lowing resolution, passed at a meeting of
the Union State Central Committee held in
this city yesterday, that the Convention
summoned 'to meet in Pittsburg on the Ist
of July has been postponed until the sth

PHILAMLPHIA, June 14,-1863.
THE NEWS.
THrc inroad On Telaryland and Pennsylvania ap
pears to be taking a still more menacing, form. .Ew
ell,a whole corps, to the number of about twelve
thousand men, is reported having crossed the Penn
aylvania border. The rebels were ravaging through
Franklin county, and were in force at Alercersburg.
Later the enemy was advancing in the direction of
_Harrisburg. Yesterday afternoon they were within
twelve Miles "of tffirnsic,, - aua- a+in Gan_
:Knipe, it was expected, would give then battle - .
The excitement is greM at Harrisburg, and near the
border. Our correspondent M Baltimore derives
intelligence from official quarters, that Gen. Lee,
with a largh portion of his army, had just crossed
the Potomac into Williamsport, Maryland. Lee's
whole army, it is thought, must now be in Western'
Naryland.
IT is reported, in correspondence frcini Vicksburg,
. that the siege had reached its climax. On the 20th,
it was intended to open with hot shot, thus giving
up the city to the worst tortures of war. Letters
also express the'euspicion that General Grant haa
ordered another assault. : At all events, thigarrison
was rapidly giving out, little hope being entertained
from Johnston. An early surrender was expected.
On the 16th, Nohnston's advance, consisting of half
..
a dozen regiments, NVai at Champion Hills, and pa.
. soled four hundred sick and wounded of Hovers
division. It is thought that General Grant, who
comprehends the real strength of his antagonist,
will disarrange his hopes and plans by an aggres
sive movement. The leader of the national army
it, by all reports, credited with vigilance and enter
prise, and everything seems to bear upon a victo
rious event. A number of extravagant stories have
been current in rebel papers regarding the strength
of Johnston , a army, but the general tone of the re
bel pre'ss is despondent, unquestionably. Johnston's
promise to pardon all deserters who return to him is
among the news of the latest received rebel papers,
and is very significant.of his situation.
Otrir correspondence furnishes a full account of
the ,rebel misdoings in Chambersburg. It is esti
mated that they have taken three thousand horses
out of Franklin county, in this State, and Washing
ton county, Maryland. - We find a confirmation of
the repeated story of General Jenkins' aversion to
Northern tories, who endeavored to flatter that ec
centric Officer on his visit to Chambersburg. One
of these was severely chastised in a speech of the
rebel trooper.
RUMORS have reached Havana that the pirate
'Alabama had been attacked at Santa Cruz by the
National ship Vanderbilt, but the facts are yet. to
be learned. Forty miles southeast front Chatham.,
on the Massachusetts coast, the pirate Tacony is re..
ported to have run into a fleet of fishing vessels, of
,which three were afterwards seen on ere. The de
struction of thirteen vessels by this privateer is re
ported within twenty-four hours.
PESPATCHES from Sore( iset, Ky., say there are
indications that the rebels are concentrating in the
vicinity of the Cumberland Mountains, with the in
tention of invading Kentucky.
GEN. DELARUE, who married the only daughter
of Beaumarchais, author of the "Marriage of Figa
ro," has just died, at the age of ninety-six; He was
aid-de ! eamp to General Lafayette, colonel of the
Eighth .legion of the. National Guard, and was by
the side of Louis Philippe when Fietichi's infernal
machine was tired off. His lieutenant colonel, M.
de Mousse°, was ..killed behind him, with Marshal
National Guard, and, although . eighty years of age,
remained on horaeback the whole day on the memo
rableZith of February...
'TUE Archbishop of- Tuam laid the foundation
stone of a new Oatholic church at Headford, Ire
:land, on the 7th of Jurie. The •approaches to the
-aite - .were ornamented_with -triumphal arches, sur
mounted by flags.. At'the right of one of the arches
was a•harp, and the words,'"Gh; Erin, my country,
how sad is thy fate I" and , atlthe left a large Ameri
can flag, with the inscription, "God grant peace to
America."
GOVERNOR. PARKER has issued his proclamation
recalling the New Jersey Volunteers from Harris
burg. It has been reported that there was some
misunderstanding or disagreement as to the time of
'service, but we learn that nothing of the kind oc
curred.
Jr is understood that Admiral Dahlgren, who
was to Lave been second to Admiral Foote, had he
been able to take command of the South Atlantic
squadron, is to relieve Admiral Dupont. -
A vent recent number of the Richmond Enquirer
mentions a rumor'that General Wm. Smith, better
knoWn as tire " Fatra , ' Smith, who has just been
elected Governor of
s rebel Virginia, was killed in
the battle of Winchester.
Tim slaughter ofnegro troops by the rebels in the
battle of 'Alilliken's 'Bend has induced General
Grant to issue an order, declaring that, hereafter,
should any soldier, whether while or black, wearing
thevniform of a United States soldier, be captured
and executed, retaliatory measures will be adopted
by him, and rebel soldiers in his hands will be
treated in like manner.
The Invasion of the State.
The experience of the present raid of Jim-
Ratis, as well as that of STUART, leads us to
look with caution upon the .news that
'comes to us from the border counties of the
_State. *We know that farmers and citizens
are apt to magnify bodies of armed men ;
and we have frequently seen a battalion or .
a regiment, or a squad' of troopers doing
duty, in the newspapers as a division or a
corps. It is now pretty certain that the
command of JENKINS ad not number a
Thousand men ; and we may safely assume,
- that at no time during the recent, excite
ment have we had more than a thousind
rebels on the soil of our State. This
is why there was no attack upon any of
the Susquehanna towns, and' no, attempt
to take possession of the State capital.
Still, however, it afforcls 2 no explanation
of the
. news we print this morning. We
are told, with more circumstance. than
generally attends the hasty narratives of
the telegraph, that the rehels have occu
pied 'Chambersburg in force, and are now
quietly taking possession of the other towns
the Cumberland Valley. We do not
read that they have taken Carliale;rnoithatl
they have . crossed into Bedford and the re
g,ion of , the Broad Top, as it is certain that
any such announcement would-be accompa
nied with accounts of a battle or : a Skirmish.
We .clo not know that Carlisle has been
fortified,- but such is our impression. We
may expect warlike intelligence from this
region - very soon. When JENKINS and his
baud occupied Franklin county we were
unable to make any resistance by reason of
our helplessness. But the past ten days
have seen an army spring up around -Filar- .
risburg, and General COSICIL will give •the
invaders the bayonet as soon as he can
venture to bust our levies in the field.
General KNIPEis mentioned as the com
mander
to whom We must trust for imme-:
diate 'deliverance from these invaders. The
precise condition of this general's com
mand we do not know;; and, from the
- words of the despatch, it is uncertain
whether he will await the rebel ad
vance •at Carlisle and Charthershurg.
SuPposing the rebel force in the Valley
'to be, as it is stated, EwELL's corps,
and numbering not leas than ten thousand
men, they will hardly venture upon the
works at Harrisburg, or at any of the fords
of the Susquehanna, without securing the
assistance of General Lux.; and that assist
ance, for the present, seems to be necessary
to watch IlooKmt. At the same time, the
:shame and grief -arising from these ad
ventures of -thee rebels should stimulate
us to renewed energy. No Pennsylvanian
should remain at his home while the foot
of an enemy_ is known to be within the'
limits of this state. If 'these men came:
to steal our horses and goods, and plunder'
our farms, let them be driven from our soil
like robbers. If they come to wage a war
