The Black Brigade at Port Hudson*
BY JOHN A. POROAN.
Not fair, for they too longhave borne
The badge of shame, the lash of scorn ;
Not fair, for seamed with many a scar
Their spirits like their bodies are;
Nor learned in books, nor smooth in speech,
Whom tyrants made It crime to teach;
But stroDg of limb and true of heart,
Behold them in their manhood smart
For this their trial-day arrayed,
The soldiers of the Black Brigade.
Forward ! And with one pulse Bublime,
And ringing tread of ancient rhyme,
They sweep 5 and forward as they sweep,
The thunders of the cannon leap
Upon them, and their bleeding hoat
Within the battle-cloud is lost;
Flash sword and bayonet, shot and sV.ell
Fly screaming through that mist of hell,
But onward, onward, undismayed,
They hold their way—the Black Brigade.
And on, and on, and on they tread;
And all the field is heaped with dead,
And slippery grows the grass with gore,
But onward, onward, yet once more.
In vain 1 In vain 1 The moated wall
Mooks them, but valiantly they fall;
Anselmo dies, but to his breast
The flag he bore in life is pressed;
Or knave, or fool who did oot aid
The heroes of the Black Brigade.
Again, again, and yet again
They oharge, but ah, too few! in vain.
The negro’s courage is in vain,
Nor can atone the Saxoa’a brain;
.The day is lost; on every side
Have Saxons fled; let none deride
Who mark them , ns with footsteps slow
And eyes of rage they backward go ;
And All who saw how few, huzzaed
In honor of the Black Brigade.
But not for them waa lost the (lay, . r
Who made like Winkelried away,
And bridge-like o’er whose bodies dead
Shall Freedom to their brethren tread;
The sickle they shall grasp no more,
But harvest in the fields of war ;
Their history shall keep the fame
Of these, who dying overcame;
Their poets in their songs shall braid
The memory of the Black Brigade.

Central High School—Semi-annual
Commencement.— -The commencement of the Boys*
Central High School look plaoe yesterday morning,
with the usual eclat, at the Academy of JVtußic. The
same brilllant'and compact auriieDce which always
lends a charm to these semi-annual reunions, were
presented at this, serving as another evidence of the
elasticity and spirit of our people, that can, in the
midßt of a desolating war, assemble in Urge masses
for the encouragement of education, and the promo*
tion of social welfare. The stage was occupied by
the graduaise, the Board of Control, Faculty of the
■School, and the invited guests. The Germania or*
chestra interspersed the programme with some ex
cellent music.
The exercises opened with a prayer by the Rev.
John Castle. Mr. George Inman Richd followed
with the introductory address, his subject being
•‘Popular Education.” course of his re
marks he alluded to the insurrection in the South,
and argued that if the system of popular education
had been carried out in that section of the country
there would have been no rebellion. The present
Btate of the country is owing to the ignorance of the
masses of the people in the South. If the rebellion
succeeds, then the system of popular education iB at
an end at the North. Some of the young men who
were to have graduated upon this occasion, it
W«s stated, are now absent, engaged in battling for
the defence of their country. The address of Mr.
Rich 6 drew forth frequent and loud applause.

THE WOUNDED AT GETTYSBURG.—Re
cent,letters from the scene of the late conflict de
scribe the condition of our wounded as most de
plorable, In the awful struggles of the three days’
fighting the clothing of many was - partly torn from
them, and then, when wounded, what few articles
they had remaining were so covered with hlood and
<lust, that it was necesß&ry to strip them entirely,
so that many of the poor fellows arc now in the
hospitals completely naked. The lady nurses are
not permitted to enter some places owing to this
fact.
Other wounded men are compelled to lie out under
Shelter tents, with nothing over them in the way oi
clothing but a sheet. One kind friend took a sheet
out of a trunk and covered four exposed fellows with
it.. Thewoundsof many,owing to this awful ex
posure, have already been filled with larvae, so that
a passing ambulance emits a most unpleasant stench.
