From, the Bound. Table,
The religions element was conspicuous In hUttAto.ro.
The natural leeiing of and love for the divine was deep
and strong. It was cherished in childhood. HU earliest
years were occupied largely with thoughts of God, and
with aspirations, confessions and prayers.
From the Boston Post. .
In his comments on literary men and their works, his
wealth of readitg andinoislveiateuect show themselves.
We have no American like him -none his eqnal in this

cotemporaries. _
From, the Chicago Journal.
It was fitting that suGh a man eheuln Nave a postlm

work of Mr. Weiss teeme to have been judicionsly writ

for his subject sentiments of the highest admiration.
From the Troy Whig.
Thesetwobardsome volumes, so well and thoroughly
written and edited, are a fitting monument to each a

realm of chaos, but he believed rather that all advance

The volumes have ripened slowly during the nearly
four years that have elapsed since tb»t life they eo»-

luily read. Set alike in the hearts or friends and foes, of
those who cling to bis memory with unwavering love,
and those who regard b a teachings with unmitigated
abhorrence, lies a consciousness that he was a man of
mark, a man whose life contains a lesson not lightly to
be pasted^ y ‘ Fromtlie Philadelphia Press.
This biography of Theodore Parker exhibits him as

This work is a reflex of the living ego, aud as such
will be sought and studied by the reading public; since

