Fite Fuss. FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 18134.. Sir We can take no notice of anonymous commm isteations. We do not return rejected manuscripts. Sir Voluntary eorrespondenee is solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will .be paid for. The Grade of Colored Troops. We have repeatedly insisted upon the un just treatment the colored troops in the ser vice of the Union have received. We again insist upon it, because it is not a subject that can be neglected without serious injury to our armies. It is useless now to argue of the propriety of employing black regiments, or to present proof of their bravery and value. These questions are settled. We presume there are now over fifty thousand colored soldiers in our armies, of whom the greater number were enlisted in the North. It is evident that the just claims of so large a body of men cannot be wisely neglected, leaving the higher principles of right en tirely out of the question. The pay of a colored soldier is but ten dollars a month. For this sun. he is ex pected to do precisely the work which a white soldier performs at thirteen dollars. He wears the uniform of a white soldier, fights with him under one flag, and defends one cause. Except in pay and rank, there is no distinction made between a white regiment and a black one. But it is noto rious that the dangers which confront the colored volunteer are unusual and extraor dinary. By the legislation of the rebel Congress be is forbidden to hope for liberty by any cartel of exchange if captured, and by barbaric precedents is almost certain of a clue death if the fortunes of war should give his life into the bands of his enemies. The colored man is, therefore, discouraged from enlisting by the assurance that his risk will be far greater, his reward something less, than that of a white volunteer. Nor does the evil end here. The blacks in our army are outlawed by the enemy, and treated as inferiors by our own Govern ment, which thus affords some pretext, at least, to the rebel argument. It should be clearly understood, at this point, that the absolute difference between the colored and the white races has nothing to do with the distinction between the two classes of troops. The average black man may be, in capacity and in condition, vastly the inferi or of the average white man, but as a fight ing soldier he may still be his equal. Nay, we may even admit that he is decidedly in ferior as a soldier, without weakening an argument which is based not upon relative differences but upon positive principles. We all agree that the black regiments fight well, that they obey orders, that they are inspired with a pure love of the country, and a deadly hate of the rebellion. These absolute equalities admitted, it ought to be evident that, from a military point of view, there is no reason why colored soldiers should be considered an inferior branch of the army. But, so omg as they are paid less than the average rates, they are neces sarily in the position of inferiors, and must s , bitterly feel the disproportion between their dangers, their servicea, and their military grade. We do not suppose a case. The fact is established that the free black men enlisted in the Northern States are not satisfied with their treatment. The 54th Massachu - etts Regiment is, we believe, the first raised in the North, and was organized in the spring of 1563, by the authority of the Secretary of War. Its members enlisted - with the expectation of receiving the ordi nary pay. They have never been offered more than $lO per month, and this they have steadily refused. Not a man of them has received one cent for the great service they have rendered; for to maintain , a principle they have been willing to sacrifice their entire pay. It is clear that these men do not quarrel with the Government about a paltry pittance of three dollars more or less ; they merely refuse to be underpaid ; and we ask every candid man if thirteen dollars a month is too much for the men who followed Colonel SHAW through deadly fire over the walls of Fort Wagner ; or, if it is improper for such heroes, nameless and obscuie though they be, to stand on their dignity with the great Government of the - United States ? Nor have they resisted the United States paymaster alone. Massachusetts offered to make good the deficiency in pay, and they refused upon the ground that they wanted no generosity from a State, but only justice from the country. This is not false pride. 'The 54th Massachusetts fights as well with out pay as it could with it. At Olustee, it -covered the retreat of the army, and djd it 'well, opposing the enemy with fixed bayo nets after its ammunition was exhausted. It will fight as well hereafter. Evidently, though the colored regiments are dissatisfied with their inferior position, they are not dissatisfied with the war and the great cause they defend. In the consideration of this question the future must not be forgotten. Black regi ments must inevitably form a large part of the standing army which, even after the war is ended, the nation will be forced to main tain. British Politica. A few days ago we speculated upon the improbability of the Palmerston Adminis tration being broken up by any hostile ac tion on the part of the Tory Opposition. Later news from England confirms our be: lief. -We have already glanced at the par tial reconstruction of the Ministry, arising out of the retirement of the Duke of New castle from the Colonial Secretaryship, but this, though it places such an experienced statesman as the Earl of Clarendon in the Cabinet, is of inferior importance, when compared with the successful results of Mr. GianstroxE's financial management. Mr. GLADSTONE is a man of great ability, but with such an unconqueranle frailty of temper that his colleagues, who just tole rate him, as an equal, for his talents, would never submit to act as subordinates. In the languege of the road, he is a _tolerable wheeler, but try him as a leader, and he -would be sure to take the bit between his teeth, and hurry on, out of the track, into all sorts of dangerous ways and bye-ways. There is such a traditionary dislike among British politicians to the leadership of any person except he be connected in blood with the aristocracy that, In the last one hundred and fifty years, (precisely the period that the present royal family have been uvon the British throne,) only four men, unconnected with the nobility, have occupied the posi tion of Prime Minister. These are EosERT WALPOLE, .son of a Norfolk squire, and finally Earl of (iord; .HENRY ADDINGTON, .