It is true that have ha cau plain o “he pol.cyof g E^to ara country at o ]i cy has "been altered ;' "j ast tan months, fas is made eri- seizure of the Alexandra, the detention of the war-rams, and the general nrecautionS taken to prevent the budding and fining out of any more pirates like the Alabama, the Florida, ana the Georgia Jwe may rest satisfied that the Palmerston Go vernment, under all the circumstances, is as friendly to us as it fairly can be, with regard, to its great political and personal purpose of • continuing in office. We do not despair of finding Lords Bussell and Palmerston, when the day of adjustment shall arrive, frankiy confessing that England ought to make fair pecuniary compensation for the damage done to American commerce by the depredations of the Alabama and other Bri tish war-vessels buccaneering underthe Con federate flag. Lord Bussell has publicly de clared. in the present session of Parliament, that he considered the piratical course of the Alabama as monstrous, and that he lamented that such a vessel, for such a purpose, should have been built in England. After this admission, we do not see how Lord Bussell can refuse to entertain Mr. Sew ard’s question of ultimate compensation. It will be put to him, no doubt, at the pro per time and in the proper way, and with the result which we anticipate. If there he cause to expect fair play from the Palmerston Government, there is reason to look for hostility from the Derby-Disraeli Opposition—nearly every leading man of which is openly antagonistic to the United States. Mr. Disraeli himself is the chief, perhaps the only exception, and, as yet, has not joined in the outcry against the Union ists of this country. Lord Derby, at the opening of the present session, and fre quently since, has exhibited marked and vehement dislike to this country, and his myrmidons in the House of Commons have followed suit. The most eager of these is a certain gentleman, M. P. for the borough of Horsham, who is commonly known as “Alphabet Fitz-Gerald,” .inasmuch as he rejoices in the baptismal names of William Bobbrt Seymour Yesey. He is an Oxford man by education, a lawyer by profession, and a politician by choice. Ia fifteen months, in 1858-9, this Mr. Fitz Gerald held office, under Lord Derby, as Under secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and this taste of official life has ever since made him, like Thersrtes, “ lioquaoioui, loud) and turbulent of tongue, 1 * Expecting to return to office, should the present Government fall upon evil days, this Mr. Fitz-Gebald has taken the initiative in the Commons, this session, in attacking this country. On the 23d ult., he assailed the Ministry for seizing the Hebei iron-clad rams in Laird's ship building yard on the Mersey, and sturdily demanded that all pa pers and correspondence relating to such seizure should he produced and printed—a demand resisted by the Government, on the equitable ground that proceedings had been taken to test the legality of the seizure, and that, pendente Ute —while the case was unde cided—it would obviously be improper to publish the documents which would proba bly become evidence ere a decision was ar rived at. The Commons sustained this view,-and Mr. Fitz Gerald’s motion was defeated by a majority of twenty-five. Considering that the House of Commons consists of 658 members, it is evident that a majority in it of only 25 shows a pretty even division of party, and that a Government re tained in office by so small a majority must be considered essentially feeble. Exactly so —if aU the members voted. But, on Mr. Fitz-Gebald’s motion, only 331 members, or abpnt one-half of the whole numerical strength of the House, voted at all. The small majority of 25, therefore, is no test of the strength or the weakness of the Pal merston administration. If Mr. FiTZ-Ga rald's motion had been regarded as a trial of strength, all parties would have brought up all their respective forces. Whenever a really important vote is to be taken, the Commons muster very strong. As a matter curious in itself, and bearing on the ques tion before us, we shall mention a few in stances. '< In 1831, ‘When the hist Reform BiU was before the House of Commons, its second reading was carried by a majority of one, 608 members then voting. When this mea sure was in committee, an amendment damaging to it, proposed by General Gas coyne, was carried by a majority of eight in a House of 590 members. The second reading of the second Reform Bill, in July, 1832, was carried by a majority of a hundred and twenty-six, as many as 598 members voting. The third Reform Bill was finally passed, in September, 1832, by a majority of a hundred and sixteen, in a House of 594 members. ' Sir Robebt Feel first met Parliament as Prime Minister on the 9th February, 1834, and the Opposition at once proceeded to measure strength with him, on the election of Speaker of the House of Commons, the most dignified position a private gentleman can hold in England, carrying with it $30,000 per annum as salary, with a splen did official residence, and a pension of $20,- 000 for two lives, with his own elevation to the peerage, on retirement from office. Here 622 members voted, and the Opposition candidate was chosen by a majority of ten. An amendment against the Peel Govern ment was carried, three weeks later, by 'a majority of seven, in a House of 611 mem bers, and soon after the Ministry were driven out of office, by a majority oi twenty seven, in a House of 543. The Melbourne Ministry, installed in office by this last vote, gradually lost their popularity. In April, 1839, this was proved by the votes upon a Government proposal to suspend the Constitution of Jamaica for five yeare, for, out of 588 members in the House, 294 .voted with the Ministry, and '289 against them. This small majority of five caused the Cabinet to resign, but it re sumed office, on Sir R. Peel's refusal -to have the wives and daughters of his politi cal opponents officially attached to the Queen’s person. In May, 1841, the Minis try had a majority of thirty-six against them, in a House of 598, but, as they still clung to office, a vote of want of confidence was given against them by one majority—623 members participating. This led to a dis solution of Parliament, and, in