of invasion, let them be met with the fire
and the sword. This is a holy duty. Let
,us organize and arm, and form a complete
- militia systeny'so that we can drive these
- rebels from our midst, and in the future be
prepared to' meet - any ,invaders that may
dare to cross our'border. !...14.g.
The Armies or the Potomac.
The significant activity which marked the
departure of General LEE's?: . army, from
Fredericksburg to the vicinity of . Winches
ter seems, if we may judge from appear
ances, to have been-followed by a , period of
inactivity quite as significant. The entire
rebel army, including - EWELL'S corps, has.
been in the Upper Shenandoah Valley for
more than a week; and yet, beyond the
cavalry engagements-at Aldie and Middle
burg, and the attack on Winchester, the
feeble attempt to take Harper's Ferry, and
the feebler incursions into Maryland and
Pennsylvania, LEE has given us no signs to'
indicate his hostile intentions. True, he has
occasioned us much anxiety and alarm;
but whether lie is content With 'having
accomplished this *much, we have no
means of ascertaining at present. The
idea that he designs -to move
_in
force against Philadelphia, Harrisburg, or
Baltimore, might have seemed reason
able a week ago. With the exception of
Philahelphia, however, the points named
have been so well fortified in the few days
of grace allowed us, that the rebels, if they
ever entertained the idea, have doubtless
abandoned it as no longer feasible. Still, it
is possible that -they mean to destroy the
Northern Central,• Pennsylvania, ór Balti
more and Ohio railroads, in either of which
undertakings the chances of success would
be more promising, and the value of success
would be as great if not-greater. Pre
suming some such intention to be held by
the rebels, it would not in the least interfere
with their main purpose,
.the capture of
Washington, if -LEE really has the force he
is generally. credited with, but rather might
be expected to prove of assistance.
Of course, we, "who know how nearly im
pregnable Washington is; who know how
brave and skilful General IlooKEn. is, and
who know how anxious the gallant Army of
.the_Potomac.feels have, another trial, of
strength - with its old antagonist - , kno* -that
LEE will be disappointed in his great ex
pectations. We know, moreover, that even
should the railroad communication with the
national capital be cut off, it would not ne
cessarily fall into the - enemy'spossession; nor
would the army necessarily be starved into
surrender ; for the PotOmae would still re
main open to us, and it can never again be
blockaded by the enemy while a single
monitor is afloat. LEE is not unaware of.
this ; he latows that Washington, well
ganisoned, could not be taken by an army
twice the size of his own ; and he
knows that his only possibility of -ef
fecting his long-cherished purpose will
be to - first destroy the Army of the Po
tomac. To this end he may make a feigned
movement against Harrisburg or Baltimore,
in the hope of compelling General HOORER
to divide his forces, when they might be
beaten in detail. Such a movement, how
ever, would accomplish nothing;, for, on the
one hand, the cities named are too well
fortified, and, on the other, General HOOKER
is far too 'shrewd to scatter his army at a
time . when all its safety and effectiveness
must depend upc n unity among its men, and
singleness of purpose on the part of its com
mender. Such being the situation of affairs,
Washington may be regarded as safe, and
whatever movements LEE may - make, or
. however threatening .they may appear, - we
can rest easy:in the assurance that they will
ultimately be baffled.
The Eflfeieuey of our Navy.
We have been accustomed to read much
about the surprising energy of the rebel
Nary Department, and papers friendly to
the rebellion, both in this country and
abroad, have frequently adverted to the
topic .for the pm•pose of making invidious
allusions to the inefficiency of the Federal
navy. A portion of the British ,press has
been particularly remarkable for evincing
in this Way its hostility to the North, in
seeming forgetfulness of the fact that, in
most eases, when the rebels have gained
an decided advantaLe neon the ,sea it has
t s eir ng ish allies. It was " neutral"
England that fitted out the Alabama, and it
was mainly Englishmen that manned her
guns and made up her .sailors' crew. -At
least three-fouiths of the < privateers now
afloat and, preying_upon our• commerce have
been launched from English ship-yards. The
efforts which the Southern rebels have made
to fit out a navy have resulted thus far
mainly in failure. Those of their iron-clads
which they have not themselves destroyed
have almost invariably been captured, blown
up, or sunk by our own vessels. The Mer
rimac was blown up to prevent her falling
into our hands; the Webb was burned ;
Hormigs' "turtle " and the iron-clad bat
tery were destroyed by Admiral FARRAGIIT'S
fleet; an unfinished iron -clad, three hun
dred and ten feet long, was lately destroyed
at Yazoo City by one of Admiral PORTER'S
moat effective expeditions ; and the other
dav the ram Atlanta, built at Clyde, "for a
commercial steamer, but altered by the
rebels into an iron-clad at great pains and
expense, was captured, after an engagerrient
of thirty minutes, by two of our monitors,
neither of which received a scratch. So
much for the negative testimony of our naval
superiority.
But we need not let the matter rest here ;'•
for, not to go very far back, we have had
within the past week the most positive and
gratifying evidence of the superior activity,
energy, and efficiency of our naval vessels.
On the sth - of the present month the Isaac
P. Smith, a very fast gunboat, attempted to
run out of Charleston with a cargo of cotton,
and was chased and sunk, on Charleston bar,
by the blockading steamer Wissahickon,
built in Philadelphia. Five days afterwards,
a, large side-wheel steamer was likewise en
countered at the entrance of Charleston
harbor, and was set on fire by one of the
blockading vessels. On the following day
the Calypso, an iron screw-steamer of great
size and speed, with an assorted cargo from
Nassau, was captured by the United States
steamer Florida, thirty miles southeast fivm
Wilmington, N. C., and is now a prize at the
Philadelphia navy. yard. And on.the same
day the Herald, likewise hailing from Nas
sau, and enjoying an extensive reputation for
running the blockalle, was sunk, by our fleet
off Charleston. Such a record as this is a
most satisfactory proof that the affairs of the
Navy Department are being managed with
vigor and competency ; and it.should serve
to silence much of the unjust clamor in
,which the querulous and the disloyal have
incessantly engaged for more than a year
past. If Secretary WELLES has failed to
capture or destroy every rebel privateer, the
fault cannot be charged to his negligence or
lack of vigilance; but to the avarice and
treasonable sympathies of English ship
builders, who, finding no penalty attached
to the violation of the law, persist in fitting
out new vessels for their Southern friends,
as fast as the old ones are taken and con—
demned in our prize courts.
WE TOOK. OCCASION, a few days ago, to
comment upon the unjust and vindietiVe
character of many articles . printed in South
ern newspapers, in reference to the NOrth
and Northern soldiers. We find a newevi
denee of the fact in the editorial columns of
a leading Georgia paper. The Atlanta In-
telligencer says of ROSECRANS, that his atro-'
cities are more-, appalling than the fiend
BUTLER'S ; that he is a consummate'ruffian,
an arrant bully, a shrewd. deviser of little
acts, an adroit observer, and• an active but
prudent operator. It accuses him.of laying
waste Tennessee,, burning rebels' houses,
stealing their horses, and preventing the
cultivatiortof the soil. It is much to be
regretted that. General Rosacnnivs has not
succeeded in winning the good opinions of
the.rebels ; but it is rather .a singular fact
that those of our generals who have been
most berated for their " appalling atrocities,",
have invariably been those who were in
favor of waging' the 'war earnestly, effec
tively, and upon warlike principles.