The condition of the rebel wounded in the barns is
even worse than our own.
Something must be done at once to relieve these
awful sufferings. There is in every home an abun
dance of old clothing, shirts, pants, linen coats,
flannel shirts, etc., which must be spared for the im
mediate relier of men who have imperilled every
thing for our defence.
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Third street, below
Walnut, will be open this morning from nine
o’clock to one, to receive contributions of the arti
cles above specified, with other contributions, such
as money, farinaceous articles, tamarinds, etc. A box
Will be at once soon as it can be filled.
*We are authorized to the Rev. Mr. Shinn,
assistant minister of thSwarish, will accompany the
box, and see that its contents will be properly dis
tributed.
Military Funeral.— The funeral of
Colonel L, R. Francine, of the 7th New Jersey Rev
giment, who .died from the effeeta of wounds re
ceived during the fight at Gettysburg, will take
place from 426 Pine street on Saturday afternoon.
Colonel Francine entered the service in 1861 as a
captain in the 71st Pennsylvania (California) Regi
ment, and served gallantly in that position. He
afterwards joined the 7th New Jersey, and has acted
as its colonel during the past year. He was a young,
gallant, and brave officer. . ,
The Draft in the Third District.—
Captain Stretch, the provost marshal of the Third
Congressional district, issued a notice yes'erday
morning that the draft in this; district will be com
menced on Monday morning next. The first ward
to be drawn is the Twelfth. The headquarters of
the provoßt marshal are in Brown [street;, between
Fifth and Sixth.
The Philadelphia County Prison.
The prison agent, Wm. J. Mullen, in his ninth an
nual report, just presented to the board of inspectors
of the Philadelphia county prison, shows that he
has effected the release of 1,285 persons from prison
within the last year, at a cost of $129.98, which mo
ney was mainly given by the prisoners or their
friends, and paid to the magistrates, district attor
ney, and other officials. Among the number re
leased, there were 693 men, 536 women; 26 small
children, and 32 insane persons, who were sent to
the insane department of the almshouse. The par
ties were all committed, to be tried in court. Most
of these, however, appeared to be innocent of the
offences of which they were accused, or they had
been committed for charges 0f a trifling character.
After a careful examination of their cases, the pri
soners were immediately released, instead of being
detained in prison for months, awaiting trial. The
timely interference of the agent in effecting their
discharge, with the consent of all parties concerned,
prevented much Buffering, that would otherwise
nave taken place. In doing this, however, great
caution has been observed to avoid defeating the
ends of justice, or in anyway shielding the guilty
from deserved punißhment. B*.t the contrary has
been the case, as, in many instances, the ends of jus
tice have been subserved by having the real criminal
punißhed. .
The liberation of the above-mentioned prisoners
saved to the tax-payerß of the county the sum of
$11,160.44, which it would have coßtto'iffwe their bi'ls
and support them while in prison, had they remained
until the term of the court in which their cases
would have been disposed of.
Out of the 16,687, who were committed within the
year, there were but 345 convicted and sentenced and
recommitted to the prison, and there were 322 whose
bills were ignored. OF the remainder, there were
discharged by the magistrates, 7,046, and by the in
spectors, 6,611,
The ‘number of cases acted upon by the Grand
Jury within the last year was 3,119, out of which
1,621 true bills were found, and 1,498 were ignored.
There have been written, during the past year, up
ward* of 300 letters for the prisoners and sent to
their friends, informing them of their difficulties and
wants.
In the case of discharged, convicts, & class beyond all
others needing sympathy and help, the agent has, as
usual, specially interested himself; in numerous in
stances supplying them with articles of clothing and
other needful items, and providing for them tempo
rary homes, or obtaining permanent, self-supporting
employment. He has also secured railroad tickets
for numbers who wished to go to distant Mends.
