WAYNE P,IoVEACIII, Chairman.
The Sanitary Fair.
Our citizens have two months to organize
success in this patriotic enterprise, but, to
quote the language of a spirited correspond
ent, "we have not one moment to lose."
That we shall have a good-paying fair; in
any case, is beyond doubt; but this is not
the object. The directors of our great
people's offering on the altar of the national
cause will fail in their responsibility if they
do not make this Sanitary Fair thoroughly
worthy, of the most patriotic city hi the
Union. We must not be content with
much, but ask for more, remembering that
what we do is not for ourselves chiefly, but,
what is vastly of more account, for the na
tion in trouble, and for our soldiers in suf
fering. The day in which we live is worthy
in its opportunities of the most exalted pe
riod in our history, and every citizen, high
and low, should acquit himself nobly. In a
- word, the Fair in Philadelphia should sur
pass all other fairs of the kind. We trust
that our citizens in general are beginning to
work earnestly.
An advertisement to-day, signed by a
large number of our.most influential mer
chants, calls upon the dry-goods interest
throughout the city to make a distinctive
contribution to the Fair. In New York the
wholesale dry goods dealers raised $lOO,OOO
for the same object; but our own merchants
have hardly fixed the limits of their efforts
at one million of dollars. Oilier great in
terests may probably do as well, but all our
trades, manufacturers, and classes can
readily take _a share in what should be
a whole-hearted work Three or four
millions raised in this city-for the national
cause_ will be a noble investment in his
tory. Delaware will contribute to our gift,
and all Pennsylvania should organize to
make our representation full and generous.
But we must appeal chiefly to the ladies,
who are in a thousand ways persuasive ;
who can command where others can only
appeal, and whose unanimous purpose can
maker ur Fair all that we can dream of it.
By nature itself, the women of our commu
nity have the first right and interest in the
Fair, and perhaps the greatest duty. But,
at all events, Philadelphia has traditions
- which cannot be forgotten, and in the city
of Independence, in this year of our war for
the liberty of map, patriotic public spirit is
a common duty.
A Moral - Nuisance Abated.
A bill has passed both branches of the
State Legislature, which, when made a law
by the Governor's signature, will suppress
the great evil of illegitimare amusement in
the city. Thie bill makes it unlawful to hold
any public show, concert, or mummery of a
theatrical character, in any room or place of
the city, unless a license shah be had of the
Mayor upon payment of ten dollars to the
City Treasury for the whole or portion of
the year, neglect of the law - to be punished
by a fine of not more than one hundred dol
lars, or imprisonment not longer than three
months, or both. Another provision of the
bill is still more satisfactory, and though
"cakes and ale" are not abolished—the
dense prohibiting the distribution of malt
and spiritous liquors in concert saloons
having been stricken out of the bill, in favor
to a social custom of our German friends—
set, of a certainty, there shall be no
more "waiter girls" to " procure, offer,
furnish, or distribute any description of com
modities or refreshments whatever." We
apprehend that disreputable proprietors will
find some way of violating the spirit of this
law, which, of course, =mot reach every
evil of the case. If the cheap Hales,
known to the concert saloons, cannot carry
beer about during concerts, they can still
bring'refreshments when there is no music
or perfonramee. The elfect of the law may
be to make some of the saloon-keepers take
one step lower, from a room to a den ; but,
as the law effaces the most profitable and
attractive features of the business, it will
not be worth a general trial to make the
waiter-gin system pay again. Those who
have made money out of this gaudy disgust
can now tipple off the stand, bloated with
what they , have ; those who are beginning
theenterprise may as well give it up in de
spah., and mourn, like ALEXANDER, that
there are no more publics to seduce. We
congratulate the community that this bill is
passed, and especially we congratulate the
Mayor, whose services in this connection
should be recognized.
Any evening, passing the concert-saloon
neighborhood,, in Chestnut: street, the citi
zen cannot fail to notice the flourishing con
dition of those popular schools of vice.
Great placards, noisy brass bands, flaring
lights, even professional barkers at the
doors, show the shameless enterprise with
which this evil is carried on. More attrac
tion is displayed at the outside than perhaps
really exists in -doors, but nothing is want
ing to drown the conscience, good sense, Or
good taste of youth. The entertainment is
cheap and various, and a little of every vice
in the calendar may be had, for a shilling.
The public example thus set full in the face
of the city is shameful in the extreme ; and
we are glad, for the sake of fathers, mothers,
and children, that the Mayor will use every
effixt, not to abate it only, but to blot it out.
Progress in Maryland.
An important election, involving the greAt
question of emancipation in a direct form,
will shortly take place in our neighbor State
of Maryland. This fact alone shows the
rapid progress which public sentiment has
made during the war; but we shall riot be
surprised if the coming election will perma
nently decide the growing issue in that State
in favor of human liberty. We remark that
the great intelligent mass of non slavehold
ere—young Maryland, in other words, un
der lead of liar.Nßir WINTER De - vis—are
