The Probabilities of the Situation.
The intelligence received to-day adds to
the probability that LEE has resolved to
fall back within the entrenchments of
Richmond. The Wilderness, which the
..A.rmy of the Potomac has passed without
opposition, would have been naturally the
place to expect opposition. There the
army was severely punished in the battle
of Chancefforsville, and if General LEE in
tended to oppose the advance it would
seem problible that he would have there
placed his forces.
It is, however, thought that LEE is CIF
trenched near Orange Court House. The
objections to this theory a glance at the
Map will make obvions. If it lac true, Ile
has not only permitted Generai GRANT' to
flank - him, but has abandoned Richmond
to the of the army on the Penin
sula. The forces under BUTLER are, no
doubt; sufficient to capture the city, if
LEE'S" tinny i Rat iii position to defend' it,
and; in that ease, it is clear that General
GRANT sbould not force a battle until BU'r.
LEE'S 11)0Vcluellt become decisive.
policy would be to detain LEE until the
capture of the city -is effected, and a strong
force ei-talti , lted in his rear_ We believe
that the F m pit auous advance of two or
more large armies:l:won one position must
force its defenders to concentrate upon the
central point attacked, and are not disposed
10 believe that LEE will commit the lun
der of giving battle at a point so far die
taut from Inehmond. 3ftich; however,
depend: upon facts that are unknown—
upon the :strength of the reba.armics, and
their ability to offer desperate resistance on
the : Peninsula as well as beyond the Rap
paliitimOck. Criticism based so generally
upon - conjecture is not worth much ; but if
we are permitted to assume that our armies
are much larger than those of the rebels,
we do not see how the conclusion that
LEE has retreated upon Richmond is to be
aToidiA.
The report that General Bun SIDE was
attacked, on Monday last, by LONGSTREET 7
at Thorouabfare Gap, and defeated, was so
plainly false at the first that we are stu•-
prised any- journal should he found mill
ciently mischievous or credulous to publish
it. But it is now positively proved untrue
by deptitt-Ite:-,1 frOm General BURNSIDE'S
headquarterS, dated the 4th instant. Ile
was then - at Warrenton Junction, expecting
to move that day.
If LEE retreats lo Richmond he will
have the great advantage of the e.oneen.
tration of sll the troops which the enemy
can brine: up for the defence of the East.
He will be reinforced most probably by
BEaurEGA up, who will be at the least
.
near enotut - h. to co-operate. His rear it will
be easier to protect, and he will defy the
UluOn army from - behind entrenchments
upon which the best engineering skill
of the Confederacy and the labor of three
years have been expended. In that event,
ft siege is inevitable, and General GuANT
:will give us another Yie - kshurg, and not
another Chaitanooga. It is evident that
much depends upon the celerity of our
movements and the force of our blows.
The events of this week have probably al
ready determined whether Richmond is to
lie besieged, or the enemy forced to give
battle in the openfteld.
We have no fears of the result. In Gen.
GnANT we have the fullest confidence, and
equal faith .in the spirit of the grand army
he commands. We judge his future by
his past. WI has never been in haste to
advanc,c - ; butwhen he htui once challenged
battle nothing has daunted
.or repelled
him. When he had once placed his army
in the rear of - Vicksburg, he never stopped
fighting till he held the city with an iron
.iraan ; before Chattanooga he Waited until
the country began to doubt whether the
attack li'ould ever be made, but when it
was made it Was over Whelming. We have
a logical right to adduce from these pre-
mires a very emphatic conclusion, and
to expect- a campaign that shall of all
things be energetic. Energy is what
we most want. The Army of the
Potomac would have conquered long
ago, we firmly believe, if it bad been. lran
died as it deServed to be. If the giant had had
its much energy in his brain as in his body,
it would not be now left to General GRANT
10 destroy the rebellion in Virginia, and deal
upon its Imo a blow inspired by the full
strength of the country. But let the past
bury-the past. Let us even cease the use
less effort to unveil the future. It is with
the present that we are alone concerned,
and its aspect could not be more en-