Many of the discharged females were the
agent to the Howard Home, ortotheßosine Asylum.
These excellent institutions continue to receive such
persons from the prison for instruction in the useful
occupation of sewing, as well as house-work, the
object being to reform them and make them good
citizens. In this the managersof the Howard Home
have been particularly successful, as several of the
young girls have been protected and made wiser and
better, and placeß obtained for them in many in
stances—a circumstance that is not only satisfactory
to those who have been benefited, but it must be
equally so to the officers of the institution.
The moral instruction given on the Sabbath day,
under the supervision of the 'agent, by the clergy of
the differentjdenominations, accompanied very often,
as has been; the case, by choice singing of a highly
interesting character, from ladies and gentlemen
connected with the choirs of various churches, has
not only been pleasing tothe'prisoners, but must
have been highly beneficial to all who came withim
the sound of their voices. This, together with the,
advice and counsel given from time to time by the
inspectors, cannot fail to be productive of good to
those who are imprisoned.
In the conclusion of his report the agent thanks
the inspectors for the kind cooperation which he has
At all times received.

Disinterested Generosity at Gettys
burg.-—An officer of the 90th Regiment Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, (Col. P. Lyle’s,; and attached to the
staff of the Ist Corps, and who was wounded in the
first day’s fight, speaks in the highest terms of the
magnanimity of the Rev. Prof. H. L. Baugher,
(Presidenf of Gettysburg College,) his estimable
wife and kind-hearted daughter. Some eighteen of
the wounded of the Ist Corps were carried to the
splendid mansion of the Professor. Day and night
the family were unremitting in their attentions to
the wants of the sufferers; and although the rebels
held possession of the town for three days, and the
house waß searched repeatedly, the officer was so
effectually concealed that he escaped being taken
prisoner. This noble family, unlike many other
residents of the place, refused any compensation
whatever, and we consider it but a just tribute to
mention the occurrence. *
Important to Officers in the Penn
sylvania Volunteers. —The Legislature of Penn
sylvania, at its present session, passed au act paying
all persons who have recruited troops for the United
States, or the State of Pennsylvania, the same pay
and allowances as are given to an officer in the ser
vice of the United States. The manner of obtain
ing it can be learned by application in person or by
letter to Messrs. Joseph E. Devitt & Company. No.
427 Walnut street, Philadelphia, Military and Naval
Agents. Already these gentlemen have Borne four
hundred claims of this character in hand. The same
act provides for the payment of the militia for any
services rendered, for the payment of any materials
or supplies furnished to troops, for any damages sus
tained in loss or injury done to property by the con
duct of the soldiers.
The Relief Fund.—Tlie following state
ment shows the expenditures of the Commission for
the Relief of Families of Volunteers, from July 6 Eh
to July 10th, 1863 : Firßt, Second, Third, and Fourth

Arrival of the Thirty-fourth Penn
sylvania Militia. —This fine body of £en, mus
tering over9sostalwart sons"of Pennsylvania, ar
rived in this city at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, and are now encamped at camp Dana, at Isling
ton lane and Ridge road. The regiment is officered
as follows: Colonel, Charles Allbright; Lieutenant
Colonel, Edward Schall; Major, Taylor; Ad
jutant, Abraham Schropp; Quartermaster, Edmund
Doster; Surgeon,!Dr. Cummings; Assistant Sur
geon, Dr. Smyser. ■ ■
Lost Child. — On Tuesday evening, at
about half-past seven o’clock, a little boy, eight
years of age, named James Oaraher, Btrayed away
from his home, since which time he has not been
heard from ; he had on, when last seen, a black
jacket, black pants, and an old Kossuth hat, light.
Any information will be most thankfully received by
his distressed mother, at 304 Comptroller street.
Cooper-Shop Hospital.—The large ar
rivals of wounded soldiers from the late battle-fields
of Pennsylvania haviog exhausted the supplies of
the Hospital, the committee are compelled to appeal
to the generoßity of their fellow*citizens and the
patriotism of the ladies of Philadelphia to send to
the hospital such articles as bandages, lint, under
clothing, and delicacies suitable for the wounded
soldiers.
