On the night of the 24th, Farragut's mortar fleet silenced several of the enemy's guns: Port Hudson is now being closely: besieged by the forces of Banks, Augur, and Porter, and no doubt aeems entertained of a capitulation before very long. The army before Port Hudson is in excellent •condition. The garrison besieged does not number more than ten thousand men. THE Supreme Court, of the New York city dis trict, decided yesterday in the case of Meyer against Roosevelt, :that treasury notes are not a legal tender for the payment of bonds and mortgages eon traded prior to the act of Congress making these notes a legal tender. This judgment is directly op posed to the deoision f in the general term of the Su preme Court for the seventh district, New York, and the question must now go before the Court of Appeals, where, only if it is sustained, the present decision can be of any practical importance.

The enrolment preparatory to the enforce ment of the conscription act has been com menced in this .city, and will probably be completed in less than a month. Among loyal citizens there has never been any dif ference of opinion as to the propriety of .a conscription. The only question has been whether it might not have advantageously been carried into effect at a much earlier day. Whether the bill, in all its details; is as perfect as could be desired, is considered by sonic to be rather questionable ; but it is plain that the objectionable features, if such there be, are not to be removed by news .paper discussion, or.. they would have been: *nmended long ago. We - do not think that any loyal man—any man anxious to see the war brought to an honorable close ; any `man desirous of seeing the authority of the nation everywhere recognized within .the limits of the • nation—will cavil at a measure which proposes to accomplish these desirable ends, and no others. Whoever speaks of it as an unnecessary evil ; whoever denounces its enforcement ss a piece of tyranny ; whoever refers to its passage as an act of usurpation in conflict with the spirit of our free institutions, not only betrays his ignorance of the first prin ciples of free government, but subjects his patriotism to scrutiny and question. Likei. the proof-reader, he can pick out the errors,' but is blind to the merits of the work before him. He .woula praise the brilliancy of the sun; but that he has been told there are spots upon its surface, and he considers theth vital objection. We. concede to this fasti dious person that in a certain limited sense conscription is an evil—one of the necessary evils incident to the fearful strife in which we have been plunged—but in its nature it . is not so much an evil as a remedy for worse evils. We cannot expect a - remedy to be pleasant; we = must be satisfied if it is effee tive. Sugar-Pills ,are, excellent:when ".per .sons.simply imagine themselves sick; but when the life of an individual is in danger, the genuine physic must be taken. What if the physician insists, . upon:administering.= unpalatable dose, would that be a case of tyranny or Usurpation ? Such precisely is the.eituation of the nation. Its existence is - threatened, but by proper measures it may be preserved. Does any one doubt that in such an emergency it is right and proper to administer the strong draught: whose saving efficacy is unquestioned ? We do not be lieve it possible. . • If there can be no material objection urged against the propriety of the conscrip tion act, certainly' there can be none what ever urged against its necessity. True, the military situation was never more promising; the prosperity of the country never so marked _ and so stable.; the financial and political affairs of the Government neverir,a more satisfactory condition. These are 'hopeful, and truthful indications of the progress of , our arms and of our cause. . But those,who imagined that the successes in the South west may render the enforcement of the conscription law unnecessary are in error. The purposes of the Administration are not to be lightly shaken by, successes or misfortunes. If ever we needed laiger armies, we need them now—now, when the rebellion seems, indeed, • drawing to ft, close, , and when the fighting that is to come must necessarily be more desperate than it has ever been before. Rebellions, born of trea son, die very hard ; and in their death-strug gles frequently exhibit a strength and tena city of purpose of which the world had suP posed therdincapable. It would be a fearful thing, after having progressed, so far to the completion of our holy task—after having mounted so near to the hill-top with 4 the block of marble to find it rolling down to the. bottom. It would bp a terrible thing for us, morally, politically, and financially, to find our victories"turned to ashes on our lips, vhen we came to taste their fruits. Self confidence is almost always purblind, and rtothing - is easier for the man who fancies himself on the high road to success than;' to stumble into• the pit We have made many errors .in the conduct' of this war—more than the Congressional com mittees can account for or rectify: We have planned wrongly We have attempted • to miry on a great war vath the parapher nalia of peace, and wheit r owe:would have beaten our pruning hooks into swords, there were men whecould, i find no warrant for it in the