g4t ipttss. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1863 TILE NEWS. ifiv.rOnT,S from the Army of the Potomac are still *kill of suspicion of the movements and designs of 'General Lee. On the 29th the enemy reviewed , about, twenty-five I•egiments on their right wing, 'eight of our forces. This, it is conjectured, was intended to blind General Hooker, to the fact - that part of Lee's army had gone to reinforce .TOhn ,nton. ' A gathering - of the enemy s. troops about thirty miles up the Rappahannock, with the ostensi ble purpose of crossing, may be for the same decep "'tor. A. correspondent in the army 'states that all day during the 29th men were departing in cars from enear 'Frederickeburg, but it is impossible to tell whether for the South or for some point on the road where they might alight, and,-unknown, join- the -forces up the river. Their motives are difficult to - -penetrate. Another writer states on supposed rebel -authority that Lee has now on the line of 'the Rappahannock only 40,000 men ; at the time of the late battles he had in all 100,000, to gain which Ate left RichmOnd defenceless, and drew from North, Viarolina and Suffolk. Reckoning upon Hooker's losses, his defeat, and the discharge of a portion of' his troops, Lee does not fear attack, and can afford to reinforce critical points under cover of strategy. The present moment is regarded as General Hooker's best opportunity. An aggressive movement,-,ac cording to the same statement, is not now to be ap prehended, as the rebel energies will be concentrated upon the neighborhood of Vicksburg, in which ,Tohn stonsis reported to be gathering a force from various quarters Ito attack Grant in the rear. Lee's sup posed movement of offence upon General. Hooker, would, therefore; amount to, nothing more than a ruse for the rebel designs upon Vicksburg. The foregoing appehrs to comprehend the most noticeable speculations regarding the campaign. OUR news from the Departtnent of the Gulf gives us a report of a victory on the battle-field of Port Hudson Plains, by .a portion of General Banks' forces. On the 21st, General Augur was engaged in a nine hours' fight in the rear of Port Hudson. The rebels were thoroughly whipped : a large number were killed and wounded, and one hundred were taken prisoners. General Augur's losses were twelve - killed, and fifty-six wounded. The enemy was;driventhrse miles, and General Augur bivouack ed on the field of battle. On the 14th, Col. Grierson and his cavalry tore up the railroad between Clin ton, cut the telegraph, burned a rebel camp, and captured one hundred cattle. Subsequently.he en countered a rebel force in the rear of . Port Hudson, attacked and routed them, taking twenty-five prisoners, with horses and muskets. Another raid was made by Colonel Davis on the.lackson railroad, and from Tiokfaw Station to Camp Moore destroy ing every bridge, all the stations, and a number of valuable factories and mills. The damage done to the rebels in these new raids is very great. ON the 12th ultimo, General Shepley, Military Governor of Louisiana, issued an order declaring inoperative the State law prohibiting the emancipa tion of slaves, on the ground that such law has never been sanctioned by the military authorities, and is inconsistent with the principles which con trop the' policy of the Government. All persons hereafter shall have the right to emancipate their slaves, on 'petition to any court of record, and any person held as a slave, and being legally entitled to freedom, may bring a suit for his or her freedom, in any court of record, against the person claiming or holding him or her as a @lave. GEN. BUNTEN, it is said, has been relieved of command in the Department of the South, and superseded by Gen. Quincy A. Gilmore. The cause of this change in suggested in the reported refusal of Gen. Hunter to return Gen. Foster's troops to their old commander, contrary to orders from the War Office. Gen. Foster, on -the other hand, will not send back to Port Royal the brigade of Gen. Heckman, which was voluntarily sent to his relief by Gen. Hunter, during the siege of Wash ington. THE Canal Convention assembled yesterday in Chicago, and elected the Vice President of the United States as permanent and presiding officer. Gen. Walbridge, of New York, was chosen vice pre sident of the Convention. The gathering is the largest and most important since the great Wigwam Convention of 1860. IT-Is stated, though not generally credited, that Admiral Dupont has been relieved from command, and that Admiral Foote will take charge of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron., 4. Glancy Jones on the Reconstruction of the Union. We hope our readers have not forgotten Mr. JErr.o GLANCY -Jorms. We heard of him before the Democratic Legislative caucus, asking to be