THE NEWS.
brit European news brings us a variety of British

OUR news from 'Vicksburg reports the saltation
safe and full of, promise, our army in admirable
spirits, and the dispositions of Gen. Grant for the
capture of the city are . worthy of all confidence. The
women and children Sad been all Owed to leave the
town, for which purpose the cessation of hostilities
occurred on' the 21st. Gen. Frank Blair's divieion
bad started for the Black river bridge, his destine,-
tion unknown. Admiral Porter gives a report of
the efficient naval operations of the siege, and the
expedition up the Yazoo, whose results will tell
with severity upon the supplies, property, and arma
ment of the rebels. •
Foul , HuosoN, like Vicksburg, is now being
besieged; General Banks has united his forces with
those of General Augur, who fought the battle of
Port Hudson. 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 Conscription Act.
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

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

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,

Rebel Reports from Vicksburg.
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

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

Admiral Porter's Oltie Report.
WASH inwros,June3.—The followingdespatch was
received at the Navy, Department this afternoon:
• MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON,
FLAG-SI/IP BLACK HAWK, May ea.
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. DAVID D. PORTER,

Mississippi SQUADRON,FLAG SHIP , BLAOK
HAWK, NEAR VICESEURG, May 24, 1863,
Sin I have the honor to inform you thatthe ex
pedition I sent up the Yazoo river the day after I
took possession of the forts on Snyder's Bluth have
returned, having met with perfect success.
As the steamers approached Yazoo City the rebel
property was fired by Lieut. Brown, of the rain Ar
kansas, and what he had begun our forces finished.
Three powerful rams were burnt—the Mobile, a,
screw vessel ready for plating ; the Republic, being
fitted for a ram with railroad iron plating, and a
vessel on the stocks—a monster three hundred and
ten feet long [and - seventy-five feet beam. 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. She would have given
us much trouble: "
The rebels had under construction a fine navy.
yard, containing fine sawing and planing machines, -
and 'an extensive machine' shop, carpenter and.
blacksmith shops, and all the necessary appliances
for a large building and repairing yard. -Lieutenant:
Commanding Walker burned all these with a large
quantity
. of valuable building timber. He also
burned a large - sawmill that had been used in con
structing the monster ram. - , •
The material destroyed, at a moderate estimate;
coil more than two millions of dollars. We had one
- man killed and seven wounded by field pieces from
the enemy's batteries, received while going up the
river., Our wounded are'doing

the handsome manner in which he performed the
duty assigned him. If he could have obtained pi
lots he would have succeeded in -getting POssesidori

'UNITED STATES STEAMER BARON. DE KALI 3,
• NORTH OF THE YAZOO RIPER, May 23, 1863.'
SIR : I have the honor to report that, in obedience
to your orders; I started from Snyder's Bluff on the
20th instant, with the De Kalb, Choctaw, Forest
Rose, Linden, and Petrel, On an expedition to
Yazoo City.
Arriving at Haines' Bluff, I landed a force and
spiked an 8-inch gun in the works there and burned
the carriage. I also burned some forty tents, which
were left standing, and a steam saw-mill.
Arriving at Yazoci City at 1 P. M. on the 13th lust;
I was met by a committee of citizens, who informed
me that theplace had been evacuated by the mili
tary authorities, and asked protection. The navy
yard and vessels had been fired by the enemy, and I
Sent a working party to insure the dOstrilation Of
everything valuable to the rebels. The Vessels
burned were. the Mobile, a screw vessel, ready for
her planking the Republic, which was being fitted
- out for a ram, and a vessel on the stocks, a monster,
310 feet long and 70 feet beani. The navy' yard con
tainedfive saw and planing -mills, an extensive ma
chine shop, carpenter and blacksmith shops, and all
the necessary fixtures for a large building and re•
:pairing yard, which, with a very large quantity of
,lumber, were burned. I also burned a large saw
mill above the town. - '
Most of the public stores had been removed, which,
as I learned in the town, were taken on board the
vessels or destroyed. Enclosed I send .a list of.the
articles removed or destroyed bY Acting Volunteer
Lieutenant Brown, the officer detailed for that pur
pose. In the hospitals I found and paroled 115 sol
diers, a list of whom I enclose. '
Returning, I left Yazoo City this morning, ar
riving here at 4 o'clock P. M.
At Liverpool landing, in a sharp; bend of the river,
we were attaCked by a force of field guns and about'
200 riflemen, concealed in bushes, and ,for a few
minutes the firing was very sharp: The, enetny re
.
treated as soon as - the vessels got position to
use the guns with effect. The Petrel, Linden, and
Choctaw were struck by shot, but with.:no particu
lar injury to either. Sergeant Stockinger, of this
~vessel, was killed by a rifle shot. The Linden had
five wounded, the t'etrel two, and the Chectaw one.
Most of the wounds, I am. happy to say, are alight.