Constitution, of in past comPrd rnises, and they were allowed t ) object ; but our granest error—the error to which the prolongation of -the war to the.present day was' almost wholly due—was our over weening confidence In our resburces, and our under-estimation of the enemy's strength. "Is not the South but eight millions, and is not the North twenty ?" was the comfort able question we loved to asked ourselves whenever a new danger sprang up to me nace us. It is this fallacious notion, that we are " twenty millions," that has well nigh proved our ruin. We are not twenty millions save in theory, and, theory will not fight our battles, nor pay our armies, nor save our country. The conscription bill.proposes to do this thing, or rather to assist in the work. Its mission:is a,high and holy one, therefore, and no nobler legislation than that which framed it could have engaged the attention of the last Congress. We do not appre hend that its enforcement will be attended with any serious difficulty, notwithstanding, the threats that have been printed in many of the disloyal papers. If the men who meet in barns and caves, to organize hostile opposition to the Government • and laws for the sake of peace—who hope to secure peace by the novertnethod of inciting to law lessness and anarchy—are sincere in their pacific purpose, a chance is now pre of effecting it without the necessity of reser nods, and winks, and—passwords. All — me= pleasing little adjuncts, however roman tic,— not indispensahle, and are apt to excite suspicion, in inquiring minds. The conscription law proposes simply to ae coMplish peace, a certain peace, a speedy peace; an honorable peace, a permanent peace. Therefore, let these factious peace men come out of their caves and hiding places, and array themselves: in favor of a measure which coincides so perfectly with their wishes and desigio. It is unnecessary that the invitation should be extended to any other class of our citizens. For financial, military, political, and humanitarian reasons it is necessary that the conscription law should be carried into operatioh as speedily as possible, and loyal men everywhere not only recognize the fact, but are prepared to accept its responsibilities without argument or complaint. „ A Plea for the Worms. Upon the grounds, of magnanimity and superior wisdom, we desire to enter our so- lens protest against the senseless clamor in which our press and public have for several weeks indulged, concerning the tender lit tle worms. The whole power of the press —that lever of civilization to which VICTOR lIITGO SO recent , paid a beautiful tribute, and whose praises have been sung by every poet since the days of FAUST and GIITTEN 7 RERG j the vast agencies of science, whose divining-rod can reveal the mysteries of the heavens above and the earth , beneath, and the waters .. under the. _earth ; the, collective wisdom of both' branches. of our municipal Councils, whose gentle sway - within the limits of the corporate city is not to be disputed ;—these are the resources, these are the mighty weapons that are to be hurled against the playful little creatures that hang like drapery upon the skirts of budding spring, and .gracefully festoon the walks of civil life, like the amber-droppings in the last scene of the late burlesque it the Chestnut. It is mean to take advantage 'of our superior station, and turn the instru ments which God and nature have put into our hands against the most harmless of .our "creature comforts." Swaying to and fro with every passing breeze, they typify life's changes, and are the natural pendulums that 'count the hours of our fleeting exist ence. Why should they not bp'permitted to have full swing ? Shame upon the. mis- creants who would pervert the power of the pjess.tWthe uses of a vermifu l e- and convert the areanuir — Tascience into a worm:phyla°, tery ! How much nobler the conduct of our aneestors, whO went into the culture, of the mores multicaulis with enthusiasm, that the worms might be furnished with mulberry buneheS gratis, and might have no care but to tuck themselves out in thp finest silks] But the world moves, and other times baiit come upon us, Not only do we contend that this on slaught on the, dainty little creatures is wholly partisan, and at war with the "finest instincts of our nature, but we think it is at variance with ,the true interests of ..our people., In the grand economy of Nature; no living being is without, what Hrs. JEL• INBY would call "its mission:" Worms are both useful and ornamental, Some of the prettieSt achievements in mosaics are vermiculated works, which are eulogized by all the lexicographers: Some time ago aquariums were all the rage, and gasping gold-fish, consorting with hideous eels and lizards, among pebble-stones and impossible rocks, graced many of the most fa§biena,ble . reception-halls. But the introduCtion of 'gravel-roofing made pebble-stones ,scaree, and aquariums are numbered with the past. Cannot some enterprising fellow-citizen invent what might be termed a vermicel lium ? What would' be a greater ornament to a parlor than a silver-mounted case, re splendent with the wonders of this species Of animate creation ? Or the little pets might be allowe'd to cluster rustically on the hang ing:baskets of Incas or fern which' our lady frienda nurture so tenderly