August, 1841, an amendment on the Address was carried by a majority of ninety-one, in a House of 629 members. Peel became Premier, and carried his Com Law Repeal Bill, in 1846, by a majo rity of ninety-eir/hd, in a House of 556, and, the day after that measure became law, was himself driven from office by a majority of seventy-three, out of 511 members who voted. The Derby-Disraeli party assumed the reins of government in February, 1852, in consequence of Lord John Rubsell having a majority of eleven against him, in a House of 361, on Palmsbeton’s amendment on the Militia Bill. lit the following Decem ber, in a House of 591, the Derby Ministry were thrown out by a majority of nineteen. In January, 1855, Lord Aberdeen’s Go vernment was broken up, by a hostile ma jority of one hundred tend jyty-seven, in 453 members, on Roebuck's motion of inquiry into the condition of the British army before Sebastopol, and Lord Palmerston became Premier. Two years later, a motion by Mr. Cobdxn, censuring the Government for the war in China, was carried by a majority of sixteen votes out of 510, and led to a dissoln ■ tion of Parliament. In the following Febru ary, an adverse majority of nineteen , on the bill to amend the law of conspiracy, was -given in a House of 449, and caused Lord Palmerston's- retirement, and the forma tion-.of Lord Debut's second administra tion In March, 1859, when their Reform Bill was thrown out by nineteen votes out of 621 a new Parliament was called, the first vote of which left the Derby Ministry in a majority of thirteen, .633 members votings being the fullest House that ever voted, upon any occasion. Of course this com pelled the defeated Ministry to resign office. These votes, which we have carefully col lected from official documents, establish two points: first, that in the British Parliament there; has scarcely even been an instance of the Government being broken up, except by a hostile vote in what may be considered a. full house, and next, that the almost gene ral practice, on such defeat being sustained by the Government, ("except when given by a new Parliament, ) is to appeal to the coun try by a general election. Now, the pre sent House of Commons was elected, five years ago, during the ministerial rule of Lord Drhby, and, therefore, must contain many elements of hostility to Lord Palmerston, and it has now nearly reached its close,-for though it nominally may continue for the full septennial period, it rarely is allowed to pass into its sixth year. AH circumstances fairly balanced, the conclusion must be—even beat the present British Government upon any great ques tion, and, instead of accepting the defeat, and resigning office to the Derby-Disraeli party, Padmerston will dissolve Parlia ment, and try what a new election may do to renew his political strength. The pre sent British Government is not unfriendly to us now, and its Tory successors would be hostile. We may safely calculate on the endurance of the Palmerston Ministry while its chief maintains health of mind and body, and his remarkable personal popularity, out side of his political position. The Stratford Jubilee. The time is approaching for the celebra tion of the Shakspeare Tercentenary. A very'great amount of discussion has been going on over the water. A very great amount of nothing has been done, and the arrangements at present do not seem to pro mise any supernatural degree of energy. The British public acknowledge the interest ing fact that the three-hundredth anniversary of bHAXBFEABE’s birth will be celebrated ("the Bulletin to the contrary notwithstand ing.) on the 28d of April next. Ever so many years ago a jubilee was got up in honor of Shaksfeaee, Gabkick being the mover. If Garrick were living now he might, with some show of justice, recur to bis Ode on the erecting of a Shakspearean monument, and summon up the hair-split ters and contentious in London, in the very same words he used, in a different sense, on that occasion, and exclaim: “Ye guilty, lawless tribe, Escaped from punishment by art or bribe, At Sbattepeare’t bar appear; No bribing and no shuffling there!" And, viewing the principle of procrasti nation on which the rival committees appear to proceed, Gabkick might continue these sell-quotations with . “ Can British gratitude delay. To him, the glory of this earth, To give the feative day, The tong, the statue, and devoted pile To him, the first of poets, best or men t” Mounted in a sort of pulpit, Gabrick was accustomed to deliver his Shakspearean Ode on the off-nights of the Shakspearean me lange he produced at Drury Lane. In the celebration at Stratford, Garrick, in har mony of action, went far ahead of the Ter-* centenary London Committee. He centralized the influence. Wishing to do all honor to the poet of the world, he erected a.spacious rotunda, after Ranelagh. Upon the sth of September, 1769, the jubilee commenced. It lasted until the 9th, when, it came to an untimely end in consequence of a storm of wmd and rain, which persuaded the Lon don audience to beat a hasty retreat. In the Garrick-Shakspeare celebration the spiritual and the temporal world were united. Public worship was attended one day and a magnificent ball the next. There may have been some twaddle about the Shakspeare Jubilee in Garrick’s time, nearly one hundred years ago. There has been plenty of twaddle about .the tercen tenary, and whether a correponding amount of work will be done before the 23d of April, the interval between this and then will prove. One noticeable feature in the celebration of 1769 is that an actor and author, Garrick, took the lead, and that, so far as the lapse of time will enable us to judge, the affair progressed smoothly. ’ In the tercentenary, both authors and actors take the lead, and are involved in an inex tricable wrangle. From all that we can understand of the affair, ("which appears .to be a literary Schleswig-Holstein,} the conflicting parties do not seem likely to Bettle it amicably at all. Mr. Fechteb is wanted toplay “ Ham let,” and Mr. Phelps, who seems to enter tain a rare opinion of his own dramatic ge nius, will by no means consent to this sacri legious intrusion. Mr. Phelps thinks he is as good a Hamlet as Mr. Fechteb any day. Mr. Phelps has produced Shakspeabe’ s plays ever so many