(afterwards Viscount idmouth) son of a country doctor; GEORGE CANNING, whose father was a briefiess barristm: and his mo ther an actress; and RurtenT Pant, son of a cotton spinner, but rising with one foot on the ladder of aristocracy, as he succeeded to a baronetcy. WILLI .st PITT and his son -sere also Premiers—but the first was ne phew of an Irish earl, and grandson of Thomas PITT, Governor of Madras, who brought the famous Pitt diamond from India, and sold-it to the King of France for $075,000, Onertrats Loam Fox and SPEW curt PEnciver. also were Prime Ministers— but Fox's father was Lord HOLLAND, and PERCIVAL was the Earl of' Egmont's second eon_ WALPOLE was twenty-three years at the head of affairs, ADDINGTON less than three, CANNING only four months, and PEEL six years. That is, in the last one hundred and fifty years, England has been ruled du ring only thirty-two years by men directly sprung from the people. Mr. GLADSTONE, then, as the roof a merchant, who rose to wealth from the humbleat position, would :have some difficulty as Premier, if ever-ap pointed to that position. His captious tem per would seem to increase that difficulty. fow different were Cramiso's gram and PEEL'S studied politeness, (even to his op ponents,) and is the apparently natural bon homie of pleasant PALMERSTON! CLADSTONeti financial success is the bower anchor of the Palmerston Adenizda _ Mt:on Reduced taxation in /Mt yet a diminished expenditure of $5,000,000 during the last twelvemonth—an actual surplus now of more than $11,150,000, and an esti mated furthur surplus of $12,500,000 for the year 1884. This to be followed by reduced taxation ; the duty on income, corn, and sugar to be diminished, and the much complained-of duty on insurance (which is a tax upon prudence) also to be cut down. When the Financial Minister has such Budget as this, depend on it that it will not be easy to overthrow the' Government. As to the recent changes in the Palmer ston Cabinet, they are as follow : 11l health has compelled the Duke of Newcastle to resign the Colonial Secretaryship. This nobleman, who accompanied the Prince of Wales in his visit to this country in 1860, was then so deeply impressed with the greatness and resources of the United States that he told the writer of these lines that he was confident the Prince, if he bad a voice in the determination, never could sanction any British action inimical to this country, which had so nobly wel comed and treated him. The new Colonial Secretary is Mr. EDWARD CARDWELL, whose father was a wealthy merchant in Liverpool. Mr. CARDWELL is fifty-one years old, took a "double first-class" de gree at Oxford, (like PEEL and GLAD STONE,) held office under PEEL for eighteen months, was one of Lord ABERDEEN'S Cabinet, became Secretary for Ireland in June, 1859, held that office for over two years, and has lately been in PALMERSTON'S Cabinet, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, an almost sinecure office. He it was who, in July, 1857, was the success ful opponent of Mr. THACKER - AT for the representation of the city of Oxford. He is a man of considerable administrative power, a fluent speaker, and has never committed himself, in or out of Parliament, by a word of hostility to the great Union cause of this country. The Earl of Clarendon, now sixty-four years old, takes the office vacated by Mr. CARDWELL'S promotion. He is elder brother of Mr. C. P. VILLIERS, also one of the Palmerston Cabinet. Lord CLAEEE non., a man of great ability and judgment, has successively been a Custom-house offi cer in Ireland, Ambassador to Madrid, a member of the Melbourne Cabinet, Presi dent of the Board of Trade during Rus- SELL'S reign, Viceroy of Ireland during and after the O'BRIEN and MEAGHER manifesta tions, Foreign Secretary in Lord ABER DEEN'S Cabinet, and also in Lord PAL: MERSTON'S, and declined office, still under PALMERSTON, when offered .it in 1859. Lord CLARENDON is friendly to this country. I Placing CARDWELL in a position where his great business ability can come into play, and also introducing CLARENDON into the Palmerston Cabinet, must be felt as a heavy blow to the Tory opposition and makes the prospect of breaking up the present Gov.ern ment far more difficult than it previously had been. Tnn HOUSE seems to be hard at work with the tax bill. It could not be better em ployed. The system of internal revenue which it is asked to establish will produce, it is estimated, two hundreds of millions of dollars ; as amended it will probably produce something less. There never yet was a tax bill, we believe, which passed through Congress without being shorn of a part of its efficiency ; and the present bill, which is intended to produce an unusually large revenue to meet extraordinary ex penses, must necessarily be resisted by many interests. Those who are enamored of "the charms of cheap whisky," a phrase which we owe to Mr. GRINN FCLL, will rejoice in the strenuous efforts that are made in the behalf of the distilleries, Whisky should be fairly taxed. The demand for it was never so great as now, and the manu facture is well able to yield a heavy per tentage. Every important section of the bill will meet with decided opposition in its turn ; but we trust the House will be firm, and frame a thorough system, which will reduce the difference between revenue and expenses to an approximation of economy. Its duty is clear. A. heavy burden must be placed upon the country for its own good. The light taxes we now pay are out of all proportion to our ability. THE COMMITTEE OF DEFENCE AND PRO TECTION, in Select Council, have furnished a very interesting report in regard to the quota of Philadelphia, and we are glad to say that the gentlemen entrusted with the examination of the subject appear to have done their work well. The quota, under all calls of 1863 and 1864, is reduced to 19,083. Though it is believed that the city has fur nished more than this number of men, it is stated that the possibility of a draft yet exists. Certain wards have furnished an excess of their quotas ; others are deficient. The committee very justly suggest that the transfer of the excesses to the credit of the deficient wards will prevent a draft, and we trust it is not necessary to urge such action upon the ward bounty committees. MILK FROM "OCCASIONAL" WasnrsaTori, April 21,1864, One of those opportunities rarely pre sented to parties is now presented to the " Democratic " leaders. I allude to the bill or joint resolution providing for the amendment of the Federal Constitution, by which slavery shall be forever abolished in the United States. It has passed the Senate by the requisite majority of two-thirds, and is now on the Speaker's table in the House of Representa tives. The vote on the passage of this bill in the senate was a marked one. Bight Senators, most of - whom have voted with the Democratic party for years, and all of