From the conflicting reports of the battle on the Red river it is impossible to form a correct opinion of the result. It is probable that the Union forces were defeated, but un likely that the rebel advantage was decisive. A Cairo telegram states, upon the - authority of letters from officers with the expedition, that, after t. - 31I'ln was defeated, Ficanal.ix turned the day against the enemy. We trust this may be found true, but no one has reason to be surprised or disheartened by news of a repulse in Northwestern Louisi ana. Victory there would indeed be great {min but it does not follow that defeat would be great loss, for this capital reason—the rebel stake is much greater than our o wn. The war, is in Virginia, and all defeats or successes out of that State are but seconda ry. There are the main armies, and there will be the great battle. No triumphs else where, now that we hold the Mississippi, could compensate the country for the defeat of the Army of the Potomac in the spring of 1864; no victory at present possible in the West could prevent the sudden fall of the rebellion if General GRANT should break its power in the East. Every man that the .2nemy could detach from points not threat ened by our arms has doubtless been hurried tip to the leinforcement of ZEE, and we - know that the whole weight of the war now rests upon the Army of the Potomac. If this mighty host enters Richmond, even if it fights a battle every day for months to do it, all failures elsewhere will be re deemed, and all other successes made com paratively irgignificant. Until that great campaign is decided, elation and depression z.nd equally unwise. The I''retAtinen in youth Carolina. The valmble and interesting letter of Mr. Ilacua - N TUMLIIcSON which we publish to day, exhibits some of the resul.s of emanci pation, which indicate how great will yet be its practical 1 - tbile to the country. This let ter was evidently hastily written, and not intended for publication, but that its state meats are literally eorreet is not to be doubted. Mr. Tommr:soN is an impartial and unusually intelligent observer, and his authority is unquestionable. Emancipation, vindicated Brat of all by justice, is also vindicated by its usefulness. The whole colored population of the Port Royal dis trict, South Carolina, is Self-supporting, having raised itself from absolute depen dence on the charities of the Government in less than two years. The freedmen are purchasing plantations, and making theta pro table. The sudden change from slave ry to freedom has not made them less in dustrious, but, to the contrary, has in creased their energy and application. Their material condition has been remarkably improved, and Mr. McKim, in his introduc tory letter, has suggested an argument based on the brisk trade these freedmen have begun with the North, by which the reader r.an easily see what a great market may be 6pened. It needs no logic to prove that this rapid advance in material civilization must be attended by commensurate moral and in tellectual progress, and we commend Mr. TolirmsoN's statement of facts to those who are not yet convinced that emancipa tion has ceased to be an experiment. The Ladies and the Sanitary Fair. Few, perhaps, are aware of the great and untiring exertions which have been made by the ladies of our city in behalf of the Sa nitary Fair, to be held here in June next,"or of the wonderful success which has crowned their efforts. The individual labors of each are of course known to her own circle of friends, but the public would be astonished if a knowledge of the vast total could be given. It is, in such works of charity as this that the noble nature of woman shines forth pre-eminent. Through the whole progress of the war the cheering assistance of the gentler sex has smoothed the rugged path and raised the drooping spirits of the tired soldier, who, lying sick or wounded in the hospital far horn home, has found -a kind hand to perform a hundred soothing offices, and to console him for the absence of the - wife, the mother, or the sister for whom his heart yearns. The various committees which have been organized for the purpose of collecting do nations of all sorts have been and still are hard at work, and have met with the most cheering encouragement in the prosecution of their labors. Our citizens have responded liberally to the appeals of the ladies, and contributions of all sorts have been made with lavish generosity_ Money has been poured into their laps as if its only value were the benefit it would be - to the suffering soldier, and with a confidence that in the hands of the Sanitary Commission its mis sion could not fail. It is well that the public should know of the exertions which are being made, so that all may be encouraged to add their portion to the great cause. Our Fair cannot fail to ?. - ye a great, success ; its course is marked out, and its destinies entrusted to those who are heart and soul in the - work. We may anticipate a financial result which will astonish even the most sanguine friends of the Commission, if the generosity which has been evinced so far is continued until the end. Let all the men and women of the community join with those who have so in dustriously forwarded the cause of our sol -diers, and the Philadelphia Fair will be a -triumph. Tile President's Address at Baltimore • The remarks of the President at the great Mary land Fair, in Baltimore, on