tt't TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1884. In a Presidential Point of View. Regarding all the fluctuations of the war, the unspeakable interests involved in them, and the consummate wisdom which has a controlling hand in making the one subser vient to the other, it is the part of duty, of patriotism, of honor, of the love of national glory, to pay into the hands of our Execu tive those treasures of fidelity which are due to him as the guardian of the rights of the - United States. For nearly three years. he has unceasingly done what few do com pletely, even in the poor degree which is required of them. He has done his duty. No one can lay his finger upon one act of the Presidential term which is not for the well-being of the people which that Government represent. There has been more than one side taken with respect to the manner in which the measures of Mr. Lnecome should be viewed. Prejudice, and ignorance, and bigotry, and party spirit have clashed together, and have time and again raised a great hue and cry. Partiali ties have distracted the popular mind, an tipathy and malice have run full tilt against pure love of country, and they have been wofully discomfited in the tournament. The man whom God selects out of millions to hold the first place in the gift, as he holds the first place in the hearts, of the people, is the man who will outlive all the distortions and malversations of time. The man who, in spite of the malice-woven meshes which seek to entangle the operations of himself. and his constituency, preserves the honor of the nation unsullied,and leads her on through darkness and through danger to prosperity and peace, is he who deserves and will re ceive the entire confidence of the people whom he has blessed with such jurisdiction. The schoolboy learns by rote the best of rulers who have determined, 'from century to century, the progress of the world. When riper years mature his inteilgence, he per ceives with a sagacious eja the varied nature of those teeming shores of humanity, thus governed, between which the stream of life forever continues to flow. Centuries backward along the course of that rapid river, the bed is dried up, and the banks are parched and desolated. Equidistant from that remote past and from the turbid pre sent, the waters disclose treasures and splen dor in bewildered confusion, and the shores are lined with a luxuriant prosperity not yet wholly dead. And so the mighty liver rolls on, between and among the United States of America, where the fee-simple of independence is forever to be in herited, rolling through the years through - which eixteen Presidents have presided, and growing furious and turbid as it had never grown before, at the era of the inauguration of the last. The merest schoolboy is fa miliar - with the Presidential list, and possibly has compared the history cf the nation thus far with that which awaits !t, under the rulers which shall regulate its career. But the =an of intelligence, who sees the end from the beginning, and who argues just conclu sions for posterity from the premises of his own time, will speculate with interest upon the genius of each Presidential term, corn -paring the spirit and workings of each with those of its forerunner and successor. And he must come to the conclusion that the Union has never been protected and de- fended with a firmer hand than under the Administration of President Lmcorx. He perfonns his duty out of love—love for the Union; his ruling star has been the star of principle. It is this which loyal people love and ad mire in the Administration of the last three years, and it is this which will influence them in their election for the Presidential term which is to come. The Union is to be preserved. Slavery is to become extinct. And these two truths have become so amal- garnated and interwrought that they are absolutely hiseparable. The man who is to. consummate this good work is awaiting the - voice of the people_ Already from several quarters it e names of several are proclaimed. The people, as a people, are united in one faith. The Union is to be, and to continue to be, a matter of fact, and not au Utopia - which shall fertilize the brains of idealists The time is approaching for the voice of the people to be heard, and all over the land the people are agitating the question. ABRAHAM Lrscorat is a man who has ruled with wonderful efficiency in the hearts of the American people. His name has be- come synonymous - with everything good in Government, wise in policy, merciful in justice, and yet j ust in the exercise of m.erey. To the principles which have clung around him and sustained him, the loyal people of America cling. According to the bias of theseprinciples will their suffrages be given. His_ eyes perceive the evils which afflict the country, and assiduously distinguish the right frcni the wrong. In their opinion of his principles—the tenets of his patriotism— the loyal people of America are converging In the Presidential terms that to a centre are past, there is much that would have been irretrievable under any other .