At this writing it., is not known whether the town

Knipe reports them advancing 'about 10,000 strong.
The drinking•houses were all closed this morninff,
in obedience to the hiayorls proclamation. Many

THE EXCITEMENT IN HARRISBURG.
Long before the sun rose in splendor this morning,
a scene of bustle, excitement, and confusion Com
menced, such as has never before been witnessed in
the capital of Pennsylvania: During the night,
troops were hurried over the river. Regiment fol
lowed regiment until this morning, when our streets
were comparatively cleared of soldiers, except those
which reached the city by the regular morning and
noon trains. But the excitement, apart from the
movement of trobps, was that which attend
ed the ingress and egress of people who came
from tke Cumberland side of the river, and who
passed through the city, hurrying to a place of
safety with all that was dear and valuable to them.
Every machine on wheels capable of hauling a load,'
was brought into ...requisition. These came wheel
ing and trundling along, each laden to the top—
some with grain, household effects, and household
goods, others with store goods, machinery, tools.
end, in fact, all that was valuable and movable.
Following these came other vehicles, filled with
women and children—then came men and boys
mounted on horses, driving before them cows
and sheep. The scene was at once ex
citing and pitiful. It came to us as the
first hot breath of war. It admonished us that the
foe was indeed approaching, and as the carnival
moved through our streets its magnitude and num
bers were increased by accessions of goods and indi
viduals from Harrisburg, who moved off with the
train, intent also on flight and safety. From all ac
counts that we can gather, we learn that the farmers
in the Cumberland Valley, have resolved to leave
no thing valuable for the invader to seize. As the
enemy extends his raid into this State he will find
that his march is only to meet danger; and when he
turns to retrace his steps over a territory he has
desolated, he-may also find that his path has been
covered by an obstacle he did not calculate to meet.

Tbe,Public Safety Committee of Pitteburg, in a
recent report, remark :
“In our next report we will hand you a diet of
names of all those who have defied your recommen
dation and have outraged public opinion by persist
ing to make money at the expense of their patriotic
neighbors. Your committee suggests that an appeal
be made to the ladies and others not to patronize
those parties who have manifested so much selfish
nese and illiberality during our present crisis,”
- t Of the defences of Pittsburg the Daily —Post of
ThersdaysaYs
"The fortifications enclosing the city' on all eiders
are nearly. completed, - and every daYthere are nearly_
ten thousand men engaged in pushing therMto com
pletion. The labor already done has placed our eiry
in such a position that we do not believe that the
combined forces of the South could take it. They
would have to fight through miles of entrenchments,
forts and rifle-pits, placed in such a position as to
command every approach. The streets are filled
with men from morning until night, drilling and
preparing themselves for any emergency..
THE STATE DEFENCE.—We have had two
years of warning , ; have been threatened with raids
almost constantly since the outbreak of the rebel
lion, yet upon the first appearance of danger, in
stead of relying upon an organized force of State
troops, our Governor is forced to appeal to the au
thoritiee of other States for protection. It is idle,
however, to bewail the ahortcomings of the past;
the present and the future should be provided for,
by every exertion in our power,
and we submit that
the recriminations indulged in by certain gentlemen
of high position at Harrisburg—empty denunciations
of the national authorities—are not at all calcu
lated to aid in meeting the present danger. It is one
of the most inexplicable features of military alfairs
in this
State, that every call for troops is certain to
be followed by a dispute about term of service, and
while New York and New Terse.; are pouring in
their troops for the defence of our State capital, our
own militia set their faces homeward, because the
term of service cannot be definitely fixed, or does
not suit their convenience. We trust that a better
system will be inaugurated as the fruit-of the pre,
sent emergency .—Pittsburg Dispatch.
FREDERICK CITY. •
FREDIMICR, Thursday, June 25, 9 A. llT.—That
the rebels are on this side of the Potomac in strong
force is now an established fact. The mystery which
for the past' two weeks has enshrouded the move
ments of the rebel army in the Shenandoah valley
is at last dispelled, and Lee's real intentions are un
masked. There is no doubt that morQthan one-half
Of Lee's army is now on Maryland soil, and ad
vancing in three columns into Pennsylvania. Each
advancing column is followed by, immense wagon
trains, most of which are empty. General Ewell
conimands in person the centre advancing column.
He is unable to walk without crutches. He leads
his command in a carriage.
Extra Billy Sriaith, reported in the Richmond
papers as being killed at Winchester, is in command
of a brigade in. Ewell's corps. He was seen, in tull
feather, in Hagerstown yesterday.
The wagon train which accompanied the centre
column numbered several hundred wagons, the ma
jority of which were marked U. S., with the names-
of the divisions or brigades from which they were
captured.
The rebel division which crossed at Hancock, and
is now operating in the vicinity of Mercersburg, is
commanded by Bradley T.' Johnson, the renegade
arylan der.
WThe rebels crossed the river at four points, viz:
illiamsport, Hancock, Shepherdstown, and Antie
tam Ford. The entire rebel force in Maryland yes
terday morning was estimated at 35,000 men—in
fantry, cavalry, and artillery.
Notwithstanding Gen. Ewell's orders command
ing his troops to respect the property of all Mary-,
landers, foraging parties are scouring the country in
every direction, seizing all the horses and cattle they
can lay bands on. Several thousand head of cattle
and a large number of horses have been gobbled up
by the rebels in Washington county alone. The
neighboring counties are suffering in like manner.
Most of the cattle have been driven across the river
into Virginia, to feed• that portion of Lee's army
which still remains on the other side.
FREDERICK, Thursday, June 25,11 A. M.—Several
Union men Just arrived from Hagerstown, • via
Boonaboro, say that another rebel force of ten
`thousand men arrived there yesterday afternoon
from Williamsport. Gen. Ewell commands, in per
eon, the centre advancing column. Ms believed in
Hagerstown that Lee's whole army is crossing at
Shepherdstown and Williamsport. The force
which arrived at Hagerstown yesterday afternoon,
was infantry and artillery, of which there were
thirty pieces.
There were several thousand men at Boonsboro
last night. Five miles out of Frederick they met
several of the enemy's cavalry scouts.
Most of the prominent Union people have left
Frederick, and others irre leaving.
NEW YORX, June 26.—The steamship Creole,
from New Orleans on the 19th, arrived here this
evening. The papers contain no news from Port
Hudson.
The Bank of Louisiana and the Louisiana State
Bank have been required to go into liquidation,
under three commissioners each. Their' condition
is said to be satisfactory.
The receipts of sugar from the interior have been
partly' suspended, owing to the heavy duties im
posed..
A large mass meeting of the Union citizens of New
Orleans was held on the evening of the 18th.
The steamers George Cromwell, Key West, Pa
tapsco, and Suffolk had arrived from New York.
Three weeks ago, Gen. Rosecrans was about issu
ing his final orders for the general advance upon the
enemy, when he resolved to ascertain the opinions
of his commanders of corps and divisions upon the
various strategic questions involved in it. He ad
dressed a circular to them, containing a series of in
terogatOrles,rhe exact nature of which it would be
unwise to state at thisjuncture. The substance of
the answers of the seventeen officers addressed was
unanimous opposition to offensive movements at
this time and with the present means of operation.
Their objections were based upon various grounds,
but all arrived at about the same general conclusion,
viz : that the risk to be encountered,outweighed the
beneficial results likely to be achieved.
In the fate of the general want of confidence of
success on the part of his lieutenants, Gen. Rose
crane, I understand, felt himself in duty hound to
postpone the execution of his plans until he had
inspired confidence by collecting adclitipnal offensive
strength. It will be hard to blame him for this con
clusion.—Cor. Tribune.

