a'secret but ;acqom plishedffact, and that Don Juan will return to England, where, two months hence, he ' will .sign before the Spanish representative the solemn act of his submission. The son of Don ‘Carl.os will not he at first reinte grated in his rank and rights offlnfantc,' but will live as a strangor, with a pension of 100,000 f. or 150,000 f. a year. The fu ture will show whether his repentance is sincere.’! If this be true, the Succession dispute in Spain is virtually ended, for Don Juan de Bourbon is the only one of her cousins of whom Queen Isabella had any cause to be afraid. He is the only man of his family, and shows his sagacity by accepting ho norable terms which will restore him to the land of his'fathers. By and by, no doubt, lie will he entirely rehabilitated as Infante of Spain. If this matter has been thus ad justed, it is a fortunate circumstance for Spain, which, of late years, has made great advance as a nation—greater, in the last twenty years, than any other European Power. She has lately regained possession of St. Domingo, her ancient colony; ad vanced her reputation by a successful waT with Morocco; shared with France the honor of tbe successful expedition against the Emperor of Anam for Cochin China,J and showed unexpected boldness and discretion, last year, in withdrawing from the Mexican war into which the craft of Napoleon had seduced lffir. Spain is a magnificent coun try which, well governed, might readily be able to reassume her former place among the leading Powers of Europe. The chance of a •civil war now taken away, her future course appears ’ clear and may be prosperous. In . Our war, Spanish Ministers have not spoken vehemently about their neutrality; but they have generally observed it, with commenda ble fairness. The Pamphleteering Experiences of Mr, W. B. Feed. i Some months since, Mr. Wm. B. Beed saw proper to write a pamphlet, and, having written it, to have it published—the work of publication being undertaken by one John Campbell, bookseller. Copies were sent to various institutions of public resort, and to friends. _ Other copies, we understand, were exposed for sale. In a little while they were recalled, the sale suppressed, and the edition hurried out of the market, Qn§ copy, we believe, escaped the search, and the j)ispalc7i newspaper printed it. A few days later, the edition again appeared in pamphlet form. These facts, known in this city as matters of general conversation, were communicated to a religious English news paper—tlie\ Gu ardimir— by its Philadelphia correspondent, an eminent fellow-citizen,;, whereupon Mr. Keep sent the editor of the Guardian the following letter: Sir ; My attention, has been called to an extract of a letter from your Philadelphia correspondent, dated 2d ultimo. It contains an assertion that my “ Personal Vindication,” which you were so kind aa to notice, was privately printed, and then he adds, “Hardly three days elapsed before Mr. Reed’a po litical friendß, r perceiving how damaging it would be to him and to them, urged its suppression, and every effort was then made to prevent its being made public.” . I deaire to. Bay''to you, and to such of your readers as take an interest in me, that this statement is absolutely untrue. I have no doubt your correspondent believes it to be true, for he is a gentleman of character and honor; but being an active member of tbe political organization that sus tains the war, he breathes an atmosphere of de famation and credulity which obscures hiß per ceptions. I rarely see the communications which he sends to you, but I trust for the sake of history and common charity, that he does more justice to others than he has done to me. My views as to the present state of public affairs have been decided from the beginning, and Juivc never been and no one knows this better than your correspondent. There are other misrepresentations in the extract, which, however, I do not trouble you to correct. Do me the favor to insert this in the Guardian , and if you.can conveniently, send me a copy of the paper. I have informed your “Philadelphia Correspond ent ” that 1 have Bent you this contradiction. WILLIAM B. REED, Philadelphia, April 3, 1863. [Our correspondent insists that “the pamphlet was suppressed or withheld most carefully till a copy had been obtained, so to 1 say, surreptitiously, and pubiishedin a Sunday paper. Fifty dollars would have been given for one.” Mr. Reed and our corres pondent are both honorable men.] .. Our relations with Mr. Reed scarcely jus tify any interference in his pamphleteering arrangements ; but, as we happen to know some facts in reference to this subject, he may thank us for making one or two sug gestions : • I. Wasnot. Mr. Reed’s pamphlet printed, bound, and sent to his bookseller, and'at the same time sent to the Commercial Booms and other places, and was it not within three days suppressed ? J ' 11. Did not Mr. Reed and his friends make every effort to' recover such' of the pamphlets as were circulated; and did not. the author .him self write a letter to a gentle man- in this - city, complaining because one' of the copies had been unfairly conveyed beyond his control.? - This becomes a simple question of vera city between Mr. Reed and the Philadel phia correspondent of the Guardian. And, as we are only called upon to say what we know, from the evidence in our possession, we feel justified in declaring that the corre spondent states what is literally true, and that Mr. Reed has been impulsive and un fortunate enough to give his opinion on a subject when he was-but imperfectly ac quainted with the facts. The Guardian did a courteous and necessary tiling in assuring-its readers that Mr. Reed was an. “honorable” man, for we are afraid that the gentlemen of England will form, another opinion of a writer who speaks of this national wav as a party strife, and alludes to a loyal citizen as “an active member of the political organization that sustains the war.” When a man is base enough to dis parage his own country iu the eyes of foreigners, his character needs the strongest endorsement to save it from contempt. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, D. C., May 20, 1863. What is to be done with the gallant men who have returned to their homes after having faithfully served their country ? With rare exceptions, they do not hesitate to denounce all sympathizers with . Secession' as more dangerous enemies of the Republic than the rebels, against whom they have been con tending. I hear every day of instances of their determination to arrest and punish all demonstrations against the Government in the lr'ee States. What is to be done with ’ them ? llow are the soldiers to be restrained in these efforts against the traitors ? -The Government itself, when attempting to sup press treasonable machinations, and all'; schemes to embarrassit in the prosecution of the war, is assailed as despotic, and has been more than once defied by irresponsible and reckless mobs. Infinite and incalculable is the mischief done by-;these . influences- Courts of law have been resorted, to when-. ever, sympathetic judges could be found to give strength and solemnity to the counter • acting efforts-of the sympathizers ; and dis-. organizing and disloyal newspapers have gathered-encouragement from their too fre quently successful combinations.