Non-intervention.
The abrupt, e . yert:, uncivilzlipmtssal of
Consul 310011 E frcira.Biehmonaitroroves that
"the so-_ealled,Southern Confederacy" has
finally relinquished all hope of assistance,
in the shaPe of intervention or mediation,
from the British Government. Mr. DAVIS
and his satellite, honest Mr. ,BENJAMIN,
would not have withdrawn the exequatur
from any British functionary, if they be-
lieved there was the least chance left of Bri
tish sympathy taking the active form of
openly siding with-Rebellion. Were PAL
MERSTON and RUSSELL to side with the
South, simply because it had revolted, a
precedent would thereby be established full
of anomalies and fruitful in prospective diffi
culties. For exainple---to say nothing of
Australia and Canada; evidently destined to
4kalre off the British yoke, ere long—lndia
and Ireland present such difficulties. India
did revolt in 1857, and Ireland perpetually
breathes such an atmosphere of , discontent
and disloyalty that_statesmen shudder as
: they. speculate on her future, not knowing.
at what moment- the tornado may burst,
laden with rebellion, riot, and bloodshed.
With India and Ireland in hand, England
cannot consistently take the part of any
rebels, and this because it would establish a
principle that, like *gr swords of the Sera
phim, can cut two Ways. Let England ac
knowledge the independence of our rebels - ,
and the retort, in' no remote day; may be
the ticknowledgment of NANA SAHIB'S sove
reignty over revolted Hindostan, or of
SMITH O'BRIEN'S or General MEACIHER'S
Presideney of the future Irish republic. All
that the GREGORIES and. RoEnuctirs may
say .in the House of Commons, all that
LAIRD and LINDSAY may do in ,building and
fitting up pirates for the Southern rebels
cannot induce PAnivrEnsToN and RUSSELL
to ignore the principle in question. Were
they ever so much disposed to aid the rebel
lion, they cannot acknowledge it. In the
opinion of able jurists, they - even went a
step too much when, on its outbreak, they
acknowledged the revolted thieves-and trai
tors as belligerents. -
It being thus, as regards' England, there
is not much chance that any other European
Power will play the rble which she is neces
sitated to reject. From the first, as might
have been expected, Russia has openly
sympathized with our Union and our . efforts
to maintain it. NAPOLEON, now under a
cloud, on account of his failure in Mexico
and his pet candidates'
,failure in the recent
elections; will find it hard enough to rule
his own. empire, without meddling with
ours. Austria stands in. constant awe of a
rebellion in Hungary. Italy is in - a transi
tion state, and has her own affairs to regu
late and consolidate. 'ln Prussia, the over
throw, if not of the Brandenburg dynasty,
at least of the present monarch, may be
looked for any hour. In a word, Europe
has Sufficient on hand to manage her own
affairs, and must leave us to adjust our own.
That the mock-Government of Richmond'
think this, is evident from their dismissal,
in a peremptory 'manner, of Mr.. MoonE,
the British Consul.
Even if all things went smoothly in Eu
rope, we do not see what pretext could be
made for what is called 'intervention. In
the words of Mr. SEWARD'S recent reply to
M. DROUYN DE L'HUTS' note inviting this
country to join the cabinets of Paris, Lon
don, and--Vienna, in active co-operation on
the Polish question, it is our settled, consti
tutional rule, that " the American,Teople
must confine itself to advancing the cause
of progress in the world, by exercising at
home a wise power of self-government, but
keeping aloof from all foreign alliance, in
tervention, or interference." What we
scrupulously avoid doing to foreign Powers,
assuredly they shall never be permitted to
attempt against us.

