The Massacre at Fort Pillow.
A few more such victories as that of
Fort Pillow, and the rebellion is ruined.
It is too weak to endure the infamy of such
a triumph, nor is there any civilized people
- which will not turn with aversion from a
despotism which in the frenzy of failure
turns - war into butchery, and permits its sol
diers to murder their prisoners. European
popular sympathies are now denied the
South, because it attempts to establish
slavery as a national power • they will
be more thoroughly 'with the Government
because of the barbarity of its foes. This
must be the effect abroad. At home
we have no need to anticipate the wrath
which the massacre at Fort Pillow will ex
cite ; its sickening details would almost
arouse a spirit of retaliation.—almost, we
say, because it seems that no outrage is sum
.cient to subdue the magnanimity of the North
ern people. Should a Union general avenge
- this murder in kind, the North .would bow
its head in shame, Our own disloyal jour
nals have accused our soldiers of cruelty,
but never have they disgraced the uniform
they wear, the cause they maintain, by such
an atrocity as that of Fort Pillow. Ours, too,
is the glory of that great charity which has
made war seem almost beantitul. The United
States Sanitary Commission is the evidence
of national humanity, and upon every bat
tle-field its agents have ministered alike to
the sufferings of friends or foes. We can
proudly claim that to us an enemy ceases to
be an enemy when . * is a wounded or a
dying man.
It is not so, it has too often Imenother else,
with the rebels. Few of the garrison of
Fort Pillow were killed in the fight ; but
after the surrender, we are told, whites and
blacks, wounded men, children, women,
were massacred, till, of five hundred, but
two hundred survived. The sight of a
black man in uniform seems to madden the
rebels, and it is not strange that the colored
troops in the fort, unoffieered and captured,
made little resistance to the ferocity of FOR
REST's men. We wonder sometimes that a
colored man can become a United states
soldier. Truly 'for them the hardships of
- war are doubled. They receive less pay
than the white soldier ; they have not his
hope of promotion ; if captured they are
mot exchanged, and they go into every
battle with the knowledge that death
is less dreadful than captivity. Their
dangers are greater than the dangers of
white troops ; their rewards are less; but
their glory is the more. Yet, in spite of all
that would seem to discourage it, their pa
triotism triumphs. Every colored regiment
which has left Philadelphia has, to our per
sonal knowledge, understood these things
- which we hare:stated. The men know the
spirit of the'enemy; they have not forgotten
the diStrUst of the North; yet they have
never shrunk back. They burn to be up
and at a foe which tramples on their
race, and denies their manhood. The re
bellion is doubly their foe, for it would not
only destroy this Government, which pro
tects whites and blacks alike, but would
reduce them specially to the level of beasts
of burden. It is not strange, after all, that
the colored men should fight the battlect of
freedom; for this war is the first opportu
nity the colored race in America hae ever
found to vi - edicate its capacity. We cannot
too greatly 110/30r a blank regiment :shen
we think how it is bound to field hltred in
the South and prejudice in the North, and
how determined it is to conquer both the=e
enemies. The prejudice of the North
is more than half conquered now, and
the horrible massacre at Fort Pillow should
finish the victory. We cannot endure such
outrages. These black men, who, living and
dead, were piled in heaps, and burned, had
fought for our fiag, they were our own
soldiers, and the South must be taught to
know it. The barbarity of the foe intensi
fies the indignation of the people, and the
fiendish cruelty of the rebels will not keep
one brave black man from enlisting, or one
true - white man from fighting by his side.
The rebels have won a victory ; they are
welcome to its fruits. The gallant defence
made by that little garrison against six thou
sand rebels, is one of the heroic actions of
the war. Major Boom, fortunately killed
before the surrender, fought to the last, and
the fort was taken at last by the abuse of a
nag of truce. It Was fitting that a victory
won by treachery should be ended by devil
ish butchery.
The Throne of Mexico.
There is, or has been, what is called " a
hitch" in the Mexican movements, of which
MAx.rafflif.AlC, of Austria, is the centre. He
was to have formally accepted the crown of
Mexico, on the 27th of March, but post
poned it, the report is, until he could m Lke,