at this season ! ColyrEn somewhere says-- , K I would not enter on my list friende, Though graced with polished rciannera and fine - base, Fut wanting sensibility, the man Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm." But herein lies the difficulty, that there are ruthless men in every : community ; there are men'whose souls are dead to the charms of beauty and the forms of symmetry. These are the men who write indignant eommuni 'Cations to the papers, they are iconoclasts ; they seek to mount to the pedestal of fame ;upon the noses of a popular clam*: These men should be rebuked ; they should be taught that there are more things betwixt heaven and earththan is dreamt of in their ,philosophy,. and that the meek : eyed worms are hi the category. " We rely on the good sense of our people to•rectify the evil, for the masses of the people are conservative, and are firmly impressed with POPE'S doc trine, that " Whatever is, is right." LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL" • WASHINGTON, June - 3, 1863 The new leaders of the new Democracy taught their followers another, instructive and weighty, lessOn on Monday evening, in Independence Square. Heavy, indeed, are the burdens which these followers must. bear.

Passengers arriving here by boat from Acquit% creek report that a flag of truce last night brought over two Richmond papers of yesterday. There were in them no dates later from Vicksburg than have already been published. The rebel officers informed the bearer of the flag that they had later advices, to the effect that Vicksburg bad not been taken. The papers, it was said by those who saw them, contained no intelli gence of interest from any part of the South. One of them, perhaps the Enquirer, in an editorial, de-' precates the newspaper attacks, upon Gen. PEMBER TON, and says this course tends to demoralize the troops; and theta frequent change of commanders causes delay, and produces other disastrous effects. It refers, as a case in point, to the results of such a course on the part of the United States. The Pirate Alabama. -- Information has been received here that the rebel steamer Alabama, on the 12th- of May, boarded a British ship off, the coast of Oampeachy.. One of these papers apologizes to its patrons for not giving the votes of tne soldiers Virginia, in the late election, as such a publication would afford the Federals an idea of their actual strength.

Mr. Arnold, of Illinois, presented a series of re solutions succinctly setting forth the advantages of a ship canal through Illinois, and directing the at tention of Congress to the importance of the work. The resolution of Mr: Ruggles was referred to the committee: The Convehtior! then 'Adjourned , till 3 o'clOck P.M AFTERIZOON SESSION Ur. Thiggles reported the following resolution The loyal States assembled in National Con vention at Chicago, desirous of cementing closer the Union, for perpetuating our national unity forever, of providing for the common defence, and promoting the general welfare of our whole country, do adopt the following resolutions First. That we regard the construction and en largement of the canal betweenthe Mississippi river and Atlantic, with canals duly connecting the lakes, as a great military and commercial necessity ; we believe such an enlargement or construction, with dimensions sufficient to pass gunboats from the Mis sissippi to Lake Michigan, and from the Atlantic to - and from the great lakes, will furnish' the cheapest and most expeditious meandof protecting the North ern frontier, and at the same time will promote a rapid development of the union of our whole court- Second. That these works are demanded alike.by , military prudence, political wisdom, and the neces sities of commerce. Such works will be not only national, but continental, and their accomplishment is required by every principle of sound political economy. , Third. That ouch a national highway between the Mississippi and, the lakes; as far as practicable, should be free without tolls and restrictions, and we would deprecate placinglthis great thoroughfare in the hands of any privateepirporation or State. The Work should be accompliehediby the national credit, and as soon as the cost was reimbursed to the Na tional-Treasury should be as free as thelakes to the - commerce of the world. The resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice:. ar. Ruggles, for himself, offered a resolution, That the Convention is of the opinion that the in creased stimuhis given to agriculture and commerce by the proposed enlargement of the canals will far increase the foreign 'commerce or the -country, and that the import duties on return cargoes will very far exceed the interest on the cost of the proposed works and produce a fund for its rapid reimburse- This was carried unanimously. A resolution was adopted . for the appointment of a committee by the president, to prepare a memo- rial to the President of the United States aim Con gress, presenting the.views of the Convention, and urging . the- passage of laws necessary to carrying them into full effect, the committee to have power to open such correspondence as may be expedient, and in their discretion call any further Convention, five members af the said committee, at any meeting duly notified by the chairman, to constitute a•quo. rum.