There are many persons who still anticipate that

A deserter, belonging to the 44th Georgia regiment,
arrived here to-day. He reports that on Sunday

where they remained all night.:
Yesterday morning they all started for Frederick
City, hoping to make their way to Baltimore, with
the exception of this man, who came to Gettysburg.
He states that Ewell's whole corps, of six brigades,
was at Hagerstown when he left. They number
about 12,000 men. The last brigade.left Williams
port on Friday, arriving at Hagerstown on the same
day. Orders were issued on Sunday.for the corps

Nnw Youw, June 24.—Special despatches from
Harrisburg to the Herald state that great alarm

The railroad bridge at. Scotland has again been
burned, and the telegraph destroyed for miles.
Another despatch states that the rebel force which
was at Gettysburg, has suddenly apPeared near Car

came from Frederick. City, yesterday, to requeet that
a sufficient force be sent to his place to protect the
Union citizens in gathering the grain into theiNgar

these people have been -left - defenceless—to them
selves or to the rebels. We all remember with what
obtrusive generosity and genuine hospitality they
opened wide the doors of, their churches, hotels, and
public and private buildings, to our wOunded sol

the ladies bandaged many - a ghastly wound, and
kept sleepless vigils over the cots of dying officers.
Now these people beg t for our protection ; and oh !
my countrymen, shall they plead in vain?.
Yesterday, ail P. M. the rebel pickets extended to
the second toll-gate, within thirteen miles of Frede
rick. They drove sixty head of cattle away, and
impressed into their service a man and his team,
who has since not been heard from, nor is his team
likely to be again seen. A -Union citizen had just

'are fully protected by our gunif,‘Mel if the enemy do
not soon advance upon the postiGen. Tyler will
assume the offensive, and sally out from his strong
hold, if but to disturb their repose.
From Western Maryland we have very exciting
news. At a late hour last night despatches were
received here, from Gen. Kelly, who is in command
at Cumberland. The rebels are again advancing on
that place, and when last heard from were at Great
Cacapon, a station on the Baltimore and Ohio
'Railroad, not a, great distance east of Cainberland.
This time they will not fare so well. Instead of
calico at $5 a yard, Confederate scrip, they will be
treated gratuitously to cannon balls, for Gen. Kelly
now begins to assume the offensive, and Gen.
Averin, at the head of a large cavalry and artillery'
,force{ has proceeded on an important expedition,
the result of which is expected to terrify the in
vaders of Cumberland, and make them wish them
selves safe back to the place front whence they
started.
At the military quarters I received the important
intelligence that Lee, with a large portion of his
rebel horde, had crossed the Potomac from Virginia
into Williamsport yesterday. A confirmatory de
spatch was also received from General Tyler at
Maryland Heights. This is in addition to those al
ready at Sharpsburg,' Williamsport, and Hagers
town ; so that Lee's, whole army must now be in
Western Maryland. Their designs are not yet deve
loped, Undoubtedly an extensive raid is meditated
into Pennsylvania. The subsistence they cannot
get at hoine they seek among the fertile groves of
Pennsylvania. But their designs will be frustrated,
and, with sorrow, they will be made to regret the
`step which placed their rebellious feet upon the soil
of loyal Pennsylvania, whose sturdy yeomanry,
thoroughly aroused, flock in droves to the borders
to annihilate these presumptuous and audacious
rebels. „
Major General Halleck, Commander-in-chief of
the Army of the United States, left the Camden
street depOt for Washington last evening, on a.
special train. While here he made a minute exami
nation of the defences of Baltimore. All the forti.
fications, entrenchments, and barricades, in and
around the city, were thordughly inspected, and
_great credit was given General Schenck for the cele
rity displayed in fortifying Baltimore, and the extent
and nature of the defences were highly commended.
The Union League -Convention reassembled at