whom have acted with the South in former conflicts, gave the measure an earnest sup port, These are John Conness of California, Wm. Sprague of Rhode Island, John B. Henderson of Missouri, Reverdy Johnson of 'Maryland, J. W. Nesmith and B. F. Harding of Oregon, and P. G. Van Winkle and W. T. Wiley of West Virginia. To show how effective these votes were in securing the necessary two-thirds in the Senate, I will repeat the yeas and nays on the final passage of the joint resolution, on Friday, the Bth of April Ati—Measrs, Anthony, Brown, Chandler, Clark, CoHamer, Colman', Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle, Fee. ser,den, Foot, Footer, Grimes, Hale, Harding, Han lan, Barris, Henderson, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Lane (Indiana), Lane (h.ansas), iaorgan, rdorri:;, Nesmith, Pomeroy, ParamaY' Sherman Sprague, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Tan Winkle, Wade, Wilkinson, Willey, Wilson--3s. NAYS—Menrs. Davis, Hendricks, McDougall, Powell, Riddle, Saulsbury-6. As it required two-thirds of a fiall Senate, including the seceded States, these eight votes - withheld or thrown among the nays would have defeated the proposition. I have already referred to the splendid argu ment of Reverdy Johnson on this subject. What Senator Willey said, and what John Conness said, was not less decided. Sena tor Henderson, a leading Douglas Demo crat in his State, in his speech made some very valuable observations. Read, for in 2tance, the following: "It is sometimes said the -Republican party is dead, and the Democracy can restore peace to the country by bringing back the old regims. As an or ganization the Republican party may be dead, but ihe principle of antislavery is not dead. A deep conviction of the injustice and in/policy of slavery yet lives. The conviction now stronger than ever. It has been made so by the many erimee recently committed in the name of the institution. In my, tonest judgment, Mr. President, slavery and, rebel lion, by the nation of parties, by the ormrse of event& wideh none of us can now control, have become so closely and intimately allied that they must share the same fate. If the rebellion succeeds, slavery for many years may be g cherished institution in the math. lilt fails, the rebels; themselves will be 'mind too honorable to saes its continuance. If my position, thee, be correct, the following propositions are true : first, slavery, being detrimental to public and private interests, antirepublican in its tendon eke, and subversive of good government, should now be abolished; second, the Constitution, as it now stand., confers upon Congress no power to abolish it; and third, to attain the ends which are so omen OM to the establishment and maintenance' of peace, a change in the Constitution, the peaceful and ef fective Made Of governmental reform wisely pro. vided by our ancestors for throwing oft snail evils as new Millet us, mid for utilizing the experience of history as developed in national progress, should at Once be Made. . _ " Our ancestors acknowledged the truth when they proclaimed the inalienable right of liberty note alt men. That declaration gave them liberty. - It tired the world, and enlisted the sympathies of civiliza tion. So soon as they obtained it for themselves, however, the fake counsels of expediency came to tame it to others. When the test of practical go• vernment was to be applied, they Were content to declare in the preamble of the 00netnittiOn one of _ - Ite objects to be ito secure the blessings of libertyp to themselves and their posterity. In the body of the instrument the liberty of the African is not se cured. His return to slavery is enjoined. Io this contradiction is the element of strife. Truth and error 'cannot be reconciled. Right and wrong can not dwell together in peace. The effort to reconcile antagonisms was vain. It ,first brought political convulsion.; it then brought war. In the kingdom of nature volcanic disturbances follow the union of fire and combustible material. From IreflOUS causes the disturbances may be unfelt for many years, but eventually they return, and cease not till the mate rial consumed. This thing of slavery is a heresy. The lire of truth is upon it, and the moral world will be convulsed until it is consumed. The strong desire for peace may induce some new concession in its favor. This might smother the dames for a few years. Such peace would not be permanent. In Process 01 time Our cities would again be blasted by its uph burning lava." eavbell our fields again scorched by its But if the eight Senators named threw their great weight on the side of Liberty, look at the others, who are classed as Re publicans, and who voted with them. Here in honest Democrats may see, as in a mir ror, the faithful reflection of their own honest and too often suppressed feelings, and the encouragement to follow these feel ings for the sake of the country. Gratz Brown, James R. Doolittle, Jas. H. Lane, Lot M. Morrill, gave many of the beet years of their lives to the Democratic party, and Vice President Hamlin, who does not vote unless his vote is necessary to de cide a question, severed his connection with the Democratic organization only a few months before Mr. Buchanan's nomination for President. Note, also, that the Sena tors from Kentucky and Delaware give the only votes from slave States against the amendment, and that but two from the free States follow their example. These are very significant indications. Let us now see how they will ope rate upon the Democrats in the House, - where the joint resolution to abolish slavery in the Way pointed out by the Constitution is now pending. If an equal proportion of Democrats in that body will do as the ma jority of the Democrats of the Senate did on the Bth instant, the work is more than half accomplished. All that remains to make it thorough and complete is for the Legislatures of three fourths of the States to ratify . what Congress has done. SO you see this great measure of tranquil lity—this drastic remedy for a disease that has corrupted our whole system, and brought the Republic almost to its death—is at the dispositson, of the Demo crats of the House. If a sufficient num ber of these Representatives vote for it, the Legislatures of the States will naturally confirm s the action of Congress. Even now we can count two-thirds of these Legisla tures on the right side ; and, if the patriotic Democrats give us their aid, the necessary three-fourths will be surely secured. The arguments operating on such minds should be irresistible. We have been told that there is no right to abolish slavery under the war power, or under the legislative power. We have been reminded that the exercise of these powers was a