Mr. Fbaecib Blair said in the House on Saturday that the Radicals of Missouri were false to their principles. It this be true, there is all the more reason why the Radi cals of other States should be true. The Tri lune asserts that the “liberal Germans” are not only opposed to the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, but that a portion of the par ty-will even refnse to vote for him after his nomination. “The clubs of radical Ger mans in Detroit, Michigan, and Davenport, lowa, have very emphatically declared that such is their purpose.” If this be so, then the “liberal Germans ” are anything but Union men, and are entitled to not tha slightest consideration in a Union Conven tion. They are, in fact, very illiberal Ger- j maBS, who announce at this early day their | determination to make the defeat of a favo rite candidate a pretext for seeking the ruin of a great cause. We hold to the great principle that there is no reason why those who individually prefer General Butler, or Mr. Chase, or Gen. Fremont for the Pre sidency should not frankly say so—-just as frankly as the Legislatures of Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Maryland, and other States, declared a preference for Air. Lin coln. But suppose either of these Legisla tures had appended a resolution advising the people of their States hot to vote for Mr. Chase, or Generals Butler or Fre mont, in case either of those gentlemen should be nominated. Would not this be the very extreme of illiberality ? Yet, this is precisely what the clubs of radical Germans in Detroit and Davenport have done, and what the Tribune quotes without a word of disapproval. If there is one truth in which the American people believe, one creed to which they are pledged, it is this—that the cause is dearer to them than the dearest cf its leaders. And this is the only creed worthy of the people and the times. The principle of Union, which makes the war a holy crusade, governs and inspires the Whole nation, should govern and inspire every loyal legis- | lature and club in the country, and deter mine even the action of a ward committee. The gentlemen who say “ vve will not vote for this or that man if nominated,' ’ repudiate the very soul of the whole struggle. They make the war a mockery, and patriotism a myth. It is impossible to believe they have ever been sincere, when we find them eo intensely enthusiastic for men that they are cold and indifferent to the cause. In the Union Convention at Baltimore, next June, delegates may vote for Mr. Lincoln or General Fremont, but in the November elections they will vote for the Union itself. It is well to remember that, although one man may be to us as Washington was to our fathers, no man can he greater than the cause. We wish to be absolutely just, and, therefore, begin with principles and end with men. Con vinced that Abraham Lincoln is the choice of the people, we should _ blush to say that General Butler should hot have our votes if General Butler should he nominated. The Tribune might say as much to its very liberal Germans. But, the reports which have deceived the Tribune are evidently prophecies which, by influencing public credulity, are expected to fulfil themselves. Topersuade a healthy man that he is sick, and send him really sick to bed, it is only necessary that his friends should unite in telling him that he never looked so badly in all his life. If the poli ticians who are bent upon opposing the radical German vote to Mr. Lincoln can get the Tribune, and other influen tial journals, to tell the radical Germans that they are opposed to him, it is very like ly that some of them will believe it. To create a fact, assume that it exists. In il lustration of this truth, we find the President continually spoken of in certain journals as opposed to an absolute anti-slavery policy, while the history of his Administration, the evidence of his own words and actions,con clusively prove that there is not a man living who more nobly represents the radi cal principles of freedom than he. His name is signed to the Emancipation Proclamation, and there is no pen able to draw a dark line over that sun-illumined signature. Governor Curtin’s Proclamation. Tie proclamation of Governor Curtin cannot, or at least should not, fall unheeded upon tlie ears of any. He has appealed to the men of Pennsylvania in a language ■which it trill be for their ovra honor to heed. Pennsjlvanian soldiers areto be Pennsyl vanian soldiers, and are not to be accredited to- any other State. If our State is the Keystone State, let her soldiers show them selves to be Keystone soldiers, and letthem support the Union in their own name, the only name which they honestly can wear. The brave boys of Pennsylvania, who have already done so much, ghould be too tetchy in regard to the honor which so justly ac crues to them to allow it to be usurped and monopolized by the sons of any other State. Governor