WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1884.
THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN.
A Correct Statement of the Recent Disaster.
The. following special correspondence we print,
even at this late date, as It 1. doubtless the molt in.
telllglble of all the accounts of the late unfortu
nate .operations in Florida:
HEADQUARTERS, DrSTBIOT FLORIDA,
Jacksonville, March 12, 1884.
I have .een no aooountof the battle of Olustee,
that I thought was likely to satisfy the public.
Correspondent, of The Press may do their utmo.t to
give a correct and complete aeoount of an engage
ment, but in the midst of the hurry and excitements
of a desire to be in time, it is utterly impossible for
them to put together anything better than a lietoro
geuious and garbled statement of what ha. taken
place. Especially hare the preliminary oauseaof
the disaster been lightly treated, or entirely over
looked.
POLICY OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Our landing in Jacksonville waa a complete sur
prise to the rebels, and they were in no condition to
receive us. Our.maroh was, consequently, one eon
tinual triumph, with small loss until our oavalry
had advanced within two miles of Lake City, the
first objective point in the campaign. It was at this
time our flrstgreat mistake occurred, major General
Gilmore supposed the rebels had really no force of
any importance in the State, and that they were
quite indifferent to lta fate. Reconciliation and re
construction were the leading ideas that occupied
the attention of onr commanders. Their talk and
manners'iudieated the presence of civil magistrates
more thim bf army officers. 11 Wo came here,” said
GeneralGUmora, “ not so much to fight aa to oon
oiiiate the inhabitants, and accept their homages of
loyalty No raiding waa to be allowedin the State.
The new converts to the Federal Government were
permitted to go and come as, suited their conveni
ence. Privileges were guarantied to them which
were denied to our ever-loyal Northern people.
Whilst we were thus resting upon a bed of roses, en
joying sweet dreams of peaceful and easy oonqueats,
the vipers we had warmed to life in our bosoms were
in alliance with our deadly toe*, and aiding them in
their preparation, to itlr g.u, to death.
But this was not our worst mistake. The policy
of conciliation, adopted here, did not allow our offi
cers to levy soy contributions upon the country for
the support of the army. The most stringent orders
were issued in regard to touching, under any cir
cumstances, private property. A captain was put
in arrest lor permitting his men, who were doing
duty on an extreme outpost, to kill a pig for their
supper. Thousands of these animals are running
half- wild In the wood*, and no one in particular pre
tends to own them. I learn that this offloy’s name
has been sent to the President with a recommenda
tion that he be summarily dismissed from the ser
vice. As living off from the country was out of the
question, and as it was impossible to transport sup
plies to meet the wants of an advancing army, over
■and roads, nothing was left for us to do but call in
our advance and stand still till an engine could be
procured, put in repair, and transportation by rail
effected. This delay afforded preolous time to
the enemy, and was fatal to us. Finnegan calli in
big outposts; generals and armies are sent from
Georgia and South Carolina; a point of great stra
tegic importance is selected near Olustee, and every
thing put in a state of readiness to crush at the same
time our army and all our visionary hopes. Had no
other thought been entertained than that we were
in an enemy’s country, snd had our commanders
taken and improved all the advantages which the
laws of war had put into their hands, the issues of
the Olustee struggle might have been reversed, our
army safely entranced in Bake City, and Florida
wrested from the hands of the rebels.
GENERAL SEYMOUR BLINDED.
The battle of Olustee will take rank among the
bloodiest and moat fruitless slaughters of the war.
When General Seymour left Jacksonville, the 18bh
Feb., he expected to fight a battle near Lake City, the
Slat, and apt before. This impression seems to have
seized his mind, and dung to it with the force of fa
tality. When he left Barber’s early on the 19th, he
was |to!d ' thatl he would meet a large force which
would drive him back again. Native Floridians in
sisted that, near Olustee, Finnegan and Gardner
had collected an army much larger than our own*
All these statements seemed to make no impression
whatever upon his mind* .And when, about six
miles beyond Sanderson, the rebel pickets were
driven in, no preparation was made to ascertain the
position of the enemy, or for a general engagement.