Sin': On the evening of the 21st I received a com munication from Gen. Grant informing me that he' intended to attack the whole of the rebel works at 10 o'clock A. M. on the next day, and asking me to_ shell the batteries from 9.30 until 10.30, to annoy the garrison. I kept six mortars playing rapidly on the works and town all night atnd sent the Benton, Mound Ctty, and. Carondelet up to shell the• water batteries and other places where troops ,might be resting during the night. ,„ • At o'clopir in the morning the Mound City pro ceeded across the river and made an attack on the hill batteries oppoiite the , canal. At 8 o'clock I joined her with , the Benton, Tuscumbia, and Ca- , ronelelet. All these vessels opened on the bill pl.t teries, and finally silenced them, though the main work on the battery, containing the heavy rifled gun, was done by, .the Mound s City; Lieutenant Commanding Byron Wilson. I then pushed the Benton, Mound City, and Ca.. eondelet up to the water batteries, leaving the Tus cumbia (which is still out of repair) to keep the hill batteries' from firing on our vessels after they had passed by. The three gunboati passed 'up slowly, owing to the strong current—the Mound City leading, the Benton following, and the Caron delet astern. The water batteries Opened furiously, supported by battery, on the starboard. The vessels advanced to within four hundred and forty yards (by Our marks), and returned the fire for two hours • without cessation, the enemy's fire being vtry accurate and incessant. Finding that the hill batteries behind us were silenced, I ordered up the Tuscumbia to within 800 yards of the batteries; but her turret was soon made untenable, not being able to stand the enemy's shot, and I made her drop down. I had been engaged„ with the forts an hour longer than General Grant asked. The vessels had all received severe shots under water, which we could not stop up while in Motion ; and, not knowing what might have delayed the movement of the army, I ordered the vessels to drop out of fire, which they did in a cool and hand some manner. This was the hottest fire the gunboats.: had ever - ticen - unneei-o+.+;- - tie - frig more on Ulevel with them than usual, the gunboats threw in their shell so fast that the aim of the enemy , was not very good. The enemy hit theyessefs'a number of times, but the shot did but little damage. Not a man was killed, - and only a few wounded. I had only enough ammunition for a few moments longer, and set all hands to work to fill up from our depot below. After dropping back, I found that the enemy had taken possession again of one of the lower-hill batteries, and was endeavoring to re mount his guns, and had mounted a 19,-polinder field piece to fire at Gen. 111cArthnes troops, which had landed a short' time before at Warrenton.- I sent the Mound City and Carondelet to drive them off; +which they - did in a few minutes. I begleave to enclose a letter from Ge'n. McAr thur, explaining why he did (to use his own ex-, pression) take advantage of the results gained by` the gunboats. I have since learned from General Grant that the 'army did assault at the right time .General Grant and his soidiers;are> confident that the brave and energetic generals in the army will - soon overcome' all obstacles and carry the. works.

