g4t Vrtss. TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1864. Injustice to Colored illoldiers. Nothing but a truly great event can fully arouse the spirit of this singularly patient and procrastinating people. It actually re quired the rebellion to convince As that sla very is a curse ; indifferent to argument, we cannot resist a fact. The massacre at Fort Pillow was needed to awaken our sense of the injustice we have done our colored troops, for this cruel victory was a great event; so great, that from it should date a new and grander period of the war. The murder, the crucifixion, the burning alive of Union soldiers, are matters of tremendous importance in our future relations with the rebellion; more than this, they necessitate an immediate change in our own inconsistent policy. Lieutenant General GRANT, surrounded by bis staff, at the head of his army, is not one particle more of a United States soldier than the most obscure private in a black regiment. Ability, bravery, snccess, color, make immense difference in degree, but none in kin& A soldier is a soldier, and cannot be less than a soldier. If any colored volunteer is imbecile or cowardly, dismiss him ; but remember that while he wears the uniform, and guards the flag, no general, however great his s_erviees or his fame, has a higher right to the protection of the Go vernment So far as, the honor of the na tion is concerned—we do not say the in terest—it makes no difference whether the United States soldier murdered after sur rendering is white or black, the corporal of a blet t ei-i_ guard, or the commander-in-chief of theetin The itesr tide Government may possibly dis avow, and cannot dare to defend, the hor rible victory at Fort Pillow. But it has consistently defended its right to dictate to us the color of our troops, and to punish, by methods unknown in civilized war, black men who dare to defy its threats. Out of the distinction which it makes in the treat ment of black and white, troops such atrocities as those of Fort Pillow natu rally and almost inevitably , arise. The tyranny at Richmond bas declared that a negro has no right to expect to be treated as a soldier ; that in battle he need hope for no mercy, and from captivity will find no release- JXIOIPRILSON DAVIS, in his mes sages, with_ characteristic falseness, has represented that the United States arms its colored citizens to exterminate the women and children of the saoute, and FORREST and his friends merely acted out this lie to an extreme. So long as we permit the rebel authorities to maintain quietly this inhuman and insulting ground, we must not think the Port Pillow diabolism unnatural. It is the legitimate result of the foul injustice the rebel leaders have decreed, and which we have not yet been able to preveut And how shall weever prevent it ? How shall we ever extort irom the enemy a fair system of exchange, respect for our flag, and justice to our black soldiers and their white officers, while our own Go vernment virtually admits the very differ ence which the rebels claim ? How shall we enforce our declaration that the uniform equally protects its wearers, no matter - what their color, while we pay the black soldier much less than his white comrades ? Have we not practically admitted that he belongs to an interior class, while formally claiming his equality ? This inconsistent policy must be reformed. We - want no caste in our army. We want no pariah regiments. If we would* make the enemy respect the uni form, we must respect it first. The bill before Congreb-s to increase the pay and bounties of colored troops should be passed at once. The investigation into the massacre of Fort Pillow will prove nothing that we do not know, and will only place in formal record facts that are suf ficiently established. But if we examine our own weak and unjust policy, we shall find ourselves guilty of a glaring inconsistency, fruitful of evils notto be concealed, and un known dissatisfaction. 'When we have placed all our soldiers upon an equality of right, then, and not till then, can we con sistently demand of the enemy the justice he now refuses. We have not spoken of the stern duty of protecting these soldiers by the full exercise of our power. Our argument is shniyiy to show that for the cruelty of the rebels our own injustice is in part responsible. But we ask attention to those fine words of Presi dent laNcoLx, spoken last night in Balti more; strong words, worthy of the subject and the speaker, and true to the purpose of the people. The Great Fair F'aud. The funds of the Great Fair, in aid of the Sanitary Commission, to be held in this city, will be swelled in various ways. Con certs, lectures, private theatricals, operatic performances, as well as personal subscrip tions, will all be brought to bear upon the great question—how to obtain as much mo ney as possible, for the best possible pur pose. We have heard of one means of ef fecting this which, at all events, is unique. A Philadelphia lady, with the advantages of - youth, beauty, and accomplishments, was engaged,. before the war, to a Southern gentleman, her equal in position, in all re spects. Unfortunately, his sectional procli vities induced him to enter the rebel army, in which he rose to considerable rank. At present, and for some time past, he has been an inhabitant of Fort Delaware. The young lady, who has been consistently loyal from the first, would not hear of marrying him, - while in arms against her country. Now that he is in duress, she gives him the full meed of her pity, and, , as (the poet says) "pity melts the heart to love," has consented to make him a Union man—in one sense—by fulfil ling her old engagement of wedlock. We hear that the authorities, under the circum stances, consent to liberate the prisoner, for a week or two, in order that he may be firmly encompassed by the bonds of Hymen, and - that the lady has resolved that the marriage shall be public, in our Academy of Music, each person admitted on payment of a dol lar, and the amount realized by this rather unusual spectacle to be handed over, in the names of the bride and bridegroom, to the funds of the Sanitary Commission. Singu lar as this may appear, we are assured, on very good authority, that it_ is true. Of course, in such a case, the loyal bride is " fattest of the Fair." MR FAIR PAFER.