SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1864.
The Newspaper Press.
It is a very easy thing to be sarcastic or
severe at the expense of a Christian or a
woman. The profession of one and the
sex of the other make retaliation impossible.
We might say the same of the newspaper
press, for its duty is not personal, but with
the public. A newspaper man is generally
understood by certain'people of dignity and
consequence—politicians, quartermasters'
clerks, and writers of imprinted rhymes—to
be a fair subject for ridicule and contumely.
We hear a great deal of glibly-spoken cant
on this subject in club-houses and bar
rooms. It is always understood that every,
newspaper has its price. It is a safe thing
to affirm that newspaper editors are very
common people, without standing or re
spectability. A newspaper reporter should
never be admitted into a respectable house
unless proper precautions have been taken
about the spoons, Mr. DICKENS has pie
lured these gentlemen With frayed cuffs and
well-worn linen, very much as the old sati
rists were wont to speak of Joitxsox,
'vikor., 017" and the Grub-street Writers.
Suddenly-rich men of easy,integrity,who
have made money out of the war and fancy .
stocks, speak of ownincr b their newspaper
man as they would speak of owning a yacht
or a carriage, They dine and feaSt their
creature, and pay his way to public places,
and having made him drunk on indifferent
wine, put him in the nearest railroad car
and send him home. - Such a thing as a
newspaper man being a gentleman is en
tirely out of the question ; it is not fashion
ahle to think so. He may be a " hack
writer," or "a scribbler," or " a penny-a
liner," or a very cOmnion person, but not
a gentleman, He Wields a vast, mysteri
ous, inexorable power ; he has the magic
wand that lifts up and pulls down; - and;
therefore, he is to he feared. Sensible Men
respect the man. Our snobs only sneer at
We ventured, a day - or two sinee, to
speak in behalf of Our profession some
words of criticism upon the circular of an
army officer, in which a very harsh attack
was made upon the -newspaper profesSion.
Our remarks have offended some sensitive
Corresp6ndents, who write us in detail, and
in one or two cases without that regard to
orthography and syntax which' we should
like to see in this country of grammar
schools, their protests against our argu
ments. One writer thinks it shows "bad
temper and "an unusual want of judg
ment to say that the gentlemen of the
army at all compare with the gentlemen of
the press. Another thinks the influence of
"correspondents, taken altogether, is deci
dedly hUrtful.'! Not long since, an indig
nant painter-of pictureS in oitwrote a card
denouncing the Tribune for daring to criti
cise Ale art:collection in the Sanitary Fair:
We regall a poor, wordy, feebly-written
communication, that went its way,at the
time to the waste-basket; and is now doing
duty income store or rag-mill, which took
us to task, about three weeks tigo, for
daring to print an elaborate criticism
on a new opera. 'The writer was indig
nant. What presumption 1 What folly !:
What ignOrance ! Whitt do neWspapers
know :about painting and music, color.
and harmony ? As long as they: say
that Mr. JONES paints like RAPHAEL,
and Mr. SMITH composes like MozsitT, they
are doing their duty. It is very important
they should say so, for Mr. JoN'EP wants
people to come and buy his pictures in oil,
and Mr: SMITH wishes them to go into
rhapsodies over -his symphonies and songs ;
and as people read what these vulgar
newspaper men *rite, and actually believe
them, it is.absolutely necessary they' should
say :these things. Money is no object.
Tell Mr. Simi' or Mr. JoiEs the price,
and he will pay it. Nay, more :he will