radically against the continuance of slavery;
but the number of slaveholders who take
side with the new sentiment is also remark
able. The Grand Council of the Union
- Leagues of Maryland has issued an address
to all the Councils, of the 6tate, which advo
cates a system of immediate and general
emancipation which will place Maryland at
once and forever
_in the category of free
States. This is significant of the spirit of a
people whose loyalty is earnest or is nothing.
The letter of Governor Thcas is not less
significant ; and the reassertion of the fol
lowing resolutions by the Union League has
an emphasis which is inspiring :
Resolved, That the origin and progress of the re•
hellion leave no room to doubt that the institution
of slavery has become an inattument in the hands of
traitors to build up an oligarchy and an aristocracy
on the ruins of Republican liberty 5 that its con
tinued titislenee .is incompatible with the matnte•
narce of Republican forms of governmentliulthe
United States ; that the emancipation proclamation
of the President ought to be made law by Congress,
and, Infect, by all the power placed by Congress in
the hands of the President; that traitors have no
sight to enforce the obedience of - Slaves ; and that,
against traitors in arms, the President should use
all men, white or black, in such way as they can be
Most useful, and to the extent to which they can be
'used, whether it be to handle a spade or shoulder a
musket.
Resolved, That the safety and interest of the
state of Maryland, and 'especially of her white la
boring people, require that slavery Mould cease to be
Tecogwired by the law of Maryland
Rebel Story-teillug.
A. person named Leman, who was sent
as Rebel Ambassador to Russia, where the
Czar refused to aclaiowledge or receive him,
has been lecturing in Georgia on " the sen
timent of Europe toward the Confederacy."
With matchless effrontery he declared that
Murope warmly sympathized with the
Rebels, with the exception of Russia, and
that "the financiers of London had taken
the Confederate loan, while they refused to
touch that of the United States." The fact
- is, the Confederate loan, now at 40 discount,
*was openly taken, not in London, bat in
Paris and Mind:fort, and none of the United
States loans have ever been offered to
- Emorkean capitalists. Mr_ LAMM not only
-says what is untrue, but says it so clumsily
that any person can detect the falsehood.
The White Refugees.
The famous military point of Cairo, DL,
is the rendezvous of crowds of refugees,
who come from all places along the Missis
sippi which the raider, conscripter, and gue
rilla have laid waste. The stories of perse
cution and outrage which these men bring
to loyal ears are painful in the extreme. A
cloud of witnesses confirm the severest state
ments which we have heard of the barbarity
and ferocity of the rebellion; and the in
stances and proofs are not few, but wholesale.
That the loyalists of Tennessee were tortured
and massacred in such numbers, and with so
much atrocity, was once doubted ; but we
have plenty of evidence from all parts of
the Southwest to show the cruel and merci
less spirit pervading its every portion. The
refugees of Cairo have suffered the worst
effects of rebellion, and many have been
fairly hunted out of the South, fugitives
from the bloodhounds, and dwellers in the
swamps and woods. Numbers of their
comrades have been murdered under every
circumstance of crime. Lands have been
laid waste ; crops destroyed ; cattle and
teams driven olik; granaries robbed; cotton
burned ; houses sacked and razed ; " chil
dren, interceding, have been shot, and MO
tilers, imploring mercy, have had their infants
stabbed upon their breasts) , Shockbig as it
certainly is, we must accept this terrible and
too faithful picture of a country given up to
misrule and terror. Those who have suffered
from the rebellion must have suffered deep
ly, and some almost hopelessly. We know
of no subjects more worthy of patrioti
charity than the white refugees who hav -
gathered :at Cairo from our military ports
along the Mississippi, fleeing from intole
rable misery in the South.* The greater
portion of these are women and children,
most of whom arrived completely desti
tute, those who had lived in affluence
and those habituated to poverty having
sha - ed alike the trial of hunger and
exposure. The average number of ar
rivals per month is two thousand—for the
most part houseless, moneyless, and friend
less wanderers, that must starve, without
work, or means, or charity. Here, indeed,
is a broad field for philanthropy and patriot
ism. All these refugees are loyal by virtue
of their sufferings ; hundreds have been per
secuted because of their Unionism ; and it is
especially the duty of Northern charity to
raise them to their feet. Money, clothing,
or goods may be remitted through any San-
Rau Commission to " The White Refu
gees, Cairo."
" I nnow of nothing in the history of war
to compare with the shameful treatment of
the - Union prisoners at Richmond and AA
lanta," says General NEAL Dow. This
testimony comes from a man of recog
nized integrity, but only confirms the re
port of scores of witnesses equally credible.
We can no longer doubt the volume of
crime which the rebellion has committed
against humanity, and which will pass into
future history and narrative with still more
fearful features. Our men starved, diseased,
sad killed in the prisons of the bouth, and
Col. DAHLGREN'S pitiable death, make but
a Email portion of the catalogue. We make
all allowance for a people desperate and
suffering, alike from victory and defeat, but
we must accept the entire witness of the
fearful facts against them to understand
truly the great crime of assassinating li
betty.

