MOL'DED COLLARS
Rave now been before the public - for nearly a year.
They are universally pronounced the neatest and best
fitting collars extant..
The upper edge presents a perfect care, free from the
angles noticed in all other collars.
The cravat causes no packers on the inside of the turn
down collar—they are AS SMOOTH INSIDE AS OUT
SIDE—and therefore perfectly free and easy to the neck.
.The Garotte Collar has a smooth and evenly-finished
edge on. BOTH SIDES.
These Collars are not simply flat pieces of paper cut
in the form of a collar, but are MOULDED AND SHAPED
TO FIT THE NECK.
They are mad/ " Novelty" (or tarn-down style,)
iat every half size from ii to 17 inches, and in " Eu
reka" (or Garotte,) from 13 to 17 inches, and packed in.
"solid sizes," in neat bine cartoons, containgloo each;
also, in smaller ones of 10 each—the latter avery handy
Package for Travellers, Army and Navy Officers.

The V. K. Christian COIIIIMISSiOIk on (ho
Field.
The following intoresting account of the work of
the Christian Commission among the wounded at
Belle Plain and Fredericksburg is froin the pen of
John Y. Foster, Esq., of Harper's Weekly, who has
been spending a short term as delegate of tho Com
mission :
Geo. H. Stuart, President Christian Commission:
just returned from a Week'S labor as a delegate
of the Commission, among the sick and wounded
soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, I hasten to re
port to you what 1 have seen and know of the condi
tion Of affairs. In that now important field.
ln company with Dr. George S. Ward, of Newark,
N. J., and - Mr. Paul_ A. Davis of Philadelphia, I
reached Washington on the morning of Wednes
day, May 11th. There we were joined by some
fifteen or more other delegates; and at four o'clock
in the afternoon left by steamer for Belle Plain,
General Grant's bas&of supplies, taking with us a
large quantity of hospital stores. OWing to delays,
we did not reachßelle Plain until the followingday.
We landed at Belle Plain at seven o'clock that
evening. Such a scene as there presented itself
probably was never before witnessed in this or any
land. The whole hill-side was literally, crowded
with wounded, many lying in the mud without
shelter, exposed to the pelting rain; many lithping
through the gloom in search of a refuge ; many
crouching -4, in the dripping thickets; many lying
right at the river's edge, with the flodd creeping to
their very feet. In all, not less than 10,000 sick and
wounded Men were thus grouped along the dark and
desolate hills, most of whom had. not tasted food
for forty-eight hours, and many of whom had re
ceived no medical attention whatever from the time
iof leaving the battle-field. The delegates, imme
diately upon getting our stores, proceeded earnestly
to the work of relief; furnishing coffee, food, and
stimulants; washing and cleansing tke wounded,
and in every way possible ministering to their com
fort. This was done, for the most part, in the midst
of a driving rain, the delegates wading froin tent to
tent in a very Slough of Despond. Everywhere we
were welcomed with blessings; and it was a plea
sure of the purest type and character to contribute
to the consolation of the brave men who, suffering
for liberty, submitted 1,0 every pain and hurt with
out a single murmur or complaint.
The force of workers having been increased by
fresh arrivals, several of us proceeded on Friday to
Fredericksburg, where assistance was urgently
needed. - Here we sound, every house filled with
wounded—not less than scion thousand in all. The
Commission had several days before establishedlts
headquarters, in a large building- on a principal
street; and from thence supplies were furnished to
the hospitals, which, but:for this, would have been
comparatively destitute of necessary stores. By
Friday night over delegates were hard at work
in the hospitals, and by Sunday noon, with a largely
increased force, the work had ,been perfectly sys
tematized, and every hospital was under excellent
discipline, and supplied with everything necessary
for present oyerations. 'Among the delegates were
several surgeonS, who were promptly assigned by
the Medical Director, and labored night and day
among the wounded, whose comfort they prothoted
largely.
When we left the field 'supplies were still coming
forward, and delegates constantly arriving. But
trains of wounded were also coming in, and the de
mand for help was increasing. In coming up, we
aided in caring- for a boat boat of wounded, from
Belle Plain to Washington, dressing some of their
Wounds, and furnishing such food as we could pro
vide.