This vessel was to have been covered with 4% inoh iron plating and was to have had six engines, fotii side wheels and the propeller.

'CHICAGO, June 3.—The following -handbill' is bons circulated throughout the city : - "All good-aod 1(181 citizens of Chicago who favor free epeech and freedom of the press, as guaranteed to us by the'Constitution we love and uphold, are invited to assemble in mass meeting, in front of the Chicago Times office on Wednesday evening, June 3, at 8 o'clock, to take counsel' together in regard to the iecent infamous and tyrannical order of Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, in suppressing newspapers always Democratic, and consequently always loyal." . CHICAGO, June 3.—A motion was- made in the United States Court this morning, by the Times' counsel, to defer the application for - an injunction until notice of the application could be given the military commandant at Camp Douglas. - Judge Drummond, in granting the notice, said : "I may be pardoned 'for saying that, personally and officially, I desire to give every aid and assist ance in my power to the Government and the-Ad ministration in restoring the Union ; but I have always wished the Government as a Government of law and "a Government of the Constitution, and not a mere physical, force. I have personally contended, and shall, always contend, for the right of free dis cussion, and the right of commenting under the law and under the Constitution, upon the acts of officers of the Government."

In accordance with the call issued this forenoonsn immense meeting assembled at 8 o'clock to-night, in front of the Times office. -The crown soon filled the street, rendering it im passable. The meeting adjourned to the Court-house square, and was there addressed from the north side en trance by gentlemen of both parties.

SvErsovistm, June 3.—A. preamble and series of resolutions were passed by the House of Representa tives to-day, by a vote of 47 to 13, after an exciting debate. They are in substance as follows : Whereas, Information had reached this body that an order has been issued by General Burnside for the suppression of the Chicago Time,; • And whereas, Such order is in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States and this State and destructive of those Gnd-given prineipleiwhose existence and recognition for centuries, before any written Constitution was made, and which are as much a part of our rights as the life which sustains Be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring therein, That we denounce the order which threatens an act so revolutionary and despotic, as contrary to liberty, destructive of gOod government, subversive of constitutiontil and natural rights, and which, if carried into effect, we consider equivalent to an overthrow of our form of Government, and the establi I , ment of a military despotism in its stead. Resolved, That, in view of: the monstrous conse quences which must inevitably follow from such action, Jf justified by the General Government, we respectfully yet firmly request the withdrawal of the order in question, and disavowal thereof by those in IMwer, as the only course which can be pur sued to reassure our people that the constitutional freedom, so dear to their hearts, has not ceased to be. - The aitention of the Governor is also called to Lthisinfringement of the popular righta eincl invasion - - of the sovereignty-of-Illinois. The - Peace 'Convention. NEW YORK, June 3.—The Peace 'Convention wet held this afternoon irr Cooper Institute. The principal speaker was Fernando Wood. The resolutions adopted declare fealty to the 'Constitu tion and to the sovereignty of the States and of the people; that under the Constitution there is no power to coerce the States, or any of them, by mili tary force ;'that the war is contrary to the Consti tution and should be put an end to ; that attempts to do away with the provision of the 'Constitution which points out how crimes are to be punished, are highhanded violations of the sworn duties of our rulers ; that the claim of dictatorial and unli mited military power and trial of citizens by courts martial are monstrous and execrable ;-that the dog ma of unlimited submission to the executivebranch of the Government is unworthy an American citi zen ; that we protest against the cowardly, despotic, - inhuman, and accursed act of banishment Of- Dlr. Vallandigham ; and that we recommend a suspen-' sion of hostilities, and the holding of a convention to settle the matter of arriving at terms of recon ciliation between the contending sections.