write his own praises in true editorial style,
and assure the world-that his genius is as
tonishing. This is laudable, for it is called
business. But to venture an opinion, to
criticise or suggest, is vulgar and horrible,
and should not, be endured.
Our main offence with these correspond
ents is connected with the army. We have
ventured to compare the:gentlemen of the
press with the gentlemen of the army,
whiph is' "bad temper, and a want of judg
ment." Common sense would say that
there are good and bad in both. We ha've
known newspaper' men who disgraced their
profession, just as We know army officers
who halt been dismissed the service for
" conduct unbecominc , a aentleman and a
soldier." We do object to the sweeping
charges so commonly made against the
press—to the general tone of feeling - and
criticism that is supposed to indicate a
superfine respectability. Newspaper men
went into this war with the same disad
vantages that were felt ley generals and
soldiers. It t was a new business, and they
- were compeled to learn it. Some have,
failed, some have become ridiculous, others
have been base and venal. That we
say this--that, as a class, the newspaper.
writers have written the history, of this.
war. They have written it with 'a pre-
, vision, a dignity, and an eloquence that
rises in many cases to - the level of the
historian. They have shared the perils of
war. Some have been injured, sonic have
spent months in loathsome rebel prisons;
others have lost their lives. One of our own
most brilliant correspondents Came home
from Fair Oaks to die ; the Springfield Re
pUblican mourns the death of one of its
staff at Spottsylvania, and other contem,
poraries.have likewise stffered. When we
reflect that the battle accounts of,.these
campaigns have been written at midnight
in the saddle, on the march, under a tree,
and with . every diaadvantage, their accu
racy is marvellous. We cannot expect the
precision of an adjutant general, or the de
tail of an offiojel report; but we have the
impressions of an intelligent, shrewd wit
ness, who writes what he sees, and gene
rally what. is correct. What they have
written will be the true material for the
historian of this war ; and the historian
will find these hurried narratives as accu
rate in the . main as the more labored:arid
formal records of the War Office. What
would MACAULAY have given for a file of
a journal like „the London Times, detailing
from day to day the rebellion in Monmouth,
the flight of JAMEs, or the wars of MARL
BOROUGH ? • •
After all; it is with the press itself to
command - the respeat its -members should
receive. This' profession of journalism is
becoming one of the ,greatest in the world.
It is in harmony with our free institutions,
and it will, flourish. The greatest thing on
this earth, in the way of systematized ge
nius, energy, elegance, and pluck, is, the
London Times. We. hate it, for all its mag
nificent power is against this Govern
ment ; but this hate is a tribute to that
power. To our enemies it has been greater
than armies or fleets, or the aid of foreign
Powers. In, Ameiica we are rivalling
England. - We have the great dailies of
New York ; in the West, journals which
almost equal them in wealth and power.
The men who.wield this 'power have a - so
lemn duty. So great a trust shoilld be a
sacred trust, and, as from year to year it
grows in importance and dignity, we
should be more jealous of its influence and
WE have had . somauy rumors from the
Department of the Gulf that it, is refresh
ing to get a sensible and reliable para
graph, This from the New York Times
will be read with pleasure :
" In brief' therefore, I can assure your readers=
whatever they may have heard to the contrary--;
that General Banks and his army, so far from being