Curtin calls to them in .ac cents which cannot be misconstrued, and with the utmost patriotism and common sense. It would be sad and disheartening to be compelled to believe that, for a mere consideration of money, many cases have occurred where brave wwi have bartered old positions of honor for new ones which impartial comrades canhot con-' sider altogether honorable. But if there are no other reasons which will induce them to iorego enlisting in other States than their them inform themselves, or at least «ad the provisions which their own State is ma mg foT them. Honor to whom honor is due is a rule which works both ways. *** Pennsylvania soldiers have their due no more and no less, if enlistments of Pennsylvania soldiers are accredited to other States, the due which our braveboys will receive will not, cannot, be such as they would otherwise obtain. But we entertain too lofty and undivided an opinion, not only of the bravery, but of the keen sense of honor and justice of the soldiers of Pennsylvania, to believe that the examples of the past will workthemselveß Into a system. "We would fain believe that the cases are few and far between, but we cannot, for in that case the proclamation of Governor Curtin would not be so peremp tory. But we can readily believe that a lit tle forethought will inniitin the scales of mo tive to the side of prudence, and that the refined sense of what is honorable, just, and right, will soon predominate in the breaßts of our courageous soldiery. They have acted with such unexampled nobleness hi therto, that Pennsylvania naturally looks for a continuation of such gallantry, and neither Pennsylvania nor Governor Curtin nor onr own expectations, will be deceived, The Ifavy Yard and Pennsylvania, Mr. Btbybns said very truly, during the debate upon the choice of the new navy yard, in the Douse, last week, that the re presentatives of Pennsylvania do not advo cate League Island selfishly or from State pride. The establishment of a great iron clad navy yard is intended for the nation, not for a State, and it is but fair to suppose that such men aB Mr. Stevens understand the original purpose of the Government, and are faithful to the general interests. Judge Kelley, Mr. O’Neill, Mr. Randall, and others, urge League Island as the best loca tion the country possesses for a great naval station, and if they urge it earnestly they do so intelligently. Precisely because they are Pennsylvanians they have better oppor tunities for knowing the advantages of League Island than the gentlemen from Con necticut-, and if those who understand values do not advocate them, by whom shall they be advocated ? We cannot ex pect the delegation from Kentucky, which is necessarily comparatively ignorant Ot the character of League Island, to give an ab solute opinion of its fitness. There, there fore, is something singularly illogical in the argument that, because the majority of the Pennsylvania delegation state the great manufacturing, commercial, and geographi cal advantages of League Island with, alt fleamess and completeness, they are actu ated by the selfish desire to obtain a great benefit- for their State. Whatever care Mr. Stevens, Judge Kelley, and their col leagues, may have for the interests oi Penn sylvania, we are very sure that in this matter they must know that they a*s« re sponsible to every State in the Union. The question is not, shall New London or Phi ladelphia be favored, but shall the whole country be benefited? It is upon this ground that the matter is argued, and upon this ground only should Congfess determine the site. Travellers have not, as a class, a high reputation for veracity, and the “golden opinions’* which have been expressed in regard to Idaho have become very contra dictory. Some one says there is not enough gold in the whole Territory to pay the ex pense of getting the emigrants back home. Another one adds that the mines of Cali fornia are much richer than those of Idaho, and that, in the latter country, they occupy a very limited space, and are poor at that. Between the extreme views of differently prejudiced travellers, we must adopt the usual just mean. The reference in the Presi dent’s message to the mineral resources of Colorado, fievada, Idaho, New Mexico, and Arizona Territories having proved greater than was at first supposed, is not founded upon imagination. But, if Idaho iB made the subject of detraction because of confused reports respecting her golden mines, Nova Scotia, on the other hand, is raised proportionately high. Prof. Silbanian’s report says: “The thick ness of its auriferous veins is perhaps less than those of California and some other j countries, but they are, generally speaking, i richer in visible gold than the average of I those I have seen in any other part of the ! world. It must also be taken into eonside- j ration that Nova Scotia possesses many de- i eided advantages over both California and Australia.’’ The gold districts in the neighborhood of Halifax are represent ed as exceedingly productive. But, be cause it may be true that there is gold in Nova Scotia, it is not necessarily untrue that there is an equal quantity else- ; where. All the mineral eapabilities'of our Western districts are such as will influence j emigration, and make it flow as through the ■ channel of a river in their direction. LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL.” Washington, - Feb. 2S, 1864. ! Tie splendid combinations and rapid j marches of Grant and Sherman, in Georgia ■ and Alabama, have added to the agonizing solicitude of the traitors, and increased the confidence and the determination of the Union people, in and out of the army. ! However Sherman’s expedition may result, Cand the fears of the enemy confirm the good promises sent forward by onr friends in that distant field that all will be well,; the character of his advance, and the mag nificence of liis campaign, will always stand to his credit in the volume of public memory and in the printed histories of the times. Should he succeed, his example will compel imitation in other not less important military departments. Should Grant be able to defeat Johnston and Longstreet, and expel the rebels from Eastern Tennessee, and should Sherman’s comprehensive pro gramme be carried out, the great conspiracy will be scattered in' all the Southwest. Florida taken from the traitors by Gilmore, and Texas cleansed and purged by Dana’ Eastern Virginia will once more become the great battle-field of the war. The rebellion can never be . effectually sup pressed until a great victory is won on that theatre, by the Army of the Po tomac, unless, indeed, the loss oi the enemy’s strongholds in the Southwest shall force them to abandon that heretofore im portant ground, and to give up Richmond and the whole of the sacred soil of the Old Dominion, to the "Vandals” and "Yan kees.” It is at Richmond that the traitor ous leaders most do congregate. Once let that nest be captured, there will be no abiding place for these birds of evil omen. Butler may strike the rebel capital from his garrison; but upon the Army of the Poto mac the glorious work of finishing the rebel lion will chiefly devolve. Occasional To-night Henry Ward Beecher will lecture at tbe Academy of Music upon a subject of especial interest, of which he is especially fitted to speak. To Mr. Beeohee’s visit to England, and his eloquent and irre sistible argument for the United States, is greatly due the growth of intelligent Euro pean sympathy with the. Union, and that he Will deliver “ America’s Message to Great Britain” faithfully and with empha sis, none but the unknown, who know him not, can doubt. In London he made it plain to the very rams in the Mersey, and he will not be less dear in Philadelphia. Me. William Cobnbll Jewett has been threatened with arrest—not by the Go vernment, however, but by individuals who urge it as a necessity. Mr. Jewett, in our opinion, has done nothing that would jus tify his imprisonment, and, in the letter which we publish, he makes a capital point in reference to those members of Congress who are certainly better entitled to that honor than he. Veteran Regiments. New York, Feb. SB,—The United State* steam transport Cambria, from Norfolk, arrived to-day, with the 98th New York Regiment, 336 men. Also, the United States steam transport Prometheua, with the Bist New York-Regiment, 400 men, and the United States steam transport New Jersey, with the 96th New York Regiment.

These refugees are prinoi- Jjr*y Germans, but are unwilling to reveal any thing in relation to affairs in Bichmond, perhaps because of their ignorance, or from the fact that the head of each family has a pass saying that “ the j hearer has taken the oath of allegiance to the Con federate States, and being pledged not to reveal, either dir* Ctly or indirectly, any information that may benefit the enemy, is permitted to pass beyond the limits of the Confederate States.” Tile Army of the Potomac—Deserters, <&c. On Thursday, while Company D, 25th Pennsylva nia Volunteers, was drilling, Sergt, Williams was accidentally shot by a comrade,who snapped his piece with a cap for the purposeof cleaning his gun, which he supposed was unloaded) The bait pssxed through Williams 9 head, hilling him instantly. He was much esteemed by the entire regiment. Not long ago he re enlisted, and had been home on a furlough, and was married. Advices from the Army or the Potom&o say that fourteen deserters came in on Friday, some bringing their muskets, etc. They had been on picket, aad belonged to different States, several being from the Ist Virginia Artillery. A general order has been issued, dismissing Major J. O. Akde6som\ of the 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry, for having, in violation .of existing orders and the customs of war, dossed the line of pickets, de livering and receiving letters from persons outside of the lines.