Onward, with all possible speed, onward was the
spirit which ruled the hour, Much of the artillery)
and the guns of whole companies were empty, but,
as if this were a matter of little or no importance,
onward was the order. It is the strangest thing in
the world that this was so. The enemy’s advanced
guard, repeating precipitately on the approach of
our XorccfWasbat a repetition of what we had wit
nessed all the way from Jacksonville to near Lake
City. This had been done so frequently that it ap
peared to be the established order of things with the
Florida soldiers. Our policy had been to dash after
them, and capture and scatter as many as possible.
We had met with no repulse and few casualties,
Our successes had unfortunately inspired us with a
contempt for our foes. A battle commenced unex
pectedly and without preparation, must be fought
to great disadvantage.
THB SATTIrB GROUND,
Juat aa we encounter the rebel picket*, let the
reader fancy our army moving along to the weal in
three columns, In oloae order, on the south side of a
railroad, then turning squarely to the right, orossing
to the other aide, and making a northwesterly direc
tion. The dirt road makes this detour to the right
to avoid a long oypress swamp through which the
said road passes. Leaving the army behind for a few
moments, let us pass on and examine the ground on
which the bloody engagement is about to take place.
Soon after croaaing the railrdad we come to a seriea
of swamps, which, with ocean pond, stretches from
the railroad track in a direction a Uttle west of
northwest, on which the enemy’s left wing rests, and
by which it ii amply proteoted. From this point the
rebel line extends south to the railroad. A right
angled triangle, with the rebel line as the base, only
covered, the railroad embankment as the perpendicu
lar line, and the aeries of swamps as the hypothenuse,
will give a clear and remarkably eorreet outline of
the field. The rebel right and left flanks were amply
protected by the swamps, There was also a atrip of
low marsh land In the enemy’s front, and perhaps
ereation affords but few positions that an enemy
could occupy to greater advantage. Our army passed
into this triangle through the upper part of the hy
pothenuse, and oeoupied a position a Uttle below the
apex. This dirt road, which was'our line of march,
passed between two swamps, and was so narrow
that many of our men had to wade the swamps knee
deep in mud and water to get into action.
THE BATTUE,
As slated above the skirmishing commenced at
the time our advance guard crossed the railroad. The
40th Massachusetts Cavalry, 001. Henry, the Inde
pendent Battalion, Major Stevens, and the 7th Con
necticut Infantry participated in this preliminary
action. Our skirmishers here halted till Captains
Hamilton and Elder, with their batteries, came up.
As they move on together two guns are brought
into battery and throw a few shells into the woods
(pine barrens) in our front, but no response is
elicited. The skirmishers we have driven in have
disappeared, and they were, in fact, nothing but
decoy ducks to lure us on and show the way to the
ambuscade.
Occasionally a squad of a dozen or so are to be seen
in the roads and other exposed points to encourage
us in the pursuit of our prey, and on we gb, cavalry,
infantry, and artillery as near together aa possible.
No enemy of any importance, nor signs of a camp
are to be seen any where. No sound is to be heard
but the solemn tramp of our army, and the trembling
murmur of the winds among the huge and lofty
pines. We move on, the 7th Connecticut in the
advance, we pass the swamps, and emerge into the
open space beyond, when suddenly a conoentrio Are
from the enemy’s curved lice is poured upon us.
Colonel Hawley teeing the hot work in whioh bit
advance is engaged, orders up the 7th New Hamp
shire, by the way, one of the best regiments in the
service- On this oceasion, however, it was not pos
sible for it to appear to the best advantage. Arms
had been taken away and bad ones given to the
men. In the terrible roar of battle orders were not
understood, and in deploying it got into inextricable
confusion. It did but little execution, lost heavily,
and did well to get out of the way aa aeon as possi
ble. Hamilton’s battery was posted in the centre;
Elder’s upon our right, and Langdon’s on the left.
When the 7th New Hampshire regiment beoame
confused, Col. Hawley brought forward the Bth U,
E. Colored, 001. Charles W. Fribley. A part of this
regiment came into aatlon with empty guns, and
being,under a terrible fire and aramped for room, it
was found impossible to form a line of battle to the
best advantage. Considering that this was the first
time the regiment had been under fire, it behaved
remarkably well. The reports that it got into eon*
fusion and run from the field are certainly false. I
cannot account for its good eonduot, considering
that the men were raw reoruits, only on the ground
that they were under the command of superior offi
cers. As the Bth fell back, having been under fire
ah hour and a half, Col. Barton brought his brigade
into action. The 47th New York was posted on the
left, a part of the 48th New York to the left of Ha
milton’s battery, the other part on the right, and
the' 115th New York formed the right of our line.