—The literary paper to be instituted for the season of the Great Central Fair will not lack an abundance of writers and a variety of literature. Mr. CHARLES GODFREY LELAND, a writer of well known bei esprit, will conduct it, as sisted by our fine war lyrists, Boxan, Prof. COPPRB, and the Rev. Dr. Pumices. P'.inong the contributors will be some of our best poets and litterateurs : Mrs. HANDOI2II, Mrs. FARAH J. HALE, Mr. JOHN A. DOR GAN, Mr. HENRY P. LE AND, GRACE GRF.F.NWOOD, and many other writers of a city whose varied talent and culture will, for the first time in many years, find ade quate and combined expression in a literary journal of its own. This enterprise will give the Fair an inspiration. Tire ilszoratn or GETTY/33E39.-A number Of papers have taken up the story of 'sweet Jenny Wade, the heroine of Gettysburg," with more or less eloquence, and poems have been written, and even a monument proposed to her memory. But, as we must believe the people of Gettysburg, this _Jenny Wade was no heroine at all, and not even a good loyalist. A correspondent of The Press at the battle-field, in answer to a recent eulogy of the -new heroine, Writes :"Could your correspondent have been in Gettysburg on the Friday preced ing the battle, be might have heard her urg ing the rebels to take the horse of Mat black Aboli tionist, a good neighbor and a strong Union man." The Gettysburg Star repeats that the story is a most absurd one, especially where the real facts are so well known, and says : ii If these writers desire to have a monument erected - over her grave they are welcome to erect one, while the people here will stand off and laugh at the absurdity of the under taking We would rather not have alluded to this matter at all, and even now decline saying all that w e know, yet in justice to the country at large, we felt it our duty to say this much. Honor only to whom honor is due." LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL,' WAsuirunort, April 18, 1864. Upon the speedy action of Congress on the great subjects of taxation, tariff, and the national currency, will depend that fall in the extravagant price of gold which Can alone give to reckless speculation a check, enable the laboring classes to live in ordi nary comfort, and save the Government from irreparable financial disasters. The earnest men of. Congress are devoting their time and talents to this great work; and I am in hopes that, before we have passed the present week, the bad men who have no higher ambition but ..to gamble on the dis tresses of their country will receive a reeling, if not a fatal blow. There is no reason why every article used by the people should be sold at such exorbi tant rates. The pretext for it is the advance in the price of gold, and the depreciation of tire national currency. But when we reflect upon the almost un touched elements of the national wealth ; upon the unequalled prosperity of thousands of interests heretofore depressed ; and upon the fact that war has not permanently reached a foot of Northern soil, we may well wonder why the fruits of the earth and the products of human labor cannot be procured save at enormous and exagge rated prices. That they should be higher than in ordinary times all must ex pect, for that is are compensation we must pay for the effort- to maintain our liberties ; but there is no honest cause (no cause, indeed, that is not founded in a spirit of unconscionable speculation upon the danger of the Republic) why rents should advance from ten to thirty per cent.; why flour, and bacon, and beef should be offered at almost double rates ; and why men should be forced to strike for higher wages to save themselves 'from beg gary. The war has, in fact, conferred upon thousands advantages which, before the war, they had never known. The foun tain from which most of these extor tionate charges have mainly proceeded is the flood of paper money poured out from the State banks, their issues being terribly beyond their capital and their ability to pay. Tempted by this flow of money, freely of feted on easy credits, thousands have bor rowed without limit. Every sort of scheme has been thrown upon the market and into the stock exchanges, by which many have been misled, and by which more will even tually be ruined. The companies impro vised and organized in Pittsburg, P.hiladel phia, and New York—the rapid appreciation of doubtful securities—the sudden rise in gold the advance in everything merchantable or useful—have culminated precisely as might have been expected. The dashing operator gels rich in a day. The most moderate are intoxicated by the universal mania. Living beyond their means has become the habit of many, and, finally, honest labor, comfort able and compensated before the delirium began, too poor to embark in the grand lot tery, finds itself unable to live upon what were deemed the best of wages a few months ago, and is compelled to demand more, no matter how strong the pressure may be upon the employers. The practical cure is in immediate And general retrench merit ; in the taxation of the redundant cur rency of the State banks; in the enactment of a high tariff to put a stop to the excessive importations, that fruitful source of dissi pation and profligacy among the people ; in a word, to teach