FATION.—The Richmond Enquirer, the recognized
organ of the Jeff Davis Government, in its issues
of Friday and Saturday, devotes its leading articles
to Mr. Spence, the Liverpool agent of. the Confede
rate States, whom it berates soundly for his intima
tion that, under some circumstances, the South
might be willing to adopt a,plan of gradual emend
potion. The Enquirer denounces and spits upon all
such methods of recommending the - South to the
favor of foreign Powers, and abuses without stint
Mr. Spence and all other preachers of Such doctrines.
It calls vehemently for the removal"of Spence, and
wants ..to. know why Mr : Mason has not dismissed
him at once without waiting for orders from home.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG,
Despatches from Grant—A Brisk Engage
ment on the 19th—The• Feud Between
,Pemberton and Bowen—The Battle at
Richmond.
(Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette-]
Canto, June 24.—Captain Ed. Osband, of Chicago,
arrived last night on the steamer Belle Memphis as
special bearer of despatches from General Grant to
the War Department at Washington. He left the
rear of - Vicksburg on the afternoon of Friday, the
19th inst. At that time a brisk engagement seem
-ingly occupied all the rebel and Union forces, going
on around the entire line surrounding the city. Of
course the result is unknown.
This information is confirmed by passengers upon
the steamer Hope, which arrived this morning from
Memphis on the 21st. When your correspondent's
letter of the 18th was written, the rebels were not
working more than six heavy guns and, 13-inch
mortars. The digging for mining the enemy's works
was not as extensive as heretofore. It is supposed,
however, that the location of such operations was
carefully chosen. Sherman, on the right; was gradu
ally reducing the enemy's fort opposite, and silencing
gun after gun of their batteries. It was supposed
that Sherman was- nearer ready to enter the rebel
works than the other generals, though closely con
tested Jiy Blair, Logan, and McPherson. Some of
Sherman 's approaches are so close that the distance
could be made with spades in a short time. Our
troops are all anxious for a demonstration. Gene
ral Logan, with his forces'opposite what was called
Fort Hill, was fast beating down the earthworks,
and rendering them useless as a protection. to the
Confederate artillery.
On the 17th the enemy expended five hundred
pounds of powder and over 2,600 pounds of iron, in
the shape of shells and shot, upon Logan's force
alone.
- The rebel hospitals are largely on the increase.
Hardly a day has passed that a few red flags are not
observed flying over houses -in the city. This was
particularly observed from Gen. Rill's position. It
is thought these may have been a ruse to keep-our
gunners from firing upon the city. A red flag was
even seen flying from one of their forts from AD • em
brasure, of which — a heavy gun was dealing out
,death to the Union soldiers.
The lath Illinois Regiment, on the 17th, captured
fourteen rebel prisoners, who were trying to make
their way through our lines. All censure Pember
ton heavily, as do all the prisoners taken lately.
They say the feud now existing between the General
in command and General Bowen , is daily growing
mote bitter.
On the morning of the tath the Confederate colors,

INCIDENTS OF THE SIEGE
The Indianapolis .Tounlal tells the following
Peter Apple, of Oakland. in this county, was late-,
ly recruited for the 11th Indiana, and took part in
the attempt to storm one of the Vicksburg batteries.
The rebel tire was so destructive that our army re
coiled. Apple, Br "raw recruit," "didn't see" the
backward movonfent, and kept going ahead until he
came right up to one of the rebel guns, caught the
gunner by the collar, and brought him within our
lines, saying: "Boys, why didn't you come on?
Every fellow might have got one." <•