The Death of Joshua R. Giddings.
Another great anti-slavery leader has
gone. JosnuA R. GIDDINGS, for more than
to years a representatiA of Ohio in Con
gress, and, more than this, during his whole
life a faithful representative of. freedom,
died yesterday in Montreal. He was a man
whose integrity commanded the respect of
his enemies, and that, was a higher proof of
his worth than even the admiration of his
friends. Though an able man, JostruA R.
GIDDINGS seemed greater than he was,
and the reason of this is invaluable. He
was in earnest. His moral earnestness
inspired his intellect, and gave force to
every faculty. Without tills strong puTose
Mr. Glum - Nos would haye made no great
impression: on his age, but as ho dedicated
his life to the serv„ice of truth, few names.
will rank above his when the long conflict
with slavery is ended, and justice is done
to those who fought for the right.
A itteENT number of the London Times
contains a Jetter froth Mr. LINDSAY, P.,
who sends to that newspaper an extract of
a letter from a resident of NOV Orleans:
It is printed prominently, and is an illustra
tion of the manner in which public opinion

LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, May 27;'1.864
The National Union Convention will
assemble at Baltimore on. Tuesday, the 7th
of June. Although it is no time to talk or
to write party - politics, yet as this event
closely concerns: ll our relations, itbecomes
a topic of unavoidable, if not necessary
discussion. Happily for the nation, the
Convention will have comparatively little
work to do. The delegates will meet only
to 'ratify what the people have decided.
Mr. LiwcoLri is the popular choice for re
election, and thi..S preference has been ex
pressed With so much emphasi§, in almost
every State and district, eleePting only
those where no elections for delegateS
have been held, that the business of re
cording it will be all that the Baltimore
Convention can do on the subject
of the Presidency. There should be
equal unanimity on the platform: It is
one of thehopeful signs of these tim;. ; that
the manner in which the war shoitAl be
prosecuted 'excites so little opposition
among truly, loyal men. The strongest
measures to crush the rebellion are the
most expedient and satisfactory to the peo
ple. It is natural, however, that there
should be some personal feeling. Where
the stake is so large, and the responsibility
so great, everybody cannot be of one
opinion. But in regard to --the Baltimore
Convention, there are fewer factions and
differences than at any period in our histo
ry. General 'JaCkson was not more cer
tainly the choice of his party than Mr. Lin- 7
coin-is of the people. Those who do not
think so, and -who propose to contest his
re-election, are the men who call themselves
DemocratS, and who are to meet at Chicago
in a short time. Into this body will enter all
the partisans who sympathize with the re
bellion. There are, lam happy - to believe,
many sterling patriots who still adhere to
the shadow Or skeleton of the old Demo
craCy ; but it is a fact which these men ad
mit with sorrow and shame, that there is
not, an-enemy of the war, or a friend of the
separation of the Union, that does not act
with this party, or claim to be a Democrat.
General McClellan is the present fatorite of
the Democratic leaders. • That personage
seems to be a candidate for President with
his own full consent. . And what is the sad
side of the ph:titre:is his readiness to be the
candidate of the Politibians, who, from the
opening of the rebellion, have done no one
thing not intended to weaken the Govern
ment and to embarrass the Administra
tion which gave him his commission
and his sword I We must not leave out
of count that Mr. Lincoln has some Oppo
nent§ Who do not belong to the Deinocratic
Organization. These favor a ConVention
to be held at Cleveland on the 31st of May,
and are glad to be known as Radicals.
Their complaint is that Mr. Lincoln is too
slow, too timid, and too changeful. But they
will not hesitate when they come to choose
between him and the nominee of the Sym
pathizers. And if they should, it is time
to say that they cannot divert the current
setting so irresistibly in favor of Mr. Lin=
coin. GiVing thein full credit for sincerity.
and patriotism, they cannot fail to realize
the danger of attempting to counteract the
most unanimous eipression of public opi
nion since file clays of Washington. T
cannot anticipate any event that will inter
fere with Mr. tineoln's re-election. His
nomipation will, I believe, be followed by
a peaceful and harmonious canvass. To
postpone the Convention is only to invite
and to increase diSsensions.