a Satisfactory arrangement, as to succession
and property, with his elder brother, the
Emperor of Austria. It is now said that
the difficulty is ended ; bud Itaxt3tlLLAN .
cannot leave Europe for Mexico Without
money, and the promised loan, (out of
which France was to have a large'slice, to
pay the expenses of invasion and occu
pation,) has been retarded by the doubtful
position of affairs.
The Emperor-of Austria, who has two
-children, a boy and a girl (the former not
quite six years old), hss three brothers—
MAxilinuAN, CHARLES, and Louis—the
two first of whom are married, but child
less. should the Emperor die, his son will
succeed, and, in the event of that child's
death; the Archduke MAXIMILIAN would
stand heir-presumptive to the crown of Aus
tria. The Emperor Bays, "If you become
Emperor of Mexico, you must first abandon
all claim to succeed to the crown of Austria,
and must i elinquish all right to possess pro
.perty in Austria." It would appear that
MAxnamAN did notlike to consent to tins—
for there is great risk in his attempting to
establish au Empire in Mexico—but, as the
-difficulty is said to be ended, perhaps he has
submitted to his elder brother's dictum.
blex_rnimAN will be thirty-two years old
in July. Ills chances of life, according to
the tables, give him nearly fifty years more ;
but he may die at any time, for Death is no
respecter of rank. As he is childless, after
- nearly seven years of married life, he may
leave no direct heir of his own blood. If
so, there may arise, in Alexi 20, a civil war
for the succession.
Admiral Dupont.
It is too late now to deny that Admiral D
PONT is a good officer. If his failure to
take Fort Sumpter be argued in proorthat he
is a bad one, DAHLGREN and GrLsrons: are
no better. Yet, with singular insensibility
to this fact, and unpardonable forget
fulness of Admiral DITPDXT 7 B past ser
vices, his part in the attack on Charleston
is made the subject of very severe criticism
in a telegram from Washington published
in, most papers of this week. When charges
of disobedience of orders are made against
a distinguished defender of his country
they should be made by authority, and not
anonymously. If Admiral DUPONT had
been an unknown, untried officer, simple
justice Would have demanded that he should
have bad a fair hearing, before the public
was asked to give its condemnation. But,
as he is an officer whose name is in
separably connected with one of the
most brilliant of our naval victories, and
who has failed only where all others have
failed, the attempt to injure hie well-earned
reputation by irresponsible assertions is the
- more reprehensible. We Ave noticed du
ring the past few months that more than
nne carefully worded and untrue paragraph,
referring to A.dmiral DUPONT, has been
given newspaper circulation, but have hard
ly thought tuck statements worth denid.
Bid now it is perhaps proper to ask if this
gallant officer should not demand of the
Government that full and final vindication
which we believe he has already received
frcm the people.
Queen Victoria.
The Official announcement that Queen
VICTORIA would hold a levee and a draw
ing-room, at Buckingham Palace, on the 6th
and the 13th of this month, must silence the
rumors (which never had existence in Eng
land, but were inventions of sensational
London letter-writers of New York papers),
that her Majesty was out of her mind. It
is true that her grandfather, GEORGE,
had repeated attacks of insanity, and was
wholly out of his mind during the closing
years of his life, but Queen VICTORIA has
shown so much common sense and calm
judgment during the twenty-seven years
that have passed since, a young girl of
eighteen, she ascended the throne, that one
is led to wonder how the rumor in question
ever could have been invented. It is of in
finite importance to our Union that Queen
VICTORIA would be able to correct, if cus
tom does not allow her to direct, British
policy towards this country. Her late hus
band :bad the friendliest feelings towards
us, and her affection will continue to make
her cling by the policy which he approved.
The Late George W. Pearce.
The unexpected death of George W. Pearce, editor
of the West Chester (Pa.) Republican and Democrat,
in the city of Washington, on Thursday last, will be
sad and startling news in the community where he
was so fondly loved and so universally honored. At
the time of his decease, and for nearly two years be•
fore, he was at the head of the stationery room, in
the office of the Secretary of the. Senate of thettnited
States, to which place he was appointed, as well ue•
cause of his high personal character as because he
was among the very first of that noble band of Demo.