the people to live eco- nomically and upon their own labor. And I believe this cure will soon be applied. Our ability to pay our obligations, which is so clear and undoubted that all men should feel and know it, will prevent any disa.strons decline in our public securities, or in the national currency ; i and • the measures of Congress and the reaction among the people will be successful in bringing everything to an approximation of real values. There is, therefore, no ground for panic ; but, while there is abundant room for hope, there is a crying demand for retrenchment and re form. / OCCASIONAL. Not Less Christian for being Sanitary. We ask ittention for the admirable article which we print below. Its author, we take the liberty of saying, is widely and highly respected among earnest Christians and phi lanthropic men To the Editor of The Press: Sin : It is to be regretted that the friends of.the Christian Commission should manifest any disposi tion to interfere with the efforts that are in progress to obtain funds for the Sanitary Commission. When our Saviour was upon earth, his practice and his teaching bad relation to the bodies as well as to the souls of men ; and a hospital to provide for the sick and suffering is as mnoh in keeping with the require. menus of the Gospel as a place of worship for saints; or 'sinners. Indeed, it may be questioned whether the eloquence of the pulpit or the pungency and logic of the religious book or tract have as much power in commending the Christian faith to mankind as those acts of love and charity which appeal to the strongest sympathies of our nature. If a soldier or sailor lies sick, wounded, and exhausted, his mouth parched and unused for hours (if not days) to food or drink, a cup of tea, an orange, or even an onion, will serve him a better turn than a tract or Bible, good as they are. There has never been a more general call upon public charity, for any object, than that of the Christian Commission, and the responses have been most honorable to the character of our country. No one has been disposed to check this full current of sympathy with the supply of the moral and reli. gious wants of our noble army, whatever doubts may have been entertained of the wisdom or pru. deuce of some of their measures. They have done, and are doing, a good work, and the testimonials to their beneficent deeds, which have been widely circu lated, are gratifying to every loyal Christian heart. Why seek to diminish the receipts, or embarrass the efforts of the Sanitary Commission, whose purpose is as benevolent, and, surely, not less important, than the other? Can it be that such foul spirits as envy or cupidity have found their way into this hallowed province of a charity that should not "vaunt itself," nor ti think any evil u" If a citizen's house were on lire, it would seem very absurd as well as inhuman to let it burn up, while the Tract Society (which takes care of men's souls) and the Union Benevolent (which looks; to their bodies) are contending which shall throw on water. Equally absurd and more cruel is it to let the soldier pant and die in the open field because the Christian Commission insist upon giving him a tract or a newspaper, if the Sanitary Commission go to him with a sip of wine, and, while they are dividing their funds, the poor fellow passes beyond the aid of either ! The Christian Commission has its appropriate place and work. The Sanitary Commission mu. piea another and (at least) equally important sphere. The former concerns 'Melf rather with the spiritual than the temporal wants of the suffering, and the latter with their temporal rather than their spiritual. There is &bundant cell for the service of both. In ease of a sanguinary battle, which may take place at any moment, or possibly a series of battles in dit. ferent sections of the country, the utmost exertion of both would but partially afford the requisite help, but the first and most pressing can would be for physi. cal succor and relief. And we cannot fathom the wisdom or humanity which prompts an ecclesiasti cal body to advise those under its influence to with. hold their aid from an organization admirably con trived and managed to meet this call, that it may be furnished (if at all) through another medium, pro vided for another purpose! Was not the Divine benevolence as clearly manifested when Christ fed the hungry multitude (whom his disciples were ready to send to their homes hungry) as when the miracle of conversion was wrought upon the other multitude on the day of Pentecost? THE AIMSWAN CONTINENT.-00/. Rosa, C. E., late of the 45th Regiment of New York State Vo lunteers, has made a map of the North American Continent (British Possessions, United States, Mexico, Central America, and West Indies), which, in aelear and uncrowded manner, gives not only the entire topography, but also thevarious railroads completed to the tat March and those being con structed. It is of large size (40 by 60 inches), en graved on steel, printed on fine paper, and neatly colored. It is the cheapest, lateit, and most correct map yet tuned. All the new Territories of the United States, including the gold regions, are here defined, as well as the new State of Western Vir ginia. Mexico is given much fuller than usual, and every point has received the last corrections. It is New York publication, of which Mr. Felix Klemm, 148 South Fourth street, is the agent. "TUB ICHILDENN Oa TUB BATTLwiIaBLD" is the title of a new and superior song, issued by Lee it Walker, of this city. It is founded on that affecting circumstance of the battle-field of Gettysburg—the picture of the three pretty ehildren discovered on the body of the brave Sergeant liumiston—and with a good feeling, which does its author as much credit Lb his graceful verses and tender music, the song la offered for the benefit of the soldier's orphans. Both words and music are by Mr. James G. Clark, who has not seldom let his own eloquent words to music. They are dedicated, with a well• deserved compli ment, to Dr. Francis Bourns, whose philanthropy first brought this simple story of an American soldier to light. NATURAL AND ANTIWIDIAL FLOWERS.