TIIR KENTIICKY•CONTESTED 'ELECTION
Mr. DII7IIEIIB, of Delaware, from the Committee on
Election, called up the report heretofore made' in the
case of Mcllenry against Yeoman, which concludes with
a resolution declaring the latter entitled to retain his
seat as Representative of the attend Congressional dii.
trict of Kentucky.
Mr. SIMMERS sustained the report, which says the
charge of fraud and force and - the prescription of test
oaths, made by the coutestaut, wits not sustained, the
military orders being designed only to carry out the law
of Kentuckyotod in nowise to interfere with the freedom
of the elective franchise. Mr. Yeoman, the report says,
received a majority of the whole voting population of
the district.
Mr. 111cHENRY, the contestant, in advocating his
claims, said the certificate of the sitting member was
obtained by depriving many citizens of the elective fran
chise, by force, intimidation, bloodshed, and violence.
Ile spoke of the interference of. General Burnside, and
the reasons of the latter for declaring Kentucky under
martial law, as false, that officer having muzzled
tongues already sileutas thegrave, nod put a lock upon
the lips of those who would not bow to his sovereign
will.
Mr: MORIUIL, of Vermont, from the Committee of
Ways and-Means, reptrted the new tariff bill, the con
sideration of which was postponed till Tuesday next.
Mr. "W.ADWORTH, of Kentucky, the contested elec
tion case being resumed, made a few remarks condemn
ing and-denouncing the military orders issued in thst
:tate, affecting the erections, as arbitrary mat despotic.
But for there, lie said, his colleague would have re
ceived a large tnejorit
VOORHEES,of Indiana , of the minority of the
Committee on - Elections, gave reasons why he dissented
from the majority of the committee, and proceeded to
show that the election was nut only not free in Ken.
Welty, but vastly impure, under the arbitrary will of
the oppressor. Thal-deck man had his champions here,
but he spoke in this hell as the friend of the neglected
and forgotten white man. Not only was the attempt
made to rob the contestant of his right to the seat, but to
fob him of his well-earned character for devotion to the
country, which he exhibited as a military officer at Fort
Donelson.
Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, spoke of affairs iii that
State, and the passage by its Legislature, in. 1511, of a
law expatriating those who took part with the rebel
lion or supported the Provisional Government. Those
who bad welcomed the invaders of the soil of the Com
monwealth had the brazen effrontery to attempt to over
awe and intimidate loyal men at the polls; and to elect
Sece.sionists. Therefore, lie endorsed. Burnside' s order
protecting Union men from the rebel aiders and sympa
thizers, who acted in conjunction with the traitors of
the South, and the Union men of Kentucky thought the
order right, and thht if it had not been issued Burnside
Would hare been recreant to his duty.
Everybody knew Burnside to be a good man, and
:what he - did wets for the heat. In conclusion, he said it
was the duty of every loyal man to prevent disloyalists
from voting or having anything to do with the control of
the Government.
idr. WADSWORTH controverted the position of his
Colleague, for if all who were not in favor of voting men
and money for the pro,ecution of the war were excl tided
from the polls by military fo• se in the Presidential elec
tion, the canvass would not be a peaceful one.
The way to maintain the Union was to respect all The
constitutional rights and privileges of the people. Do
this and they will put down the rebellion. He was for
war when war became a necessity, and Wil4Tet for war
to put down armed rebels, but he was not in favor of
war on newspapers or the ballot-box, He would Atomd
by the freemen of the land in the exercise of their con
stitutional right to turn this Administration out of paw-
They Mid a riartt, 1, Z . iiey coil I; to flO this without
interference or control.
. .
ife. &ITU, of Kentucky, replied there was. nothing
but political capital to be made by such a speech as his
colleague had just delivered.. There was - no military
'interference in any of the loyal States, but in those sec
tions only, Kentucky included, where men were an
luau y engaged in treason and sought to overawe and
trample down the rights of loyal men. - He would keep
within the law of his State, and ,keep disloyal and
treacherous men from the polls. He had no doubt the
Presidential election will be a peaceful one. The loyal,
patriotic man hae nothing to fear. The skulking, trai
trous coward alone fears the consequences.
Without further action on the contested election ease.
the House adjourned till Monday.

