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.

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

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

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 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.

Civiliams with the: Army:.
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

remarks :
“The fate of Vicksburg is still suspended in the

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

Wharton are in our front. .
Gen. Payne writes to Gen. Rosecrins, from Gal

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,

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

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

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.

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. Ben.

Mr. J. Glancy Jona on the Reconstruc-
In a recent letter to the Natiopalinfe/ligencer, Mr.
J. Glancy Jones elaborates a , plan for the recon
struction of the Union, the iubstance of which is as
follows :
let. That the .Preaidential term be for six years,
the incumbent to. be ineligible to a second term.
2d. That all Territorial Governments be abolished,
and the power taken from Congress to create them,
and in lieu thereof provide that all Territories now
belonging to the United States, or which may here
after be acquired, shall be organized into a State or
States, or incorporated into other States.
ad. That hereafter when any bill, resolution or
()icier (which may require the signature of the
Executive to make it a law) shall be first proposed
in the Rome of Representatives, or come to it from
the Senate for their concurrence, it shall be in order
(taking precedence of all ether questions) for any
five adjoining States, bye, majority of each of said
States respectively, through their representatives in
Congress, to object to the passage of said bill, and
file their objections with the clerk, in which case
the said bill shall not become a law without two
thirds of the votes cast. If seven- adjoining States
than in like manner object, then three fourths of the
votes shall be required to pass said bill, and if the
representatives from nine adjoining States object
unanimously, said bill shall not pass except by a
Unanimous vote. •
The above restrictions are not to apply to appro
priation bills in accordance with the provisions of
existing laws, nor to the repealing power of any act
of Congress, nor to the power to declare war, or.
raise - and vote - money to carry it on when once -de
clared ; except that no_war shall be declared by a
number less than two-thirds of, those voting., and if
disapproved of by the 'Executive, three-fourths shall
be neceasaiy. Neither shall the restrictions apply
to bills to raise revenue to meet the ordinary expen
ditures provided for by law ; Provided that such bills
shall be solely for the purpose of raising revenue to
meet ,the expenditures of the Government as pre-
Sbribed by existing laws.

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.

large number of medals to be struck. The order was
given for the manufacture of the medals to Messrs.

assuming the expense. The work was being prose

the :object of the

AN INCRP.ASTNG SOITIICt OF REVENUE.—
The large arrivals' of immigrants at this port
weekly swell the receipts of the Almshouse quite
largely. During the past two weeks the sum of
$661 was received from this source alone. 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

be graded and macadamized is two and a' quarter
miles in length. It will be the only continuous line
of stone-road existing bet Ween the towns of Mena
yunkr, Germantown, and Frankford.

A barrel of Petrolonm,tby average, contain 's about 40
:pitons, and thus the estimate in gallons is easily ob-
. .
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. - - -

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? •

CITY ITEMS.
TEE LATEST NEEDLE NEWS.—Those of
our readers who have Wheeler Sr. Wilson machines
intheir families—and who has not?—will be pleased
to learn that still -a new improvement has-been
added to their invaluable home mionpanion, a - " trim
mer," so palled from its being designed to trim
ladies , dimes. This little attachment stitches
braids of any width, on one edge only; and really,
when one observes the hundreds of elegant robes
decorated round the 'skirt, with half a dozen rears
of braid, more or less, now worn, it is surprtfing
that this improvement was not sooner "thought
of." There is no computing the weary hours of
labor its steel and crystal circlet will economize.
We advise our readers to call at 704 Chestnut street,
the elegant brown-stone building. . •
STRAWBERRIES SMOTHERED IN ICE
CREAII.—A more sumptuous dessert than this the
most fastidious epicure could scarcely desire. For
some days past, Mr. r. W. Price, proprietor : ,.of the
popular Restaurant, Fourth and . Chestnut streets,
has been serving for his guests fine strawberries and
ice cream for dessert. Mr. Price's vigilance and
liberality in. securing for the enjoyment of hie pa
trons all the luxuries of the season, at the earliest
possible moment, Msecuring for his establishment a
reputation hitherto unattained by any other public
dining salOon in Philadelphia. His meats are the very
finest that the best market in the world affords; they
are cooked in the best manner to suit a cultivated
taste, and his vegetables, green peas, salads, aspara
gus, &c., are served in the finest style for health and
gustatory enjoyment. There is, moreover, an air of
neatness about Mr. Price's tables that renders his
meals doubly inviting. His bread and butter is A.
No. 1, his wines and other beverages of the choicest
brands, and his charges exceedingly moderate. No
wonder that his custom, from the very first gentle
men of our city, is so immense.
BEAUTIFUL EXHIBITION OF FRUIT.—It
will pay our readers handsomely to go a long dis
tance out of their way to see the tempting display
of grapes on the vine, made this morning, in Mr. EL
L. Vansant's windows, Ninth and Chestnut streets.

the finest•flavored fruit. grown. We need hardly

Vansant's reputation is unequalled by any other
Confectioner in AMerica.