&dminis- tration then that of Mr. LINCOLN'S ; in the Presidential terms tlxpt are to come, it is almost impossible to conceive either greater calamities than have already occurred, or surer means of their speedy retrievement, than have been witnessed during the Ad- ministration of the last three years The Burning of the - church of the Jesuits. The account we publish to-day of the de struction of the Church of the Jesuits, in the city of Santiago, the capital of Chikl, will be read with horror. It is less like the record of a fact than the wild description of a dream of evil. Santiago, on the Bth of last December, realized the idea of hell, and two thousand women and children, who thronged its magnificent church to save their souls from the torture of fire in another life, found, in the very act of worship, foretaste of the punishment they feared. The descriptions given seem written with pens of fire, yet they but darkly picture scenes which transcend even the fierce imaginations of DANTE. The death that seized in its fiery arms those women, " the flower of the beauty and the fashion of Santiago," leaped suddenly out of the glories of a religiousfestival, instantly transformed into infernal splendors. Not one element of horror is wanting—the devo tion of the victims ; the illumination of • twenty thousand lights ; the sudden fire that ran like lightning from the foot of the statue of the Virgin to the glit tering roof, and thence rained the agony of death upon the helpless throng ; and that terrible scene at the solitary open door, of women who stretched out their burning arms to men, and perished within a few feet of their friends. " Wo men, seized in the embraces of the flames, were seen to undergo a transformation as though by an optical delusion ; first daz zlingly bright, then horribly lean and shrunk up, then black statues, rigidly fixed in an writhing attitude." Securely walled up by dead and trampled bodies, in one hour more than two thousand women were changed to shapeless, crisped coals. Not a priest was scorched I Not a priest is known to have saved one life except his oa. , n ; but the officiating clergy barred the door from the vestry—by which' hundreds might have escaped—kat the fire s hould reach, the church property, and then succeeded in saving several wooden saints, many silver chalices, and much holy matting and sacred carpet. As if to heighten the horror, before escaping by this door, a priest turned to the anguished women and absolved them from their sins, and the miserable monk ITearerz told them to die happy because they were going to Mary. Thus, having administered the con solations of religion, these ghostly fathers snatched all the silver candlesticks within reach, and saved the wooden saints from Impious Eames. The fluid glare of this guilty sacrifice lights up the haggard features of a cruel su perstition. The people of Santiago rightly accuse the priests of the murder of these innocents. To prevent the fire they took no pains ; it was evidently caused by the grossest carelessness ; and even where they had the opportunity of saving many lives, they - , with a diabolical spirit of indifference, abandoned their victims with a blessing. "This is the third time that the Church of the Compania has filled our homes with weeping," says a Chilean paper, yet the priests insist that it -shall be rebuilt, while the people declare that it shall never again affront the light of day. The Government has ordered the demolition of the ruins. The Church seems to have been devoted to the lowest ceremonies of supersti tion. Murals actually established at the entrance ' a celestial post office, in which the daughters of Mary deposited written letters to the Virgin, and no doubt received such answers as her interpreter thought best. Yet the people of the city seem to have been so broken in spirit by their misery that they have done little to end the religious tyranny which caused it. In the almost universal apathy, we are proud to find Americans true to their manhood and the honor of their country. The American minister, Mr. THOMAS N. NELSON, was one of the first persons to reach the burning building, and with his own hands, and at the risk of his life, hewed down the doors, and dragged all that could be reached, out of the flames. He was nobly as sisted by Dr. SILVEY, American consul at Valparaiso, SAMUEL HAVILAND, Mr. RAND, HENRY MEIGS, HENRY M. KEITII, W. EATON, GEORGE COLTON, C. T. PEARCE, and other Americans and Englishmen. The majority of the Chileans stood by para lyzed with horror. In his correspondence with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Chile, Mr. NELSON has faithfully expressed the feeling of his countrymen. This is all we have learned of the most horrible event of modern times. We have read nothing in fact or fiction that rivals the burning of this church in Chile, and the burning alive of two thousand helpless wo men. A Work ibr Pennsylvanians. Under caption of " How to Avoid the Draft," we present the important address of Major General WINFIELD S. HANCOCK with reference to recruiting for the 2d Corps d'Armi:ie. He has made Harrisburg the headquarters of this service, and is autho rized to recruit his command to 50,000 men, for such special work as the War Depart ment may require. Volunteers enlisted for this corps will be credited to the town, township, or ward, which they may elect. " Every locality," as General HANCOCK remarks, "is, therefore, interested in in creasing the number of enlistments to the extent of its quota in the draft, and any stimulus given by local bounties or other efforts will have the effect of preventing those who desire to volunteer from leaving the places of their residence and enlisting elsewhere where the inducements offered may be greater." General HANCOCK' is a Pennsylvanian, and one of the bravest and most popular soldiers of the army. His carps isjPenn sylvania corps, to which and to its general the State lir nation owe so mach of the glory and safety won at Gettysburg. Ten redments and four batteries, all of them from Pennsylvania, are named for filling up. A rich bounty, a heroic veteran organization, a