- Major It. Hbikholo, of the same regiment, ha ving sanctioned- and authorized the aforesaid act of Major Amjhrbon, is also dismissed, subject to the approval of the President. 'The Scheldt Dues. Some time last year tlie Belgian Government made a treaty with the King of the Netherlands tor the extinguishment of the Scheldt dues, and pro posed, as a compensation therefor, a certain turn of money, the annual interest on which would yield an amount equivalent to the average income from such dues for the last ten ycais. It is understood that by the treaty between the United State* and Belgium, recently ratified, our Government has obligated it self to pay between, $600,000 and $600,000 at ita pra rata, In consideration of the important commercial privilege* to be conferred, France, England, Swe den and Norway, Denmark, Russia, and Spam, have already exchanged ratification* of the general treaty for the extinguishment of the same dues. Our flag is to be assimilated to that of Belgium for the transportation of salt, and the reduction made by the recent treatiea with other Governments, includ ing France, i* to baiequally applied to good* import ed from the United States, The WUsly and Petroleum Tax. The new conference committee on whisky will probably rail to agree, and the Ways and Means Committee will bring in a new bill, Jt is tolerably certain that a slight tax will be im posed upon crude Ipetroleum, but probably none on leal tobacco. \ The Pirate Alabama not Blockaded. Advices received at the State Department from Mr. Fnuvx, United States minister to Japan, dated January 6th, state that the Alabama, at that time, Was still at large, j Tlie Governor of Idalio. Whatever remarks may have been made in secret tension with regard to the nomination of Caleb Lyon as Governor of Idaho, it is known from credible sources that he was confirmed by the Se. £ ate without a disfienting voice. Visit of English Olhcers. Lieutenant Colonel Lionel Galloway, of the Raval Engineers, land Captain Cldscson,of the Boyai Artillery, of! the British army, accompanied by Captain Blunton, of General Baknabd’s ataff, have just ridden but to the fortifications around Alexandria. The two officers first named are accre dited agents of the English Government, sent out to examine and report upon the progress made by the United States'in artillery and fortifications. ' THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, A Beconnoissance to Wolf Bun, I/EE REPORTED TO BE MOVING- ON HARPER’S PERRY. GENERAL SICKLES GOING WEST, Kew Yosx, Feb. 38.—The Herald’s Atmy of the Potomac despatch states that a reoonnoissance was made by Col. Murphy, of the noth New York Regi ment, from Fairfax to Wolf Run, on Monday last, and that he found a strong rebel cavalry force there. Our men retired without making an attack. There is an unconfirmed report afloat here that a portion of Lea’s army is moving down the west side of the mountains towards Harper’s Ferry. The unusual activity among our troops might give some color to the rumor. The HeraWs Washington despatch says that General Sickles is expected to start for the west on Wednesday, and thence visit the Atlantic coast, Nashville, Chattanooga, Arkansas, Hilton Head, Fortress Monroe, ae , to investigate eoncer* nir.g the rebel deserters, prisoners ol war, and par ties taken within our lines, the result of which is to be laid before the President for the guidance of his future policy, in relation to Southern disi lyaiists. DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH. The Defeat at Olustee, Florida. UNION EOSS OVER ONE THOUSAND. Gen. Seymour Arrested—Gen. Vegdes put lu Command and Reinforced.. Nsw Yobk, Feb. 87.—The steamer Fulton, from Port Royal, whioh arrived at this port last night, with dates to the 24th, reports that a battle had been fought 'near Olustee, Florida, between our troops and a strong force of the rebels, but no particulars are given, all private, letters and news despatches, which should have arrived by the Fulton, having been detained by orders from Gen. Gilmore. THE ADVANCE TOWARD LAKE CITY. We learn, however, from private sources, that the steamer Cosmopolitan had arrived at Hilton Head, with wounded troops on board from Jacksonville and bringing a report that the troops which had ad vanced toward Lake City had been repulsed and driven back on Jacksonville. Three hundred.wouud ed were oh board the Cosmopolitan. It is asserted that we lost one thousand men in killed, wounded, and missing. The Union forces were largely outnumbered. Reinforcements were on tbe way to Florida, from Hilton Head. It is not improbable that this report is somewhat exagge rated. The ateamera Brownaville and Harriet Weed had been loat in St. John’* river. The latterjran aground, and waa blown up bp her crew to prevent her falling into tbe hands of the rebels. GEN. HARDEE ON THE FIELD. A passenger by tbe Fulton gives the following in refeienoe to the battle; “On the afternoon of the 20th our troops, under General Seymour, met the enemy, fliteen thousand strong, fifty-five miles from Jacksonville, and eight mile* Deyond Sanderson, on the line of the Jackson ville and Tallahassee Railroad. The battle was desperately fought, daring three hoars, and at sun set our forces, overpowered by numbers, retired to Sanderson, taking with them the greater part of the wounded. >• The 7th Connecticut, 7th New Hampshire, 40th e }' P| ana 160th New York, and Sth en B*ged. 001. Fribley, of the Bih United states, was left dead on the field. 