New Publications.
A beautiful and complete edition of Shelley’s
Poems, in two volumes—matching with the Keats,
lately Issued by the same publishers—has just been
issued by Little, Brown, &00, of Boston. The ar
rangement is that adopted by Mm. Shelley, and her
noies on the various poems, which she properly
made biographical, are also preserved. There is a
well-written Memoir of SheUey, by Professor J. R.
Lowell, which relates the story of the Poet’s life Up
'to the time of his finally leaving England for Italy—
the reader being referred to Mrs. Shelldy’s Notes
for particulars from that time tohis death. The first
complete edition of Shelley, in this country, w»b
published by Mr. John Grigg, many years ago—
SheUey, Keats, and Coleridge being brought out
together in an Svo volume.
From .T. B. Lippineott & 00. we have the elo
quent and patriotic Address of the Hon. Edward
Everett, on the 19!h of last November, at the Con
secration of the National Cemetery at (Gettysburg.
It has been brought out (pp. 89, octavo,) by Little,
Brown, & 00., Boston. In addition to Mr. Everett’s
touching and noble oration, we here have an ac-_
count of the origin and history of the undertaking,
a map of the battle field, a plan of the cemetery,
correspondence respecting the consecration, the
hymn by B. B. French, the dirge by Percival, with
music by Alfred Lincoln’s Dedi
catory Speech, tbe speech made by Mr. Seward,
and the Prayer by the Rev. T. H. Stockton. This
record of a solemn national event will pass into our
history, and ia worthy oi being placed and preserved
In, this permanent form.
Mr. Oarleton, New York, has published two vo
lumes—namely, a second portion of the Diary of
Adam Gurowski, and the Life, Adventures, Services,
Speeches, Songs, and other misfortunes of Private
Miles O’Reilly. One of these volumes is badly
written and badly purposed; the other is lull of life,
fun, eccentric character, humor, and wit. (Jurow.
slti is a sort of literary Ishmael, with his hand
against every body, but O’Reilly is full of spirit,
good nature, and patriotism. Gurowski, while oc
cupying r-smalL office in the Department of State,
which was charitably given to his necessity by Mr.
Seward, devoted bis leisure to the ooncootion of a
diary in which his benefactor was ridiculed and
abused, while, at the same time, he penned riiircule
and abuse of the President, Generals HaUeoh, Bum
side, MoOlellan, and others. O'Reilly, even when In
confinement for a poetical breach of military dis
cipline, kept his good temper, and only put his Pe
gasus into a faster trot. Gurowski. is a reality, and
O’Reilly a my th—would, for the honor of mankind,
that Gurowski, with his venom, tremendous self
conceit, and rank ingratitude, were the myth, and
that Private Miles O’Reilly were the reality. Gu
rowski’s ill-natured diatribes were born to be forgot
ten, but O’Reilly’s book is destined to remain as a
lively specimen of the wit and humor of the war.
We believe that the New York Herald invented
O’Reilly—at least most of his book first appeared in
that veracious journal. The min who will not, or
cannot, laugh at the O’Reilly banquet and at the
O’Reilly presentation to the President, ought not to
be trusted. The book, too, has the advantage of
many comic illustrations, by Mullin, which present
and represent Miles O’Reilly is various phases—
with all Adam Gurowski’s amour propre he did not
venture to put the “ counterfeit presentment ” of his
own countenance into his book as an embellishment.
Whoever has to wile away a heavy hour, let him
read Miles O’Reilly and laugh.
T. B. Peterson & Brother have sent us a i2mo.
volume, containing “The Life, Campaigns, and
Services of General McClellan.” It has been com
piled from various sources, his own voluminous re
port to the War Office being largely laid under con
tribution. The biographer, it is fair to say, has