Thle brigade did nobly. The enemy’s left presied
hard upon the listh, but every men stood his ground
like a veteran. The 47th and 4Sih held the oentre
firmly. The battle has now raged furiously for two
hours, and our losses in officers and men have been'
terrible.
Col. Montgomery,’with the 64th Massachusetts
and the Ist North Carolina (colored) Regiments,
was left back at the crossing of the railroad with
the train. Hearing the oonstant roar of artillery
and muiketry in front, he sent forward his aid for
orders, but, w}thout waiting for him to return, he
moved forward with the 64th, and, as he passed the
swamp*, received orders to take position on our left,
at the enemy was pressing us hard in that quarter.
Thla was done, and, aa Gen. Seymour said after
wards, to his entire satisfaction. The 47th and 48 th
New York are nearly out of ammunition, and have
been in action about, two hours and a half. The
colonel of each regiment and many other offlseri are
badly wounded—some are killed. OoL Montgome
ry brings the Ist North Carolina, Lieut. Reed com
manding, into ae ion. It passes between the 47th
and 48 1 h on the double- quick, and is cheered by those
retlrin g regiments as it goes into battle. The somlng
of these fresh troops upon the field, and the manner
in wK«h it WW done, tAthet staggered the seamy
for a moment. But the oars came thundering la,
bringing him reinforcements. These North Carolina
colored soldiers and the 64th Massachusetts now
held our left, aided by the artillery, and even pressed
the enemy baok. The battle rages furiously all along
the line, and the slaughter is terrible. Every man
seems determined to do his whole duty, No regi
ment went, into notion more gallantly, fought more
desperately, or did better execution than the
Ist North. .Carolina (colored) troops. Their
white comrades generality take pleasure in awarding
to them this honor. Men were dropping constantly
aU along the line, but the living-fought all the mote
bravely. These freedmen evidently preferred fall
jng on the field of battle to fainug Into the hands
of their barbarous foes. This regiment was not in
action over two hours and a half, and yet its loss in
officers and enlisted men was very nearly as heavy
. as that of any other reglmeut.
THE RBTBAT,
The battle having now raged for four hours, from
2 to 6 p. M., it appears the god of war became sa
tisfied with the slaughter on both sides, and, as if
by mutual consent of psrties, the fighting oeasod.
We were allowed quietly to withdraw from the
field. The five pieces of artillery we lost were not
taken from us, but left on the ground, beoause the
horses and gunners had either fled or been killed.
Ail but one of our batteries were within musket
range of the rebel lines, and some artillerymen were
killed with buck-shot. We withdrew, slowly, but
the regiments were broken into a large number of
fragments, and badly mixed up. It was a painful
sight to see so many brave wounded men writhing
in agony, but when we were compelled to leave
them there—they not being recognized by the enemy
as soldiers, especially the negroes—ho language can
describe our sorrow and regret.
A FALSE STATEMENT.
The statement made in the Providence Journal
by Lieutenant Eddy, of the 3d Rhode Island Bat
tery, that it was the running of-their supports, the
Btb United States Colored foegkment; which caused
them to lose their guns, csn bd proved to be A-base
slander by more than five -hundred' witnesses. The
fact is the negroes held their ground and kept the
battery from falling into the bands of the enemy for
two hours after this Eddy had left it with his slight
wound. These brave but slandered men were the
last to abandon the battery. The enemy never
drove them from it or took it from them. But the
cause of the loss of these guns is under investiga
tion, and a report no doubt will bs made fixing the
responsibility where it properly belongs. Did we
not know Lieutenant Eddy, and his feeling, toward*
colored troops, we might hope that when he recovers
from his lright he would take pleasure in correcting
his false statements.
NOT ONE CHANGE FOE A VIOTOBY.
The battle of Olustee was fought with aU the odds
on the enemy’s side. Our men were wearied and
foot-sore with long marohing; they had taken but
very little refreshments—some not any—slnoe early
breakfast; they bad no expectations of a fight till
actually drawn Into it; tbey fought on ground
where the room waa not sufficient to form a line of
battle or deploy to the beat advantage; the enemy
was at least three thousand more numerous than
our force; we knew nothing of the ground and posi
tion of the enemy, exoept as we learned them by
dear experience, and, under such an array of un
favorable circumstances, no bravery or skill could
save the day.
