'■n ue Twenty-second of February. it year * Uu-day is the twenty-second of February, an s<T 1864, and George Washington is one hun -9 p '"’' died and thirty-two years old. We aie all accustomed to worship the name of Wash . ington ;we are hrcd up to it; it is our re ligious belief. Our earliest instructors teach us that no man that ever lived has done as much for his country and for the world as Georgs Washington. To countries which ’ cannot boast one forefather, and to whom the idea of our national jubilee has seemed meretricious and; strained, our love for Washington, ourreverenceforhisniemoiy, may appear unwarranted by the results which time-haa connected with his name. Never theless, our love and our memory remain the same. The Shakspeabe ter-centenary is soon to be celebrated, and, roughly calcu lating, one-half the period that has elapsed' since Shakspeabe’s memory commenced, added to our memory of Washington, will bring ns to the ter-centenary of the Father of Hr Country, and add a distinctive item, which will forever be remembered, to the centenarian celebrations of the world. tv by we should love Washington as we do, is a question which does not often occur to any American citizen. Why should we love our fathers? Why should we love our mothers ? Washington and love of country are correlative. Washington was our father, and our country was the mother earth whom he wedded. That pa rentage has brought the United States of America up to her present prestige among the nations of the earth. In these times, when every man is expect ed to he a soldier, and to wear a “ swashing and a martial outside, ” the career of Wash ington is our only perfect pattern. Never was man more devoted to his career; never, never have men so scrupulously performed their duty with such nicety and strength. For the soldier he is an absolutely perfect pattern. If he were here to-day in body, as he is here in the memoiy and love of all, his very presence could not speak more ef fectually than our universal memoiy of his Virtues, He was alive to the hour. He was the man, of all men, who understood the necessities of the moment. All the require ments of. the hour he had at his command. He understood the art of war and the art of peace, and he could balance the nation he governed as nicely as he balanced the work ings of his own heart and brain. If it is not by public monuments, still less is it by words, that our nation can ex press the homage and reverence which, as an instinctive duty, it owes to the author of its existence. In reviewing the wonder ful and God-guarded career of Washing ton, we are often reminded of the sad hut truthful words of Napoleon, when he con trasts it with his own, and remarks, with his unerring intuition, that his ("Napoleon's ) memory will decay, as the ages advance, whilst Washington’s will survive all the revolutions of time. This day, as the one hundred and thirty-second anniversaiy of the birth of Washington, will be observed with an enthusiasm which will invite com parison with the earliest commemorations, and which will not even be eclipsed by the i advance of centuries 1 . The Queen’s Speech. The document called “ The Speech from the Throne,” which usually sayß as little as possible, and says that little very obscurely, was read to the assembled Lords and Com mons, duly assembled in the new Palace of Westminster on the 4th of this month, and has reached us. Queen “Victoria did not open the Session in person, and the Speech was. therefore, read by the Lord Chancellor, as head of a Commission of three Peers duly delegated to represent her Majesty on that occasion. Here, before noticing the Speech itself, we take leave to protest against the mutilation which it sustained at the cruel hands of a morning contemporary, on Sa turday. In the Speech itself, which is drawn up by the Ministry and not by. the Queen, the audience were twice addressed as “ My Lords and Gentlemen.” Our contemporary has changed this into “My Lords and Genls." In England this contraction denotes the very meanest class of “snobs” (Thackeray passed that vulgar epithet into conversational currency), audits signification here is much the same. Queen Victoria would no more have addressed members of Parliament as “ Gents.” than Mr. Lincoln, in his Annual Message, commending the bravery of our soldiers, would have wound np with “ bully for them,” or, describing the retreat of the rebels, would have said “they skedaddled in all directions.” The Speech particularly, and more in de tail than is usual, gives a statement of the Danish question. It takes caie to mention ■what Powers were party to the Treaty of 1852, hy which the father of the Princess of "Wales was declared successor to the Crown of Denmark, in the event of the then reign ing king dying without leaving lawful male heirs. The principle of that treaty was to preserve the integrity of the Danish monarchy. The parties to that treaty were the respective rulers of Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Hanover, Saxony, Wnrtemhurg, the Netherlands, Spain, Por tugal, and Italy. Some of these parties are . now endeavoring to effect the partition of Denmark hy severing Holstein and Schles wig, and giving them to the morganatic son of the landless Dnke of Augnstenbourg, though said Duke, in 1852, bargained for and pocketed $150,000 as the price for aban doning all claims to said Duchies. The Queen’s speech speaks of her desiffe to maintain peace, hut it is said that her ministers, generally, are for giving Den mark substantial military and naval aid— that Earl Hussni.ii and Mr. Gladstone alone stand ont for non-interference, and that Eord Pjmebeton intends leaving the responsibility of assisting Denmark to rest on the decision of Parliament. On other foreign subjects the speech says little. The difficulty with Japan and the “incidental ” destruction of a considerable portion of the town Of Kagosima, is mentioned, without any expression of regret; hope is expressed that the insurrection in New Zealand