ROY'S COMMAND.
Information received from headquarters warrants
me in reporting the advance of Ewell and a large
rebel force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery upon
Frederick city. Whether they design approaching
nearer than Monocacy, or merely burning the bridge
at that place, will soon be known. We have a force
at illonocacy bridge who will contest their passage
over the river, should they make the attempt. Why
does Lee uncover Richmond merely to obtain
supplies' Yet he evidently means nothing more
than a raid. Vast amounts of stores have
been accumulated at Williamsport, and it is na
.
torsi to suppose they would make supernatural
effbrts to get safely back from their foray, with their
stolen goods, which are of more value to them than
gold. F.ut, strange to relate, they are apparent- ,
ly pushing forward everyman, and are threatening
Pennsylvania and Baltimore. General Hooker's
position is one which cannot but cause great un
easiness. Every one is anxiously awaiting the de
noument of this terribly exciting game.
Company D, of the 18th Connecticut, are reported
safe. This company was supposed to have been
captured in tote, in a furious charge upon one of the
forts at Winchester. The color•bearer of the regi
ment was with them. Ile carried the colors around
his waist through all the trying scenes of that day—
and has them now. A dozen or more of their strag

COLORED TROOPS AND THE STATE DE - EWER:7
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the recent Denfo
.cratic State Convention, in session while the rebels
were threatening Harrisburg, says "Yet.at that
very hour stout negro arms were building, within
sight of the place where the Convention met, fortifi
cations for the defence of the capital, and a com
pany of colored citizens from Philadelphia, em
bracing men of character and means, were asking,
at the hands of Gen. Couch, permission to fight for
the preservation of the lives and property of these
very Copperheads. Are we not a patient, long
suffering, and indulgent people?" In justice to Gen.
Couch, it is necessary to explain that lie was simply
acting in obedience to orders. As military man,
he could not have done otherwise. The orders of
the Government are, that negroes may be accepted
for three years or the war ; but we do not learn that
any special provision has been made to muster them
in for six months or the emergency.

THE BEAUTIES 'OF - SLAVERY.—The Ken
dall Mercury (England) thus disposes of one of the
most popular defemles of slaveholding " For many
years, this dissolution of the Union has been pre
dicted, but no one ever dreamt of ascribing it to any
other cause but slavery. It mays muse Mr. Roebuck
and a Sheffield audience to say that the slaves are
Worse off in the North than in the South. But if'
Mr. Roebuck could reason—vihich it is certain he
either cannot or will not—we could fasten him to
the fact that the old .argument of the pro-
slavery people was—' Why, the slaves are
better off in the West Indies than you work
ingmen are in England.' Did workingmen
believe them' Did they- envy the condition of
men who could at any moment be seps.rated from
their wives and children forever, or stripped, in the
presence, of their wives -and children, and flogged
like beasts at the mere caprice of masters or drivers?
Did workingmen envy the systein that would select
their finest daughters for prostitution, and sell them.;
"o urlonely for that purpose, into districts far
away' N 6, no, such foolery would not answer
here. Workingmen, angry at times with bad mas
ters, may have thought it fine talk; but with bad
masters or good ones, in anger or otherwise, they
never believed it long.') '
TEE TRUE AND FALSE DEiVIOORA.OY.
We read the speeches of peace factionistvand the
'resolutions of their meetings; and while they have
no word of commendation or encOuragement for
those who are engaged in fighting the battles of this
war for the preservation of the Union, we and that
they are equally and most significantly silent in con
demnation and execration of . the rebellion and of
thote who are endeavoring to overthrow the Go
vernment. When such men propose an armistice,
'ire can we but little difference between them and
rebels in alms ;,the former would destroy the cone-

asult. The patriotic Democracy, tb which we turn
with hope and encouragement in these terrible
trials, is firmly in favor of sustaining the Govern
ment in all those measures which it deems indispen
sably necessary to secure a peace by putting down
~the rebellion, and the more. steadily and, resolutely
it adheres to this policy, the more extended will be
the scope'of its usefulness, and the more 'brilliant
the successes which it must-achieve before the

