The Nature and the Purpose of Retalla-
In a day or two Senators WADE and
"Goocn will laY before Congress positive
evidence of the murder, burning, cruci
fixion, and burial alive of our s oldiers at
Fort' Pillow. Formally in posges:,:ion: of the
facts, the Government will then be justified
in decreeing retaliation. It is also reported
that Gen. GRIEIZSON lets captured about two
hundred of FORREST'S men, and it is pro
posed that lie shall hang them upon the near
est tree=, and thus "relieve the Government
from great embarrassment, get a valuable
and striking example, and give satisfaction
to the _Northern public." To this we de
cidedly object. Retaliation to be effective
must not be the work of one man, but of
the nation ; it should have, not the color of
reieno-e, but of vengeance; it shOuld not
Inure the impulse of passion, but the dig- .
idly of a solemn purpose. Nor do we
Wish the Government to be relieved from
embarrassment, if the performance of duty,
however stern it may be, is indeed
embarrassing. If retaliation is just, let
the Government have the honor , of
loin= justice; if it is not right, General
GRIERSON cannot satisfy us by a wrong.
We believe that it is altogether, right, and
that the dignity of the Government de : -
wands that it alone should deal with a
emestion in which civilization and Chris
tianity are so deeply involved. The re:-
sponsibility of the decision the Govern
ment cannot transfer; it is bound by honor
and duty to declare; as it only can, the Un
changeable resolution of the people.
What is it that we mean by retaliation ?,
A life for a life ? Much more than this.
The title of FottuEsr, the slave-trader, and
his men, the outcasts, is little to the coun-,
try. It is comparatively unimportant
whether they are slain or live to go through
the world with the hrand of CAIN .upon
their brows. - Human beings so de
graded and bestialized are i1.11110E4 too low
for our anger .to reach, and if We kill
them it should be as men hill :anything
that is unfit to live. Our indignation is
turned against the power that armed these
murderers, and justifies their barbarity—
the rulers of the rebellion who have embo
died massacre in their code of war:
Through FORREST the blow is to be dealt,
but at Richmond it is aiined. By retalia-
-tion we do not intend merely the execu
tion of three hundred -and sixty men to
tivenge the murder of the same number
of our own soldiers ; it is a punish-
Meld meant to stop the commission of
a horrible crime ; a protest written in
blood against the manner in which the re
bellion IVIISCS war ; we employ it as the
only means to protect our captured soldiers
from future slaughter. Retaliation is, there
fore, Humanity. By it we hope not to in
crease the agonies and cruelties of the war.
but to force the enemy to content him
self with the carnage of battle, and un
avoidable bloodshed. In this we shall
fail, if we <leave retaliation to subordi
nate officers, or neglect to announce it as a
national necessity. There should be no
- action on our side to EIN7e excuse to that of
the rebels, and instead of trusting that Ge
neral GRIEEZON will hang the miscreants
he has caught, we earnestly•hope that lie
will not permit one .hair of their heads to
be touched, but will deliver them unharmed
as criminals into the hands of the Govern
ment.
Changes in the British:Ministry.
There have been additional changes in
the British Ministry, arising out of the re
tirement of the Duke of Newcastle from
the Colonial Secretaryship, the transfer of
Nr. EDWARD CARDWELL to that office, the
appointment of the Earl of Clarendon to
the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lan
cashire, and Mr. JAMES STANsFELD7sresig
nation of the office of Junior Lord of the
Admiralty.
Mr. WILLIAM EDWARD BAXTER, who has
been M. P. for the boroual of Montrose
since 1855, was offered the place vacated
by Mr. STA:NSFELD, but has declined it on
the plea of ill health. This is to be re
gretted by those who wish well to the
Palmerston Administration, for Mr.- BAX
-TER is an able man, with liberal principles.
Be is only thirty-nine years old, has re
ceived a University education, is partner
in a great commercial firm at Dundee, has
Nrritteu several books of travel (including
" America and the Americans "), and is
decidedly friendly to the stability of the
American Union. On his refusal, Lord
PALatEnsroic applied to Mr. ITUGIT Cum-
TANG EARDLEY CRILDERS, who has been
N. P. for the borough of Pontefract
Ellice February, 1860. He is only thirty
seven years old ; is connected with the
Wellesley family through his mother ; was
a member of the Government of Victoria
(Australia) from 1851 to 1857 ; held a seat
in the first Cabinet, as a*Commissioner -of
Trade and Cugtoms ; sat for Portland in
the first Legislative Assembly there, 1856-7;