Our loss in killed, wounded, and mißslng is
strangely great, being not less than nineteen hun
dred. Previous to the battle we captured property
that is worth to the Government a halt million ol
dollars ; and in that battle, together with the retreat,
lost not less than a million dollars,, besides the
precious lives that were sacrificed.
The enemy’a loss in killed and wounded is reported
by numeious deserters, and in the rebel press, to be
not far from eight hundred.
GEN. SEYMOUR BRAVE.
Gen. Seymour was iu the hottest of the battle,
and seemed to be oblivious to all thoughts or feelings
of danger. After getting Into the ambuscade he did
all in his power to bring out, by desperate fighting,
a favorable issue. Be may be censurable for some
things, but cowardice or excessive prudence should
not be put into the list. VIDE.
The Mining of Libby Prison.
THE BBFOBT CONFIRMED BY GENERAL NEAL DOW.
General Neal Dow made a long and interesting
speeeh at Portland, Maine, on Friday last, at the
public reception given him by the citizens, and in
the couise ol his remarks confirmed the report that
the rebels in Rlohmond mined the Libby Prison at
the approach of Kilpatrick's forces.
The following is General Dow’s account of this
barbarous act:
“ They told us of Kilpatrick’s raid* On the first of
March, arrangements had been made to receive him.
And what do you suppose the arrangements were?
To defend Richmond! Was that it! No. They
mined Libby Prison, with the intention of blowing
up it and us; to use their own phrase, ‘to blow us
to hell! 1 [Voice. Is there proof of that?] That is
capable or proof. I cannot tell you how the fact
was intimated to us the next day, without betraying
those from whom the intimation came. On the
morning of Wednesday, March 2, after we had been
informed of the gunpowder plot, Dlok Turner, the
inspector of military prisons, was asked by many
officers, at different times, if we were correctly in*
formed, and he assured us it was true; that a large
quantity Of powder bed been placed under the
prison, to blow us up if Kilpatrick had come in,
and that it would be done yet, if attempts were
made to rescue us.
“Rev. Dr. Smith, president of Randolph Macon
College, well known down South, and known in the
North too as an able and influential man, came into
the prison to visit Lieut. Col. Nichols, of the 18th
Connecticut Regiment, with whom he was acquaint*
ed. He said that powder had been plased in thebase<
mentforthe purpose of blowing us into atoms.’ Col.
Nichols did not believe it. Dr. Smith assured him it
was so* He had then come from the office of Judge
Ould, commissioner of exchanges, who told him it
was so. Rev. Dr. McCabe said the same thing to
Col. Cesnola, of the 4th N. Y. Cavalry, and others.
Some officers were in the kitchen at win
dow, directly over the door leading into the cel
lar. Major Turner, the commandant of the prison
—Dick Turner —and four or five rebel offiaers
went into the cellar, and on coming out they re
mained a few moments at the door, and one of
the officers said, *By G , if you touoh that off
it will blow them to h , sure enough!’ On the
morning we came away, Major Turner assured
Captain Sawyer and Captain Flynn, who were ex
changed in connection with myself, that powder was
there, and he said, ‘ Bather then have you rescued, I
would have blown you to h—, even if we had gone
there ourselves.’ At first we could not believe it;
not that we did not suppose them oApable of it. We
did not suppose them to be fools enough to be guilty
of an aot like that. The destruction of nine hundred
Federal officers in that way would not have been a
fatal blow to the Union cause, but it would have
drawn down upon them the execrations of all man
kind; it would have united theNorthem people as one
man, and would have filled the Northern heart with
an intense indignation, and when Richmond should
be captured, it would have been utterly destroyed,
and blotted out forever from the earth. At first we
could not believe that such an act could have been
contemplated, but tye now regard it as established
by satisfactory proof. Such is the temper of the
leaders of the rebellion! Such their character !*>
Obsequies of Owen Lovejoy.