Orin DEFENCES.—Recruiting progressed
slowly Yesterday, although the six-months regiments
now forming are nearly lull. Many men have been
deterred from going from the fear that during their
absence their families may want. If a fund was
raised among the morewealthy classes, and so much
per week paid to- those who go, there would be no
difficulty whatever in raising quite a large army in
this city alone for State defence. But there seems
to be a lack of interest in the matter, and although
one or two have endeavored to bring this subject to
the notice of the public, yet it meets with no en
couragement. Those who are, blessed with wealth
do not seem disposed to give when thty at the same
time should be aware that if they do not take the
proper 'means to defend their homes, they may lose
all. A reverse to the arms of our brave soldiers on
the Potomac might precipitate the whole rebel horde
among us, and then those who before- refused to
give
their hundreds weuld be compelled to contribute
thousands for the benefit of a cruel invader. The
military spirit has:never received that fostering care
in this city which it should. True, we had a Home
Guard at owe time, but the members composing this
organization being of the poorer classes, could not
afford to bear all the expenseartecessarily incurred
in keeping up such associations, and each regiment
and company slowly disappeared. It is estimated
that six hundred thousand dollars per year would
provide all the necessaries, andpay all the expenses
attending the organization of a body of ten thou
sand. - Although such a large organization could be
kept up for this trifling sum, yet when the call of
the President and Governor was issued for men to
defend their own homes, Philadelphia-Could not
muster one thousand fully equipped, armed, and
well-drilled men. Such was really the case, and it
is a burning shame to the fair name of our city.
Our citizens should at once take hold of this matter,
and see that this important subject receives imme
diate consideration.
INAUGURATION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT
AT GIRARD COLLEGE.—The installation of Major
Richard S. Smith, president elect of Girard College,
took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A large
assemblage, consisting of the board of directors of the_
College, members of City Councils. and n -11013 ?; Of
ladies, were in attendance. - A Stand for the accom
rnodauon 'of the speakers was erected in front of
the main building, while the audience were accom
modated with chairs and settees placed behind the
columns of the building. The pupils of the institu
tion were ranged along the steps. A. find band was
in attendance, and discoursed some choice music.
The proceedings were opened shortly after 4
o'clock by Dr. G. W. Nebinger, chairman of the
committee of arrangements, who stated the object
of the gathering. He said the chair of the president
of Girard College had been declared vacant by the
resignation of its last occupant, and Major Smith
had„heen elected to fill the same.
An impressive prayer was then made by Mr.
Luther Martin, and a chapter of the Scriptures
selected from the 13th Romans was read.
Hon. Richard Vaux, president of the board of
directors, then introduced, in a few rernarksederajor
Smith, the president elect. -
Mr. Smith said. he felt proud in being called to
preside over the Exeeutive Department of this one
of our meet interesting. institutions. The speaker
paid a glowing tribute to Stephen Gigard, the
founder of the institution, and said may we not be
crowned by the placing of some bright stars in the
firmament of science and art, commerce and trades.
-His charge to the pupils of the college was plain and
impressive, and was received with loud applause.
Henry W. Arey, Esq., acting president of the col
lege, also addressed the assemblage. He said his
term would expire on the 30th of the present month,
when be would transfer the institution over,to the
hands of the newlY-elected president. During the
past six months the institution had been visited by
many cases of serious sickness and death, and this
had ei eatly added to the labors and cares of thoee in
charger The labor, while arduous, was, at the same
time, one of love. There are here so many hearts
worthy of being loved ; so many characters to be
formed ; Bo many to be nurtured for the great future.
If, during his term of service, it had been his good
fortune to have accomplished one beneficial• reform,
let it take the shape of love and obedience to the
gentleman who will hereafter rule this great insti
tution. In concluding he acknowledged his obliga
tion to the board and to the ladies and gentlemen who
had been associated with him in hie care and manage
ment of the college. ,Imparting with this trust he
hoped to transfer it unimpaired in efficiency and
diecipline. [Applause.]
Gustavus Remak, Esq., chairman of the Com
mittee of Instruction, was the last speaker. He
said, as bad been' stated, the policy of the institu
tion had been somewhat changed, in order to afford
pupils a better education than usually received.
They are to be made practical men, and devoted to
such pursuits as 'they are best adapted for. The
mental instruction in this institution is of some
what an incongruous character; but that perfection
has not yet been attained which he thought Mr.
Girard desired. Its course of studies for the lower
e classes is nearly the same as ih the public echools,
While the higher Glaetee stud , scientinc subjects, but
to a Very liMited extent. A polytechnic school
ebeeuld be engrafted upon -tile Girard system. He
argued at length to show the vent benefits accruing
.from such establishments, and eves glad to say that
Philadelphia had a Polytechnic College: This is
the only school of the kind in this country, and in it
are incorporated all the improvements of the poly
technic colleges of France and Germany, all in them
of no use having been rejected.
He did not think it desirable that the College
should be changed entirely into a polytechnic
school. The progiess of this College is such that it '
will gradually attain that end which is desired. It
is a fact that should be known, that at present 500
pupils are educated here, ate time when prices are
enhanced, and at a less cost than when the institu
tion contained only 300. This was progress, and
othoz , reformS would be accomplished.
Why should not this institution send forth those
Who would go forth _an_ honor to the nation, and
1 -
Upon the conduaion of Mr. Remak's remarks the
audience slowly retired,- as the - band struck up a
favorite air. •
The pupils of the institution also went through a
series of military markcetvres, which elicited great
aPplauee.
THE PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL.—The
annual report of this institution has just been
issued, from which we-learn that during the past
year, ending May, 1863, no epidemic or contagious
disease - has prevailed within the hospital, and the
general health of its inmates has been good. In re
gard to the Soldiers, the expense incurred for their
treatment was $2,600. The whole 'number treated
was 124, and the deaths occurring among there:
amounted to 23.
Of the sick and surgical cases treated in the city
establishment there• were, at the last report, 173;
admitted, since that time, including the soldiers al
ready referred to, 1,610. Of this number there were
surgical cases, 1,102, and 681 medical cases, making
a total of 1,783 treated in the wards of the hospital
during the year. Of these, 652 were pay, and 1,131
were free Or poor patients. The whole numner of
patients treated at the city establishment since its
organization is 71,830.
The whole cost of erecting and furnishing the new
insane department amounts to the large sum of
$355 2 907.57, which has been provided for bY actual
receipts and reliable obligations.
There have been under care in the department for
the insane during the past year 455 patients, of
whom 234 were males and 221 females. Of these, 371
were pay, and 84 were received and treated without
charge;of any kind. The total number admitted
since the department was removed to its present lo
cation (in 1841) is 4,000.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF COLORED
MEN.—Last evening Franklin Hall * was filled to
overflowing with colored and white folks. Among
both races were men of wealth, cheering and assist
ing in stimulating the enlistments of colored men.
Mr. David E. Gipson, a colored man, was called
to the chair. The front seats were reserved for
Company A Captain Babe, the first to respond to
the call of-the Governor of Pennsylvania.
Enthusiastic addresses were delivered by the Rev.
J. Walker Jackson, Hon. Wm. D. Kelley, Mr. Wm.
S. Pierce Major Stearns, of the U. S. army, and
Captain Babe, and others. _The_remarickaf_tha...
gentlemen - awarcerted - nne greatestenthusfaam." The
crowded state of our columns preclude the possibili
ty of "even a synopsis of their patriotic remarks.
The colored men say, give us the arms, and we'll
show what we can do." The following preamble
and resolutions were adopted amid the greatest en-
Melva& reason of a gigantic and wicked rebel
lion now raging in our beloved country; all its citizens.
irrespective of color; - class, or condition, are called
upon -to rally as one man for the maintenance of the
Government and the support of free institutions; be it,
therefore, -
Resolved, That we, the colored people' of Philadelphia,
throwing aside the unpleasant memories of the past,
locking only at the future,,and asking mere y the same
- guarantees, the same open field, and (air play that ate
given our white fellow-couutrymen, desire here and
now to express our-willingness and readiness to come
forward to the defence of our imperilled country.-
Rebolved, That while we feel thus ready to sacrifice
our all on the altar of our country, we call upon colored
men everywhere in the free States, as they prize the
most - sacred rights guarantied by the Constitution of
these Mates and the Declaration of" American Independ.
cue°, to welcome this opportunity to strike not 'less for
the freedom of themselves and their lace than for the
-liberty of the human race, and the rescuing of the coun
try from the strong hands of violence and traitors; and
we nrge them.by every consideration knows to honora
ble men, to rally for the preservation of “Liberty and
Unioia, now and forever, one and inseparable."
./it:olred,- That, wicked, terrible, abominable as is
this rebellion, we yet recognize in it the hand of a Di
vine Providence, by which we; though despised, bated.
scourged. calumniated by the people or these States,
may show them and the world how unjust has been the
estimate of our character, and that ire are not wanting
in ally element 01 a vigorous manhood, least of all in a
puze and lofty patriotism.
That, as an earnest of our - good faith in
.these professions. we point the country to the t sagely
- five thousai d colored Americans now marshalled in the
armies of the Union; to- the Spartan valor of the bravo
sons of Louisiana at Port Hudson; to the fact that. in
the second itvasion of Pennsylvania, the colored com
pany of ninety nieu, raised in six hours, was the first to
move from the city for the defence of our State capital;
and that three full companies, of eighty inen..esch, YO-
Itinte,.red ferthe rams purpose, in less-than twenty-fonr
-
Ey order of the Secretary of War a camp will be
established at Chelton Mil, near Philadelphia, for
. in. .
the United States colored troops recruiting Etat
. ern Pennsylvania. This camp will be known as
Camp Wm. Penn, and will be under the control of