will, before long, be put down, and the surrender of the lonian Islands to the Kingdom of Greece is noticed. Of the condition of affairs in the United States, Queen Victoria doesnot condescend to say one word. Even the usual stereotyped boast about the deßire to maintain neutrality is omitted. This coun try is apparently too insignificant for Queen Victoria’s notice. As for domestic policy the speech says next to nothing. There is the old declara tion that the estimates have been prepared with economy, and that the revenue flourishes. A hope is held out that cotton will be obtained, in some way, from some places. “Various measures of public use fulness’’ are vaguely promised, but the only thing named is the issuing of a Commission for revising the various forms of subßcrip tion required to be made by the clergy of the established church of Ensland.” A much more acceptable measure would have been some Ministerial plan f or relieving dissenters from the payment oi tithes and rates, to support a jjkrgy Whose teaching they will not accept, and to build and repair churches which they will not enter. Precisely what Europe desired to know, namely, the policy of England on the Da nish question—is not communicated in the speech from the Throne. Most probably there is a difference of opinion in the Cabi net. France, it is believed, will not take any active part in the contest which has be gun, and Russia will probably hold off, also. As England cannot have what Waii- Ungton denounced as “little wars,” the chance is that, if she does go into this strife, it may he “with a will,” and, ere long, Europe may be involved in a general war. There is little time for deliberation, inasmuch aa Austrian and Prussian armies have invaded Holstein-Schleswig, and actual fighting has commenced. "War, in any part of the world, is such an evil that it will be fflw.li comfort for us, that, if Europe rush to arms, any impertinence towards us, in' Hie guise of interference, cannot then be thought of. —-KV 22, 1864. cation by sea. In the former war, of which the present seems so far a fac-simile both in cause and character—the contestants still fighting over the old battle-grounds—the Danes made' nearly the same retreat to gain the island of Alsen, where, protected by a gallant navy, they for awhile defied the Germans, and at last grew bold enough to return to the mainland, and punish their pursuers with defeat. The Danes have not retreated in the pre sent instance without inflicting severe losses upon their numerous enemy; but they must have abandoned positions of extreme strength for others, perhaps, not so strong. They count not more than 50,000— the army of hardly two millions of very indivi dual people, against more than one hundred thousand—a larger force than the Germans have ever brought before to the arbitrament of battle in Schleswig. The Allies evidently wish to settle the controversy as soon as possible; and if the retreat upon Flens burg be thoroughly true, they have no reason to complain of their success thus far. If we suppose rightly, the great Danne werke has proved unavailing, unless it has been carried only at a terrible cost, and furnishes another proof that no fortification is quite impregnable. We read of this im mense work that, in some parts, it is from thirty feet to thirty-six feet high, and that the ramparts are from sixteen feet to twenty feet broad. All the earthworks are in con- j nection, with the Schley on one side and Treene on the other, and the Danish forces had it in their power to flood not less than sixty-four square miles of land in front of the great Dannewerke, at a moment’s notice, provided the sluice-gates were of any use in time of frost. Moat and for tress, it seems, have alike proved . in sufficient, unless the supposed retreat to Flensburg is only the withdrawal to an interior line of fortifications. This we cannot think is probable, and our despatches at length confirm the news of the Danish defeat, Austrians, Prussians, Saxons, Hano verians, and a long list of enemies, great and little, pursuing. As the weaker party in the war, the Danes j receive much sympathy. They are brave, j free, and, according to the late King, no ! other people in Europe are so well fitted to j govern themselves. Whatever the merits ! of the original quarrel, the Danes have, at j the present moment, the direct justice of j the case upon their side. Austria and Prus- ] sia had demanded the immediate repeal of the obnoxious Constitution tor Schleswig. This the King of Denmark, who is only a constitutional sovereign, found it impossible to do without the convocation of the Rigs raad, or, in other words, the Danish Parlia ment, for which he issued a summons forth with. Unwilling to trust either King Christian or the Danish people, the Allies proceeded at once to occupy the territory, ostensibly as a guarantee for their demands. Ho spirited nation could submit to such an insult, and hence the clash of arms. In other respects, the Schleswig-Holstein ques tion is one of “nationality,” which does not arise from any particular heart-break ing. The DSnes are not exactly tyrants, but Danes, and the Schleswigers are not slaves, but Germans, principally. Schles wig-Holstein belongs to Denmark, by a far better right, doubtless, than that with which Austria and Prussia hold some of their pos sessions ; but the latter Governments are ag gressive in proportion to their power, and the Cabinet of Prussia, it is more than rumored, had even gone so far as to offer the Danish islands in the Baltic as a bribe to Sweden, which, to quote the words of the Times’ correspondent, rejected the offer with scorn. If the war in Schleswig has any earnest purpose on the pari of the Allies, it means, of course, that Denmark must -be dispos sessed of that pari of Germany which she is said to hold. Is Schleswig Denmark, or is it Germany ? Much may be said upon both sides of the question ; but it is plain that the Germans desire, whether they need it or not, a little more