the evening of 'Monday last, having been sent forth with some imperfectioas, we now print and subjoin a corrected copy. It is un necessary that we should attempt to interpret that which so aptly and charaoteristioally explains itself. But he who reads these forcible sentences must sum mon to his recollection the place in which they were delivered, the events to which they in appositely refer, and the great questions with which they deal and almost decide. . . . LLADMM AND GENTLEMEN: Calling to mind that we ate in Baltimore, we cannot fail to note that the world moves. Looking upon these many People assembled here to serve, as they best may, the sol diers of the Union, it occurs at once that three years ago the same soldiers could not so much as pass through Baltimore. The change from then till now is both great and grstifsing. Blessings on the brave men who have wrought the change, and the fair - women who strive to reward them ror it. But Baltimore sussed' more than could happen - within Baltimore. The charge within Baltimore is part only of a far wider change. When the war . began, three sears ago, neither party, nor any man, expected it would last till now. Each looked for the end, in some way, long em to-day. Neither dill any anticipate that domestic !delivery would be much affeelted by the war. But here we are ; the war ass .ZlOl ended, and slavery has been much affected—how mach ocean not now to be recounted. So true Is it that man proposes and God disposes. But we can see the past thougtiwe may not claim to have directed it; and seeing it, in this case, we feel more hopeful and confident for the future. The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same Ming. With some, the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor, while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men'. labor. Here are two, not only different, but insompatthle things, called by the same name, liberty. And it fol , lows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible name a—liberty and tyranny. • The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a Tilmra for, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty ; and precisely the Same difference prevail. today among Us human creatures, even in the North, and all professing to love Wiens. Hence, we behold the processes by which thousands are daily passing from under the yoke of bondage, hail ed by some as the advance of liberty, and bewailed by others as the der:traction of all liberty. Recent ly, as it seems, the people of Maryland have been doing something to define liberty; and thanks to ths•m that, in what they have done, the wolf's dic tionary has been repudiated. It is not very becoming for one in my position to make speeches at great length ;• but there is another subject upon which I feel that 'I ought to say a word. El painful rumor, true, I fear, has reached us of the massacre, by the rebel forces at Fort Pillow, in the we et end of Tennessee, on the Mississippi river, of some three hundred colored soldiers and white offi cers, who had just been overpowered by their assail ants. There seems to be some anxiety in the public mind whether the Government is doing its duty to the colored soldier, and to the service, at this point. At the beginning of the war, and for some time, the use of colored troops was not contem plated ; and how the charge of purpose was wrought I will not now take time to explain. Upon a'' clear conviction of duty, I resolve.: to torn that ele ment of strength to account; nd I am responsible pe to h for it to the American ople te ()mistier' world, to history, and on my final account to God. Having determined to use the negro as a soldier, there is no way but to give him ail the protection given to any other soldier. The difficulty is not in stating the principle, but in Drastically applying ii. It is a 'mistake to suppose the Government is rm diftorent to this matter, or is not doing the beat it can in regard to it. We do not to day know that a colored soldier, or white officer commanding co lored eoldiers, has been massacred by the rebels when made a prisoner. We fear it, believe it, I may itay, but we do not &mow it, To take the life of one of their prisoners on the assumption that they murder ours, when it is Short of certainty that they do murder ours, might be too Berious, too cruel a mistake. We are baying the Fort Pillow affair thoroughly investigated and such inv.stigstio7-• will probably show conclusively how the truth is. If, after all that has been said, it shall turn out that there has been no massacre at Fort Pillow, it will be almost safe to say there has been none, and will be none elsewhere. If there has been the massacre of three hundred there, or even the tenth Part of three hundred, it will be conclusively proven; and being so proven, the retribution shall ma surely come. It will be matter of grave consideration in what exact course to apply the retribution ; but in the supposed case, is must come.