A discharged soldier, remembering his associates still in the army, is naturally indignant when he sees that certain political organizations are doing all ill their power to prevent the raising of reinforcements, to strengthen and support them. When the effort is made to expose and put down these organizations, we have the ;cry that there is no freedom of speech, and no freedom of the press, and on more than one recent oc casion popular tumults have resulted from the exercise of the necessary authority by military and legal officers. It is a humilia ting sight that citizens who have done noth ing to sustain the constituted authorities— who, like Yallandigham, refused to vote for military supplies in Congress—con tinue coldly and carefully, to with hold all aid from -the associations that have been raising money and men at the call of the President,, and refuse any commiseration for the brave men who have been-wounded and killed in battle, and lit tle or no gratitude to such as have faithfully served out their time. They reserve all their kindness and their consideration forthe’ leaders who are anxious to make themselves martyrs by constant tirades against the manner in which the war is prosecuted, and by incessant appeals in favor of peace on any terms.

I expressed the be lief a few days ago that the time was ra pidly coming when the Democratic .party would discoid these- false teachers, and would place itself upon the wide platform of unconditional loyalty, embracing .the great idea that the Union must and shall be pre served ; and I believe that one of the strong est inducements to this policy—apart from their own interests as Democrats and men— is the stern determination of those citizens who have earned their country’s gratitude by fighting for the flag on many a historic field, and who have come back once more to mingle with their families and friends. Special Despatches to “ The Press.” Brigadier General Crawford has been relieved* by order of the War Department, from the Military Commission, and assigned to duty under Major Gene ral Hkintzblman, for the command of the division known as the Pennsylvania Reserves. General Seymour takes the place of General Crawford on the Commission. The assignment was made at the request of the Governor of Pennsylvania, in con sideration of General Crawford’s former efficient services and fine soldierly qualities. He waß with General Anderson during the bombardment of Sumpter, with General Banks in the Shenandoah valley and Cedar Mountain, and while commanding the Firet Division, after General Mansfield fell, waß severely wounded at Antietam.’ Important Decisions. The following decisions have been made, by the; Secretary of the Treasury, of questions arising upon appeals by importers from the deci .ions of collectors relating to the proper classification under the tariff' of July, 1662:, v A duty of twenty per centum on bertain hatters’ furs was properly assessed as waste fur.