thousand times, and therefore Mr. Phelps is a great Shak speaiean performer. This is truly a logical reason, and is so self-evident that we won der Petkbson & Bbos. do not arrogate to themselves the genius of Mr, Dickens, on the ground of having published so many impressions of “Boz,” or that Ticknob & Fields do not set up as twin Tennysons, because of their blue-and-gold editions of that poet The very charming example of modesty and retirement set by Mr. Phelps has not been followed, only because it has been previously set by members of literary cliques. In a subject so worthy of reverence as the ShakspeaTe Tercentenaiy, it is indeed humi liating that so much frivolous discussion should be indulged in. That, in an affair pf this kind, some circumstances will occur of not the most pleasant nature, can readily be beljgved. As loDg as prejudice and malice, j and ignorance and impudence prevail, men, i distinguished and cultivated men, too ("in j but a few cases, let us hope}, will war 1 against social amenities. The history of the tercentenaiy affair, however, is a history of unpleasantnesses. There has been some ; talk of a tercentenary celebration in this country. Let us at least set an amicable, honorable example. There need be no bick erings and petty disputes. We have need only to remember the large heart of Shaks peabe to feel largely ourselves; to cease all the twaddle which minds of a low level glory in, and to sink self in honest reve- : rence to the poet who deserves the reverence of all ages. In connection with the subject we might remark upon the various representations of Shakspeabe which have agitated the minds of the Honorable Secs, who conduct the ' Stratford Jubilee. There are only three repre sentations of Shakspeabe upon which any degree of solid reliance is to be placed. These are the Chandos portrait, the Stratford bust, and the Droeshout etching. The bust, the etching, and the portrait are all unlike each other, and The Spectator, the London weekly from which we glean some of our intelli gence, thinks that neither ought to be impli citly accepted. The Stratford bust represents the poet as a jolly, round-faced, gossiping, Stratfordehire clerk, with a nose which, if it be true to The Spectator's definitive epithet of “squatty,” must be somewhat Socratic of aspect, and an upper lip which traverses an extensive plane before completing its journey from the nose to the mouth, and which would not seem to argue much intelligence. The Chandos portrait seems to better deserve the studious attention of the Honorable Secs. . Still, the eyes and brow are all that is admitted to be good about it. Th e mouth is pronounced as sensual and even treacherous, and the hair as black and wiry. The ears are em bellished with rings, whose presence may peihaps be accounted for through the exigen cies of a theatrical garb. The Droeshout etching is no less unsatisfactory. It i a a poor engraving even for Dbokshoht ; the eyes are at odds with each other, and the features are blank and mindless. -If .these criticisms be just, the Jansen portrait, which is not accepted as authentic, is more ac ceptable than any other to the prepossessions of Shakbpeabe’s admirers. Its intellec tuality and refinement exhibit the poet in a delightful phase, although they fail to de pict those Protean powers which one is apt to look for in authentic likenesses. The Chandos portrait is the only one pos sessing a genuine pedigree. It was owned by Joseph Taylob, an actor, and one of Shakspeabb’s cotemporaries. The execution is attributed by some to Burbage, the actor, and by others to John Tatlob, the artist, whose mode it is said to resemble. In choosing from these three nearest approaches to certainty, some embarrassment may be felt and we do not feel that the consolation is permissi ble that it is better after all that we have no likeness of Shakspeare in whose fidelity we can unhesitatingly confide. We need a truthful representation of Shakspe ire as much as we need one of any other poet. Mr. J. Hair Friswell has brought out, in London, a history of the various representa tions of Shakspeare, together with a col lection of photographs from the originals. He complains modestly that he has been prevented using more than one-fourth of his materials. But if among all his materials, published or unpublished, one faithful like ness of Shakspeare could be found, we are sure Mr. Friswell would receive the thanks of the Honorable Secs, 'fcho, on that, if on no other occasion, would sink Self in enthusiasm for the poet and his year of Jubilee. In appointing Mr. Charles Gilpin to the post of United States District Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the Government has given thiß community an able, loyal, and upright officer. Several other gentlemen had been suggested for the position, and that Mr. Gilpin was chosen from a number of candidates so greatly dis tinguished for ability is a compliment that needs no addition. WASHINGTON. Washington, March 12, 1864. The Conduct of the War. Major General Meade has suffered from a severe attack of pneumonia, and, yielding to the advice of hia physician*, may not enter 'upon active »lutv for ■ome time to come. As the army must immediately prepare for the' new campaign, the statement has arisen that a new commander will be appointed. Among the new arrivals here are. M >jor Generals Lewis Wallace and Thomas l. Chittenden, Report assigns the former to the command or the Middle Department. Lieut. Gen. Gbant has gone back to the Southwest, armed with full authority. Troops are hurrying to the front. General Hallbok, it is stated, has been assigned to epeeial duty here by General Gbamt. McClellan and I-ee. A report has been circulated that Fbanots Wal dron, the Marylander who made the reoent state ment regarding General McClellan, at the battle of Antietam, ia addicted to strong drink, and is very disordered in mind. He has been In the Maryland Legislature, but la a aohoolmaater by profession. The letter whleh he recently published is very sensi ble and practical in tone, and his evidence, as ori ginally given to the Government, is not ltk^jnsani ty. We must await further developments to under stand the true facts of tbe case, i Admiral Wilkes. The proceedings, thus far, In the oase of Admiral Wilkes, contain