(From the N. Y. Herald of yesterday 1
Tbe remains of the late Hon. Owen Lovqjoy were
yeaterda; “churched” in the usual form at Ply
mouth Church, South Brooklyn. The aolemn cere
mony took place at half past one o’clock in the af
ternoon, in the presence of a very large audienoe,
which, for the most part, consisted of ladies. The
pressure wss so great that the tabernaele was well
filled long before the hour Axed for the commence
ment of the ceremonies. The services were of the
most impressive kind.
The funeral procession moved up tbe aisle at about
two o’clock to the solemn music of the organ. The
coffin was of rosewood, silver plated; on the lid
were placed a wreath and cross of white oamelias
and evergreens. The inscription was simply:
OWEN LOVHJOV,
Died March 36, 1864,
Aged 63 years.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. Win. Cullen Bryant,
J. H. Bryant (brother of Mr. W. C. Bryant), E.
Tappan, Mr. Davis (colored, formerly a slave), Dr.
Better, Mr. Carpenter, Rev. Mr. Jocelyn, and Dr>
Dexter Fairbanks.
As the corpse was borne up the aisle the choir
sang, “ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecner then delivered an
impressive invocation. The Rev. Dr. Cheever fol
lowed, by reading from the hook of Exodus: “And
Moses made an end of speaking all these words unto
Israel.” In commenting on the ocoaslon, Dr.
Cheever said that in the death of Owen Lovejoy a
whole nation was bereaved. We oould at this
juncture ill afford to lose one suoh hero. May God
raise up one other champion like this lost one to
take his place, and to baptize his followers into the
great conflict. May God grant that, ac his brother’s
spirit and mantle fell on blip, the aplrit and mantle
of both may fall upon us. trusting In Christ to labor
on with the hope of his ineffable consolation—” In
aamueh as you have done it unto the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
A hymn by Mr. Bryant, beginning:
” Oh, lay hlmin hlsplsce of rest,”
was then sung.
Mr. Beeoher’* address followed the hymn. He an
nounced that the remaine would be removed to-mor
row (today) to the home of thedeoeaeed. He would,
however, ask the privilege of honoring his dust here,
glad that men who have reaped abundant aeorn
should be honored for the fidelity that had brought
him scorn. In concluding his address, Mr. Beecher
said: “He seea through the twilight the day of his
land, and hia own immortal day waa nearer than he
thought. Dead, he yet speaketh. Young men will
be inspired by his words and works. His work is
not half done. I oannot mourn a good man gone to
Heaven. The work goes right on. A drop from the
ocean makes no void. The stream of God’s provi
dence flows on. Thank God, we oan spare him. We
shall meet him yet when we are permitted to wake
from our dream of life to live and to receive from the
lipa of the Master the reward he already wins.”
After a prayer by Dr. Storrs, the ceremonies con
cluded.
The following hymn, written for the oooaalon by
Jobn H. Bryant, of Princeton, Illinoic, was sung by
the choir and congregation:
O lay him in his place or rest—
His earnest, stormy life is o’er;
Let the green sods of spriDg be prest
Around the form we see no more.
How throbbed his warm and generous heart;
What mighty passions thrilled his frame;
How beamed nis eye witb sudden start
At sound of Freedom’s holy name I
To her be gave his earnest life,
And toiled through seeming hopeless years,
Long years of scorn and hate and strife,
Till now her glorious day appears.
Strong words of truth that oannot die
He spoke in item and high debate; ’
With manly front and dauntless eye
Met the wild charge of rebel hate.
As Moses from the mountain steep,
He saw the enfranchised land before,
He leaves the boon for us to keep ;
Bis work was done, he asked no more.

Hon. E. M. Stanton , Secretary of War:
Sib : I take the liberty of- asking through you
that something be done for a young lad named Orion
P. Howe, of Waukegan, 111., who belongs to the
66th Illinois, but at present absent at home wounded
I think he is too young ror West Point, but would
be the very thing for a midshipman.
When the assault at Vicksburg was at its height,
on the 19th of May, and I was in front near the
road, which formed my line of attack, this young
lad name up to me, wounded and bleeding, with a
good, healthy boy’s cry, “General Sherman, lend
some cartridges to Colonel Malmborg, the men are
nearly ail out.” "What is the matter, my boy I”
“ They shot me In the leg, sir; but I eango to the
hospital. Send the cartridges right away.” Even
where we stood the shot fell thick, and I told him to
go to the rear at once, I would attend to the oar*
tridges, and off he limped. Just before he disap
peared oh the hill, he turned and called as loud as
he oould, “ Calibre 64.” I have not seen the lad
since, and his colonel (Malmborg), on inquiry, gives
me bis address ss above, and says he is a bright, in
telligent boy, with a fair preliminary education.