A letter from Nassau, dated May 2, states that since the Ist of March the following steamers have made, or attempted to make voyages to blockaded po'rts: The Ocean Queen, Granite-City, Stonewall Jackson, Victory, Flora, Havelock, Emma, Ruby, Hero, St. Johns, Margaret and Jessie, Eagle, Calypso, Duoro, Antonica, Giraffe, Thistle, Gertrude, G-eorgiana, Britannia, Pet, Ella and Anne, Charleston and Dolphin, twenty-six in all. Of these, the following have been captured : Gra nite City, St. Johns, Nicholas I, Gertrude, Thistle, Buoro, and Dolphin. The Ocean Queen, Stonewall Jackson, and Geor giana have been driven on shore, and the Mina has been long absent, and is supposed to have been lost at seA, thus disposing of eleven. The names of these .vessels, are often changed, which conveys the impression that the s number en gaged in the trade is larger than it really is. Thus, the Stonewall Jackson was the Leopard, the Vic tory was the : Wagner, and before that the Annie Childs; the Thistle .waß called the Cherokee, &c., while the Havelock iB now called the Beauregard. The same letter states that blockade*running is not so active as formerly, the price of freights having become greatly enhanced within the last two months. Second Comptroller of, the Treasury.

[Correspondence of The Press.] * New York, May 20,1863. ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT, between ruffians hailing from this city, took place yesterday invMiddlesex county, New Jersey, near Amboy. The pugilists were a man named Geoghan, of New York, and another named Orem, of Colo- The battle commenced shortly after sunrise,, and Geoghan, after nineteen rounds, was finally declared the winner, through the good offices of his attendant scoundrels, who presented their loaded. pistols at the head of the impartial referee, and amiably requested him to assign tbe wreath of victory to ihe athletic gentleman upon whom they had bet such sums as they had been able to amass by recent felonious proceedings. During the con— test there was more or lesß skirmishing amongst' the assembled leaders of fashion, who playful ly tickled each other with bowie-knives, and occasionally fired at each other with sportive revolvers. Upon the return of this pleasant party towards their peaceful and virtuous homes in this city, a goodly number were-arrested by the New - Jersey police. Others have been arrested at the fer ries to-day, and will probably; he embalmed in in- ; dignant eloquence at the next Democratic mass meeting convened to protest against Mr. Lincoln’s despotism and arbitrary arrests. I have also the honor to inform you that Mr. Joseph Coburn de sires to fight any man but a rebel for the sum of $2,000. Young men out of employment will -please : take notice. As prize-fighting seems to have the prominent place fc in the cultivated public mind of New York just now, I give it the leading place in this brief letter, presuming that it must possess a most absorbing interest for everybody, and a subtle fascination for the refined family circle!

We learn from a reliable source that the Union .League of this city appointed a committee on the Bth of April, to aid in procuring employment for disabled soldiers and sailors honorably discharged from the service of the United States. That com ' mittee. memorialized the President of the United States, and conferred with him personally on the importance of raising an invalid corps,’ and on the duty of the .Government to employ in the public service men’ who have been partially crippled in fighting for tbe Union. A letter ' from the Provost Marshal General to the com mittee advises that orders have been issued for ' the organization of an invalid corps,and that their 1 memorial will receive every consideration, and will be of much service in maturing the details for the •organization of the corps of invalids. The commit tee will also apply to the. State and city authorities, and to the various employers in this vicinity, to aid •in their patriotic and charitable work. His Honor Mayor Henry, Colonel Crosman, and many private citizens, have already exerted themselves to give em ployment to disabled soldiers, and it is . hoped that all employers will manifest an equally patriotic spirit. . Other Union Leagues throughout the coun try should also thuß evince their patriotism. By an advertisemeiifcin the adjoining columns it will be seen that the League has openedan office at. No. 1011. Chestnut street, Philadelphia, where Mr. .Abraham Martin, their experienced and benevolent superintendent, will register the names and cations of soldiers seeking employment, employers are uigehtly invited to call or apply by letter, as upon them must mainly depend the useful ness of this undertaking. - • Colonel 31.