elected Senator. The Democracy, however, for reasons of their own, returned him to Berks. He next ap peared in Philadelphia, as the counsel of .men - who had been arrested for treason; now he 'is introduced into the columns of the National Intelligencer, among the quack • doctorS,.the vendors of patent medicines, and professors of the art of universal curing. Perhaps Mr. JONES never found himself in more congenial company, and we fancy that our generally dismal, but occasionally vivacious coteinporary intended the publi cation as a piece of grim irony, knowing, as well as we do in Pennsylvania, that Mr. ---- .Torim.s_i_q„pe.rhaps,, the-most thorough politi ---carquutx.. life as •an advehturer, and lie has been eon sistent_hl too. -ausc - ifute devotion to self. Ponderous, shin.- _ gish, dull, a failure hi the ministry, almost a failure in the law, he went into the Demo cratic party very much as Mr. Turveydrpp went into society, as a mere model of deport ment. How such a weary, feeble mediocre ever succeeded in this State is a wonder,. unless. when we remember that the only party by which he has ever been appreciated is the Democratic party of Berks, and that the, only statesman who ever obtained his affections was JAMES BUCHANAN. Even in Derks, he has the' reputation of being the only Democrat that was ever beaten on the Democratic ticket. The rebellion has been an annoyance to him ; as, indeed, it has been to all of his class. - It demands positive men—men who can say yes or no. The mere effort to do this asks more courage than is usually given . to politicians, and accordingly Mr. JONES, by the very necessity of his own capacities—the fear of the future that never leaves small minds—the dread of a caucus or a canvass—has been a bewildered, gaping spectator, when the name that for tune has given him and the position he has heretofore held should •-• have made him a leading. actor. But when God does not bless men with-positive pOWers it is profane to expect their exhibition ; and so Mr. JEIPU GLANCY Joicas— ex-member of Congress, ex-leader of the House of Representatives ex•ministetto Austria-in the prime of life, and full Of political hope, has peripitted years of immortal history to be written with out making a sign; until now, when our arms seem to be encompassing victory, he stum bles before the public with his patent medi cine to cure the national troubles. We give the substance of his scheme else -where. It is worthy of the dreary leader of the Berks Connty Democraby. We have the rebel . plan of electing a President for six years with subsequent ineligibility. Then there is' a proposition to organize all the Territories into States and take from Con gress the power of creating them. These two propositions mean a great deal, or mean - nothing at all; trndkwill - have obblitas - mu . • upramexternstitarilrtllrfranking privi lege. The third proposition provides that the legislative power shall be controlled-by the action of joint State minorities—nine adjoining States having the power to:Pre vent- any bill at all from passing. With that scheme in•operation,--the Cotton States would be masters of this Republic, and , in-' stead of a rebellion , against freedom, free dom would be rebelling against slavery. We see no reason; no precedent; no law that can prompt such a-plin or lead us to hive for its successful operation. Mr. JONES bases it npon the theory of the rights of mi norities, which is only a pleasant definition of Secesion, treason, and sympathy with treason. General, LEE, of the rebel army, is now, perhaps, the most, notorious cham pion of the rights , of minorities in the coun try, and we complinient .Mr. JONES . upon being a faithful, if not' a valiant disciple: - Ile says that '4 Berks adopts - and recom =ends these sentimentsbecause she believes fin their virtue, and the crisis ih her own bor ders requires her to speak out." What Mr. .JOICES means by " the crisis in her own bor .ders " we do not know, although we sup pose that Mr. HUME and his companions • of the barn are fully organized, and that con sscription shall not be permitted. The course -of the men who propose to defy the conscrip • tion needs' no other argument than "the ::rights of minorities," and Mr. JONES is, per haps, merely anticipating his *defence'in the :approaching trial Of his clients of the barn :and the Secret society.. For ourselves, we only see in such phrases:asthese a mere re petition of the argnments that wereAsed • to Stlmultife rebellion. lie is no friend of the cause who pauses now to diseusS silly schemes of compromise ; he is no statesman who fancies that the magnificent i'events' 'through whibli we are now passing'can be controlled -or avoided by the gunning schemes of a country lawyer.. We must look higher, and be 1 prePared'to meet this sublime.destiny as freemen alone can meet it—not looking back nor recriminating, nor vainly wringing our hands. We must throw everything int 6 the : lssue, feeling '.that our richest saerifiee' - will be poor compare& with the precious gain we strive to reach. We implore the people to be true, and to visit with their scorn such men as Mr. JONES, who would defile this sacred cause by char latanism and hypocrisy. The altar of God cannot be-sbaken with impunity.! Spirit of NOrthern Women. -Itis a great country, this orours. Great events occur in it. Great things nre to be found in it. Where shall we find another Niagara? 