What arrested my attention then was—and what
renewed my memory of the fact now—is that one so
young, carrying a musket hall through his leg,
should have found his way to me on that fatal spot,
and delivered hit message, not forgetting the very
Important part, even, of the oalibre of his musket,
64, wbioh you know is an unusual one.
I*ll warrant that the boy has in him the elements
of a man, and I commend him to the Government
as one worthy the fostering care of some one of its
national institutions.
1 am, with respect, your obedient servant,
W. T. SHERMAN,
Major General Commanding.
General Burnside on Black Troops.
New Yoke City, March 26,1864.
Jonathan Sturgis. Esq., President VnionLeague Club,
New York— Mt Dear Sib : On my arrival here this
morning I learn that the 26th United States Colored
Regiment is to receive its oolors to-morrow, prior to
its embarkation for Annapolis, and I very much re
gret that an important official engagement in New
England to- morrow will deprive me of the pleasure
of being present at the presentation.
As this regiment is to be in the 9th Army Corps,
opportunities will no doubt arise In the future for
me to add my share of encouragement to its mem
bers In starting out upon their new work. Bui no
opportunity will probably offer In the luture when I
could so well express to your most honorable and
loyal association my high appreciation of your very
successful work In organizing this regiment, and my
sincere thanks to the patriotic ladles who present
the colors, for their kind, generous, and considerate
treatment of a regiment which Is to be attached to
the ooips tbat,l have the honor to command.
It may not be amiss for me to mention a remark
made by me at a breakfast given at the Astor House,
in New York, In iB6O, to the officers of one of my
Massachusetts regiments, then en route for Annapo
lis, preparatory to startlog on our North Carolina
expedition. . . . _
It was on the morning that we heard of Dupont's
success on the coast of south Carolina. I said:
“It should be a source or congratulation to every
loyal person that alodgment had been madeby Union
troops upon that part of the Southern coast where
slavery exists to the maximum extent. The mon
strous assertion has been made by the traitors that
their new Government is to have Blavery for Its
cornerstone, and that the institution can be used
by them as a positive belligerent force. And now
we will have an opportunity of determining whether
or not this force cannot be turned to our own ao
oount; and it lc clearly tbe duty of every general In
the field to neutralize, or turn to Mg, own acoount,
any force that he may find himself confronted with
by tbe enemy, whether it be active or latent.”
And now, sir, your association is to send to-mor
row to the same rendezvous, Annapolis, a regiment,
the rank and file of whioh are colored men, many of
whom were in November, 18SI, produoing bv their
labor food for traitors in arms, or doing other work
Whioh enabled armed traitors to leave their home*
for the purpose of striking at the Government that
had done them nought but good.
I am very sorry I cannot be with you to-morrow.
Very sincerely your friend, .
A. E. BURNSIDE, Major General.
Thackbbav's House.—A London letter has the

To the Editor of The Press .*
Sis: The excellent remark, of » Anti-Nuiaanoe ”
in jour tHue of this morning, have determined me
to offer one or two additional adggeation. on the
subject ol the great passenger-railway mania,
There mb many people who keep their own e.r
rlage, in thin elty, «ome for pleuure, and some be
onuie their builnee.'or pro/eiiion render. It neess
aary. To thl. latter bias. I belong; and we, a, well

It would be IntereitlDg to know wboi. re.Don.Lbla
for the alate of Sixteenth street, from Walnut to
Vine J heie a track wa» laid .everal year, aeo uoon
which not a single ear ha* ever been ran, but which
has to the pretent time been kept in place, to the
great detriment of all horses and carriages pa»«iag
along that thoroughfare. Were any one to aon
plain to the president of either the Chestnut aud
Walnut or the Race and Vlne-*treet» road, that
functionary would probably diaolalm all responsi
bility in the matter, and If urged, would say, "Well,
what are you going to do about ltl”
Pat.enger railways are, beyond all question, a
great convenience, but if we are to be made the vio
tlma of speculators, who buy the aetlon of a Legit,
lature at Harrisburg, finding their profit In lelllng ■
out to other eompanlea who merely abandon the
track., we who have to drive must either submit to
great injustice, or manage to bid higher than those
who would thus impose ou u>.