men believed him, and when be wrote Me words

of the President and Vice President of the United

Men have seen that our institutions are in jeopardy
from the cetaker of human slavery distributing /tit
virus through our political System; and that, for.
getting anu conquering old prejudices, they are de.
termeined to destroy the source of all our troubles.
'lbis is the story in a nutshell, and explains why an
ovation is given to George Thompson in the Ameri
can hall of popular legislation.
I have read the speech cf Mr. Thompson with
some care, ano when he said, " An attempt to untie
the Effete institution of slavery—the eseence of which
is despotism—vvithtre free institutions of the North,
was an attempt to midge over the gulf of cen
twies—to reconcile things in their very nature in
compatible—an attempt to secure a solid anti peroe•
tuailUr ion;on principles at war with the organic law
which regulates the existence of human society," he
uttered truths which are incontrovertiole. We have
tried to ignore them and to prove to ourselves that slavery
and freedom could txist together, but after three quarters
of a century of compromising with wrong and outrage,
and a determination to continue to walk on through the
moral gloom. the Almighty God, seated on his throne of
sternal justice, launches forth the thunders of his wrath
in the present war, and like Paul, when stricken ;o the
tenth in he midst of his persecutions, We rite and ask,
"What shall tee dolt:
I have been no particula.r admirer in the past of
George Thompson. As n member of the Democratic
party when it was the partrof progress in this
country, I always haled he cared more for English
inetitulions than he did for republican liberty. His
coulee since the breaking out of the rebellion M
ance, me to think we may have done him injustice.
Certainly he has been our friend when all England

his business and pleasure to stand up for the North
under all circumstances, and to advocate our cause

He is thoroughly patriotic, and, in this magnificent
oration, he sets forth the glory and power of our
country, after its niacipline and development in the
ordeal of its unparalleled war: Dr. Holland says of
it It is an address that cannot be duplicated in
America. His range of Illustration seems unlimited,
and his memory of. all that hi■ mind tonal:ice is
marvel. His periods are as graceful and flaiehed as
Everett's, and his choice of words the happiest."
Dr. Storrs will meet with an appreciativie audience
In this city, where he has long been a favorite, al
though it is but rarer' that he is heard here. Cron.

The Accounts Confirmed.
ATTACK ON PADUCAH RELINQUISHED.
THE PdASSAORVAT FORT PILLOW.
C April 14 —On Tuesday morning For
rest, I :17h some 6,000 men, attacked Fort Pillow.
Soon alter the attack, Forrest sent a flag of With
demanding the surrender of the fort and garrison, in
the meanwhile disposing his force so as to gain an
advantage.
Major Booth, of the 3d Tennessee United States
Heavy Artillery, formerly the lst Alabama Cavalry
(colored), refused to receive the flag.of truce, and
fighting was resumed.
Afterwards a second flag came in, which was also
refused. Both flags gave the rebels the advantage
Of gaining new positions.
The battle was kept up till 3 o'clock P. NI., ashen
Major Booth was killed and Major Bradford took
command. The rebels had come in swarms over
our troops, compel/log them to surrender.
Immediately upon the surrender, there ensued a
scene which utterly baffles description. Up to that
time comparatively few of our men were killed, but,
insatiate as fiends and blood-thirsty as devil' incar
nate, the Confederates commenced an indiecriminate
butchery of the whites and blacks, including those
of both colors who had been previously wounded.
The dead and wounded teepees were piled is heaps
and burned, and several citizens, who joined our
forces for protection, were killed or wounded.
The black soldier, becoming demoralized, rushed
to the rear, their white officers havi og thrown down
their alms. Both white and black were bayonetted,
shot or sabred, and even dead bodies were horribly
mutilated. Children of seven or eight Tears of age,
and several negro women, were killed in cold blood.
Soldiers unable to speak, from their wounds, were
shot dead, and their bodies rolled down the banks
into the river.
Out of a garrison '.of 600 men, only 200 remained
alive.
Among our dead officers are Captain Bradford,
Limits. Barr, Aukerstrom, Wilson, Revel, and allaj.
Booth, all of the tetb TOAD/MOD Cavalry ; Captain
Poston, Lieut. Lyon, of the lath Tennessee, and
Capt. Young, of the 24th Missouri, stating provost
marshal, were taken prisoners.
Major Bradford was also taken, but is said to have
eaceped. It Is feared, however, that he has been
killed.
The steamer Platte Valley came up about 332
o'clock. She was hailed by the rebels under a flag
Of truce, and her men sent ashore to bury the dead,
and take aboard such of the wounded as the rebels
bad allowed to live. Pitly.seven were taker, aboard,
Including seven or eight oolored men. Bight of
them died on the Way up. The steamer arrived
here this evening, and was immediately sent to the
Mound City hospital to diacharge her suffering pas
sengers. Among the wounded of the colored troops
are Captain Porter, Lieutenant Libberte, and itdju
tent Lernmlog,
Six guns were captured by the rebels and carried
off; including two 10-pound Parrotts and two 12!
pound howitzers. A large amount of stores were
destrovtd and carried away. The intention of the
rebels seemed to be to evacuate the place, and move
on towards Memphis.