done his work very impartially. He cannot be ac
cused of writing in a stilted manner, inasmuch as
One Of bis headings runs in this free-and-easy man
ner : " ‘ Little Mac’- relieved from command.” . The
publication is a fair resume of McClellan's public
career, and includes even his last speech of a dozen
linee at New York, bn the JBth inst. ir the narra
tive, at timec, may be considered rather too lauda
tory, let it be remembered that it ia largely made up
from General McClellan’s own Report.
Thirty-two years ago, a great public controversy
was held, in this city, by the Rev. John Hughes, of the
Church of Rome, and the Rev. John Breokinridge,
of the Presbyterian Church. The question thenar
. guedwas: "Is the Protestant Religion the Religion
of Christ!” The disoussion was written, not oral,
and, aa usual, the victory was claimed for both de
baters. It is a fact, not new in religious controversy,
that both the combatants occasionally lost their tem
per. The discussion, which appeared in two news
papers of this city, occupies 473-octavo pages of close
print, and has repeatedly been republished. A fifth
edition, much neater than any which preceded it, has
been issued by Eugene Cummiskey, 260 South Sixth
street, and Is well-timed, la consequence of the recent
' death Ol Archbishop Hughe*. It la nut too much to
Bay that the «b:’'tydi«playe<l by Mr. Hughes, In this
dUeustlon, led to'Sia selection as Bishop, and finally
Archbishop, of New York.
Mr. F. Leypoldt, of this city, has brought out, in
his usually tasteful style, a little tome of 62 pages,
entitled 11 Yier Amerikanlsche Gedlohte, uebersetzt
von Carl Theodor Eben,” which, being interpreted,
means that Mr, Eben has translated font American
poems into German verse, carefully retaining the
original metre. These poems are Foe’s Raven, The
Bells, and Leonoie, with The Rose, by James Rus
sell Dowell. A volume of such translations would
be a great help to all students of German, as well as
acceptable to those well acquainted with that lan
guage. Mr. Eben’s translations are spirited as well
as faithful.
Blok & Fitzgerald, New York, have lately pub
lished several new books. One of these is “ The
Perfect Gentleman,” a literary olla podrida of eti
quette and eloquence, professing to tell how gentle*
men ought to conduct themselves in private and in
public—how to preside at meetings, social ami poli
tical, and what sort of speeches to make, as well as
what toasts to give.—“ The Parlor Magician,” lite
rally a book for all seasons, shows how the most sur
prising feats In “ white magic” are done, 'the expla
nations being made clear, by over one hundred en
gravings. This little hand-book will readily make
any Intelligent lad perform nearly all the atartling
sleight-of-hand feats which constitute parlor magic.
Apparatus Is not required. The explanation of the
-Wizard’s Chain, (whereby apparently solid rings
' are made to link with each Other,) as given here, is
worth the price of the book, thrice told.—Hillgrove’s
Ball-Boom Guide and Practical Dancer, by a New
York “Professor” of the art, contains descriptions,
set off with numerous engravings, of all fashionable
dances, with instructions as to deportment and eti
quette at public and private parties.—Lastly, we
have to notice that Dick & Fitzgerald have pub
lished the “Diary olaDetectivePolice Officer.” This,
as we learn from notioes in the English newspapers,
Is a collection of true Incidents in the experience of
a London Detective, whose non de flume is “ Wa
ters.” Indeed, we recollect the leading points of se
veral of the narratives here, as published when the
fasts occurred, the secret history being given now.
The last story here (pp. 133,198), entitled “ The Sto
len Letter,” ie not by “ Waters.” It is taken, with
out acknowledgment, from an old Christmas num
ber of Household Words, and was written by Charles