—Diessra. J. E. Tilton & 00. have in prep, to be published shortly, a new book on Wax Fruit, 'Flowers, the manufacture of sheet wax moulds, &.e. It wilt be a manual of great value to every one engaged in this popular and delightful recreation. The Risme pub litters have also almoner new anual nearly ready, on the art of making Skeleton Muquets or Phan• tom Flowers, including direction, for preserving natural flowers. WA RHIN GPTCPPIT. wAsingoTorr, April 18, 1884. The Impending Draft• In order to correct an erroneous impression, it is proper to say that the President's order of Maroh last requires the accounts for men raised by velum tary enlistments to be made up to the 15th of &pill, and the draft to commence as soon thereafter as practicable. No authority is given for the sanction that it will now positively take place on the Ist of May. There are more or less necessary and real delays connected with a proper adjustment of as• counts with a view to a draft, but additional and unreal ores to which eurreney has been given, serve only to increase the dittlaultlel. Postal Communication with Brazil. The bill which recently passed the House to es• tablish postal communication between the United States and Brazil is likely to meet the approval of the Senate. No subsidies are intended, and the amount to be expended is not to exceed $150,000, and the service Is to be thrown open to Sompetition. The carefully collected fasts and figures produced by Mr. ALLEY, of Massachusetts, in his hour-speech upon the subject, showing wherein, by our neglest, we have lost immense revenue, while Great Britain has been very largely benefited by its postal policy, viewed in a commercial connection, secured to the measure a far larger degree of support than, eon. sidering the present deranged condition of the court. try, was anticipated. The Adjournment of Congress. The resolution passed to-day for night sessions may be regarded as an evidence of the determina tion of the majority of the Houle to bring the set eion of Congress to a close at the earliest practicable period, say about the Ist of June. Some of the Se nators, however, express the opinion that Congress will remain here till about the month of July. Adjournment of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States adjourned sine die to-day, after announcing deotaiona of a long Hat of ease.. Senate' Cofitirmations. The Senate today, in executive seaiion, confirm. cd the nomination of Derma , W. WILDER, of Ken_ sae, as surveyor general of the district or Kansas and Nebraska ; First Lieutenant PHILIP C. KEN rimy, to beeaptain ; Second Lieutenant J. C. Rea ms, to be first lieutenant in the marine corps. - Republican Caucus. There was a full attendance at the Union or Re publican caucus, to-night, at the Capitol, the object beiEg to arrange and expedite the business or the Horse. It Was agreed to take up the internal reve nue tax bin at neon to-morrow, and continue ita consideration until the hour of recess. No unne ctssary debate is to be indulged, but a fair op portunity is to be afforded for explanation of amendments, according to the rules. In the evening the ordinary business will be taken up. An who attended the caucus were unanimously in favor of paseing the tax bill at the earliest practica ble time, as well as all others of a public character, in other words, to industriously apply themselves to the important measures before them. Ordered to West. Tennessee. \Major General C. C. WASH/313MM, of Witomein, bac been ordered to take command of the Depart ment of West Tennessee, in the place of General HURLBUT, relieva, who is ordered to repott by letter to the Adjutant General at Washington. Gen. Wioninuniez has left this city for Memphis. The 10-40 Loan. The subscriptions to the ten•fortg loan reported at the Treasury Department to-day amounted to $5,097,000. Illness of Mr. Spinner. Mr. 5P11714813, the Treasurer, is seriously ill. On Salutday, for the fret day since the war commenced, was thia faithful omeer absent from his poet, and incapacitated for work. Enormous *ales of Ten-Forty Bonds. The. Treasury Department has received advises that the sale of ten•forty bonds on Saturday reached the enormous sum of five millions of dollars. Appointments. THOMAS A. Os - Bonne has been appointed United Sratee marshal for Kaneas, in the plate of MaDow , am., elected mayor of Leavenworth, and GEORGE W. DA COSTA ' of that State, haa been appointed paymaater. Land Grants to Colleges. The President has approved the sot extending for two years, from this date, the time within which the States and Territories may accept the grants of land donated for the establishment of colleges for the benefit of agricultural and the mechanical arts. Went Virginia is now included within the previsions of this law. Me. Number of Ships-of-War Awaiting Crews. The number of naval vessels now waiting for crews is about forty, and the number is constantly increasing, in spite of all the elibrts that can be made to rectuit seamen. Up to the preaent time not a man has been transferred from the army to the navy under the law passed for that purpose. Seamen whose time has expired more than six months ago are still detained in the service from necessity, as otherwise the work vitally necessary to be accomplished by the navy in the suppression of the rebellion must be abandoned. The Estimated Cost of the Proposed Gun boat Canal around Niagara Palls. General SmuAnm, in his report to the President on the gunboat canals between tidewater. and the lakes, estimates the cost of a ship canal around the Palls of Niagara, one hundred and five feet wide on the surf ace, and ninety- ftve feet wide °Vie bottom, with twelve feet depth of water, having loans two hundred and seventy five feet long by fortpilve feet wide in the chamber, capable of passing a gunboat of one thousand two hundred and fifty teas burthen, at $5.96S 947 with single locks, and $7.538,529 with double locks. This is the average cosi of five lines surveys d last year; the average length of lines is eight miles and three thousand and seventy feet. In the brief synopsis recently given of this report, the cost of this canal was erroneously printed at from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000. OPENING OF TILE MARYLAND SANITARY FAIR. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. He Declares that Colored Soldiers shall be Protected. RETRIBUTION FOR THE FORT PILLOW MASSACRE. BALTINOBB, April 18.—The inauguration exer.. chez of the Great Fair at Maryland Dust'tate, to night, were very imposing. The display was ex ceedingly fine, and the immense building was thronged in every part. President Lincoln made a speech, which contained an important reference to the Fort Pillow massacre. The President's appearance in the hall was greeted With tremendous applause, Which con tinued some momenta. After the inaugural address of Governor Bradford, the President was loudly called for, and in response he proceeded to make a brief address. He referred to the great change that bad taken place in Baltimore in the last‘three years. Truly, he said, the world moves. At the Qom mencement of the war the soldier, of the Union could not pass through Baltimore unmolested, and now we have this large assemblage of people brought together to do them honor, and to provide Tor their wants, and to make them comfortable. All honor to the brave pa triots who had wrought the change, and to the noble women who aided them. When this war began, scarcely one individual supposed it Would have lasted till now. All thought it would have ended in some way in a much shorter time. Very few at that time thought the institution of slavery would be very much affected by it; but those expec tations were not realized ; and here we are—[laugh. ter]—and slavery has been somewhat affected, [Great laughter.] so, true it is, my friends, that " Man proposes and God disposes." The world, be said, had long been in want of a correct definition of the word freedom. Whilst all professed to advocate liberty, there was in the minds of many a very opposite view of what liberty was; with one man liberty implied to work for him self and do as he pleased with the proceeds of his labor ; with others liberty meant to do as you. pleased with other men and their labor. One of these two conflicting ideas would have to give way to the other. He thought from some occurrences which bad only lately taken place in Maryland her people were about to determine which of these views of freedom would control her destiny. The President passed on to refer to a matter which be said be supposed was just now deeply agitating the minds of the people all over the country. tie alluded to the occurrence which is reported to have taken place at Fort Pillow on the Mississippi river— the massacre of several hundred colored soldier. by the Confederates. Many supposed that the Govern ment did not Intend to do its duty in fegard to the protection of these colored soldiers. He desired to say that all such were mistaken. When the question of employing colored men as soldiers was left to the Government, it rested very much with himself whether he should make col• dierr of them or not. He pondered the matter care• fully, aed when he became convinced that it was a duty to so employ them, he did not hesitate to do so. He stood before the American people responsi ble for the act ; responsible before the Christian world ; responsible for it he should stand in the area of the historian ; responsible for it, he stood before God ; and he did not shrink from the deci sion he had made, for he believed it was right; but when the Government determined to make soldiers of these colored people, hethought it only just that they would have the same protection as the white soldiers [applause], and he hesitated not to declare that the Government would do so, and would protect them to the utmost of its fl power. Whenever a clear, well-au thenticated case should be made out, InETWBUTION snoriar 'HOLLOW. It had hitherto been difficult to ascertain facts with that certainty which should govern a decision in a matter so serious. • But in the affair at Fort Pillow, he thought they were likely to find a clear case. The Government has no direct evidence to confirm the reports in existence relative to the massacre, but he himself feared that the facts, as related, were true. When the Government does know the fees from official source., and they substantiate the reports, retribution will surely be given. [Great applause.] But how should that retribution be adminiatered was a question still to be settled. Would it be just to take the lives of prisoners in Washington, in Fort Delaware, or elsewhere, in retaliation for acts in which they had not a share? Would it be right to take the prisoner captured, say at Vieksburg, andishoot him for acts of which be is not guilty, and which it will probably be found were the order ing of only a few individuals, or possibly of only one man I The President reiterated that the Govern. ment would not fail to visit retribution, when the facts were clearly proven. Throughout his remarks he was warmly , applauded, especially his enunoia ation of a determination to visit retribution for the barbarous deeds of the rebels. The Russian Frigate PeresWet.