and proceeded up the Chuokatuok creek, and with
small boats landed at the head of the creek, taking
a guide to the headquarters of Lieutenant Roy,
where they arrived at 4 o'clock this morning. Im
mediately surrounding the houses, they raptured
two sergeants and eighteen privates, with their

capital to make the necessary arrangements to
facilitate exchanges. he should receive ample pro

The Chicago Post of Thursday contain, the fol.
/owing account of the commencement of the out•
break
The Circuit Court was in session at Charleston on
Monday. The 54th Illinois being under orders to
move from Mattoon on the flOth,CoL Mitchell and
Surgeon York were in Charleston for the purpose
of gathering it the men belonging to the regiment.
During the morning several altercations took place
between soldiers and citizens, but none resulting se
riously. In the:afternoon a squad of soldiers at
tempted to enter the court house for the purpose of
seiziegdeserteri. While pushing their way through
the crowd around the door, they pushed against a
man named Nelson Wells, who threatened in an in
sulting manner to shoot if the thing was repeated.
Some words passed, and, the soldiers still pressing
forward, Wells shot a soldier in the crowd,
but not the one who had committed the
offence. Firing soon became general, and eight
or nine of the soldiers who happened to be armed
stood their ground and continued to fire in
self-defence • while the others ,' being unarmed,
fell. back. ' The party that remained was sur
rounded by twenty or thirty men, who continued to
fire until most of the soldiers were either killed or
wounded. Wells, the first assailant, was the first
man killed. Dr. York, hearing ',the firing in the
court house, came to the door and was almost in.
'tautly mortally wounded. He discharged his pistol
at his assailant several times, however; then with
drew into the court house, and soon expired. In
the meantime, tiring was going on from the
windows of the court house. Sheriff O'llair is
believed to be the leader or the assailing party,
taking a prominent part. Colonel Mitchell, who
was unarmed, while struggling for a pistol with a
man named Winkler, was fired at several times, but
escaped with a slight wound on the hand. Winkler
was shot and mortally wounded. The 54th, under
command of Lieutenant Colonel Chapman, arrived
from Mattoon within thirty minutes after the
nolo' of a despatch from Charleston. Colonel
Brooks took command of • mounted force of
thirty men for the purpose of scouting the country
in search of the rioters, who, in the meantime, had
left under command of oHair. During the night
his party arrested and brought in twenty-two priori.
nets, at least twelve of whom can be identified as
having been concerned In the assault. It is untrue
that Mr. Eden had made a speech, or that the row
commenced while Dr. York was repaying, as was re
potted. The assailing party, alter their piestfis
were discharged, are reported to have taken grins
from their wagons, where they were concealed. fdo

sentences from which hie pardon relieved them; and
also the names of all persons likewise sentenced by
court martial for military offences other than fraud or

Pe hieh was agreed to.
The Vice President laid before the Senate a communi

to the naval service, km It

Branch Mint am Oregon
Mr NESMITH called up the bill to establish zany
offices at Carson City. Nevada. and Dallas City. Oregon.
and moved an amendment establishing a branch mint at
Portland. Oregon, Instead of an assay office at Dallas
City.
Mr. NESMITH advocated his amendment at length,
end eomplitined that the Committee on Finance had in
fringed the common law of the Senate after they bat
heard the report and resolutions of an Oregon dele
gation. who might be =noosed to know about the
Propriety of the measure, and referred the decision
to the secretary of the TreasurY. Who. having no
information himself upon the subject, referred
it td the director of the mint at rtalactelPhian
one dames Pollock, who knew lees than any other
party consulted. and who sent here a communication
suggesting that the propels coinage establisnment
looked towards national disintegration. After he had
learned that his first bill to establish a branch mint at
Portland had been committed first to the casemates of
the Trea,nry Deparis eat. and thence to the genius who
nreeldes over the present mint in the city of Bro herly
Love. he wan apprehensive that he should never again
behold the lair proportions of hie cherished offspring.
His worst fears had been realized and his bill returned
dlapidated and torn by the stupidity and ignorance of
the company it bass kept. and its mangled remains are
now before the Senate with the hope of an accommoda
tion bill for an assay office. When he should be tilled
to en account by Ms people why s branch mint was not
established. ha' wenld have to say. with shame and con
fusion, that Mr. Pollock was opposed to it It wont dbe
bard to convince his people that Mr. Pollock was a
branch of this government -
The Oregonians might have bad a branch mint at
their own door for the coinage of the precious metals,
for which they so industriously labor, and of which
they are daily. being robbed, either by speculators, or
the risk. e , zmnao . and delay in sending them thousand.
o r m il es awa y to be coined, but that the profound Pol
lock had discovered that the component parts of branch
mints were treason. secession, abrogation of constitu
tional compacts, disregard of oaths, denial of Federal
authority, arson. murder, all of which constitute the
crime known as disintegration. Mints and bransh
minis. notwithstanding Mr. Pollock. are mere work
shops or factories for the accommodation of the people.
and should be located at points convenient to the raw
material; and the men who desired to confine their ope
rations to an inconvenient point, might as well urge
that iron tonndries. brick yards. grist mills, black
smith shots. &c.. necessary to accommodate more than
20 000.000 of people. should all be located in one village.
We read in the Scriptures that Nebnchadeezzer fed on
crass. but never.became fit for beefs and, from analogy.
we may infer that Pollock. though controlling an es
tablishment which he regards as embodying all the at
tributes of national itovereignty, will hardly ever at
lain a condition qualifying him for other franc/loos.

Objection was made to the introduction of the bill.
Dlr. BLAINE!, of Maine, introduced a bill to provide
fer refunding to loyal States certain sums of money ex
pended by them in raising. organizing. and eonirming
troops for the Union army. It provides for a board of
three commissioners. to hold sessions in Washington.
and to report to Congress the ascertained same due to
the various Sinter, towns. cities, and counties. The bill
wee referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
Prevention of Collisions an Sea.
Mr, ELIOT, of licteseebusette, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported a DUI fixing the rules for prevent •
lug collirions on water by signals, log bells, dm. He
exp. - aimed that its object :was to contribute: toward a
uniform international code of rules. The importance
of such a code bad for a long time been felt by parties
interested. but up to this time none had been established
by tb's Government. A year ago Lord Lyons called
the attention of the State Department to the subject, and
enclosed a code of rules adopted by Great Britain, to
go into force in Tune last. and suggested that it be
adopted by our government. This code was submitted
to the Navy Department. and by it referred to a board,
vi bleb Rave the code a very careful examination. It