bas been High Sheriff of - Yorkshire, which
shows him to be a man of fortune, and is a
decided Liberal, with strong proclivities
- towards the cause of freedom and good go-
Termnent in the United States.
The first work performed by Lord CLA-
ItEmmx, as Cabihet Minister, was to pro
ceed to Paris with a special commission
from Lord PALMERSTON to the Emperor of
the French, the purport of which was to
reunite, yet closer than before, the enieilie
cordiale which Lord RessEm. nearly broke
up, last November, by his refusal—more
Curt than courteous—to assent to the pro
posed European Congress. It is said that
the Emperor has condescended to accept
PALMERSTON'S explanations, and again to
receive England into favor, and that Rus
sia will also join England and France—the
design being to place a strong antagonism to
the onslaught of Germany upon Denmark.
- The leading European Powers, including
the Federal Diet of Germany, have agreed,
to send representatives to the Conference
at London, on Danish matters. The pre
liminary meeting was to have been held, at
Lord PALlcEasrort's office, on the 20th of
April, and England will be represented by
:Lord RUSSELL, who is, and by Lord CLA
IM/11)EN, who was, Foreign Minister.
There has been another defeat (about the
fifth, this Session,) of the Palmerston Go
vernment, in the House of Commons.
Properly speaking, it is rather the defeat
•a. man than of a ministry, but may
eventuate in a damage to the Go..
cernMent. Dir_ ROBERT LOWE, a politi
cal adventurer, who served his apprentice-
Ship to politics in Austridia, returned to
"Bngland in 1850, became a leading con
tributor to The Times, got into Parliament
in the summer of 1852, and in Decem
ber of that year, on the defeat of the
Derby-Disraeli Government, was appointed
joint Secretary to the Board of Control, after
that Vice President of the Board of Trade,
Etud. Paymaster of the Forces, and has been
President of the Board of Health, and Vice
President of the Education Board of the
Privy Council, the salary of which is
*lO,OOO a year. Partly bccallSe of his do
mineering manner, partly because or his
connection with the formidable Times, and
partly because his educational views tend
to lower the status and diminish the sala
ries of school teachers, Mr. Lowe has
long been disliked in the House of Com
mons. The other da,y, on the motion of
Lord ROBERT CECIL (one of DISRAELI'S
aids-de-camp), a motion was carried, by a
majority of eight, that Mr. LOWE had mu
tilated, garbled, and sometimes suppressed
the reports of the Education Inspectors.
This vote of censure has caused Mr. LOWE
to tender his resignation to Lord PALMER
wax. If accepted, a series of bitter and
destructive attacks upon Mr. LOWE'S late
colleagues in the Government may be
'looked for in The Times. Many thoughtful
Friends of Lord F!ALX - EntSTON will scarcely
regret, however, the dissolution of his eon
pection, through Mr. LOWE, with the lead
and most unprincipled
ling, most powerful,
journal in Europe. Such a separation, too,
-Would niche Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIO=
more decidedly friendly to Lord PALMER -
sToN than they have lately been—a sup
port which would materially strengthen
him in the House of Commons, and in pub
lic. opinion beyond its walls.
The United States Christian Commission.
The meeting on behalf of this noble as
sociation, in the Church of the Epiphany,
this evening, will be one of more than ordi
nary importance. It is the first of a series
of meetings to be held throughout the
country, to raise by subscription half a mil
lion of dollars for carrying on the work of
the Commission. The treasury of the
Commission is now%mpty, while, in addi
tion to the demand which may come upon
it any day for a large supply of battle-field
delegates and stores, there is an urgent call
from every part of our army for such read
ing matter as the Commission supplies, anti
for clergymen to preach the gospel. Much
depends upon the meeting this evening.
Philadelphia is the headquarters of the
Christian Commission ; its president is one
of our eminent and successful merchants,
and it is important- that an amount
should be subscribed here sufficiently large
to set a good example to other cities.
We deem it superfluous to speak now of
the character or the objects of the Chris
tian Commission. In a recent letter from
the Secretary of War that officer says "It
is not only a pleasure, but I regard it as an
official duty, to commend the Christian
Commission to. public confidence and re
spect."
The array of speakers announced for the
meeting, aside from any other conSidera
tioO, Should draw a great audience. The
Rt. Rey. CrtArthEs P. MCILVAINE, Bishop.
Of Ohio, ipresides. Rev. Dr. KIRK, of
Boston ; Rev. JOSEPH T. DURYEA, of New
York ; BishOp Stmrsolc, and Rev. J.

