The Hour, and Our I>uty«
The time lias come when, in .tlie good
providence of God, we may be enabled to
crush the rebellion. Wherever we look, we -
see signs of despai r on the part of the Southern
people, and of desperation on the part of the
Northern ' sympathizers' with the Southern
rebellion. The military situation is full of
joy and comfort, and the rebellion seems to
be doomed to the fate of the prisoner of
state, who found his prison walls growing
narrower from day to day, until he met his
•death by being crushed between them. In
the Southwest Grant marches from victory
to victory, with a rapidity that outrivals
Napoleon in his great Italian campaign.
Eosecrans is pursuing Bragg, and it seems
as if a great battle will soon be fought in
Northern Georgia. Lee is now gathering to
gether the remains of his discomfited army,
and preparing for a final struggle with
Meade. The famous trooper Morgan has
been defeated, and his guerillas dispersed.
Texas is in the power of the Union forces
by the victories on the Mississippi river, and
the choked and hidden loyalty of North.
Carolina is exhibiting life and fire. The rebels
made a grand and desperate throw. They
played boldly. The gain would have been
Northern invasion—peace dictated on North
ern soil, recognition, the triumphant birth
of a new and great nation. And for this
they played so daringly that when they lost
all was lost. We have seen in the procla
mation of Jefferson Davis a confession
of the fearful failure he has sustained. He
tells the people of his ' Confederacy that the
time has come to make the final struggle ;
that there can be no more waiting and dal
lying and looking for aid to foreign Powers.
He has entered into the game of Treason,
whose forfeit is death, and seeing his win
nings, and all hopes for further winnings,
pass away, and knowing that there can be
nothing worse than death, he calls upon the
people of the South, all who are within the
range of the rebel power, to take up the
sword and save him and his confederates
from punishment by a mighty and final ef
fort. He would -rather die with the victims
of rebellion than live to be made one of its
example.
We make this review with no purpose
of merely exchanging congratulations, Or
felicitating ourselves upon the successes we
have gained in the various- parts of the
country. This is no time for felicitation. If
the hour has any danger, it is that we may be
lulled to sleep by the music of victory. We
may suppose that, having driven the rebels
from every field, the war is' over, and that
nothing remains but to receive the congratu
lation of friends and the submission of ene
mies. That we should show this weakness
is to show the natural misfortunes and
weaknesses of man—for in the ecstasy of
triumph we do not care to think of the
future; success trifles with responsibility.
The responsibility now is sublime—for now
we can say, as we have never yet been able to
say, that if we will we may overthrow , the
rebellion with one blow. Let ns show but one
half the zeal which Jefferson Davis in
tends to compel the people of the South to
manifest, and before the leaves fall we shall
have .peace. This conscription; is a mea
sure that shows the true philosophy; but
rather than suspend its operation, let the
quota be'doubled; Even more: now that
the South is one grand camp, and every
able-bodied man a soldier, we should an