This evil has really become gigantic. It will be
oarrlea r° far, before long, unless aheoked, that we
shall actually have the - l dummy” running through
our streets, and then we may bid farewell to com
fort or safety in either riding or driving. A. bill to
authorize the introduction of this machine, ao for-
Wigftble to horses, on our city railways, ha. already
bien'brought before the Legislature, and may at
any tunc be passed.
A republican, government 1* a moat excellent
thing, but not lithe people place power in the hands

The Union Kailroad BUI,
Philadelphia, March 29, ism.
To the Editor of The Press;
Sib : In The Press of yesterday I ne an article op
posing the “ Union Railroad” bill, Thl. article u
signed “Anti-Nuisance.” Now, who It "Aunti
Nuisance 1” Very likely some aunty of one of tfie
railroads already In operalion, who are the men who
have been for the last week so bitterly opposing the
passage of this street-railway bill. Let us have their
name*. I am in favor of establishing a* many line*
of street ears as we oin have. The more numerous
the street railways, the more certain the masses of
the people will be of a cheap and speedy means of
riding from one part of our large efty to another;
and, when ready to start, those desiring to go-will
not have to wait from half an hour to a whole hour.
We need a road of this kind from oar part of tha
oity; it will form a great luxury to poor women,
who are just as easily fatigued as those wbo have
carriages. It will be a rest for the laboring man,
who can afford to ride in a street car, butcannotsport
a tnefc wagon. It will prevent a tyrannical mono
poly by other linea; It will lessen the fare, or pre
vent il. going up; and it will Interfere with do busi
ness nor eet of men, save the aunties of other roads.
They are not poor men who lament and weep over
the prospect of another -■ street railway.” I apeak
for the people. It iB nothing to us what capitalists
engage in establishing these lines of street oars, and
yet it would be better for u. to have a new company
engage in this; it would create more competition. I
consider "the people” should have a voice la this
matter, and as you have permitted the use of your
columns to those opposing the biU, please let one of
the people speak through the acme medium. I am
not an “ aunty,” nor a kind friend, nor a capi
talist, nor “any other” speculator, nor do lowa
any stock in any railroad; therefore Ido not oppose
the bill.
I get tired, as moat men do, at hard work, and I
have a long daik walk, hly wire does her own mar
keting, and is her own nurse when she goes out. I
have no carriage; therefore lam for the new rail
way. The people have cent men to the Legislature
to work for them, and we expeot them to consider u«
and our wants, and disregard the howl of " Aunties"
and interested parties. CITIZEN,
PERSONAL.
Dr. W. M. Loroque, a well-known druggist of
Baltimore, died on Saturday. He was up early, aud
conversed as usual, and had partially been dressed,
■While sitting upona lounge, In his room, a change
was suddenly observed in bis appearance, by those
in attendance, and in a few brief moments he ceased
to breathe. Dr. Loroque was one of the few who
escaped from the massacre by the negroes of San
Domingo, when they rose against the white inhabi
tants, near the olose of the last century. His lather,
mother, brother, and a sister, of all this family,
alone escaped, their escape being aided by faithful
slaves. He was one of the defenders of Baltimore
in the war of ISI2, and was at the battle of Biadena
butg.
Mr. Frank Wood, a well known member of the
press of New York city, died on Saturday night at
Haverstraw. He was quite young, but had made
hi. mark in literature, having been the editor of
Vanity Fair for » considerable period, and after
wards the liramatio critic of Wilkes’ Spirit. He had
also mado some slight ventures in the dramatla
line, having assisted in preparing “ The Taming of
a Butterfly,” recently performed at Mrs. John
Wood’s theatre. He was a pleasant companion,
perhaps to strangers a little cynical and cold, bat
when known thoroughly was kindly endeared to hi*
acquaintances,
Hon. C. J. Faulkner, ex-Minister to F.-anoe,
came at far as Winchester, with a view to coming
within our lines and taking the oath. At Winches
ter he wss met by hi! brother-in-law, who per
suaded him from his purpose. The brother-la-law
is strongly opposed to the Union Government au
thorities, because he was arresteda short time since
and held as a hostage for the safe and speedy return
of a loyal citizen carried off by the rebels, named
Dooley.