together With the distinguished Boston mer
chant, E. S. TonEr, Esq., are gentlemen
familiar with the work of the Commission,
having seen for themselves its operations
On the field. We presume any one of
them would interest an audience for the
entire evening, but hope those who are
fortunate enough to get inside the church
mill remember the main object of the meet
ing.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WAS - IDS:GTO - ST, May 2, 1864
- That which everybody thinks and talks
about is the military situation in Eastern
Virginia. It is the one absorbing topic.
The movements of General Grant, rapid
and vast as they are, are also mysterious.
Loyal men cease to inquire whet they im
port, or exactly where the evtliet will
open. And this because they are unani
mous in their confidenee in Grant. I
may say, too: , that the Government
is satisficd with the new Lieutenant
General, and that the fullest faith
is repo, , ed in, as the largest discretion
i..neeorded to, him: This, also, is the senti
ment of congress, and_ especially of the
War Committees. In preparing for a
stntggle upon Which -such incalculable
issues depend, the controlling and directing
intellect ,- must feel that he has a force
around him instinct with high resolve and
attached to , his person ; and, furthermore,
that hehas a Government and a people at his
back that will be to him as a wall of ada
mant; never shaking or yielding in the hour
of disaster. It is natural to every period of
suspense that men should hunger for early
action ; but patience is just now, more than
ever, one of the royal virtues. As I see
the regiments of cavalry passing along the
avenues, and hear the sharp clink of the
horses' iron feet and the thrilling chorus of
ringing sabres, and as the raffling roar of
passing battery after battery sounds like
the deep bass in a mighty military orches
tra, whose music is not that of the instru
ments' of harmony, but that made by the
- engines of war—as I behold and hear
these things, I become patient, and gladly
content to wait. Of one thing I may
write freely., The rebels who witness or
know of these manifestations do not
conceal their apprehensions. This fact
will impire them to fight with intense bit
terness ; but such a spirit can only extend
to the political leaders and the military
chiefs. For, however violently a people
may act- under evil and reckless guides,
they
_cannot maintain hate of their own
kindred, and, in fact; of their own Govern
ment, only to save these same guides ;
and the more so, in full view alike
of the published standing offer of
pardon to them by President Lincoln,
and the exhaustless resources and sublime
energy of the loyal States, as again dis
played -in the preparations for the coming
battle. It cannot be many clays, however,
before the conflict is inaugurated, and then
all speculations and theories will be tested
by the facts. OCCASIONAL.
THE PuEss appears taday in an entire suit of
new type, from the foundry of Collins & INPLeester,
cf Philadelphia. It is but:just to this well-known
firm to say that the full beauty of their. "faces" is
not likely to appeal in the first impressions, for it
is seldom that new type prints well until it has been
used for a few days. The Improvement in the ap
pearance of the paper is, how ‘ ever, evident at a
,lance.
Death of Commodore Porter.
Commodore W. D. Porter, eldest son of gallant
old Commodore David Porter, and senior brother of
Admiral W. D. Porter—one of a distinguished fami
ly of naval heroes—died on Sunday, in New York,
at St. Luke's hospital, of disease of the heart, ag
gravated by a severe scalding received 'on board the
famous Essex ship, some two years ago,. and the
weakening of his system under four attacks of yellow
fever, while in service .lering, the war. The Com
modore had suffered much for his country.
Commodore Porter was a Louisianian by birth.
Ile entered the navy in 13' as a boy on board the
'United States ship Franklin, under command of
Commodore Stewart, and received an excellent na
val education under Commodores Hull, Chauncey,
Patterson, and Rodgers. He projected and was
the founder of the present lighthouse system ; was
through the whole Mexican war, where he did noble
service; in 1855 was placed on a retired list by a
secret Navy Board ; four years after he was re
stored to his rank as commander by President Bu
chanan ; was then appointed to the command of the
"United states ship St. Marys, and did important
service on the Pacific coast. On the outbreak of the
rebellion he was ordered home from the Pacific ; and
though he had property in Virginia, and many of his
family were in the rebel cause, he proved faithful to
the Government, tendered his aid in putting down
the rebellion, and was assigned to a, boat which was
built chiefly under his superintendence. He chris
tened it after his father's ship, the Essex. At the
battle of Port Henry, he ran up within 150 yards of
the fort, and fought with courage and effect until
scalded by the steam issuing from the boiler, the
thick plates of which had been penetrated by a ball.
He said he went into the fight with high colors, and,
though disabled, the stars and stripes still waved
as he floated back. lie also commanded the Essex
at the attack on Fort Donelson, and fought his way
in the same boat past all the batteries from Cairo
to New Orleans. He destroyed the ram Arkansas
in 1862, above Baton Rouge. After this event he
was promoted from captain to commodore—being
the third instance in our naval history in which
pro Motion from commander to commodore has
taken place.
The remains of Commodore Porter will be brought
to this city for interment, and suitable funeral
honors will be publicly paid to his memory. -
Wi• are very sorry to learn that-Ron. Henry E.
Stebbins, member of Congress from the First dis
trict of New York, is very ill with typhoid fever at
his residence in that city."