couraging. _ Wehave reason to hope for
so much that there is very little room for
fear.:
General Butler's 11111111EP.
General BUTLER'S movement on the Pe
ninsula is of extraordinary importance. He
is in personal command of the whole army,
aided by the preSence of Generals W. F.
53uT r , GILMORE, TERRY, and WEITZEL.
FroSithe ability of these leaders we may
infer the. size of the army they com
mand, tonl know that the movement is
- indispensable element in the general
attack. BUTLER, a man of remarkable en . -
ercy, haS already disembarked his troops
at City Point, as we learn from 'despatch
received at the moment of sending this esli. 7
lion to press. He is thus opposed to BEA1;-
r:R(4Am), who is known to be at Petersburg
with thirty thousand - men: Front City
Point he threatens 'the Petersburg and
Richmond Railroad, and if 'he - defeats
BEALREGAIED will cutoff the rebel capi
tal from reinforcement from the South.
When we consider the vast importance of
the movement, and the necessity of its suc
cess to the complete triumph of the entire
campaign, we are the more astonished that
a general marching on the enemy should
be attacked by _Northern journals. Yet we
are not alto.gether surprised, for our poli
ticians understand the very moment to
-attack a soldier is when ite is about
- to give btatte and is embarrassed with na
tional duties. Mier all, if it makes little
difference to General BUTLER who defanies
him, it should not make mudh to us ; his
•
best defence is the service he is doing the
country, and if this be ample refutation of
slander, then other argument would be
vseless.
The Churehe,s To-Morrow•,
We alluded yesterday to the sublime
sympathy of Christianity with Freedom,
and the all-encouraging fact that the influ
ence Of the Christian Church everywhere
sustains and justifies our Government. But
if ever prayers were needed it is now. To
morrow will be to us a day of peace, but
for our armies it is far more likely to be
.one of deadly strife. We would therefore
recommend to our clergymen and churches
the duty of dedicating this day to earnest
prayer for the success of the Union armies
in the grand movements they have just be
gun. The presence of the members of the
General Conference of the Methodist Epis
copal Church of the United States, inclu
ding so many distinguished men, will Give
further interest to the solemnity of the day,
und there is no reason why all sects should
not be united in the performaut:? of this
national duty.
If we are Defeated?
It is not often that we find in the New
York jl'm•id opinions we can fully sustain,
and it is, therefore, with unusual satisfac
tion that we quote the following paragraph.
A newspaper that is usually in the wrong
is the more emphatic when occasionally
right. The surprise with which we have
read this good advice will be shared by the
public, which we entreat to remember that
this colmscl is more impressive, being
ziven by_the World, than it would have
been if given by a thoroughly loyal journal :
"The most important counsel we can offer to our
Collllollllell when such great events are impeudimr
is to fortify their minds against discouragement
from any possible result of the coming battles. We
should ere shame upon our soldiers, if they should
flinch and lose tile victory by want of heroic steadi
ness. We can fully trust them on that score ; hilt
can we trust ourselves 1 if the advance is beaten,
the reserves will conic up with the same vigorous
alacrity as if all had gone well; they would dis
grace themselves if they should give up while
there was the slightest possibility of success.
Tim public amatimcnt of the eonntry Alin&
in the same relation to the whole army
that the reserve does to the advance. If the
country wavers and is east down in ease the army is
repulsed, we shall disgrace our manhood as irre
trievably as we should byeowardice in battle. There
is no use of ollering any counsel as to glint the coun
try should do if we are -victorious: Success is com
pel ent to take care of itself. lint if, contrary to our
hopes and cuipeetations, we should be beaten, we
trust that ovory man of position and influence ; who
loves his country, will Oct his face like a flint against
any talk or intimation of succumbing to foitune. -
We
are in a crisis when posterity cannot overlook
ns ; and since we are certain to go into history, let
us sit for our picture in a decent and manly lati
tude.