Dickens. All these books have been received from
Peterson & Brothers.
1864.
The magazines keep coming in. Harpers' for
March is an excellent number, with a great many
original novelettes, and, as usual, some pieces de re
sistance, in the shape of solid, sensible articles, hand
somely illustrated. These are Mr. Lossing’s Scenes
in. the War of 1812, (the British raid on Washington
and Baltimore,) and a description of the Norwich
armories. Meisrs. Harper announce that, b; special
arrangement with Charles Diokens, his new novel,
to appear serially, will be given In Harper’s Magn-
Sine Simultaneously with its publication In England.
It will be commenced in April or May. Peterson's
todies’ Magazine is more thsn usually attractive.
The frontispiece, ‘a steel .engraving entitled “ Morn
ing,” represents a charming demoiselle attired for an
ante-meridian walk In the country. The letter-press
is varied and readable. The March number of The
Lady's Friend has a frontispiece entitled “The Pet
Bird,” better designed than engraved, and a double
plate of colored faehlons. We like the plan here of
Illustrating (the letter-press with wood engravings.
By far the best story here (“ The False Arrest,” by
Eleanor C. Donnelly,) is thus illustrated.
Omissions m» McOi.iet.lan’s Repobt.—General
MoClellan’s official report omits all those despatches
that he sent to Washington, and which were pub
lished during his pursuit of the enemy from York
town. One dated May 4th declared with beaming
confidence : “ I shall push the enemy to the wall.”
Another to Mr. Stanton, same date, declares “ the
enemy’s rear is strong, but I have forces enough up
there to ensure all purposes.” No oomplalut here
about want of troops. The very neat despatoh,
however, dated the next day, when it was apparent
he had lost bis opportunity, declared that Johnson’s
army bad made A stand, that his force was Inferior,
that he would “hold them in oheok until be could
resume his original plan.” The despatch immedi
ately prior to tiffs says nothing about the original
plan, and declares: “I am now satisfied of the cor
rectness of the course I have pursued. The success
was brilliant, and you may rest assured .that its
effect will be of the greatest importance. There
will be no delay in following the enemy." Quite a
different thing from holding them “in check.”
The Veiled Pbophet op Dixie.—ls theie not a
certain resemblance between the rebel leader and
Moore’s arch-fiend, Makannal Listen to his late
appeal—bis endeavor to raise their drooping spirits,
and then read Makanna’s last “ proclamation,” thus
heralded by the poet:
“ Makanna sees the world is his no more;
One sting at parting, and his grasp is o’er.
* What 1 drooping now 1’ thus with unblushing cheek
Be hails the few who yet can hear him speak,
Of all those famished slaves around him dying.
• What 1 drooping now 1 Now, when at length we
press
Home o’er the very threshold of sueeess j
When Allah from our ranks hss thinned away
Those grosser branches that kept out his ray
Of favor from us, and we stand at length
Heirs of his llghtand children of his jtrength,
The chosen few who shall survive the fall
Of kings and thrones, triumphant over all!
Have you then lost, weak murmurers that you are,
All feith in him who was your light, your start’ ”
If in no other point, Jeff Davis certainly resem
bles the impostor in the extent of his "unblushing
cheek." . -
Geskbal Gbant.— The St. Louis Republican, a
paper likely to be well informed, says: “ General
Gnpt is not going to trouble himself much con
cerning these movements of politicians. It is not
to bis taste. His Intention is to dose the wares
soon as possible, and he wants to be foot-loose, not
hampered by any political entanglements. He asks
no other duty now. He is not, and will not be, a can
didate for the Presidency at the forthcoming election, and
politicians may trim their sails accordingly.”