Affairs in Nevada.
A copy of a letter from Governor Nice, of Ne
vada, to the Secretary of State, has been sent to
Congress. With regard to the defeat by the people
of the State OnzAitution, the Governor suggests
that the Constitution contained stringent provi
sions in regard to the right of suffrage, which arrayed
the disloyal element against it. Many miners ob
jected to the provision imposing a tax on mining.
It was submitted at the same time time as
the State election, and some of the names
on the State ticket excited much. dissatisfac
tion. Exception was also taken to some pro
ceedings of the Convention. All these causes com
bined SllitiCei to defeat the State Constitution.
Virginia City and the adjacent county, which were
entitled to one-third of the representation, voted
against the tax on mines.
This alarmed the farmers, who thought the whole
tax would fall upon them,
and many joined the
disaffected to defeat the Constitution. He says
there is a good Union majority in every precinct of
the county, Too many of the disloyal, who annoy
and porpleX constantly, and considerable of the se
cession element exists in the recent immigration,
mainly from Missouri, southern Illinois, and
Southern Indiana; and the :tattered rebel forces of
the .Southwest. This character of i s migration he
thinks will be greatly increased this season. The
Struggle between the 'guile's has been earnest and
embittered. He has no doubt. that Nevada will
immediately respond to the enabling act of Con
gress. $30,000,000 in precious metals have been
mined during the past year. When irrigation
is reduced to a system, it is claimed that the Terri
tory will produce a sufficiency of vegetables and
cereals.
The Pennsylvania Reserves.
The trouble among the Pennsylvania Reserves
results from the fact that the men claim their time
will be up in May, Mi. They seek to fortify this
claim by citing an order of the War Department,
and the practice of the Pension Bureau, dating the
term of service - from the day of enrolment. The
War Department rules, however, that troops must
serve the United States three years from the date
of their muster into the service of the United States.
This would seem to be law and common sense;
nod the Government will undoubtedly adhere to - its
exprmed purpose to retain the troops in the ser
vice. They, to be sure, will:feel restive under the
prolongation of the term for which they intended
originally to contract. But they did deliberately con
tract with the Government for three years• service,
and it would scent as if there was nothing for them
to do but to stick to the bargain manfully, and to
look to their State authorities and their own
officers for any satisfaction they may erase for not
having the two months they had served in Pennsyl
vania allowed upon and deducted from the time for
which it was notorious that the United States alone
made contracts with soldiers. it is said that the
privates in the Deserve regiments have unani
mously determined to quietly lay down their arms
and refuse to peribrm further duty when their time
is up, as they measure It. It is to be hoped they
Will be dissuaded from this action.
General :aluanu has addressed to them a circular,
in which kindness and firmness arc well blended,
and in which he entreats them to patriotic behaVior.
This letter from their old commander will assuredly
bring order Out of chaos, l'o good soldier would
make anything a pretext for leaving the service on
the immediate approach of active operations in the
Investigation of the Fort Pillowillassaere
—An Authentic Case.
The sub-committee on the conduct of the war,
consisting of Senator WADE and Representatie
GOOcn, have returned- from Fort Pillow. They took
fifty-seven depositions, all of which more than con
firm the newspaper accounts of the massacre. They
say that it would be impossilde to exaggerate the
cruelties committed. Among the witnesses examined
is the negro who was buried alive and who dug him
self out of his own grave.
There is no doubt of the fact that one or more
persons were nailed through their flesh to pieces of
weed, and then buried alive. Not only on the day
of the surrender were these fiendish acts perpetra
ted, but on the next day in cold plood. The victims
seen by the committee were most of them cut and
pierced in the face and eyes with bayonets and
swords, while other parts of their bodies were
mahged and disfigured either by steel or lead,

