f rm. FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1804. 43--We can take no notice of anonymous commu nications. Wo do not return rejected manuscripts. j*g- voluntary corrospondonco is solloitod fromall parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, It Will b'o paid for. ' The President and tlic Platform, The committee appointed by the National Union Convention yesterday formally an nounced to tlio President; his renomina tion, and in a ft tv days; his letter of accept ance, will be published. • In this docu ment, no doubt, : the President ‘will use so excellent an opportunity of .■reaffirming with greater emphasis the principles of the platform, and conclusively showing .the true radical spirit of the 'Union party. No one can so well answer.the charges that the •Union party is more conservative than the. Cleveland faction impressively as the Pre sident. Each word lie utters in accepting this nomination .-will'be weighed by the whole country, and his letter, if it be more than a formal answer, will be, we trust, a full declaration of principles. In liis reply to ex-Governor Dennison, Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Lincoln, with -'characteristic prudence and candor, reserved liis formal acceptance of tlio nomi nation until lie had carefully examined the principles which arc offered with it; yet lie did not omit to approve at once, and with earnestness, the resolution of so amending the Constitution, as to prohibit slavery. There is no reason to doubt that Mr. Lin coln believes that the principles declared by the Convention to be the only principles upon which wb' chn henceforth exist as a nation, and wb could, have no stronger assurance of our success in the campaign than the fact that wc enter it with a tho roughly radical creed, a thoroughly radical candidate. Copperhead Courtesy, The World is one of the. most', persistent advocates of newspaper courtesy in the country. It takes pride in its deportment. It is not given to harsh phrases. It preaches courtesy, and yet, in an editorial on the no mination of Mr. Lincoln, we have such phrases as those : “ A rail-splitting buffoon and a boorish tailor, both from the . back woods, both growing up in micouth igno rance." “The tail does not shame the head, nor the head the tail.” “ The.coun try is asked to consider the claims of two ignorant, .boorish, tiiird-rate backwoods lawyers; V; Let it be remembered that the World is speaking of the President of the UnitccffStates, and of a gentleman who, until this rebellion destroyed partisanship, was an; honored member of the Democratic party. The editor of the World professes to be a gentleman. Some of his friends in this city are about to give him a gold watch, in appreciation of his many.yirtues as a “ gen-, tleman and a patriot.” .We submit that he docs not increase that appreciation' by speaking thus of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, and one of our most honored sons. No party licensej no devotion to organiza-' tion, no amount of partisanship, can justify. this manner of attacking a political- oppo nent. Abraham Lincoln niay be a rai.l - buffoon, but the great Doijooas did not think him an unworthy foeman when they travelled Illinois together. Andrew Johnson may bo a “ boor ish tailor," hut. in fhe Senate of the . United .States he was the peer of Jef ferson: Davis, This sort of warfare we. must apologize for noticing. . Does the World intend to carry on. its campaign in that style ? Are: we to have ’ this coarse, malignant partisanship .until November?. We shall leave this .writer a monopoly of his phrases, for ho decent journalist will; care to enter a controversy which is opened by an assault-as cniel, brutal, and uncalled for as this last asbault of the World. Sala oil the Fort Pillow Massacre. Mr. Sara, the American Special Corrcs . pondout of the London Daily Telegraph, hiving returned from his flying. visit to Mexico, where, far from his . particular mission being acknowledged and honored, he was looked.upon as a spy, has written a . letter from New. York, dated May 7th, which was published in London on the fflst. . In tlus epistle, as in most of its predecessors, ' there is more verbiage than thought, rho doniontade than fact.. He speculates upon: the then expected successes of Grant, the then invisibility of Lee, and the presumed intention of the liebels, to let Richmond “slide,” in order that Lee might "retreat into North Carolina,” adding " a design even of a skillful* divergence to the West and:. a sudden attack on Cin cinnati is imputed. ,to him,” which will bo very; new intelligence bere.. Moreover, Mr. Sara says that the event of General Grant’s superior strategy gain ing Kim, a. bloodless victory, and Lee’s Whole army being “cut Off, surrounded, and captured, would be hardly satisfactory to those fierce politicians who desire to see the Fort Billow slaughter avenged by .the ' refusal of quarter to the Confederates in Virginia.”