chivalrous young leader—perhaps the most popular corps commander in the army—and the prospect of special service and fresh glory, are striking and appealing induce ments to volunteers of every kind. The plan sketched by Gen. HANCOCK for avoid ing the draft presents the means most feasi ble and welcome for that object. We can avoid the draft, but we cannot in honor avoid in filling up the ranks of the noble Pennsylvania corps, whose claims - and prestige have conic to oijr help that we may help it in turn. Nothing could be better to our pride and our interests than to have in the field another grand corps, to add new renown to the special fame already won by Pennsylvania soldiers. The arrangement by which this is rendered necessary is creditable to the wisdom of the Government, and is flattering to the patriotism of the people. TEIR PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY.— Captain S. D. Franklin, who Jibe strved his country so einciently Under Colonel Wynkoop, w,ll to-morrow couaniersoe recruiting a company for three yeareerervice or the war. His rendezvous will be at 132 south Fourth street, under Granello & Taylor's well-known tenor ing establishment, and we predict for him a large business. Captain Franklin does nothing by halves. When the 20th Cavalry was raised, he left a. lucra tive position under the Guardians of the Poor for his country's service. Captain Franklin is not con tent to remain at home till the war is successfully ended. He has the energy, bravery, and ability to make an excellent officer, and we recommend all good men who desire active and commendable ser vice to join his command. Of course, he will pay the largest bounties. Public Entertainments. NEW AnCH•STREET THEATRE.—The short season of standard comedy, announced by Mrs. John Drew, was inaugurated last evening, on which occasion the fair lessee made her first appearance after many months. There were good reasons for visiting the Areh•etreet Theatre last evening, in spite of the 'cm. propitious weather. In the first place, there was Mrs. John Drew to see, after a long absence from the stage. In the second place, there was a standard old English comedy to be produced, in a idyls which, following the advertisements in the Sunday papers, should be first-class. In the third place, there was the natural curiosity to learn whether all the pro mises of the management would be carried out to the letter, and whether the Lady Teazle of the evening was the Lady Teazle that she used to be. Mrs. Drew has adhered throughout this season to the star sys tem, and abjured the stock system altogether. It would tax the trea■ury of any theatre to unite the t wo so as topay. Wandering stars, like wandering minstrels, sometimes play very wretchedly, and unless they are diligently conscientious, will ex. cure, and even applaud, wretched playing in their support. The shade into which the stock performer is thrown relieves the fancied brightness of the star, whose delineations are Must forward with the de finiteness of a stereoscopic view. Consequently, a thoroughly good stock company, where the star system prevails, is by no mean. necessary. The „ sticks" which are from season to season engaged are tied up into a faggot of a company, and, at the New Aroh•street Theatre, an attempt is made to blend the two systems, and Mrs. Drewmust learn to pursue either the one or the other, or else so to or- • • • ganize her troupe that no member of it can be above taking a rOle it can well perform, or below one it is foreea to accept. The present season at the Arch does not consist merely of the few nights annually set apart for the benefits of the very worthy mem bers of the company. It, for the time, ignores the star system, and rests upon its own capabilities to produce, in brst-clasa style, standard comedy and other entertainments, and, should it pecuniarily pay, no overwhelming compliment will be due the taste and intelligence of the public. Not that we would by any means undervalue the ccmpany at the Arch. It embraces several talented performers, and we have not the slightest doubt that the style in which the forthcoming plays will be performed would produce enthusiasm out in Kansas. Neither should we insist so strongly on our ob jections, if the management of the Arch did not put forth such glaring claims to 'public patronage, and promise, in term a of good faith, to play pines in first class style. Either the claims put forth must subside into a diminuendo, or the management must expect to take the consequences of its own rashness. The " School for Scandal was not produced last evening as the public had a right to expect it would be. Neither the cast, nor the stage appointments, nor the adherence to the text, at all approached the promises that were given. Mrs. Drew had a magnificent reception and looked quite fresh and youthful. Old theatre-goers have seen Mrs. Drew before as Lady TV6=IE, and will bear witness to her delicate discernment of that charm ing character. in her delineation one feels just as Sir Peter feels, that a little mortification is very be coming in a wife, and that though he can't make Lady Teazle love him, there is a groat satisfaction in quar relling with her. In the scene, with Sir Peter, when Lady Teazle tells him her " note or hand will do as well," and when husband and wife seal their peace making with a delightful quarrel; and when she makes the explanation to her husband in the libra ry of Joseph Surface, Mrs. Drew was particularly good. In the few passages of a pathetic nature her voice possessed a tremulousness and meaning which were very touching,and which