CaicAco, May 27.—The Journal's Nashville cor
respondent states that Shernian , s entire army re
sumed the march from Kingston, Georgia, on Tues
day, and flanked Sohnston's position , at Alatoona,
on the Etowah river.
This position was in the mountain fastnesses and
was considered to be stronger thai Atlanta.
This correspondent 'believes that Johnston does
not intend to fight, but his troops are being, gradu

Reported Capture of the United States
Gunboats Granite City and Wave.
NEW YORE', May 27.—The Herald New Orleans
correspondent stated a few days since that a report
had reached that place to the effect that the gun
boat Granite City and the iron-clad Wave had been
surprised and captured near Sabine PaSS, Texas.
At the date of his'writing no details had been re
ceived, and we are inclined to think - that possibly it
was only a rebel canard.
We now have what seems to be a confirmation of
the affair. It is a telegram to the Richinond papers,
dated "Mobile, May 14,1804. The iron-clad gunboat
Granite City, gunboat No. 45, and a transport were
captured by the Confederates at Sabine Pass on the
6th instant' ,

Her crew was made up from the paroled andex

The Ware, or No. 45, as the rebels call her, was
one of Admiral Porter's gunboats originally, and
was protected by a slight Iron armor to shield her
crew from riflemen. She was put in commission at
New Orleans on tbe 2d of April, 1864.

Execution of Don Manuel G. Rejon, at
Itlatamciros.
New Yonx, May 27.—We learn' from a private
letter, dated Brownsville, Texas,- April 28, that on
or about the 25th -of last month, -Don Manuel G:
Rejon, late Secretary of State to Governor Vidaurri,
came to Brownsville, Texas, from Laredo or Roma,
whither he had fled when Vidaurri also took to
flight, and stopped at Miller's Hotel, without report
ing himself either at headquarters or at the provost
marshal's office. On the afternoon of the 2;th it
came to the knowledge of the military that he was
there, and he was at once, though he protested
strongly against it, put across the river into Mate
mora: It seems that he was one of those who were
ordereVby a decree of the Juarez Government to
be , shet as soon - ea apprehended, though that was
not known to the military authorities in Browns
ville when they put him across the Rio Grande ; so
on his arrival in Matamoros he was arrested, and at
2 o'clock on the afternoon of April 28 he was shot by
a file of soldiers, In the presence of a- very large con
course of spectators.
Sr. Rejon was a nephew of the Don Manuel Cres
cendo Rejon, who, as Secretary of State of Mex.fe.o,
gave such castigation tO Our Minister, Wilson
bhannon, and was the editor of La Revista. Though;
guilty of treason against Mexico, we regret that
under the circumstances stated he met with, his fate.
His execution caused the greatest consternation
among the rebels in Matamoros, especially as they
were aware that Sr. Iglesias, Suarez's Minister of
Finance was in the City or on a visit to Brownsville
at the time. Ignorant of the real facts of the case,
fully aware of the entente cordiale existing between
the officers of the United States and the Juarez-Go
vernment, they concluded. that he was put across
under a direct understanding, and began to feel the
liveliest apprehensions for their own safety. Before
night, all the vehicles that could be hired in Meta
mores were freighted Ivan rebels for the interior.
Since the fig4t between Cortina and Ruiz, no sink
exodus of rebels has taken place. As they' knew
that but for their rebellion, Mexico would never
have been invaded, and as they have ever been in
favor of the French have they not just ground for
apprehension ? IA other nation beside Mexico
would have tolerated enemies in its limits thus
long?

Through the kindness of Mr. Coventry Waddell,
of this city, a i)tirSonal. friend of General Jackson,
we are enabled to lay before our readers. the.follow
ing interesting letter, Vrhfdh tlaS never before been
printed. We print the letter in full, notwithstand
ing its personal eharactery certain that all will be
glad to read it who revere the . memory of its writer,

Wasncycyrox, Feb. 19,1837.
MY DEAR MADAM : -By a letter received to-day
from your dear husband, is communicated tome the
joyful intelligence that you have presented him
with a lovely son, and that you intend honoring me
With his naive by calling him Andrew Jackson. I
duly appreciate thelenor you bestow upp me; a
greater could not be conferred, as it gives' evidence
of your confidence and esteem. I shall dilly che
rish
I sincerely regret that .I cannot be pertlly pre

my request, to .him, arid afterward I shall entrust
my obligations to this dear boY-to your Maternal

pleasure to see him, unless I should hetionored

for lion.
I enclose herewith the visual gift to - this namesake
that I have bestowed to all my others—it bears the
InipreSs of the Eagle of his Country, displayed on

in wisdom lhavelo depend upon you to explain to
him, with this injunction of his godfather, that
when ho arrives at the years of manhood hemill al
ways be found sustaining the Eagle of his Country
from the insult, or grasp, of a foreign foe, and the
still more dangerous enemy, the intestine Traitor who