001. ,» Ukoseriok offloer, was mortally wounded. AU the offloers of Hamilton's -batterV were wounded. CaptafirHamUton, wounded in the arm, and Lieutenant Myiic, wounded in the foot, are at G ?i°n!3i£i l X ore £ headquarters at Hilton Head. , Colonel Guy Henry, of the 40th Massachusetts, hones shot under Mm, but escaped ua- enemy’s loss is not known. They captured 11 ffi. supposed that tbe troops were from Bragg’s army. General Hardee himself was on the field, having come to Florida on a visit to his family, and *l*o to form a second marriage. ‘ Our loss is variously estimated at from five hun dred to thirteen hundred.” LATER. From an officer arrived In the Fulton, we derive some further particulars of the disaster to our forces near Lake City. General Seymour, who commanded the expedi tion, has been placed under arrest, by order of Gen. Gilmore. His successor is General Yogdes, who left Hilton Head on Tuesday laat, with relnforcemeuta for Jacksonville, consisting of an entire division. Our Information says it was the opinion of officers who took part in the expedition that our total losses In killed, wounded, and missing, aie between 1.200 and 1,500. AN AMBUSCADE. General Seymour is severely censured in not throwing out scouts and skirmiahen as our troops advanced, As it was, our troops were led Into a trap. Hamilton’s artillery led the van, and suffered se verely. The rebel sharpshooters picked off their horses, and the guns had to be abandoned. The 40th Massachusetts (mounted infantry) have also suffered severely, In the retreat manyof our wounded were left behind, within the enemy’s lines. BEAUREGARD IN COMMAND. Our troops were right in front of the Confederate batteries, in a piece of woods, before we were aware of their presence; and when their batterieß opened a galling fire, our men were driven back, panic stricken and in disorder. The rebel force Is not known, but it la supposed to have been large. One of the prisoner* captured stated that troops had recently been sent down from Charleston,- and that General Beauregard was In command. THE BATTLE GROUND. Olustee, tbe place where General Seymour fought and was beaten, ii a station on the Jacksonville and Tallahassee Railroad, forty eight miles west of Jack sonville. The Port Royal Free south asserts that Baldwin is held by our forces. Thii a station at the junction or the Jacksonville and the Fernandlna Railroads, twenty miles from Jacksonville. report come, from Hilton Head that General lr^^L 00mn, * Il<lC,l ,hB rebel fotoet, and thathls * p * rtof B»K’* army. It 1* more likely that they were a part of Beauregard’s force. Oene THE rEESS—PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY. TEBRTjAEY 2D, 186-fT tal Gilmore has sent reinforcements to Jackson vllle; and as the battle ot Olustee was fought just a Week ago to-day, it is possible that before this Ge neral Vogdes has met the enemy again. The regl menta he commands are first-rate material, and unless the enemy is berate Mm in overwhelming force, he will be apt to move ahead towards Talla hassee. Beaufort, S. 0., Feb. 23.—1 have just got to town, and learn that we have been whipped badly in Florida. Two hundred and forty wounded' were brought here last night, and more yet to oome. Capt. Jewett and Tieuts. Tittlefield and Tomlinson, of the Maesacburetts sith (colored), are wounded, but not seriously. Colonel Hallowell and Captain Watson, of your city, are unhurt. This regiment, as well as the 55ih Massachusetts, colored, have lost many men, having fought with great courage. Colonel Frlbley, of the Bth United States, colored, Is killed. He and his men, I am told, fought bravely. AN ADVANCE TOWARD SAVANNAH. On Sunday last, 21st inst., a small foroe of troops, under the command of Col. Howell,- left Hilton Head in transports, and proceeded up the Savannah river to Williams Island. Arriving at that place about dark, a company of men under Captain Green leaf, of the 4th New. Hampshire, landed in small boats, and made a reconnolssanee, in tbe eourae of which thsy mot a small body of the enemy, and a sharp musketry tiring ensued. We had four men of the 86th Pennsylvania Volun teers B'oucded. WAR IS THE SOUTHWEST. SHERMAN SAFE AT SELMA. 8es r ere Fight at 'West Point, Mississippi* GRANTS RECONJiOISSANCE OF DALTON.

