THE NEWS.
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.

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. Tlieir op
position to the enrolment bill, which is hut
■ the outcropping of secret societies; oath
: bound to resist the enforcement of laws
necessary to the well-being and the triumph
of our armies, lias occasioned deep solici
tude among, the constituted authorities.
■Now, if there is one thing that the brave
man feels most , intensely when he comes
. back to his kindred and his friends, it is that
his own services should not be insulted by
those who have remained', peacefully be
hind, as if only to bring the Govern
'■ment into contempt, and to depreciate all
who are offering their lives for its preserva
tion. 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. May wo not hope thatthe groat
body of the people, as they, sec the interest
with which tUe returned Boldiers watch the

movements of disloyal partisans, and
the indignation these movements excite
among them, will receive the lessons as
a wholesome and a new
reason for discountenancing reckless and
dangerous leaders. 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.

velopes for the transportation of linseed, and in
lhat seryiqp • became worn, torn, Stained- and ip,
many cases entirely useless, (excepting to be made'
into other bags.) it was decided .that the additional
duty of 10 per centum attaches in all cases where
goods, wares, and merchandise of growth and pro
duce, of countries beyond the Cape of Good Hope,
are imported from .places this side of'it, unless their
character, quality, and condition, be entirely
changed by . manufacture or otherwise, the former
distinctiveness of the article in question, namely,

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.

the field, and express gratification at the
cheering news from the Southwest.

liness to the rebel cause which is apparent in vari
ous sections of the country, and call upon all loyal
ists to unite in support of the Government, and re

occasionally fired at each other with sportive
revolvers. Upon the return of this pleasant party
towards their peaceful and virtuous homes in this

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

Fort Lxatkkw'outtt, May 13, 1863.
Col. B. F. Parker , Confederate States Army: .
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,

The “ Copperhead” .Carte de Visite.— Mr.
J. 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

Master WiiiMAN’s Concert. —This evening a vocal

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.

Yesterday afternoon our city was honored by
the arrival of a foreign man-of-war, the' only occur
rence of the kind that hasJaken place for two years,
with the exception of the Brazilian corvette Para
neee, which reached our port last summer. The ves
sel is the. Genoese steam frigate San Gioviannie.
She arrived at the navy yard at a quarter of four
o’clock P. M., and fired a salute, which was re
sponded to by.the receiving ship Princeton. The
San Gioviannie is commanded by Captain Bruri,
and she has a complement of four-hundred officers
and men all told. She is direct from Port Royal,
but had previously been on a cruise. Her object in

teen guns, as follows: eight thirty-two pouuders,
and four sixty-eight pounders. Besides her battery,

that she must have been surprised.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET;
Philapelphia, May 20, 1883.
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

downward.;‘.From pres ent appearances, the market will

the Administration and the people should the more de

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. There
• was, consequently, some’recession in prices, - and a ge

and heavy.. Governments are unchanged, Blank April

The Wavr-York Evening Post of to-day says:
The Stock market opened strong on Governments, and
weak on'Border State bonds. : *
Before the first session, we obser red considerable trans
actions in Erieat 100%, Erie preferred at 106, in Harlem

at 111, in Fort Wayne at 81, in Chicago and Northwest
ern at 17, in Sock Island at 105, and in Now York Cen
tral at 127.
Michigan Southern'Railroad.bonds are the strongest
on the list. This is attributed to the increased value of
the stock, the able management of the general business,
the increase of the t yaffle, and the belief that the earnings
of the current year will yield a certain dividend on the
common stock as.well as on the guarantied.

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.

Canned Fruits.—The successor to the
late C. H. Mattson, Arch and Tenth streets, dealers
in fine family groceries, has ho w in store a superior
line of canned Fruits and Vegetables, of all kinds,
in the best possible state of preservation, to which
we invite the attention of our readers. '
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

generals in France is so stout that he

“ a lean and slippered pantaloons.” All men, both
lean and fat, ; can be accommodated with neat and