but few interesting matters. At the opening ol the Court Martial, the accused plead objection to the appointment of members of the court by the Secretary of the Navy, on the alleged gtoueds (bat the Secretary being the prosecutor, and having preferred the eharges in his own name, and the subject-matter of the charges relating to matters and correspondence between the Secretary and the aooused of a personal as well as publlo na ture, the Secretary was thereby disqualified, by reason of supposed bias, from naming the members ol the court, and that they ehould have been de tailed by the President. The eourt overruled this . objection. By bis counsel, Hon. O. H, Browning, the Admiral pleaded “ not guilty ” to all the oharges, and moved to quaeh the charges relating to his offi cial conduct while In Charge of the West India Squadron in 1862, on the ground that a court of Ur quiry had not been previously called, nor any ex planation demanded of the aecuted in relation to those chaiges, as required by the naval regulations, to which the court again decided adversely. Naval Captures. The commander of the United States bark Roe buck, on blockade duty off Indian river inlet, writes to the Navy Department, under date of February 26th, to the effect that on the night previous he cap tured the British sloop two Brothers, from Nassau, bound to Florida, laden with salt, liquor, and nails. Quincy a. Ooopbb, commanding the United States eteamer Clyde, off Key Weet, writes that on the 26th ult. he sent two boats, with armed crews, up the Suwannee river, for the purpose of capturing a quantity of cotton. On the morning of the 27th the boats returned, with an old scow laden with sixty, seven -bales of cotton, which was put on board the Clyde and sent to Key West. The Navy Department has also received informa tion of the capture on the 6th instant of the steamer Mary Ann, by the Grand Gulf, off Wilmington, N. C. The Mary Ann is a new side.wheel steamer, built on the Clyde, and despatched from Glasgow in Jana, 1863. She is reported to be a faster vessel tiian the Giraffe, alias Robert E. Lee, and to have made nine teen statute miles per hour on her trial trip. The Mary Ann has been running the blockade on the coaet of Florida, sailing from Havana. The Malls for tbe Northwest Territories. The Post Office Department has just concluded contracts for mail service in Nebraska, Washing, ton, Idsho, and other fanoff Territories. -- ' Among them Is one privilege, that from the Ist of July next the mails shall be carried thrioe a week from the intersection of the overland mail route at Salt Lake city, in Utah Territory, by Boisse city and Auburn to Walla- Walla, in Washington Terri tory, In ten days, in lien of sending them via Plaoer ville, California, to Portland, Oregon. This saves 1,200 miles of travel and 10 days In the expedition ol the mall for Oregon, Waahington, and Idaho Territories. This important mall service is let to Benjamin Hollidat at $166,000 per annum.

Another False Rumor—Our Relations with France. There is no foundation for the statements in re gard to the arrival Of Mr- Dayton’s son with im portant despatches Horn France in referenoe to pros pects of recognizing the Southern Confederacy.

The Battle of Chickamauga. The presence of Generals McCook and Obittbn. uhn hen is in relation to official inquiry into their conduct at the battle of Ohlokamauga. Dahlgren. It is untrue, as stated, that Admiral Dahlobbn has received the remains of his son from Richmond- Bragg. The Atlanta Register says that “Mr. Davis could not devise any measure whioh is so largely calcu lated to weaken his own position in the publlo con fidence, and derange the status of military affairs and opinions, than by creating General Bbago the practical oommahder of our armies.” It regards the appointment as “ boundless for ill.” Returned Prisoners—Revised Story of Rebel Barbarity. Colonel John M. Sandbbson, who arrived at Annapolis with over forty officers and six hundred men horn Richmond, emphatically denies the ex aggerated stories -of the oruelties of the rebels hitherto published by returned prisoners. He dis credits the report that one hundred kegs of powder were laid to blowup the Libby,but other offioers and soldiers assert the contrary, on authority of the rebel officials themselves and an article in the Richmond Enquirer, which State that the com mandants of the-prlsona efficacious mea sures te prevent the ohanee of Capture, and escape. The blood-thirsty editorials in the Rich mond papers are generally Corroborative or this theory. Our prisoners are treated cruelly enoagh, but there is no need to represent matters worse than they are. “Diox Tubnbb,” brother of the commandant of the Libby, and not Mat. Tbokas P.

Secretary Sewabd’s communication to the El. gllsh Government on the Chesapeake piracy, leaves that Government nothing to complain of. The fol lowing eandid statement deservea remembering: “The undersigned is authorized to assure her Ma jesty’s Government, in the spirit of a former commu nication of the undersigned to his Lordship, relating to the capture of the Chesapeake la Britleb waters, that the President disapproves and regrets the aal of force, power, and authority which was exercised by the officers of the Ella and Annie,-in British wa teis, on the occasion mentioned, as a violation of the law or nations, and of the friendly relations ex isting between tbe two countries, so greatly to the satisfaction ot the United States, and to the advan tage of both nations. The President has reason to believe that tbe proceedings tbus disapproved were taken by the officers concerned, under the influence of a patriotic and commendable zeal to bring to de served punishment outlaws who had offended against the peace and dignity oi both countries. “ The President, while he reoognlzes this circum stanee as modifying the character of the transaction and mitigating the censure to be bestowed upon It, nevertheless freely concedes that it does not const! tuteajuatlficationfor the violation of theaovereiguty of Great Britain, which those officers have com mitted. Be has, therefore, directed that they ahall be censured for this violation, and he will take such other means as may be necessary to prevent a recur rence of the grievance complained of.