'where a cave of dimensions equali to those' of the Mammoth Cave of Ken tucky ? Since California has been added, we have her gigantic pines, towering above all other trees in.the world. We cannot make way, but we must carry it on. upon a scale unknown since the days of ' XERXES. Our women, too, it would seem, catch the spirit of the country. Until now, they have chiefly been known, throughout the great national struggle, in the napacity of Sisters of Mercy, tenders in hospitals, ~collectors of comforts and of little luxuries for our sick and wounded. We find them laboring now in a new field. They, called the weaker sex, and properly so called, if thews and sinews constitute strength, have undertaken to do more than to, care for the sick and . wounded. They seek to aid in striking at. the root of the evil whonce has arisen the strife which causes the sickness of the hos pital and the wounds of the battle-field. They have undertaken a task beyond that which the sturdy Chartists of England per 'fbrmed. The Chartist Petition, if we . re member aright, had seven or eight hundred thousand names—the largest number ever obtained to a petition. But our Northern wo men have undertaken - to procure one million of names to a Petition for Emancipation, and to complete their task in the next six months. The article from the , Tribune elsewhere will be read with interest. The Source of the Nile. We published yesterday some details re specting the disco'vely of the source of the White Nile by Captains SPEJE and GRANT, the British explorers, who in this success have solved a question which has perplexed the . world for thousands of years, and ren dered an incalculable- service to the cause of geographical science. The mystery which invested the origin of the Nile was a reproach to the self-sufficiency of human knowledge, and a striking proof that our acquaintance with the secrets of science is at best but superficial, as AGASSIZ re cently confessed. Captains GRANT and SPERR by their indomitable energy and rare good fortune have won for themselves a proud fame, and their names will ever be linked together in the category of Man kind's greatest benefactors. They have succeeded where hundreds of investigators have failed,- and they deserve the good for tune' that must attend them. It is to be hoped that an account of their explorations may soon be published in book form. The International Postal Convention. A Convention of postal delegates from the several Governments of Europe and America commenced its sessions in Paris on the ele venth of last month. It was called at the instance of Postmaster-General 131,Ain, and its object is 'to secure the revision and sim plification of international 'postal, arrange ments. The topics proposed for discussion were thirty-six in number, and a unanimous decision respecting the majority of them would be of value. Until an international postal code can be established misunder standings are constantly liable to ' occur, leading to unpleasant discussions and volu- . nainous official correspondence. It is much better that upon any question, concerning which differences of opinion may arise, there should bes.temperate discussion and mature deliberation. Aside from any adVantages of a purely postal nature, we anticipate many good results:from a Convention of this kind. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." W4SHINGTOIT, June 2, 1863 The kindness of Lorcl , 32.lpadUS.,s2,togrdi m 1 casioned some comnient._The_Efonse of -- - -micruxe - rs - tue - Ta - St7Place to which an Ameri can can look for sympathy.' • Although it is not strange that words of justiee should come from an English minister, Lord Rus sell may well - fecl,some regret at the course he has taken in regard to America. He in jured our cause by rudely and hastily recog nizing the Southern rebellion as a war power under the name of a belligerent ; while he cruelly misrepresented us in speaking of the war for the Union as " a war tor empire." I attribute to:the course of Lord Russell all the troubles .that have arisen from the rebel privateers ; the construction placed upon the treaty of Paris ; the violations of the block ade ; and the strength given to the South-, cm' army by