She had en assorted cargo valued at £17,000. The vessel was of 700 tone, and worth $125,000. The efforts to save the vessel, which was ashore, would probably be succesefal. A large number of colored troops from Annapolis had arrived at Hilton Head, and more were ex pected. The atearorra North Star •nd Woybosset had ar rived from New York.

Colonel Chapman is transferred, with the Ist brigade of the lot division, to the 3d division, and General Davies Is ordered to report to General Gregg, of the 2d division, for duty. The 3d division will therefore be under the command, of General Wilson, the lit under General Torbert. and the 2d under General Gregg, while the corps will be commanded by Gene ral Sheridan, whose old command in the Southwest will devolve upon General Kilpatrick. P:evious to General Kilpatrick leaving his old command, a communication was received by him from General Robt. E. Lee, by nag of truce, through army headquarters, inquiring of General K. whether the orders round upon Colonel Dahlgren, as published in the Richmond papers, were authentic and autho rized by bim. The reply was a bitter and indignant denial. There Is little doubt that the reason why Colonel Dabigren 9 e body is not given up is because Of its shameful mutilation and unchristian burial.

Mr. MopOIIGALL said that the agents and counsel in Califcrnla-•bad arrayed the power of the Government against many p. or and unfortunate individuals in regard to private land claims. The claim. of these peo ple had been ovet thrown in cases where really the Government had no interest. Mr. Stanton himself re• ceived 00.000 for brief eery - Ices in some such cases by employing the power of the money of the United States Government for that purpose. It was necessary that men should know something of Mexican and Spanish law in these cares The policy of the agents of the last administration in these cases seemed to be Just to find out what lands were in dispute, and then, if the parties could not agree. further to antgonize them. Forty then. sand dollars of it es have been entailed upon private land claims in California by men who are as bold and per istent as they are Ignorant. .

The Mineral Lando. . Mr. PPRNANDO WOOD offered the following: Whereas; The Government of the United States, in suc ceeding to the sovereignty of the regions of country in which the mines of Colorado and Arizona are sitnsted, became invested with a complete priority title to such 113211 es: and whereas. no act of Congress has been roused all. nating or providing for the disposal of any part there of, or prescribing measures for the nee and working of them; and whereas. Individuals and companies are as. riming ownership and cocupation, and attempting to work some of the mines. and are inducing the invest ment of capital in them by innocent parties - ,. therefore, Bseofroed. Tbat the President of the Unite states be re quested to take such measures as in his j udgment may be necessary for the protection of tt a right and interest of the Government in the mineral lands and mines of Co lorado and Arizona until the proper legislation shall be provided by Congress. Mr. WOOD sa d the resolution explained itself, It was well known the Government Possessed valuable in terests in these mines which had not been p cited with. It was the duty of the Government to make available every species of property it possessed. before it had re course to the extraordinary methods it was now pursu ing to procure fends. These mining companies which Were now being organized fin New York, which pro posed to have an aggregate capital of over iltne. were in the main lictitioue so far ass ubstan t ia l value Is concerned, and those of them that were of value were mostly based on the assumed ownership of mines which were located on Government lands. Be believed that there were hundreds of millions of dollars of these lands belonging to the Government, and before it bad recourse to this system of undue ex paneion, of extraordinary taxation, of abolition of State banks. and of the attempts now being nude to mo nopolize the circulative . medium of the whose country, it should reduce one. half of the expenditures, and con vert these mines into resources by which to aid blithe pay of these expenditures. The resolution he offered left it to the President to take eneh means as in his judg ment should ilea. necessary to preserve these interests, until Congress provided the necessary legislation. Who could object to this? None but those interested in some pecuniary sense. Mr. HASSON. of lowa. suggested that the resolution be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means in order to include other public property, Very valuable coal min, a have been discovered ice Wa.hlogion Terri tory, which are already squatted on, to the exclusion of the interests of the Government Mr. HENS NTT, delegate from Colorado. opposed the resolution saying the mineral laude were always worked without interference from WM Government. The working of them was of great public benefit, and the system should go on as it Is. It now produced one.-fonetb of the present circulation of gold and silver. The corn ay-suttee formed in New York. by citizens of Colorado. were bona fide. He did not know what outsiders were doing, but he knew that Y or k l a n of the best men were engaged in New York In these mining transae• Cone. Mr. WOOD bad no doubt some of them men were re sponsible, but, by the delay of Congressional action. those mines would be exhaused. Mr. WASEIBMINB. of Illinois, inquired whether the gentleman from New York proposed to drive off the miners, who work the mines under the laws of the States or Territories The President could take pos session only by a military force, and civil war might enema. Mr. WOOD referred the gentleman to the resolution, which provided that the President shall proceed In any way his judgment iney dictate in order to protect the interests of the Government in these mineral districts.