A W orthy Institution.— Among the
many noble institutions of charity in our city, none
has higher claims to consideration than the West
Philadelphia Ladies’ Association. Its efforts have
been attended, we arc glad to learn; with great suc
cess, viz: raising funds to assist the widows and fa
milies of our brave soldiers fallen in battle.
Going Home.— The battalion of the Ist
Regiment of N. J. Militia, Col. Murphy command
ing, which went to Harrisburg for the
passed through the city yesterday morning, between
ten and eleven o’clock, on their way to New jersey.
A MORAL HERO.—Let the name of another
South Carolinian be mentioned with honor. In his
oration, on the Fourth of July, Professor McCoy
stated, sb an illustration of the spirit of self-sacri
fice in which the cause of the country should be sup
ported, an example which would remind every one
of the case of Charles Carrol,~of Uarroiton. The
President’s proclamation, against which so many
revolted who never owned a slave in the world, had
not shaken the loyalty of the largest slaveowner in
the world. Governor Aiken, of South Carolina,
who owned three thousand slaves, was, at this mo
ment rotting in the Libby prison, at Richmond, be
cause of his loyaltyjo the National Government of
Washington. Governor Aiken said, in substance,
(and three colonels, now in. this audience, will.vouch
for it): “ Perish my claims to three thousand slaves,
but save—oh ! save the Government of my coun
try !”—Nashville Union ; • ,
AMERICAN ART ABROAD.—The reputation,
of Mr; Church, the mos.t eminent American land
scape painter, has been brought to this country by
his “Niagara,” and “Heart of the Andes.” His
picture of “Icebergs off the Coast of Labrador,”
now exhibited at the German Gallery, will enhance
the estimation of Mr. Church with those who have
seen ms former pictures, and affords an excellent
opportunity for those who have not to form a con
ception of what landscape painting in the United
States 18 aiming at and achieving. * + ■*
The picture altogether is a noble example of that
application of the landscape painter’s art to the

OPPOSING THE GOVERNMENT.—EarIier in
this war, a Tory sheet at Detroit was belching out dai
ly treason against the Government and in behalf of its
Southern accomplices, threatening that a fire in the
rear would be kept up. It has become history how
the editor of that sheet was subsequently induced
by political considerations; to change his locality.
"While he was still insulting loyalty in Detroit, a
captain of topographical engineers, on duty in that
city, was most earnest in denouncing- such issues.
He did not hesitate to say that it should be made
dangerous to publish such treason $ that no govern
ment on earth could tolerate it and live. • '
He said- that martial law alone could reach the
case, and were he in command, if it could not be
otherwise silenced, he would order the press to
be thrown into the river, and the editor hung; The
captain of tbe‘ topographical engineers r iis now
Major General Georae G. Meade, Cornmander in-
Chief rf .the Army of the Potomac. The paper was
the .Detroit Free Press. The editor was the same
tool of treason that belches his utterances in behalf
of Jeff Davis, through the Chicago Times.—Chicago

Met at half past three o’clock P, M., and was
called to order by Wilson Kerr, president,
Communications
were received as follows: From the Board of
Health relative to cleansing the Btreets; from the
Chief Commissioner of Highways enclosing a list of
balances to the credit of the several items of appro

Bank relative to a fire-plug in Rahstead place.
Cleansing tile Streets*
, The following message from the Mayor was
read: * .
Office of the Mayor of -the
City of Philadelphia,
July 16, 1863.
To the President and Member's of the Common Council
of the city of Philadelphia :
Gentlemen: On the 16h inat., by virtue of the
power conft rred upon the- mayor in the “resolution
to authorize the Highway Department to contract
for the cleansing of the city,” approved January 3,
1663, a written notice was served upon R, A; SmitUk
a copy of which is herewith transmitted, and his
contract with the oity was thereby absolutely and
forthwith annulled.
