E. from Uold Harbor, Viuojnia, Juno 3,1864. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF Till! PIGIITING, • The progress or the national armies toward Rich mond maybe likened to the tacking of a ship toward her port of destination against a head wind. Zig zag progress is at best very slow, but, at worst, it is Tory surc. Idkc the ; vertical movement or a saw through limber, something is gained by every up and-down stroke. The general programme of the fighting on both sides seems to be. nearly as follows: The rebels, holding the inside of a cirole, are able to concentrate quickly, amljwiih less danger of being discovered, than can the Federal forco3. They mass : troops on some one army corps, and attack Impetus | ously. While an obstinate artillery light goos onj I supported by bodies of infantry posted in the woods,-: ; iii. rifle-pi ts, belli mV slight breastworks, or other J cover, General (3-rant Amoves one or more army-. corps sidoionf'into positions weakenod by the.with-*| drawal of the j by the throwing up of low entrench ments. In the meanttmoj the cavalry are on the wing§ looking for good openings for future busmos3. The rebels, with a much smaller army than that of their opponents, are repulsed in nearly every as sault. Sometimes, on a portion of their lino, they have a partial success, but the balance of advantage ,is seldom with them, They are being hemmed In, especially on the east and northeast sides of .Rich mond. V" ■ THE POSITION OF OUR. ARttY, Our lines extend from Gold Harbor, near Whito House, to the. Ohickabominy creek. V The latter named place is our base of supplies. It is fourteen .miles.from'these headquarters; The Pamunkoy» near ‘White House, joins the York river, and good water carriage is available from Washington. The wounded are .now sent to this point, which is a great advantage, as ambulances can make the journey in a much less time than would be occupied.in reach ing Aequia creek or Belle Plain on the Potomac, or Port Royal on the Rappahannock. . COLD HARBOR—-REBEI, SYSTEM OP WARFARE. Cold Harbor is about eight Richmond, 1 in a northwesterly direction. It is a small collec tion ofliouses in a clearing among the wooded hills,. Numerous swamps and creeks are traversed by the narrow roads to this point. The, rebels 3 ; system of warfare may hero be observed; and it seems to be more like bushwhacking on a large scale than any thing else. At every half mile or less.-Tence-raiis and trees aro piled into a chevaux dc/rise, orsuppbrfc an embankment of earth. Behind these, and scat tered about the woods in good positions for annoying our troops, the rebels hido, awaiting the approach of our soldiers. The signal to fire is hot giren until nearly every shot will tell, A volley, or it may be two, is fired at the blue coats; they charge; the ene my scatters-to take up other positions and firo again; artillery by this time comes up to shell tho woods 5 a few prisoners are taken; the wounded on botksides are taken rearward; The cautious ad vance again , begins into a country that the rebels have meanwhile been hastily obstructing. The sound of their axes and saws can be heard at times, so closely do our troops follow them up in their re treat toward the great system of defences which is . known 19 exist between the Chickahomlny and Richmond. : . the ISth conns in the battle 01? Wednesday. The ISth Army Corps, commanded by General Wm. F. Smith, has left the army commande'd by Gen, Butler, and has a position in the centre of Gen, Meade’s line. On ’‘the Ist of June it fought a desperate battle, which, commencing in. the after noon, lasted until past midnight." , The centre of the rebel line was shattered by a brilliant charge made by Col. Barton's brigade, attached to Gen. Bovin’s division. In this; charge tho 76th Fonna., 47 th, 48th,.and 115th N. T. -V., had part, ;The Xloth, ledfby Major Walrath, dashed throiigh and beyond the rifle-pits, and captured 225 prisoners. . / TIIE LOSSES. In this exploit, Major Walrath had a loss of only twelve men wounded. The brigade captured, in all, more than 500 men. Colonel Barton was wounded in the groin." The brave Lieut.GoloneF Marshall, of the 40th Massachusetts, was killed. Ho was pro moted for gallantry in . Florida, where ho captured and held Gainesville, with a force of forty-nine men, driving off a heavy cavalry force, and rotreat ing to his regiment, sixty-five miles through a hos tile country, with a loss of only three men. Colonel Drake, in command of another brigade of Devin’s division, was killed in this battle of Gold Harbor. The rebels made persistent attempts to recover the rifle-pits until daybreak. . General Grant then moved up the fitkaml 2d Array Corps to tho support of the 18th. The latter was withdrawn yesterday to rest and refresh. THE OPENING OP FRIDAY'S FIGHTING, . The 2d Army Corps is now-engaged on the left, and the heavy cannonading heard from this point gives warrant of a general engagement, soon to come 'off. ; Army Headquarters, In