lias afflicted -with infirmity, we shall have an
army large enough to overrun the South.
Such an army should at once he raised. The
idea may he extravagant, hut it is certain
that if a million men could he armed and
placed in the field to-morrow, the war would
end in a few days. It is false mercy to con
script a spall number ot men ; and it is false
economy to send small armies into the field.
The best way to avoid the conscription is to
submit to the'conscription; for, if we‘now
show true, devotion and courage ; if we now
exert our energies to the utmost, the neces
sity for conscription will cease. Let the
country rise as one man and crush the re
bellion, and peace will do away with every
hardship and danger.
This is the true and. humane method of
war. Victory is cheaply bought, when
greedily gained. When we fight, we should
do nothing else but fight. The field of bat
tle is the last place for documents, and tra
ditions, and precedents. When an enthusi
astic Frenchman in one of the many revo
lutions of Paris, went forth to meet the
troops of the National Guard, he placed a
blue scarf upon his person, and opening the
book of the constitution, proposed to con
quer by reading and expounding his volume.
He was slain at the first fire. He should
have taken a place by the side of his friends
with a musket—for as long as reading and
expounding convince men the musket is
never primed. There is the same danger
now. We have appealed to the sword, and
hy the sword the end must come. This in
volves our duty. Let us meet it as men—
and by valor and prudence now and., mak
ing many sacrifices, conquer a speedy, last
ing, and honorable peace.
The South as it is To-Day.
Those who predict the future from the
past utter idle prophecies. A new element
has changed the nature of the war. One
year ago it was believed that the Southern
people were united and resolved, and such
a people, it was said, no power could con
quer. Whether the belief and the statement
were then true or false is little matter, for
now!the condition of the South is altered. It
is difficult to estimate the value of the recent
Federal victories, for beyond question they
have demoralized the people of the rebel
Stateß. The entire South trembles before
our Advancing arms. No loyal man can
know this truth so well as it is known to
day in Richmond. The victors realize their
own victory, hut they fail to comprehend fully
the terror and distress of the defeated. Let
no man doubt that the faith of the- rebel
Government in the people it has so
long deceived is shaken now. It has
betrayed them into a war, useless, unholy,
and fratricidal; it has urged them to dread
ful sacrifices of honor, prosperity, and life ;
it has forced them to oppose a power which
their weakness could not possibly resist; it
has tempted them with dreams of vague
ambition to realities of fearful suffering ;
through two years of unintermitted, bloody,
and gigantic war, it has led them to the
blink of inevitable ruin. Through all these
miseries,- the rebel Government has believed
in the fidelity of its victims, nor has it
wanted reason for its faith. There is not
a battle-field froip Virginia to Arkansas
upon which the men of the South have
not proved their valor; thousands of graves
hide the hones of the men who fell
in a hopeless cause at the command
■of their desperate rulers. TheVcveraes the '.
national armies have met prove the courage
of their enemies -Tie small band of heart
less conspirators who created the rebellion
had ample cause to trust in the ragged troops
who followed Stonewall Jackson ; the
starving men who held Vicksburg; tiio
blinded people who submitted to every
misery and every tyranny in- the name .of
Southern independence. We can afford to.
pause for a moment in our words of grati
tude to the noble armies of the Republic,
tbe bravest of the brave, to pay no reluctant
tribute to the valor of our enemies. They
were brave ; they were patient j-they fought
to mighty pui pose, and deserved a better
cause. " . ~ '
But now the men who have so long held
the South at their, mercy doubt their own
power ; question the fidelity of their people; ’
It is not that the men whose Strong arms
have so loDg heldrtip the rebellion are less
braye.thnn formerly, but that they are more
■wise. Time lias taught them that they are
fighting in a hopeless cause. They have
discovered that they are betrayed., With
broken spirit all the armies of the rebellion
retreat. From no quarter do they advance';
Rosecrans marches triumphantly into
Georgia; Grant strikes with energy into
the heart of Mississippi, and Meade, with
.more caution, but, we trust, with equal reso
lution, follows the defeated Lee into Vir
ginia. The entire South is crouched in the
attitude of one expecting a blow which he
is unable to escape.
To this condition have two years of war
reduced the South; and now, when its
people begin to complain of unexpected
calamities and; disappointed hopes ; when
their newspapers, paint the danger in the
darkest hues, and _brand as cowards all
who do not instantly fly to arms ; now,,
when we hear of treason to the rebel Go
vernment, and secret loyalty to the old flag;
now, at the very moment, wheu the enemy
is most disheartened, and the nation move
than ever exultant, Jefferson Davts, iu
his despair, commands every man of the
land he has betrayed to hasten to the de
fence of her betrayer. With one stroke of
that- fatal pen which lias already written
the death-warrant of hundreds of thousands
of Americans, he transforms the population
of his country into an army. He orders a
conscription which has no parallel in the
history of the century; he threatens with
death all who refuse to submit to it; he
declares it to he necessary for the pre
serration of the cause. Desperate, indeed,
must be the condition of any Power whose
Bafetyis only to be secured by means so ter
rible as this. To conquer the enemy it has
already defeated, the United States lias sum
moned hut one-fourth of the fighting popu
lation of the North. Nine hundred thou
sandfighting-men unsummoned remain in
reserve. The disproportion of power is sig