Such c'ourße has-been adopted only after repeated
and unheeded admonitions to the contractor, of the
manifest inadequacy of thesforce,' both physical and
mechanical, employed by* him for cleansing the
streets, and after the moßt indulgent consideration
of the excuses offered for such*inefficiency, A state
ment furnished by the contractor, of the work done,
and of the estimated cost, is hereto annexed, from
which it appears that the payments received by Mm,
with those claimed to be due, amount to much less
than the expenditures already made, or for whioh he
has incurred liability. The very apparent diminu
tion of services towards cleansing the city during
the past month, whioh is confirmed by the accom
panying statement, haß induced me to refuse
approval of the contractor’s bill for that period. In
view of the peculiar difficulties with which he has
had to contend, I would suggest to Councils that the
payment of the”full price stipulated to the termina
tion of his contract may be deemed equitable, and
should be authorized by them.
Instant provision must be made for the proper
cleansing of the city. I recommend that full au
thority be vested in the Board of Health to take
whatever measures shall, in their discretion, be re
quisite for that end during the remainder of the cur
rent year, at an expense not exceeding the rate of
$6,000 per month. Respectfully,
ALEXANDER HENRY,
Mayor of Philadelphia.
Defence of flic City*
A message from the Mayor was read, vetoing the
bill entitled “A supplement to an ordinance, enti
tled an ordinance to provide for the immediate de
fence of the city of Philadelphia, approved June
20th, 1863.” The reason assigned by the Mayor for
his veto was, his belief that the original appropria
tion would suffice for all expenses that may be in
curred for the purpose designated.
The question being, shall tbe bill pass, notwith
standing the objections of the Mayor, the yeas and
nays were taken, sb follows : yeas 5, nays 29; so the
veto of the Mayor waß sustained.

Ordinances and Resolutions.
The Committee on Finance submitted a report,
with an accompanying ordinance, entitled u A sup
plement to/an ordinance to make an appropriation
to the department of the City Controller for the
year 1863.” Adopted.' *
The Committee on Highways submitted a resolu
tion authorizing the repaving of Medina street, First
ward, with tramway stone. Adopted,
- Also, a resolution authorizing the paving of Nor
ris street, in the Nineteenth ward. Adopted.
Also, a resolution for the paving of Girard ave
nue, from Ash street to Norris street, in the
Eighteenth ward.
Also, a resolution for the paving of Burke and
other streets in the Twenty.first ward. Adopted.
The following, among other ordinances, were also
reported and adopted:
An ordinance making an appropriation to the Hu
mane Steam Fire-engine Company; an ordinance
relative to the removal of the office of the Chief En
gineer of the Fire Department; an ordinance autho
rizing the construction of a sewer in the vicinity of
Harvey and Lafayette streets, Twenty-second ward,
and making an appropriation of $2,600 for that pur
pose ; an ordinance, entitled “ A supplement to an
ordinance to organize the Department of Market
houses, directing the Commissioner of Market
houses to do the necessary cleansing, &c., apper
taining to a proper condition of said market-houses,
and making an appropriation of $1,700 for the pur
pose specified.”
Relief of Certain Drafted Bleu*
Mr. Bargee read in his place a bill entitled ** An
ordinance to provide for the relief of certain drafted
men in the city of Philadelphia.”
The first section of the bill was read, providing for' 1
an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the relief of certain
drafted men in the city of Philadelphia.
The first section having been read,
Mr. Harper moved to refer the ordinance to the
Committee on Finance for prudential reasons. The
bill proposed to appropriate a large amount of mo*
ney, and he therefore advocated a disposition of the
measure in the customary manner.