territory seaward. The death of United States District At torney George A. Coffey is a public loss. Mr. Coffey was an able lawyer, a true gen tleman, an earnest and sincere advocate of free principles, and one of the first to take a firm stand in opposition to the tyranny of slavery in the North. Since the war, Mr. Coffey’s services to Pennsylvania and the Government were many and important. Whenever I hear an intelligent man trying to arouse and exaggerate the prejudice against the colored race, in the face of the practical experience of the war, it is no diffi cult thing to decide against the sincerity of his motives. A much higher estimate must be placed upon the judgment of one who is simply ignorant and bigoted,Jand who ex claims against the negro in the spirit of party hatred. The first shows that he is partial and unjust; and the second is strengthened in his intolerance by the example of his leaders. The bad men who fomented and forced this war knew only too well that there was a mighty element in the South, which fin the event of the "hostility so recklessly braved or else so eagerly desired hy the Secession politicians ), must either be the foes or the friends of the Government. Sad the slave holders been, able to use their human chattels against the Government, the rebellion would Juize in the first gear ofi Mr. Lincoln's Administration. Who does not remember how frequently it was said hy these men, that their slaves would fight and die for their masters? how they despised the Yankees ? and how they hated the men who were trying to ameliorate a con dition, which, as flippantly alleged, was only calculated to increase their suffer ings? And who can forget the predic tions that one of the objects of the friends of the Government was to excite the slaves to insurrection, and to set them upon their masters and mistresses? And, also, that every attempt to give them free dom would fail before the contemptuous refusal of the slaves themselves of this bar ren boon, and the certain subsequent desti tution of their enfranchised race ? Not one of these prognostications or threats has been vindicated by the events. In the first week of the war the traitors were agonized between doubts and fears of the slaves. In fact, they made their own chattels ftoo oiten their own children ) their remorseless enemies, by constantly suspecting and watching them. They have feared to put muskets into their hands, lest these might be turned against themselves. No Blave has been found who. is ready to die for his owner. Instead of hating and betraying the Union soldiers, they have helped them in battle, and in de feat have concealed them from pursuit and punishment. There has not been a single “servile insurrection.” The slaves have not only accepted their freedom, but have begged for it with piteous prayers, audhave fled in droves from the patriarchal estates of their lordly owners. In the army of the Union they have fought like heroes. In the walks of labor they have worked like honest, and conscientious,and self-respecting men. They have not gone North to arouse prejudice, and wherever they have located in the South, when protected by the old Schleswig* The first blood has been drawn in the Danish quarrel at Missunde, on the river Schley, which, with the river Treene, forms the water defence or moat along which somewhat tortuous line is reared that na tional bulwark, the historic Dannewerke, which extends quite across Schleswig, from the Baltic to the Northern Sea. The war has begun right at the door and in the neigh borhood of the city of Schleswig, the capi tal of the Duchy, the main body of the allied armies, consisting of the Austrians and Germans, attacking the Danes in front, after the Prussians, under Mar shal Wbangel, who commanded them in the same enterprise some fifteen years ago, had assailed his ancient enemies at Missunde, with the intention of flanking them, and cutting them off from sea. A success in this particular would render a re treat upon Flensburg necessary to the safety of the Hanes, and of this movement we hear. Flensburg is at the inland end of Flens burg Fiord, and the Danes would naturally retreat to this point to save their communi LETTER FROM “ OCCASIfIyiI.” "Washington, Feb. 19, 1864, flag, they have shown themselves to be pos sessed of many practical qualities. Is it not Strange that, with all these strong proofs be fore them, intelligent men still toil to feed the prejudices of the ignorant, and to grope in the ashes of old party fires for some spark with which to rekindle deadly ani mosities $ The Southern negroes are the friends of the Union, and the devoted ad mirers of the Union troops. Who would wish to change this feeling f • Who is ready to refuse the help of the grateful slave who offers to save the lite of a white soldier, either by taking his place in the ranks, by attending to him in battle, by nursing him Sick or wounded, or by sheltering him from the blood-hounds of slavery, who hunt him when he escapes from pestilential prisons, pr flies from unutterable cruelties ? And yet it is such results that the-bittemesß of party leaders and the bigotiy of party followers Would produce. There is in this question of the Southern negro and his faithfulness to the Union cause, and his idolatrous de votion to the Union soldiers, a retributive philosophy, which may some day, and that very shortly, react with fearful effect upon Copperhead politicians. If these politicians desire to anticipate their doom, let them consult the escaped officers who, on their dangerous journey from Richmond to the Union lines, found their pathway smoothed by the kindness of the slaves, and brightened by their smiles. Occasional. WASHINGTON, [Special Despatches to The Press.] Wabhikoto*, D. U., Feb. SO. The Alabama and Wyoming. The following paper was prepared in aa official quarter, believed to be by Admiral (1. H. Davis, the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation: “ The late news concerning the Alabama and Wyoming involves