nificant.
Sueli a draft will drain the blood of the
South, already depleted to weakness. Ad
ditional proof-of the severity of the'rebel
conscription law is furnished by the 'Rich
mond journals. The Examiner praises the
law because none escape its provisions but
the young, the old, and’ the infirm. It af
firms that the list of exemptions is limited to
a few thousands. Yet embracing, as it does,
eveiy man fit to handle a musket, it
cannot bring one hundred thousand of
new troops into service. Is it thus that the
United States is to he answered ? The giant
of nationality grows miglitier; the dwarf of
rebellion dwindles. But, it is not merely
by .the fact that one hundred thousand men
would be the maximum/force the conscrip
tion could legally enroll, that we know the
weakness of the enemy, but by the fact that
practically it will fail to reach even this
number. The South has already suffered
from conscription to ’ a degree difficult for
Northern men to imagine, and this law will
be ; inefficient for want of material. . And
conscripts cannot be forced ,to fight for a ;
cause which is manifestly worthless-; a large
part of the rebel army now in the field is
composed of conscripts, who, since the recent
defeats, are deserting by hundreds. Will
their’places be supplied ? Will the ninety
thousand men lost to the rebellion in the last
month be replaced by an equal number of
raw conscripts ? And admitting all that the
most enthusiastic friend of the South can
claim; admitting the statistics of the man
most ignorant of the relative strength of the
belligerents; granting that Jefferson Davis
can put one hundred thousand men into the
field, the whole strength of the South—what,
then, do we admit ? Only'this, that we have
forced the rebellion to its last struggle ; that
it has done its very best, and the best failing,
that it can do no more. This new army
will be its last. Once only has a world been
created out of . nothing. But the United
States fthe loyal States —the populous,
wealthy, and strong North! have not yet
rent weakness of the rebellion, are other
-amofs_ofour great advantages. Just as tbe
do we invest the enemy: :kscapS T i : S‘ 1 ot 1 1 i , ll'ff,
assistance is intercepted. Our ships hold all
his important sea-ports with a blockade, not
perfect, it is true, for that were impossible,
but sufficient..- We press, from every side to
ward his centre. We have taken one by
one his strongholds, till but very few are
left; we have captured, defeated, or dis
persed his most important armies; we have
isolated him from the commerce of the
world, and by his own wicked purpo
ses ;he is- isolated from . the sympathy
of all Christian people, if not from the
sympathy of all civilized Governments.
We have - turned the very system of
slavery, for which he fights, into an
ally, which every day gives nobler aid.
In defending the principles of freedom upon
which our Republic is founded, and assert
ing, without shadow of compromise, its au
thority, we have given to, the world assu
rance of our inveterate resolve ; thus acting,
we have exposed the profound corruption
of a foe who seeks the destruction of a na
tion whose inmost soul is liberty.. It is thus
that, opposed to a power which will not be
baffled, thus starved, impoverished, weak
ened,'affrighted, the rebellion is fighting its
last battle. This is "the condition of the
South to-day. Will it be better to-morrow ?
Yes, it will be far better in tbe faith of those
who look forward to a land redeemed from
the curse of slavery, conquered by its
dearest friend, and embraced by the pure
and beautiful freedom which, in its madness,
it sought to destroy.
who can counsel
Were Captain John Bunsby called upon to
philosophize, it is probable that his first ob
servation, to the delight of his friend Ed
ward Cuttle,, would be “ There are some re
! markable men in this world.” If he had
' only encountered a volume lately published
in London, entitled “An Errand to the
South in the Summer of 1862,” written by
the Reverend William Wynditam Malet,
a beneficed of the Church of-
England; Mr. Bunsby would certainly be
justified in making the sagacious remark
which we have mentioned, in the preceding
sentence, to put into his mouth.
Mr. Malet is one who travels from Dan
to Beersheba. fqr the single and singular pur
pose of discovering what—does not; exist.
Family connection provided him' with that
easy sinecure, a fat country rectory in one
of the most '.pleasant of English /counties,
and the population being so sparse that his
duties could easily he performed hy a curate,
he started, one fine, day last year, on what
be calls an errand to the South! Who sent
him on this errand is not mentioned. , What
it was is plain enough—he went expressly
to paint the South and Slavery in eoulaur fte
roue. Letting his.readers know, with some
ostentatious pride, that lie is a lineal de
scendant of one of the marauders who
helped William of Normandy in the con
quest of England, eight centuries ago, and
was subsequently paid for his services with
land and a barony, it is evident that one
of; the objects of his j ourneying- South was
because he had heard of its hoasted “ chi
valry,” and fancied that he would be quite,
at home among the vastly genteel ladies and
gentlemen who raise cotton and tobacco, ryie
;and slaves, and dispose of these commodi
ties, at the highest market .prices. This
English clergyman, of Norman descent,
found the South a sort of earthly paradise.
At the residence of a planter, who was his
kinswoman, he hursts out into an exclama
tion, . “ Oh, ye Northerners ! if you could
but.hehold: how the hearts of the negroes
rfrie twined around their protectors in -the:
South, you would hot think of a servile
war.”. This entwining is .certainly a new,
and'curious discovery. In Mr. Malet’ s
eyes, Freedom is rather a mistake for any
body—the happiest lot. on earth is to be a
hard-.worlced negro on. a South. Carolina .or.
Georgia plantation—the slave-owners are
generous, handsome,, aristocratic! and only
a - little, too tencler-minded—the slaves are
jqyoo.s, affectionate, and happy. “.Go