Officers Abandoning Him* Deserters Taking the Oath of Allegiance* Cincinnati, Feb. 27.—The Gazette's Tunnel Hill drepatch, of the 26th,-aaya: On Thursday night our troope fell back to Tunnel Hill, which place will be held. The reconnoluance w»« entirely successful, and developed the faet that the enemy, la in foree at Dalton. Clalborne’c division, which had .been despatched to reinforce Folk, was recalled, and got back in time to participate In the fight. This was one important result accomplished. Our entire loss was three hundred. The rebels auflered more severely. The Commercial's Huntsville, Alabama, despatch says, reliable Information shown that tongstreet is falling back to Atlanta. Fart of his force is sup* posed to have reached there on the 26 th. A large portion of his foiees were without shoes, and many nearly naked. Wheeler has been relieved rom the command of the rebel cavalry by Breckinridge and Buckner, who were preparing for a raid into Kentucky. Memphis, Feb, 26.—Arrivals from Vlokburg con firm the previous reports that Gen, Sherman had occupied Selma, Alabama, and is safe. The reports from Gen. Smith’s cavalry expedition are not of euch a favorable character. ' Several stragglers that arrived here to day report that the rebel forces under Forrest, Adams, Tee, and noddy bad concentrated against him, and succeeded in forcing him back with considerable loss. Also, that a severe light had taken place between them at West Point, Miss. The elow movement of Col. Warring'* division (consisting mainly of New Jersey and Pennsylvania regiments) delayed this expedition some eight days, giving the enemy time to concentrate its forces against them. It is reported that Smith is slowly falling back towards Memphis; but the report is not generally believed, as but little credit can be given to the state ments of stragglers. Caieo, Feb. 27.—The steamer Deokey arrived here to-day, with 80 bales of cotton for St. Tools. Seventy members of the Wisconsin Battery have re- enlisted. The veterans ate en route for home, on furlough. Over two hundred new recruits, from lowa, ar rived here this morning, and. about the a,me num ber yesterday, from Indiana,-On route for the South. THE RETREAT OF TONGSTREET. Knoxville, Feb. 28.—At tbe last accounts Tong street was still retreating, his headquarters being at Greenville on Wednesday night. Our cavalry came upon Ms rear guard in the vici nity of Bean’s Station, yesterday, and a slight skir mish ensued, when the rebels gave way. General Schofield is pursuipg.with hlstroopn, but, owing to the rapid retreat of the enemy, no engage ment is expected this side of the Virginia line. The railroad bridge at Strawberry Plains and the track were injured beyond the possibility of present use. Fire c-ffiofcis and a number of men deeerted when Tongstreet fell back, and hare taken the amnesty oath. The officers state that he is retreating, to Richmond with his original troops, leaving John ston and Buckner to protect the Virginia border. Correspondence between Gens. Peck and Abw Yore, Feb. 27.— A correipondenae pawed between Generate Peck and Pickett in relation to tie death of Colonel Shaw, and theeubeequent exe cution by the rebele ora negro soldier for hie alleged murderer. General Peck say*: “ The Government of the United States ha* wisely seen fit to enlist many thousand colored soldiers to assist in putting down the rebellion, and has plaoed them on the same footing, in all respects, as her white troops.” He encloses a copy of the President’s order on the subject, that for every soldier of the United States killed in violation of the laws of war, a rebel shall be executed, etc., and adds, “Believing that this atrocity has been perpetrated without your know ledge, and that you will take prompt steps to disa vow this violation of the usages of war, and to bring the offenders to justice, I shall refrain from exe cuting a rebel soldier until I learn your action in the premises.” General Pickett replies, under date of Petersburg, Va.,Feb. 16 th, that had he caught any .negro who had killed either officer, soldier, or oitizen Of the Confederate States, be would have oaused him to be immediately executed, and states that he has In his possession four hundred and fifty officers and men of the United States amy, and for every man Gen. Peck executes he will hang ten of them, Fobtbbss Moneob, Feb. 26.— Steamer Virginia, Captain W. H. Snyder, arrived last night from New York. Captain S. reports that in passing Cedar Island, yesterday at 2P, m,, saw a full-rigged brig iunk off the southerly point of the island, her upper deeks out of water, sails -furled. T he brJg WM too far inside for the Virginia to approaoh her. Hast evening, while the steamer City of fUchmond waa lying at anchor in Hampton Roads, the steamer Admiral Dupont ran into her, doing some damage to both steamers. The City of Kicbmond had her bow sprit carried away, &o.

The Attorney General opposed the motion, and said the principle of prize adjudication in America was the same as in England, and that tbe disposition of the American Government was very fair am) just. During the general debate, seve ral speakers charged the Government with a truok lipg policy towards the American Government. Lord Palmerston said it was due to the American Government to say that they invariably received EpgZA&d’s representation in a spirit of equity and justice, lie quoted the Trent case as an evidence of a Ccsire to do right. It was prejudicial to the good understanding between Powers to accuse foreign' Governments of acts of which they were not guilty, and to express distrust of their equity when nothing justified such charges.

