All perrons detiring to re-enter the service will apply to the Provoßt Marshal of the District in which they re side, or their recruiting agents, who are authorized to enlist, and who will give ail information in relation to the payment of bounties. Ac. - The Commanding General therefore calls upon all ve terans in the Department who have so nobly sustained the reputation of their States on hard-fought battle-fields to enroll themselves at once in the service, that rebel lion and civil war may receive its death-blow.

To Messrs; Itakb & Watson : In reply to your article beaded “Impprtanttu,Merchants,"Ac., and published In the Dispatch of.the.2oth lost., and Press at 23d, I charge rou, first, with publishing the statement, show ins apparent failures of Lillie's Safes, (with two excep tions.) Having every reason to know and believe them false in/act - in inference, and false so far at they tend in the; least to disparage or discredit Lillie's Safe, (as mede.eince 1 became the manufacturer;) as you know, these statements were first published by Herring A Go., Ney York, yeare since, next by Farrell, Herrlng,'& Co here, anc largolyoircuia'tedeoon after my prosentagenoy was established. Third, by yourselves, and'circulated without signatures or paternity ofiseue. .know, also, that I necessarily had to publish an extended circular,to meet and answer these libelous statements; that 1 answered each one In detail present ing a large of proof, and, in most cases, certifi cates from the owners of Safes, showing that these statements were base, false, and slanderous. , You know, also, that as my answer was published, and began to circulate in' Philadelphia, that yourselves and Farrell. Herring, & Co v at once stopped the general circulations these falee statements, and only circulated them in the most stealthy manner, where it was sup posed the answer would not reach, as it was found to be triumphant. And the evident reason "for their publication at this time and in a newspaper is. that it would not be practi cal to meet them by publishing in same manner the an swer with the accompanying affidavits and certificates,- both on account of expense and room required. This, I presume, is a fair specimen of the fair and manly competition to which yon do a* t object, and those are the real facta to which, you call public attention- As to your over liberal offer to test Safes by fire, there we two important oTuectlonai , reFsniss mjmv ag»raof auraartihim has bees torouec one fire, and I ask no fifty per cent, ad vantage. Mj Safe mnfct be tested upon equal Umi. and. stand or fall on its merits. The second objection is, that you claim the privilege of sheeting a. Safe la yonr own possession. This I cannot permit. Neither party shallh&ve the. possession of the Safe to be burned. , Ti e test must be a mir one, and nei ther party shall have the opportunity to drug or fit up a Safe for the occation. v “ That game ic-played ont " • I see co objection to my former proposition to teat Safes by fire; but I will now be more explicit. Yon propose -the W» aver, Fitter & Co. Safe. All right. I will select one of yonr make now in use in this city, and sold within six years, of similar size; neither Safe to be in possession of elcher party notil after the test; each party to arrahge with theowner for their make or Safe. The committee of five to be selected, as you propose, from responsible and known business men not connected with the manufactory or business of either party, di rectly or indirectly,and the burning-to bounder their comrol; a suitable and proper furnace to be prepared, ftnd the Safes placed therein, tbe safes'to be burned until one of them loses its contents. The party whose Safe wins is to have both Safes, and the party whose sa'e fails is to pay all-’expenses of the test.as yon propose; and should there be any other necessary preliminaries, they shall be settled on equal and fair terms. Gentlemen, (ball I have your acceptance? LEWIS LILLIE. - Per M. C. SADLER, Agent and Attorney, V 31 South SEVENTH Street. TO THE PUBLIC. Having, ae I think, properly replied to the publishers of the article above alluded to, I will now take up, some what in detail, the slanderous statements therein made, that the public may be able to judge of and appreciate the ‘ * stubborn facts ” therein presented. , And that I may be the better understood, I will first give a short and concise history of the Chilled Iron safe. * * * * * 'Not far frf'm the year 18501 introduced, for the time, a superior Safe Loch, and at first applied it to sheet iron Safes. Soon the burglarß began to blow the locks off with powder, and the Safe could not protect aay lock. I undertook to remedy the difficulty.' I first light boiler-plate iron for the inner surface, and cast lion for the outer. This principle was aban doned, for the'reason that the boiler*plate iron had not the power to chill the cast iron, or to so connect the two irons as to prevent the breaking of the cast iron: X next adopted ,the„princtple of making fox the Inner surface a uetwork of wrousht iron bar?, and drilled & inch holes through those bars, separated about two inches, and countersunk them, which allows the cast iron' to form a great