' There are to-day in Virginia, and about Wash
ington, at least 30,000 men who are in need of help
from this Commission. Body and soul invite Chris
tian labor and, sympathy. They expect our aid.
They have learned to look for the Commission
wherever pain is to be relieved ; our badge is every
where a passport to their favor. We must not dis
appoint their expectation. The Christian men and
Women of the North owe it to our gallant, loyal,
smiled defenders, to minister, in every emergency, to
their necessities, whether physical or spiritual:
'. Help is. needed ; supplies are needed; shirts,
drawers, stores of every description. Every loyal
woman's nimble finger should be employed in this
behalf. Every loyal man's purse should be
opened in this cause. The necessity, already great,
will
-yet be augmented. The desperate, decisive bat
tles are yet to be fought. Thousands of men must
yet fall, We must prepare for their relief. And
every woman who gives a day:s work in providing
clothing ; every man who gives a dime out of his
fullness ; every boy, every girl who may contribute
to your Commissien fund will earn a recompense
which, in coming years, shall sweeten every cup,
brighten every sorrow, and make the' darkest "day
beautiful with the' memory of good deeds kindly
done for freedom's sake..
Very truly Touts,
MAX 17, 1864.
The Forged Despatch
To the Editor of Tee Press:
: The circumstances attending the dissemina
tion of the forged proclamation of "May 17," pur
porting to proceed from the President of the United
States, and published as such by the World, Herald,
and Journal of Commerce, of New York city, all
Point to its perpetration by one familiar with news
paper-office business. The use of "manifold"-writ
ten. MS.; the delivery at a late hour, not long before
going to press.; the precision of the language ; the
imitation of the official-style : All denote the class
among whom the police authorities should look for
the authorship.
With a view of aiding in the discovery of the cri
minal I would suggest that an original of this forged
proclamation, in the manifold writing, should be
submitted to a committee of gentlemen of the press
in New York city, so that they may decide as to the
identity of the handwriting. Manifold writing is
done upon oiled papor,With a stylus, and none but
an adept in the use of that instrument can produce
MS. of this kind. The number of known manifold
writers is comparatively small; the peculiarities
of appearance in the writing of each are well
known. Generally, there - are no manifold writers
in newspaper offices.: The Associated Press, in New
York and elsewhere,
,employs.them. Police and
items" reporters, and commercial and market
news writers, comprise nearly all those who use this
means of reduplicating copy. The field of inquiry
being thus narrow, it to be hoped that the dis
honest newsmonger In -this instance will be traced
and . punished.
I am, sir, yours truly, PEN-HOLDER.
The,Mendacity of Sloveholders.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin : Where int/nifty has long abounded, and be
come nearly universal; and where' crime has for an
extended period been enacted on a stupendous scale;
where, in a word, large communities have come
with one accord to "call good evil, and evil , good,"
it is not an easy thing to individualize ; but ifthe
thing be at all pessible, from the most salient of
Southern communities, during the last few years,
after cruelty, which is their overshadowing abomi
nation, we should next instance their mendacity.
Were it not that a people who, in this nineteenth
century, could deliberately undertake to .6:instruct
on the ruins of a Republic like ours a now system
based on human slavery, might be supposed capable
of any atrocity, we should be astounded on reading,
as we do, the nefarious utterances of the newspaper
writers of Richmond. And even yet the affluence
of their imagination in coining original and utterly
baseless falsehoods, together with the copiousness
with which they pour them forth, is a secret, nay; a
marvel to us. But amp/3g the most towering of
their efforts in this line, is their charge upon the
Government and the people of the Notthern States
of the crime of inaugurating this war ! Why not
assert, at once, that it was the insurgent North, ori
- still worse, the Administraticin of President Lincoln
that planted the first batteries in 1161, and opened
fire on the legitimate Government of Jefferson
Davis?