the Field hear Gold Harbor, Virginia, Juno 3, 1864—10.30 A. M. THE BATTLE OP FRIDAY—DESPERATE REBEL CHARGE REPULSED. General Hancock’s 2d, and General Smith’s ISth* Army Corps are engaged .with the enbiny in front. A tfesperate charge of the rebels has been repulsed, and upward of two hundred of Breckinridge’s men captured by the 2d Army Corps. General Brooks, of the 2d Army Corps, is killed. General Tyler, of the same body, Is wounded. . RESOLUTE S'f.U'D OP THE REBELS. . The battle is raging Seemingly Gen. Dee intends to make a resolute stand ,before retreat ing into tho ChlckahominytSwamps. /* •. THE FIGHTING CONTINUOUS SINCE TUB WILDEIt- NESS' BATTLES. The fighting has been continuous along one or more parts of the line every day since the battles in the'Wilderness were fought.. SEVEN THOUSAND PRISONERS TAKEN KYJ?HE 2D ■ ■ • , CORPS. The 2d Corps,, since the beginning of the campaign, has taken upward: of seven thousand re bel prisoners. • COMPLIMENT TO BARTON’S BRIGA.DE. Brigade Commander Col. Barton, of Gen, Devin’s division, in ISth; Array Corps, has received the thanks of his division commander for tho part taken by his command In the fight of the Ist June. Col. Barton (wounded in the groin) has congratulated Major Walrath, commanding the Ustk New York Volunteers, for the brilliant charge made by his re giment, which resulted In the taking of the enemy’s rifle-pits. Col. Drake, commanding the brigade on the left of the line, is reported killed. OUR TROOPS MASSED; ON THE POINTS GAINED. '- The success, of this day led to the massing of troops by General Meade upon the position- gained, and has thus .brought on tho general engagement now pending/ \ BUTLER ABLE TO H.AXK THE ENEMT, Should General Lee retreat into the defences of Richmond, his army and the city will probably be come together the prize of war. : Genera! Butler : was strong enough to spare the 18th Army Corps to be added to the forces in this, immediate neighbor hood. The rebels have boasted that ho was hemmed in upon a neck formed by a loop or sharp :bend in the James river, the land-side of which thoy have fortified. But, as gun-boats are on the river side of the promontory. General Butler can remove his force at will, and flank the enemy upon either side. ■' 3VEIKT OUCEMEK TS AP.IIIYTNG, Other reinforcements are .coining in frpm the Korth. Our communication, with White House are kept open, and are carefully and strongly guarded. Last night tbo rebels stole nearly all the telegraph wire communicating with the:headquarters of the Oth (Burnside’s) Army Corps. THE POSITION ON FIUBAT MORNTNO, 'Juke 3,5.30 P. M.—Our army line this morning, from left to right, was as follows: Army Corps 2d, oth, ISth, stli, and 9th. The position may be gene rally described as a curved ridge, the concave side of which is hold by the enemy. The convex side is furnished with aheavybreastwork of timber and, earth. In some places', as, for instance, at the wings; and at; the intersection of the roads with tho line, two or moro additional breastworks are made to use in ease of such ati emergency as a temporary check or a retreat. On both sides of the ridge are valleys sloping upward, filled with a dense growth of trees, underbrush; etc. -The plan of tho day’s operations seems: to lie, on either side, to gain pos-' session of the enemy’s works and drive him from his position. .The main body of the Federal army pro tects itself beneath; tho shelter of the breastworks, built on the slope of the valley, under the ridgo. Beyond tho breastworks skirmishers are tlirown out, arid where openings in the woods occur pickets are posted to give due notice of the enemy's approach. Much the same arrangement is. observed by the rebels on their side of the ridge. In . the rear of both armies, where the ground affords a proper ele vation for accuracy of range, artillery is posted; Cavalry are on tbo watch* at the wings for opportu nities of cutting eif dotachod bodies, intercepting reinforcements, or capturing supplies, on tho roads, making prisoners of couriers, or for/any other emer gency in which their action would be proper. - - TftEnAItATIpNS FOll ! Since daybreak the firing of artillery and musket ry has been incessant all along tiic lino. The loss i 3 not great on either side, tho combatants botng rare ly within sight of each other. Tito, sequel of such aday’s work Is generally a charge to gain posses sion of the enemy’s position. This will bo made to night by the 2d Army ; Corps, -which is now going from the extreme left to the right- of our lino, to take up a propor position for the occasion, : Along the whole of the Federal Hue the engage-, inent Is general. Brawn up within supporting dis tance of each other are lines of battle, behind their extemporized entrenchments. - ~ A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO HRKAR OUft OENTHK. ; 7.30 P. M.—A furious fusliade.is going; on in front of our contro and left. Tho robols made a despe rate attempt to brouk our centre.