LATER FROM HEW ORLKA&S.
General gieiman’s "Viotoirloiis
March Through Missiasipqii.
Tunnel Hif,t,Ga., Feb.24.-Gu Monday a strong
column of infantry, preceded by oavalry, movedout
from Chattanooga, near tbe -old battle*field of
Cbickamauga, and took the direct route for Tumsel
Hill and Dalton. Generals Palmer, Johnson, Baird,
Davis, and Carlin direoted the movement of tbe
whole, While Colonel Harrison, of fee 39th Indiana,
Colonel Palmer,- of the 13th Pennsylvania, and
Colonel Boone, of the 28;h, (superintended the opera
tions of the cavalry.
The force advanced without opposition east of the
Cbickamauga, across whioh and back through Ring
gold’s Gap and Taylor’s Rldgo> party of rebel
cavalry were driven he confusion by Col. Harrison.
The head of tbe oolumn, marched on and’rested at
Ringgold during the night..
The movement was-recommenoed yesterday morn
ing. The cavalry in- advance had several lively
skirmishes with the enemy's mounted force, con
sisting of the Ist Tennessee (rebels). 'They were,
however, continually pushed baok until about four
P, ffi., when our forces oame in sight of Tunnel HUI.
Here a conflict commenced in which a great deal
of fighting was done, 1 spd'especlaiiy by the enemy,
but with little lose oji-cithc* side.
Colonel Hanlson having pushed far toward the
front, and seeing that the enemy much outnumbered
bis force, retired until he was met by onr infantry ad.
vanclng. Certain of support, he again pressed for
ward, and drove the rebels precipitately out of the
town Of Tunnel Hill, on Tunnel Run Ridge.
Tbe enemy had an entire brigade of cavalry, un,
der the charge of General Wheeler himself, with
four pieces of artillery, and, opening upon us from
the latter, our progress was cheeked, our own artil
lery not being up. They directed their fire princi
pally at Colonel Boone, who, with his eavairy, had
advanced upon Colonel Harrison’s right.
It being now dark, our advance retired about four
miles toward Dslton to await supplies. In the
meantime General Stanley’s sommand (General
Gralte temporarily commanding) advanced from the
vicinity of Cleveland, preceded by a cavalry force,
under Colonel Long, of the 4th Ohio Cavalry. The
latter is said to have penetrated within three milea
of Dalton, to-day.
Yesterday forenoon, about ten o’olock, the ad
vance was again resumed, portions of Johnson’s,
Baird’s, and Davis’ commands moving forward on
the main road from Ringgold toward Tunnel HUL
No skirmishing of any consequence took place, un
til, at half past eleven, we found ourselves in the
Immediate vioinity of the town of Tunnel Hill.
Here it soon- became evident that the rebels were
resolved on making a stand. The oavalry had ad
vanced some distance ahead o! the infantry, but as
soon as the latter was up in sufficient numbers to
support, tbe eavairy advanced in column along the
road in plain view of the hill on which the rebel
cannon were planted the day before.
No enemy had as yet been observed, when sudden-
ly a battery planted on a hill to the right of the tun
nel opened, and a number of shell were thrown with
great accuracy immediately into our ranks. Seve
ral were killed and wounded. General wnippie
narrowly escaped death from the near exploeloaof
a shell.
No confusion was oreated, however, and the ca
valry retired to shelter. Other portions of the in
fantry came up, and were deployed in line.
Meantime, our artillery came up, and Captain
Hotcbkisc’ Minnesota Battery, playing two ten
pounder Parrotts on an eminence to fee right of the
load, opened on the enemy with some offset, lessen,
ed, however, by the apparent imperfection of the
shells', but few of which exploded.
Captain Harris, of tbe 19th Indiana Battery, after
ward placed two of his pieces in the field tif the left
of the rbad, and assisted in dislodging the rebel bat
tery from its position.
Our infantry began to advance, General Morgan
takteg vhe rebels on the right flank, and boldly
marching along tbe crest of Tunnel Hill, completely
turning tbe workß of the enemy, who fled without
firing a gun. Their retreat was rendered more ne
cessary, as Colonel Ksmbright’g advanoc threatened
their left flank.
Our whole line moving forward, we occupied with*
out further contest the ridge of Tunnel Hill. Alt
along its crest were tolerably formidable works of
stone and logs, and on the eastern side were the de
serted camps of Claiborne’s division.
It was now 4 o’clock P. M., and the rebels fled
rapidly along the Dalton road. Our troops pursued
without further fighting, until within three miles of
Dalton, when the rebels'were found very strongly
posted in a gorge between high and precipitous
ranges of mountains, called Hooky Fall. Through
tbia gorge ran the common road and the railroad.
Our advance was met by a sharp mußketry fire.
This was replied to with such effect that the first
rebel line wbb dislodged and driven baok on the se.
cond.
Immediately after the enemy commenced a furious
fire of shot and shell from six pieces of artillery,
which compelled our skirmishers to retire. The fire
was kept up with vigor until sundown, Gen. Davis
advancing with McCook’s and Morgan’s brigades,
and taking up a position at the mouth of the gorge.
Night now came on, and the eombat ended. We
may have heavy fighting to-morrow, until we, in