Were the ordinary thief, burglar, and cut-throat,
after a prOtracted immunity In his crimes, to
charge upon the ministers of justice, who at last
started - out for his arrest, the authorship of all his
mischief, we think - that lookers-on would be likely to
stare. Yet .oven such a dodge among the vulgar
rout of criminals would but precisely parallel the
audaerity of the slaveholders - who, three years ago,
actually appropriated the posts of honor, with large
amounts of public property and treasure, which we
had confided to them; to their own private uso; and
for our destruction—asserting vociferously, mean.
while, that we mere the gitilty betrayers of trust.
We certainly can conceive of no truer Way of
stating their case than this, or anything fairer than
the above cOniparison. Yet still these mendacious
robbers and murderers on a huge scale, through their
Bichmond organs; are thus daily venting upon us
.the vilest epithets- and the grossest abuse as the au-;
there of this war, the invaders of their homes, and as
having been guilty towards them or every crime in
the whole calendar of sin. M.
RESACA.—This place, to which so groat a share i
of public attention is now directed, s almost due
south from Chattanooga and distant from it by
- railroad fifty-six miles. It is situated in Gordon
county, Georgia, on the north bank of the Coosa
wattee river t which flows southwest, - changes its
name to the Oostalantee, and joins Etowah at Rome,
the two forming the Coosa, which, joining the Tali:l-
om, forms tho Alabama, and flows into the Gulf
at Mobile.
The railroad bridge at Resaca, destroyed by the
rebels on their retreat, is one of the most important,
we believe the most important, on the Western
and Atlantic Railway. If our recollection is ac
curate it is six hundred feet long. The dietance
from lieSaca to Atlanta is eighty-two miles by rail,
and the country is much more favorable for our ope
rations than that from Chattanooga to Resacca.
We believe it safe to say that more titan half of the
diflie - ultles of a March from Chattanooga to Atlanta
are already overcome. -
The statement that our forces are In pursuit of
Johnston beyond Basun indicates that no difficulty
was experienced in crossing the Coosawatteo river.
The next important stream is the .Etowah, forty
miles ahead, and here are situated the most exten
sive Iron-works in the State. Sherman , s army is
now in the country whose rivers flow into the Gulf.
He holds the whole of - the famous railroad triangle,
of which the towns of Chattanooga, Cleveland, and
Dalton marked the angleS, and which was about as
nefirlV.the "heart of the Southern Confederacy); MS
could be found-On the map: Its very great -impor
tance has boon universally recognized. The city of
Atlanta, now directly menhcled, is looked upon in
Europe, as well as America, as the most Important
place in possession of the rebels, Richmond not ex
cepted. The country on the line of Sherman's march
swarms with negroes, driven by their masters from
Tenliesee and _Mississippi, and the towns contain
their boasted manufactories.. Rome Is southwest of
Rowe, and twenty or thirty miles from the main
line of railroad. lf Johnston -continues his retreat
toward Atlanta, Rome will fall into our possession
without a .serious strukgle. WO may count upon it
that •.Sherman will move with rapidity. His army
is stripped fot a'racci, and. the intention is to subsist
chiefly on what. the 'country • affords.—Cincinnati

To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
Sin: Will you oblige us by publishing in your
columns the following , statement of the proceedings
of the Government this evening toward the World
and the Journal of Commerce rewarding the publica
tion in our morning's issue of the forged proclama
tion,
.purporting to be signed by President Lincoln,
appointing a day of fasting and prayer, and calling
into the military service 400,000 men.
The document in question was written on thin
manifold paper, such as is used Torun the despatch
es sent to the several newspapers of our association,
and had every external appearance and mark to
identify it as a genuine despatch, arriving . in the re
gular course of business. '
It was delivered at our office late at night at the
time of the receipt of our latest news, too late, of
course, for editorial supervision, but, as it hap
pened, not before our printing offices were closed.
It was delivered at all, or-nearly all, of the_news
paper offices, and was published in a part of the
Journal of Commerce and World, and as we aro in
formed, in a part of the editions of one or more of
our cotemporaries.