Mr. W &MON, of lowa. sail this was not the time to grant forty-six millions of acres of public lands. and desired to test the sense of the House by moving to lay the bill on the table. Mr SWEAT, of Maine. in advocating the bill, said the fact that that company was incorporated by that State was a mere chance. and showed that the distance to the Pacific was much shorter than by the Central Railroad. The expse of building , too, was less, and greater pub lic interal an te would be subserved by its construction. Instead of interfering with the Central Pacific Railroad it would, as he bad been informed, be an advantage to it. He referred to the reports of the late Gen.

TEE GERMAN OrituL—The opening night of the opera, last evening, at the Chestnut-street Theatre, was a success which it gives us pleasure to chro - The house was crowded, and the perform ance of "Martha" WAS quite worthy of the deli• fumy, beauty, and vigor which has made this charm ing work an ever•fresh sensation. Madame Johanneen sang the part of Martha admi rably; her voice, particularly in the higher notes, being remarkably clear and flute-like. Her render ing of "The Last Hose of Summer" was simple and effective, and the song was enthusiastically encored. The role of Nancy was performed by Frederiol, who sang the part of the lively maid with great spirit. The duets between Madame JOhantusen and this lady were harmoniously and charmingly given. Mr. Himmel., as Lionel, received great ap plause. We may particularly notice his expressive singing of the beautiful aria, "Act so Fromm," in the third act, which the audience required him to repeat. The part of Plunket was remarkably well sung and acted byMr. Steineolte, whose voice is at the same time robust and extremely flexible. At the close of him drinking song, in the third act, he astonished the audience by the length and ease of one of his trllls. The buffo ohs. raster of Lord Tristan fell into the hands of Mr. Graff, who rendered it melodiously and comically. Tile concerted pieces throughout the opera were filing in the best harmony and with great effect. The audience was extremely enthusiastic, clearly showing by its applause that German opera is a favorite and thoroughly appreciated amusement in Philadelphia. Tanight, "The Barber of Seville," Rossinihr masterpiece of musical comedy, will be given with a welcome cast, including the favorite names of Ma dame Jobammen and liabelmann. Stelnecke, a well educated actor, will be the Figaro of the event= ; and Gram Who has sung any number of parts, will appear as Barto/o. That " The Barber" is a most irresistible piece of musical good nature it is hardly necessary to say. But there will be another crowd. ed house, no doubt.

Jr • 1aN:~ Grace Greenwood's Lecture at the Acade. my of Music. • A large audience greeted Mrs. Lippincott, more widely known as Grate Greenwood, on the oaaa. sion, last evening, of her appearance at the &cede' my of Music to deliver a lecture on " The 'Lights of the War Cloud." Not so compact as the auditory which listened to Miss Dickinson, it was, however, equally appreciative and intelligent in its character, and every way worthy of the eminent authoress and the subject which she had ehorien for her dii• course. It was listened to with earnest attention, and was greeted with discriminating applause. The funds of the Sanitary Commission, in whose behalf she appeared, were greatly augmented, no doubt, and the audience were doubly rewarded for their presence. The lady was introduced by Hon. P. C. Shannon, of Pittsburg, in a few words of merited oomph.. went. The name of Grace Greenwood, he said, bore with it an enchantment that needed no en logium. She was a noble representative or the • women of her day, and her eloquence was echoed in every womanly breast. The part taken by the women of the Union was one of the most pleasing facts of our great war. He or ly regretted that he bad not the eloquence of a Webster or a Clay, to do justice to the noble women who have in our strug gle aided eo effectively the cause of human freedom and universal emancipation. The leoluress was received with applause. She remarked in the commencement that her lettuce had been objected to because it touched upon political matters, as if anything could be written noccatetlays, from clove• letter up to an order for goods, that was mot pollticaL The politics of to day was the history of tomorrow. To prevent any misapprehension, however, she would In the outset define her posi tion. She was a rabid Unionist and a rabider Abe litioniat [applause]. a womanrs tights woman, and a dark complexioned Republican. She believed in the Bible and the Declaration of Independence ; in the Constitution of the United States, and the Precise matron of Emancipation. She believed in Thomas Jefferson and Wendell Phillips ; George Washington and Abraham Lincoln ; in Patrick Henry and Henry Ward Beecher [applatise] ; Alexander Hamilton and Charles Sumner; in old John Brown and Benjamin F. Butler. Now that she had made a clean breast of it, she desired, before she',unlimbered her light ar tillery, that those who differed from her might leave and not disturb her in the middle of her diecourse. [Laughter.] The war cloud which has hung over us so long is not, she said like the heavy pall of utter blackness, abutting us out from the beauties of heaven. It has brought tempest, and terror, and fiery retribution in its cook bosom, but not national destruction. Through the aloud shines the bright star of hope. Wesee that cloud crimsoned with a soft aurora gleam that presages the morning of the great deliverance. It is cheering, in