PORT HODSON,
Correspondence of the Boston Journal, from the
rear of Port Hudson, .Tune 9, reports the progress of
the siege. Over a hundred pieces of ordnance,
heavy siege guns and light field-pieces, are in easy
position to annoy the foe. Fifty prisoners have
come in daily, mainly escaped deserters, who report
great destitution, and suffering in the garrison. A
curious coincidence is mentioned of the campaign
There is a curious coincidence connected with this
campaign. Port Hudson is defended by Maj. Gen.
Flank Gardner, of the Confederate. States army.
Be was formerly a captain in the 10th United States
Infantry, which he deserted to join the rebel army.
Among his comrades and messmates in the old 10th
Regiment—like him, captains in the line—were
Generals Grover, udley, and Gooding. These
latter named are commanding in the bale ignoring
army. Perhaps when these three gallant Union
commanders meet their old comrade inside the walls
of Port Hudson, some old recollections will be re
vived. But Gardner holds the ground tenaciously,
and evidently don't want to see them. At the time
of the Secession mania, open - disloyalty was talked
among many of the officers then in the army. Capt.
Dudley brought charges against nine officers of his
regiment. Seven of them are now in the Confede
rate service. -'
Brigadier General Stone, who has been ordered
to report to General Banks, has arrived here with
his staff, but has not yet been assigned to active
duty. He will probably relieve General . Dwight in
"command of the left wing.
While General Banks and' staff were making a
reconnoissance on the left of our army, last Mon
day, Lieutenant Oolonel Wm. S. Albert; chief 'of
cavalry, was kicked bye horse, the blow breaking
hialeft leg. The accident was not a dangerous one.
Major Plunkett, of the 49th, is a tall specimen of
soldiet. He stands six feet five' inches in his
stockings. He led his regiment oa to the enemy's
,works .after. Bartlett and Sumner fell wounded,
and was a conspicuous mark for the enemy's
fire,
but escaped without a bruise.

I have always lived a Democrat according to the
shiclest faith. I know of no better democracy than
mine.
But at the present time new.principlee, new mea
sures, and new thoughts of the future must occupy
our minds, rather than the buried issues of the past.
The two years just gone by have taught us great
truths as a nation. We have learned more in this
time than nations of old acquired in a century. To
day, with the enemy thundering at the gates of the
capital, the question arises, .what` can be done" to
preserve the integrity of the Unionl To rescue the
nation is the great duty of all patriots. To drithis,
we must unite with loyal men everywhere. The
negro question must not trouble us; it is a dead
issue of the past. No one need trouble themselves,
about that. And now about thehabeas corpus. Ac
cording to the Constitution it could be suspended
only when the safety of the country demands it.
That is and ever shall be my motto.
My Demacralicfriends! my peculiarly excellent Demo
cratic friends ! A man high in office once thought of
suspending the habeas corpus. Would, you like to
know the circumstances? It was the occasion of
the conspiracy of Aaron Burr, and the actor was.
Thomas Jefferson. Once it was really snspended at
New Orleans, and by whom? General Andrew Jack
son. We have a rebellion on one side, and an inva
sion by. Lee on the other, and if the Constitution
ever justifies the suspension of this writ, it would
do so under , our - present circumstances. When the
war is over, I will go as far to protect those privi
leges as any Democrats who now stay at home and
mock me. My Democratic friends,l repeat it---put
down this rebellion, and you won't hear anything
about the suspension of the habeas corpus.,
We hear a great deal from the Democrats about
settling up this matter. I ask the question, ahallive
compromise to-day? Shall Breckinridge, with hands
imbued with the blood of. your brothers, come back
and take his seat in the Senate of the United State's?
Shall Wigfall come back and take hia place in the
halls of National. Legislation? I agree with my
friends, they shall not and in closing fta'n only say
that there is one duty for us all in this hour of na
tional peril; it is to sustain the Government of the
United States. When peace and a re-united nation
comes again, then we can settle all our minor differ
ences.—Speech at Concord.