The foUowing letter of the President is published in the Unconditional Union of Arkansas : Washington, Feb. 18, 1864, To William Fishback: When I fixed a plan for an eleotion in Arkansas, I did it in ignorance that your convention was at the same work. Sinoe I learned the latter fact I have been constantly trying to yield my plan to theirs, I have sent two letters to Gen. Steele, and three or four despatches to you and others, saying that he (Gen. Steele) must be master, but that it will proba bly be beßt for him to keep the convention on its own plan. Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement on anything; and Gen. Steele, commanding the military and being on the ground, is the best man to be that master. Even now citi zens are telegraphing me to postpone the eleotion to a later day than either fixed by the convention or me. This discord must be silenced. A. LINCOLN. Mr. Chase and the Presidency.

At the instance of many who think that the public interests would be promoted by my eleotion to the Gbief Magistracy, a committee, composed of Se nators, Representatives, and citizens, has been or ganized here to adopt measures to promote that Ob' ject. This committee, through a sub-committee, has conferred with me, and I have explained to them the objections which seem to me to exist against any use of my name in that connection. They have taken these objeatiens into consideration, and assure me that they think I ought not to refuse its use, and I have consented to their wishes, assuring them, however, that whenever any consideration by them, or by the friends of our cause, thought entitled to weight, should indicate the expedienoy of any other course, 9 no considerations of personal delicacy toward me should be allowed to prevent its belug taken. If I know my own heart, I desire nothing so much aa the suppression of tbe rebellion and the re-estab lishment of union, order, and prosperity on sure and Bafe foundations, and I should despise myself if I felt capable of allowing any personal objects to in fluence me to any action wnich would effect by one jot or tittle injuriously the accomplishment ef those objects; and it ia a source of real gratification to believe that those who desire it on publio grounds alone, and will not hesitate to act in any matter which may concern me upon suoh grounds, and such grounds only. Of course, under these circumstances, I delire the support of Ohio. If, however, it shall be the pleasure ol a majority of our frieudaln Ohio to indicate a pre ference Ibr another, I shall accept their action with that cheerful acquiescence which is due from me to friends who have trusted and honored me beyond any claim of merit of mine.

HU late expedition is ealled by himself a “ big raid,” in the course of which he reached a point ten miles east of Meridian without any opposition worthy ot the name, and returned with 1,100 mules, 4,000 contrabands, 600 prisoners, and a large amount of supplies. Transports are rapidly bringing troops back from Texas. Governor Mlohael Hahn was inaugurated on the 4th Inst, with imposing -ceremonies, at New Orleans. General Banks delivered an address, In which he predicted the reduction of the insurrec tion to three or four States on the Atlantic coast by this season's oampalgn. He said: “ Let us remem ber that the re-inauguration we celebrate has the basis oi a century, for we have achieved deeds of a century In the past two'years, and, so long as tbe people are faithful and true to themselves, so long will stand Louisiana, the first returning State, in which every man U a free man,” Governor Hahn’s inaugural address regards slavery as the cause of the present unholy attempt to break up the Government, and its universal andimmedlate extinction as a public and private blessing. “ From every light before me,” he says, “I am oonstralnqd to believe that theoanseof rebellion Is in extremis, and It seems to me not extrqyagant to look upon this year as the final one of the most senseless, causeless, and most murderous rebellion that ever oeourred in a olvllized nation. The loyal men of Louisiana have suffered mueh and deeply, but, with tbe blessings of God upon our exertions, ail will be soon right egain, and peace, happiness, and prospe rity will smile upon our thresholds as of old.” A grand ball at night concluded the gaieties of the occasion. All the people were in the streets during the day, and there was unquestionably a slncerer feeling of satisfaction shown than on many of the more boisterous days of the Secession madness of 1861.