Mr. Loughlin stated that since the commence
ment of the present rebellion a large amount of
money had been appropriated by the Councils, and
in no instance did he remember that any 01 the
measures for that purpose had been referred to a
committee. v
Mr. Leigh concurred in the opinion, expressed by
Mr. Harper with regard to the reference of the bill.
If it was an important measure, the necessity for re
ferring it to a committee was the more obvious.
Mr. Barger advocated immediate action in the
matter, and urged the importance of the measure.
The question being on agreeing to the motion of
Mr. Harper to refer the bill to the Committee on
Finance, the yeas and nays were required and were
taken with the following result: yeas 2, nays 21;
the members of the Opposition generally declining
to vote. .•' <
Tbe Chair announced that less than a quorum
had voted.
A motion was then made to' adjourn, and the yeas
and nayß being called, resulted as follows: yeas 2,
nays 21. There still being leas than a quorum of
members voting,
Mr. Harper moved that a call of the house be
taken.
The motion being agreed to, the roll was* called,
when only twenty.two members Answered to their
names.
The Chair then announced that less than a quo
rum of members having answered to their names,
the body stood adjourned till Thursday next.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
United States District Court—Judge Cad-
walader.
THE EXTRADITION ,CASE.
The case of Soenger, alias Trautog Miller, the
alleged fugitive from. Saxony, was again before the
court yesterday, and further testimony was heard
on the question of his identity with Trautog Milter,
who is charged with having committed forgeries in
Saxony. It is alleged that Soenger and Miller are.
one and the same person, his right name being
Miller.
x One witness was called by Mr. Heyer, the counsel
for the Saxon consul, who testified that he resided
for many years in a village near Rosenkirchen, in
Saxony, where Miller lived; that he knew him, and
that the prisoner, Soenger, was Trautog Miller; he
had no doubt of it.
Receipts and envelopes bearing the name of Trau
tog Miller, taken from the prisoner, Soenger, at the
time of his arrest, were also-offered in evidence.
This closed the case for the prosecution, and
Messrs. Remak and Cassidy, for the prisoner, asked
for a postponement of the case,for threeweeks, to
afford them time to produce evidence to Bhow that
Soenger had been arrested in Cincinnati, in Novem
ber last, and after a hearing there, before Judge Lea
vitt, of the U. S. District Court, upon the same evi
dence as was offered here, the object being to obtain
an order for his surrender under the extradition
treaty, and laws thereunder, was discharged from
custody.
This motion was held under advisement by the
court, and in the meantime the argument will pro
ceed, this morning, on the general questions raised
in the case.
THE POLICE.
[Before Hr. U. S. Commissioner A H. Smith.]
Tike Great Conspiracy'Case The Parties
Committed*—The Detectives who Made the
Arreggt.
John L. O’Neal, Capt. John Benedict, and John
Moore, alias Jacob Hyland, had a final hearing before
the United States Commissioner yesterday. The case
had been adjourned from the previous day, on the
subject of taking bail on the charge of high treason.
The investigation proceeded as follows: The
Commissioner reiterated his opinion, expressed the
day before, that as yet he had heard no evidence on
the charge of treason, and he thought that a waiver
of the hearing, to be absolute, Bhould be made by
the defendants in person, and not by their counsel.
When this is done he would decide the case. He
asked Mr. O’Neal whether he waived a hearing, to
Which; the following reply .was made:
“I have nothing to Bay.”
Then, said the Commissioner, I must hear such
evidence as the District Attorney has to submit.
Here a Bort of side-bar discussion ensued, and
fib ally a lawyer, said to belong to Providence, R. 1.,
beckoned Mr.: Vandyke to come to him. Mr. V»
passed through the crowd of spectators, and had a
private interview with the stranger, and finally, after
about one hour’s delay, a proposition was made by
Mr. Vandyke, that was subject to the closest scru
tiny, of the Commissioner, who evidently did not
desire anything put on the proceedings that would
at all even intimate that he expressed an opinion.
After much delay, the defendants, in person, waived
a hearißg on the charge of high treason, and were at
once committed; this.offence not being bailable.