TUE NAVY.
The Capture of the Atlanta—A Compliment
to Captain Rodgers. '
NAVY DEPARTIfENT, June 25, 1863.
Slu: Your despatch of the 17th instant, an
nouncing the capture of the rebel Iron-clad steamer
Fingal, alias Atlanta., has been received. Although
gallantly' sustained by Commander John Downes,
of the Nahant, the victory, owing to the brevity of
the contest, was yours, and it gives me unaffected
pleasure to congratulate you upon the result.
Every contest In which the iron-clads have been
engaed against iron-clads has been instructive, and
affords food for reflection. The lessons to be drawn
are momentous.
On the Bth of March, 1862, there were lying at
anchor in Hampton Roads the first-class steam-fri
gates Roanoke and Minnesota, the sailing frigates
C , Ongresit and St. Lawrence, the razes Cumberland
and several gunboats, in the presence of this formi
dable force, representing the highest eftbnsive power
of the wooden navy, boldly appeared the rebel iron
clad steamer Merrimac,- and notwithstanding the
broadsides poured into her by and the heroic defence
of the Congress -and and the Cumberland, these two
wooden vessels were easily destroyed, and the fate of
the.others. was only reserved for the morrow. During
the night, however, the Monitor, the first vessel of her
class, arrived, and on the 9th 'Ranh, when the morn
ing mists lifted and showed the Merrimac and her
wooden consorts approaching to complete the work
Of destruction, our defence consisted, not in the
great ships that were still afloat and their numerous
heavy guns, but in a single small iron-clad vessel,
armed with two guns. History has recorded the
,courage and shill of Commander John L. Worden,
who, disappearing in the smoke of the advancing
fleet, dispersed and put to flight their wooden
steamers, turned at bay the Merrimac, grappled with
thatiormidable monster, and drove her back into
Norfolk, and kept her there until the evacuation of
that place led the rebels to destroy their famous iron
clad rather than encounter and risk her capture by
her puny antagonist.
The lessons of that contest taught us the inade-
Auficy of wooden vessels and our-existing ordnance
to meet armored ships. For inland operations the
Monitor turret was immediately adopted, and the
fifteen-inch gun of Rodman, being the only gun of
greater weight -than the eleven-inch yet tested, was
ordered to be placed in the turret of the vessels that
Were constructing. The result of this policy is de
veloped in the action through which you have just
passed. In fifteen minutes, and with five shots, you
overpowered and captured a formidable steamer, but
slightly inferior to the Merrimac—a vessel that the
preceding year had battled, with not very serious
injury to herself, against four frigates, a razee, and
for a time with one Monitor armed with eleven-inch
guns, thus demonstrating the offensive power of the'
new and improved Monitors, armed with guns of
fifteen-inch calibre.
Your early connection with the Mississippi flotil
la, And your participation in the projection and con
struction of the first iron-clada on the Western
waters ; your heroic conduct bathe attack on Drury's
Bluff; the high moral courage that led you to put to
sea in the Weehawken upon the approach of a vio
lent storm, in order to teat the sea-going qualities of
these new craft, at the time when a safe anchorage
was close under your lee ; the brave and daring man
ner in which you,, with four associates, pressed
the iron-clads under the concentrated fire of the
batteries in Charleston harbor, and there tested
and proved the endurance and resisting power of
these vessels, and your crowning successful achieve
ment in the capture of the Fingal, alias Atlanta, are
all proofs of a skill and courage and devotion to the
country and the cause of the Union, regardless of
self, that cannot be permitted to pass unrewarded.
To your heroic daring and persistent moral courage,
beyond that of any other individual, isthe -country
indebted for the development, under trying and va-_
ried circumstances on the ocean, under fire from
enormous batteries on
land, and in successful en
counter with a formidable floating antagonist of the
capabilities and qualities of-attack and resistance of
the monitor.class of vessels and their heavy arma
ment. For these heroic and serviceable acts I have
presented your nem., to the President, requesting
him to recommend test Congress give you a vote of
thanks in order that you may be advanced to the
grade of commodore in the American Navy. Very
respectfully, Sm., GIDEON WELLES,
Secretary of the Navy.

THE REBEL MITES.
TUE PIRACIES OFF GLOUCESTER, MASS,
Writing on Thursday from Gloucester, a cone--
spondentof the Boston Traveler says ;
As regards the destruction-of Gloucester vessels,
I have gleaned these facts: Four are thus far
known to be destroyed—The Marengo, 83 tons, and
10 years old—value, including outfits, $2,900; Rufus
Choate, SO tons, 3 years old—value, $4,300 ;
heth"Ann, 91 tons, 3% years old—value, -$4,200;
Ripple,'64:.tons,7 years old—s2,Boo. These crafts
are all insured in this town, at what is called the
Fishing Insurance Co., a mutual office, with which
most - of the ship-owners are connected. None of
these vessels, and indeed none in any of the - fishing
fleets, are; covered by war risks, and so every one
burned is a total loss. Three schooners arrived
here yesterday—the Cadet, Laurena, and Messina—
the two former being chased away by the Tasman
which they saw destroying the vessels around them.
Cdptain Williams, of the Cadet; says the moment
he saw the Tacony his suspicions were 'aroused by
her peculiar actions, and he ordered Ids men to tow
the Cadet, as there was not a breath of air ,stirring.
Fortunately for him, there were several vessels be
tween him and the. pirate, who directed his alien
tion to them.
As night approached a thick fog sprung up,and he
succeeded in escaping, but could, in the distance, see
the lightot the burning vessels. The Messina, which
arrived in the afternoon, was not aware of the vici
nage cif the Tacony, but • was homeward bound.
However, her captain mentions seeing a Federal
gunboat, name unknown, about thirty-five miles
south of Cape Cod, which is close to, the fishing
ground. Probably the gunboat had heard of the
whereabouts of the pirate, and was there on the
lookout for him.
It is feared here that the:'Tacony will direct its
course td the Georges,where there are some sixty or
more sail, and where they also keep close together.
If this prove to be the case, there will be terrible
havoc among these defenceless fishermen.