The estimation put upon Mr. Jeff. Davis In
North Carolina is shown by this observation in the
late speeeh of Governor Vance. He said: “If
every man In this county (Wilkes) who had used
abusive language toward Jeff. Davis and the Confe
derate Government Were td be put in jail, he would
have to address his entire audience through the pri
son bars.”
The wife of the rebel Senator Henry S. Foote
arrived within our lines, and had an interview with
Gen. Sullivan. Mrs. F. says she is disgusted with
the Confederacy, cannot live there, and has oome
wsthin our lines to take the oath and go North.
Mrs. F. had her child and a nurse with her. She
was, however, sent back again into Dixie.
Hon. Fierre Soule hai married the beautiful
relict of Robert Stuart, and the two have passed
through our lines and gone North—probably on
their way to some foreign country. The lady is the
owner of eome property in West Tennessee, and
took the oath under the President’* amnesty procla
mation.
It is stated that Gen. Roseorans’ senior aide-de
camp arrived In Washington on Saturday, from St.
Louis, Missouri, to protest against the aotlonof the
Senate Military Committee in the ease of Uol. San
derson. The Secretary of War at onae ordered him
under arreat, for violation of the rule* of the De
partment, in being absent from his post of duty with
out leave from Washington.
Thomas McKeon, a sailor, who bad been oon
victed in tbe Court of Oyer and Terminer of Brook
lyn of the murder of John Oonlon In August last,
was, on Saturday, sentenced to be banged on Fri
day, the 20th of May next.
General Fitz John Porter has retumed-to New
York after an absence of several weeks In Colorado
Territory. It is true, as stated, that a Mr. McOan
non introduced a resolution into the Territorial
Legislature asking General Porterto leave Colorado.
A litter of President Madison onoe observed
that “ we Southern wives are but mistresses of sera

Fatal Accident at the Pennsylvania Rail-
HOAX) Depot in Fittsbubq.—On Saturday after
noon a newsboy, aged fifteen years, named George
Austin, was killed at the Liberty-street passenger
depot. The Eastern train was just arriving, and the
little fellow being anxious to get on board to sell hi*
papers, endeavored to jump upon the steps of a pass
ing ear, when he missed his footing and fell between
the train and the platform. He was injured so se
verely that he died in a short time. He resided with
his mother on Knoll street. The colon;. 1 held »n
inquest on the body, and a verdict In aooordanoe
with the iaota was rendered.
Monument to Captain Washington.— The
officeis of the Ist battalion, lZth United States In
fantiy have determined to erect a handsome monu
mint on the spot where Captain Crawford Washing
ton fell at Vicksburg. This is a liberal determine
tion, and an honor worthy of the brave, daring, and
heroic captain. Captain Washington, a son or the
late Reade Washington, Esq., practised law for
some years in Pittsburg, and was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, and we
believe a family, to mourn over his sad fate. They
are now residing with his worthy father-in-law,
Rev. Dr. S. W. Crawford, near Ghambersburg.
Captain Washington was a brother-in-law of Gen,
Crawford, one of the heroes ol Gettysburg.
The Pittsburg Sanitary Fair.— At a meeting
of the Executive Committee it was determined to
plaoe the buildings for the Sanitary Fair in the Alle
gheny Diamond Square. The dimensions of the
buildings which It Is proposed to ereot are: Floral
hall, too by 120 feet; ladles’ bazaar, 180 by 63 ; re
fectory, 188 by 63: exhibition and leetute hall, 180 by
93; mechanics’ hall, 208 by 93—an aggregate of
67,164 square feet. This, with all tbe publio halls in
the city besides, is the smallest amount of space that
can possibly answer the requirements of the com
mittee. **
The Mecca Oil Wells.—The Warren (Pa.)
Chronicle states that the exoitement in Meosa con
sequent upon the Indications of new discoveries or
oil by deep boring, Is as great at this time as It has
ever been bßrore. A well has been lately sunk to a
depth of nearly a thousand feet, and those interested
have been purchasing land and leasing largely.
Within the last week, one company of men have
purchased land to the amount of fifty thouianddol
lars, and two other companies have purchased near
ly as much'. As some of these men have had large
experience at CMI Creek, It Is supposed that they
know what they are about.