contrasted exceeding ly wellwith the archness of her tone and gesture in lighter scenes. hits. Drew was &egged with exqui- Ole taste, was applauded with furore through out the play, land at the dose received the usual compliment of a call before the curtain. When, in addition to this, We remark that miss Mary Carr was fair BB Mrs, Candor, that Mr_ Griffiths as Sir Peter Teazle, and Mr. Wallis as Sir Oliver Sur face, were excellent, and that Mr. Barton Hill as Charles Surface was only three-quarters as good as he might have been, praise ends. The rest of the characters were not worth mentioning, and the in terpolations of one or two were in the most wretch ed taste. The stage appointments were decent, and would be termed elegant out in Michigan. In conclusion, we have a word of advice to give to the Arch-street management, acknowledging, first of o n, and with pleasure, that Mrs. Drew is a finished comedienne and energetic manageress. We would advice it not to attempt to delude the public into the belief that its present company is capable of producing standard comedy in the beat style. Whilst Mrs. Draw and one or two of her company may be very good, and every member painstaking, the whole troupe is totally incapable of doing justice to whatever they lay their hands upon. The Arch must either then come down a peg or two in its pre tensions, or must continue to rest its chief attraction upon some eminent star, or must incur the obloquy Watt attaches to a management which makes pro mises that are not kept, and which turnisheS the public with a prospectus that la not realized.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Consolidation of the Army—An Indepen dent Command — Kilpatrick Called Away —Resignation of Col. Ramaker. HEADQUARTERS, Jan. 17.--There have been rm. non for the past few days of a reorganization and consolidation of this army into three corps, equaling in that respect Lee'a corm commanded by Long street, Ewell, and Hill. There it alto a rumor that an independent com mand of tome fifty tlioucand =CM 10 to be given, on or before the opening of the spring campaign, to one of the bed fighting generals in the army, who will be authorized to take Richmond in hie own way and at his own time. Six deserters from the 9th Alabama regiment and four contrabands came into our lines near Mitchell's Station yesterday morning. They forded the Rapi dan, and their clothes were frozen stiff when they reached our pickets. They had no coffee for months, and have not had meat more than twice a week. Nine men of their regiment were shot only a few days since for trying to desert. Picket firing was suspended by agreement made under a flag of truce two or three weeks ago; but yesterday our cavalry pickets were fired on neap Mitcheirs Station, though without end. Col. Elimaker, of the 119th Pennsylvania Volun teers, has resigned, and Lieut. Col. Clark has been promoted to the colonelcy of the regiment. Gen. Kilpatrick left for Washington this evening on a special train. It is conjectured that his visit to the capital has some connection with a new and important cavalry command to which rumor assigns him. THE REBEL PLOT IN CANADA.

The Daily News says it is understood that the ex traordinary mission of General Forty to Washing ton had for its result an undertaking on the part of the United States Government not to diaputa the new Mexican monarchy. In return it is believed that promises were made by Franae_with regard to the attitude of that country toward the Confede rate States.

NUS, SHE POURTR PAO SPERCHEe AT THE UNION LEAGUE Houss.--Itwas announced yesterday that Brigadier General Joshua T. Owen would address the mem ' berm of the Union League, at the club house, last evening. This announcement drew a number of the 'members together, and, about eight o'clock, the General Woe introduced to the audience. Be as cended the stand, and spoke in substance AS fol. lows: It must be a cause of congratulation with you that the dark days of our country are passing away. The war in which we are now engaged, though it is not to be justified, and is an outrage noon thin carnal try, yet it hoe been made the means of strengthening us as a people, of prod ucing a spirit of nationanty that has bound us toge ther in stronger bonds than ever before. All a dents of - history must have noticed one remarkable fact in that. of our country and other 'nations, when they were engaged in a strife similar to ours, and were tottering away; they possessed but little foundation when they had ar rived at that State of existence when they were on the decline ; but we are having our a triotism put to the utmost test, and, if we are tr ue to our Government, we will without doubt succeed. We are young, vigorous, fntelligent , and, he trust ed, we were all virtuous; and if we are all this, we can stand this teat, and come out of It as a good man would. We can then look to the future, and believe That we will be remunerated for our trouble. We are a peo ple _ gathered from the four quarters of the earth. We possess bravery, calmness, fortitude, re- Henna trillium& and morality to a greater extent than ever ebarroterized any other nation. He thanked God that at the very breaking out of this rebellion he had the privilege of casting himself, without reservation, for the °wintry and the Union. Uncivilized and unchristianited as Rome was, it took one hundred years for that place to die. it porsible then that the experience of history, pored over by our learned men, le to be set st naught, and the country to be severed, at the very beglumagnfito nationality? No l God in His infinite E0042"11 wilt prevent it. Light now begins to shine upon orit na tional 'pathway, The North is not the unit that it ought. o be. Who can estimate the immense Win mum and poWor that this country can wield among the nations of the world when this war Is forever done away with. God In Has providence has already given us a stark upward, and if we are true we will_yet.become whet history will fail to describe. Swat.