[Special Correspondence.of The Press.) NEW Yontr, June 3, 1863 THE "PEACE" CON'VENTION, ; which commences- operations at five o'clock this evening, at the Cooper Institute, is to be protected from interruption by the entire police strength of the city, and a guard of no less than five hundred , blue-coated,and brass-buttoned knights of the civic • club will respectfully present arms to the amiable 'Democratic gentlemen who propose to make a last :,effort for anarchy. The militia, awl . stated in my letter-of,yesterday, are to hold themselves in readi items in the armories to answer any call of the mayor; and no means of preserving the peace has been left unemployed by our vigilant authorities. It maibe that everything will pass off in the most orderly manner, Fernando Wood and his supple tools talking sedition without 'interruption, and the applause responding without one discordant hiss; but it still appears to be believed by everybody that there will be trouble. If you ask a man if he is going to the Peace Convention, he Is pretty sure to reply : "Not unless I can get my life insured and where all feel in this way there I is at least some danger of what all appear to depre ' cate. In fact; this "Peace"• Convention is an out rageupon the national honor a disgrace to New "York and the most audacioub thing yet ventured :by Northern sympathizers With Southern treason. Its instigators well know that it can have no pos. lible,good effect, and so conscious are they of its infamy that they think it necessary to guard against „ilia indignation of the people by having concealed weapons carried to the hall by gangs of their rowdy ollowers. It' is Impossible to contemplate the ap proaching event without most serious apprelaen felons of violent results; b,ut there are still 'grounds to hope that the law-and-order respec tability of our loyal citizens will prevent any .organized demonstration against the traitorous con clave, and that. the formidable array of • police will be. sufficient to prearent disturbances that might be mintagious among the plotters themselves. 'That - • the attei?dance will be large 'does not admit of a doubt, for the affair isothe principal topic , of con 'venation all over the city, and thousands will go from the promptings of, an irresistible curiosity. With a hypocrisy, Characteristic of the breed, the Democrats you meet all disclaim any connection With this peace Movement, and avow that it is made outside of the party, and by outsiders exclusively ; ~but- the moment a word is said about the itnpro- Priety of suce a movement being permitted, in the present state of public feeling, these double-faced :patriots commence to pour out torrents of vicious cant about the '" freedom of Speech," and quickly 'show just how much their war spirit amounts to.

A communication in reference to the cultivation ofllungarian seed, was received from W. U. Putt, of Bridesburg. The letter stated that 'the seed was firstietroduoad-into_the central section of Illinois in the spring oflB6o. It was found that it grew ra pidly, and was much sought after by cattle.. The yield averaged four and a half tona.per acre. When horses were sparingly led with the Hungarian hay, it was - found highly beneficial, though dangeroua when used too freely. Dr. Kennedy, secretary of the society, presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted Resolved, That the society has heard with profound *egret of the death of Judge Elias E. Baudinot, for many years an active and useful member of this so ciety, whose genial temper, active benevolence, and' liberal contributions to the cause of agriculture had endeared him to a large circle of farmers and citi zens. Ilesolved, That a copy of the above be transmitted to the family of the deceased. Mr. Harry Ingersoll read a letter from the Eve ning Mail, of London, in reference to the use 'of guano and other manures. Mr. Fisher presented a specimen of unginned cot ton, grown in Kent county, iVlarvland, on the banks of the Sassafras river, by kir. Nathaniel Wolfe. The latter gentleman stated that the soil is a sandy loam and no manure was used. The crop was planted on the 12th of May, 1862, and was cultivated in, a man ner nearly similar to corn. Tle commenced to gather in upon the Ist of September, and continued until the frosts set in. The yield was one Mindred and fifty pounds clean cotton per acre, worth at that time eighty-five cents per pound. The quality pro duced was equal to the beat Georgia upland cotton. The crop having been planted late was somewhat damaged by the frosts, and no manure having been used, the yield Was nOt DO great as it might have been. The society then adjourned. ' NINETEENTH WARD UNION LEAGIA.