banks or amid the swamps of the Red
■RiveV’l' : ■■■■■■[
Mr. -Malet believed all that was told
him about Slavery—believed that the ne
groes are called servants, not slaves, and that
slavery is a grand instrument to convert the
heathen. He affirms, as fact, “ One thing
is certain, that the four million negroes in
the Southern States are all professing Chris
tians, and all have spiritual as bell as tem
poral ,provision .' ’ If this be true, it is sin
gular that the circumstance was never men
tioned until now. We have believed, in our
ignorance, that there are many parts of the
South where it was contrary to law to preach
the Gospel, and even to teach a negro, young
or old, even to read the Bible. Apropos of
reading, we may add that Mr. Malet is the
credulous gentleman who tells the world
that “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was not written
by Mrs. Skows, “who merely furnished
somenotes, ” but by a Southern Judge Halt,,
and t hat they divided the profits, Mrs. Stowe
obtaining the credit of the authorship. Un
fortunately, having just examined the hook,
we find not a single note in it.
The reverend rector seems to have believed
whatever was told him. Among this is a story
by a Southern secretary, who said he had it
from a man wlio had been prisoner in the
North, that he," or somebody else, had heard a
Northern general say that he had been com
pelled to refuse a thousand passes to go
South, solicited from him by negroes.- This
refusal comes in such a circuitous -way that
it maybe set down as apocryphal, Mr.
Malet thinks a slave-sale rather pleasant
and exhilarating to the slaves than other
wise, fnr they jump about iu high glee, to
show *tlieir activity. There was no inde
cent handling of the mulatto girls. Mr. Ma
let innocently says: “As for the body
examination; it is only wliat is done to
every, recruit in the army.” As for the
'slave-auctions, the reverend gentleman
apparently fancied that his countryman
might not exactly approve of them,
so he asks, “Is there, not some affi
nity to this mode in our Statute fairs, Where
farmers and tradesmen attend the place, and
parents bring their children to be appren
ticed out to new masters and mistresses ?”
The proposition; however ingenious, will
not hold water, as the lawyers say. An
English Statute fair, where male and female
servants hire themselves out, for the term of
one year, to .masters and mistresses of their
own selection, is not exactly like what one
sees at the Academy of Mqsic, in Flotow’s
opera of “Martha,” nor has it any resem
blance whatever to the sale of men, women,
and children, the property of while men, who
can dispose of a family of colored persons
among half a dozen new owners, separating
husband and wife-, and tearing the children
from the miserable parents. Lastly, and
we have reserved this as a climax, Mr. MaV
let positively, affirms that there is no such
thing, in the South, as flogging the negro
slaves ! It is true, he admits that there are
overseers who carry whips, as implements
of authority, but. these gentle officials very
rarely strike a negro. When they do, it is
in a playful manner, and on the rare occa
sions when there occurs a fatal necessity for
whipping a slave, only for theft, he merely
gets a few cuts of the . whip across his shoul
ders, his clothes never being removed in any
case.
Mr. Malet’s book may be taken, in its;
one-sidedness, as a fail'sample of the fictions
about this country which are. tendered to
and accepted by gullible John Bull. Here
is a gentleman of education and station,
allied to very noble families, tracing his.
descent eight centuries back, who accepts
as true every statement which his Southern
friends present to his credulity, and, because
of his social status, pretty sure of having
numerous readers of and not a few be
lievers in his hook. When the wish is
father to the thought, the mind eagerly