NE..ADQUARTER.S ISTR AR.MV C0R1..., eye., FORT
RESS MozatoE, May 3, 1864,--GENERAL : Your note
of the 4th of April reached my hand to-day; and I
hasten to reply. Tour being relieved from Newbern
by me in no manner implies any censure upon your
action or disapproval of your administration, and
vas determined upon many days before the order
was actually sent, and before it was known or be
lieved there would be any demonstration upon your
command by the enemy.
That order was delayed by the necessities of the
service in other movements of the department,
which arc solely subjects of explanation.
With sentiments of respect and esteem, I have the
honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
BENJ. F. BUTLER, Major General.
To Major General P.Eva - .
By the above, it will be seen that the fall of
Plymouth, on the 20th of April, had nothing to do
with General Pavx's change from North Carolina,
and that no censure is imputed to that officer.
The National Ilauhs—Opinion of Score
- tary Chaime.
The following letter wit?. read by Senator Suf.:U
7TX"; to-day, during the ConaideratiOn of the Na
tional Currency bill :
Tax seer IJKPARTMENT, May 2, 1,26-1.
Nothing but my deep FMK of the importance
or sustaining. by every possible means, the public
credit, upon which the sole dependence of the Go
vernment by means to suppress the insurrection
must rest, would induce me to address you this let
ter upon a subject which has already received sp
much consideration.
The bill in relation to the national banking sys
tem, now under debate, is in the nature elan amend-
Ment to the act of last session. Though a com
plete bill in itself. it contains a few provisions not
substantially embraced in that net. 11111011 g which
that in relation to the measure and distribution of
taxation mar be regarded perhaps the most im
portant. 'Under ordinary eircuinstances there might
be no insuperable objection to leaving the property
organized under the national banking law subject,
az. arc alma all docriptions of Kopertv, to gene•
ral taxation, State, National, and municipal j but,
in the present condition of the country, I respect
fully submit that this particular description of pro
perty should be placed in the same category with
imported goods before entry into general consump
tion, and be subjected to exclugieely national taxa
tion.
At the present moment the duties ottimports form
the sole reliance of the Government for means to
pay the interest on the public debts. If to these
Ineani. the taxeB to b ria
e hl by the National Banks
shell be added, a most important addition will be
made to these measures. £he mere fact that these
taxes arc made payable to the National Govern
ment, and so available for the payment of interest
On the public debt and for the redaction of its prin
cipal_ will strengthen public credit and fbeilitate
the negotiation 'Of the necessary loans at moderate
rates of interest. I have no doubt that such a dis
position of these taxes would be worth more to the
oveminant during-, the present strut,-xle in practi
cal results than three times the actual value of the
taxes themselves.
I do not at all suggest that this description of pro
perty should not be taxed as heavily as any other
description_ On the contrary, I think it just that
it should bear its full proportion of the public bur
dens. lam only anxious that the taxation upon it
shall be made to contribute as largely as 'possible to
the general welfare; and it is the conviction deeply
impiessed on my mind that it will contribute more
when aggregated in one mass, and made to tell upon
the general public credit, timn when divided be
tween the nation :Old the titates and numerous
municipal corporations, that prompts me to address
these views to
Under any plan Of taxation that may be adopted,
the anunint of taxation distributed to the several
:States and municipalities will be comparatively
small and unimportant, and it is quite possible that
the Mtn] taxation of banking property for all pur
poses will be than it will be if taxed excamively
for national Purposes. The advantages of partition
to States and municipalities will therefore be small,
and banks may not lose by it. The nation alone
will he injured. It will not be understood, of course,
that the foregoing rtigi s eestions are intended to apply
to real estate held by any banking institutions.
That description of property must necessarily be
held tinder state laws, and should properly be sub
jected exelitt-iyely to state taxation, except in the
event of a direct tax by Congress.
The ease is otherwise with the personal property
and clean of the banking associations. These re
ceive their orguinisations from national law, and for
great national purposes, and may therefore with
great propriety, and as have endeavored to show at
thepresent time, with great public advantage, be
subjected to exelusiVe national taxation.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
WASHINGTON, May 6.—Yesterday afternoon, at
two o'clock, information was received by General
Burnside that a large force of rebels was moving
southward by way of Thoroughfare Gap. This was
mu
comnicated by signals, and General Ihirnside at
once started a large force of cavalry, who came
up with the enemy as they were passing through
the Gap. A volley from our men brought to the
ground a lieutenant, supposed, from the mark
on his shirt, to be named Marchand. He is be
lieved to have been an aid to either Leo or
Stuart, as orders were found upon his person, signed
by order of General Lee, directing Imboden and
his cavalry, and all or the cavalry force in Northern
Virginia, to move at once and join General Lee.
These orders were dated on the 4th inst., and it is
supposed that the cavalry retreating south was not
only that of lmboilen, but all the rebel oftealry ltt
Northern Virginia, except probably a few guerilla
bands and marauders who could not in time receive
the notice. This information shows that the state
ment telezraphed frem New York of the defeat of
Burnside at Thoroughfare Gap was without founda