two problems in navigation, the solution of wbieh naturally gives rise to some disous Sion. The information is— “ 1. Concerning the Alabama—that the Alabama was at Singaporean the SSd of December, and that she was at Amoy on the 3d of January. “2. The Wyoming was at Bbio (near Singapore), December oth, about to proceed the neat day to Ba tavia (via the Straits of (Jasper), where ehe was to .pair her boilers, and the additional Information coneeming'thls vessel is that given by our minister resident nt Kanagawa, and dated on the 19th of January, that she was watching the Alabama at Amoy. " It appears from toe statement* that the Alabama, after consuming some time in eoallng, ascended the China Sea, during the northeast monsoon, and at the time when it blows with its greatest strength, In eleven, days, tunning n distance of 1,680 miles against the wind and current or the monsoon, and that the Wyoming ascended the whole length of the Chins Sea hum Batavia to Amoy, a diatanoe of 2,000 miles, under the same circumstances, but without a similar limitation of time. "It is doubted, and very justly, by East India na* vigatorc, whether there is not some mistake in these •dates. A feat similar to that now reported of the Alabama was performed by the English steamer Vixen, an account of which is given by her master, Allen, in the Nautical Magazine, end cited by De Kim hallet in his ‘ I.’Ocean Indian.’ After leaving Sin gapore she passed to the westward of the Anambas, and then steered northeast, passing to the northward of the Natunas, until she had re ached* the meridian of 112° east longitude. She then steered north, carrying her fore and aft sails, until she had passed the Paracels, when she headed directly for Hong Kong, facing the monsoons. The distance is 1,522 miles, and it was accomplished in nine davs and twenty three hours, at a mean rate of 6.35 miles an hour. “Thedistance from Singapore to Amoy (the voyage of the Alabama) would be performed in ten days and eight hours at the rate of e.S miles an hour, and, as the Interval of time is eleven days, this would allow her sixteen hours for eoaling. But i( she consumed twenty-four hours in eoaling, the might have accomplished her passage In ten days at the mean rate of 7 miles an hour. "In October, 1860, between the dates of the 10th and 22d, the United States steam frigate Niagara made the passage from Batavia to Hong Kong in eleven days and eighteen hours, which gives her a mean rate per hour of 6.25 miles. But we find, on examining her log-book, that the wind waa light, not exceeding an average of 2.8 until the second day before her arrival at Hong Kong. " With regard to the Wyoming, the problem is not so difficult of solution. She was to leave Rhio on the 10th of December, She would probably reach Batavia, a distance of five hundred miles, on the 13th. If we allow her a week for the repair of her boilers, she would leave ißatavis on the 20th, and arrive at Amoy, Ihe distance being two thousand and forty miles, on the 2d of January, even if her mean rate of going was no more than 6.6 miles an hour,” Enlistments in the Navy. Fourteen United States vessels are now waiting for aeamen, being ready, in all other respects, to proceed to their respective points of destination. The amendatory enrolment bill, just passed, is de signed to remedy the deficiency of seamen, aa by its provisions any mariner or able seaman who shall be drafted has the right to enlist in the naval service, which exempts him from the draft. Many sailors have entered the army, having been encouraged by the bounty to do so. The bounty already received is to be deducted from the prize money to which they may become entitled during the time required to complete their military service. II they are suc cessful in obtaining prize money, they can afford to refund, but if not, then, of course, they retain the military bounty. It is important to learn “that, whenever any mariner or able or ordinary aeaman shall have been exempted from such draft in the military service by such enlistment in the naval service, under due cer tificate thereof, then the ward, precinot or election district, township or county, when the same is not divided into wards, precincts or election districts towns or townships, from which such person has been drafted, shall be credited with his services, to all intents and purposes, as if he had been duly mus tered into the military service under such draft." Capture of Blockade-Runners. The Navy department haa received despatches from the East Gulf Blockading Squadron, an nouncing the capture of the Britiah aehooner Eliza and the British sloop Mary, Doth from Nassau, oap* lured while attempting to run out of Jupiter Inlet, Florida, with cargoes of cotton. One of the passen gers on the Mary was on his way to purchase ma chinery, with the intention of starting a woolen fac tory in the South. The sloop Oaroline was alio eaptured while at tempting to run out of Jupiter Inlet. The British sloop Young Borer, laden with salt, was run ashore and destroyed. The schooner William A. Kain was eaptured while waiting an opportunity to run the blockade, with fifty-seven bales of cotton and nearly 3,000 its. of tobaoeo. Important Order from the Attorney General. The following important circular letter has been addressed to the United States District Attorneys: Sib : Many persons against whom criminal indict ments, or against whom property proceedings under the confiscation laws are pending in the courts of the United States, growing out of the participation of suoh persons in the existing rebellion, have, in good faith, taken the oath prescribed by the procla mation of the President of Bth of December, 1863, and have, therefore, entitled themselves to the full pardon, and restoration of all rights of property, ex cept as to slaves, and where rights of third parties have intervened, which that proclamation offers and secures. The President’s pardon of a person guilty of acts of rebellion,will, oftcourse, relieve that person