monstrous, that already is anxious to be

Mr. Malet’s book —the work of a clergy
man, too, and-therefore to be respected as
authority—at least half a dozen will assent
to its argument, that the South is a sort of

Captain Henry Washington Sawyer.
Tbis gallant soldier is one of the two who
were selected by the rebel Government by
lot on tbe sixth of July, to be executed in
retaliation for the two rebel officers executed
by General Burnside for recruiting for tbe
rebel service in bis military department.
When this fact became known to Capt. ; Saw
yer’s friends in Philadelphia, they induced
our respected townsman, Captain Wilmon
Whilldin, long associated with the steam
boat interests in this city, to visit Washing
ton, to ascertain the policy of the 'Govern
ment in regard to the inhuman threat of
Jefferson Davis. He was kindly received
by tbe President and the Secretary of War,
and carried back to Philadelphia, from them
the assurance that' the Government will
adopt such a course as would possibly pre
vent the execution of Captains Sawyer and
Flinn, and at ail events punish it fearlessly:
and promptly. When Captain Wiiilldin
reached this-city, the wife of Capt. Sawyer
received a letter from him, in' which he
stated, that the rebel Government would per
mit her and their children to visit him before
his execution In company with Mrs. Saw
yer, he immediately started for Washington,
and having received the authority of our
Government, went to Fox-tress Monroe,
where they are now waiting a flag-of-truce
to go to Richmond. We have been per
mitted to take a copy of Captain Sawyer’s
letter to his wife, which we subjoin. It re
quires no compliment at our hands. It is
the letter of a brave and patriotic man, and
will be read with pleasure and pride by all
loyal citizens: . <

Tlie Pennsylvania Reserves,
A gallant charge of the Pennßylvfcla Reserves is
thus described by a correspondent of the Lancaster
Inquirer: '•'/ j
On our advance into the engagement of Thursday, I
July 2d, we became entangled with several regl- I
ments of the 6th Army Corps, and the rebels were
so near that one of the guns was already spiked
and abandoned, when we were/straightened out, |
and entered- the fight with a yell and on a charge, j
A regiment of regulars in our jear, supposing the
cheer came from the advancing enemy, broke J
and run without firing a sljbt. General Draw- I
ford never having seen our division .enter a
fight before, and hearing the yell, starred, and asked
what that meant. A major oqhis staff, belonging to
one of the regiments of the Reserve Corps remarked,
“Those are our bovs; that’s die way they go into a
fight.” The General rode forward, and seizing the |
flag of the let Regiment from the bearer, who was
shot in the hand, he waved /it over his bead and led j
the charge. This act of Ms has inspired the men
with full confidence in him, and. they will do any
thing be demands of them: It is said by those who
were on top of the hill, and oould see all, that it was
a magnificent Bight. When we had driven the
rebels beyond the stone ,wall, the General again ap
peared in our midst, and cheer upon cheer went up
for our success. .
The rebels whom we drove from behind^ the rocks
and captured, were the most frightened beings I ever
saw. It was exhibited not onlyby the privates, but
a captured major, who was placed in charge of
our colonel, asked what would be done with him, as
he wsb fold the Pennsylvanians would kill all who
fell into their hands. The colonel pacified him, ana
told him that he would not be harmed as a prisoner.
Others were told that they had only militia to fight,
but when they heard ouryell, and saw the Bucktaus,
they knew whom they had to deal with, and were
the more frightened, because they thought the Re
serves were all killed off. Some of the prisoners
stated that after we had driven them the first day,
the question waß put to them whether they,, would
make an attempt to dislodge üb, as it was of the ut
most importance to Lee to have that point, but they
declined making the attempt.
A Cbeertul View of the Riots.
A prominent' citizen of Ohio, writing to a friend
in New Yorkjn:reference to the late riot, says: -
“I am almost alone in
akanvthing but an unmitigated evil. There is, as I
thinks a compensation along with them