An eloquent address was delivered by Dr. Butler, of Arkansas, and the following reso lution (in substance) was unanimously agreed to: First. A disavowal of further participation in and responsibility for the rebellion, and providing that proper measures be immediately adopted for reorga nizing the State Government on a basis of absolute loyalty to the Union and the Constitution.

If Mies Western has the taste Of a butterfly, and would suck ftom every dramatic flower, she must such only from thoab whloh will sgree with her constitution. Let her stick to “East Lynne.” With all her exoel. lences she Is bad enough in that, but she is posi tively wretched In The French Spy , comparing hf r,-oi course, with the brilliant, beautitul Oubas'. We should not draw this comparison between miss Western and Oubas, had she not herself so glaringly invited it. But Oubas has made the character of the French Spy exclusively her own. She acts the part moat charmingly, and Mies Western is just as much out of place In it as poor Cubes was iu Lavengro, when she look ed for all the world more like a wax doll-baby than anything, else, .and spoko as a ■wax doll-baby might be supposed to speak. In etc first place, Oubas It beautiful, or at any rate she has such gorgeous and bewildering eyes that she would make you think her beautiful if all her other features were horrid. In thesecond place,her every action baa an especially bewitching manner. She don’t strut, and smirk, and mince matters. In the third place, she can danoe. In the fourth place, ahe don’t wear a horrid little moustache and imperial, which in such a character as the French Spy produce a decidedly hybrid appearance. In the fifth place, in the descent from the* wall in the third aet, and in the sword combat, Oubaa is unquestionsbly great, Ard in the sixth place, Cub,sis perfectly enchanting as Henri St, Alme, as the, Arab boy and as Mathilde. But we very much fear advice is lost upon Miss Western, and that all there is left for us to afl- 11111 eln her is her very great energy and perseve rance. With time she will grow more judicious, it is to be hoped. Until she reaches a reasonable de gree of acceptability in some other characters, let her confine herseir to Lady Isabel or even Nancy Sykes . In our opinion she will spoil the little reputation she possetteß by continuing to appear in the “French Spy. ” Oubaa might aa well attempt East r.ynno, and introduce La Madrilena at the close Of the ttrat aat, icatead cl “You’ll remember me!” Miss Western has cur best wishes for her success in California, on one condition, that the adheres to her old acquaint ances Lady Isabel end Madame Fine, and cuts acquaint ance with the ‘'French Spy.” Miss Ettie Henderson will make her first appear ance in Philadelphia this evening, appearing in the domestic drama or “ Fanclion, the Cricket.” She is said to be a charming young actress, and as suoh we shall be glad to'greet her. Chestnut-street Theatre. The “Colleen Bawn” has been performed to crowded houses for a week past. We have not seen the play aa now performed, and cannot personally vouch for lta be ing produced with unusual excellence. But we have beard praise from so many quarters (exclusive of playbills) that we are inclined to believe that the Chestnut deserves the popularity it so suddenly acquired. The crowds which we are told nightly visit it evince an overflowing admiration. On an esrly occasion we shall revert to the present com-' pany of the Chestnut. Arch-street ThBATHE,— Miss Etchings con cluded on Saturday an engagement by no means as brilliant AS it ought to have been. But the competi tion of the other theatres was great enough to account for this. The Arch relies upon its stock company for the next two weeks. Mrs. John Brew, Mr. Barton Bill, and Mr. Griffiths ate good, but the rest of the company, so far as our experience through the sea son extends, stand just one round higher on the ladder than they are entitled to. Young perrormers are very well In their way, but youth is not the only rtquisite, as the management by this time ought to know. The “Magic Marriage” will be performed this evening. Signor Blitz.—lt will be gratifying to the nu merous admirers of this universal favorite to learu that he has delayed his departure four days, and Will continue for tbattime at his Temple of Wonders, Assembly Buildings.

If it does not, the money will be refunded after three months’ trial. The Florence is without doubt, the simplest, best, and .cheapest sewing machine in the world, and all who subject It to a fair comparison with the other machines give it the preference. The End of Winter is rapidly approaching. A few more days, and spring will be upon us. This suggests the prospect of a smaller consumption of Coal. However this may be, the fact should not be overlooked, that the best place in Philadelphia to buy Coal, good and cheap, Is at Alter’s, 935 North Ninth street.