The _Case of The -Chicago Times.
CHICAGO, June' 3.—Shortly after 12 o'clock last
night Judge Drummond issued a writ directing the
rid Mary authollties to take no further steps to carry
into cffect, the eider. of Gen. Burnside for the sup
preseloil of the Chicago Times until the application
for a permanent writ of injunction could be heard in
open court today.
At 33; o'clock this morning, after nearly the whole
edition had been worked off; a file of soldiers broke
into the office and took possession of the establish
ment, and remained for some time. They then left,
'after giving notice that if any attempt was made to
publish another paper the military would take per
manent possession of the gffice.
'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."
During the day the Times office seemed to be, the
centre of attraction, and was visited by .a large
number of people. 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. The speakers
counseled observance of• the law, but denounced
the recent order of Gen. Burnside as arbitrary and
despotic.
During the afternoon the militia were ordered
under arms, but at the present writing the meeting
is orderly; and nothing of a serious nature is antici-
Judge Davis, of the United States Court for the
Sbuthern district of Illinois, is expected tonight
to act in the matter of the application for stn in
junction in connection with Judge Drummond.
Gen. Ammen is also expected here to-night.
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.

conventions of the Peace Democracy, was appoint

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

AGRICULTURALAftebOCIETY. m esteay
morning a stated monthly meeting of the Philadel
'phis Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, was
held at their rooms, on Walnut street.
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. ' .
THE NEW- IRON-CLAD TONAWANDA.—
This now iron- clad, now being rapidly constructed
at our navy yard, attracts considerable attention,
and draws daily to the spot a large number of vi
sitors. The Tonawanda will carry, four guns, with
a burden of 1,664 tons. Her dimensions are: length,
between perpendiculars, 260 feet ; extreme breadth
of beam, 50 feet; and depth of hold 12 feet. The ribs
of the vessel are all in position, and the planking
more than two-thirds completed. In addition to
five incherfof iron plating, she will have a thickness
of planking that will be almost impervious to shot
and shell. - Her two turrets will be very strong, and
carry two of the heaviest guns, each. All the late
improvements are to be added, both to hull and
turrets. Below deck the space is roomy and coin-
fortable. The Tonawanda is being built exactly on
the plan of the 'Ericsson's batteries, with the excep
tion of having two turrets. A large amount of- the
timber_uscd in her construction was purchased frOm
parties hiLancaster county.
REBEL TlEsEßTEßs.—Y6sterday morning
a squad of twenty.eight deserters from the rebel
army arrived at the barracks of the provost guard of
this city. They had been impressed into the Con.
federate ,service, but becoming disgusted with the
treatment they received, seized upon the first oppor.
tunity to desert to our lines. Some of them say that
it is their intention to enlist in the Union army,
and thus avenge past wrongs. In the evening, a
small number of rebel prisoners were brought to the
barracks under a strong guard. •

CITY I.T3EIVIft.
A GREAT ENTERPRISE.—When Messrs.
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. Their immense business is conducted
with all the system and accuracy of clockwork, so
that not 'one of their patrons is ever obliged to go
away disappointed.
FINE GROCERIES FOR THE COUNTRY.—
Mears. Davis & Richards (successors to the late (.
H. Mattson), dealers in fine family groceries, Arch
and Tenth streets, have studied the wants of their
patrons who are about leaving the city to spend the
Bummer, and wish to supply themselves with a stock
of Groceries for this purpose. Private citizens,
hotel-keepers,_ and_ proprietors of summer resorts,
will here find the -best stock in the-city to select
from, and all goods Phrchased at this store are Care. -
fully packed and sent to any of the ddpOta free of
charge. ,

GENERAL ROSECRANS.—One of the most
spirited lithographs we have seen for some time is
an equektrian portrait of General W. S. Rosecrans,
one of the most distinguished militiry'conimanders
in our army. It is published by Mr. J. H. Bufford,
Boston, and is sold here by James Challen & Son,.
Chestnut street, who are agents for NU'. Bufford's
numerous and superior engravings of all descrip
tions: General Rosecrans was born in Ohio, in 1819,
and was educated at West. Point, where* distin
guished himself by his proficiency in engineering.
TirE AfmnirEs OF TICEBES. —Messrs.
Ayer & Co. have received from Alexandria a cargo
of rags to pay for their medicines, which are largely
sold in Egypt. They are evidently gathered frost
all classes and quarters of the Pacha's dominions—
the cast-off germ : guts of Hadjis and Howadjis—white
linen turbans, 15ose breeches, and flowing robes.
Not the least part of their bulk is cloth in which
bodies were embalmed and wound for preservation
three thousand years ago. They are now to be
Made into paper for AYer's Almanacs, and thus, after
having wrapped the dead for thirty centuries, are
used to warn the living froiv-theiisrrow house
which they have so long inhabited, and to which, in

surely go.—Daily Evening Journal..
WIIAT CONSTITUTES BEAUTY.—Three
charming women were discussing, one day, what it
•
is which constitutes beauty: ins gentleman. A
young gentleman friend p?miented himself, and by
common consent the questiOo r was referred to`him.
It was a delicate matter. After considering a short
time, however, he said he thought the most beauti
ful thing he knew of was a new and handsome suit
of summer garments manufactured. at the One-price
Clothing DepOt of Granville Stokes, No; - 609 Chest
nut street.
- FT - FrraßOGENEorrs as are cities, and varied
as are their, tastes in 'almost everything, their food,
habits, customs, modes of living, and articles of
dress, including shoes, boots, hats, and gloves, it
seems shigular that; with all the variety , we would
expect to find in a city of 600,000 inhabitants, such uni
formityof choice exists inthe subject of gentlemen's
clothing, when we state that the majority of first
class suits Worn by'gentlemen in this city Are from
the famous establishment of Charles Stokes & Co.,
under the Continental. We only say-what is as
well known to every one else as ourselves.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The West
end is excited by rumors of a wedding that is about
to come off in the inner round of fashionable circles.
The lady, is young, beautiful, accomplished, and
wealthy, and the gentleman is rich and handsome.
The bridesmaids will be numerous: the grooms
ditto. 'The outfit of the fair bride is.raagniacent—
. silks, satins; laces, and diamonds figuring largely
in theinventory. _ The groom and his friends main
tain a judicious silence as to the figiure they will cut
upon the momentous occasion ; but as it is whispered
thaf all hands are prociiring their wedding suits at
the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of llockhill &Wil
son, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth,
there are no fears but that they will perform their
share of the ceremony in an elegant 'and hemming
style. •