% war has rover been waged. Such a people never before be tithe antagonized. The armies aril the *aced tolk% have ever been sent into the Reid, and equipped in the shortest time. An extent of country has been taken the Like of which tuas never been paralleled. He knew what the effect of the President's pro- elamation wee in the Army of the Potomac. He had heard (Meer' say they would not light under such principles, but he was able to say for himself and nearly all the °Meer* of the army that it has been adopted by them as the only means of crushing this rebellion. [Cheers.] The President has been dedicated to us by Providence to be the means Or saving this country. [Cheers ] Who does not be neve and say, if he is honest, tnat slavery was not at the root of this war ? [Cheers.] Who does not know, from the developments of our national interests, that white free labor is that to which we owe our greatness? [Cheers.] No good citizen desires to deprive another of his pro perty without a just warrant. In order to make this war produce what Providence designed -it should, stavety must cease. [Applause.] Shall we be able to recompense this people for. their loss? Yes t The freemen of the North will emigrate there, and by their inventive faculties make it such a country as It should have been long ago. If cot ton has Inch king in the past, they by their indus try and tact will make it emperor in the future. Thus shall the Southern men be amply repaid for the loss of their loved system. The speaker said he had been a Democrat all his lifetime. He went into this war as such, and considered himself for a long time what is called a War Democrat; but when I found that the leaders of iny own party failed to comprehend the issues that ale at stake in this con test, I left them—[applause]—and I will never again associate with a single one that fails to see where he belongs when his country is in danger. [Applause.] The men in the army have an abiding faith in the ability and integrity of the President, and all those whom he has called to his assistance in this great crib sib. They intend, with a devotion that knows no lack, to adhere to this Administration until they prove their unworthiness to perform that great duty which the people require of them. Near the close of his remarks he made a very strenuous appeal to those present, who, wielding great influence, should make some movement whereby the Government might be induced to erect a suitable building for the purpose of giving a permanent home to those men who have fought to maintain the honor and integrity of the country, and while performing this duty received wounds which have unlit them for business. These remarks were received with great applause. • After Gen. Owen's speech the members were agreeably entertained by addresses groin Judge Tyler, of ConnecticUt t and Col.

The regular trains and several special ones started yesterday afternoon and last evening from this pity for Harris burg, well filled with soldiers, and citizens generally ann distins,ulshed men, who desired to participate in the second inauguration of Governor Andrew G. Curtin at the State capitol, which important event will take place to-day. We also observed several prominent gentlemen of New Jersey on Come of the trains. Quite a number of members of the Union League were also among the passengers. The Weather was vely unpropitious indeed for any out door display ; the rain at times falling is torreata, and a fog so intensely , think as to 1 , / tud travelling somewhat. It was just such weather as that which generally delays railroad cars beyond the Banal time of running. TENNESSEE EUFFERERS.—NOtWithiitillld ing the inclemency of the weather last evening, yet there was a goodly attendance of ladies and gentle men at the Union Methodist Church, on Fourth street, below Arch, to listen to ex-Congressman N. G. Taylor's appeal for the sufferers in East Tennes see, who have felt all the horrors of the infernal re hellion, though they still cling to the flag of the Union. There is no doubt but that a handsome sum will be realized by such meetings as these. It is a subject that appeals to humanity, and it cannot fail to touch the heart end the pockets of the people of the great loyal metropolis of the country. &ilea Voorhees. Widte C Wood Fernando SEVENTH WARM—A large and enthusi astic meeting was held in the Seventh ward, at Neill's Hall, last evening, to take the requisite measures to raise the quota of the ward under the President's call for troops and avoid the draft.

FINANtIAL AND COMMERCIAL, PHILADELPHIA. Tan. 16. 1861. Third street Was the scene of much exeitement to-dal on account of the large and violent fluctuations in the price of gold, which opsned strong at /69X, rose to 9. 7 4, fell off to DS, and, after various figures, closed at 169. The heavy importations and the prevailing impression that more currency will have to be issued by Govern ment. is receiving the credit of this heavy advance. Would it not be better for Mr. Chase to remove the re striction s on free trade in Southern cotton, and thereby create a medium of foreign exchanges, Instead ofattempt ing specie payments and paying out an intermit. bearing legal-tender for a non-interest-bearing note?