Baltimore, Maroh 12 -*General Grant came as' passenger on the early train from Washington this morning. He changed cars at the Relay House, and proceeded west on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road. THE LATE EXPEDITION. Cairo, March 10.—The following clear account of tbe march to Meridian is gathered from an officer: The expedition left Vicksburg on the 30th of Janu ary. -The next day it cro«.ed the Big Blaek river, a. before stated, with Wirt Adams’cavalry drawn up in line of battle. Col. Potts’brigade advanced, and were strongly resisted by the enemy, who began to retreat after a fight of an hour and a half. Cur troops pushed on in line of battle, following them five miles, and by night had driven them beyond Jackson. They drove a squad of rebel cavalry out of Jackson and occupied It. The State House is in good condition, and not burned, as has been report ed. In the night some soldiers burned down a num ber of bou.ee. The next morning the pontoon bridge was thrown across Pearl river, and the army march ed, to Brandon, where they skirmished with rebel cavalry and diove them out. On reaching Morton tbey encountered a division of Loring’s and French’s. They had been throwing up defences aed evidently intended to fight, but as our forces came up slowly, they retreated without firing a gun. On the 14th General Hulburt’s corps entered Meridian, tbe remainder of the expedition follow ing the ensuing day, having destroyed the town of Hillsboro’, in Scott county, on the way. In Meridian we encountered some rebel cavalry and drove them out, after come skirmishing, and then took possession of tbe town and held it four days. At that time expeditions were sent out which de stroyed fully 100 miles of road on the'Mobile and Ohio Railroad and on the raikaad leading to Selma, This includes over 30,000 Met of bridging, and a large amount of rolling otoek' was also destroyed. We foundthat the rebels themselves had destroyed much rolling stock to preserve it from falling into our hands. While this was being done the town of Enterprise, and vintage, and railroad station of Chankey were destroyed, together with a large amount of rebel stores which wore burned up at Chankey. There had been no intention or going to Selma, and tbe main body of the army never went beyond Meridian. 1 The expedition took with them only twenty days’ rations, and all wss accomplilihea that had been intended. Nearly 6,000 negroes of all ages and sexes followed tbe army on Its return to Vicksburg, escorted by Colonel Potts’ brigade. Smith’s eavalry was to have joined them at Meridian, If it had done so, It would have been used to do important service on the Tombigbee river, in addi tion 1o the serious damages inflicted by other troops. The expedition was at no time in danger from the enemy’s resistance, and so formidable that the ut most terror was caused by their advanoe, and the eountiy was generally helpless before them. Confidence was felt that with neaessary provi sions tbe expedition could have marohed success fully to Mobile. Our army subsisted almost en tliely on the eni my ’e country, and at no time waa it abort of provisions. It left Canton on the 4th, and returned to Vicksburg on tbe 6th and 7th lust. A REBEL SCHEME FOILED. Chattanooga, Mareh 12.—Nothing important from the front to-night. The rebels cent in a flag of truoe on unimportant business, with the intention of getting the location of our advanced posts at Ringgold. The flag was stopped at the outposts, and their scheme failed. A heavy column of Infantry, reported to be mov ing up toward Ringgold, waa nothing more than an escort to a body of refugees seeking the Federal lines. Boats from Knoxville report that the guerillas are quiet along the river. The receipts of rebel deserters average thirty par day for this month, The oath of allegiance is ad ministered at the Oity Prison daily, at 7 o’oloek, to deserters, who are sent to the rear. Gen. Stedman, commanding this post, is issuing 50,000 rations dally, to citizens, who come from a distance of fifty miles. All unemploy ed or unenlisted contrabands are to be shipped North on Monday next. As an evidence of the reconstruction going on, the Masonic Lodge at Chattanooga is revived, and will soon commence work. Col. Nichalatzle, of tbs 24th Illinois Regiment, Who was wounded at Buzzard’s Roost, in the late recommit Banco, died in the hospital last night. A Military Heview at New Orleans. A grand review of artillery and eavalry took plsee at Carrollton, La., on the 27th ult., which attracted a large number of the citizens of New Or leans. Major Generals Banks, MeOlernand, and Reynolds, and numerous brigadiers, with their re spective staffs, were present. Among the regiments on the ground there were representatives from nearly every battle-field of the war. After the re view a beautiful silk battle-flag was presented to General Lee’s eavalry eorps by Jndge Atooha, on behalf of the ladles or the State of New York, from whom it was a girt. General Lee, on receiving the flag, made a modest but soldierly speeoh. The 4th BrUade, commanded by Colonel Dudley, then went through the ceremony of adopting Miss Blnney Banks, tbe eldest daughter of M -jor General Banks, as tbe “ Daughter of tbe Brigade.” The general responded to the compliment. The day was fine, and tbe entire proceedings pissed off happily. The Return of Kilpatrick. Baltimorb, March 18 —General Kilpatrick ar rived here to-day, from Fortresa Monroe, and left immediately for Washington. A Blockade-Runner Chased. Portland, March 12.—The brig Wappoo, from the Matanzas, reports that on the 34 instant, in Ist. 32 deg. 67 Ain., long. 76 deg. 20 min., she saw a bark rigged U. S. gunboaVcbasing and firing at a steamer, apparently a biockada-roaoer. The Right of Soidfers to Vote. the amendment to the state constitution— THE QUESTION TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE. Habbisbubo, March 12.