violatiim of the Consti tution. Such has been, and still is, the logic of the Democratic press and the Democratic leaders. A constitutional plan is now pre sented. Will it receive the support of these champions of the Constitution ? Should it prevail, the agitation of the slavery question will die out—it may be gradually, but per manently and forever. The amendment of the Federal Constitution, recommended by the Senate, and now before the House, has been supported by some of the leading Op position papers of the country, among them the New York Herald itself. It is for the truly loyal men of the old Democracy to encourage their Representa tives in the House to do right on this ques tion. There are, I believe, a number of Democrats in the body who would gladly give the amendment their support, if they felt that they could be sustained by the home politicians. Why, then, should they not be allowed to obey the dictates of their consciences ? OccAsioNAL. WASHINGTON Waxiinneurerr, April 21, leig. The Telegraph to Russia. The efforts of Mr. Coradars to enlist members of Congress and other prominent parties in his great enterprise of a telegraphic connection between Eu rope and America, are, we understand, meeting with encouraging succegs. This subject has previously received the attention of Congress, in which body, it will be recollected, two very favorable reports were made three years ago, one by Senator Le- TEAM, of California, the other by Mr. JOHN COOK. RANE, of New York. Since the date of those reports Mr. Corr.rus has spent a large portion of the intervening time in pushing his enterprise, mainly in Europe, where he has succeeded in not only interesting a considerable portion of the mercantile community in his project, but in enlisting the patronage of Governments also. The fact of the valuable concessions made to him by England and Russia, of the right of way through their dominions in the northwestern portion of this continent, has already been made public. These concessions are valuable as indicating the favor with which the enterprise is looked upon in other countries. They are valuable, also, in another point of view, for they offer such inducements to Capital ists as will, it is believed, insure the speedy comple tion of the overland line to St. Petersburg and London with a very moderate degree of encourage ment from the United States Government. The enterprise of Mr. CoLiana is thoroughly American in conception, and is to be owned and con• trolled by American capital. For these reasons alone, therefore, it would seem to have peculiar claims upon the attention of the American public, as well as upon the favor of the Government. A large portion of the Russian line, with which the wires of Mr. Commis are to connect, is already finished, and the work is now being rapidly pushed on at both ends, namely, from Irkoutsh, in Eastern Siberia, to which point the wires are already work ing from St. Petersburg, a distance of four thousand miles, and from the Amoor westwardly to meet the Siberian wires. The parties who have undertaken the construe. tlon of Mr. COLLINS' portion of the line, that is, the connecting link between Europe and America, via Beltring , s straits, are gentlemen of experience in telegraph matters. It was their enterprise which, taking hold of the Pacific line at a time when all other men shrunk from it, and, enlisting the sym pathies of the Government in its behalf, carried it through to a succenful ending, in spite of the warn ings of friends as well as eapitaliats to let it alone. The fact that these eminently practical as well as energetic individuals have _ put their shoulders to the enterprise of Mr. COLLINS, is an assurance that thr project will eventually be accomplished. Bat as the work le eminently national in its scope, and as, moreover, much time must necessarily be consumed in its conatiuolion before any returns can be made for the vast outlays its proprietors muss submit to, it would seem that Government ought to and in the enterprise a case eminently worthy of its fostering pstionage. The small subsidy allowed the line to the Pacific has, we are told, been paid back, over and over again, every year, through the facilities of the line enjoyed by Government in its correspon dence with its Pacific posts. Similar facilities, only quadrupled in value, will be the result of the com pletion of the Russa&merioan line. To all undertakings of this nature, to Viet in its proportiona l and so tall of promise to the welfare and progress of the country, Government will but Dhow a prudent regard to the future, as well as a generous Spirit, in extending a helping hand. Rus sia and Great Britain, in granting the right of way through their territories, beside according other valuable privileges, for the purpose of encouraging the enterprise, have therein set an example which our Government, it is to be hoped, will not hesitate to follow. Grant, Stanton, and nalleck. A distinguished officer writes as fellows: "I am not surprised that thinking men begin to regret the loss of General neznlconks diraetien of military operations. I have, however, great conadence in General GRANT. He is a true man, an honest mot. dier, possesses excellent judgment, and has great tenacity of purpose. His coming campaign in Vir ginie, lam satisfied, will add to his laurels. The absurd newspaper stories of dtaagreement between STANTON, and Ham.sorr, are all bosh, and have not even the slightest foundation of truth. The very best feeling subsists between all three. Her.a.aex, a sincere patriot, has not a jealous thought or feeling in his nature. He cares too little for public opinion to be envious of any favorite, and he aids ()RANT in every way in his power, both by his untiring industry in carrying out all details and his military and administrative talents. No efforts on the part of any press can shake the perfect accord and mutual esteem of these two officers. H.a.rt.eorr, you know, while in command, gave GRANT very Substantial proofs of friendship, and these have not been forgotten. As to STANTON, I do not have such good opportunitiee for speaking from personal knowledge, but I have the highest reason to believe that he stands to GRANT as HAL LIM does, in just the same relations of friendship, assistance, and esteem." A Protest from General Butler. General BUTLan is said to have written a brisk letter to a prominent administrative officer, winch he sonclUdea as follows: "If the arrangement pro. posed be carried out, it would have the erect of waking me a mere recording secretary for the will of Major General W. F. Smivr, who would be the reel cummander To tide I cannot submit. The office of civil mayor of Old Point Comfort Mad the sort of service for which I was mustered in.