Reports trom Vicksburg*.
The Memphis correspondent of the St. Louis Jte
publican writes as follows:
From the 4th of July to the 7th of that month no
thing of special interest took place, Bave the move
ment of the great Gen. Sherman, with an army of
not less than 45,000 men, in the direction of the Big
Black river. There it wsb expected Gen. Sherman
would find the rebel Gen. Joe Johnston, and, as a
natural consequence, do toward his forces what the
Army of the Tennessee has never failed to accom
plish—capture or rout them, and occupv the country
belonging to the United States of America,
Johnston, as fate would have it, was waiting
anxiously for General Sherman to advance. His
plans had been carefully considered, and he waß pre
pared to meet and check the onward movement of
the Federal army. Two things he had not taken into
consideration—the general he had to oppose, and the
kind of soldiers he had to fight. The engagement
hardly arose to the dignity of a battle. The rebels
ran. The story of the surrender of Vicksburg was
fresh in their memories,. They were as much de
moralized as if they had been cooped up in that town.
Johnston failed to recover the advAntage lost in the
early part of the day. WhiJe the skirmishing was
going on between Johnston and General Sherman,
General Frank Blair marched .to Jackßon. The
number of prisoners captured by those two gene
rals—Sherman and Blair—was between four and
five thousand. General Johnston was in command
of 62,000 men in that engagement. . '
I am told by a gentleman who had a conversation
with an officer who was engaged in that fight, that
fully one-quarter of the men captured bv the Fede
rate deserted from the rebel ranks. Of the entire
number taken, he was confident that not one-half
would go back into the rebel army. They said they
have been treated more like dogs than men.' The
same state of things in the Vicksburg army. The
moßt vigilant guard has to be kept to prevent the
rebels from deserting. The depletion of the rebel
armyby desertion is large; hardly a day passes with--
■out the loss to the Confederate army of from fifty to
one hundred men.
A TRAITOROUS TELEGRAPHIC MESSEN
GER.—John Lancaster, a youth about fifteen years
of age,.was on Monday arrested by Captain John
son Upon the charge of opening and destroying im
portant Government telegraphic despatches. It ap
pears that this boy was for some time employed as
messenger in the American Telegraph office, but
of late he has been employed in carrying de
spatches from and to the War Departments
Some complaint was made to the Department
about despatches not reaching their proper des
tination. ' Captain Johnson : was immediately:
notified of jthefact, and to ferret out thecause. He
kept strict vigilance over the boy, and he discovered
that he used to open the despatches and read them,
and if there was any information in them that would
likely/ be valuable to the rebels he would, through
other sources, transmit it South, and destroy the
despatches. When'arreßted, other evidence was ob
tained which clearly proved the above statement.
He has a brother attached to Gen. Lee’a staff, while
his father holds an important position-under Jeff
Davis. He acknowledged that. he used to send in
formation South through the medium of his brother,
who used to run backwards and forwards. He was
sent to the Old Capitol.— Washington Republican .

—The University at Oxford having intimated to

the names of any learned persons whom he desired
to see similarly honored. , In the Prince’s list was.
named the Rev. Charles Kingsley,dais chaplain, late
ly his instructor at the University or Cambridge,
Professor of History there,-but better known as
poet, essayist, novelist, and preacher. Dr. Pusey,
of Oxford, objected so : strongly to Mr. Kingsley on
the ground of his presumed “ heretical ” views in
the romance of “Hypatia,” that the name was with

The Germantown Telegraph narrates the follow
ing: “ John Burns, over seventy years of age, a re
sident of Gettysburg, fought throughput the battle
of the first day, and was wounded no less than five
times—thh last shot taking effect in hie ankle,
wounding him severely. He came up to Colonel
Wister, in the thickest of the fight, shook hands
with him, and said he came to help. He was dressed
in his best, consisting of a light blue swallow-tailed
coat, with brass buttons, corduroy pantaloons, and
a stove-pipe hat, of considerable height, all of
ancient pattern, and doubtless an heirloom in the
house. He was armed with a regulation mußket.
He loaded and fired unflinchingly , until the last of
his five wounds brought 1 him down. He will re
cover. Hiß little cottage was burned by the rebels.
A purse of a hundred dollars has been sent to him
from Germantown. Brave John Burns!”
At a public meeting in . Westchester county, N.
Y., Mr. Haskin, Democrat, said that some one had
questioned his right to have a colored man.in .hiß