— The amendment| > fo the State Constitution, whioh receive the sanction Of the Legislature, fallowing soldiers to vote,) will shortly be submitted to the people. The Constitu tion requires that suoh amendment* (to be made not oftener than onoe in five years) shall reoeive the assent of two succeeding Legislatures, and shall be voted upon by the people Within three months after publication by the Secretary of the Common, wealth. The original bill, allowing soldiers to'vote, was introduced into the Legislature in 1863 (J sou ary 22) by Senator Henry Johnson, of Lyoomtng county- It passed tbe Senate unanimously on February 11th, 1863, and was held by the House until a few days belore the final adjournment, when it was passed by that body, but with the addition of two sections having no reference whatever to the right of suf frage. The friends of the original bUI in the Senate were forced to aooept these additions, in order, at a late hour, to seoure the pus age oi the more Import ant proposition. The Secretary of the Common wealth, in accordance with law, advertised the amendments July, 1863. In the early part of the session of 1864, the organi zation of the Senate being obstructed, Senator John son made attempts at every opportunity to past the bill- and finally succeeded in doing so on March 9, the measure being also considered by the House. The same Senator has also presented two supple, mentary bills—one defining the manner in which the amendments are to be aubmitted to the people, and one regulating the elections by soldiers when in ac tual military service. Both of these will pass the Legislature. The entire system was devised by Se nator Johnson, and the success of the measure is entirely due to-his efl’orts. There is no doubt what ever but that the soldiers of Fennsylvanlaiu actual aerviee will be enabled to vote in the field for the next President of the United States. HAVANA AND MEXICO. JUAREZ ABANDONED BY VIDAURRI New Yobk, March 13.—The steamer Morning Star arrived to-day, bringing Havdna dates to the Sthinst. The Spanish vessels Almogobar and Berenquez had arrived with reinforcement! for the Army ot the Antilles. The Havana papers oontain copious exfraets from late Mobile papers, showing that Gen. Sherman’s 1 expedition had created the’ greatest alarm there. The Federal troops are charged with having com mitted incredible outrage*. The steamers Fannie and Syren had arrived at Nassau on the 29th ultimo, with cargoes of ootton, from Wilmington, having run the blockade there. The advices from Vera Cruz are to the Ist instant, and from the City of Mexioo to February 26. The report that President Juarez bad resigned is denied in a letter Horn himseir. Zacateoas has been oooupted by two thousand Im perialists, who are directing their military opera tions against General, Ortega. He is entrenched at Guadalajara, and the Imperialists had declared this place in a state of alege. The people ef Zscatecas received the invaders with rejoicings. The Imperialist garrison at Tabasco hi* been besieged by the Juarists, and, unless relnforeed, will have to surrender. General Vldaurri has openly declared against Juarez, and has abandoned his cause. A rumor prevails that Gonzales Ortega gives in his adhesion to the new government. From all parts or tbe country comes the intelli gence of the occupation of various towns by the French troops, and, among other places, Guanajuato azd Mlnatltlan. ' The French have also had a naval suocesa. Their war eorvette Cordilliore captured and took into San Bias the Mexican steamer San Franoiaoo, formerly the English steamer Lord Raglan, with despatches from Juarez. At the latest Moousti Juarez was at Santa Cata lina, and Doblado at Monterey. After making all allowance for the fact that the hew* from Mexico comes from French sources, it is evident that the national oause is rapidly losing ground. The Juarez Government is now reduced to four or five States. SAN DOMINGO. The steamer San Jaolnto had arrived at Havana, from San Domingo, with news to the 27th ult. She brought Gen. Gondara, the Spanish leader in the present war agalnit the revolted Islanders. He came to Havana to arrange an expedition against Monteerlste, and was received with full military honors. The news from San Domingo ia favorable to the Spanleh. A battle had taken place at Molueoo, at which the Boyallit troops surprised the rebels, rushed upon them, destroyed their camp, and put them completely to flight. The revolters had re ceived ammunition and eupplieg from vessel! float ing the English flag. This faot had aroused some ill feeling In Cuba against England. It ia alleged that many families and individuals, despairing of success in the rebellion, have presented themselves to the Spanish officers and promised to recognize the legitimate (Spanish) authority. This information comes through an Interested channel. Vessels Captured and Burned. Fobtbbss Monbob, Maroh 13.—The ateamer Monticello arrived this afternoon, with the oap tured blockade-runner Mary Anri in tow. She was captured off Wilmington.

Logan is unwilling to become a candidate for Governor of that State, and earnestly hopes that the loyal voters of Illinois will unite, without reference to former party-ties, upon a ticket made up of unconditional Unionists, who favor the proseontion of the war and tbe final overthrow of treason and the rebellion. Accident on the Camden and Amboy Rail- Nsw York, March 12. —An. accident occurred last night to the Washington train on the Osmden and Amboy Railroad, near Princeton, New Jersey.

HARRISBURG. C Special Correspondents of The Frees. J HABRIBBJTB9, March I*l 186*. PROPOSED REMOVAL OP THB CAPITAL. During the dieouMion! day before yeaterday, upon the bill relating to the purohaae of an executive mansion,'the propriety of ohanging the seat of Go vernment inolderally came before the Houce. If I am not greatly mistaken, many or the member! are in favor of its removal to your city. The present complicated condition of our country may delay immediate action. tSome think that this change ought not to be made while we have such a gi gantic war upon our hands, yet they are agreed that Philadelphia is the place ror the seat of go vernment. It ean only be objected that its geographical position is not ravorable; that the capital - should be more nearly the centre of tbe State. Yet really thia is no objection. Every member goes to Philadelphia several times during the session. In this city, the convening of the Le gislate e it the tignal for high prioes and crowded hotels. In your city, the people who visit the seat of government would And ample accommodations, and they would not find every public home filled from cellar to garret. Here, inembera get accommo dations frequently with great difficulty. Everything Is crowded and in confusion. There are many rea son for its removal. There are none against it, save location; and, since iailroadi and telegraphs have " annihilated time and apace,” thiß amounts to nothing. THB STATB TEEASUBER. Yesterday an act passed both brandies providing for the election of a State Treasurer. The election will take place on Wednesday next, the 16HU or course the Hon. Henry D. Moore will be elected. Tblc officer is usually elected InjJanusry, but, owing to the action of the Democratic members of the Senate, an election waa staved off, they refusing to go into joint convention. The result was, a new act had to be paised, which