The city has already granted and paid into the treasury $9.0.000 in cash for the same noble object. Itis hoped that these munificent gifts will furnish an example worthy of emulation by other counties and cities in the country, and stimulate individuals, corporations. and firms to render the success of the Fair still more signal.

The Rebels ItepcErted about to Positive information has been received at head quarters that the main body of Longstreet's veka rang have succeeded in effecting a junction with Lee. Longstreet carried to East Tennessee 18,00 Men, but returned with len than 12,000. Semite just returned from within the enemy's line report that troops from Joe Johnston's army and from Charles. ton are arriving at Gordonsville. Rebel conscripts are coming in at the rate of a thousand a day. Some days sines seven days , rations were issued to Lee's army, and it was currently believed in the army that be intended to commence a forward move• ment. This deserter states that*the rebels stake everything on the next light between Lee and Grant. The spirits of the men are kept up in anticipation of gaining a victory this spring. THE CAMPAIGN ABOUT TO BE OPENED. .WABIEIMIGTOA, April 21.—General Grant left for the front this morning, attended by a large party' of officers. It is understood that the campaign is now to be commenced. We have indications that the rebels are massing a large force is Virginia, and that the , diversions in 'Kentucky and elsewhere are only in tended to cover the concentration of rebel forces aa ain't Grant. LONGSTREET AT ORANGE COURT-HOUSE. WASHINGTON, April 21.—The following informa tion was received from the Army of the Potomac to-night Five deserters from the 48th Virginia came into our lines yesterday. They positively assert that Longetreeni army is at Orange Court-House, and that Lee's entire force is not more than 46,000 to 00,000 strong. The rebels are very vigilant, and have strictly forbidden their pickets to hold com• munication with our own. A deserter from the 46th North Carolina also came in yesterday. Re claims to be a good Union man, and says he was conscripted three weeks agO, and, being put on picket yesterday for the first time, made up his mind to desert, and swam the river during the night. The artillery of the 2d Corps was reviewed yes terday by General HancOok, a number of officers being present es spectators. A soldier named• Riley, of Company A, Ist Con• necticut Cavalry, while on picket near Grove Church, was captured by guerillas on Tuesday. Pur suit was made, but without avail. Upwards of Ifiee sick bave been lent to Wait ington during the put two days. Governor Curtin at Washington—Railroad HARRISBIIRG, April 21.--Governor Curtin went to Washington this morning, to endeavor to get Congress to make an appropriation for the payment of the State militia for their servlees in 1862. Last night, at half past seven o'clock, a passen ger train on the Lebanon Valley Railroad had an accident at the junction of the North Lebanon road, in consequence of the malicious shifting of a switch. The locomotive "Venus" was broken up; the bag gage and one passenger ear were thrown off the track. The engineer, Thomas Gabriel, was badly scalded. No one else was injured, though the par imagers were greatly alarmed. Gen. Sickles at Chicago. Crlxosoo, April 21.—Gen. Dan Sickles and staff arrived last r ight, and visited the Board of Trade today. Be also had a reception at the Tremont this afternoon, and addressed a large concourse of citizens at Bryan Ball this evening.

On the reception of Gen. Banks' de spatch the fleet turned bank, and on the way down was attaoked by large numbers of the enemy on both sides of the river, who attempted to capture the transports.