THE PIRATE TACONY AMONG- THE FISHER-
Captain Thoinas,- of the schooner Elizabeth Ann,
gives the follow,ing account- of the capture of his
vessel, and othqr*:
"-His,vessel, with others, was lying at anchor on
Sunday evening, in about twenty.seven fathoms of
water, on the`'Fishing Rip,' easterly from the island
of 'Nantucket. ,The evening was foggy, and the Ta
cony appeared very suddenly to them during a lift
in the : Tog. A:boat- crew boarded them, and the
leader stated, on reaching theirdeck• and presenting
a pistol to the captain's face, that the schooner was
a prize to the Confederate States. The other cap
tures were effected in inuoh the same manner.
".1111 the vessels' thns taken, with one exception,
were burned almostsimmedietely, and in many cases the
men saved nothing more than what they had on
their backs, though generally each seaman was al
lowed to take his bag of clothing, and some of the
officers. Were ..privileged to retain their quadrants
and other nautical instruments.
".The vessel Which was not destroyed was tbillold
est and poorest of the number. On board her the
- whole company was put, with directions to steer for
New York. They preferred, however, to land at
Hyannis, and did so, and have arriveit here from
that point, on their way to their families and friends
in Gloucester.” .
• There is a renegade Yankee among the Tacony's
crew, and the Boston Journal says :
"We are , informed by. Captain Thomas that he
heard the distinct intention announced of landitm et
Provineelown anti destroying that 'town (wire, and as
the first officer of the Tacony was a native, and for
niany :years a resident of Chatham, and is perfectly
familiar with.the waters about Cape Cod, the at.
tempteertainly does not seem impossible."
Here is another interesting item from the Journal:-
" The commander of the Tacony informednne of
the captains in: bis' custody that his vessel had once
been spcken'in the:Night by a United States gunboat; and
that he knew at the time who was hailing him. Ms
answer to the hail was, that he WaB,ll. merchantman
bound'from New'York to POrtland."
An old Cape Ann fisherman writes E.
"Probably commanded or piloted by some traitor
Yankee, or a Novi Scotiaman, the Tawny, is
bound, along the_ coast over the fishing, grounds,
from Block Island,to Labrador. Her victims pro.
vide the stores,' and.their 'futures' will produce a
good run of prize money in Halifax or St. John's.
Would not the bank 02 the Bay of Fundy be the
most promising direction to catch heat
"If the right craft, lightly armed, could be placed
at the disposal of our Cape Cod, Marblehead and
Cape; Ann- men, I would insure that , they would
finish her cruise within a month."

THE PHUtTE DESCRIBED
- - - -
The Boston Traveller learns from Captain Perrrr
of the brig Thepire, whose 'vessel was burned by thw
Tacony, that she is far from being a formidable very
sel. On the water she wears about four hundred'
tone although her register Is less. Outside she is
black; her copper when on an even keel is below
the line of flotation, and Will form an excellent mark
to know her by. There is a gap in her cutwater be
low the bobstays, which may be seen two miles dis
tant with a glass. She is a fuli•rigged bark, has
three jibs and ir foretopmast staysail, maintopmast
staysail, and'inizentopmast staysail. She also car
ries two royals, and allthe other sails peculiar to a
bark.
She has a poop extending to 'the' main hatchway
a house around the for em est, and'an open topgallant f orecastle. Ifer waist is qzlitedeep;.and she is only
a single-decked vessel: There is m Petting around
the outline of the poop; -she has only one quarter
boat, and the lon'g-hoat iantowerl amillehips, bottom
up. These details wilf 'enable any seaman to recog
nize her easily.
She is armed with -a' tingle - brass twelte-pounder,
smooth-bore gun, and is manned by twenty British
seamen and two - rebel offiders. Her entire arma
ment, the twelve-pounder aforesaid, is mounted on
the,poop, as the' most 'conspicifouil place, to act as
a scarecrow.
The captains of 'the flabermen give the rollowing
additional description'of the TaconT: She is paint
ed black; copper-bottomed, the copper appearing
above water; there' hi a white moulding on her
stern, and an eagle, and American flag helocethe