which were despatched to assist in relieving the East.
Ott, were attacked while returning to Alexandria
by the onemy,who lined the banks of the river on both
sides, firing upon the boats from a twelve-pounder
battery, making it necessary also to destroy the
transports, which were burned.
Several men of the crows of the iron-clads were

The - Enlistment of Foreigners.
• The Secretary of state has received a lettter from
W. 31% B.
.WEST, United States consul at . Dublin,
dated April 20, in which he says : "So many false
hoods and calumnies have been stated - in the public
press as to the treatment of the famous one hundred
and two men brought out by - Mr. Faaxr and Mr.
Irnmen, of Boston, who were said to be forced into
enliPtment by being starved and drugged, Sce., and
this Government having directed their minister,
Lewd LYONS, to get an explanation thereof from
you, I have thought it advisable to send pin copies
of two letters, from several written in a similar
strain, to poor parents here, by 'the recipients of
:Messrs. KirmEn and Fultxrs free emigration,
who rejoice in their good fortune, and are in entire
ignorance
of the bad treatment said to be received
by them, and for which they Intro had so much sym
pathy from their Irish friends, who would have let
them starve or go to the poor-house, had they re
mained much longer in Ireland."
One of the letters above referred to is dated Ga
loup IPland_ Bacton,lllareh 2.3, 1864, in which the
writer, addressing* his parents, says • " When we
landed in Portland there was a great hubbub among
the boys. There were gentlemen met us on the
pier and gave us drinks, - cigars and food, and want
ed us to enlist, There Were ;about five of them en
listed, and the remainder came along with Feeny
to Boston. I remained at Portland till next day.
and could get work there at $2.23 per day if I liked
to stop, but I was not in working trim, fur I did not
eat three good meals of grul, during the time that I
was coining across, so I - came to Boston the next
day, and enlisted in the 3d Cavalry, which is sta
tioned now in Now Orleans, or rather on the Ten
sus, but it is in New Orleans where I will have to
learn ioy drill. I g ot ,4,1403 dollars in hand, and I
sent home :K25. The bounty I enlisted for was *627.
I only got *4OO in hand ; the remainder I get in
instalments every two months, along with. my- pay.
"Everything is very dear here at present. Butter
is 50 eente a pound ; sugar 17 cents a pound, and
everything in proportion ; but still wages are good.
No one need starve here. But don't -be laboring
under the idea that men are very scarce here. It's
no such thing. There are plenty of them. Dear pa
rents, you would be surprised to see the men that are
enlisting here.
"The generality of them are dressed like gentle
men, with watches in their pockets. It is a good
-thing that you cannot be forced to do anything here,
and as to forcing us to list, no one could do it, ex
cept you were a citizen, and then you would he sub
ject to the draft, and you must be three years in the
country before that can be done. We would be very
comfortable here, only there is no chance of drink
on the Island. I have seen fellows give eight dol
lars. for a quart of whisky. All the ftYllows are buy
ing watches out of their bounty and limey shirts,
but I bought nothing. I don't understand it. I
might get shot, and some guerilla might have the
Pleasure of turning me over, and if I - don't. why I
shall have the pleasure of turning over slime of
them. Contrary to what I WAS always led to be
lieve. the men work twice as easy Imre than at
home,"
Another recruit, writing to his " Dear Parents,"
from Ga limp Island, Boston Harbor, March 1748,
says : " It took us fourteen days to come to Portland,
and when we lauded there were hundreds of civilians
there to meet us, and they gave us Lrandy, whiAk*.,
pies, puddings, segars, or anything we wished, for to
enlist along with them. Faith, we took all we got,
and did not go with them after all. Feony brought us
over with the intention of making us drunk, and en
listing-us after, but he was disappointed, fur any of us
that did list was not with him. ' l ` aThe
bounty was very tempting, and I enlisted the first
day I came here. I have sent you in this letter *360.
There is a good many of the batch enlisted, and it