of white and black soldiers.? He voted for that

EXEC:TIT/VP. 11IA TTSION,
WASHINGTON, November 2.
Hon. Montgomery Blair:
.INly BEAT: *LIT Some days ago I understood you
to say that your brother, General Frank P. Blair,
desires to be guided bylny wish as to whether he
will occupy his seat in Congress, or remain in the
field.
My wish, then, is compounded of what I believe
win be best for the country and best for him, and it
is that he will come here and put his military com
mission in my hands, take his seat, go into caucus
with our friends, abide the nominations, help elect
the nominees, and thus aid to organize a House of
Representatives, which will really support the Go
vernment in the war. If the result shall be the
election of himself as Speaker, let him serve in that
position ; if not, let him retake his commission and
return to the army. For the eountry this will heal
a dangerous schism. For Min it will relieve from
dangerous position or a misunderstanding, as I think
ne is in danger of being permanently separated from
those with whom only he can ever have a real sym
pathy, the sincere opponents of slavery. It will be
a mistake if he shall allow the provocations offered
him by insincere time-servers to drive him from the
house of his own building. /
He is young yet. He has abundant talents ; quite
enough to. occupy all his time, without devoting any
to temper. He is rising in military skill and useful
ness. His recent appointment to the command of a
corps by one so competent to judge as Gen. Sher
man proves this. On that line he can serve both the
country and himself more profitably than he could
as a member of Congress upon the floor. The fore
going is what I would say if Frank Blair were my
brother instead of yours. A. LINCOLN.

(Special despatch to the N. Y. Times.]
WA SU 1 fiGT I.—A despatch was received
to-day by the Government, from Fortress Monroe,
stating that the roar of Beauregard's army passed
through Petersburg yesterday morning.
His force is estimated at from 18,000 to 20,000 men.
Nothing of special note has transpired at the front
to-day. Pickets of both armies extend up and down
the Rappahannock and Rapidan.
A considerable rebel force is reported to be at
Fredericksburg-, at work throwing up more earth
works on the heights.
The rebels are also reported to be withdrawing
from the vicinity of Madison Court House, and con
centrating in front of our left and centre.
One division of Longstreet's corps, according to
deserters, is at Hanover Junction, in reserve.
On the same authority, Lee's strength is stated to
be upward of 100 2 000 men
WASHINGTON, ➢Tay 2.—A Richmond paper of
Thursday last says : "The languor in the commer
cial market shows that the townspeople will have
to live on half rations until the country people, who
have provisions to spare, shall have heardof the de
feat of Grant's army. We may then expect supplies
from all quarters, and a revival of business on a
descending scale of prices."
A despatch from Orange Court House, April 27,
says that all the Yankees have left the valley to re
inforce arcade.
A telegram from PreilerickAMrg of the Satkie iato
says as yet there are no indications of Grant's
movement toward Fredericksburg, except that the
telegraph from Occoquan to Alexandria Is being re_
paired by the Yankees.
THE FIGHT AT MADISON COURT HOUSE
THE REBELS ,SMOKED OUT OF THE
PLACE.
W.itelfiNGTON, May 2.—The expedition which
was sent out last week and destroyed Madison
Court House met no rebels till within about a half
mile from that town. A slight skirmish then took
place, in which the rebels lost five men and the
Union soldiers nine. The enemy then returned to
the Court House. The Star has the following fur
ther particulars :
The rebels suddenly disappeared, but on our forces
entering the town they received a volley of musket
ry from the windows of the houSes., and they were
for a time compelled to withdraw. The officers in
command of the reconnoitring party ordered ano
ther advance, when again a destructive fire was
opened on them from the houses, and there being no
other way of smoking the rebels out, orders were is
sued that the town should be fired. The torch was
applied to a number of houses affording cover for the
enemy, whereupon the hitter hastily decamped,
leaving our forces in full possession of the place.
The flames, however, spread very rapidly, and there
being no means at hand whereby the fire could be
checked, a general t onflagration was the result,
and in a short time almost the entire town was in
ashes.
The act was certainly not a wanton one on the
part of the Union oillats, but was rendered neces
sary by the dastardly act of the rebels, who used the
houses as a shelter for the purpose of slaughtering
our troops.
RECONNOISSANCE TO -UPPER-VILLE-CAP
TURE OF MOSEBY'S MEN.
The cavalry expedition sent out from Vienna, on
Thursday last, under the command of Colonel Low
ell, returned to that place yesterday, after having
visited Leesburg, Rectortown, and Upporville. Near
the latter place a portion of Moseby's guerilla
band was encountered, when a sharp fight ensued,
which resulted in the capture of twenty-three pri
soners. Colonel Lowell lost three men killed and
four wounded. He returned in safety to Vienna
with the prisoners captured from Moseby, and three
blockade-runners, twenty-five horses, a large quan
tity of wool, tobacco, and other contraband goods
picked up on the route.