Early this morning the fact that the despatch had
not been - sent by the agent of the Associated
Press became known to us, and its fraudulent
character was at once announced upon our bulletin
boards, and a reward of t 500 offered by us for the
discovery of the forger.
The Executive Committee of the Associated
Press also offered a similar reward of C 5,1,000, as the
fraud had been attempted to be perpetrated, upon
all the journals composing our association. '
We took pains in the afternoon to apprise Gen.
Dix of the 'acts in the case, and ga v e him such in
formation in regard to the circumstances of the
forgery as might assist him in the discovery..of its
author. The Government was at once put in pos
session of the facts in the case.
Nevertheless, this evening, Gen. Dlx, acting un
der peremptory orders from the Government, placed
our offices under a strong military guard, and is
sued warrants for the arrest of the editerS and pro
prietors of The World and Journal of Coinmerce, and
their imprisonment in Fort Lafayette.
vessel was lying under steam atone of the
wharves, to convoy us thither.
Chancing to meet one of the officers of General
Dix's stair, charged with the execution of this order,
we proceeded in his company to tho headquarters of
the Department Cif the East, and Were informed by
General Dix that the order for our arrest had been
suspended, hut that the order for the suppresSion of
the publication of The World and Journal of Com
merce had not been rescinded, and that we could not
be permitted to enter our offices, which continue
- under the charge of the military guards.
We protest against this proceeding. We nrotest
against the assumption of our complicity with this
shameless forgery implied in the order for our
arrest. •
We protest against the suppresslen of our journals
for the misfortune of being deceived by a Ihrkery
not less ingenious nor plausible than the forged re
port of the Confederate Secretary, or War, which
becretary SeWatd made the basis of diplomatic ac

To the Editor of the N. I% Tribune:
Sin:, The following leading editorial was pre
pared for the Journal of commerce of Thursday
Morning. As it cannot appear in that paper, in
consequence of its suppression by the United States
authorities, you would confer a favor by inserting it

[From the N. N. Tribune of yesterday morning.) •
YXCITEMI:NT AgAINST THE JQIYUNAL OF COll.
'MERGE.
There was a good deal - of excitement hi; the city
relative to the imposition. About ri - o!clock in the
morning a large crowd, composed almost entirely of
merchants_doing business down town, and particu
larly in th neighborhood of Wall street, assembled
in front of the office of the Journal of Commerce,
corner of Wall and Water streets, and demanded
that the proprietors of the paper should forthwith
contradict the reported proclamation publiStied in
its columns. - ,
Mr. Wade. of tho firm of Grinnell,Minium, &
Co., with other prominent merchants, on behalf of
the assemblage, waited upon the proprietors and
showed them a despatch direct from Washington to
,the Board of Brokers, denying the proclamation.
The proprietors insisted upon the genuineness of
the proclamation, and refused to contradict on their
bulletin - the report, stating that it was authentic
from the Associated Press. They still persisted, not
withstanding one or their own employees brought
a denial from Mr. Craig,. agent of tho Associated
Press.
The excitement occasioned by this obstinacy on
the part of the Journal continued to increase, and it
was not until violent demonstrations were made,
particillarlyagainst Mr. Stone (ono of the 'proprie
tors), that the paper consented tei issue a bulletin
denying the whole -affair. This had the' - desired
effect, and the crowd retired. During the excite

Tfie bayonet Charge.
[Prom the Montrose (Pa. ) Independent Republican.]
Bark to the batteries disputing in thunder— •
Shell over tree top and shot rattling under,
Piolaity cover the path of the foe
Down through the forest aisles, lofty and large.
There's a look on the face of our leader I know,
And I wait the dread order. Fix" bayonets—charge!"
Am I less bravo fora moment's quick shiver,
Bearts of oak yonder bear light lea VOS that quiver.
I look down the lino—there's a lip turning witii e,
Set the firmer for that - , there are fixed gazing eyes
Intent ripen something, but not on the fight;
There'll a swift glance flung upward to pierce the blue
skies:
While the thunder rolls nearer, distinct thro' it all
I catch fragments of whispers, as " Boys, If I fall:"
Or thus, " Should the worst come, write horns to my
mother:"
"Tell my sister, my wife, that I died like a man.