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1864:

coining election.
Mr. DOOLITTLE said he knew these Indian bills
were more important.
Mr. WILLEY hoped the bia would be Postponed.
There was no necessity- for actiall on it. The Inettoll to
Poutpone• rejected—yeas 14, nays 21.
Mr. WILLEI then addressed the Senate at sense
length in opposition to the bill till the close or the morn
ing hour, St hen the national hank bill came up in order.
Afr:SHERMAN called for the rending of a lattor from
!:ecretary Chase, dated the 2,1 insttant, addro. - ml to Mr.
Fm. , :enden, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,
and which had been referred to iu the course of debate
yeiderda Y.
Th e pending Tnestion was on the amendment of Mr.
Sumnee, to increase the tax on banks established 'under
the eel, to be applied to!the payment of the interest and
principal of the public debt.
Mr. SHERRIAN said the amount of taxes imposed by
the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts
was greater t that proposed by the Finance Com
mittee: but as this WHO purel y a national tax, he should
vote for it in order to avoid any embarrassment to the
passage of the hill.
Mr. SUMNER'S amendment was rejected—yeas ii,
nays 24.
The thirtieth section of the bill, in relation to the rate
interest to be chatted by the batiks being und er Coil .
klfEll.lll.llll moved an amendment, which
makes the clause read as follows:
" That every association may charge the rate allowed
by the laws of the State or Territory where the bank is
located, and no more, except that where by the Ia WS of
any State a iii Renal rate is limited for banks of issue
organized tinder State laws, the rates so limited sham he
allowed for associations organized in any snub States
under this act."
The amendment was adopted.
Mr, CHANDLER offered so amendment to the thirt
fin't .'eCtiOnt Out the cities therein the
West, and the East, as a vailatile places for the redemption
of the circulating notes of associations under thi s act,
retaining simply - New York, Philadelphia, and Boston,
as the points of redemption, which, after debate, was
adopled.
The thirty-second section was then amentitai, tie to
conform with the preceding - one, by l!roriding that in
stead of redeeming their notes at par in said cities, cacti
bank shall select an institution in either of the cities
named, at which its circulation shalt be redeemed at a
rate of discount not exceeding one-fourth of one per
cent.
I't HENPERSON moved to tuneful the f vrenl l —„ e , ond
section by striking out tho limit of $300,00d.000 for cir
culating notes under the act, and inserting the word:,
:The al.llollllt 110 W authorized to be issued by tI
yComp
troller to bank. already created under the act. "
. •
Mr, DOOLITTLE raid that he desired to offer an
amendment which would - restrain this over-ismte of
paper money.
The total amount of our circulation in paper and gold
was already nearly $800,000,000, and now this bill pro
posed to authorize the issue of three hundred millions
more based on United States bonds. The It rot of all Coll
:411ClItti011,i , 11011111 now be the stopping of the tanking of
another paper dollar unless it was made to take the
place of other paper money now in circulation. To au
thorize the unlimited issue of this new national cur
rency, while the Suite bank currency is still in circula
tion, was preposterous. lle thought his amendment
'would servo Mr. liendorson's purpose.
It provides that no bank shall issue any new noSes
after the passage of the art, except National notes, te be
redeemable in gold and silver coin on demand, and also
that every bank shall reduce the amount of their circu
lation to the amount of cash capital paid in. and.—tier
cent: added thereto on the a thou at secured by pledge of
United States or ;State stocks, on penalty of a tax of one
per cent. per mouth on :ill excess of circulation. •
Mr. IFENDERSON supported his amendment at don
siderable length, contending it would have the effect to
prevent the inflation of lager currency. He. -untended
that it was not the State bnks hich cawed the preaent
innatitn tof the currency, but the enormous amount of
(foi - einment issue; and it was II 11.1114. because the State
banks were at this moment unable to redeem their notes
in gold On demand, that they should be driven from ex
istence, and an issue of no better character substituted.
Me cited the 'case of the Bank of Commerce of New
York, which, now with nearly two million of coin in
its va u lts,
lts, has o clrZmlatiou of onlY seventeen hundred
dollars, and yet under this hill, while - pretending to
complain of inflation, she will be allowed and induced
to issue over nine millions of dollars.
The Senate then adjourned.