from the penalties incurred by his crime, and, where au indictment is pending against him therefor, the pro duction of the pardon signed by the President, or of satisfactory evidence that he has complied with the conditions on which the pardon is offered (if he be not of the class excepted from the benefits of the proclamation), will be a sufficient reason for dis continuing suoh criminal proceedings, and discharg ing him from custody therein. Nor Is it less doubtful that a bona fide acceptance of the terms of the President’s proclamation, by per sons guilty of acts of rebellion, and not of the ex* copied class, will secure to such persons a restore- Hon of all the right, oi except A« to slaves •no where the light, ol third parties aiim! have in iriVtiied, notwith at ending such property may, by reason of those aots of rebellion, have been subjeot to confiscation under the provisions of the confisca tion acts of 6th August, 1861, ohap. 60, and 17th July, 1862, chap. 196. For, without adverting to any other source of power in the President to restore or pro tect their rights of property, the 13th section of the act of 17th of duly, 1962, authorizes the President st any time thereafter, by proclamation, to extend to persons who may have partielpated in the existing rebellion, in any State or part thereof, pardon ana amnesty, with suoh exception!, and at such times, and on snoh conditions as he may deem expedient for the public welfare. It will hardly be questioned, I suppose, that the purpose of this seohon, inserted In a Jaw mainly in tended to reach the property of persons engaged In rebellion, was to invest the President with full power to relieve suoh persona, on such conditions as he should prescribe, from the penalty of loss of their property by confiscation. Although the proceedings for confiscation under the aots of August 6,1861, and July 17,1862, are in rent, against the property seized, yet under both aots the ground of condemnation#, the personal guilt of the owner in aiding the rebel lion. By the pardon and amnesty not only Is the punishment of that personal guilt remitted, but the offence itself is effaoed, that being the special effect of an act of amnesty by the Government. Of course it arrests and puts an end to all penal proceedings founded thereon; whether they touch the person or the property of the offender. There is, therefore, no case of judlslal proceedings to enforce the penalties of acts of rebellion whleh cannot be reached and cured by the constitutional or statutory power of the President to grant pardon and amnesty, whether those proceedings be against the person of the offender by criminal indictment, or against his property under the confiscation aots re ferred to. The President has, accordingly, directed me to in struct you that in any case where proceedings have been commenced and are pending and undetermined in the District or Circuit Court of the United States lor your district against a person shamed with aots of rebellion, and not of the excepted elites, whether they be by indictment or by seizure and Übst of his property for confiscation, (the sights of other paraes not having intervened,) you- will dls continue and put an end to those proceedings, whenever the person so charged shall produce evi dence satisfactory to you that he has, in good faith, taken the oath and complied with theoondltloas pre scribed by the President*, proclamation, of the 9th December, 1863. Nor is it necetsary that the evi dence whloh he produce* should be a deed of pardon, signed by the President. It would be quite impos sible for the President to furnish the multitude who are now availing themselves of the benefitaof the pnoolamaiion, and who are likely to do so hereafter, with this formal evidence of pardon. It will be suf ficient to justify your action if the party seeking to be relieved from further proceedings shall prove to your foil satisfaction that he has, in good faith, taken the oath, and brought himself within.the son unions of pardon and amnesty set forth in Hie pro clamation. If, in any ease, you have good reason to believe that the oath haa beeu takem for the mere purpose of obtaining the poaseseiesi of personal property seized under the confiuatieta actaT with Intent to re move it from the subsequent reach of the officers of the law, you will make report of the faets and rea sons for your belief at this office before discontinuing the proceedings or netoting suoh property to the PbMEsiton °f the owner. ThefuglUvesJunder the fifthsestlou o( the act c( THU PREBB—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 32.1864 ISth July, 1691, ohap. 3, are not ol the olass reached by the President's proclamation, for, under that act, the question whether the property seized Is subject to forfeiture depends upon the predicament of the property Itself, and not upon the personal guilt or innocence of Its owneT. aln this respect forfeitures under that act have more resemblance to oases or prize of war oaptured at sea as enemy's property than to proceedings under the acta of August, 1891, and July, 1894. Such forfeitures are enforced not so much to punish the owner for disloyal aots aa to prohibit commercial Inter course and to weaken the public enemy, whioh are always effi cient Instruments and legitimate effects of public war. But although the remission of forfeitures under the act of July, tsei, are thus not within the soope of the proclamation of pardon, still ample power is conferred on the Secretary of the Trea sury, by the eighth section of that act, to mitigate or remit all forfeitures and penalties lnourred under the act. And it is not to be doubted that. In all proper cases under that act, where the ownerof the property, residing in the territory In rebellion, oom pile* Willi the conditions of the proclamation# tbQ Secretary of tho Treasury will exercise the power of remission of such forfeiture In the same spirit of generous forbearance and liberality whioh Inspired and characterizes the proclamation.