The dianitrary Connisimmion and our
Won nded.
Almost everybody, now-a-Mays, Is a stockholder in
the United States Sanitary Commission ; and be
ing so, feels desirous to know how the capital of
which he or she furnished iipart is used. Thoso
who helped to collect a million in Now York, and
six hundred thousand dollars In Brooklyn, not to
speak of the other sums gathered in Boston nod
elsewhere during the past winter, are curious to
know if these dollars are really benefitting our
wounded brethren, and whether the relief and coin
fort given is In proportion to the liberality of the
public. This desire is reasonable, and we have
taken some pains to Secure, from authentic and in
dependent sources, the Information required to sa
tisfy it. Tho particulars which we print below are
the substance of reports made to us by several gen
; tlemen, not officially connected with the Sanitary
Commission, who have visited Washington, Belle
Plain, and Fredericksburg, and have seen there
what is done by the Commission.
It is known that there is at Washington a Central
Depot of the Sanitary Commission. At this place
there was, before- 0-rant crossed the - Rapidan, a
corps of fifty trained and skilled men, used to the
care of the wounded, experienced in, cooking,
handling the wounded, and in all the services which
position in the field suggests for making thm help
less comfortable. This Is the field-corpsits mem
bers are paid, and are under military discipline.
They form a nucleus' around which Is gathered a
larger corps of volunteer attendants and agents,
ladies-and gentlemen whiz servo at their own ex
pense, and who come only at the call of the Com
mission.. At the Central Depot, of course; large
supplies of suitable clothing and food are stored.
Two items, thirty thousand woolen shirts, and a ton
of condensed milk, will give the mailer some idea of
the extent of theic stores ; while the follovring . iteme,
picked hastily and at random from an inventory now
before us, will show the great variety of articles.
needed ;• hay for bedding, oakum for wounds, stock
ings, shirts, drawers, trowsers, chip iutts, pillows
for the head and for stumps - of limbs,.slings of va
rious sizes, paper, envelopes, pencils, sponges,.ring--
pads for wounds, towels, brooms, buckets, bed-pans,
crutches, drinking-cups, matelicS,; tobacco, pipes,.
liquors of different kinds, oranges and lemons, Spoons,
soft bread,oatmeal,cornstareh, farina, dishes of d iffer
ent kinds, tents, bed-ticks, shoos, slippers, beefsteak,
blackberry cordial, canned fruits and vegetables,
dried fruits, pickled onions and cabbage, lanterns,
candles, - Soap, canes, fans. We have selected from
the long list only a part of the articles—such part
as is most suggestive of the various wants - of the
helpless and maimed sufferers.
It will be remembered that the first news from the
army arrived in Washington on a Sunday night.
It was then reported that the wounded-were on
their way to Alexandria by way of Culpeper. A
corps of men was immediately sent to Alexandria
with sandwiches, coffee, punch, farina, and such
other food as could at once be given to the men as
they, came up in the cars. They waited there all
night, but none came. It was then thought that
the wounded would come into Fredericksburg. On
Monday morning a steamer of one hundred and forty
tons was loaded with supplies, and a barge with