Persons interested in commerce called to it. Great Bri•
tatn and "France bad adopted the code,end if was believed
ail the marilime IPowers would do so. thus making it
international. All the responses to the Committee on
Commerce expressbut ore opinion anti that was in favor
of the code. It was as nearly protect as it could be made.
The bill was then :passed. and Mr Eliot, from the
Committee on Commerce, reported a bill reg•
elating the admeasurenaut and tonnage of ships
and vessels of the. United State". He said
the effect of this bill would be to contribute to a uniform
rule on this subject. It was a surprising fact that nri to
this time we were without a mode of legally ascertain
ing what the meaning of a ton is as appl is able to vessels.
'Pb is bill was recommended by the Navy Department
and sanctioned by the Treasury Department. It had
been submitted to persons interested, and bad found

Mr. ELIJAH WARD, of New York, from the Commit

forth, among other things. in the Pre ' , treble. that by the
tresty made by President Pierce. September 11. 1856. for
the purpose of ex.ending reciprocal trade between the
Britieh and North American colonies and the United
States nearly all the articles which Canada Ices to cell
are admitted into the United States free of duty, while
heavy duties are tow imposed noon many of those arti

the Thirty sixth Congress, caused to be submittal to

owinganada. subversive of the tens inteat of the treaty,
to enberquent legislation of Canada; but it being
de.irable tlfht friendly relations should be continued be

province El, and that commercial intercourse should be
carried on between them upon Principles reciprocally
lbcneticial and satisfactory to both parties; therefore
Resolved. That the President be authorized and re
(mired to give notice to the British Government that it
is the wish or intention of the Government of the United
States to terminate the treats , , and end it twelve months
from the expiration of ten years from the date, at
which the treaty went Into operation. Such notice
to be given at the expiration of said term of ten
years, to the end that the treaty may be abrogated as
soon as can be done under the provisions thereof,
tints es a new convention shall before that time be con•
eluded between the two Governmen.e by which. the pro
visions shall be abrogated and so modified as to be

the Presideet be. aid is hereby. authorized to appoint
three commissioners, by and with the advice and con

to confer with other comm:s•ionern duly authorized
therefor, whenever it shall appear to be the wish of the
Government of Great Britain to negotiate a new treaty
between the two Governments and the people of both
Governments, based upon the true principle. of recipro
city, nod for the removal of existing difficulties.
Mr. MORRILL. of Maine, said if Congress was to
adioutn the last of May, a. the House had indicated.
this would be utterly impossible, unless more progress
be made in buelneee. Be therefore moved that all de.
bate on the national bank bill shall terminate one
minute after the committee shall resume the considera
tion of this special order. They had yet to come before
them several appropriation bills. loci nding the Indian.
miscellaneous, tax. and bankrupt bills. If gentlemen
continue making speeches, it would be. considerable
time before the bank bill' could b a distured of.
err. Bo 00If objec'ed to the motion.
Mr. 'MORRILL then modified his motion to make the
cessation of debate .apply to the thirty-second section
only. This was agreed to
The House then went into commit:ee on the 'National
Bank bill. The thirty-second section provides that each
association shall select. subject to the approval of the
Comptroller or the (Mummy, an association in either of
the cities named in the pre ceding 'section, at which it
will redeem its circulating notes at par.
Mr. D aTIS. of New. 'York. proposed to amend by add
ing ' or an association in the city of New _York which
shall )(deem its circulating notes at a diebount not eg
ceedir g one-fourth of one per cent "
Mr. BALE suggested an amendment, to include Phila
delphia and Boston. which Mr. Davis accented.
Mr. Davis' amendment, thus amended. was then re
jected. by 47 votes as ainet 50.
Mr. LANS, of It diens, offered an amendment provi
ding that all profits over eight per cent. sha 1 be paid into
the Treasury. for the benefit of the Government pension
ers He had no faith in the bill. as the Secretary of the
grreatury was now at liberty to issue notes ad libitum
The con mitts° And out, by a vote of Illty.fonf against
thirty, the thirty-ninth section. which provided no asso
ciation shall psy out or pot in circulation the notes of
any bank or banking association not authJrized by this
act.
Mr. TRACT. of Ponneylvanist, offered an amendment
that no provision contained in the bill author zing the
nee of the Government bonds shall be so construed es to
Prohibit 11117 State from Imposing such tamer on the QM
dends of the several banking associations as shrill to the
Legislatures seem lust arm equitable He expressed the
hope that all these greet interests would not be exempt
from taxation, y hile the poor man's cow, OZ. were
taxed for local and state purposes
HooPER. or Masenenesetts, thought the gentle
man misunderstood the bill. It did not exclude the
Mateo from taxing the personal property of individuals.
but simply excluded the bonds themselves.
Mr ELDRIDGE, of Wisconsin. said the provisions of
this bill were perfectly monstrous. as they removed
from texa ion all capital invested in these banks
Mr. MORRILL, of Vermont. said the capital of these
banks Is to be entirely composed of united States bonds.
which could not be taxed by the:State Governments.
hut the circulation is to be fUlly Lazed, ae Well as the
Income.
Yr.- JAMBS C. ALLEN. of Illinois. entered his Protest
against this kind of legislation. which crested an odious
distinction by enabling capita. , ists to escape State tax
ation by investing their wealth in these banks
Mr. GRIND ELL,of lowa. replied to Mr. Eldridge, say
ins the latter was endeavoring to destroy the ourrener
of the country, and that the bill Would save the people
from a large amount of direst taxation.
Mr. WASH BUIII9II. of Massaohniette. said that the
true course was to tax all banking capital as well as the
circulation. The people could not be I atisfied in any
other way Thebanks furnishing the circulation should
net alone be taxed.
Mr STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said the gentleman
bad nf,t properly reflect. d upon the sabject. These
banks had no ch culation excepting what was bailed OR
bonds,. and wren the honda were taken, it wee under
the pl ighted faith of the Government that they should
not be taxed
Hr HO TCHKISS, of New York. offered an amend
ment subjecting the bank capital to State and municipal
taxation. Be said there would be an outcry against ex
am It. and by ouch exemption the friends of toe Ad
ministration. who Were endeavoring to give credit and
character to the currency, were committing a great mis.
take.
Mr. Hotchkiss' amendment was rejected by 43 votes
against it
After further proceedings. Mr. Tracy's amendment
was rerested by 211 votes against 60.