some way, turn the enemy’s position, which now
seems scarcely practicable.
The loss on both sides, during these important
operations, has been BmaU
CxtiCiKHATi, Feb. 26.— The Gazette has received a
despatch!!omGhaitanooga,whioh says: The advance
force of Grant’s army was within three miles of
Dalton on the 24th.
The rebels were driven from Tunnel Hill and pur
sued till nightfall.
It waß not improbable that a severe battle would
take place at Dalton, -
Hardee and Claiborne’s divisions had been sent to
reinforce Folk.
; SKIRMISH NEAR BUZZARD’S ROOST.
Louisville, Feb. 26.—A special to the Journal,
from near Buzzard’s Roost, in Georgia, dated the
25th, at 9.30 P. M., says that Craft, in the valley
beyond (Rocky Fall, found the enemy In heavy
force, and awaits reinforcements. Morgan and
McCook are feeling the enemy at Buzzard’s Roost,
and skirmishing Is very Ilvdy in that quarter.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
New Yobk, Feb. 26 —The steamer Evening Star
has arrived with New Orleans advices of the 20th,
via Havana on the 220.
Two Union soldiers, named Welts, of the 9th Illi
nois Cavalry, and Ferguson, of the 6th Illinois Ca
valry, who were captured on December 6th, at
Moscow, Tenn., had arrived at New Orleans. They
escaped from prison, at Oahawba. Ala., and walked
through the country at night, being without food for
six days. On reaching East Escambia Bay, Florida,
they were taken onboard a schooner bound to Pen
sacola, and thence were seat to New Orleans. They
report the woods full of refugees from the eonsoript
officers, and patrols, with bloodhounds, on all the
principal roads.
The rebel papers report Gen. Sherman’s maroh
through Mississippi a triumphsnt affair, the rebels
being badly whipped wherever they attempted a
stand. No returns of losses on either side are made,
except that Adams’rebel cavalry lost 200 at Jack*
son.
Two thousand loyal citizens had written to Gen.
Banks, asking him to speak in public on polltlos.
He deelined, on the ground that he did not wish to
seem to throw military authority into the politi
cal balance.
There is no news of importance from Texas. A
report says that Colonel Dudley’s cavalry brigade
are about to go there ; per contra, transports have
been sent to Pass OavaUo to bring away 6,000 troops.
A* all events, there are indications of active move
ments.
Advices from Havana state that General Dulee
has resigned. Tho clue is unknown.
The steam transport Fatroon, from New York,
put into Havana for coal.
The large sugar stores of Garcia & Co. were burned
on the night of the 13th instant.
Advices from San Domingo state that the Spanish
troops have taken possession of the towns of Nerva
and Barrahorin, aided by two war steamers. The
towns were in ashes when the troops entered.
- News from Caracas reports the entry of General
Falcon as President of Venezuela.
The transport Belvldere had arrived at New Or
leans from Pensacola. She brings the news that
the Hartford and other vessels were lying at anchor
there. The 29th and- 30th Maine Regiments had ar
rived’ and left for the Attakapas country. The
presence of two or three Confederate gunboats in
Grand Lake shows that the rebels are again up and
doing there. General Blok Taylor commands the
Confederate forces.
THE WAB.
Reports by General Lee’s Orderly.
General Lee’s orderly, a deserter, was before the
War Department to-day. His statements were fully
credited; He said that during the winter furloughs
have been granted to the soldiers liberally to go
home to all portions of the South, to recruit and en
deavor to fill up the regiments.
Lee expects our army to be ready Cor operations by
the middle of March, at which time he has ordered
all the men to be back. The strength of the rebel
army is about 26,000. Stuart’s oavalry Is complete
ly u«ed up. Horses have suffered during the winter
lor forage, and many have been sent South to win
ter. They do not anticipate any movement from
Meade. ,
The last movement whlabrwe made was oommuni
sated to Lee the day before it was commenced by
Seeeth citizens, and the next day additional evi
dences leacbedLee that it was nothing but a femt,
and Lee at once, commenced sending troops ny rau
to Ricbmond to head off General Butler before any
of our men had arotsed the Bapldan. HeeMeots
by March or April to have 60,000 men, with whom
he will hold in check any advance of our army, or
drive It backward to Washington and again Invade
Pennsylvania.— Tribune, Feb. 2«.
A NEW LEADER.
Among the new leadera I notice General Hood,
who. having entirely recovered from his wound, is
™inted out as Breckinridge’s probable auooesior iu
the command ofthc 2J Cofps. Alick H. Stewart, of
Tennessee, and T. Patton Anderson, grandson-of
General Adair, of Kentueky, are to set as his two
division officers. Another general who had been
temi orarlly deprived of his eommand for an infrao.
tion of discipline, General MoOown, has been re
aloud to Wa iotmei <ttvMon. It appqK* that tomb
THREE CENTS.
Urns after the battle of Shelbyville, when Brass was
in full reheat upon Obattanooßa, an order was
leaned prohibiting officers to aend off any detach*
went without the assent of the general-in-chief
Bat MoCown, feigning to ignore the order, directed
tome of hU men to go to mobile in search of eotfee