Btairim Seat.
Bfr. DAWES, of Massachusetts, from the Committee
on Elections, reported two resolutions, which lie over
for the present; one declaring that F. F. Blair is not,
and the other that Mr: Knox. the contestant. is entitled
to 0 seat as Representative from the First Congressional
district ot' Missouri.
On motion of Mr. FARNSWORTH,_of Illinois, it was
resolved that when the House adjourn to-day, it ho till
Monday.
The Missouri -Elections,
Mr. GANSON, of New York, called up the resolution
of the Committee on Elections declaring that neither Mr.
moan, the sitting member, nor Mr. Bruce, the contestant,
is entitled to a seat as Representative of the Seventh
Congressional District of Missouri.
lira GANSON, of New York, in supporting the rcsoln-
Oen, said that a majority of the committee had, after a
review oral" the testimony, conic to the conclaSiOß that
the interference of a portion of the armed militia in this
district was to such an extent directed against the con
testant as to render the election a nullity; and, there
fore, they bad concluded to refer both . genii omen back
to the people, in order that there may be a full and fair
expression of their preferences.
Mr. UI'SON, of Michigan, a member of the. Commit tee
on Elections, made a speech sustaining the views of the
minority, namely, that Mr. Loan is entitled to retain
his seat. He maintained, from the testimony, that there
was nothing to show that in the districts especially
named, there was anything done to work prejudice to
the contestant.
Mr. SMITHEItS, of Delaware, of the minority of the
Committee, argued, from the evidence, that with one or
two exceptions, the election was conducted with fair
ness, and that the inferior officers manifested no other
desire than to secure a fair expression or num is will. He
claimed that Loan wasiontitled to retain his seat.
Mr. DAWES, of Massachusetts, spoke of the ditty of
keeping treason away from the ballot box, as through
this, owing to nue Peenliar inatitittiona, the Govern
ment might be injured in its vital parts. The Executive
should not only keep treason away, but give instruc
tions against dictating and controlling more or less the
result of any elections. The Mouse owed it to them
selves to accept the eonditionof things as now exhibited
to see that no parties come here unless with the free
voice of the people, and to accept the fact as shown by
the testimony that in Otis case. there has been no valid
election. He could not see how any Massachnsetts man
could reconcile it to his constituents to give a rote here
in affirmation of the position occupied by the minority
of the counnittee.
Mr. ELIOT, of Massachusetts, - was at a less to know
why his colleagne had directed this remark to him, -but
he could say he had carefully read the testimony, and
had come to the conclusion to vote for retaining the sit
ting Melt - titer. - • - -
Mr. DAVIS', of Maryland, wished to kribw what the
judgment of the people of Massachusetts had to do - with
the discussion of the question here.
Mr. DANES, of Massachusetts, said he had. uttered
no such sentiment.
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, repeated, lie understood the
F,cntleman as asking hew any Massachusetts man could
justify- stmt. a vote after he reached home.
Mr. DANES, of Massachusetts, could not understand
why soldiers should control the polls when lie consi
dered that in Massachusetts they were free, and town
meetings were opened with prayer. He could not un
derstand why men approached the ballot-box through
files of bayonets or at their points; but lie could under
stand how the gentlemen from Delaware and Maryland
could take their views font a stand-point different
froln his own. -
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, asked for the evidence of
such elections in those States.
Mr. SMITHERS ' of. Delaware, said the gentle - man
from Massachusetts had,. during his remarks, Minded td
him in a znammr which he was sure the gentleman
would, on reflection, feel sorry, and had alluded to the
Delaware election in no complimentary terms. lie
- wished to know whether the gentleman alluded to him
Mr. DAWES replied,. with all frankness that the re
lations between mut and the gentleman load always
been friendly, and Should continue sneh. The gentle
man had no right to take any remark he uttered in an
offensive sense.
Mr. SMITHERS. With that explanation I amperfectly
satisfied.
Mr. DARES, resuming, said he had alluded to Dela
ware and Maryland without desi-miug any. offence. His
friend front Maryland could not C!c, expected to see the
same way as others on this question.
Mr. SUMMERS, of Delaware, denied tayt he had im
pu.med the voting in Massachusetts.
Mr. WHALEY, of West Virginia, said the gentle
man had opposed the admission to seats of members
South,
111aon and Dixon line. Was that tic policy y
if so, he had better join the gentlemen from Ohio and
Maryland, namely, Lung aml Harris.. Did the gentle
man want to have himself placed on the McClellan ticket
for Vice President. -
. .
Mr. DAWES replied, if he could not succeed by more
votes than the gentleman represented in the last Con
gl'esg, it Nva. , not ch,drable to have him on ony ticket.
As to being opposed to members being admitted from
South of Mason and Dixon's line, he had only to say
that he exerted his full power to have the two members
from Louisiana admitted to the last Congress, and also
the two members from Teune,,ee, because they were
the free choice et' their rv,spective districts by a oullicient
number of