. Mr. Sara greatly mistakes the character of the; Unionists, who, however “fierce” in politics, are not deficient in the gentle humanities-, of: life. As to the massacre ..at Fort Pillow, where, he ad- mits,: >ff‘ no quarter ’ was the war-cry* of the Confederates, who . put three hundred negroes to death in cokl.blood,” Mr. Sala says, in the spirit of an Old Bailey lawyer,* trying to pick a hole in the indictment: “ I assume the slaughterhut wjis their blood cold ? Stay not this awful battue have been carried: on by men infuriated by ■the resistance of their enemies? ” and he quotes a labored defence of the murderers, put out by certain persons of Southern: sympathies ‘in New York, with whom ho conversed to this effect: “ Our men,” they say, “came in flushed and savage with fighting; found the niggers, and killed all. they found. The officers did What they could. to stop the slaughter. General Forrest even blew out the brains Of one of bis own men to save a negro’s life, but these efforts were of no avail, and' the Confederates were for a time as unccm trolable as tKe British atßadajos and-St., ScbastiJin, as the French at Seville. How many hundreds were slain by tiic Prussians in the same qmpeut after Waterloo ? How many by the Duke of Cumberland’s troops in the rout after Culloden? Our men’s blood was rip., They behaved like demons, if you will, but nothing could stop them. They were Southerners. They came from that South where for years it luis been the law of the land that, for a black mania raise his hand, be it so much as his-little finger, against a while, is' a crime punishable by death'. The law may have been a cruel and wicked one ; hut they were born under . it. They found their former bondsmen in arms against them, and they put them to the sword.” The italics in one of the above sentences are Mr. /Sara’s own, and we only* regret •that, accomplished writer as he is, and gentleman though lie is reported to be, he al lowb'Uic argument to pass without denounc ing it as inhuman and rineliTistian, .*'lh6 massacre at Cawnpore, perpetrated by heathen Sepoys, is a compared, with the massacre of the negroes at Fort Pillow, by men who, at least, profess to be. Chris tians. History will strongly mark the dif ference of degree in these bloody crimes. The New York Tribune accepts mination of Mr. Lincoln, and announces its intention to support liim. ‘While doing this, it criticises; his Administration very frankly, and says it would have preferred another man. The Evening Post is very severe upon the nomination, and does not Commit itself to Mr. Lincoln’s support. Jk ■writer in the Tribune says: “ All men who ever lived were Rovers of li berty for themselves. Takqdin, Gesleu, Chaiiles 11., Land, Philip 11., Alya, Louis XIV., George 111., Dr. Sam J?Jm ton,” etc., etc. Will some historical stu dent give us a reason for thus placing the name of poor Dr. Johnson in the list with Tarqoin and Geslee ? General Butler and the Newspapers, General Butler will never please the Copperheads. They abuse him in. the first place, and then abuse him for not patient ly submitting to their calumnies. Here is an example of the way in which ho is treated : "But during tlio past month Bntlorlins repeated ly written to tlio public journals over Ills own signa ture, which is something no high officer with a pro per sense of solf-rcspecfc would over do. lto has written to the Krpjrss respecting somo reports about his brothers will j to tho Kveniny Pest to de fend his shaky military reputation, and lately ho has had the bad taste to address Senator Garrett Davis, because the latter proposed an investigation into the very serious charges made against him by Governor Fcirpont, of Virginia. Who over heard of Generals McClellan, Grant, Mcado, lhoma3, Hancock, or any other educated officer, lighting their battles in the newspapers to vindicate, their reputation In the held?” Why should not Gen. Butler write to the newspapers ? They denounce him in tlio most malignant way. They- slander his dead 'brother,- and respect not the most/ sacred feelings of his nature. Because he is in the field must lie submit lo calumnies? And ns to the “bad taste", of addressing Mr. Senator Davis, wo submit that his let ter was in good taste, and thc.Scuntor, in a recent: speech, spoke the same opinion. If, these newspapers do not desire any com-- munications from Gen.': Butler, let them be more caveful of the statements they make about him. Our fair friends of the Bair have had so much trouble, so much worriment and tri bulation'of spirit, that they will enjoy this pretty compliment from the New York Evening PoU: » - . ■-> s . ■ “As a citfsen oC New York, I might wish that Philadelphia, should bo second to her in all good deeds, as she Is. in roost; but in her Sanitary Pair sho is: first., .justice, .must bo donb: though the heavens fall.