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES
AT THEE - GUILDHALL
[From the London Daily News, ,Tune 12th.]
Foremost came the. Prince and Princess, the for
mer wearing his uniform of field marshal, with the
ribbon and star of the garter. The latter wore .a
rich, but simple white dress, with the coronet and
brooch of diamonds given her by her royal husband,
but with the superb citynecklace of brilliants. Her
hair was turned back from her forehead, in the style
with which her portraits have made us all familiar,
setting off her fair young features and fine ex
pressive intellectual forehead to the utmost advan
tage. She looked, if possible, eveq.younger than
on her marriage day—quite girlish, in fact, in
her simple white attire. With them came Prince Al
fred, in his lieutenant's uniform, his face looking
bronzed and almost weather-beaten, in contrast with
the fair complexion of his brother, or the still-more
delicate bloom of his young sisteriu.law. With the
royal party came the Duchess of Cambridge, the
Duke of Cambridge, Princess Mary of Cambridge,
Prince of Reuss Schleiz, Prince of Orange, and the
Princeis of Servia. At once upon their alighting
the Lord Mayor and Lord Mayoress advanced to re
ceive them, and the Princess of Wales, taking the
arm of the Lord Mayor, whi e 'the Prince gave his
to the Lady Mayoress, the party,'headed by the en.
tertainment committee, entered the hall. , The band
played the national anthem as they entered, but
beyond this there was no manifestation; and nothing
but the prolonged deep reverences from all sides as
they passed marked the presence of the Prince and
his young bride. Arrived at the dais there was a
moment's pause, and the Princess' seated herself in
the chair of state which was meant for the Prince,
as orithat side of the throne his Royal Highness was
to take up his freedom of the city. The Lord Mayor
stooped forward and informed her Royal Highness
of the mistake, when she instantly changed from the
Prince's scat into her own, and was so little able to
restrain her smiles at the mistake that none else
around her could help smiting also. -
A plain office table stood at the foot of the throne,
and here a court of common council was constituted.
Then began the ceremony of ' , the Prince taking up
the fleetlom."
The court, faking no manner of conisance of the
presence of ro3, ally, began, in that lordly assembly
and splencid hall, to read the minutes of the pre
vious court, which were duly confirmed by a show of
spotless kid-glove hands. The clerk of the chamber
read the official record of his Royal Highness' title to
the freedom, which was in these terms :
"Chamber of London, Bth day of June, 1863.
Dorn without the liberty of the city, to wit- at
Buckingham Palace, in the county of Middlesex.
9th of November,lB4l. His Royal Highness Albert.
Edward, Prince Wales, K. G., &c., son of his late
Royal Highness Francis Augustus Charles Emma
neul, Prince Consort, Duke of Saxony, Prince of
Saxe Coburg Gotha, &c., a citizen of London, came
before the Chamberlain the day and year aforesaid,
and desired to be admitted into the freedom of this
city by patrimony, because he is legitimate and was
born after the admission of his father into the said
freedom. The admission of the father is entered in
the book marked with the letter H, and bears date
the 28th day of August, in the fourth year of the
reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria, and in the
year of our Lord 1840."
His Royal Highness then read aloud, and after
wards subscribed the usual declaration. The Cham
beilain then addressed the Prince, and handed to
him the record of freedom, which was enclosed in a
casket of pure gold, and of rare workmanship. His
Royal Highness said, in reply-to the Chamberlain:
"My Lord Mayor, Mr. Chamberlain, and gentle
men : Ms, 1 assure you, a source of sincere gratifi
cation to me to attend here for the purpose of being
invested with a privilege which, for the reasons you
have stated, you are unable to confer upon me, and
which descends to me by inheritance. It is a patri
mony that I am proud to claim—this freedom of the
greatest city of the commercial world, which holds
its charter from such an ancient date. My
ide,is increased when I call to memory the long list
of illustrious men who have been enrolled among the
citizens of .London, more especially when I connect
with that list the beloved father, to whom you have
adverted in such warm terms of eulogy and respect,
and through whoml am here to claim my freedom of
the city of London. My Lord Mayor and gentlemen,
the Princess and myself heartily thank you for the
past ; for your loyalty and expressions of attach
ment towards the Queen, for the manifestations of
thm evening towards ourselves, and for all your
prayers for our future happiness." [Cheers.]
Alter some formal ceremonies, the " Court of
Common Council" broke up,- and the ball was
opened._-
The _ord Mayor led off in a spirited .
quadrille
with the Princess, immediately in front of the haul
pas, and the Prince with the Lady Mayoress. Prince
Allred danced with the Princess Mary of Cambridge.
The ball, and the supper which succeeded it, were
the acme of regal splendor.
THE WIELOPOLSKI DUEL
[From the Leann Morning_ Star, June 9. ]
A grand sensation drama, the performance of
which has been heralded by flaming announcements
advertised allover Europe, has just been played out.
Announced as a terrible tragedy, it has ended as a
comedy—if not, indeed, a broad farce or a burlesque.
We icier to the great Wielopolski duel, which two
combatants departed from two ends of the conti
nent to fight. One left Warsaw, the other started
from Paris. They met in. Belgium ; they fought,
and they are now returning in comfort, with Whole
skins and satisfied consciences, to their respective
habitations.
Count Sigiamund Wielopolski, the principal actor,
is a eon of the Marquis Wielopolski, whose grand,
"thorough" scheme of Russianizin- Poland, and
whose pet measure, the conscription, have met with
such slender gratitude from his Polish countrymen.
The Marquis Wielopolaki is not, as our readers are
aware, a very popular person in Warsaw, or, indeed,
an individual much admired throughout Europe.
Some monthsback a speech on the Polish insur
.rection was delivered, in the French Senate, by
Prince Napoleon. The imperial orator, who has
gene] ally rather a direct and frank way of ex-
Pie:sing his sentiments, classed the Marquis Wie
lopoicki with Marshal Haynau and Sir Hudson
Lowe. When the report of the speech reached
Warsaw the younger Wielopolski, himself not a
great favorite in the 'Polish capital, rambled to re
sent the attack. He despatched a challenge to
Prince Napoleon, and took the extraordinary step
..of publishing his cartel in- the newspapers. Even
the London journals were supplied with copies.
The document was printed , as a piece of odd news,
although its grossly and - even - ludicrouslyi abusive
style seemed at first to throw a doubt upon its gentp.
ineness. Nobody who read this fantastic document
can have forgotten its contents. We do not profess
to be critics of what is called the code of honor, but
we should think even the most inveterate duellist
might have declined a rencontre with the concoctor
of a challenge so coarse and outrageous in its lan
guage that Blocked like some piece' of mad buf
foonery. Prince Napoleon took no notice of this
Born oastee-Furioao style of 'thing. He declined to
be "staged to the show" with such a aworder. But
there were many of Prince Napoleon's friends less
discreet. Count Wielopolski, in his letter, had al
luded to certain personages who were in-the habit
of `anjoying the hospitality of the Prince in the
Palais Royal—alluding to them, it is needless to
say, - in the coarse and vulgar style of abuse which
characterized his epistle. A Polish friend of Prince
Napoleon's, - Count Branickii accepted the allusion
as a personal offence. Accordingly he challenged
the. -Doughty Wielopolski. Following the example
set him; he published his challenge in all the news
.
Weeks. and weeks Passed away, and every days
Continental journals had some new announcement
about the ironending duel. One day it was asserted
that Count Wielopolski had positively left Warsaw
en route to be shot at ; next day it was discovered
that he was still biding . his time' , at home. "At - last
the final moment, the xneludabile tempus came, and it
was officially announced that Count Wielopolski
bad left. Warsaw to'repair to the field of Warsaw.
Paris, Brusselp,Vienn a, and Warsaw, were supposed
to be on the tiptoe of expectation. Both the com
batants hadllthappeared front public sight. On What
fatal ground would they reappear; and what terrible
deed of blood would mark the spot?
They did at last emerge.' The once animated, now
rather decaying town of Spa, was the rendezvous.
The foes were planted, looking, like the Corsican
brothers in the melo-drama, no doubt.. But the affair
had not a melodramatic ending. First, they tired,
and the y- could not hit each other. Next, they &red,
and they could not hit each other. Then the police
came in, and took them to the station-house. There
they were .required to pledge their word of honor
that they - would fight no more - duels upon 'Belgian
soil, and they accepted the condition, and the last
we heard of them was that Count Wielopolski -had
gone, safe and sound, back to Warsaw again. So
we draw a long breath ;- the battle is over.
MISS DR. WALKER.—Amone the unmarshalled
host of camp-followers of the army, writes 'a corre
spondent from the Army of the. Potomac, not _the
least noteworthy personage's Miss Mary E. Walker,
or " Dr: Wallier,” as she is usually styled, a legiti
mate daughter of Esculapius, and apparently a lady
of commendable philanthropy. She is a native of
New York, has received a regular medical educa
tion, and believes her sex ought not to disqualify
her for - the performance of deeds of mercy to the
suffering heroes of the Republic. Dressed in male
habiliments, with the exception of a girlish-looking
straw hat decked off with an ostrich feather, with a
petite figure and feminine features, the loaf ensemble
is quite engaging. Her reputation is Unsullied, and
she carries. herself amid the camp with a janty air
of dignity well calculated to receive the sincere re
spect of the soldiers. She 'has been with the army
on several different occasions—was with -it at Burn
side's defeat, and more recently at Sedgwick's cross
ing. of the Rappahannock below Fredericksburg,
where she was very active •in her attention to our
wounded. She can amputates limb with the skill
of an old surgeon, and administer medicine equally
as well.
TEI4NESSEE.—The following call for a move
ment to restore the loyal State Government in Ten
nessee; is signed by Horace .Pdaynard, Parson
Browniow, and other influential loyalists : .
"As the time approaches for our biennial State
election, it is proper that the friends of the GoVern