The number of rebel prisoners captured In this afiairwns almost equal to the force employed to as sail their position, TIUK REBELS LOSING HEART—THE PRISONERS. •It is undeniably true that the rebels , are losing heart for the war. This foolingj of course, does not extend to the general officers or principal actors in the great .insurrection; but it. isyjgrtalnly sharod in bythodine arid regimental oflieers. A eaptiiiu recentlytaken prisoner, as soon as ho reached our linos, hurrahed for “ the old flag.” It is noticeable, ' too; that, the privates taken evineo surprise and gra'littspyon account of the good treatment they ex perience jht our bands. Many, wii c;i. UVkR'Vi/YTTiVt to'-beHoVd' ?, r 'sA*--T«nuie cr kill prisoners fallinginto our 'hands. Disabused Qf this prcjudlco, they enter with alacrity Into tho tasksf of attending our wounded equally with theirs, They volunteer to carry our men pit the field, and. to bring them water. They; never attempt to cscape; but seem glad to have left the dangerous frontage of our guns. Our mon emulate-each other in treating them kindly; and badly, indeed, would he faro who [should insult a “Johnny” who has claimed Uncle Sam’s hospita lity and-protection; At times, a more intelligent' prisoner is brought in, who shows no nervousness or trepidation. Of this class was one Baker, a pri vate, who before the war was sub-editor of a paper in Norfolk, Yu. He frankly declared that ho was tired of the war, as also did his comrades captured with him., As. for the good treatment he was re-, coiving, any other than that would have surprised and disappointed him. Ho had always observed the laws of humanity in treating our men, of whom he v bad secured; many as prisoners. He had: a clear; right, therefore, in his opinion, to the best treatment he could receive. COLONEL 110 WELL .AND THE REBEL WALKER. : It scarcely belongs to this army, but an excellent • story, not yet printed, will tell to the advantage of Col. Howell, a brigade commander in the array of Gen. Gilmore, in Gen, Butler’s department. The rebel General Walker, when brought In, wounded and a prisoner, showed some degree of ill-feeling to wards his captors. In rather bud taste, he threat enecH&or rhoasted; that his people would soon come and drive tho wretched Yankecs.from the place they occupied. Col. Howell, of the Ssth Pennsylvania, a genuine gentlcnfan, refined in his manners, and of the old school of politeness, advanced, lifted Ui3 hat, and said,* with peculiar traction: “We shall be most happy to meet them, General, most happy! Let them come very soon and stay.a long time. \Vb will accommodate .them, sir j. we will entertain .them to the best of .our hurablO; ability And in fact, CoionelHowell had many a time and oft “ entertained ” the people of this same General Walker in the Department of , the South, whence he had recently come with the : 10th Army Corps, under General Gilmore. As com mandant of the post at Hilton Head, S. G., and as . commander of the . district thereabout, ho was a thorn iu the side of this same General Walker, who had charge of the rebels at Poeotaligo on tho ad jacent mainland. Colonel KowelPs enefgy,shrewd nessj.and'ability, will long be remembered in the Department ofthe South, whore he had charge of a brigade dnriDg a year or more. But wherefore is' his commission as brigadier general, known to have been made out in the office of the War Department, not forwarded to him! From, the Adjutant Gene ral’s office, he .has been officially addressed as “brigadier, general.” He ranks, however, stiU.as colonel, a brigadier’s duty, with eminent creditto'himseif and his command. ;. Pen-Holder.: OPERATIONS IN SMITH’S CORPS TO JUNE 5. lSth Army Corps, In tur'Field, near Cold Harbor, Va., June 5, 1364. The centre orour line is held by the 18th Army Corps, commanded -by-Maj. Gen. Wm. F.- Smith; It retains the ground taken from the enemy on the 3d. Being about 200 yards in advance of the other parts of the line, the enemy has an enfilading Are upon the troops in the extreme front.To counter* act this, Oapfc. Elder, of Battery B, Ist U. S. Ar tillery, daringly advanced his guns to within a short distance of the enemy. Placing them In a hollow, he caused his men to lio down, and to sponge and load the pieces upon their knees. For every shot fired from; a rebel piece, Cnpfe. Eider, returned a volley. The enemy in vain sent sharpshooters to ; pick oil the gunners. No t a man nor a gun could be seen. Hast night Capt. Heed, with 200 men, con structed a long approach or covered way towards a point commanding the enemy’s enfilading battery. A spiral passage, with earth-banks ten feet high, covers out sharpshooters. ‘ From this vantage ground they have made the position of the battery untenable. Capt. Reed, in returning to the head quarters this morning, wrw struck by a bullet in the back of his leg. His flesh-wound is painful, but not sp severe as to make him absent from duty. / A similar approach: from Gen, Martindale’s front was planned and executed by Captain Farquhar. en gineer officer, upon Gen. Smith’s'staff. The great est advantage of these approaches is the prevention of the enemy’s: sharpshooters from annoying‘our gunners, while they give equal facilities for silenc" ing the batteries of ; the enemy. The centre of the line of the :18th Corns, hold by Generals Martindale’s and Devin’s flivisionsy was assaulted by the enemy last night, and successfully defended. After the, partial success of Generals Martin dale’s,:Brooks\ and Devin’s divisions, on Friday, their meh, while awaiting the arrival of entrench ing tools, used their cups and plates to construct earthworks, to cover them partially from tho ene my’s bullets.: The casualties of the 4Sth Regiment, N.