Correspondence between General Lew
INallace and Governor BradLtord.
BarrikOM April L—The American publishes this
afternoon an important correspondence between
Major General Wallace and Governor Bradford in
regard to the prevention of disloyal persons being
elected to the Constitutional Convention, or voting
at the election on Wednesday next. The General
oddresses the Governor, and furnishes him with offi•
elal eopies of papers, a glance at which he says will
doubtless satisfy him that persons disloyal to the
Government of the United States are candidates for
the Constitutional Convention, the election for
which takes place) on the 6th of April, and asks the
Governor whether, the Legislature, in prescribing_
an oath of loyalty to be administered to delegates
before taking their seats, did not also intend to pro
vide a method for the rejection at the polls• of the
votes of disloyal men, and that the power, amount-
ing to judicial authority, with which the judges of
the election are clothed was really the more adopted'
by the law• makers for the accomplishment of that
purpose, and he asks the Governor to give him his
views as to the extent of authority possessed by the
judges of the election, and especially as to whether
they have power to reject a vote on account of the
disloyalty of the persons offering it.
Governor Bradford replies at some length, giving
a review of the lasOs of the State, upon the subject,
in which he says you will agree with mein believing
that they are entirely sufficient, if faithfully exe
cuted, as I have every reason to-hope they will be, to
exclude disloyal voters from the polls.
The duty of our judges of election is in this re
spect clearly defined and adequately enforced. By
the convention act it is provided that any judge of
election who shall refuse or neglect to perform any
of the duties required of him by that act, shall be
liable to indictment for such offbnce, and, upon con
viction thereof, shall be deemed guilty of a mild..
meaner, and be sentenced to a floe of not less than
five hundred dollars, and to imprisonment in the
jail of the city or county where such offence may
have been committed, for a term not less than six
months.
. .
Among the documenta submitted to the Governor
is a correspondence between General Wallace and
E. G. Kilbourne, one of the candidates on the die.
loyal ticket in Anne Arundel county, who was, it
will be remembered, Speaker of the rebel House of.
Delegates in Frederick in 186 i. The result of the
questioning by the General is that Mr. Kilbourne
acknowledges his disloyalty, and declines being &
candidate.
Letter from Hon. T. H. MON.
. WASHINGTON, March 24, 1861.
To.the Editor of the Cambridge Herald:
Sin: The state of my health at this time teems
to tender it almost eartain that I cannot have the
pleasure of casting my ballot on the 6111 day of April
for a Convention. •
That being the ease, I have , to ask a short space
in the columns of your paper, to , give my Union
Mends my sentiments, and I hope that all our
Union friends may accord with me, no matter what
the coLiliet of opinion or .diversitg of views as to.
details. •
The general interests of our once happy and pros
perous country are deeply involved in the doings of
the day. All should be willing to make a sacrifice
on the altar of our Union. What are men compared
to the great interest, now before us 7 Feeling, as I
de, that the,' intermit of Maryland. and our dear
country at large, must be promoted by the destruc
tion of slavery, I am decidedly in favor of emaneipa
tion, with compensation by the Government. True
if is Mat the war cannot cease, nor the restoration
of the Union be effected, until slavery is wiped from
the land. Then let it come, and come soon, even it
it must be with or without remuneration.
I trust the loyal citizens of Dorchester will not
fail, by their votes, on the 6th day of April, to show
their attachment to the Government, and not suffer
any estrangement or division on matters of minor
importance, thereby insuring the election of men
who are the avowed enemies of our Government.
Very respectfully, Fruog. 11. molts.

Clin/OIJS Dmooveux.—lt is said that Mayor Tie
mann, at his paint factory in .Manhattanville, has
accidentally made a discovery which threatens to
revolutionize floriculture. One of the factory nands
having thrown some liquid green paint of a particu
lar kind on a tower bed occupied by white anemones,
the flowers have since made their appearance with
petals as green as grass. The paint had in it a peon.
liar and very penetrating chemical mixture, which
Mr. Tiemann has since applied with other colors, to
other plant', annual, biennial, and of 'the shrub
kind—the result being invariable that the flower', SO
watered took the hue of the liquid deposited at their
roots. By continuing experiments early next year,
during seed time, and applying different oolong, we
shall no doubt be enabled to "paint the lilly," which