number of bolts, as well as to fill up the space between the bars—thus tying and con necting the two kinds of iron to thoroughly that no ordinary power can break or separate them, while at the same time the iron bars effectually chill the cast iron. To make the Chilled Iron Safe fire-proof, I first adapted fire brick, and various other non-conducting lire proof materials, the one being abandoned for an other, until after Beveral } ears the filling now used by me was discovered and adopted. Previous to November, 1857, iliese Safes were made by a stock company, under my first patent. I then pur cha ed their works and made the improvements which time and experience had suggested Tnree new patents were soon obtained. My patterns were ail improved, beth as against flre and burglary. My lock was im proTedi'tojprevent the drivlngin with the sledge, as at fludeon. But in 1562 a-machine, called the Micromotor, was introduced, which enabled the expert to pick my lock, with most, if not all the best bank locks in use, making it necessary to construct a lock upon which this machine could not act. This I claim to have done effec tually, as none of the experts with the machine have succeeded to pick it. This being-the history of the Chilled Iron Safe. I will now review the article as proposed. The first complaint is, that my agent advertises my Chilled Iron Safe as the only real Fire and Burglar-proof Safe made This is eminently, true as applied to the ordinary mercantile Safe, as the common sheet-iron Safe is now of no account against burglars, as every cay’s experience proves The next complain t is, that the Chilled Iron Safe is advertised at one-third less price. This is not true My sheet-iron Safe, made like the common Safe, and better and stronger,- is sold as a fire proof only, at one third less price. The next and only serious complaint is, that my age at has advertised four of Evans & Watson’s Burglar-proof Safes for.sale that were received of the City Bank, alleging that they were fire-prool chests made near twenty years since, 4c. These safes were found in the City Bank vault, holding the money and securities of the bank entirely, made of iron plates of about double the usual thickness of ordinary; Safes, one of them with, double locks, and all with secret springs, without any fire-proof filling at all, and sold by the bank as Burglar or Bank vault Safes. The tin of advertising them for sale is ac knowledged, if it is a sin. ' Proofs are next offered to show that the Chilled Iron Safe is not burglar proof- The Safe at Knoxville was an ordinary Safe, and not a a Bank Safe made not by me, but under my first patent. The lock was driven in. the barrel being straight, and one of my improved locks with taper barrel was put on the same Safe in place of the old one, and the owners have it now in use. The second csbo, at Hudson, Wis., had the same Safe rks above.mot my make and not a Bank Safe. The lock was driven in and powder applied, and the bank at once ordered one of my improved bett Bank Safes. Third. The Medina Bank Safe was made under my first patent, and not my make. The front knob spindle was drilled (which is not practical now. as the spindle is drill-proof and patented), and powder cannot be insert ed; and the .President, after examining my improve ments, ordered my best Bank Safe. . Fourth. The Safes referred to at Boihester were cast upon boiler-plate iron, about, the first Safes made, not sold as drill-proof, and the same were exchanged for my improved Bank Safes, which are now in use by same Banks. Fifth. The statements made by Rayner St Ogden. Tear St Miller, all refer to the old Safes made by the World Safe Company, and cast on boiler-plate iron; and Mil ler’s statement that it was done at the request of Mr. Sad ler, is false, as ha was not present or in the city, and knew nothing of it until alter it was done. Next in order is the Safe at Olean, the only one of my make referred to. ( This was a common $l5O Safe. It was first turned upon its face and placed on heavy timbers, and the best-mechanic from Herring & Co.’s Works. New York, was the operator, having an eighteen pound sleds® with three-an'a-a-half-foot handle, crow ear, chi sels. Ac. After striking between five hundred and six hundred blows that could he heard three hundred to four hundred y&rds, he got a hole through the back large enough for the arm; and, after trying for a half hour to drill the door with drills prepared for the pur pose, made a perfect, failure, and the Bank which had this Safe, at once ordered my best Bank Safe, $875. I now offer the citizens’ statements who were present: ■ The test with the drill was an entire failure, and so conceded by the attacking party, and this we deem the real test a» to its “burglar-proof” properties. We.uu hesi 1 at in gly give it as. our opinion, founded upon a full knowledge of all the facts and circfynstanceß, that this Sefe is aIL that is claimed for it by#its manufacturer — burglar-proof— and so far as this test goes, it has only strengthened our confidence in the burglar-proof quali ties of Lillie’s Sale, and established for it in this locality a confidence never again to be impaired by itinerant Sheet Iron Safe venders. .