- Wash. Chronicle. WASIIINGrTON WASHINGTON, April 20, 1864. The Army. Brigadier General PRINCE, who commanded a divi. Mon in the 'former corps of General Enema, has been ordered to the military district of Paducah, Columbus, and Cairo. General RICKETTS tilts his place. The 2d Army Corps, Major General Ham coos, was reviewed by General GRANT yesterday. The army is maturing for EXCLAIM Adverse Report on Bounties to Nine- Months Men. The report from the Senate ➢Zilitary Committee by itir. Lars, of Indiana, adverse to the House bill for paying a bounty of $2.5 to nine. months militia, represents that the Governor of Pennsylvania ex ceeded his authority in promising bounties to the men enlisted under the earl of the President of Au• gust 4, 1862, for 300,000 militia for nine months. That the. War Department ordered the discontinuance of further enlistments on learning of the Governor's action. That by mistake of the mustering officers and paymasters, 3934 men of Vermont regiments Irtre allowed such bounty, in addition to 19,881 of She Pennsylvania militia. It would require, to pay the remaining 61,487 Militia, the sum of t,loo 537,L75, the payment of which is required as a gratuity, no such bounty having been promised. It is held that the Government should not repeat its own wrongful sets to its injury and loss, and it is also claimed that no hardship can result beeatlee higher local bounties were given than Government has ever offered. Gen. Slough's Administration in Alex. andria. senator UELANDLBE to-day reported from the Committee on the Conduct of the War, upon the resolution of inquiry into the truth of the charges affecting the administration of General SLOII6EI, the military governor of Alexandria, with particular reicience to the alleged cruelty practiced upon the aoidiera in the slave-pen of that city, that, afters canvass of the facts, they came to the conclution that "the adminittration of General SLOI7GH has been characterized by every discretion and a careful regard for the peace and good order of the commu nity over which he was apofformi, and deservea, as it has received, the commendation of the milit_try ate civil authorities of our Government."

The eafety-valve was weighed for aom pounde, and the gunge showed al. A court of in quiry will be ordered. The President's Reception. The President's reception last night was one of the largest ever held in the White linuse. Near five thousand people attended during the evening, and at one time_the interior was one densely crowded mars of living humanity, and a thousand people on the outside waiting to get in. An exit through the windows was finally obtained by the insiders, and towards 11 o'clock the crowd thinned out so that egress was obtained without much (Urbanity. This is the last reception of the season. The Indian Disturbances in Arizona. Major WILLIS, in an official despatch dated Fort Whipple, Arizoss, cape: "The people of this sec- Von are very much excited with regard to the Indian distnibanaes; so much so that, during a visit to the mines, I noticed men working with arms beside them, and it is not considered safe to leave their dwellings Without them. Voices immediate steps are taken to quell theae Indiana, it will be of serious detriment to the Territory.” The Recruitin/ and Crediting of New egiments. The Secretary of War has ordered that any new regiment. of heavy artillery that msy be organized and filled up to the legal standard of 1,738 officers and men, within the period of twenty days from this date, will be received and credited. If regiments are not full on or before the 10:h of May, the recruits will be put into the artillery or infsntry organiza tions. . This order will not postpone the draft, but such troops as may be raised prior to the draft will be deducted from the quota for draft. Prize Cases. The Secretary of the Navy sent to the H :useto day the report of the Solicitor of the TreaauLy relaa• live to the disposition of prizs cases. The report, which is very voluminous, details a history of the investigation requested by the counsel for the cap. ore in the case of the prize Anne, regarding the conduct of the officers of the District Court and other persons alleged to be guilty of it (ii the custody and disposition of prize property and the proceeds thereof. The Solicitor refrains, in summing up the results of the testimony, from any judgment upon the acts of the two gentlemen—one in a judicial and the other in a legislative position—whose conduct has been the subject of some animadversion on the part of witnesses, and also by- counsel, and con eludes, with regard to the general results of the investigation, that "the. Navy Department of the country will form their judgment ; but for my own part I think it would have been unreasonable to expect of public officers the display of more activity and zeal and capacity than have been exhibited by those acnisected with the prize proceedings; and that although there have been delays and irregulari ties, yet, on the whole, these proceedings will com pare favorably in point of Integrity, economy, and de:patch with like proceedings in any country at any time."

CAIRO, April 19 —Ten more murdered men from Fort Pillow were picked up a few days since, from biding places, where they have been suffering since the battle, and were brought up to the Mound City Horpital. The guerillas made a raid recently on the cotton plantation at Tenser, La., forty miles bclOw Viektburg, capturing a number of mules and ne gross, and carried off' W. R. Allison, of Mattoon, 111. After getting to a safe distance, they compelled him to dig his own grave, and made the negroes bury him. This statement is derived from the super interdeLt of the plantation, who arrived here, and can be relied on. The guerillas along the river are determined the abandoned plantations shall not be worked by Northern men.