Evidence of high treason consisted partly ia let
ters that were found in the rebel mail, the publica
tion of which would implicate certain parties of
professed loyalty, and who, it is said, have been
plotting treason against the Government, under the
cry of loyalty to the' Constitution and the Union.
The waiver put in by the defendants in the case,
closed these letters. Mr. Vandyke 'intimated that
the subject would be brought before court on a writ
of habeas corpus, atwhich place the District Attor
nep will offer the letters, if by any particular leger
demain they are not abstracted from his portfolio*
Since the name of Col. Lewis J. Sherman has
been brought before the public in this case, it may
not be improper to say a few words about him. For
thirteen years he resided at Wilmington, N. C., and
within the past few days quite a number of Union
refugees from that city and other places have called
upon him, to renew a grateful acquaintance. From
them we learn something of his previous history. .
Before the attack was made upon Fort Sumyter,
there was a secret society formed in Richmond, va.,
to obtain recruits tor the attack upon the fort. Mr.
Sherman went to Richmond, and, with the Hon. J.
Minor Botts, bearded the demon lion iii his den.
Lven Henry A. W iße hipiself was forced to admit,
Public, that such a secret organization ought not
though at that time he was a member of it.
VPi* ingiving in his evidence in the ,
case wmen has just closed, seemed at times to be
somewhat affected in his speech. This was owing
to the tact that after haying succeeded in exposing
the secret order at-Rtchmond, he was shot one night
in front of the mansion of ex-Gov. Dudley on Main*
street, iby some one unknown, who kwas se*
cieted in the dark. Amumbcr of pistols were fired
on this occasion, the balls from all but one taking
effect on* the front: of the ©x.Governor’s resi
dence. The Colonel was shot in the neck, the
ball passing through his windpipe. Subsequent to
this, and before the rebellion broke out, the same or
der was established in Wilmington, North Carolina
but here he succeeded in driving the recruiters from
that place, and they took refuge in Charleston, South
THE PKESS.—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 17. 1863.
THE DETECTIVES.
CaroliDa. The Colonel was at Charleston at the
time the attack was made on Sumpter, and when he
caw the “old flag ,f come down, he vowed revenge.
Hie property, at Wilmington, North Carolina, the
Accumulation of nearly thirteen years, was confisca
ted } he was imprisoned four months and a half, and
finally escaped. General Whiting offered
a heavy reward for him,, dead or alive, but
the Union fugitive avoided all pursuer*, though
fii td at from a fort and several land batteries on the
coast ol North Carolina. He 'made good his escape
on the 24th of last January, and was picked up 60
miles at sea, having been floated out that far in an
open boat by wind and waves. * During thiß period
irom hia escape from captivity to the time of his
being picked up by the U. S. gunboat Jttonticello,,
seventy hours elapsed. He was almost famished
when rescued. He subsequently became a colonel
ircder General Foster, and in this capacity
rendered good service. Not long Bince, it
occurring to the Department' at Washing
ton that he possessed detective qualities in
in a very extraordinary degree, he was chosen as the
chief of the department of secret service, under the
Government. Of oourse his business is of great
portance, and “when this cruel war is over,” he will
be able to furnish many a thrilling chapter in the
history of the rebellion. In unmasking the New
York traitors he has donethe “ State some service,”
and we are assured by the authorities in Philadel
phia, before this very case is concluded, the most
satisfactory results to , Union men will be at
tained. Hia brother, W. H. Sherman, entered
the service of the country as a member of Cap
tain Thorp’s company of. the National Guard of
Philadelphia, Subsequently he became attached to
the 88th Pa. Volunteers, Colonel McLean, and oc
cupied the position of provost marshal at Alexan
dria. in which oapacity he succeeded well. Since he
has been put on his brother’s staff, he has succeeded
in breaking up considerable contraband trade. The
life of a secret detective is one of thrilling interest,
but none of the preliminary movements shall be
made known, as their publication would prove disas
trous. The Colonel, we understand, does not stay
long in one place. We also learn that, in a conver
sation with some friends, he does not think the re
oent Investigation before the Commissioner will in
terfere in the least with his peculiar and daring
business.