Board of Trustee. held an adjourned meeting last
evening and failed to elect a chief engineer of the
works in place of Mr. John 0. Cresson, resigned.
The meeting was held in secret. From the next
best source we present the following as exhibiting the
state of affairs. The combination of Union men
and the Opposition that elected Messrs. DurborroW
and Casein, the first and second assistant engineers,
were powerful enough to control the Board had it
remained together. One of the Union men, how
ever, bolted because be desired a gentleman elected
as chief, who was not the choice of a =Dimity or the
maid combination.
Mr. Samuel B. Brick was named as chief, and
Charles Trego si financial clerk. Both are-well
known gentlemen and are supporters of the Nation
al Government. But as not a vote could be spared,.
and one of the combination refusing his support, the
gentlemen resolved themselves into their original
political elements, and now stand six to six.
The Tinton members assembled in caucus,
minated Frederick Graeff, the vote standing al fel,
lows :
Mr. Graeff 4 ;
Mr. Brick
Mr. A. Meyers
The Opposition six members agreed in einlOilliikk
nominate Mr. T. S. Stewart.
This being the arrangement, the whole bolted, as.
sembled, and at two or three meetings sines held
there was no election. It is alsa.stated• that as
soon as the thing is fixed certain relatives of one of
the opposition members, quite a large fainileaffalr,
shall be retained in the potties§ they heist under
the board, then this member is to MO for Mr.
Gruff, aed thus elect him. This is the outside re
port. The trustees will meet again at half past four
o'clock this afternoon. The way agars now stand,
the Union men will be the losers, and swarms of
Copperheads, not Democrats, will be kept ia office.

.RSPonT UPON AN LION MINK NEAR TO THE OfTT
Or ERADIWO, BRIMS OOTINTT, PENNSTLVANCA
The very valuable mineral property which I am
about to describe lies about three Miles in an outer
ly direction from Reading, the county in
of Beal;
The mines are opened where the iron-ore veins out
crop on the summit of a knoll or spur of the primi
tive mountain called "Penn's Illountsiii," on land
belong i ng to S. E. Ancona.
Men are now emigeyed cleaning 011 the surface
and eXposing the veins of iron ore, so as to prove
their thickness, regale/IV, and quality. Enough
has already been done to prove these things con
clusively. From the explorations made there, suet
cent evidence is produced to warrant me in sub
mitting the following facts ikt regard to the mineral
value of this property :
It certainly contains three, and probably four, dis
tinct veins of iron ore. They run through this spur
of the mountain in slows proximity to each other,
and contain a large amount of ore above waterlevel.
The veins extend through this hill a iourth of a mile
or more in distance, and lie about three hundred
feet above the level of the valley below. The west
ern end of the spur is quite precipitous, and here.
would be the best place to mine the ore, as high.
working breasts would be freed from water by enter
ing the veins at this point. The ore is of the variety
known as red oxide, and is highly magnetic. It is
interstratilied with rooks of the feldspatio class, and
the !veins vary in thickness from two to five feet.
The most southern vein, proved by shaft, ranges
from two and a half to four feel thick. The ore is
porous or soft. It is very rich in quality, averaging
from sixty to sixty-five per cent. metallic iron. The
second vein Is about five feet north of the one cle.
scribed. It has been sunk down upon a depth of
several 'feet, and an open cut made along its out.
crop. The formation has great regularity. The dip
is about sixty degrees towards the south, with an
apparent inclination to become more vertical in the
deep. It also increases in thickness in a downward
direction. It is now nearly five feet wide. The
average yield of thbrvein is from thirty.fiva to forty
per oent. metallic iron. It is a richer ore (though
of the same class) than that now being used in mix
ture with Hematite at the Reading Iron Company's
large blast fUrnaoes, which is transporkid a distance
of twenty-live miles over the East Pennsylvania
Railroad. The third vein is shafted upon, and the
ore produced from it is similar .in character and
quality to 10. 2. No. 4 , bas not been proved, but the
surface indications are such as to lead to the belief of
its existence in that spur of the mountain.
There is upwards of two hundred tons of this iron
ore already mined, worth rive dollars per ton. This
kind of iron, from Its peculiar quality, is much
sought after. - The metal produced from it in mix
ture with hematite, has proved the best ordnance
metal known in the world. I had the pleasure of,
meeting Captain Tucker, Government Inspector of
Ordnance, at Reading He informed me that three
guns were made of the same pattern and size—eleven
inch—of east iron; one at Providence; one at Pitts.
burg, and one at Beading. .The one made at Provi
dence burst all to piecei at the sixtieth discharge.
The Pittsburg one burst atthe one hundred and for
tieth discharge. The Reading gun has been fired,
with extra charges of powder, live hundred times,
and the probabilities are, from its present appear
ance, that it could be discharged five times rive hun
dred times without injury. This gun is cast from
metal produced from an Iron ore of the sine dais,
and from the same range, similar in all respects to
the iron ore in the spur of the mountain on which I
am reporting.
• The Reading Iron Company, who cast this gun,
gets this kind of red oxide from near to Alburtes,
Station, on the East Pennsylvania Railroad. I a
the spring of last year, rmade a geological exami
nation of the stratification, and of the ore veins of
that place. They axe enclosed in a granitoid gneiss,
and ate similar in all respecta to those opened on
the spur above-named. They there, as here, range
in aN. N. E. and S. S. W. direction, and dip to
wards the S. E. Mining was carried on near Al
hurt& Station before the Revolution. The Lehigh
Crane Iron Company have lately purchaled an iron
ore property there, and paid, I believe, one hundred
thousand dollarsfor it. On account of the gam with
which the ore in the spur of the mountain on which
I am reporting can be mined, owing to its being
above water level, and in measure free to work, it
must yield veryS large profits. It will not cost, to
mine, more than eighty cents, and the diataneefrOm
the mine to the iron works at Reading, is three
and a half Wiwi, over a good road, and down hill.
The team . s will make two round trips per day, with
ease. This property is very advantageously situ-
ated for deep drainage. Drifting into the veins from
the foot of tte hill will free the mines from water,
and otherwise prove economical in delivering the
ore at the surface. In this way a large quantity of
mineral will be opened and drained, and the expense
of erecting pumping and winding machinery obviated,
at least for several years to come. In line of the
range of these ore veins, to the westward, it is all flat
land, where the mineral will be deep below water
level : io that this spur is the nearest, the best, and
the cheapest point for mining, and the ore, from its
well-known usefulness, will always command a
ready serest the highest market price. The strati.
oration accompanying these ore Veins through the
spur of the mountain, is exceedingly regular and
free from. any disturbing causes, by protriutions)
from below, of rocks of igneous birth or otherwise.
Reading is increasing rapidly in population. It is
now about 26,000. There are three blast furnaces in
Operation a large rolling n l ., machine ehops and
an extensive foundry, casting ordnance, and has not
capacity to supply the demand. The Reading Rail
road Company is going to build one of the largest
shops in this country, immediately above the city.
Other furnaces, rolling mills, and sheet-iron
foun
dries are about to be ereoted there, and it bids fair to
become soon a city of extensive menufactures in
iron. Respectfully submitted,