He said the Senator had sneerel at the proposition. as one calculated to destroy the har mony of the people of the forth. We had ne w in oar army two hundred thousand, more or lees, of brave bleat men. fighting as earnestly for the euppreselon of the.rebellion as any of the men sent from Illinois. and yet the Sena:or wants the discramination made against this class, in a bill to define the qualifications of voters in Montana Be (Mr. Wilkinson) was mooed to the pro-slavery infinenca which had so long prevail ed in the councils of the nation, and seemed now to be attempted to be conciliated by some of the Republican members. We were fighting against the very element which has so long exercised an evil power and influ erre in this country. He did not snow w: ether uegroal would vole in Montana or net; his amendment to the Donee bill. as adopted by the gAtia.l.43, did not relate to who should vote in Montana As to the point that lion grass should no longer legislate in the interests of slave ry. the sooner the Senate meets the issue before it the better. Mr. HENDRICKS said that while in some of the Eastern states mearces were allowed the right of suf frage In the Itorthweet the sentiment has been clearly esprenecd that they atonic. hot be allowed to vote. When the negro is aliowsd to vote in Montano, he abouid be allowed to vote in all the States.

The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the bin repealing the Fusittve-Slave law. Mr. gOaTilt. of Connecticut said in his opinion the law of 1850 was a most.iniquitous one, and he would cheerfully vote for its repeal. It was passed at ape Mod of high political excitement. He voted for the smendmelt of Mr Sherman yeeterday. because he had blab authority tor doing so. He contended that Roger Sherman and Olive, Ellsworth were in 1793 in favor of tie law for the rendition of fugitive slave.. and read voluminous extracts from the records of Congress of that date to prove it 'Though he could not show the aye and my vote in which their names were re sorded, the brad record shows their mignon on the constitutionality and matinee of the law. The Senate end the House at that time voted for it in tne latter body there being but seven votes recorded against it. George Washington was then. President Shall we. after seventy years have passed. deny to these men that intelligence which we now claim to Possess ? Who axe we in this day to say that wisdom has come to an that was unknown to our fathers? Who of OA in this Penate were willing to institute a comparison be tween ourrelve and the men of 1793? He. far one. would shrink from a comparison with such men as hotter Sharman and Oliver Ellsworth and their com peers. Was It an argument to be used that foreign na te. net were to be p eased by the passage of this bill in its original lot m ? That wet not en araument at any dine, and much , less at the present time. It was useless to att ut our el es to the fact that the great commercial nations of Eut ope have for years past been looking upon our coon try' with disfavor. The Senator says slavery was the cause. Does not slavery exist in ,he South, and have not sever , l of the fereign Powers indirectly aided the ea nth ie her unholy rebellion? The manner in which we bow been treated by preferaidly foreign neutral oo liernMelite in this struggle makes tits blood of every American citizen to boil in his veins. and will cause us at acme day to call fox a balancing of tee account, that it may be closed Mr. istIMIN all said he wished to secure the good opinion of our frienes abroxd, while the Senator seemed to be willing to repel it, Mr. FOISTIR was anxious for the good eninion of the world, but he was unwilling to crouch ass ceavel is the dust to secure it Be w. a not ambitions to be the mei.

The way to have the resp,ct of foreign ninon! was to respect ourselves Then we would lay broad and deep foundations for the crushing of this rebel lion, and compel the respect and admiration of the natter aof the earth. The truth was, that the principles of our Government were antagonistic en those upon which the Governments of the Old World were founded. ana they know it.

Mr BROWN contended that the amendment of the Senator from Ohio (Mr Sherman) makes tilts bill, as it non stands. tantamount to the act of 1793 It was a vir tual leiustatement of test act. so tar as this Senate could reinstate it. lie did not believe that it was the duty of Congress to pass any such act. It was not the duty of Congress to go beyond the plain letter of the Constitu tion. but to stand by that gnat bulwark of freedom Which, ecure• to all a trial eyi any. After seventy years of swiss ale for freedom we were now about to return to the pelt - t note which we started. Mr. WILLEY obtained the door.