A YES’S COMPOUND EXTRACT
SARSAPARILLA.—No one remedy is more needed
in this country than a reliable Alterative, bat the sick
have been so outrageously cheated by the worthless pre
parations of Sarsaparilla abroad that they are disgusted
even with the name. Tet the drug cannot be blamed for
the impositions from which they have suffer* d. Most of
the so-called Sarsaparillas in the market contain, little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else. They
are mere slops—inert and worthless, while aconcen-,
trated extract of the active variety of Sarsaparilla com
pounded with Dock, Stillingia, lodine, etc., is< as it ever
will be, a powerful alterative and an effectual remedy.
Such is Ayer’s Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly won
derful cures of the great variety of complaints which re-
Snire an alterative medicine have abundantly shown,
o not, therefore, discard this invaluable medicine, be
, cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tendin g to be Sarsaparilla, while it was not. When ▼on
have used Ayer’s—then, and notfcillthen, will you know
the virtues of Sarsaparilla. For minute particulars of
the diseases it cures, we refer youto Ayer’s American
Almanac, which the agent below named will furnish
gratis to all who call for it. ..
AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS, for the cure of Costive
ness, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Dysentery.
Foul Stomach, Headache. Piles, Rheumatism Heart
burn arising from Disordered Stomach , Pain , or
Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency,-Loss of
Appetite, Liver Complaint, Dropsy , Worms, Gout,
Imiralgia, and for a Dinner Pill. ; .
They are sugar-coated, so that the most sensitive can
take them pleasantly, and they are the best Aperient in
the world for all the purposes of a family physic. Price
26 cents per box; five boxes for $l. • .
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with other
preparations which theymake more profit on. Demand
AYER’S, and take no others. The sick want the best aid
there is for them, and they should have it. _ • •

Jf. O. Sadler.Ec/z., Agent for Lillie's Safes :
Beak Sir: During; the night of May 19, 1563. ourGro*
eery and Provision Stole, at North Second and Willow
streets, took fire at about 2 o’clock A. M., and as the
store was a two-story wood building It burnt rapidly*
and before the fire* engines could act upon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including much combustible ma
terial, and amounting to over 12.000, we re w holly a*-
stroyed, We had one .of your No. 11 Chilled Iron Safes,
which was in the hottest part of the fire, andatcame out
ofthe fire notin the least injured, except the melting Ou
of the name, plate and paint. The contents inside were
not affected in the least, and we consider the Safe just u
good a protection against fire now as before, and shall
use it hereafter with increased confidence. The loek
works as perfectly as before the
Yours truly, McMANUS & CROFT,
Late *39 Nerth SECOND Street.
Attention to the above certificate is particularly re
quested, as it is the first trial of LILLIE'S SAFES in aft
accidental fire in Philadelphia.
I would say to all parties who want a Fire Mi
Burglar-proof Safe that LILLIE’S WROUGHT ASfi
CHILLED IRON SAFES are; much the cheapest and thf
only real Fire and Burglar-proof Safes now made; Mia
to those who want simply a Fire-proof, I would say that
LILLIE’S WROUGHT IRON SAFBis folly equal in all
respects to any. of the most-approved makers, and ia
sola at fully one-third less price. , ' , _
• I slbo am receiving daily in exchange for Lillie’li
Wrought and Chilled Iron Safes other Safes, audkee*
constantly on hand a general assortment of HERRING’S,
EVANS & WATSON’S, and other makers, many ofthe*
almost new, which I offer at, and even below, auction
prices. ', , - ,
All parties interested are particularly requested to «*-
aminfl the Safes above described at my d6pot.