CONFIRMATORY ACCOUNT OF THE M.A.S;
SACHE—THE SITUATION AT PAI3UO.III.
Csano, April re —No boats have been allowed to
leave here for points below Columbus since the first
news or the Fort Pillow affair was received.
The attack on Paducah yesterday proved to be a
mere raid for plunder made by a couple hundred of
men who were shelled out by the forts and gun
boats, After occupying a portion of the city is
squads for about an hour, they left, taking away a
number of horses and considerable plunder, and leav
ing behind half a dozen killea and wounded. No
one was hurt - on our side.
Several of the guns captured by Forrest attToTt
Pillow were splked before falling into his hands
the others were turned upon theGunbost No. 7,
which, from exharUltioll or ammunition, havibg
fired come three hundred rounds, was compelled to
withdraw. Although only timciad, she received but
slight irjury.
Gen. Lee larrived and assumed command at the
begjAping of the battle, previous to which Chalmers
directed the movements.
Forrest, with the main force, retired after the fight
to Brownsville, taking with him the funds he had
captured.
While the ideal:l2er Platte Valley lay under a flag
of truce, taking on the wounded, the rebel officers,
among them Chalmers, went aboard, and soma of
our officere showed them great deference, drinking
with them and showing other marks of courtesy.
Prominent among them is said to be a certain officer
of an Illinois cavalry regiment.
ST. Louis, April id —A correspondent of the
Tinian., of this city, who was aboard the steamer
Platte Valley, at Fort Pillow, gives an even more
appalling description of the fiendishness of therebels
than our Cairo doamteh.
Many of our wounded, he says, were shot in the
hospital, and the remainder were driven out of the
building, which was burned.
after the battle the rebels went over the Held and
shot the novas' who had not died from their pre
vious wounds.
Many of those who deserved to be treated as
prisoners of war, as the rebels said, wed ordered to
tail Into line, when they were inhumanly shot
down.
Of the 350 colored troop' not more thin 55 es
caped the manure, and not one omeer that com
manded them &wave..
Only four officers of the 13th Tennessee escaped
ealth. The loss of the 18th Tennessee was SOO
killed, and the remainder wounded or captured.
General Chalmers told the correspondent of the
Times that although it was against the policy of his
"Government" to spare the negro soldiers and their
officers, be had done all in his power to stop the
carnage. At the same time he said he believed it
was right.
nother officer said our white troops would have
bcen protected had they not been found on duty
with the negroes.
While the rebels endeavored to conceal their ion,
it was evident that they suffered severely.
Col. Reed Amey, of the Tennessee regiment, was
_mortally mounded.
Two or three well•flled hospithls were a short
distance in the country.
Callao, April 15.—Two negro soldiers, who were
wounded at Fort Pillow, and buried by the rebels
afterwards, worked themselves out of their graves,
and are among those brought up on the 'teenier
Platte Valley. They are now in the hospital at
Mound City.
The cfficers of the Platte Valley deserve great
credit from the military authorities for landing at
Fort Pillow at imminent rink and taking our
wounded aboard.

CHESTNUT. STREET TIIIIATEM—The public have
brit one more opportunity at seeing the beautiful
drama of " The Octoroon," which has had such a
long and successful run at Mr. Grover's Theatre.
Those who desire to see a representation of life at
the South, set forth in a very touching manner,
should not fail to attend the performance this
evening. The drama is founded upon one of
those incidents which render the history of hu•
man slavery so heartrending. None can witness
the terrible trials through which the unfortunate
Zoe panes without rejoicing that our country is
being rapidly purged of the curse which rendered
such things possible. Miss Sophy G-Inaber performs
the part of Zoe, the Octoroon, in a feeling manner,
showing true appreciation of the character she ten.
dere. Miss Annie Ward, as the lively and capti
vating. Dora Sunnyside, is admirable. She looks and
acts her part charmingly. Mr. Lennox makes a
capital Yankee Otsrseer, his acting being cool and na
tut al, and extremely effective from the very absence
of all strain after effect. The other characters in
the piece are well cast, and the scenery gives true
representations of the Southern landscape.