The bill wee then passed. The Reconstruction Bill. The Hones resumed the consideration of the bill pro viding a republican form of government for the States usurped and overthrown by the rebellion Mr. NORTON. of Illinois. expressed his belief that we shall conquer the rebels by force of arms,and bring them into subjection to the laws. We shall come oat of this contest brighter and parer than ever before, and shall stand the model Republic of the world, constantly in creasing in greatness. wealth, and influence. While we are proposing to protect is the war with vigor, we are met at every point with oppoeition from the Democratic side, including the gentleman from New York (Fer nando Wood) who says this is "a hellieh war. a crusade commenced as d carried on without glory." The:President was charged with being an imbecile, a usurper. and a tyrant; and not only here, but in several of the Stater, they witnessed similar proceedings in the prosecution of the war Mot many days ago the gentle man from Maryland (Mr. Harris) declared himself in favor Of the enemy. In this he was guilty of moral treason. It might be said that he was only one member of the Democratic party, but he is still here. acting wifb. that party who voted against the resolution of expale(on, thus, in effect, endorsing his assertions in favor of the rebels. Re reviewed the recent speech of Mr. Long, of Ohio, 'who bed declared that this war, on our part, is wrong and maconetitutionel. If this were so, the war was right and constitutional on the part of the rebate. and his remark that the rebels have a right to succeed was a natural sequence of that gent), man's position. Notwirbetandirg all this. the Democrats here sue. brined the gentlemen by their votes. He could have said no more if lie bad been in the rebel Congress If we expect the mass of our per pie and our soldiers to re main loyal We must purge .hie hell of such disloyal and atroclens sentiments a here Is no neutrality, and men mutt be either patriots or traitors. Nothing else He never would let the rehellione States come back un less they knock at our doors with free Constitutions in their banks. Mr DAVIS, of Maryland, raid he intended to call the question on the bill next Wednesday. Mr BROOMAL b, of Pennsylvania. said we were celled to legislate upon things new in the history of the Republic, and which were not dreamed of by the fram ers of the Constitution, but to usurp powers we have not, Is only another mode of overturning the Govern ment: under the pretence of preserving It. There weds a d fference between insurrection and civil war, and the Present is of the latter character, and was occasioned by the refueal of the Democratic party to submit to the re sult of the Presidential election. without the shadow, of pretence that it was unfair; and while a portion of them have gone off to the rebels, the others In the loyal States keep up their organization If we yield we aban don the principles of our Government.

WALNI7I , BTERAT THEATRE The Star Corn bination (consisting of Messrs. Wallack and Davenport and Mrs. Farren) are now closing a very successful engagement here, and have the merit of playing effectively, under the disadvantage of being supported—no, of being unsupported—by a very inferior company. Mr. Wallack and Mr. Daven port are established favorites here, but Mrs. Ferran is not on cm equality with them, her style not having been improved in Western theatres. In such parts as Lucrezia Borgia (which she will play this evening), Mrs. Farren's force and intensity may be exhibited with effect ; in emotional characters, where softness and gentleness should predominate, her manner is too overpowering. This evening, the comedy of " Still Waters Run Deep " will also be played. The present " stars" end their engage; merit this week. NEW ARCH. STILEET THEATIrE.—Nr. Lester Wal lack's five act play of " Rosedale, or the Rifle Ball," which has already been represented one hundred and fifteen times In New York, bids fair to run at the Arch street Theatre as long as ever Mrs. Drew may pleale, for its success here has been unequivo cal, and almost unprecedented. It has been put upon the stage in a 00017 manner, and the miss en scene is at once oomplete and brilliant. The new scenery is worth looking at—for its own sake. The opening scene, representing the Manor House, with park and grounds, is a thorough work of art. It was painted by Mr. Hawthorne, The Starlit Dell, in which the moat striking incident of the drama occurs, is also a gem; it was painted by Messrs. Hawthorne and R. S. Smith. The litall•room scene is also very beautiful. We saw this play, at Wallach's Theatre, soon after it was first produced there, and think that it is better put upon the stage by Mrs. Drew than by the actor-author. "Rose dale," if critically examined, contains but few new incidents, but yet is a striking and effective play. Mr. Lester Wallack, with