horses and wagons, and these vessels were kept in
readiness to set off at a moment's notice down the
river. Finally they were started off for Belle Plain,
where sixty agents of the Commission arrived- on
Tuesday evening.
There was at this point no- convenience for land
ing, except a crib dock hastily constructed by the
Quartermaster's Department.-'There are uo houses,
nor any convenithices whatei'er. Tents were int
inediatelY set up, stores landed, and proper places
prepared for the wounded, who began to come in at
the same time—some in wagons, others on foot. A
convenient spot WaS -Awn, on the road by which
the men arrived,:aiii/Tl .. liere coffee, sandwiches,
punch, and Other restoratives, were given at once to
all as thel caine in. This relieved their first ne
cessities. Other agents were sent out, with haver
sacks and canteens, upon :the road, to meet and
help on those who were lagging;haiind from weak
ness or weariness, to give ri. Oraeker to one, a swal
low of brandy to another .a .lerriOn" to-a third,-and
the news that succor was at hand to all. This labor
was continued through the night.
On Wednesday morning between forty and fifty
wagons loaded with supplies wore sent off to Frede
ricksburg, ten miles away, with a corps of agents
and assistants, who had to walk the whole distance,
the wagons being full. At Fredericksburg were
found seven four-horse teams, with fourteen of the
Commission's field corps, who had accompanied the
army 'with supplies when it crossed the Rapidan.
The town was full of our wounded. The wagons
were unloaded, houses taken possession of, the place
was at once laid off' in districts, a, certain number of
„assistant were assigned to each district, and the
whole corps, now, consisting of one hundred and
fifty men, went at once to work, placing the wound
ed and supplying them with clothing, pillows, beds,
food, and other necessaries, as they were required.
The men lie on the floors in hundreds of buildings.
Eight tons of hay were sent down to make them
beds. The worst cases are first looked after ; and
our informants speak feelingly of the unselfish
spirit of our brave wounded, each less anxious for
his - own comfort than for that of his comrade.
As the work is thoroughly systematized, and each
assistant or agent knows and attends zealously to
his own share, no time is lost and no confusion re.
sults. From the start everything; is conducted
regularly, and this is naturally of great advantage
to the sufferers, who know their attendants, and
know that they will be supplied as quickly as pos
sible, and with all they need. In the meantime, the
transportation of supplies to Fredericksburg had to
be pushed vigorously. Thirty-two large wagons
were at once put upon the road from Belle Plain,
and two steamboats, two barges, and two schooners
are engaged in the water transport from Washing
ton and Baltimore.
Nothing was found in Fredericksburg but ice;
fortunately of that indispensable and weightParti
ele there - are large quantities in the place. Twenty
tons were discovered in one ice-house.'
Day after day the attendance upon the wounded
has continued since the evening the Commission
landed at Belle Plain. Parties are sent ont from
Fredericksburg to meet them on the road and, feed
them. Supplies of all kinds are furnished. The
Army Medical Department, which is thoroughlv
well managed, removes the wounded as fast as pr