" find in my knapsack, friend," murmurs an
other;
"A line that I scrawled when the battle began.
EtIMESE
Our colonel sits firm; with that look in Maw,"
Like a sword part unsheathed, he rides gallantly by. -
Should lie fall, made a mark for the sharpshooter's aim.
By his gay epaulette with its golden encrust,
There'll be trumpet-loud voices to herald-his fame--
But I ate a private—the commonest dast!
For fame do T fight? Lord of Mats, does not he
Who battles for right ever battle for Thee!
There are graves trodden level that love seeks in vain,
Yield in honor by angels, Alike in thy sight
The poorest who carves for the red stripes their stain,
And the leader who falls in the van of th.o light.
They are coming—they come! Shifting sunbeams reveal
Their gray through the leaves by the glitter of steel.
They swarm to the light, through the tree holeE, they
swarm
Out from the forest aisles, lofty and large.
Our colonel turns pale, drops his beckoning arms,
Bat hark, boys, the order, "-Fix bayonets—charge:",
The following letter was received by M. Victor
Hugo on the 2(.1 of May

THE LAST Or DIETTAMERII—TIin AIMAISGE-
N - EicTS rail HIS FunErtAL.—A private letter from
Paris, received here, gives some particulars of the
funeral ceremonies 17y which it was 'intended to
honor the memory of Meyerbeer.
A committee was' appointed fo take the matter
in charge. It consisted of Anber, the composer ;
of Jules Beer, a 'nephew of the deceased ; of Mes
sieurs Camille Doucet. Saint Georges, Emil Perrin,
Georges hastier, Edouard Monnais, Louis Bran
dus, the Baron Taylor, and Fiorentino,• the news
paper musical critic.
Meyerbeer died on Monday the 2d, and after lying
instate in Paris three days, the body was on Friday,
the 6th, at raion, removed from his house, No. 2 Rue
de la Montaigne, and conveyed, followed by a large
funeral procession, to the station of the Northern
Railway.
Serviees took place here, and several funeral dis
courses were pronounced. A special train then left
for Berlin with the remains. Several members of
the committee went with them as far as the French
frontier, Mr. Jules Beer continuing on to Berlin.
On Monday, the 9th of IVlay, the final obsequies
welt: to take place at Berlin, after which the body
would be deposited in the family vault.
Meyerbeer's will would be opened by his direction
at Berlin. As yet no one knows what disposition he
therein makes of his property.—New York, Post.
A DUEL nearly came off at Karseilles between two
members of the Japanese Embassy now on their
journey. The parties in the quarrel placed two bal
lots in a hat, on one of which was written " deiith."
He who drew this was bound to retire to a room and
commit suicide. This was satisfaction to the survi
vor. The affair was, however, nipped in the bud by
the interference of some French gentlemen, who
could not see the propriety of such an arrangement.

at Washington. it is handsomely painted on

DEATH OF A SCHUYLKILL COUNTY MILLIONAIRE.
—Mr. Richard Rear, coal operator, died at his resi
dence in Miners - vine, this county, on the 6th instant,
aged fifty-eight years. Mr. Rear at the time of his
death owned property valued at $1,000,000. He
came to this region in 1829 and worked as a miner
at days' wages, until. IBS when he commenced
working a small colliery of his own. Between that
and 1845 he met with the " ups and downs" incident
to the busineSs, and was sold out twice by the
sheriff. The last tinMhis'nroperty was bought in
for him, and in 1849 he commenced prospering, and
froth that period to the time of his death his accu
mulations amounted to the sum stated above. In
his will Mr. Rear left his foreman who had' been
with him a long time, $5,000, and his clerk, Mr.
-Wetzman, who for some years conducted his entire
business 3 $2,000. The residue of the property goes
to his relatives, twelve In number; among whom it
will be equally divided. Mr. Rear was a bachelor,
and lived very economically. It is thought that his
personal expenses did not exceed $4OO a year. The
executors of his will are Mr. Wetzman and Mr.