Sir: As you do not designate the locality of the headquarters of the Confederate forces under your command, as honorable belligerents always do, I ■am compelled to ‘ adopt this method of communica tion with you, in reply to your long.tirade about constitutional liberty, &c., about which*you appear to have as correct an appreciation as a Hottentot or "a South Sea. Islander* I have the honor to say to you, after reading your long lecture, that you need not defer your proposed actshf retaliation until the 20th of May, It is of littleKconsequence to me to know what are the in- Btiuctions of the * 4 Government you represent.” It iB sufficient for me to know that you and your mot ley ci ew are insurgents and assassins ; that you are organizing within the military district of ■ the Union, foicesj'anu are engaged in muraering and plundering unarmed loyal citiaens, thereby barring yourselves of all .rights and considerations extended to prißO nerßof war. I have instructed officer? ;in command of troopß in the border counties of Missouri (and the same-rule shall extend to all territory under my command) that everv rebel orrebel sympathizer who gives aid, directly or indirectlv, shall be destroyed or expelled from the militaiy district. These instructions will ' not exempt'females from the rule. Experience has taught that the bite of a she adder is as poisonous and productive of mischief as the bite of any other Venemouß reptile. Therefore, all persons known to be in arms against the EederaL ■authorities of this district will be summarily put to death when captured. The only constitutional right that will be granted them will be the right to- make choice of the quality of rope with which they will be-hung. ■■■•'. All Ihoße who are in sympathy with your 'cause, and whom the military authorities may not feel jus tified inputting to death, will be sent south of the Arkansas river. They will do well .to avail* them selves of this my last friendly admonition. Trusting that you will fully appreciate the mo tives that have prompted me to adopt this humane policy toward your misguided friends, I have the honor to remain Your obedient servant, JAS.G.

J, Kromer lately exhibited ia his shop window, No. 403 Chestnut street, a clever cartoon entitled Copperhead among the Reeds,” and’ has had' a carte de. visile made of it. The countenance of the Copperhead, BurmountiDg a serpentine continua tion, happens to be very like Mr. W. B. Reed of this city,>x-minfeter to China. He, however, does not take this as a compliment, for it iB said that he visited Mr, Kromer’s store, on Monday, and threa tened to call next day and buy “a Copperhead” carle de visite . in company with a witness, so that he might be able to accuse Mr. Kromer of libel. This is the current on dit t which we give for what it is worth. As yet, the lawsuit has not been com menced. Some of Mr. Reed’s Copperhead sympa thizers are sending anonymous threats of personal violence to Mr. Kromer, and appear tremendously irritated. As the weather is getting hot, we recom mend them to keep cool. There are few game* that two cannot play at. Master WiiiMAN’s Concert. —This evening a vocal and instrumental concert of a peculiarcharacfcer will be given at Musical Fund Hall, for the benefit of James William a lad of about fourteen, who is already a pianist of remarkable aptitude, skill, and taste. He has been taught in this city—did we know his name we should gladly mention it. Hecanplay the most diffi cult compositions of Thalberg and Wallace, Liszt and Gottschalk, with a certainty, yet delicacy of. touch, which is at once pleasing and surprising. Thenetpro ccedsof this evening’s concert will be applied to-the purebafto of a suitable piano, in order that his great mn sical genius may be further and fairly developed. This wonderful boy will himself play four compositions by Thalberg, Mason, Gottschalk, and Liazt. The vocal performances will he given by Mrs. Henrietta Behrens, Mr. John J. Heister, Mr. John K. Macgowan, (pupil of JKr. J. J. Frazer, the well-known tenor,) and a young lady, who is a pupil of Mr. Alexander Baohmann, the conductor of the . concert. All the performers'kindly give their assistance gratuitously-rwliich is artist-like and generous. We assure our - readers that the musical precocity of Jfaster Willian is so remarkable, that if he lives and has a fair chance it is not at all unlikely that, in the fulness of time, he may attain the eminence of Gottschalk. His playing can be described in three words—it is wonderful.