She brought four hundred and twenty-two bales of cotton, con signed to Memphis. The steamer Bryan, which was burned at Colum bus, Kentucky, yesterdsy, was owned by the Go vernment. Her oargo was not valuable. An unsuccessful attempt was made to burn tho steamer Mississippi, at Memphis, on the 17th Inst. The Memphis cotton market, at the latest dates, was Inactive, and the quotations were 65@670. for strlot middlings Jand 670. for good middlings. Gaibo, Feb. 20.—An officer who has just arrived herefrom the Big Black river reports that before reaching Jackson a skirmish ensued between a part of Gen. Sherman’s forces and a body of from fourto five thousand rebels, in whioh the enemy were de feated and forty or them oaptured. Our army had passed through Jackson, Miss., and two columns of the enemy were retreating across the Pearl river, so precipitately that his pontoons, together with two pieces of his artillery and a num ber of prisoners, fell Into our hands. Our forces seized provisions of all kinds, and swept on. Great dissatisfsetlon Is said to exist among the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi regiments, and a large number of deserters'are coming Into our lines. Gen. Sherman reached Meridian ten days after leaving Vicksburg. A portion of Gen. Tuttle’# command, which got behind, and was cut off from the expedition, had re turned to Vicksburg. Gen. McArthur was in command of the dlstriot of Vicksburg, Gen. MePherson having accompanied Gen. Sherman, with most of his corps. Belugeei from Mobile report that the Inhabitants of that olty feel secure from any attack. Fifteen thousand rebel troops are reported to be in or about that neighborhood. A sentiment In favor of a reconstruction of the Union prevailed, to a considerable extent, and It would be expressed as soon as the protection of the United States Government was offered. Nothing was known of the reported revolt at Fort Morgan. The report that Gen. Smith’s command of cavalry and mounted infantry, on an expedition into Mis sissippi, had a fight with Forrest’s eavalry near Grenada Is not confirmed. It Is not believed that the guerillas will Jreep up a musketry fire upon the steamers that sail below Memphis.

Previous to the opera this evening, the “Star, spangled Banner ” will be sung by the oempany and chorus. On Thursday evening a complimentary benefit will be tendered to Carl Anschutz, and Kreutzer’s “ Night in Grenada ” will be performed, with Madame Botter, who last season created so favorable an impression In the prlncipsl part. The German -opera has always been exceedingly well patronized here, and perhaps never more so than it will be this evening, Walhut-stbbbt Thbatbe, —“Oliver Twist” was represented on Saturday evening. One or two actresses, not only cultivated to the profession, but Intellectually and socially educated, are so united in our mind with the idea of excellence la the portrayal of Kancy Sykes, that It would be a very unpleasant task to draw comparisons with Miss Western ini that eharaoter. Miss Western per formed with her acaustomed energy and abandon. In every characterization she undertakes she pours her powers as If it were a mould of which she was to give the complete semblance. If her conception has not the effectiveness of perfeot truth and na ture, or If the success of her portraitures does not altogether correspond with her attempts, it Is not the fsult of Miss Western. She is by no means what we would oall a cultivated aetress. She teems to have been educated to mere stage business, and to possess, no other education. She has all the traditional stage-gags at her finger-ends, but she falls very far short of a finished performer. If the only design of Miss Western is to make hay while the sun shines, and to enjoy for a few seasons patronage and postage currency, it is not to be d» nled that she will probably be successful. But ir she wishes to please permanently, and to be remem bered enviably, when she shall have quitted the stage, she must educate herself—not to the mere business of the stage, for of that the already under stands enough—into a more particular knowledge of human nature, and Interpret her conceptions With less dependence upon the adsoititloua aids of professions! trickery. As a whole, Miss Western’s Nancy Sykes was good. The fault so prominent in “East Lynne,” however, was prominent here. In her conversation with Mr. Brownlow, when hie demands that she shall deliver Fagan up, she strains the point which she expects to make, as though it were a glove she WM stretching to fit the- audience. This is the way ahe sets to work: “Give up Fagan?” [Half a minute.] “Give himupl” [A quarter of a minute.] “Glvehimup to the law!” [Three-quarters of a minute] “To the policeman!” [With a a burst.] “To the officers!” [With another burst. Half a minute.] “Oh I no, I—l—l— l couldn’t do that. Dbvil [grand bunt] that he is, I couldn’t give up Fagan ; I couldn’t give up Fagotti'* This scene with Mr. Sroumlaw could be made exceedingly effective, and wat moving even as Miss Weatem went through with It. But bet pauses were so long and ao frequent; the repeated her closing sentences with such perti nacity; after complaining of the bitter cold, the stood for ten minutes unbonneted, twisting her bon net round (just as she twists her shawl in “ East Lynne ”), until it was a wonder there was any bon net left; and She SO confirms the general impression of desiring to make a succession of telling points, rather than present a oraefully studied pioture, In which there shall be a just admixture of light and