Iktie Call fin. 50,600 Men—How Shall
the Reeruitr be Raised ?
.te call will be issued today by the Governor of
PeMneylvania for 50,000 mooi ha tie raised immediate
ly ejethe defence of our border: Thuquota of Phila
delpliia'Will be heavy, and the - mew must be forth-'
coming , ' at Once. There are lintlWo•ways in which
they can'be - raised without any serious-delay-either
to enforeathedraft immediatelyy-or by paying high
bounties: The raising of many el. coinpany will de
pend on Imettlie wife and children of Feacbrecruit is
to be cared:Tor While he is absent These it is
argued, go Tv defend private as well arpublia piliper
ty, and it is nomore than fair that thocrwnereshould
contribute towards. theiris up port. Nowcif the - proper
parties were totake the matter in hand; such tifund
might be raided in , a very few days. Afte:llie quota of
the city is known-an estimate could be made of the
number of men that Should be furnished'ffbm..each
ward. Committeen fr . =-the t ,,Warious ward§ -meld
then be appointed to rais - OBVds, and therewecid
be found very few. of thoieliitirg;Ao contribute - who
could or would object to theannalrassesament: Tfie
citizens of each ward conktiodk to thesselver.and
their own ward only, and there would no doubt - be
great rivalry as to - which 'should furnish its quota
that. The quota of the city could be raised and!
ready for active service much sooner in this way:
than if the conscription act was enforced. Let it
once be known that a fund has been raised, or that
all men whei volunteer for the State defence will,
during their absence, promptly receive a weekly
stipend in addition to their pay; and there will
be no difficulty in raising recruits, especially
if all the workshops and such places vf busi
ness as can be temporarily dispensed with are
closed at the same time. If 'the conscription
is enforced, the hearing of appeals, &c., will
consume considerable time, and many who were
never in the ranks before will be drafted, and it will
be some time before they can be placed on a war
footing. But let the proper inducements in the
shape of high bounties be held out, and many honor
ably discharged men, and those whoile term of ser
vice has expired, will at Once re-enlist and can be
transferred to the field immediately. In spite of all
that has been done in reference to this very ita
portant matter, and notwithstanding the great dan
ger with which our State is now threatened, there
has been no one yet to make the first move. Let
but one ward take the initiatory step and appoint a
volunteer committee of well-known men of the
highest character, business qualifications, strict in
tegrity, who will faithfully set themselves to work
to raise and distribute funds for these duties, and
the rest will soon imitate their example.
TEE MILITARY.—Capt. William H.Wood
ivard, late of the 28th Regiment Pennsylvania Vo
lunteers, is in this city, and has a special order from
headquarters to raise a light battery of six guns.
Capt. Woodward has had the experience of two'
sears, and now calls on his old comrades in arms to,
join him for the purpose of driving the invader front
the State. His headquarters will be at 801 Sawmill
stree:., from this (Saturday) morning at 8 o'clock.
There is no guard or picket duty to i&ci with alight
battery like Woodward's.
We learn that the Blue Reserves from this city
have been mustered into service for the emergency,