Mr. Greeley's Case. From the Sew York World. kora 21 3 In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday morning, the proceedings Game up growing out of the order issued by Judge Barnard on last Friday, rfquiring Horace Greeley to show cause why he shown not be punished for contempt of court in publishing an article beaded "A Judicial Outrage." in which a " bide and malicious" report is given corcerning the withdrawal of a juror in the Nixon suit. The courtroom was crowded. Judge Barnard called up the base, and inquired what disposition would be made of it. District At. lurneY A Oakley Eiall then tead the return of Sheriff' Lynch, certifying to the fact that the order was served on Mr. Greeley. The clerk of the court then called " Horace Gree ley." Mr. J. T. Williams, Mr. Greeleyas counsel, rose, and moved to set aside the motion, objecting, as fol lows, to the jurisdiction obtained in the case: I have waft inquiries, and do not fled that any affidavit was made showing that Mr. Greeley was either the editor or proprietor of the - paper called the Tribune, nor do I Nee any affidavit at all; and there are some points of the case which I think quite as material, but which I presume my learned mend, the District Attorney, will not think the court could take judicial notice of. I submit to your Honor bow far it may be competent for the court to take proceedings for punishment of a contempt of court. It is not a case in which the matter oc curred in presence of the court, and which could be taken jndicial notice of under that theory. The court also could certainly not take judicial notice that any person was the editor and proprietor of the New York Tribune. I think it right, your Honor, to moat respectfully submit these points concerning the order of the court, as in this as in any other order based upon insufficient affidavits or no affida. vita at all, I suppose I could move to discharge this order. If this were a civil proceeding it would be quite proper to set aside the order for insufficient affidavits. If it were a espies, order for attachment or arrest, it might be set aside for want of sufficient aiidavlts; but here Is a case where there are, so far as I am informed, no affidavits touching either of the facts which are recited in the order. An order was given in accordance with' a decision by Judge Barnard, that interrogatories be flied and propounded to Horace Greeley, and that he be di. rented to return hie dowers on Monday next. Thus or der does not require the premence of Mr. Greeley in court on Monday. A Montrmarvr AT Vicsenuno.—General Lorenzo Thomas has arranged a new visit to Vickiburg, in Connection with Major General McPherson, to erect a monument to General Grant, in commemoration of the siege of Vicksburg. The monument is a layramid, twenty feet high, surmounted with a tlf- Men•inch globe. On the principal side is a large ' American eagle, with out spread wings, which cover implements of defence; in one claw It holds the laurel, and In the other an American shield. and in its ?beak a pennant, inscribed, " E Phantom 'Ciium." The eagle sustains on its Wings the Goddess of Li. berty. On one side of the monument is inscribed, "To the Memory of the Surrender of Vicksburg, by Lieutenant General J. C. Pemberton, to Major General U. S. Grant, U. S. A., on the 4th of July, 1863." On the other side, " Site of the interview between Major General U. S. Grant, U. S. A , and Lieutenant General S. 0. Pemberton, on the 3d of July, 1863." The monument was chiseled from the best Italian marble, by the designer, rdendelin Meyer, first lieutenant Company E, lit Missouri Artillery, lit Division of the 17th Army Corps. THE Southern rebels, as well as some folks in the North, are fond of shaking their heads in view of Lieutenant Genera) Grant's approaching campaign in !Virginia, with the remark that though Grant has heretofore been successful in beating the robe• general., he has never yet encountered GeneraZ Leet That is true enough. But do these people ever think that. if it be true that Grant has never fought Lee, it is equally true that Lee has never met Grant ? Public Entertainments. TEN Granule OPERA.—" Der Freischutz,” given last evening, with Madame Frederici and belmann in the principal characters, vise wilanued by a hill house, and with the approbation which this favorite and admirable opera is always cure to call forth. Madame Frederica was a very °apron dive Agathe, and the Antichen of that pretty and petite young lady, Fraulein *Demists, was full of vi vacity. Habelmann sang with excellent power and sweetness, and the chorus could not be otherwise than good in the well-known hunting song. The hundreds who were unable to obtain seat/ on Wednesday may hear "Faust" to-night, by the ex ertion of a little enterprise. Mr. Himmer in this opera clogs with an earnettnees and power which we cannot too highly commend, and Madame Frede riot Ends in it one of her greatest successes. To the scenic and dramatic effects of "Faust" much of its remarkable popularity is due, for ft in a fact that that opera obtains the more general admiration which can also be enjoyed as a play. The merely musical interest of " Eidelio" has always interfered with Be popular swam; not that Beethoven did not thoroughly develop the dramatie element of the story, for such an idea the gravedigging duet and the prisoners', choruses would deny, but that he could not descend to those Woks of the trade which Neyerbeer and Gounod so frequently employ. "Faust," however, Is not a superfleial work. Be. cause music is popular it does not always follow that it is meretricious. TERESA OAREBNO'I3 first grand concert in thhi CRY took place last evening. This young artiste, though a mere child, plays with remarkable power and brilliancy, and renders the difficult compositions of Thalberg and Lizst with a bold and vigorous hand. Her performance justifies' the high praise which has been conferred upon her elsewhere, and we doubt not that she will be appreciated by the musical public of Philadelphia. The young lady is assisted by a company of excellent vocalists. Her second concert will be given this evening, at rival Fund Hall, and we hope that a full house will be in attendance.