English, money and English arms.. It is, therefore, proper that at - this time ho should manifest a better feel ings- towardi us, and I fancy that it can. be traced to the growing sentiment of re gard for Ameriea now being manifested by the yeomanry of England, and *e calm and temperate statemanship of our Se,cre tary, of State. Indeed, - the burden of Lord Russell's friendly speech is little more than a declaration that Mr. Seward, in all his dealings with England, has been courteous, Conciliatory, and forbearing ; that -AmeriCa has been slow to anger, and- desirous of.' turning away wrath ; and that as our war had naturally occasioned suffering to the English people, attributed much of the harshness and ' njustice we had re ceived to the embarrassments of Lan caslure. This address is alsc an an swer to the -Administration --for its magnanimous policy in reference to letters of marque and reprisal. There were angry and unthinking men who sought a feW months since to insist upon the issue of let ters of marque. This would have been a confession of our own weakness, and a me nace to England—in other words, arinyita tion to war—and at the same.time a decla ration that war would probably be to our own injUry; as our navy was not competent to defend the country. This is too danger ous and powerful a Weapon to be tossed and parried,as aholidz , ranier—it must be re rrett au, auu iervrrea Art grievances to the honor of England. The just sentiment of the English people is. making the true responite, and Lord Russell is the mere echo. As an opponent of any policy that would provol e a war with a Eu ropean Power until this rebellion is crushed, I greet these. ,inclications Of candor on. the part of one of the most eminent statesinen in'England.as happy omen's ,for the country. Ohr true course towards England is that which we haye thus far pursued. Having compelled rord Russell to champion our cause, we have secured a great success. -we show to the world that notwithstanding we are - aillictdd with a most harassing and urt- I natural war, we still pay a strict deference' to the laws of nations. 'Lord Russell told the English Parliament that " he had referred to the Law Officers of the Crown almost every case in which there had been a complaint, and they reported there was no rational .ground of objection." I place this state ment beside the wild 'denunciations of Jef ferson Davis and those Who agree with him, in , charging our rulers with perfidy and wrong. Just to our - fellow-nations just even to captious England ; just to those who are our enemies in arms 'j we wield the sword, not 'as the adventurers of war, or as slayers of men; for mere blood and glory, 1 but as the defenders of a holy came, A ,Meteor. To the Editor of The Press Sine Last evening, some of the Inhabitants of ;ibis village saw what seemed to be a Very, brilliant Meteor. I was upon the porch of the seminary, conversing with Mr. Grier, the principal, wheriq saw it pass in a northwestwardly direction, present ing a brilliant light, and continuing in the heavens for the space of arminute, slowly disappearing, as if in flakes. This occurred at precisely eight minutes to nine. The night was clear, the moon was shining,' and few clouds only overhung the northern skies. I am, sir, yours truly, - R.

The nunilierof civilians within the line of the Army of the Potomac is almost incredible, including those registered as following civil _pursuits, such as newsmen, sutlers, ragmen, & c,, having permits to follow their respbctive callings. The total will probably reach 9,000. This number will, however, be reduced to 7,000 by the operation of the - recent General Order, which is daily being carried out by the indefatigable Provost Marshal General. Desertions from the Rebels. It is ascertained that the average' number of de sertions from the enemy on the Rappahannocli is about fifteen per day. Those disgusted with rebel associations arrive by different routes, but principal ly by swimming the river. An accident occurred yesterday morning to one of the army balloons. It had ascended about 400 feet, when it Wall struck by a flaw of wind causing an immense' rent. The ieronaut fell to the ground, but sustained no serious injury. It is known in this city that no leaves of absence are now granted to officers - of a longer term than tire daps. A gentleman from the 'vicinity of Culpeper says That a large body of rebels, supposed to be from LEE'S army, Inland there yesterday, and proceeded in the direction of Gordonsville. No alarm exists in the Army of the Potomac concerning the reported rebel' movements. The Richmond Whig, of Saturday, contains no thing whatever from Vicksburg. That paper, edi torially, complains of a want of efficiency , of the rebel Elovernment, arguing that the first great error in the conduct of the war was making it strictly. defensive, and suggesting that a dose of the enemy's own medicine would cause him to desist from fuither invasion: Commander SOTIRRVILLM NICHOLSON has been ordered to the command of the iron-slad steamer Sangamon. -Paymaster RICHARDSON is ordered to the steam-frigate Wabash. - ... Internal Revenue. The Commissioner of Internal'Revenue has de cided that it is the duty of the justice of the peace or notary public, before whom an affidavit is made, to affix and cancel the 6.cent stamp to be placed thereon. The Siege Progressing—The Rebels autl. elpate its poll. WASHINGTON, June 2-31idnight.