THE MONEY MARKET.
PAIL SDELPHI3 . - June 2:1, 1883
Less than one week no* remains for subscribing to
the national five-twenty loan. We desire to keep - this
matter before the public until the first of July. The
loan thus far has been very successful, and the agency
system of distributing it found to be the . most popular
as well as useful that could be devised. If every princi
pal city his its agency where the citizens or neighboring
farmers can go and talk the matter over, it will be seen
at once that the national loan comes home to them
when, if New York or Philadelphia had been the only
office, they would ne.er have troubled themselves
about it. The interest commences either from the date
of subscription or from the first of May, at the option of
the party taking it. To-day the subscription took an
upward turn, and a million and a quarter was con
verted, a large portion coming from the Border States.
Gold was quiet to , day. and without any change, ruling
steady at 140%. Government sixes 1881 are strong a

New certificates 95%; the old at 101%. Money in plena
fill supply at 4, 5@6 per cent.. --
Operations at the Stock Exchange were of a limited
nature to-day.. with very little change in prices. The
public are very backward about speculating lust now,
when such momentous war movements are afoot, as the
result of them 'will materially affect prices. Should we
fail is this campaign, of course the war will be:prolonged,
and, unless new loans are placed before the public, fur
ther issues of currency must ensue. However, as the
wants of the country can absorb more paper than is noir
afloat, prises may not be stimulated very greatly. 1881

The business of the Sitchan ge, this morning, exhibits
a considerable amount of animation. The low price of
some of the best stocks is evidently inducing the public
to buy, and we learn that a considerable number of or

during the last two days. Governments are firm; rail
roads bonds strong; border State bonds steady; bank
stochs.setive., and railroad shares advancing.

ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE PHI
LADELPHIA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE FOR YOHNOF
LADIES, 1530 Arch street, .Philadelphia.—Rey..
Charles A. Smith, D. D., principal.—The character
of this seminary is now quite well known through
out the city and the State. It was the purpose of
the reverend gentleman, in founding it, some nine.
years ago, to establish an institute for the educa
tion of young ladies, which should rank, in all re
spects, with the first seminaries of the country, but
particularly in regard to the thoroughness and com
prehensiveness of its graduating course. Such an
institution seemed to be especially needed in Phila
delphia ; for, whilst our admirable free schools, as
well as many of the select achools of the city, pro
vide a range of study sufficiently thorough and ex
tensive for the ordinary purposes of education,
there seemed to be few, if any, which offered advan
tages to those desiring for their daughters the more
thorough discipline and advanced culture which a
full collegiate course would secure—a course em
bracing, besides the modern languages and the com
mon English and ornamental branches, Latin, the
higher mathematics, and a full course of metaphysi
cal and philosophical study. This seminary fully
meets this acknowledged want ; for it is the dis
tinctive feature of this institution, that, although
pupils are received, as in other schools,_who may;
if. they 'please, confine their attention to the ordi

Last Thursday evening, the anniversary soirse
of the institute was held. The class in vocal music,
under the direction of. Signor Perelli, contributed
greatly -to to the pleasure of the entertainment, re
flecting great credit upon themselves and their
well-known instructor: Whilst all the pieces
were well executed, some were rendered with
unusual propriety and effect. The scholars
in instrumental music also showed a very Me*"
- ncisiever, the
moat striking part of the entertainment was the
reading, by pupils of the school, of poetical seleo
tiods. These recitations evidenced an accurate ap
preciation of the characters and sentiments of the
several pieces, and were marked by singular pre
priety of accent, a pleasing diatinetness of enuncia
tion, and by peculiar naturalness of tone and em
phasis. Certain portions' were rendered with un
usual power. The remarkable proficiency of the
readers in this important but difficult and very
greatly neglected art, was very gratifying to the
patrons of the institution, and bore striking testi
mony to the skill and success of the instructor in
this department. -
At the close of the exercises,. a beautifully-printed
sheet was distributed, entitled " School Voices,"
and containing original essays and translations by
pupils of the seminary. These essays, quite varied
in their style and range of topics, are highly credita
ble to their authors. Many "of them, besides ex
hibiting untsual beauty.of diction and force of ex
pression, discover a maturity of, mind,' and a logical
grasp and comprehensiveness of thought, which
can only proceed from a very thorough training and
discipline.

" SATE TIM USTION.”—
Sons of Columbia, your country now calls you ; •
Arise in your manhood, prepare for the fight ;
Repel the bold traitors, theirfalse pride and treason,
And teach them that dare to do right.
Go back to the days of the dark Revolution,
When eon and when sire to battle did go;
With garments all tattered and feet bare and bleed
ing,
Their footprints were left in the cold winter snow.
Like true sons of freedom now rush-to the rescue . ;
Like sons of one sire be ye firm to your trust ;
Stand up for the 'Union, be true to your country,
Nor let her proud banners be trailed lathe dust.
Officers' uniforms, ready:made, at Chas. Stokes Sr.

WE WERE among these Who believed that
Sewing Machines had attained their highest degree
of utility and perfection. But we were destined to
disappointment, at least ao far as relates, to the
class of machines rnaking the Shuttle, or so-called
"Lock-Stitch." It appeara that the grover & Ba
ker S. EL Co., not content with having brought to a
point of perfection not yet approached by any other,
their celebrated machines, making the well-known
Grover t Baker stitch, - have entered the domain of
their competitors with a series of machines making
the shuttle stitch, or stitch alike on both Bides,
which, for simplicity, beauty of design and perfect
mechanism must take the palm over every other
machine of this class. One other great advantage
is gained, for ladies can now examine and teat, side
by side, the bestmachine making the rival stitchei.
The prices of these new machines are the same as
those making the celebrated Grover & Baker stitch.
THE REBELS INTAVING THE WEST. —The

Western Pennsylvania. They are reported to . be

not get back again with whole bones, and &mesh
will find it an up-hill husinesstoinvade the old Key

the Union army, with elegant, durable and comforts.

MAx * nrs.--Their value depends on four
things—their intrinsic excellence, or the compare
tive correctness of the principle they embody ; the
subject to which they relate °; the extent of their ap
, plleation ; and the comparative, ease -with which
they may be applied in practise. We have made it
a maxim to advise all men to buy their clothing of
Granville Stokes, the fashionable clothier, No. 609
Chestnut street, and thus save at least 25 per cent.
in their purchase.