On the 2d of June, Colonel Moody, of the 139t1i Pennsylvania; Volunteers, was killed. Next day, Major Hubboll, of the G2d New York Volunteers, met his death. Our losses are not heavy in any of the army corps. The troops are well protected by.cover, and by the dense woods intervening between thorn and the fire of the enemy.

A GENERAL HOLIDAY SEASON. Visitors Arriving from all Parts of tlic Country. CONTmt/ED KEFOBT OP THE VA- , KIOUS EXHIBITIONS. flic Schools, Mercantile, Mechanical, ami lis ecllaneour Departments. PERFECTED OPENING OF THE FAIR TO-DAY Tho mammoth report or tho Groat Control Fair, presented in The Press of yesterday, by no means includes all the. interesting features of this un paralleled exhibition. Now interest is revealed from day to-day, and there will bo a universality of at traction for the, thousands who come to visit the city, and all who visit, the Fair. The following con tinued report carefully describes many of the most valuable and popular portions of the great national enterprise:-^ South Side of Union Avenue. LABOR, IyCOME, ASP REVENtnC DKIVARTM)^ n ,. apart cxprossJy for tha Comraitteo on Enbor, Income, anti Revenue, which ends the departments on Union avenue. It comprises two tables, seventy-four feet In length altogether,-whum does not give enough room for them to show oif as they could do. There aro seven arches in front, which aro covered with lace and evergreen, and sur rounded with small gilt eagles. Over, the centre arch, which crosses between the two tables, is a large stuffed eagle, and attached to the different pillars that support the arches is a painting, the portraits of Gov. Curtin and Horace Binnoy, Sr. A large painting belonging to the committee may be seen over the clothing department, where it was placed on account of there being no room in its own place. The painting represents the death of Gen. Eyon, andj^lll..be presented to the Union League. Subscriptions: for this picture will be received at the table. Some of the most valuable articles were noton the table yesterday, ami those who saw it then, will bo much more surprised to-day, when the other articles are spread before them. Wires are; stretched from post to post, on which are hung use ful articles of wearing apparel. On one end of the table is a stand containing bottles of perfumery, and other articles. The two tables are latlened down with goods of all kinds. This department presents more;attractions than any'Cther in Union avenue, and the committee aro determined to realize several hundred thousand dollars as their share of: the pro ceeds. Tisitors will not only be delighted at the beautiful things exhibited here, but they will have the satisfaction of knowing that most of them are for sale and at a very reasonable rate. The great feature of the Fair is here, namely the $2,500 sword, which is to be given to the general receiving the highest number of votes. For one vote they only charge a dollar, which is all the visitors really are able to invest. With this sword is a box contain ing shoulder-straps, sash and spurs. On one . table is a mat of worsted worked on canvas, which will *be presented to Mrs. General Meade. A large and handsome vase of wax fruitis to bo presented to JBishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a small - vase of skeleton flowers to President Lincoln. Subscriptions for these will be received every day. Here was also to bo seen four teen cages containing nineteen birds .of various kinds, most of them canaries, which warble ; ont their sweet notes to . the delight of visitors. In a frame on the first pillar is a frame containing leaves which are wrought in the shape of a wreath.. tordest-fought battle at Gettysburg was under these leaves ht Culp’s Hill, July 3, 1863. Tho fol lowing lines of poetrjfcwere - written within the cir cle of tlie wreath: "The circling leaves, Fadedinfear.heart-brokendied,- When patriot valor death defied - ’Gainst treason’s hordes, wo charge you ne’er Forget the true lives given here; . **ln those darkhours, here, where thoyfell, Oft shall the widow’s tears.be shed: Oft shall fond parents mourn their dead. The otpbans here shall kneel and weep, ’ And maidens where their lovers sleep Their woes shall tell. * 1 The hardest fought battle at Gettysburg was un der these leaves. Belies and curiosities are to bo seen in numbers around the table. Many articles from the Holy Land are exhibited. These are scarce and valuable, and should bring good prices. This table ends the south side of Union avenue. Above all others, -visit this. department. ¥c can not do justice to this exhibition, but will let our readers know more about it before the Falr closes. CHINA AND PORCELAIN DEPARTMENT. . Crossing the avenue leading, to the School De l>artment, we come to the table devoted to china and porcelain. The display is-indeed fine. The ; most conspicuous of the articles embraced in the collection is a beautiful centre piece. It consists of a pedestal of purest Parian marble, representing in relief a number of infant harvesters, gathering In the different products of France. The pedestal is sup-' ported on a gilded metallic, rim. . Atop the pedestal are six female figures, representing six cities of France,Vi*.: Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux, BheiffiS, and