—The Government has received nothing later from Vicksburg up to this hour. The Dispatch, in reference to Vicksburg editorially remarks : “The fate of Vicksburg is still suspended in the balance. Our own despatches have been encoura ging, but they lick the definiteness essential in such cams to bring entire relief to the public mind. The Yankee building in the inhering are unpleasantly detailed and spe co7c. The suspense cannot long continue. The re sistance has been from all accounts determined, and let us continue to hope and believe that it Will be successful.” • • ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND. The Reinforcements to Johnston—Slave DILFRPREIESBORO, June 2.--There is no conclusive evidence that Claiborne's division of Bragg's rebel army had been sent to Vicksburg. Only the two infantry divisions of Breckinridge, IVlcCowan, and the cavalry corps of Forrest's (formerly Van Dorn's) are known to have gone as has been stated. Doubt less the entire divisions of Withers, Claiborne, and Cheatham, the infantry brigades of Anderson and Jackson, and the cavalry divisions of Wheeler and Wharton are in our front. . Gen. Payne writes to Gen. Rosecrins, from Gal latin, that he has devised and put in effect a plan of changing the . slave labor in his sub•department to compensated labor. The male negroes are hired at eight dollars, and the females at five dollars per month, to their former masters, and written con tracts to this effect are entered into. The plan:is admirably working, and Gen. Payne says that the owners declare that they never had so much done, nor half so well, before.. - Confirmation of the !Capture of Puebla. NEW Yonx, June. 2.—The Havana Diafio of the 27th ultimo, received by the steamer Creole, states that it is in possession of information, through an authorized source, confirming the accounts of the occupation of. Puebla by the French•troops, and gives the following details, which it calls official : On the 16th, the French troops;who had opened a parallel 180 metres from the fort of Tolimehuacan, opened an artillery fire, which dismounted all the Wine ctf the fort. The besieged defended themselves with valor.' The next day the parallels were ad vanced to a short distance from the works. The li , lexican General Mendoza appeared in General Forey's camp, and asked him to permit the Mexican troops to retire from Puebla with their arms and a part of their artillery, and on this condition the place would surrender:.. Gen. Forey promptly refused to acceptthia-offer: render unconditionally, with all his troops: There upon the place was occupied by a portion of the French forces, and on the 19th Gen. Forey himeelf entered Puebla. On the 20th, Gen. Bazaine, at the head of - a corps consisting of two divisions, com menced the march upon the City of Mexico. • A Gutiboat Sauk hythe flatteries. CHICAGO, June 2.—A special from 'Memphis, dated the Ist inst , says : The steamer Luminary ar rived on Saturday night with news from Vicksburg to the 213th. " The gunboat Cincinnati was sunk by , the rebel battefiee on the 26th, with a reported loss of twenty kille'd and wounded. "Several of our men captured by the rebels have been paroled on account of the scarcity of food." The Sinking of the Gunboat Cincinnati. CAIRO, June 2.—The despatch boat from Vicks burg, with datesZo the 26th ult.; confirms the sink ing of the gunboat Cincirmatiby shots from the rebel batteries. She was ordered to move down the river, and when turning the point was opened on by seve ral batteries from above which it wassupposed had been silenced. She managed to return to the point just above the batteries, where she sunk in 15 feet of water. From 15 to 40 persons are reported to liavebeen killed, drowned, and wounded. ' FORTRESS Molinos', June I.—The gunboat Alert, while lying, at the Norfolk navy yard, caught tire about seven o'clock last evening. The flames soon reached the magizine and exploded a shell, which went through her bottom, and she sunk almost im mediately. The flag-of-truce steamer arrived this morning, bringing the Richmond papers of Saturday. NASHVILLE, June 2.—Brigadier Gen. R. S. Gram ger takes command of Nashville to-morrow. Gene rals B. B.