abade, that her performance of Nancy Sykes cannot be ■et up as a worthy model. Yet Miss Western be trays sneh energy, such a constant desire to please, that it is'to be hoped the glaring faults which now obsoure her noting will in time be corrected. Her first scene was well done. She refused to comply with Fagan (Mr. E. L. Tilton) In the true style,of Nancy Sykes. She sucoumbed to the more persuasive logic of Bill Sykes (Mr. Young) with equaj naturalness. She went into hysterics (a thing Miss Western Is excellent at) over ber 11 little brother Oliver,” and protected him against Fagan's brutality, and wept over him when Bill Sykes was earrying him away previous to the burglary quite effectively. Her appeals to Bill Sykes to be gentle and kind to the boy, and her attachment to the brute she lived with, were all touchingly evinced. Moreover, her part In the murder seene was excellently conceived; and we think her idea of her orawling in and moving ber lips speechlessly, alter her skull Is supposed to have been battered and ber faee is streaming with Imitation blood, however repulsive the scene may have been, was original, truthful, and eminently “telling.” We would advise Miss Western to read Diekens’ “Oliver Twist,” and to adhere as elosely as stage requirements will allow to the last words of poor Nancy When She lifts her upturned rase to bui Sykes, and Implores him to spare her lifo. Mr. Young will feel oompllmented when we Inform him tbat as Bill Sykes he looked every inch a murderer. Miss Jefferson did not lose the reputation she has earned In the character of Little Oliver. Mr. Tilton was as good in Fagin as the prejudices of the audi ence in favor of Wallack, aa Identified with that character, would allow them to think Mm. The young lady who took the part of Base Maylie labored under the impression that Rose Maylie was Intermit tently dumb, or at leait fond of pantomime. The play, generally, progressed with smoothness. This week is announced aa positively the last of Miss Western. At tub Sannbbrbund Grand Annual Ball, this evening, at National Guards’ Hall, “ Inoog* nita,” anew comic opera, will positively be sung by the society, and a very pleasant entertainment may be expected.

An address in reply to the Queen’s speech was adopted in both Houses of Parliament without amendment. In the House of Lords Earl Derby reviewed at length the foreign policy of the Government, con tending that It was Injurious and humiliating to England. The rejection of the Emperor Napoleon’s proposal for a European Congress, and of hi* Invitation to recognize the Government of the Confederate States, together with the fruitless negotiations witn Bussia respecting Poland, and the Interference in the Dano- German difficulty, were severally referred to by Earl Derby, and although he did not oppose the ad dress, he severely censured Earl Bussell’s foreign policy. Earl Bussell, In reply, explained theDano-Ger man difficuly, and showed that England was quite unfettered in the matter, never having given the alighted promise of assistance to Denmark. Earl Grey condemned the bombardment of Hago aima, and thought that Denmark hail been encou raged to look for assistance from England. Earl Granville replied, defending the Govern ment. In the House of Commons Mr. Disraeli spoke in 6 Itmtlnr strain to Earl Derby, assailing the foreign pollay of the Government. Lord Palmerston replied, vigorously defending the course of Earl Bussell. Mr. Gladstone explained that the promise of Eng land to atand by Denmsrk was given under circum stances different from those which control the pre sent war. Mr. Layard read despatches from Austria and Prussia stating that, whatever arrangements might be made relative to Schleswig and Holstein, the great Powers would be consulted. After some other speeches, the address to the Queen was agreed to. In the oourse of his remarks Mr. Disraeli con tended that the Queen’a apeeeh should have made some reference to American affairs, and complained of its alienee on thla and other important subjects. Lord Palmerston replied that the Government could only have repeated what has often been said before, and he could see no necessity for that. Earl Derby, In the House ot Lords, repudiated the idea Of British responsibility for the doings of the Alabama, He trotted that the Ministers had given such an answer to the claim of the Federal Govern ment aa would put an end to suoh monstrous de mands In future. The debate on the Danish question generally In apired more confidence in commercial circles In Eng land, but it waa felt that it by no meant defined what ultimate chape the policy of England would take. “ ■ The Queen’s speech is said to have earned the most bitter disappointment in Denmark. All the English journals treat matters as very un decided, but the majority of them have a pacific leaning. Inthe House of Commons, on the 6th Inst., Mr. Whiteside called attention to the distress in Ireland, and the consequent emigration of fighting men to America. Lord G. Manners expressed the hope that the Government would lose no opportunity In giving friendly advice to the American belligerents, with the view of ending the bloody contest. - The ParUmentary papers relative to Japan esti mate the destruction of property at Kagotima at a million sterling, and fifteen hundred killed. It is stated that the Alexandra ease will be taken before the House of Lords, whatever the decision “f? be of the Exchequer Chambers, it being tbe wish ofall parties to have the law In thla difficult °"e settted by the highest legal authority.