The felleteleg Appendix to my former report of
last month, on the primitive irmhore formation en.
elosed,in the mountain ranges of gnielrold rooks ex.
tending from Reading, in Berko county, on the river
Schuylkill, in an eastward direction towards the
Lehigh, is respectfully submitted by
WILLIA2et P. Ronnnie.
EEEZZEM
The object of the report above referred to was to
call attention to some valuable iron • ore veins lately
opened, about three miles east from the city of Read
ing,in this goiessoid formation.
The property to which my attention was at that
time directed covered the western part of an isolated
hill, or knoll of land, lying in the valley, between
the two outside ranges of the mountain, forming the
northern and southern boundaries of the primitive
formation of rocks extending across the country,
and crossing the Schuylkill at Beading. In the up
per and western part of this knoll of elevated land,
three regular veins or iron ore are shown—two fully,
the other partially developed—by open outs on their
outcrops. One of these vein, yields the same qua•
lity and ore of theselesame character as that from
which the metal is produced from which has been
cast, in the foundry at Reeding, cannon superior to
any thing in the shape of ordnance yet known. The
cannon made at Reading from this peculiar kind of
ore, which is neutral in its quality, and perfectly
free from sulphur, has stood the severest tests which
could be applied without Wary.
Since I submitted my former report on the iron.
ore formation of this isolated knoll of ground, I
have mane a second visit to the premises in con.
sequence, and at the request of the parties who are
exploring there, having secured another lease upon
the adjoining tract of land, which takes in the east.
ern and remaining part of this iron hill. On the
top of the knoll, some four hundred feet elevation
above the adjacent valley, a shallow trench le cut
come seventy feet across it, and the feldspathic
rook all along this distance is full of etronglyerharged
megnetio iron ore. The trench has not yet been out
deep enough to show the strata in their true ore.
It is merely loose pieces of rooks, highly charged
with Iron ore, in which may be found in place large
lumps of pure iron ore. I traced the outcropping of
iron ore all the way along the bill, front this trench
work to the open outs on the veins spoken of in my
former report, and there is no doubt in my mind
that there is an immense amount of iron ore in this
ground. It may be with propriety called an iron
hill. Thousands of thousands of tons of iron ore lie
in this isolated knoll of land, above Water4evel.
Respectfully submitted,.

Dean Sur : Being yesterday in the city of Read
Jug, I availed Myself of the opportunity to visit the
mine of the Alsace Iron Ckmipany.
The mine ie situated about. hree and a half miles
east of Reading, in a spur of the Penn Mountain ;
a branch of the Rouche'ir creek ilows at its base.
The opening' I examined Were four in number,
which I will designate as Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Nos.
and 2 are near the summit albs hill, which is very
precipitous, rising to an altitude above the bed of
the creek, of from three hundred and. fifty to four
hundred feet. - •
Opening No. S is a drift, made upon a vein about
Man' feet below openings Nom. r and 2 No. 4to at
the Ride of the public road, about one hundred feet
below No. S.
From the openings. Nos. a l and 2. considerable
amount - of ore has been taken, that portion taken
from near the Surface being, colt" and disintegrated,
from the action of the suface water. At the depth
of twentrilve feet the ore becomes hard, and Phase
no doubt these veins unite at a lower level, with the
vein found in opening No. a
Opening No. sis a drift upon a vein.. The drift la
I judge, about fifty feet in extent. This vein 10
about five feet in width, with well defined wall',
dipping to the south at about (*.degrees.
The ore in this.opening is regular in its character,
highly magnetic, an that U. Nom. L and 2, and is to
all appearance a most desirable ore for faunae pur•
poses, producing iron of great ductility, tenacity,
and being interspersed in rooks of the feldspar claw,
will be found to wonk easily.
opening No. t has not been pushed sufficiently far :
to rem& the undisturbed rook. -
No exploration has been made near to the creek..
I think it highly advisable that an effort should ba
rnacle at once to find the vein at that level, so that
the mine can be properly developed.
From the appearance or the Specimens of theura I
selected, I judge they contain about 50 per cent, of
magnetic oxide, although some hurried teats that
bane been made would lead to the ballet %the higher
percentage might be maligned. An accurathruudYlde
should at once be made.
All the ere that can be mined will fad., ready sale,
say at Imre $360 to $6 per ton of 2,240.p0und5. The
coat of mining and delivering in Reading, should not
ixeced $2 per ton, but the °peal:citation of about,
thtee miles of railroad , to conneetwith the Phila.
MPhil' and Railrocci, below Reading,,
wculd greatly teduee thia expense. Should present
appearances not prove illusave, the cast of sneih
road would be saved in six zeonihi. &wanting
that the vein extends %rough the whole property
'rpm the creek. its western, to it. eastern boundary,
a distance, I think, of about two.thoutand feet, if a
utiform thieknosa of four feet, and of en average
height of two hundred and fifty feet, L estimate
that there to In Mb bill above water level, gell ttat