Smith, five miles south of York, Pa., on the North
ern Central Railroad, guarding the bridge. The
members of this company have been doing hard.work
since their departure from the city, even the officers
using the pick and shovel alike with the privates.
At last accounts all were in the best of spirits, and
eager for the work before them. •
The Committee on Defence and Protection has
passed the following resolutions
Resolved, That the - Mayor be requested to draw
warrants for sums that may be'required to pay the
troops who have volunteered from the city and are
mustered into the service of the United States for
State defence, the amount not to exceed *65,000,
and that with such sums the customary pay of one
month be advanced to the said troops upon their due
assignment to the treasurer of the city of all claims
for the same upon the Federal Government.
Resolved, That the troops mustered into the State
or city service be paid upon a similar footing.
We understand that Company. E, Captain John
McCormack, 2d Regiment, Colonel Dennis Heenan,
2d Brigade, will start for Harrisburg on Monday
morning. All the men who have signen the muster
roll are required to report at theheadquarters, Sixth
and Jayne streets, at ten o'clock this morning. It
was stated at a meeting held yesterday afternoon
that a few more good men would bd accepted.
IMPOSITION ON THE SOLDIERS. --- We
learn ' from numerous private letters received front
Pbiladelphilt soldiers now stationed at Harrisburg,
that many of the citizens of the latter place who are
engaged in trade areimposing in the most shameful
manner upon our men who have gone there to pro
tect their homes, by charging two or three prices for
every article which they are compelled to purchase.
One storekeeper actually had the audacity to de
mand sixty-two cents of a soldier for a pair of stock
ings, whicgcould have been purchased in this city
for one-half t that sum. The soldier remonstrated
against paying such an unreasonable sum for a
pair of stockings, at the same time saying they
could purchase them much cheaper in Philadelphia.
This remark was replied to by some one connected
with the store, stating that they might go there and
get them, adding a few other ungentlemanly words
by way of emphasis, which caused a dispute between
the parties, ending by the clerk drawing a revolver
en the soldiers, and - threatening to shoot them if
they did not leave the store. Impelled by curiosity,
a crowd soon gathered around , the door at this stage
of the proceeding, threatening personal violence to
the Welk if he did not desist in his - menace, and Bet
tie the disturbance he so wrongfully created. And
everything else is charged for in proportion, while
this same city of Harrisburg had, at last accounts,
mustered only about 100 men for their own defeace.
If the residents of that city want protection, they
should be a little more hospitable to strangers.
ORGANIZATION OF _RIFLE CORPS.—A
movement is on foot to organize rifle corps;through
out the loyal States, upon a plan similar to that
in vogue in England and Switzerland, with a view
of creating a force- that shall be available for any
emergency. The men are to be supplied with the
Springfield or Enfield rifle, which are the recognized
arm oi the infantry portion of the United States ser
vice. It is proposed to organize this force into inde
pendent companies, to be armed and equipped by
the several States to which they belong, and to be
under the immediate contra/of, the said States. In
order.to secure proper persons for this force, applica
tions will be made to the different State Legisla
tures to offer prizes every year, to be competed' for
as often as once ayear. Congress will also be asked
taoffer prizes to be competed for;every three years.
The details of the organization will be developed by
time, but the fact that such a force is to be raised,
and suett under State control, is worthy of special no
tice, in view of the importance of an efficient State
militia, as shown by recent occurrences:
THE SPRING, GARDEN METHODIST
CERTACH.—The Spring Garden Methodist Church,
now building at the northeast corner of Spring Gar
den and Twentieth streets ' when completed, be,
sixty-two feet front, on Spring Garden street, by
ninetyrfour feet in. depth, on Twentieth street, ex
clusive of the parsonage, which is to be erected on,
the rear of the lot. on Twentieth street, and forms
apart of the main edifice, making the whole depth
one hundred ,and fourteen feet. It is to be built of
Trenton brown stone, and in the - Norman style of
alchitecture, with a handsome spire on the corner of
Twentieth street, one hundred and sixty feet high,
.and a tower onthe opposite corner. -
The internal arrangements of the church present
some novel, but very desirable features, for, in addi
tion to three entrances in front, there will be two in
the rear, which will greatly facilitate the entrance.
and exit of the congregation. In the rear of. the
chancel are the trustees' room and the pastor's study,
connecting with the parsonage. The :lecture room
will be very comineefiems,,and is to be peculiarly
adapted for the Sundapschool ;. and connecting with
it is the Infantechool room s and, private Mtzi.
rooms. The plan, proposes the organ and choir
gallery in the rear of the pulpit. • .

THE P IC E;
[Bore Mr. 17. S. Commissioner A. H. Smith.]
Alleged Mutiny.
Robert McFadden. U. Welsh, and Charles Bart
lett were arraigned before U. S. Commissioner
Smith, yesterday afternoon, charged with revolt and
refusing to do duty on board the brig Kodiak, in the
harbor of Cienfuegos, on , the s7th day of May last,
and also with endeavoring to make others of the
crew resist the lawful orders of the master and mate
of said vessel. The brig was commanded by Cap
tain 3. Peterson, of Maine. She set sail from the
port of Philadelphia on the 17th of April last, and
arrived at her destination on the 6th of May. Early
on the morning of the 7th. the defendants exhibited
a disposition not to do any work, on the ground that
it was too early in the morning. The first mate, Mr.
Yates, said it was necessary to get the vessel in the
dock early in the morning, before the sea-breeze set
in. Refusing to do duty, such as mending the
mainsail that was hauled on deck, and such other
things that crews are .expected to do,' they were
finally placed in jail at Cienfuegos, where they were
kept until the brig sailed for Philadelphia. When
they refused to do duty they desired to go ashore,
alleging they did not want to work any more on
board the vessel. The defendants worked rather re
luctantly ; one of them broke two needles in the at
tempt to mend the sail, and when spoken to by the
second mate, Mr. Craig, about breaking them, he
replied that he shipped to sail the vessel, and not to
mend sails. The mate then sent this man aloft to