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
-Mr. Charles Rosenberg, well known as a critic
and dramatist, has just . completed a five-act-play,
with Oliver Cromwell as the principal character,
and the trial and condemnation of Charles the First,
as the culminating incidents. A New York paper
says of the'produCtion : "We hazard nothing in pre
dicting for, this play the most complete success
whenever It shall be performed. The character of
Cromwell has been very accurately conceived and
artistically Sustained by the author, and the incidents
are in the Main historically accurate." In the hands.
of l drzjp Ferres.t, we should say that the hero of
this drama would have most effective exposition,
and prove to be one of the most successful and popu
lar of his inipersonations. -

CITE
WHY WE PREFER THE "DROVER & BAKER."-
We have taken an interest in the Sewing Machine
from the start, and believe that every good, new
machine added to, the list is a substantial public
blessing, providing it is properly advertised. Ne
vertheless, we must.confess to a decided preference
for the "Grover & Baker" instrument, and for this
reason: Of the ten thousand of these inimitable
machines now employed in the best families in this
city there has not a single complaint reached us as
to their efficiency for every possible description of
sewing, whilst the praises of what the Grover &
Baker Machine is alone capable of aceo*lishing
are universal. Every one should visit trepir great
;ee these
, THE Doosi - ED "A;79IY.FEDERACY."—Every
„day's
experience bringß ii assurance that the
days of Rebeldoplare numbered. The whole thing
has been a gigantic and most infamous failure. On
the contrary, the efforts of W. W. Alter, 935 North'
Ninth street, to supply our citizens with the hest
and cheapest Coal have been a gigantic success.
THE MOST POPULAR SHIRT Ow ma AoB.
Gentlemen wishing to supply themselves with the
best-made and best-fitting Shirt of the age, will find
it - to their advantage to call at the popular old stand
of Mr. J. C. Arrison, Nos. 1 and 3 North Sixthstreet,
formerly J. Burr Moore's, whose reputation in this
department, we may say, is triumphantly sustained
by Mr. Arrison. As goods are now advancing in
price, a handsome per centage can be saved to pur
chasers by giving their orders to Mr. Arrison with
out delay.
SEASONAMM CoxpEcriass....-Mr. A. L.Vansant,
Ninth and Chestnut streets, has constantly on
hand, prepared fresh daily, the largest variety of
fine French and American Confections; especially
adapted for the season. His warm weather propa
rations are at once cooling, refreshing, healthful,
and altogether delightful. This remark applies
equally also to his delicious fruits.
FINE' 'PHOTOGRAPHS BY GIITBABZZST.—Mr. F.
Gutekunst, Nos. 704 and 706 AreJi street, has just
issued superb photograpbs of Generals Grant,
Meade, and Hancock, from = the carte de visite to
life-size; also, admirable cards of Rt. Rev. Bishop
Wedd and Dr. Moriarty. -
THE " PRIZE-MEDAL'UT, Invented by Mr.
John F. Taggart, and sold by Mr. George Grant,
610 Chestnut street, is, without exception, tho best
in fit, comfort, beauty, and durability. His stock
of Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods, of : his own ex
clusive manufacture and mportation, is also the
choicest in the city, and his prices are moderate.
ARNEST or THE PRESIDENT 01? THE UNITED
STATES !-LA report was hi circulation this morning,
that the President had been arrested. It will be re
membered that Governor Seymour of Now York,
ordered the District Attorney to draw bills of in

report of the arrest of the latter grow out of a re
mark made by Mr. Seward, that the attention of the
President had been arrested by the compliMentary

they use the very finest- and purest materials, and
produce only the choicest propirktionsi) to sell at

that all who use Confections buy them.at 31S Chest

A DZOEPTIVIS MALADY.-SO insidious are the
first approaehes of Consumption that thousands re
main unconscious of its presence until it has brought
them to the verge of the grave. 'An imniediate re.
sort to Dr. Saynels Expectorant, upon the first ap
pearance of Cough, Pain or soreuessef the Throat
or Chest, would very generally preclude a fatal re
sult; or, in case the's° symptoms indicated the pre
sence of latent consumption, would tend to subdue
the violence of the disease, and thus materially
assist in prolonging the life of. the patient. Use the
Expectorant, therefore, when you take cold, and
thus prevent the necessity for its use in more dan
gerous complaints.

Ah, none but those who know too well,
By keen experience of their own,
,The varied miseries can tell
That force prond Richmond - now to groan
If only guilty ones should bear ,
Those hardships, it were justice duo;
Bat innocence, alas, must share
In all their deprivations too.
Many would, if they dared, decline
To starve there, for rebellious pride,
And gladly would the Strife resign,
In peace and plenty to abide,
If but the war were done and they
Released from their most wretched thrall
They'd welcome Grant's victorious way
To Richmond's legislative hall. "
What grateful thoughts our hearts should fill,
That we, though by high prices teased,
Know not those hardships, greater still,
Which have upon Secessia seized,

WHAT THE HIAWATHA 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

detect its use. It makes harsh hair soft and silky, stops
Its failing put, cleanses it and the scalp &mei all impu