these troublous Mnem, to think how much good we have gained out of evil, what victory out of defeat. God bad suffered us to fall into the pit became we were on the wrong path. Our first misfortunes had resulted from a uziaappre henlion of the tine issue. We worked only for outer Wee. God meant that we shOuld work for all the peoples of the world. Who did not see that if our armies had been sus cespfui at the beginning of the war we should only have driven the wltehes of seceeeton from the caul dron but for a time t Their return would have been sure and certain. Now the army and navy and emancipation are allied power., and they have sue ceetied in drivieg the mother-witch slavery away from its last stronghold. The experience of the past three years had taught our people a great lesson of patience. We Were beginning to realise that we live in an age as heroic as any ever known. It had shown examples of patriotism and selesacriffee that ale unparalleled in history. The women of the corn:illy had not been behind the ir en in aelforacri• firing devotion. it is said of a distinguished woman of IfeW York the, after sending two rose to the war. site had much re gret that her third was too young to go with them. Bow grand are the sacrifices of the women of ametace! Did they occur in that humbug time of the Crusaders, hew.they would have thrilled the hearts of million, of readers ! lit a parade of volunteer, in one of the Prim:d es] cities, during the early part of the war, there was a prang lady witnessing the departure of the braves to the tear. She was weeping, and a bystander said. to r. • Why. YOU have no brother. fattier, or lover in the wart why should you cry I" •' That's what makes me cry," raid the maiden. "Oh, that I had a lover or a brother to send to the war!" The speaker knew one noble Spartan mother who had given six eons to the war. She is a widow. and her offering =Wit well be called the "widow's aga t e. [Ap plause.) Precious must be the cause for which WO sacrifice so much. The cause is noble to thou who, Gem their position, cannot fail to sustain their country.

For this, thanks to a patriotic and noble Governor. A good o vernor was a special providence of God in times like these.

They (the Copper heads) will be spoiled, too, if they do not be cautious Our soldiers can bear a good deal of spelling. She would rather have the rin of commission which the Unitary Committee are committing towards the soldiere than the acts of omission of the Copperheads. She remembered the acts of violence in Mew York, Boston, and Philadel pea,. when we el et ad have been glad to have had the co-operation of a regiment of soldiers. They carry upon their shoulders the dignity of the Oniteti 'elates. They are a noble set of men.

Doughface hill Was venalitl g from the free North Slavery. about to lad. was teeing all its worshippers. How marvellous have been the cheeses which this war has produced.

Camp Douglas, in Chicago, con tains as many brave men, deluded. it is truce in a bad - ranee. as many Southern prisons contain of our maxi. Those men are true, sincere, and brave, How laisera• ble and crntemptible are their less bold friends who re main in the North. But we could afford to tolerate them, for the influence of Copperheadism was fast de. coals a. The old doughface element had entirely disap peared from our literature. The magazines are at last free and independent a publishing house in Philadel phia, that a few years ago refused to publish Lon ere], lima poems because they had too many anti-slavery sentiments, would now have only one objection to pub lishing their, that probably they did not contain enough of anti slavery sentiment [Applanse ] The horrors of slavery were depicted with 'treat force and pathos, and the institution was placed in colors too bright to be mis understood.

If we steadfastly stand by the right they will Ovine around to na at last. Folly altd frenzy, thank God, are never immortal We were not made that we should be angry with each other forever. The war has taught us that treason is the meanest and most stupendous of crimes, and brings its own retribution. When the Southern traitors struck at the flag of the l7aion, they struck off the shackles from the slaves. So the Northern traitor, in standing by his Southern friend, base his level with respectable and good people. Another feature of our situation is the undisputed pos session of that rare good thing, for which a rotillogoptier of Athens looked for in vain. and that is an honest man. There is one honest man in the land. and every child knows who that is. He lives in the White Ilome at Washington.

The ' Rev. Mr. Talmadge was elected president, and Dlr. Samuel Sartain secretary. The president opened the meeting wntorayer, at the conclusion of which he stated in brief the object of the meeting, and said it is not charity the work huo women want but justice. The " Song of the Shirt" was then read by AIM Cecile Rush in her usual eloquent atylo. Numerous lettere were then read from the work ing-women, which had been previously _received by the secretary.

For eight paint of cavalry pants we get $4, or 50 cents per pair, and it is impossible for any wo man to make that number in a week. There is much better work provided at the arsenal, but that work is taken home by the clerks to their wives, mother., and sweethearts. At this favored work same make $l4 per week. One clerk is known to have his wife and two sisters thus employed, and another sister engaged at the arsenal at $6 per week. Number Two says the' prises have become so re• tinged as to make it almost for mipossi draw e rs to get along.