[BON ADD/VOWS CITY If MVO, MIS WOMITIS PACE.] Miss Dickinson on ca larcoustruction.” East evening Miss Anna E tficklnson, the ever populisr and enchantiag lectures'', and ardent lover of her country, delivered her new lesture on "He ritoniry w tru" a7, as i n'" r always the tthaAeadem ea y se o , f a: f ela nte b ll . cad appreciative one, who listened with attention ant approved her theories with dissriminatin.g applause. The building was by no means so crowded as on former occasions, yet it wit complimentary; espe cially when we remember how many times she has already spoken at the same place slime the com mencement of the war. Her criticisms of the admi nistration of General Hanks, and what she termed bin Westin to the blacks, Were boldly spoken, and r views of reconstruction, as opposed to those held by the leading statesmen of the country, were received with thoughtful attention. The fair speaker was introduced by Mr. Wm. S. ' Pierce, who, in performing that ceremony, remarked that when he first presented Misa-Hickinson to a Philadelphia audience it was at the outbreak of the rebellion. lie then predicted that she would prove herself the Joan of Aro or the Maid of Saragossa of this war. He did not regret making that prediction, for miss Dickinson's name was now respected among all the loyal people of the North as being that of a true friend of freedom and national union. bliss Dickinson spoke as follows: Eighty-nine years ago commencedour Revolution for independence and the rights of man. Eighty nine years ago the shot that echoed round the world was fired on Concord Bridge. Eighty.ntne years ago began the struggle for life. liberty. and the pursuit of bappinesr. for the overthrow of tyranny, and the establishment of freedom throughout the land. It Was a Conteat, the simple record of which; draws children from their play, and stirs up the hearts of our men captive thrill or patriotic ardor. The con. twit was sustained by great hearts and noble souls, by high thoughts and willing eelesaaridee, earnest devotion and eager martyrdom ; contest streititled by the prayrrs of a nation. But, great Caine, so majestic in thy beginning, why didst thou so tho roughly fail in thy closet For the contest, declared to be for all men, was then announced to be for the white man only. Our fine was made a protection to those who dealt in the bodies and souls of men. The irestalt was an ineompleteness„ and, after mann years of war for justice, we did a stupendous wrong for the sake of peace, and oppressed the pure. and weakest of God's children. after we had ourselves throWn off the yoke of bondage. II was for this reason that April 19, . 1776, had to be repeated On April 19, 1851. it was necessary that as m a s aise au• matte was the first, to go into the war of the Revolt'. Son, so she was the first to go into the war for the putting down of the rebellion. Massachusetts spilled the first blood on the free soil of the North, and she spilled the first blood on the slave soil of the South, and when that blood was flowing over her feet she said that it should wash away the rains of slavery. [Cheers.] As in Italy,the tidos of guns is employed to bring deed bodies e. the surface of the water. so here, the firing of guns had brougnt our peculiar( ties to the surface. The voice of the people is the voice of God indeed. now quick and willing were we at the beginning of the war to do all at d sniffer sill for the Union—how ready Were tee to dare and die, and yet bow little, even then, in the midst of this magnificent uprising—how little did we understand upon what we were enter ing;! The call for 75.000 men for three months, the ploolamation to the insurgents to retire to their re spective abodes and be good citizens ' the decla ration of our wise Secretary of State that we ex pected to reduce the rebellion in a few months, the men going down to the war as if on a holiday sport, the sentiment constantly expressed that the war Would soon be over, showed how little we under stood what we were about. While we wrote procla mations the rebel made cartridges ; and not till the smoke of battle arose, and not tilt that most pro vidential of battles, Bull Run, occurred, did we see that we were In a great contest, Yet we did not learn all. While we ascended from height to height Of Wealth, and power, Cod pride, while we ate our bread. and drank our wine in prosperity, there was another race in our midst who continued to be kept in bondage. What did these people dot They sat alone in the darkness, and, clanking their chains, God heard them, and answered them at last. It was a grand lesson, and grandly out. Day by day, and month by month, as the smoke of battle grew thicker and thicker, our moral sense has peen trying to keep pace with events, and at last it has demanded the elevation of the country to the dig nity and duty of moral law. William of Orange carried upon his banner, "I come;" and he dame to reinstate the Protestant religion. So our army have stamped upon their banners "we come." We come to establish justice and secure the liberties of Ame rica. [Applause ] Two days ago we completed three years of the warfare To.day we count our great battles by scores. We stand on a hundred thousand graves, and there are gathered about us a hundred thousand maimed and shattered men. We talk of reconstruction with these feats before us. We talk of reconstruction with a half a million of rebels in arms. It is but a new name for comer.). mime. [Applause.] Atter all, would it not be just as well for us to subdue ere we reconatruett Co. day we have a fresh demand for 200,000 Mtn un filled, and a draft impending. Richmond is secure to the rebels, and we can give no assistance to our brave prisoners there confined. We began our Bpring campaign full of hope ; but the battles thus far have ended in disaster. In the West you cannot pick up a newspaper without reading of the outrages of the rebel guerillas, and their gnomes. Four hundred Union soldiers have been murdered in cold blood, and the bodies of three-fourths of them were gather ed in a heap, and burned together. Is this the time, she would ask, to talk of reconstruction—or for otters of amnesty and pardon to such fiends? [Ap plause.] EShe did not sayjthese things to disheat ten. Site would rather encourage, and keep up the hopes of the people. Fast save the country, and teen talk about reconstruction. • Let us leave oft State-making, and President-making', and go to work in earnest in our effort to crush the rebellion. Amnesty is only at the mouth of the cannon. [Cheers ] One great danger is passed, and that is, we have found out what the rebellion is. Freedom never can be too strong; slavery never too weak. Generosity to oppression is treason to man and to God. Our nation, to be rebuilt, must be reconstructed on a firm basis. Men who de Mare that tae Union shall be reconstructed on its old basis, who would have the Union