— , The members of this energetic association assembled on Tuesday evening, to listen to an address by Nlr. William Roche Whiter, of Germantown. About eight o'clock, the speaker took the stand, and pro ceedid to deliver an eloquent speech, in favor of sustaining the Government in the present crisis of our national affairs. In the course of hie remarks, Pdr. Vistar touched incidentally upon the inconsis tencies of the so-called Democratic party. Many of these were enumerated, and one in particular, for which a' Democratic Congressman elect from one of our upper districts was made reanoneible, elicited conaidereble merriment. This gentleman, in a recent speech to the "unterrified," drew a fear fuPpicture of the effect of " Old Lincoln's" emanci pation proclamation. In allusion to it, lie said "that the moment it went into operation the North will be overrun with 'niggers.' They will crowd every avenue of useful employment and displace the, white laboring man and' mechanic, and thereby en tail an immense amount of suffering and distress upon our people." A few minutes later, however, he asserted that " these same niggers were an idle, lazy, thriftless set, who would fill our almshouses and jails upon their arrival among us, or have to be otherwise maintained by public or private charity." This anecdote of/the astute gentleman in question was particularly relished by those present, as he is a well-known character in the vicinity. Upon the conclusion- of Mr. Wistar's remarks, Mr. Jeremiah Eldridge, in response to numerous calls, delivered a brief and patriotic address, after which the meeting adjourned. - RETITTikiNG HomE.—Last night -the 29th New York Regiment passed through .this city, on their way home from the eeat of war, having served their two year term of, service. They were escorted through our principal streets by a number of Ger man societies, with bands of music, creating much enthusiasm along the route. The regiment num bered about 360 men, over 600 having been killed, wounded, or discharged, Col. Steinwehr, the com manding officer, did not accompany- the regiment, _having been obliged to remain in Washington in consequence of recent wounds.- The 29th embraced about 300 men from this city, and the whole regi ment was mostly, if not altogether, composed of •Germans. They have - done yeoman service, and have nobly earned the good fame which attaches to them. Their well-worn and much-tattered flags, which they carried through the streets last evening, were evidence sufficient of their great valor and he roic patriotism. They remained in ttte city over night, and were the guests of the German Turner Societies. FAIRMOUNT YARN.—Yesterday afternoon the members of Select and Common Council visited Faiimount Park, for thee - purpose of inspecting the improvements that have lately taken place there under the efficient superintendence of Mr. McDo nough, Commissioner of City Property. The walks are smoothly gravelled over, the shrubbery and grass in delightful budding, the rubbish that has been so lOng an eyesore to the locality removed ;,hydrants have been introduced, settees placed atconvenient distances, and everything about the grounds has been made to contzibute to the general beauty of the park. The trees are free of worms, and sono rous with birds innumerable. The mansion house, which has so long been in a dilapidated condition, has been remodelled and renovated, and presents a charming and harmonious appearance. The visit of the city fathers convinced them of the - care and - skill with which the management of the park has re cently, been characterized ; for they expressed them selves thus, in very decided terms, at a social festive assembling, after their tour of, inspection. STRIKE ON A RAILROAD.—Another strike for higher wages was made by the drivers in the em ploy of the Arch-street. Passenger Railroad Compa ny. on Tuesday afternoon. Tne strike a few days since was settled by• a compromise, and the men were paid $1.46 per d.sy: They how demand $l6O. -Yesterday morning there was some difficulty at the d6pCit. Some substitutes were put upon the cars in place of those who refused to drive, and this led to opposition from,the old drivers. . . . On Tuesday afternoon a driver was pulled from his ear by one of the leaders of the strike. "The Board of Managers of the road will hold a meeting this morning to endeavor to effect some arrange. ments with both drivers and conductors. We un derstand that there is a probability of the strike ex tending among the drivers of two or three other roads. ' .

Broadhent & Co; opened their immense establish ment at Nos. 912, 914, and 916 Chestnut street, some months ago, they determined to give to Philadelphia such a Photographic institution as no other city in the Tjni9n could boast. Their aim in this particular has been handsoniely realized. Not only do con noisseurs of the daguerrian art in its various branches admit that Messrs. Broadbent & Co.'s pin. tures are the best produced in America, but some excellent judges assert that they are unequalled by the most skilful Photographers in the first capitals of Europe.