NatioD4 Ship Canal Convention. [Special Despat9ll to The Press. ] CHICACI 0, June 2.—The National Ship Canal Con vention assembled this afternoon at one o'clock. Delegates from all parts of the country are in at tendance, and the whole is a remarkable assemblage of representatives from the great commercial inte rests of the nation. The delegates were ably addressed' by Dr. Brai . nerd,'of this city, in a speech of welcome. 'Hon. Chauncey Filley, Mayor of St. Louis, Was elected temporary chairman, and A. H. Clapp, of. the Buffalo Express, temporary. secretary. — An irePres sive prayer was offered, by Bishop Sinapson, and the Convention proceeded to effect a permanent organi zation: - • - The following well-known- gentlemen were eleet• ed: President,' Hannibal."Harplin, of Maine ;'vice president, GeneralHiiam Walbridge, of New - York; Colonel Foster was elected-secretary at large, with a number of others. On tithing the chair, the Vice President of the United States made an address of great patriotism, in which lies• contrasted with the'extent of the war and the grandeur of its purpose, the vast enter 'prises of peace that were steadily pursuing their beneficent and liberal objects in the tnidst Of revolu . tion. Excellent addresses were also made by Gen. Wallridge. and Win. D. D. Drake, of St. Louis. The Convention is by far the largest, moat im portant, and moat enthusiastic since the great Wig= warn Presidential Convention of 1860. It is a con gregation of high character, and entire harmony and cordiality so far prevails in its deliberations. There seems no doubt that the objects of the Con vention will be fully accomplished. The American Medical Association assembled here this morning at eleven o'clock. Dr. Wilson Jewell, of your city,.has been elected president. Dr. A. D. - Palmer, of Michigarhis vice president. NEW YORK CITY. CEpecial Correspondence - of The Press.-] Nzw Yaws - , Jane 2, 1663 THE "PEACE CONVENTION," to be held at Cooper Institute, in this city, to-mar row, causes considerable exciting talk today, and is anticipated with some fears of a popular tumult by many. In a recent letter I gave you the particu lars of the call for this Convention, and noted its endorsement by Fernando Wood and. Mozart Hall. There can be no doubt that the whole movement is a most audacious insult to the assumed loyal senti ment of the State, and hazarded by a band of revo lutionary desperadoes with a view to provoking a breach of the peace. Public meetings . to expresi sympathy with " tried and convicted traitors . " are bad enough ; but an actual " Peace -":Convention, formally called in the very midst of a critical war, and under the very nose of a Government fighting for its life, is something more audacious thamtrea , son itself ! Whether the Government ishoUld summarily prevent the assembling of such a seditious meeting, or disappoint its sinister originatora by paying no regard to it .at all, is a very nice point to decide. Two equally wise and equally loyal men might hold diametrically opposite opinions of it. The convocation of such a convent tion is certainly calculated to, occasion a formidable breech of the peace, and upon that ground the Go-, vernment certainly has an established legal right to . prevent its sitting. But, on the other hand, such prevention might tend to make "martyrs" of a mob of worthless, petty intriguers, and bring about an embarrassing collision bet Ween the State and the 'United States. The Government probably under stands itself, and will pursue whichever is the wiser course. It appears to be a general, though vague impression about town this afternoon, that our then sands of returned soldiers are inclined to take the law. into their own hands, and break up the Convention. . There are also anticipations of a grand row in the' Convention itself, which may expand by degrees into a riot. The various "militia regiments are to hold tiemeelves in readiness for an outbreak, and the police will be on the alert ; but, after all, there may be no trouble - at all. Tice .demonstration by the Vallandigham mobocrats in your city last night is glorified by the copperhead press here.to-day as an inspiration for high-handed doings to-morrow.

COLLISION ON THE CAMDEN AND ALMBOY RAILROAD—NARROW ESCAPE.—About 9 o'clock last evening a frightful collision occurred on the Camden and Amboy Railroad, which resulted in the sma-hing of a number of cars, but, strange to relate, all Onboard etc sped with their lives. It seems that the 2 o'clock train from New York, and the 6 o'clock freight ` and emigrant train, hence, for New York, came in collision near the Fish House, about three miles above Camden. The former train was 13 - minutes behind time, and it is said that the up train, instead of stopping on the siding, endeavored to make the next station before the other could ar rive. The train from New York, although behind time, had the right of the track, and the collision is attributed to an accident, by which the engineer of the emigrant train was unable to reverse his engine en lifgailittflotrifte th'ilFealW6ffetfe passengers. Both locomotives, and three freight cars were swished, but, providentially, there was not a single life lost, Mr. Thomas Hartman, of No. 121 Pine street, was seriously injured about the shoulder and body. Two newsboys were also hurt, but not seriously, one of them having his foot bruised. With these exceptions the - occupants of the train escaped. The report of the accident reached the city shortly after it occurred, and great anxiety was manifested to learn the. extent of the damage. A report Rrevailed th r attliirty lives had been lost, and'that the entire trains were demolished. This accident will:not interrupt the travel on the road. „The-cause of the, affair should be fully investigated, and the blame be made to fall where it properly be- HE " KEARNY CEoss."