FRED’K CROCKER, Machinist and Irou Worker. C. C. RIC B, Iron Founder. Dated Olean, May 22, 1660. Next.in order is the Wilkesbarre case, which is an swered in my former article as to Us merits, and I will refer only to the declarations now made. The first is that the Safe was robbed of a lajge amount of money. No such proof;is shown anywhere. The second, that Mr. Sadler assorted that it was the first successful drilling of Lillie’s Chilltd Iron Safe it is untrne. He said that Bar num might advertise, in his Museum as the first success ful drilling of Lillie’s Chilled Iron Safe by the whple burglar profession. The next statement is, that a reference to the few cases above will show how much his word fo to be relied upon. The examination of the above cases will show that the only drilling by any burglar was the knob spindle of the Medina safe,'and that not Lillie’s and not chilled iron. I think the public may now judge how much they cau rely upon Messrs. Evans St Watson’s statements and in ferences . The late ease at Yardley ville is also one of the old Safes sold in Philadelphia before I purchased the workß, and it seems was not of sufficient hardness; and the owner has ordered one of my Chilled Iron Safe 3, saying that “ if they are not burglar-proof there is no Safe that is. I would sooner trust them than any other.” The Waterford caee introduced In a still later article is another of the old-Safes,'and not a Bank Safe, that was not hard enough for the drill, and the’victim (the owner) immediately ordered one of my best Bank Safes, having no confidence in any other. > would here state that there never has been a Bank Safe robbed of one dollar made under any one of my Pa tents; and the two cases, Hudson *nd Knoxville, where the lock was driven, in, and the Wilkesbarre. Yardley ville, and Waterford cases, which were drilled, are all the cases of robbery ; under any of my Patents, and not any of them my make except one, and that not probable. These are the/’ stubborn facts.” Next comes the state ment as to fire proof. The first: Bannibal IMo). - This Safewas not my make. I did not offer a higher prietd one for it; had no direct interest in it. It was broken open when red-hot, which would destroy the contents in any Safe. Nbxt,-St. John’s (Mich).—This was not my make. • ,The filling had been taken out of the door to repair the lock, snd not returned. Of course it was not fire-proof, and the owner says the Sate was not in fault. Next/Patnesvilue (Ohio).—This Safe was opened after the fire commenced, the contents taken but, the Safe door left open; and, af-er it got on fire inside, in falling the door shut. This is its history, as 1 can show, and it was not my make. : , Next, Cape May. —This was not my Safe! It was fur nished by Day & Newell, with their lock, more as a burglar proof; and not filled over the lock. Crystal’Palace -This Safe was not my make, nor made as I make Safes. It was an ordinary Safe, and of ordinary thickness. It was burned in a coxe fire twenty four hours, which would burn any ordinary Safe five -times. Danville.— This Safe was over a drug store, and foil into a mass of combustible material, ana remained there f rfive days. Twenty or thirty dollars in gold and silver coin were found to be discolored. Troy.-This Safe is now in front of the office, 21 South Seventh street, roady for inspection, not injured in the 'least..:; • . -* . Messrs. B. & W. next state they think the above cases are quite sufficient I think they are, to show the fair and manly competition which they exhibit towards the Ghilled-Iron Safe, and to show, also, what reliance can be placed upon the real and stubborn facts they attempt to show. Having presented the facts in the cases referred to as concise as possible. 1 will now state that I have, at 21 South Seventh street, a liberalsupply of circulars an swering fully all these charges against the Chilled-Irou Safe, with any amount of certificates and proofs from the owners of the Safes and others to prove my statement true, which will he presented to any one desiring to see the proofs.' • ■ • • : As to the fire proof tests referred to. not one of them are my Safes, and not a case that shows the Safe in fault had It been mine. , ... - The veiy common and just saying that the exception often proves the rule, I think quite applicable to prove the 'dulled Iron Safe to he burglar proof. Out of the tens of thousands In. use all over the United States, holding a large portion of.the money of the country for the last ten yearn, three common Safes have been drilled by burg lanv and.only five robbed altogether, - It shows conclu sively, first, that a Safe must be drill proof to be burglar proof; second, that the Chilled Iron rafeis generally drill proof, or there would be more of them drilled, and the test made by Herring Sc Co.’s experiment on the only. Pare of my.mak'e in the catalogue, proves still stronger that my Safes are’ drill' proof.: ■ * In a crit'cal view of the wholearticle to whichthis is a reply;'! am strongly reminded ofthe 1 ' Whitened Sepul chre. ” All seems lohite and fair outside,'but within ail is blackness, darkness, and corruption. > LEWIS LILLIE, FerM C SadLER.