The 61 Winona PY Mining Company of
Michigan.
A Copper Mining Company has lately been orga4
rased in this city under the above name, with a
teething capital of -$20,000. The subscription price
for the stook is $a per share, $1 per share of which
Is placed in the treasury, making the working capi
tal above named. Trom an examination elite maps
and Prospectus, which has some of the best name'
now engaged in Copper Micing on Lake Superior,
and from Information obtained of mining men as•
unatnted with that part of the District, ate gained
the following facts concerning the lands of this Oom•
pang
They are Well located on the Mineral Range, about
tbree•and•sehalf miles northeast from the Penn
Miner, and two and•a half miles southwest from the
Everett Miner, lying between these mines, on . the
Mineral Range, and are about nine.and•a-half miles
from Franklin Landing, on take Superior. These
lands are well watered and timbered for mining pun.
poser. Explorations made on this tract show that it
has five thousand feet of the formation known as
the Adventure or Evergreen Bluff Formation, upon
which are located the Aztec, Bohemian, Great
Western, Indiana, Coulter, Penn, and Everett
Mines, being the same formation upon which the
new opening. on the Penn are now being made, the
developments of which have directed so mush at.
tention of capitalists towards the Penn stock. Some
idea of the value of this Penn lode, which• crosses
the lands of the " Winona," as demonstrated by
exploration, may be formed by making inquiries at
the Penn office, No. 319 Walnut street, Philadel
phia, The vein Which has been opened, and which
crosses the "Winona," is from five to six feet in
width, giving good indications Of produetiveness.
At the Everett Mine, on the east, they have lately
struck a fine course of copper in this formation,
yielding heavy barrel and stamp work.
In the Mining Gazette of the 2(1 instant, the editor
of that paper, in speaking of the Great Minnesota
Mine and its prospects, makes use of the following
language in reference to "The Evergreen Bluff For.
mation
"Less than a mile to the southward of the pre
sent operation", the Minnesota treat is crossed by
the Evergreen Bluff formation, which is just now
held in such high estimation by the mining men,
not only of the Ontonagon District, but of the whole
country, and in which the comparatively small
operations of the last thrce or four years have
proven so eminently successful. If we were com
pelled to hazard a prediction, we Should risk the
assertion that the regular belts would be found the
most reliable of the myriad metalliferous courser,
Permeating the 'Great Trap Ratite,' ,1
The 'Working capital of the t‘ Winonati is an Mfr.
est that mining operations are to be commenced at
an early day, and if, as everywhere else in this
formation, an expenditure of money Ye sure to pro
duce a satisfactory yield of copper, the stock of this
company will most certainly be in demand.
The new lode opened at the Penn has canoed an
advance in that stook of from $1 to $l2, within the
past seven months, with a very small expenditure
of money.
There are ' , some good names on its subscription
list, and, from the testimony in regard to the value
of the property, they must certainly be considered
fortunate who are booked for the stock at subscrip
tion prices.
The office of the company is at No. 127 South
Fourth street.
ClLAildii OP THE SIGWIRO BLICEOCHIL—The most
eminent medical authorities in the land have de•
dared that the habitual use of a Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine init .- family would accomplish more
for its health and happiness than the most potent
medicines have the power to bestow.. The Wheeler
& Wilson machine has been singled out for this high
encomium, doubtless, from the well known fact that
sewing upon it is performed with less draft upon the
strength of the operator than on any other sowing
machine ever invented. Besides this, it makes the
best work, Is more durable, and performs a greater
variety of work well, than all its rivals combined.
We wish It was, in our power to introduce one of
these invaluable labor, life, and moneysaving in
struments in every household in the land.
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine is the
best, the simplest, and the cheapest.
More of the Wheeler & Wilson are sold than all
other Sewing Machines combined.
All good dressmakers, seamstresSes, and shirt
makers use the Wheeler & Wilson in preference to
all other Sewing Machines.