Cown’a time having expired, he hat just reiamed

RICHMOND PERSONAM.
The Richmond papers now nearly always have in

ABUT OF THE POTOMAC.
The Supper of the First New Jerseyßsgi-
[Correspondence of The Press. 1
Tho ball of the 3d Corps has engrossed! the
attention of the public for some time, almost to the
total exclusion cf the supper given by the officers of
the Ist New Jersey Regiment.
In company with Albert W. Markley, E«ij., of
Camden, bis wife and mother, Hon. George T. Cobb
and wife, and Hon. T. S. Allison, formerly Secretary
of State of New Jersey, and daughter, for whom
special accommodations bad been provided on the
train, we started from Washington on Monday morn
ing for the eamp. In due time we readied Brandy
Station, where a committee of the officers was wait
ing to receive us and convey us to the regiment. Af
ter ourselves we were Shown
around the vicinity of this ouipost regiment, and
saw many things to interest us.
At eight o’clock'the guests and the officers met,
and proceeded to a large tent elected for the purpose
of the evening. .Full justice was done to the many
excellent things provided, and we saw not the leaßt
evidence of the presence of “hard taok;” on the
contrary, we had a aupper that would not have dis
graced Willard’s or the Continental. After the re
moval of the cloth, tho regular toasts of the evening
were read by Quartermaster Reed, who presided
very ably, and reponded to, tho drat, being “The
day we celebrate; the sacred memory of Washing
ton: may we ever emulate his virtues.” This was
drank in silence, and standing. Among the regular
toasts were: “The President of the United States, a
wise, sagacious, and prudent Executive, a truß repre
sentative of the people. ”
This was responded to in B very eloquent
and patriotic speech, by John Hill, Esq., of New
Jersey. “The Constitution of the United States,:*
saored instrument, bequeathed to us by our noble
sites, to establish, maintain, and perpetuate free
dom throughout the land,” whioh was responded to
by Msjor Silgreaveß, cf New Jersey. “ The Go
vernment of the United States: a system of govern
ment established upon the will of the governed, the
people holding the prerogative to remove from
cfllce unfaithful servants, in opposition to the idea
that men rule by • Divine right,’ or that the king
can do no wrong.” “Thejudioiary of our country: the
great tribunal whose prerogative It is to determine
all questions calculated to alienate and divide a free
people,” which was responded to in a very happy
manner by Hon. George T. Cobb. “Our flag, the
glorious stars and stripes: may it wave the
emblem of freedom as long as the red blool
shall course in the veins of a true Ameri
can, the while harvests shall mark the season's
sure return, or the brilliant stars shall bedeolr.lhe
blue canopy of heaven.” “The true frienda of the
soldiers,” was responded to In a very felicitous mau
nerby Hon. S. F. Headley, of New Jeiscy, who in a
very feeling way alluded to the presence of Mrs.
Markldy, a lady who had seen sixty-three winters,
and who had given- two sons to the cause of her
country, and had plied her needles constantly for
almost three years for Ihe benefit Of the soldier, and
would do to if her life should be spared till the close
of this wicked rebellion, closing with a toast to this
venerable and patrlotlo lady. “ The Ladies,” “ The
Press,” and “ The Memory of the Lamented Dead,”
were not forgotten, and were responded to appro
priately. There were volunteer toasts, which
brought out speeches from many of those present.
General Torbert, and Colonels Henry, Penrose,
Wiebeoke, and ethers, made speeches. Altogether
the supper was a success, and the speeohes were
noble, outspoken words of patriotism and devotion
to our Government and to universal freedom. It
will long be remembered by those present as a happy
time, and will do muoh to encourage the brave men
who have left their homes to do more for the cause
of their country. The festivities of the evening
were enlivened by the Brigade Band, one of the best
in the service.
REVIEW OV THB BIMH CORES.
On Tuesday General Sedgwick reviewed the Sill
Corps, of which he i» commander. We had the
pleasure of viewing the spectacle from a fine posi
tion near General Sedgwick. Though we do not
wish to be invidious, we must say the Jersey Bri
gade—who can boast proudly of a Montgomery and
a Kearny—looked every inch soldiers as they
marched out, taking the lead of the column headed
by the gallant General Torbert. It was a grand
and imposing sight to the hundreds or olvlUans pre
sent to see the stalwart forms of these sunburnt!
veterans marching past with steady tread and flrm_
front, their bayoneta glistenihg in the sunbeams,
and their tattered and battle-tom flags streaming
proudly In the breeze, floating defiantly and warn
ingly to all traitorß, that though that starry flag
might be tattered and torn, it never has been, nor
never would be, dishonors d j and though it has
failed, thus far, In floating over the rebel capital, the
day will soon come when
<< That old flag shall gleam,
In the morning's flrst beam,
From every spire In Richmond.”

A Matter of Beer and Justice.
To the Editor of The Press :
Sir: I notice, in the account ol the County Trea
surer, « credit Of $85,50 claimed as paid for ten bar
rels of lager beer, given to the tetth Regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers upon their return home.
Now, inasmuch as great pains was taken .by some
of our newspapers to inform the citizens of Beading
that it was the great liberality of a gentleman, who
presented it to the soldlera, I would like to know by
what authority the County Treasurer has takeu
credit for it, and charged the tax payers of the
county with thß same $85,601 Perhaps Mr. I-auer,
or the County Commissioners can wUin