pieces of artillery, which, with musketry, suddenly
opened on the boat. The crew, though taken by
surprise, quickly responded, and quite a brisk fire

troops from Rnoxville and Cleveland to Chattanoo

be thrown from Tennessee and Kentucky, warn us
that we need not be suprised at anytime to hear that

individuals, who are insured only for about ten
thousand dollars.
The Richmond Examiner, of April 29th says
"We have again rumors of an impending battle on
the Georgia and Tennessee lines. The opinion in
that part of the Confederacy appears to be that the
enemy is to make a grand effort for a successful
campaign in that quarter, but while there is much
stronger evidence that an effort is to be made in the
direction of Richmond, it must be recollected
that this theory by no means excludes the
probability that an important issue is also to be
tried in North Georgia. The enemy has no army
there which isformidable in numbers and discipline.

has not in Virginia—the impregnable fortifications
of Chattanooga upon which to fall back in case of

RENOMINATION OP Two FAIT II FUL REP RE
tyllg.—The telegraph has already an
nounced the renomination of Hon. J. K. More
head and Hon. Thomas E. - Williams to represent
the districts which are now represented by them
in Congress, after the expiration of their present
twin. We cannot refrain from expressing our
gratification at this result, as well for the sake
of the principles at stake as for our reaurd
personally for the men thus honored. Hon.
J. K. Morehead has already represented his district
in Congress fur four years, while the nomination of
Hun. Thos. Williams is for a second Congress. The
former is an industrious, practical, thorough-going
legislator not often heard on the floor of the House,
except it Is in the utterance of words directly bear
ing on the question before that body ; but he is
In v aluable in committee, and faithful alike to
the country and the immediate constituents
whom he represents. Tho latter is emphati
cally, to-day, one of the very ablest men in Con
gress, if not one of the foremost men in the country
In point of intellect. Indeed, Hon. Thomas -Wil
liams has few equals in all the requirements of a
legislator, and certainly no superior in the qualifi
cations which constitute a successful debater and a
popular orator.—Harrisburg Telegraph.

Every dose makes the blood purer. The nerves com
moner in the arteries and terminate in the veins. These
pills, as a first effect, act upon the arterial blood, in
creasing the circulation, by which impurities are depo
sited in the reins, and they throw off such collections
into the bowels, which organs, by the energies derived
from Brandeth's Pills, expel them from the system.
When first used, the Pills may occasion griping, and
even make the patient feel worse. This is air excellent

Years on the 27th day of May, 196.4, Attlee the Mimi Vos
lunteer Refreshment Saloon commenced its operations.
The Committee never have pressed their claims. Nei
ther have they lost sight of the fact that there were
other institutions equally worthy of public confidence
and support; and they have endeavored to discharge
the duties entrusted to them in as honest, ecotentitral ,
quiet, and unostentatious manner. Up to this dim we
have been generously supported by contributions from
our friends and a portion of the moneyed corporations of
Philadelphia. Mre. have tried to lessen the burdens of
our kind friends by annual fairs in June; the first was a
success; the second comparatively a failure, in:o3We
qttence of the raid into Pennsylvania last mummer,. and
there is 110 prospect of 1101.1111 g ouS thie Menials, IR in,
tendey, The high price of provisions,. and the heavy
and constant demand 0 our Saloons, have nearly de
pleted our treasury, and as the signs of the times point
to a series of Protracted battles, and as there will no
doubt be still further calls on our limited resources, we

the citizens of Philadelphia atat vacluity f or

Centributions in cash, and notice of
Sanitary Stores for our use, will be rose.