Boulogne. The figures carry on their heads different-shaped vases, with various. fruits, the grape predominating. A sheaf of com and a crown of mulberries complete the picture. The en tire work is: executed in the most finished and ar tistic style, and is well worthy the noble causo to which it has been consecrated. This beautiful gift imported at a cost of three hundred dollars—was presented to the Fair by Messrs. Tindall & Mitchell, of this city. Another noticeable feature is a;largo costly China vase of English manufacture. It i 3 the gift of Mr. James Sleele, of this city. Bohemian glasses, and vases of all kinds, arranged, in taste ful rows, fill up 'the. chief part of the table. We‘ - are proud . to see that in china and porcelain, our own manufacturers bid fair to rival those of England and France. We were shown some very neatsamplos of home china, so. elegantly gild ed and decorated that one would believe they wore created in Paris. The finest of these - were made by Mr. Kirkbaum, and were presented to Mrs. Town©, to be appropriated “for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers.” A number of pretty little por celain. Vases, a Tucker China teapot,, numerous pieces of New Jersey porcelain, granite, and C. C. Ware, tho gifts of Mr. Young,- of Trenton, stand as further proofs of what can bo done at home by our own workmen and of our own material. The most complete French China dinner set we have ever seen, the value of which exceeds six hun dred dollars, adorns the centre of the table. Notice able for its quaihtness and neatness is alittlo carved box, the work of Edward Cabot, of Boston, and by him presented to our Great Central Fair. Along side is a large blue earthenware plate, originally be longing to the well-known Kohn. family, the gift of an old negro woman, once a servant in the family. The old lady wrote quite a patriotic letter of pre sentation, saying it was her only mite, and she gave it, together with her prayers, in aid of the good cause. Then we come across a small plate, once the property of Pennsylvania’s philosopher, Benjamin Franklin, containing a loaf of genuine Llbby-prison breach When wo look at the black, noxious stuff, which the rebels dignified with the name of bread, wo can partly imagine the dainty fare our braves aro com pelled to live upon in the capiinlofihegatm Con federacy. We.cannot close : our':remarks' upon'- this department without paying a slight tribute of admi ration to thb skill of bliss Vogt, for the fine manner in which she wrought her stand of wax fruit. The oranges, poaches, apples, plums, etcetera, aro natu ral looking enough to tempt an anchorite. : • ! * — JWOOT AND : SHOE DEPART:*Tksct. -- The next in order is the Boot and Shoe Depart ment. Every variety are here represented, from tiny little baby slippers up to huge cavalry boots; from daintily-arched gaiters to the most immaculate patent leathers. Among the collection wo notice a pair of cavalry boots made to tho measure of our gallant fellow-townsman, Major Gen. D.*B.' Birncy, and presented to the Fair by Mr. Leon Benkert; and a pair of fine patent-leather boots, made to the measure of “ His Excellency Governor Sprague, of Ehode Island,” also the gift of- Mr. Benkert. Some idea of their finish and fineness may be had when we are told that the former cost forty and the latter forty-five dollars. Among the contributors to tills department are Messrs. A. E. Do Haven, Wireman, Stranger, Hariner, and Shoemaker. OARPKT DEPARTMIiXT, Going still rWestwardj'we arrivo at the Carpot Department, under tho direction of James H. Orne, Esq., .who_desoryes great credit for the tasteful and rich display which.ho has made; a beautiful velvet carpot, woven thickly with figures,, about eight •yards square, extending, from the top of the table halfway up.the arched roof. All varieties of Brus sels, tapestries and velvets, Oriental rugs and mats, ornamented with all conceivable shapes and figures,: make ibis part of the avenue grand in the extreme. (IEXTLDMEN’S FURXISJIINC. DEPART if EXT. Then wo come to the: Gentlemen’s Furnishing •Department.; All parts of the male attire; are hero open to view. The finest silk nock-ties, scarfs of tho most approved styles, indeed, oven the inner gar* ments, to suit the fancy of-the most fastidious, are arranged to catch the-oye and suit the taste of our fashionables. . LIXOKIUE DKX’AIITXLEXT. - This brings us to the avenue leading to. the con fectionery and restaurant. Crossing this, we come to the Lingerie Department, devoted exclusively to those articles of dress appropriate to the fair sox. > The roost prominent article on the table is a mag nificent black corded-silk mantilla, worth one hun dred . and twenty-five dollars. The donors of this< princely gift are Messrs. Agnow & English., Our pen fails when we attempt to doscribe the my riads of laces, brpcadtS) moire antiques, silks and satins, ! worked, knit, and woven into the various-articles of female apparel, oven the names of which are .utterly unknown to our sox ; fancy caps for the little ones, those more richly embroi dered for the largor ones; tiny little skirts and dresses,: aprons, and socks, kerchiefs, mantillas, notts, garibaldis, zouavo jiiokols, ribbons, twisted into bows, and' ornaments for the hair. In fact, tho further we go the more