can be mined, Without &doilies expiate° for Migbdri,

about 200,000, which, at $0 00 per ton, would yield a

The expense of opening the mine will be very
email. It la very probable that it will pay na way
from ChM hour.
I was informed that theme could he cold at the
mine, but I would not advise that to be done.
A consumer of ore, to whom a specimen Was
shown today, expressed himself much pleased with
n, and desired to be furnished with twenty tons for
trial, expressing his willinguessof on um it se.
Steered his purposes, to contract to - take one thou.

I have thus hastily expressed the impressiOns and
views formed from my hurried visit. t hope that the
prosecution of your enterprise may prove that I
have endereitlmated the value of your property.

Popular New Millinery Establishment.
In passing along Arch iitljnet, on Thursday, the
day of Menem P. A. Harding & Co.'s first spring
opening for the trade, our attention was arrestertat
their large establishment, No. 413, by the no'les■
bold than unique display in their window, which
we correctly inferred to be an index to their stock
Jeside. Curiosity led us in, where we found a die.
play of Bonnets, in packages, and French and Arne.
rican Flowers, in trays, that we do not believe is
surpassed in this country. We were politely shown
through the stock by a member of the firm, and
were really surprised, notwithstanding all our taste
and ingenuity, to find such an endless variety of
handsome novelties as we there sate. No less than
two hundred different styles of French and Ameri
can Flowers were shown to us on the first floor
alone, and over two hundred different varieties.
styles, and designer of Bonnets. If this fast does
not demonstrate the affection of the fair sex for
variety we shall not. attempt to find better proof.
The exhibition of trimmings, , including a splendid
assortment of the popular Shell and Straw Oms
ments made by Messrs P. A.Harding & Co., is also
Of the most extensive, and in all respects creditable,
charaater.
. .
Ascending to the second floor of their establish
ment, we bad pointed out to us no less than three
hundred different stiles of Ladies', Misses', and
Infants , Rats, in a variety of shapes, design., and
colors, that can only be described as endless.
In their pecking Department bustling activity
and ptofound methcd seemed to be striving for the
mastery. Suffice it to say thatlthe life and commo
tion there evinced furnish the beet evidence that
buyer. are properly appreciating the advantages of
patronizing a house of this extent and character;
for it must be borne in mind that, •although this
house is of comparatively recent origin, it possenses
facilities for business, and is enabled to offer induce
meets to pavers, second to no other in the United
States. We are the more disposed to render this
tribute to a young and flourishing house because it
is on the increase and encouragement of such that'
our best mercantile interests can alone be fostered
and developed. The large experience in this depart
ment:of trade which the membersof this firm have had
is of great service to them in theizpresent enterprise,
and, with their facilities for transacting Maine!' on
the most favorable terms to purchasers, secures
them the very cream of the trade that comes to Phi
ladelphia. We may state, in conclusion, that their
stock is aa large as it is varied. The third story is
devoted exclusively to the storage of packages con
taining duplicates of the goods they have open for ex
hibition. A great many of their choicest styles are
made to their own order, and are hence confined
wholly to their house. The greatest demand expo.
deuced by them at the "opening," on Thursday, ap.
eared to be for varieties designated as "Nob
by," "Grass," Cactuo, and line English split straws.
Putchasers would certainly find it t 4 their advan
tage to examine this large and admirably assorted
stock before making their purchases.
A WORD TO LADIES INTERESTED IN THE GREAT
OWNTRAL FAIR.—Now that very many of the
patriotic ladies of our city are interesting themselves
in getting up a remunerative interest in the great
Central Dar, soon to take place in this city for the
benefit of the Sanitary Commission, or rather the
brave soldiers for whole benefit this praiseworthy
organization is laboring, we deem it proper to state
that we have an establishment that has special
claims to their patronage. We allude to the
popular house of Mr. John M. Finn, south
east corner of Seventh and Arch streets,
whose advertisement will be found in another
column of our paper today. Mr. Finn, as will
be seen from his card, offers a splendid variety of
articles suitable for the fair at reduced prices.
In his stock will be found a magnificent assortment
of zephyrs, Shetland Wool, gilt Welds, embroider
ing silk, canvas zephyr patterns, crochet cottons,
the popular Germantoum Wool, woolen and Cashmere
yarn, gimps of every description, lace% hosiery,
dress trimmings, a superb assortment of Sun Um
brellas, travelling bag., perfumery, balmorals, black
alpacas, and a hundred other things of taste and
utility, all of which he is selling at low rates, for
the purpose above indicated.
In Sun Umbrellas, we may add, Mr. Finn offers a
splendid assortment, embracing all the latest styles,
at moderate prices. His stole at Seventh and Arch
is one of the most popular resorts for ladies who
have shopping to do in Philadelphia ; and we would
again remind ladies interested in. the Central Fair
of this fact.