—lt will be re membered that immediately after the battle of 4 0hancellorville, „General Banes , ordered returns made of all nee -commissioned officers and privates Who had been conspicuous for their gallantry, bra very, and meritorious services, and also ordered a large number of medals to be struck. The order was given for the manufacture of the medals to Messrs. W. Wilson & Sons, :silverware manufacturers, at Fifth and. Cherry streets, G-eneral Birney personally assuming the expense. The work was being prose cuted, when one day Mr. George Bullock, a wealthy and prominent'citizen, happened in at the place of their manufacture. Discovering the :object of the medal, he very quietly gave directions that twice the original number ordered be struck, and the dif ference in cost be charged to his account: The me dal thus ordered is bronze. _On the ribbon is the. word " Chane.ellorville," the medal itself bearing the words, " Kearny Cross:" On' the reverse are the words, "'limey's Division." The medals were awarded by the 'divisiOn com mander,-in a general order No. 48, issued from head quarters, let division, ad army corps, May 16th. The order, among other matters, says: "The brigadier general commanding division an nounces the following names of meritorious and dis tinguished non-commissioned officers and privates, eelected for their gallantry as recipients of the "Kearny Cross," the division decoration. "Many deserving soldiers may have escaped the notice of .their commanding- officers, but, in the se lection after the n'ext battle, they will doubtless re ceive this honorable distinction. .

By an act of Assembly the captain of every packet ship is obliged to pay $1 to the Guardians of , the Poor for each immigrant he has brought into port. This law is one of long standing. The object of it is to provide .a recompense for that proportion . of immi grants whom it was supposed, would ultimately be residents of our Almshouse. IHPItOVEMENT —The macadamizing of Green lane, Germantown, will, it is estimated, cost about $5,000, one-third of which is to be paid by the property owners along the line of the road, and the balance by the Highway .

The total exports from Philadelphia since January 1, 3863, amount to 3,2b9,slfirgallons. The chief obstacle to the more rapid growth of this trade here has been the want of sufficient storage, ca pacity and stocks on hand to make up cargoespromptly. 1 know. of orders in a single week of this year, at full market prices, for ten thousand barrels, which would hat e been exported from Philadelphia, but for the diffi culty named. New York bad the stocks on hatyl. and. took the orders. even at higher prices. This difficulty is in part overcome, and soon will be - entirely. Any moevate-.sized cargoes can now be found moor yards, and I trust it will not be long before the facilities of storage and ready stock Will be adequate to any probable immediate demand. - - - 5251.995114 • 16784 W Heretofore the want of such stocks, or abittty to make ,pp (smiles piointly, has induced many parties, in order de § pAteh, to buy at higher prices in other cities: Th — e growth of the has been unprece dented in its rapidity. The export trade in Petroleum, as. one of. importance, is hardly three years old. But failly.begtin in IE6I. over five million • gallons were ex. Potted from the United States. In 1833 over ten million gallons Were exported from - the-United States. First five months of 18M over: fifteen g,allons have been exported from the United States. The very losses which some parties have incurred by excessive shipment, inducing low prices abroad, have ' tended to recent appreciated:prices and higher intrinsic), market valno. Its cheapness forced attention and ex periments in countries which otherwise would have been leached very slowly—thus new markets have been opened ft supply an immense population. • Once opened, they will Lever .be closed while the supply lasts; but continue to increase so long as Petroleum continues to be as it now certainly is, the best-and cheapest light in the civilized world—and would be at a liberal advance' above present prices. • - Tbeee coneiderations thus briefly stated. induce me to believe that while the freaks of supply and demand..and the waves of speculation may toss it up and down. it is unlikely ever to reach as low a point as formerly, libt that the average of each series of declining prices will be higher an& higher, till the price of Petroleum, with the wholeau rld for a market, approachea nearer and nearer its relative Talue, as compared with. the various other means of enlightening mankind. Philadelphia ought to be the chief exporting market for Petroleum_ She can and will become such if the trade is properly fostered and encouraged. Shall this be done? or shall it be en]barraesed by unreasonable re s•rictions, 'whether knowingly or otherwise. - urged really for the benefit of rival cities, to which this • vaq, and growing trade may be driven, oat of its legitimate and most natural channel? • d 2.700 00 Louisville Tobaccp Market, May 3D.