inextricable becomes the ; beautiful labyrinth, and we wonder whether Flora McFliuisey,'if she ‘intends to visit this department, will, at any time aftorwards;say she has scon “no thing to wear.” To tho west, yet belonging to the Lingerie, are arranged the “notions,” whore, among, 9bj9<rtu-oC iutowstywQ 9tallo THEEE CENTS. varieties of zephyr and silk, the result, no doubt, of many months of toil j samplers worked with beads; the most complete and artistic specimens of needle-work—some, indeed, presented by poor seam stresses who, though necessity compels them to “Stitch, stitch, stitch ! lu poverty, huneor, and ilirl; Sew hig at once, with a double thread, A shroud, as well as a shirt,” can still steal moments from much-needed repose to add their mite to the great and humane cause of rel ieving our sick and wounded heroes. HAT, CAT, A??T> FDR, DEPARTMENT, ' A few steps farther and wc reach tho Department of Hats, Caps, and Furs. This far excelstherUs ■play of any ofour’Uhcsthut-stroct windows. Every species of hat, cap, and covering for the head—every variety of fur, is arranged to present a rich and com plete array of byTar not the least costly and useful attractions on the avenue. Mr. Charles Oakford Mr. W. F. Warburton, and, indeed, nearly the en tire , trade, have joined in \ generous rivalry to ren der theirrdepartinent as complete and profitable as any within the enclosure. iDUKSS AND MILLINERY DEPARTMENT. This department, which is next In order, consists of three tables, taking up a space of some sixty feet in length. The arches and spaces la the rear are draped with flags, and two largo mirrors arc hung in the rear of one of the tables which reflect the Terms of passers by. This is a very attractive de partment for the female sex, as dresses of all sorts and sizes may be seen piled up on the counters, and loves of bonnets, in great quantities, aro suspended here, there, and everywhere. The table towards the east end has been set apart for fancy goods, and on it arc arranged articles that are beautiful in the the last table is a large basket of arti ficial flowers, which hang gracefully down and pre sent a natural appearance. This is to be subscribed for at fifty cents a ticket.. One of the prominent fea-, a vase containing a superb Leghorn bonnet, general’s wife obtaining the largest number of votes. Twenty-five cents is charged for one vote. . Anothor; feature is a woman’s hat made entirely of American materials, and by an American lady. : This beauti ful specimen of American art is for sale. Both the latter articles were contributed by Messrs. Wood & Cary, besides a number of other expensive bonnets. A visit to this department will give entire satisfac tion. ■ ; TUB BAXK, On the south side of Union avenue, about seventy five feet westward of the avenue'leading to the School Department, Is the entrance to the room of the Secretary-of the Department and the Bank, where the receipts of the Fair are to ho kept from day to day until its completion. The following are the rules adopted for the guidance of persons re ceiving money at the Fair: Ist. Each table or department will be known as Station No.'—-. . 2d. Each station will bo furnished with alarge en velope, marked with the station number, and alt moneys received will be deposited therein j also, a pass-book, properly numbered. ... 3d. At me close of each day the envelopes will be carried to the cashier’s office, and deposited in a safe there, , ■lth. Every morning, on tho opening of the Fair, the cashier or assistant cashiers will deliver the en velopes, unopened; to the treasurer of each station, or other authorised person, who will redeliver to the cashier as much money as he can spare, and take a receipt'therefor in a pass-book provided for the pur pose. If the envelope ts not called for its whole con tents will be counted as-deposited in the Bank. sth. An account will be opened with each, station, and daily credit given by the.book-keeper. " fc6th. The cashier will deposit in bank the receipts of. the previous (lay between 1 and 3 o’clock. 7th. AVhere any doubt exists of the genuineness of notes or currency, the doubtful money should be sent to the. cashier’s office'for examination. Great care Is necessary in this particular. John A. Lewis, . A. J. Antk.lo, Sub Committee of the Finance Committee. Wholesale liry Goods Department. This department opens into Union avenue, and runs in a northerly direction. It is divided into two .■grand sections,; the wholesale; and retail. The wholesale occupies the eastern, the re'.oil the west ern portion. On the oast side there are. four tables or counters, the first of which is decorated in the rear with a very large flag, with anln wrought eagle, surrounded on ail sides by stars. On the counter were various kinds of woolen cloth, suitable for Indies’ cloaks, contributed to the Fair by the Cam den Woolen Mills of Camden, New Jersey. We would particularly call the attention of our patri otic ladies to this department, as all. the goods whichare exhibited here, are the products of home manufacture, and will vie in texture with fabrics of a similar kind imported into this country from abroad. On the second counter from tho entrance, on the east side, is a large assortment of Amor/ and Ports mouth Eppol cotton, of different colors, of a very superior quality, the product, also, of home manu facture. This portion of this department has a frame suspended on the side containing the names of merchants and others who have agreed not to . import goods from foreign countries during the war. Below this frame is a case of spool, cotton, very tastefully arranged in the form of checker-work, adorned on caph side with flags. V ; On counter No.