could not be done until the vacant seat of Harry White was filled. ALL BORTB OP BILLS. Both Houses are now vigorously at work, and en deavoring to make up for loot time; and, from pre sent appearances, I should judge that there would be folly the usual amount of legislation. Thß larger portion of the bllla are of a looal or private nature and relate to every imaginable subjeot. We bave acta to change tbe homely names ol pretty women; to divorce once happy beings from the holy bonds of matrimony; to confer additional rights upon'adopt ed children ;to charter hotel oompanies; to prevent unruly boys from eatehlDg fish in certain streams in certain seasons ol the year, fco.,-Scq. Mush of this legislation will be saved by the adoption of one of the proposed constitutional amendments. Many bills relate to euhjeots over which the courts have jurisdiction, and fair and impartial justice could more 'easily and more certainly be meted out at home, where all parties eonld be heard, than upon an exparte hearing before the Legislature. DIVORCE CASKS. Especially ought the courts to have exclusive ju risdiction in divorce, oases. Our laws upon that subjeot are quite lenient enough for the well being of the community. The courts are open to such cases, and judges generally do not turn a deaf ear to Caere or merit.- Yet the process is somewhat lengthy, and to new beginners a little tedious, and they find it much easier to obtain tbe passage of an act of Aaiembly than to pursue the slow forms of law. That tbe end* of justice would be best served by a trial at home, where all parties ean be heard, there can be no question.' There can be no doubt that we are drifting too far in thia direction, and the proposed amendment will correct one of the greatest legislative evils of the age. FBA.UDS ON SOLDIERS. A resolution has passed both Houses appointing a committee to Inquire into alleged frauds, which have been practiced upon soldiers by their offioers, in withholding local bounties. There Is mush eomplslnt upon this subjeot. It Is alleged that officers bolding commissions in the army have repeatedly defrauded re-enlisted soldiers from looal bounties. It is to be hoped that this thing may be ferreted out, and that the guilty may be brought to justice. FBANK. Public Entertainments# Chrstmut-street Theatre. The “ Colleen Bawn ” was played on Saturday, and the matlnde was excellently attended. Both Miss Gfermon and Miss Glmber are nice singers, and fill their parts fairly. The scenic botch which represents the sky over the roof of Myles' cabin bat not yet been altered. We are surprised at this, Inasmuch as we have before adverted to it. The whole view of the stage In this scene la rendered unpleasant by this one wretched defeot. Squares and triangles, lines horizontal and perpendicular, transverse beams and awkward hy> pothenuse* are exhibited In this counterfeit of excel lence ; sea-green is dovetailed with sky-blue—or, at lqgst, would be if it could. The soene at least possesses the merit of fidelity to itseir, for the olouda are merely spots of paint, and the sky and ground look a* It they were cutting acquaintance rather than beginning It. The whole soene it most miserable. We have not dwelt upon it before, because we hoped it would be correeted. The management, wbioh la ueually conscientious, has not at all come up to the hope of the public In tbl* particular, and deserves to be very severely condemned. As long as this terrible balk in the performance lasts, the Neu> Chestnut will not be worth visiting, and we advise all lovers of the beautiful to stay away. If anything else in the play were good, thia soene would be bad, especially when the omission of the interview with Eily O'Conner is taken into consideration. Walkut. street Theatre.— Mr. Edwin Adams commences an engagement this evening, appearing as Hamlet, and at the Akch-etbbbt Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams appear in two of their favorite charac terizations. ■-'* The Dilkohico Association announces a grand concert at Sansom-street Hall to-night, at whioh Mesdames Brown and Purnell, Mr. Ira D. Cliff, and Mario, the jußtly popular tenor, will sing. The pro gramme la liberally selected from the Italian opera, and the concert promise* to be popular and pleasant. Bcttrb’s Ports ait or thb President. —Mr. J. O. Buttre, the well-known engraver, has just brought out a portrait of Mr. Lincoln, whtoh, from ita good likeness, fine execution, and very low price, will certainly command an immense sale. It is the size of Stuart’i well-known Washington and 'of Nagle’s equally popular lull-length of Henry Olay. It is engraved in mezzotint, the slothing and shading being lined in. It shows Mr. Lincoln standing in a room, plainly furnished with table, Inkstand, and chair—fewer accessories, in fact, than are usually lntroduecd. The pose of the figure is natural and easy, and the features of the face are very expres sively rendered. Thle portrait is unusually sheap— only $3. Mr. J. P. Skelly, 908 Arch street, Is agent for Its sale, and we believe that specimen impres sions may be seen and purchased at Messrs. Earle’s galleries, In Chestnut street.. There are no proofs on India paper, and, therefore, the earlier the pur chase of a print, the sharper the Impression. Thb Fins Arts.— For the information of the lov ers of the fine arts, we notioe that a'sale of modern oil paintlDgs takes place at the Dusseldorf Gallery, New York, on the 33d and 31th of this month. The splendid collection of Messrs. Bailey fc Go , with which many of our citizens are familiar, Is in the sale. It is seldom that sueh opportunities occur for connoisseurs and collectors of fine originals. Gen. Cam. Schttez on thb War.— At the great war meeting lu Tammany Hall, New York, to aid in recruiting Gen. Haneock’a eorps, Carl Schurz made a very forcible and sensible speeoh. He said: “It Is my profound eonvietion that tbe downfall of the re bellion ie but a question of time. But it is also my profound conviction that the question of time is the principal question far us to look at, To lose time is to lose resources , is to lose money, is to lose ground Private Thomas Abrahams, 139th New York, who guarded Boyle at Williamsburg, let him escape and desert to the enemy. It was through this wretch that the rebels in Richmond were apprised of the movement of General Butler to release our captives in the Libby and on Belle lele, twelve hours before bis troops reaehed Bottom’s Bridge, which they found burned. For this erime General Butler had Abrahams tried. He has been eon victed and sentenced to be shot, and the President has approved of this aet of justice. THE CITY. Thfinuoi MARCH 12,1863.