they you wish to purchase or not. Instruction given

CARPENTER'S SOMER.—Mx. D. L. Carpenter's
nineteenth :tinned full dress soiree, at the Academy
of Mode, on Thursday evening, April 14, 1864, was
in all respects a brilliant affair, and did the graoeful
Professor great credit. The catering for the comp
slon was entrusted to the able hands of J. W. Price,
proprietor of the Dining Saloons, Fourth and Chest
nut streets. The bill of fare provided was unesoep.
tionable, the best proof of which was bad in the
fact that the eatables and drinkablei vanished away
like snow in April, and all without a word of coin.
plaint. The various hot and cold dishes were
served in superb Style, and the wines were such as
required "no bush." Mr. Price has become famous
for catering for first class entertainments, and the
number of gentlemen who now daily throng his
lastefully•arranged saloons show that he is no legs
popular as a caterer for gentlemen who enjoy a
gocd dinner, and are obliged.to dine down town.
GROVER. & BARER'S GREAT "REANIIPAOTII.
unto" SEWIEG IYleorrran.—TJrLder the furore and
pressure of the oelebratediyomily Sewing machine,
made by the Grover & Baker Company, and sold at
their warexooms in this city, No. 730 Chestnut
street, we had almost lost sight of their great ma!
chine for Manufacturing purposes, known as their
"SHUTTLE, NO, 9," This admirable labor saver is
now in successful operation in probably more first.
class manufacturing establishments than any other
sewing machine in use, for the reasons, first, that it
is equally well adapted for either the lightest or
heaviest sewing; and, secondly, because the price
of it is remorkdely . kw. As a speedy, beautiful, and
perfect sewer in every respect, this machine deserves,
and, we are glad to say is receiving, the largest at.
tention of our manufacturers.
CONFECTIONS FOR THIS Pdri.mou.—This phrase,
"for the million? is not unfrequently associated
with an implied inferiority ; not so, however, in its
application to the delicious confections manufactured
and sold by Messrs. E. G. Whitman & Co., No. 318
Chestnut street. Ey being the most extensive ma.
kers of and dealers in these goods, and doing the
largest confectionery trade in Philadelphia, these
gentlemen are enabled (notwithstanding they use
the very finest and purest materials, and produce
only the choicest preparations) to sell at prices
which come readily within the reach of the million.
We therefore regard E. G. Whitman &Co. as public
benefactors, and earnestly recommend that all who
use confections buy them at 318 Chestnut street.
PICI6PARING POE SPIIIIIO.—In looking around
among the various business establishments of this
city we have found none more thoroughly prepared
to meet the wants of the season on a most mag
nificent scale than the popular 01E1 clothing house of
Meters. C. Somers & Son, No. COS Chestnut street,
under Jayne's Rail. Their importations of fine
cloths, cassimeres, and other choice fabrics for
spring;kin at once large and in admirable taste, and
their ;styles of ready-made garment are tulsUrpasied
by any otters in the world. Among other choice
novelties now offered in this stock we noticed yes
terday the moat elegant piece of genuine old Eng
lish Buckskin Casaimere that we have seen in this
country for twenty years.' It is, in fact, a perfect
counterpart of the skin, in color and texture. Go
see it.
COMPARISON THE ONLY FAIR TRBT.—No matter
What may be said in favor of the various Sewing
lag:Dines in use, the only proper and certain way of
deciding upon their relative merits is by actual com
parison. This is the test which the "Florence" (sold
at sao Chestnut street) invites ; and it is a remarks•
Me feet that, whentver this eoinparison is made by
purchasers before selecting, their preference invaria
bly goes in favor of the "Florence' , Machine—
though we ought hardly to call this remarkable; it is
simply common sense. The Florence is a wonderful
machine. Every one sold by the agent is Warranted
to give perfect satisfaction, or the money will be re.
funded after three months' trial.
THE APPROACHING BATTLICS.—AII eyes are at
W. time turned towards our armies, awaiting the
issue..• Notwithstanding this anxiety, however, it
is gratifying to our citizens to find that W.W.
the popular coal dealer, No. 935 North Ninth atreet,
continue., as usual, to sell the beat and purest coal
in the city, at the lowest prices.
THE "PRIZE MEDAL" SHIRT, invented by Mr.
John F. Taggert, and sold by Mr. George Grant, 610
Chestnut street, is, without exception, the best shirt
of the age, in fit, comfort, beauty, and durability.
His Stock of Gentlemen's Furnishing Goode, of his
own exclusive manufaoture sad—importation, is
also the choicest in the city, and his prices are mo.
deride.