Michael Bright.—Miners' Journal.

FINANCIAL AND conincin,
• We think we can see aPproaching another Amore
in the stock market. For the past few weeks there has
been a comparative lull after the great panic which so
forcibly broke up the spirit of -epeculation, and swept
away in a day the fortunes of thousands. The conta- :
gion, it will be remembered, spread itself far and. wide,
and carried away many who had heretofore never knowo
of the existence of a stock hoard. Females, it was
well known, Presented themselves at brokers'
offices, and i ovith the monv they hadjust drawn from the
SavingFund,offered to go into the market as purchasers
of stocks, about which they could have known nothing,
and, if they did, it would be to find that they were ut
terly worthless. Savings that had been laid by for
years were withdrawn from safe and steady invest
ments, and hazarded entirely upon the prospect of a rise
in .price of wild-cat companies, which men of caution
and experience had not nor would not venture to touch.
The excitement, however, was upon the people, and
particularly that class of the people who know
nothing of the tricks of speculators, and the
occasion Was duly 'improved to bring out stock
after stook, till the crash came, and alt went.
under. The knowing ones reaped a golden
harvest, and the innocent suit ignorant became vic
tims. The shock was felt, and for four or five weeks
the stock list of the Board of Brokers exhibited mea , rre
sales, ant they were only of the securities of -the better
character. In spite of thee terrible lesson, the same
thing is about being repeated. Mining companies and
oil companies are starting forth anew, and no questions
are asked as to their integrity or value. New names
appear on the list, some that can be pronounced, and
those which native. Indians only, could. accentuate pro
perly. They are supposed. to have some real standing
from the pompous appellations by which they are de
signated. Faze? , railroad shares that have long been.
on the marker, and known undversally to have little or
no value whatever,:that -pay no dividends and which
expect to pay none; are run up for specrdative pnr
poses, and the business of buying and selling stocks is
reduced to the ordinary occupation of gambling. The
recent panic and downfall in prices have evidently
failed to produce the effect that was expected. A word
to thee. wise is generally sufficient, and to the un
initiated would we give this word. of caution. It
would lie as great an injustice to class all the low
priced stocks in the same category as it would be to say
that any two stocks quoted at the same high price are of
the same intrinsic value. Many of the recent - oil com
panieshave been started upon a firm and. solid basis.
While their circulars may possibly exaggerate the re
sources which the companies claim, yet it will be found
that they, in teeny instances, fully justify the quota
tion of the stock. The oil resources of Pennsyl
vania are, it might be said, inexhaustible, and are
destined to occupy in our political economY , a place
no less renowned than coal andiron. It is stated
that the yield of the Pennsylvania petroleum wells, in
the beginning of 1568, amounted to about 4,00 to 4,000
barrels a day. During the spring, in spite of low prices,
the production was already equal from 0,000 WO,OOO
barrels, and it continued to increase, when the high
prices titling for the article, from June to October,
stimulated • the search for oil. In the fall the quantity
gained amounted at times from .6,000 to 10,000 barrels
daily Potnpine• wells, if they only yield a few ivrreds
day, may not be worked when the market value of oil is
low; but, as a general thing, wells which give about ten
barrels daily van be pumped with advantage sollong
oil, is worth $1 per 40 gallons at the place of produe
don, where prices ruled from $1.70 to $7.50 during the
year. It is impossible to give an exact figure for the
quantity prodneetl in 15.63;;but, according to the best
information at hand,.it milk' have amounted to about
2,000,000 barrels., net. — Tins'production,. giving a daily
average of about 0,300 rbarrels, net, surpassed. the de
.
mend, and we have now a larger quantity of oil in the
United States than at the beginning of 'last year. The
yield of oil during this year may possibly even double
this; so that it will be seen that where companies are
organized for the honest purpose of developing this
great wealth, the result cannot but be profitable to tho
holders-of the stock. This fact reuders it all the more
important to watch vigilantly those organizations that
would seek to cover up their fraud by the trustworthi
.