-3, east side, are organdy lawns, inozambiques, cotton and woolen, and colored Co burg, and alpaca of different colors. They are also the products of homo manufacture, and will amply" repa y tiie inspection of the ladies who may patron ize the Fair, and who may, upon examination, dis card the purchasing of articles of dress imported from foreign countries, and thus prevent tho great efflux of gold from this country for the purchase of such goods. Counter No. 4 contains a valuable contribution of fancy articles made of wood, taken from celebrated places in Scotland, and sent to Yard & Gilmore tot bo presented to the Sanitary Fair. Their value' is estimated at about SSOO. They are well worthy of a visit, and form quite an attractive display-. On the side of the building, behind this counter, is a French engraving decorated with flags. On each side of the tnblo are two pillars overtopped with an arch and draped with an American flag. From tho arch is suspended a -tvreath of evergreen, and half way between the two. pillars, and suspended from the arch, is a basket of choice flowers. HETAIL DliY GOODS nEPAr.TME.VT. Of the retail portioii of this department, on the west side, tt would be impossible to give an accurate description. The mind becomes bewildered in; the midst of such a variety of articles of exquisite work manship that lie scattered in profusion over the tables in this department. Messrs. J. M. Haffleigh and Messrs. Besson & Sons have contributed very largely, to this department, and, through'the exertions of Mrs. Joshua Tevis, the chairman, all the various articles have been ar ranged to perfect order. Among the principal novelties on this side might be mentioned the model of a Florida fort. It Is of a pentagonal form, upon winch ten cannon are mounted, two on each side. Also, a small steam engine, presented by H. B. Paneoast, of Philadel phia. Here are also a number of counterpanes and pateh-w'Ork quilts, and other fancy articles, too nu merous to enter into to detail, but which will, no doubt, be appreciated by the throng of visitors who will be drawn into t his department. , The Restaurant Tho fallowing is the bill of fare and scale of prices at the Restaurant of the Sanitary Fair.

On a large flag, gracefully draped, is inscribed “Northwest,” under which 13 a handsome marble bust of Franklin. The table is fairly teeming with fancy goods of all and every description. The Misses Ollier, Churchman, Neaman, Purvis, and Hughes have two tables, each, well arranged and decorated. The 15th section has a handsome shield, with the motto “Perseverance in struggle and self-denial in success.” A bust of Washington, two canes from the rebel steamer Merrlmac, and a *lOO vase of wax Lincoln, are the chief ornaments* The Gtk section table is handsomely papered with blue and gold, surmounted by a white shield; both, the table and its attendants are very pretty.

'The School. Department cannot fail to be of im mense benefit to the Fair. It wields a large and "important influence over the whole country, and said influence, if rightly and judiciously exercised, will bring funds to fill the coffers where it is so much needed. - Tlie CJiiUlreu’s Department. No one with unexhausted porte-monnaie will ba likely to leave the Children’s Department without bringing with them a tangible memento of the visit. We can promise the reader a treat.in this jemark able Collection of treasures for little people. Tha east nave, at the corner of Eighteenth and Races is the loeaiity to seek out. The dimensions of the sale-room are one hundred ami twenty-five feet, with nine windows upon each side, extending from floor toeaye. The decorations are in tri-eolor, lavishly draped and festooned by evergreens and bouquets of beautiful flowers. Long aounters, neatl? covered, line the hali, and the entire department, as we liava •jusUntimated, will constitute one of the most plea sant features of the entire exhibition. The ladies of the committee, of whom the ‘'.chairman *> is the wife of Rev. Dr. Furness, deserve all possible oreditfor theft-diligence. Their arrangements werecompleted. in ample time for the opening in the afternoon. Tha wealth of the exhibition consists in the contributions and contrivances, such as in the most pretentious metropolitan toy warehouse are to be. found. Tho toy merchants of ordinary character have been most liberal, but the ladies, in special matters, have given to the little visitors at the Fair an especial advantage. ' "When we inform the juvenile readers of The Press that at their department; in the Fair they will find all the offerings of the Chestnut-street toy stores, wo consider that the hint'is sufficient, and. wo pass to the «* ettriosa> of the collection. There is a stand devoted wholly to games—comic, philosophical, and descriptive—anrf. to juvenile books. The games come from Yankeeland, the gif of Mr. Ives, of Saiein, Many of. them- are