man who first planted the American fiag[osßoanoke
Island. Coming here, homeless and 'friendless,
he had taken him until such time aB he saw
fit to let him go. [Applause] It was nobody’s
business who he employed. * He would hire an Irish
man, a German, or even a negro, if it suited his
taste, and no one should interfere with', him,in so
doing. This war upon the negroes, was disgraceful,
brutal, and uncivilized, and he envied neither the
head nor the heart of that man who approved It,
AtfBBiOAW Publishers’ Circular.—We have
the sixth number of this (new series) from G. W.
Childs, 628 and 630 Chestnut street. It opens with
an admirable article upon under-selling new books—
a subjeot which has lately exoited much interest and
extended discussion among “The Trade” of Lon
don. It also has admirable, because full and
genuine, correspondence from London and Paris.
The letter-writer fror® Paris gives an original
communication from Miss Braddon, author of
** Aurora Floyd,” in whioh she relates her
own brief liter arv hintory, and a beautiful
note from Victor Hugo to Lamartine, condoling
with him on his recent domeatic affliction. There
are also numerous other original articles of literary
intelligence, all oteonslderable interest to those
who read, as we? 2 as those who publish books. We
notice that many newspapers quote largely from
this publication, without mafetng : the slightest ac
knowledgment. For instance, the New York Lea
der, of last Saturday, had nearly three columns co
piedfrom the Publ&hers' Circular^ Crediting it only
in one or two instances. This is, indeed, the jay
in stolen plumes.

mirable- scenes reproduced so extensively by these
enterprising gentlemen.

Elegant TTew Salmon.— Messrs. Davis
& Richards, successors to the late C. H. Mattson,
dealers in fine family groceries, Arch and Tenth
streets, have just received a splendid lot of new
smoked , salmon; also spiced salmon of delicious
flavor put qp in cads, all new and fresh, to Which
we invite the attention of our readers. '
Messes. Wenderoth & Tayaob, (late
Broadbent & C 0.,) Nob. .912, 914, and 916 Chestnut
street, have recently made a number of superb
Photograph pictures, to order, of country residences,
cattle, and rural scenery in general. They have also,
within the last few days, taken a number of caries de
visite in their own superior style of distinguished
public men; one, among others, of General Meade,
that is attracting much attention.
Features of the Feet.— The French
foot Is narrow, meagre, and bony. The Spanish foot
is small and elegantly curved, thanks to its Moorish
blood, corresponding with the Castilian pride, “high
in the instep.” The Arabian foot is proverbial for
its high arch; “a stream can run under the hollow
of his foot,” is a description of its form. The- foot
of the Irish js flat and square. The English foot is
short and fleshy. The American foot is apt to be
disproportionately small. * If other nations excel or
equal ub in pretty feet, however, they do not in the
production of handsome and fashionable clothing,
suoh as is manufactured by Granville, Stokes, Mer
chant Tailor, No.. 609 Chestnut street.
Grover & Baker’s Celebrated Pre
mium Sewing Machines,
No. 730 Chestnut Street.
The work executed by the trover & Baker Ma
chines has received the First Premium at every'
State Fair in the United Stateß where it has been
exhibited.
The following report.was made at the last Fair
held at TJtica, N.Y., upon the merits of Sewing Ma
chines. The report will be interesting to those in
quiring for the beat Family Sewing Machine
“We come now to the last articles on our list—
specimens of Machine Sewing. We confess our
great hesitation in deciding upon their merits where
all are fo well done, but feel assured that our
judgment must meet with approval when we award
the First Premium to No. 971, W. S. Taylor, (Gro
ver & Baker’s Machine,) considering the variety of
articles made up of different materials exhibited
there. To No. 306, two machine-made shirts, Mra.
Gallup, (Wheeler & Wilson’s Machine.) we would
recommend the Second Premium. In justice to our
decision, we.would notice the fact that all the speci
mens of work done on the. Wheeler & Wilson Ma
chine are upon plain, heavy fabrics, which are not
considered by the ladies v so good a test-of the
powers of a mAchiDe designed for family use as
when'lighter materials are neatly made'up by a
skilful operator.

Draft. —The man, woman, or child,who
has the gift of speech, ami who lifes within the
bounds of the city of Philadelphia, and who has not
mentioned-the worri“draft” within the current
week, would be a curiosity worthy the attention of
Barnum. The word iis lisped by tender babes; it
falls from the lip's of beauty; it is muttered by beard
ed men, and it is growled out by the discontented.
For the nonce it is spoken of even more frequently
than the Brown-Stone Clothing Hall of .RockhiU &
Wilson, Nos. 603 and. 605 Chestnut street, above
Sixth, and that is as familiar as a household word.
The Call for Volunteers.
By every hope and every fear,
And every tie that bindg you near,
By all whlchmakea your homes moßt dear,
I charge ye, rise 1
For there is one who walks abroad -
With bloody feet to mar the sod;
And countless thresholds show to-day
Red prints, which will not pass away.
Oh 1 rise, and call God’s angel down,
To blow the trump of peace, and drown •