The subject was finally referred to a committee to make a report thereon. THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG. Additional deialls of the attack on Mlssunde give the following particulars: The loss of the Danes In the attack on Mlssunde was from one hundred andflfty to two hundred men. The Prussian loss is variously estimated from one hundred and fifty to three hundred, killed and wounded. Some accounts say that the Prussian lots was mueh greater than this. The Prussian force numbered 9,000, aud that of the Danes about 2,000. Two stormings were attempted by the Prus sians, but they were repulsed, the Danes maintain ing a heavy fire against the storming party. According to one aocount, one Prussian regiment was totally destroyed by the fire of the Danes. The Prussians retired to Eiokenford. On the afternoon of the 3d Inst, the Austrians at tacked Biatorf, one mile south of Schleswig. There was sharp firing until after dark, but the Daues held their own, losing, however, one field-piece, and having a few wounded. Another attack waa expected on the 4th Inst. An attack on Frederickstadt was also expeoted to take place on the 4th inst. The King of Denmark was at Schleswig, and walked towards the outposts during the fighting at Biatorf. - A Hamburg telegram’ of the 4th Inst, says that Prince Frederick Carl is reported wounded in the arm. An attack on the whole Danish line, from Mis aunde to Jagel, was expected to take place on the 4th inst. The Prussian headquarters were at Kropp. The war has already created a suspension of shipping facilities between England and the Baltic. Marshal Wrangel has issued a proclamation to the Schleawigers, saying that the civil commis sioners of Austria and Prussia will assume the ad ministration of the Duchy of Schleswig only, and not, as bad been stated, of Schleswig and Holstein. A semi-official Vienna paper expresses the hope that the explanations just sent by Austria and Prus sia to England will avoid all iurther complications. The London Times says: “ The Biitish Government, a few daya since, made to the two German Powers a proposition which de prived them of [every possible ground for hostilities. England offered to guarantee the fulfillment of the Inquired conditions, and to embody German princi ples, as to the government of Schleswig-Holstein, in the protocol to be signed by the signers of the treaty of 1862. When, therefore, the troops of the two German Powers passed the Eider, those Govern ments knew that all they had demanded had been conceded, and not only conceded but warranted, r,y a first-rate Power, whiett had been the chief adviser or Denmark and possessed She power of enforcing Its own opinions. “Can it then be said that the war on which they have entered is other than useless carnage ? But with the antagonism between the Dane and German, heated by mutual slaughter, we have little hope that moderate counsel will be listened to by either side.” The proceedings on the 3d instant against Schles wig are reported as follows in an offleial from the Piusiian headquarters: . “The Austrian vanguard, led by Gen. Von Gab -16112 in person, with the vanguard of the Prussian Guards, advanced against Schleswig. On the third charge with the bayonet the allies repulsed the Danes'posted between Lotterf and GottorT, and stormed Konigsberg and Oberself. The attacking force captured a rifled gun, and penetrated onward until beneath the fire of theaannon arming the Dan nerwerke. The losses are inconsiderable.” Another account asaerta that the German loss was Very great. The attack was continued the 4th instant, without making muoh impresaion on the Danish lines. One grenade fell Into the town of Schleswig, but the town itielf was barriesded against * coup do main. The King of Denmark had left Schleswig and ar rived at Sonderbeig. BThe loss of the Austrians in the storming of Jagel is stated at 400, including many officers. A false guide conducted the Prussians against the Austrians, and they fired upon each other. An the 6th instant a fall of snow prevented muoh activity among the opposing forces, but there was random firing in the vicinity of Schleswig. The Danes nad altogether about 1,000 hors du oom* bat at Schleswig, viz.: 300 killed and wounded, and 700 ill from Inclement weather. The loss of the Austrians, at the latest date, was 30 officers and 619 men. It is asserted that the Danes have sent cruisers after Prussian vessels. Duke Frederick has been proolaltned at Eceken forde and Schewaugen In Sdbleswig. The Austrian Reiobarath had expressed its sym pathy for the arm; in Schleswig, and granted an extraordinary credit of four millions oi florin*. FRANCE. The Palis correspondent of the London Times ttys: “At a bal), on the 3d inst., the Emperor Napoleon ■aid to a group of marshall and generals: “It ap pears they have begun the exchange of eannon shots In' the North.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET, February 20,1834, Among the measures to stop speculation in gold and depress the price, which are now before Congress, is one authorizing the Secretary to sell the surplus gold in the treasury. The passage of this bill might temporarily effect the price of gold,but would have no permanent re sult. Besides it would have an effect on Government se curities. As long as the people holding five-twenties and other bonds understand that there is a large surplus of gold in the treasury they will feel satisfied that they will receive their Interest in gold as has been promised; but once allow the Secretary to enter the speValative arena and the moral effect would he certain to depreciate Go vernment bonds. The public would not know whether there was gold in the treasury or not, and they would be justified in thinking the worst. A general sale of bonds might be expected immediately on the passage of the bill, and those who thought iho investment the safest, are those who have the greatest horror of anything like speculation, and they would be the first to soft rid of their bonds. It la a good thing for our nation al credit that the Committee of Ways and Means have reported hack the bill with "a recommendation that it do not pass. ” The money market continues easy, and rates are nn* cfcangec. Government securities are firm and In heavy demand. The ttock market was stronger. but without special eh&B ge or extraordinary activity.