as it was, are un worthy of a patient hearing. When you can put up the buildings that have been destroyed, when you can replace the villages and towns destroyed by the war, when you can call into life the one hundred and fifty thousand brave end mouldering forms to day resting in Southern graves, when you can do this, and not until then, can you have the Union as it was. But it was not of that aspect of the recon struction doctrine that she deeiredto speak. There is a Union sentiment of the South that is worthy of being reapectea. If they form the requisite one. tenth, are they wise and strong enough to balance ten votes cast by Northern freemen? The leaders of the rebellion may take the oath of amnesty, but are they to be trusted Is it just that such perjured men should stand on a footing with ten times their number of loyal and good men in the North You say they sire bound by their oath ; but they are not to be trusted. Commonsense and common prudence would tell us that. Who carried Ken. lucky into disunion The great landholders and olavermiders. Who carried Louisiana out of the Union I The landholders and siaveowners. Those same men, who may still be elaveholderd, may take the amnesty oath, and the tenth of them have privileges as full as those possessed by nine-tenths of loyal men in our loyaiNorth. These are the men that elected Michael Rahn Governor of Louisiana. These are the men who co-onerate with Gee. Banks. in making Louisiana a so-called free State—a free State in which slaves are not allowed to move about without a pass from a provost marshal. Tne slaves, it is true, may choose their own owners; but for twelve months they cannot designate new owners. They are thus deprived of that freedom which was promised them. This is the boasted freedom of the d ; this is liberty ; this is reconstruction- This is the working of the proclamation of freedom, and therefore she could say, without fear or passion, that the whole conduct of affairs in Louisiana has been a disgrace to our country and a dishonor to our name. [Applause.] You say that for tills the Ad ministration is responsible. It is responsible for the acts of its officers. It Banks had not been accepts.. ble to those who control him, why has he been re. tained 7 If the theories of tree-State government as carried Out by General Banks are not acceptable to his commander, why has not the work been•undone Burnside, Hooker, Sigel, Fremont and his magnifi cent proclamation [applause], and that man who preeminently peritonea the trueessenticsisto victo , y, whose administration, overthrown by his unworthy successor, shall remain the admiration of all time— Gen. Butler, of Massetheletts—[great applause]— these men have all been placed in inferior positions, or entirely ignored. They were removed without ' reason or excuse assigned, and what reason is there for the retention of such amen as Banks? It seemed to her as if the whole question of reconstruction might be summed up in this, that they are either States or they are not States. If they are States, you have no more right to interfere in reconstruct ing them than you have to reconstruct the States of Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. If they are not States, they are Territories owned by the VniteoiStates, to be governed as Territories, admitted into the Union at the discretion of Congress. The President, by interfering with a - part, virtually acknowledges the destruction of all. The matter has passed from his jurisdiction to his generals. We cannot afford to retain great armies of possession, holding certain States at the °int of the bat oust. It is not just that the people of the North shbuld carry the weight of the debt of this war. When this war is ended we shall need new avenues of wealth to be developed. We must take the land of the South and develop it. We must make that soil valuable by working it, and giving it away to tbose who will make it valuable. [Applause ] We must plant schools and printing presses throughout the South. It will pay. You will in crease tne revenue and develop the wealth of the country. You will make workers out of eight mil lions of poor whites se d four millions of poor blacks. This is no Utopia. You can't have it under the popular idea of reconstruction. Either the blacks are to be elevated, or the whites will sink. If the blacks are to be held as serfs amenable to law with out the pr,wer to make it, you will have them destroying everything with which they come in contact. Ab, she heard somebody say, "You Would thrust amalgamation on the people of the South.” No, no ; that would' be reconstruction; for it is the doctrine in the South during all its ex istence., So long as a rebel in Congress can rise in his seat and declare that Secession is right, and many men support him with their votes, so long shall we be in danger. It is but a second edition or an echo of the reconstruction cry. When this war is ended, there will be many black men who may remember the nation with gratitude. But it is only probable. We have done unjustly by our black sol diers. They were promised bounty, but they never received it. They were promised fair wager, and they have not received them. Inittettd, therefore, of our having 200.000 black, devoted soldiers, we hive not one-half that number. How could we expect any other result? The wonder rs that they number so many. The bravery of the colored troops in bat tle was next referred to, and especially those in the Department of the Gulf, who had done such excel lent service, but who had been so diagragefully treated For their heroism, courage, wounds, and blood spilled in our defence, they have been shame fully abused. In foot one regiment, which had nobly fought at Port Hudson, found when pay day came around that they were indebted to the United States for clothing and articles which they should have received as a free gift. You can't end this con. test by any such work as that. If we do not deal fairly by the black man we must fail of success. The fair speaker detailed various instances of individual bad treatment Of the black troops by white colonels and petty officers, The black men deserved protect flop at our hands. We should give it to them. But we do not give it to them by this plan of reconstruc tion. These may be unpleasant things to be told. They are unpleasant, but they must be told. Now fa the time to say these things. Now, while We are strong enough to prove that we can bear criticism.. These things are not flattering, but they are true. She did not come to dentate a lecture composed of either flattering or unpleasant things. She merely pleaded tor those Who had not the tongues to speak for themselves. She did not advoeate any parson -Ist man for the Presidency- She desired to speak the truth for the benefit of the whole bureau race. The black man is our brother. He is entitled to our sympathy and support, instead of stripes and shame.