his ability and experience, knew what would hit the public taste. The action never flags, the dialogue is never ver bose, and the eurprisea in the incidents are start ling. It is well played here. If Mrs. Drew had been "measured" for a part, she could not have been provided with a better one, as fer as it goes, than that of .Rosp , Leigh. To represent a thorough gentlewoman is as natural to Mrs. Drew as to repretent an Emeralder is to Barney Williams. The hero, Elliot Gray, is well played by Mr. Barton Hill. At Wisilsok's, the small character; of Sarah Sykes, a maid-of-all work, was made a great part by Mrs. John Sefton (if we recollect correctly), and here is played respect. ably by Miss J. Henry. In the part of Bunberry Kolb (played by Mr. George Holland, at Wallaok's), a great hit was made by that very clever young ce. median, Mr. Stuart Robson. Him mere make up may be characterized as artistical. As the theatre is not only crowded, but literally *rammed every night, "Rosedale" will be repeated until further notice. THE GERMAN OPERA. —{. Faust" has gained a popularity in America which the best operas of gley erb€ er have not surpassed, and we are not sur prised that the Cheatnuistreet Theatre was crowded to even discomfort last evening. The performance was in general a very good one, and the fatuous grand march and choruses of the soldiers, in the fourth act, were heard with new pleasure. Dirg. feld's Band played the march grandly, but the Whole passage would have been a better success with a stronger mccnnerchor. Surely the composer did not intend that his chorus, however difficult, should be sung so feebly. The Gretchen of Madame Freda. rici was an admirable picture and an Lapps. dative performance, and we cannot Bay less. .of Heir Dimmer's Pam!, which was given with much good taste and spirit, albeit some of the beautica of the music were lost in the heaviness of his voice. We should have preferred a good tenor in the role of Siebel , but the public lost nothing in bearing so line an artiste as Madame Johannsen. Not least must we give credit to Ms. Graff for his intelligent Mephistophiles. "Faust," we are glad to hear, will be repeated on Friday evening, and the hut dreds who could'not find seats in the theatre last night have an opportunity of hearing it to better advantage. The German Opera has rarely given us a performance so welcome. To-night, "Dec Frei solautz,!, which for *thousand reasons must always be popular, will be given with a superior cast. TERESA CAREEkIO'I3 first concert in Philadelphia, to be given this evening at the Musical Fund Hall, Is of unusual musical interest ; for this little girl, but ten years old, la, in the judgment of many of the tu at of living critics, almost unexcelled as a pianist. In New York and Havana she was not successful as a prodigy but as an artist, and has not been compli mented by praise half so much a. criticism. The delndante will no doubt have an appreciative audi ence, and full opportunity to display her wonderful genius. She will be assisted by Miss Jennie Kemp. ton, Mr. Farley, Mr. Draper, and other well-known artists- Tun auTonirreaste.—The far-famed Hutchinson Family will give a concert on Saturday evening, at Concert Hall. It will doubtless attract a large au- dience, for the singing of the flutchinson's always attracts and pleases. FATHER BURRIS' OLD CONTINENTAL TROUPE will give a concert this evening, at Shalom. otreet Hall. The performers will appear in the antique costume of Revolutionary times, and givesome good old tunes in the style of Father Kemp'. Old Folk.. A portion of thi proceeds are intended for the beno• fit of the United Staten colored troops, THE CITY. [FOR ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS, SEE FOURTH PAGE.] Tam GREAT SANITARY FAIR.-4. meet ing of the committees on the various departments of exhibition here was held at the Board of Trade room. last evening. Mr. John Welsh was in the chair. The Committee on Agriculture desired an acre of grousd for its apportionment. Delaware and New Jersey will contribute largely to the Fair. An acre will be needed for the exhibition of agricultural pro- duce. The committee want Elghteenthestreet side, from Summer to Viue, to be covered. The chairman or the Committee on Architectural Designs desired a portion of the fine.art gallery. They want 300 feet of wall surface for the display of drawings. The chairman of the Committerion Arms and Tro phies suggested the consolidation of three depart ments, viz: arms and trophies, military goods, and them ma. The three united will require from 2,000 to 2,000 feet. Toe Committee on General Arrangements re ported the projected plan of the buildings. There will be eight, of two hundred feet long, of which six ate alrecdy framed, two are covered in, four are Rooted, and two nearly !Li:Birthed. The building on Mace street will be 500 feet long. The plan for the art gallery has