Business on Third street was inactive, with but slight change in the figures for Gold, which, at one time, were as low as 14SK, closing at 149 The. outside interest- in Gold seems to have entirely subsided, and the influences which, ordinarily affect or afflict it, such as war matters, financial bills, sp< culaUon rumors of trouble with fo.-. reign Powers, and dissensions' in the Washington Cabi net, are nearly at rest,' Everythin g looks. favorable at Vicksburg, quiet on theßappahannock and at Charles ton, and?the\movemdnt: in.

Mntual supporters and protectors in time of ipeace; the Administration and the people should the more de cidedly move shoulder to shoulder daring the pressure of a terrible war. Whether a million, one and a half, or two millions is converted in a day, it makes but little difference when the footing up of the grand aggregate is considered. At four o’clock towiay, upwards of two mil lion dollars were turned into this popular loan. Prices at the Stock Exchange came to a halt, and, early in the day, tie pressure to sell was very, great. ■Whereto many have made profits, it is natural that a good many should desire to make sure of them.

Gbms of Art.— Throughout the long and honorable career of .Messrs. Broadbent £c r Co., the celebrated Photographers, Nos. 912, 914 j and 916. Chestnut Btrcet, it has apparently been their con stant aim to produce specimens of pictures in the various styles of the Photographic art unequalled by any other artists in Europe or America. ;In this they have* achieved a triumphant success.* In all their larger finished pictures, whether in oil, India ink, water colors, or those executed by their exclu sive Wenderotype and I vorytype; processes, there is nothing comparable to these rich and, life-like pic tures that has - ever been made bythe besfcPhoto graphic artists ol Paris or London. .19,460 05 \ —525.009 55 Canned Fruits.—The successor to the late C.

' Of Interest to Ladies.— Every one regards the SewiDg Machine as a blessing to women. It has been the saving of much toil, misery, and probably of life itself. The “ Song of the Shirt” is now obsolete ;• the more enlivening ballad, “The Song of the Sewing Machine,” has taken its place. We had heard, through our lady friends, of ma chines that would stitch, sew, and hem, and of that could make a perfect button-hole in a garment. We had supposed that perfection had almost been readied, knowing that these instruments performed all the necessities in sewing. But it seems they still had the “accomplishments” to learn. We are led to make these remarks, having recently seen £ome ladies’ cloaks elaborately embroidered with . this Sewing Machine. The work seemed to excel any thing executed by hand labor. Beside being more rapidly and cheaply executed, the work has a more regular, and consequently a much more beautiful, appearance. What is moat remarkable about the novelty is that the machine which executes this wonderful workmanship is the most perfect in all other respects—the embroidering quality being only an addition to its many other abilities of stitching, hemming, etc. Those of our lady readers who wish to view the instrument engaged in. its-charming ac complishment can do so by stepping into Messrs. Grover & . Baker’s establishment, No. 495 Broad •-way Journal. - Fat Men. —Cromwell was alusty fellow; General Putnam was, always in* fine flesh; Bona parte was.fat; one, of the most famous of the.liying generals in France is so stout that he on horseback ; our General Butler is by no means “ a lean and slippered pantaloons.” All men, both lean and fat, ; can be accommodated with neat and well-fitting garments at the One-price Fashionable Clothing Emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street.', ' ange Sales, May ao. ek, Philadelphia Exchange.!