entirely new. Expressly for the Fair, a pretty book for children has been published. It is a story in rhyme, - entitled “ The Three Bears.” The author is aPhfla delphia lady, “A. L. E.” Upon the cover Isapie ture of a bear, and the .upper half of the book is eat - to the shape-of Mr. Bruin, on the nieture. The pictures were drawn upon stone by 4prai, colored by Pbarazinj and bound by Mr. Harding; and the whole is given to the. Fair. Every child will want one of these, aB they will find them nowhere else. And another memento of the Fair is a beautiful bound book of stories, .entitled “ The Children’s Hour.” It was published expressly for the Fair. The edition only came from the binders yesterday noon. The pictures are very beautiful, and the pries isonly a dollar and a half. “ The Life of Captain "Waiter Newhall,” tHat was sold at the New York Fair, will also .be found here. Tho children will not be likely to forget this part of the exhibition. The ladies have made large quantities of dolls’ clothing. This is something that .no toy store offers to female young America. How the juvenile eyes will sparkle as they range over the wardrobe for their pets! The ladies have made the garments to the latest style, and in a manner that the children will by no means be the . last to appreciate. To children of a larger "growth there are many things that will prove attractive in the children’s depart ment.-' Pretty bronzes, fans, and other fancy ,r ood 3 are displayed, that many a little one, wiil”pur chase as a present to father or mother, but will buy it in the children’s department to swell the re ceipts of that branch of the grand enterprise, with, which children are identified. ■ - . “Every child that buysa toy. Heals the wouads of some brave boy,” is the inscription in -letters of forest emerald upon the western end of the hall, and this every littlo visitor will understand at first glance. . There arc 3 number of models of raeingboats, sent from New England, worth possessing. The price of the largest is $9. They are of fine wood, indeed, with oars and rudders , complete, varnished and mounted, making at once an ornament and a study. These .will not be found in faney. Neither will tha miniature houses that are offered in the Children’s Department of the Fair. One of the prettiest of these, and their most , valued possession, was relin quished to the soldiers by the little daughters of Mr. Casper Souder,’ Jr.—a- sacrifice that none can - so well appreciate as those in like position. There are two other Lilliputian houses that will rivet the attention" oflittle visitors. They are precise minia tures of sumptuous residences, the walls covered to satin paper, carpeted in moquotto, with pictures to rich frames upon the walls, windows. draped in lace and brocatelle, furniture ofla test style, in rosewood; from sculicry to attic wholly complete, and practi cal in every detail. A family of people, ineluding grandparents and babes, are in full possession. This is the most elaborate affair of the kind we have even seen;; It cost-a thousand dollars,. ’ " A ; litUe; reaturv 'Truia tne JVeir ! York Fair will amuse the visitors. It is a model of au “ old sol dicr’s home} 33 with, tents beside it, and figures of soldiers reclining upon the grass! A flag-staff is be fore it. A figure of a veteran, with one leg gone, stands in the foreground, beside an open box. A penny dropped into the box disappears into a re ceptacle below.; In falling it touches a spring, and up jumps a little inscription, “thank you!” Thi3 follows the donating of every penny. In New Tort the old ; soldier received six hundred dollars in nickels. How much shall w o receive from the juve niles of Philadelphia f The oid soldier wilt be found , by the counter of Miss Lizzies Gratz, a young lady who has not only devotod 1 her entire timo andser. vices, day and.night, since tko preparations beganj ' but has personally presented a : great quantity of valuable articles. Some of the . dolls at her stand are the most perfect things of the kind ever shown to the public eye. They range in price up to $4O. One in the character of Sappho, in perfect costume, lyre included, and another us the Goddess of Lib erty, are really, remarkable. -Dolls wearing hair, dressed d la mode, with real cofteurs, are certainly to curious. ■' ■■■■.■: .......10 ,10 - .......15 .10 Orcoursea large displayofconfeetiouery Is made in tills particular quarter. The confectioners of tho city sent in their products In liberal abundance. The ladies have catered alike to the tastes of both boys'and girls, and, unless we are much mistaken, paternal pocket-books will be subjected to extensive drafts, in view of the curiosities and the staples of this department. We were all children once, and emperors have their toys as well as infants. There is nothing new in this remark, but here it just hap pens to fit. Everything sold in the Children’s De partihcntis marked at a moderate retail price by those competent to fix a valuation for the various articles. Many doubtless, will purchase largely,, preserving their purMiases intact* until the next holiday season, and forestalling the visitations of Santa Claus. ; : . •pts. $1.75 8.00 .pts. 250 4.00 .pts. 2.50 4.00 siGKOr. .blitz’s nxinniTiox. .$lO.OO, . 3.50 . 3.50 . 2.00 . 2.00 Opening from the.