Mr. WIIALEY, resurni DX, spoke of the loyalty of his
mountain district, and pia there were four thousand

who had not an opp9rtnnity TO vote for him. Were the
volunteers of that district at home he believed he could
get s. large a vote at the ,—entleama from o,

The principle upon which it is constructed will be

SPECIAL NOTICES.
RENEWING INFLURNCE OP SPRING.
BY Till BMW OI.TOWER. BALL.
Such is Spring's power of renovation.
Such magic in her touch% fouud.
That it appears a new creation
Which now is circling Uri around.
No tree puts on its last year's suit.
TO meet the gazing public's view.
And earth's green robe, beyond dispute,
Will be entirely fresh and new.
ThE smallest plant nood not mans tin
Nor scow• last season's old array,
And insects, that on honey sup,
nave clothing novel as 'tis gay.
Batch;a worn-out snit of clothes
To loan belonging, feels in vain
The ray of Spring that cheering glows:
It never, never, blooms again!
It proves that saying old, a true one.
Which is to worn-out things applied,
It must be " mended with a new oac,'
Aud there's no remedy beside.
So that your own looks may be found
According with this lively scene,
Haste where good clothes do most aboard.
You know 'tis Tower Hall I mean !

hair to its original dark color, and the hue appears to be
Permanent. I am satisfied that the preparation is
nothing like a dye, but operates. on ,the seerctionS. It
is also a beautiful hair dressing, and promotes the
growth. I purchased the first bottle from Edward B.
Garrigues, Druggist, Tenth and Coates streets; Rho can
also testify my hair was very gray whoa I . commenced
its use. MRS. MILLER,
No, 730 North Ninth &root, Phan.

linen; restores gray hair, promotes a luxuriant growth
of new hair. As a dressing, it has no superior. Single

HOYT'S HIAWATHA HAIR RESTORATIVE.
In Longfellow's Poem Hiawatha was adjudged to
haVe conferred the greatest boon on his tribe because
he brought to its notice corn. Every one will admit
that our preparation is worthy of its name, for the be
nefits it confers when it is known.
WHAT THE WIAWATHA DOES.
It restores faded and gray hair and whiskers to their
original color. It brings up the natural shading of one
hair with another, thus giving the hair a perfect life
appearance, so that the most critical observer cannot
"detect its use. It makes harsh hair soft and silky, stops
its falling out, cleanses it and the scalp from all impu
rities, is as readily applied and wiped from the skin as
any hair dressing, and entirely overcomes the bad ef
fects of previous use of preparations containing sulphur,
sugar of lead. &c.
The proprietors of the Hiawatha published the fol
lowing challenge to test in the New York dailies three
weeks, which
WAS NEVER ACCEPTED:
Let some well known and disinterested persons ap
point one to the proprietor of each preparation for the
hair to bring up the color. Every proprietor to use
nothing but his own preparation, and the person
nothing also during the test. A certificate of the re-
sult to be widely published at the expense of the un
successful competitors. Sold everywhere.

lished a Card, in The PrESR, returning thanks to Rev..
Dr. CARDEN, for a Lecture delivered before them in
the Kensington Presbyterian Church; and as there i 3
vote of censure against Rev. • Mr. JOHNSTON. Placing
him in a wrong position, we therthre wish to n/ltea
the matter iu its trite light:
The lecture was - the Revolution is England. of 1688.
denouncing James the Second and the intrigues of the,
Papacy.
• At the close of his lecture he turned the subject to Ira ,
land, and gave his advice to the A. P. A. to unite with
the Roman Catholics to rid Ireland of the English Go
vernment; to hoist the green flag of Ireland, and pull
down the national flag of Great Britain.
There were the sentiments which the Rev. Mr, :Mini-
Frox took exceptions to, coil not to the patriotic seuti
-Iments of the Lecture, at published in die card.