also been definitely determined upon, and will be udder way in the course of a few days. The main building is to be fifty feet high at the centre, and composed of a Gothic arch 500 feet long. ' A million feet of lumber will be used in the buildings. The walls will be divided into sections of twelve feet by windows. The booksellers ask for 400 feet of room. The builders will want for their model 3 ; 400 feet. The cabinetmakers ask the same amoun of space; so, also, the wholesale dry goods trade. The Committee on Correspondence reported an interview with the committee of New Jersey, who promised ce-operation in all things connected with the fair. Mr. Gibbons reported from Delaware that the Commission there was well organized. Repents from various other committees were re ceived, The work is progressing well, The sum of $36,000 in money has already been subscribed. The picture gallery will contain eight thousand surface feet. The florist, and horticulturists will make a better display than has ever been seen. A. large amount ea money will be here expended, and a sepa rate department be made of it. Mr. rdiskey (Gas Fixtures) said that theretwere no manufacturers except in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. Those in Philadelphia were united in the woi le, and New York would doubtless penis'. pate. The gas litters were. joining them in laying the pipe to illuminate the Fair. The harness dealers will make abetter display than they did in New York. The meeting then adjourned. PREBENTATION AT THJI QUAKER CITY COLVEGH.—Mr. L, Fairbanks, principal of the Quaker City Business College, at Lentil and %Melt /nit streets, was the recipient of a beautiful gold hunting-case watch, last evening, from the stuthmts of his college. A large number of ladies and gentle , men were present. The introductory remarks were made by Mr. G. Samuels. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted :- 71'1"1-tree, Luring our connection: with the Q.eaker City 1313 blne2B College we have ever found the P , pet. Mr. L.

Three teachers of the school were also presented with slight mementoes by the students as tokens of their esteem. The recipients gratefully acknow ledged them. DICSTEUCTIVE FIRE—LOSS $100,000.—& destructive fire broke out between three and four o'clock. yesterday afternoon, at - the soap and candle manufactory of Messrs. Thain & McKeon, south east corner of Twenty-third and Hamilton streets. The building is a large three-story , brick one, and front' en both of the above street,. The fire origi nated by the boiling over of the fat in one of the rate. The flames communicated to the wood work, and soon the whole building was on fire. All efforts to subdue the flames by the firemen were useless. The greasy substances, such as soap, and candles, caused them to be unextinguisheible. The fire burned rigidly for several hours, and landed only in the destruction of the whole.bdilding. Toe firemen prevented the surrounding property from being de• stroyed. Over four thousand barrels of soap were destroyed, as well as all the raw material in the building. The whole loss is estimated at $lOO,OOO, mud is insured to the amount of $BO,OOO. This same firm suffered the total lose of another factory by fire several years ago. PICKPOCKETS. —A gentleman, arrived at the Reading depot lace evening, took a car on thc Thirteenth• street line, and had his pocket picked of five hundred dollars in greenbacks, and a note for 83.000. The authorities are not likely to dis cover the thief.

TELE LONDON Triags.—We were ammo the "big pond " lately, and, while in London, we dropped in at the Times °Mae. We were politely shown through the concern ; and, when about leaving, we said to the gentlemanly conductor, who had taken urn through the establishment, '• Can you let us see Jupiter?" " The Head Thunderer," he answered, solemnly, "la invisible. He is to be communicated with only by writing, for he is at present engaged inditing a first class notice of the magnificent wear ing apparel made at the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rochhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut greet, above Sixth, Philadelphia." ANOTHER REASON WHY THE STATE CAPITAL should be removed from Harrisburg to Philadelphia is, because it would give members of both branches of the Legislature, as well as the co-ordinate de pattments of the State Government, daily, and, if necessary, hourly, communication with the Pala tial Clothing Establishment of Granville Stokes, the great Fashioner and Clothier, No. 609 Chestnut street. ALTHOUGH the word "ovation" Nemo derived from the Latin ovum, an egg, we hardly suppose that a mob pelting a poor fel:ow with egg, can properly be said to give him an ovation. Ensactly ro, Wag, and only such "fellows" get such ovations who neglect to buy their Spring Clothing of Charles Stint% a ic Co., under the Continental. PINE COLLECTION OP ITALIAN.