Art I.lternmre for tho Great Fair. Edward Lear’s “ Book of Nonsense,’.’ republished hero, last year, by Mr. W. 11. ;H*ward, then of Chestnut street, made as much laughter, in its way, as any amusing brochure of pen and pencil in later times. Mr. Lear, who therein produced very, ab surd rhymes, illustrated by very grotesque outlines of figures, is the friend or Alfred Tennyson, who addressed a sonnet to him, ranks, as one ot tke best Greek scholars in England, is a great;travollcr and an excellent landscape-painter, and has contributed largely to periodical literature. His "Book of Nonsense” contains one hundred and thirteen gro tesque drawings and the same number of absurd rhymes, in which the character of the principal per sonage was usually conveyed in an adjective of the author’s own invention, dovetailed into the last lino. Thus, under the portrait of a lady with cork-screw curls projecting over all parts of her head, and with . her body covered in a sack. (not a sacqiw, Mr. Com positor,') ornamented with black spots, ran the Inscription, ' - 4 ' There was a young person of Crete,. Whose toilette was far from complete; She dressed in a sack, * Spiekle-speckled with black. That onibliferous person of Crete. ” . Above all, Mr. Lear devoted himself to tile special ridicule of bad rhymes, which are far too prevalent, not merely among, the. Cockney poetlings of Eng-* land, but among American versifiers, who ought to know better.. For example, helms— -4 fffliere was a young person of Smyrna, Whose grandmother .threatened to burn her. " Hf-talks of a young lady of Portugal, “ whose ideas were excessively nault'cei,'” of a man of Moldavia, .‘‘ who had the most curious behavior;” of another from Columbia, “who was thirsty, and called out for some beerj” of “ a fepalo from Dorking, who went out a walking he makes Ischia rhyme viith friskier, Apulia with peculiar, North with broth, Lucca with forsook her, Jamaica with Quaker, alter the fashion of Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, and such mere rhyme spinners. ' Imitations of “The .Book, of Nonsense” speedily sprung up with mushroom-like rapidity of growth. •Several in London; one, called “ The Book of Bub bles,” inNew York, •whichstrikesusasbeingof Lon don origin. But here, among, us, as a contribution to the. Fair, is “Tbt New Book of Nonsense,” got up by Messrs. Ashmead Jc Evans, 724 Chestnut street, the designs executed by some of our bost artists, the subjects and the rhymes wholly new, and all got up within four Weeks. The etlition.is limited to fifteen hundred copies, at $2 eaeh, and Ashmead & Evans will present the whole gross receipts of the sale to ’ the Ladies’ Committee for the benefit of the Sanita ry Fair. The work, which is handsomely bound in gilt cloth, can be obtained only at the Fair, and in the publishers’store, 721 Chestnut street. The drawings, engraved on wood, are. generally more artistieai than Mr. Lear’s. The title-page and plate 15, (The Miser at tho Fair,) are indeed in the manner of Richard Doyle’s well-known drawings—., one specimen of which is the Weekly'title of Punch. ."We would point out, as rising greatly above carica ture, plate 11, The Young Lady with Bows; 16; The Sultana bowstringed; 18, the “full, voluptu-i. ons, and o’er grown bulk” of the. Queboe damsel, “ who dressed very low in the neck,” and is what' Sam Weller would call “a regular stunnerl9, The Fair at the Fair, selling the bdok; 23, the exqui sitely-graeeful figure of: the “ Young person from Maine 31, The Yale student meeting itis parents; 49, The German tenor and his femnle admirers, and 52,.The Artist. It would have been as well, const-, dering whence tho subjects came, if plates 14 and 40 had been omitted, and plate 25 is in bad taste in a. work not sectarian. Two-thirds of the subjects are executed, with great spirit, in Mr. Lear’s grotesque.outline manner, and will bear comparison with most of his productions— of that class. The rhymes are generally good, but not invariably so. Mr. Lear always preserved the rythm, especially in his closing line, whereas here, through carelessness wo suppose, that line is some-, times'ncedlessly prolonged by two or throe extra syllables, which, so to speak,.” tit row itout of gear.” 4 4 4 rhere was a young lady who said,. 4 1 seldom wear hall* on my head; 1 carry my locks about in a box, Y .

Two numbers or Our Daily Fare aro, thus far, in circulation, and we need not say that its popularity has been instant and universal. In paper and print it is admirable, and it boasts the attraction of a; clover head-piece, designed by Mr. Belaud.. .The articles are all variously readable, and ail are more or less characteristic of the spirit of the Fair. The gems of the number before us are poems or our own poets, Boker, Bayard Tuylos and Buchanan Bead, and one or two by Dr. Holmcs—-quito as good as simi lar featuresin the New York Spirit of the Pair. “ The" Fair Movoment in the Boyal States” is a half-his torical paper, from the very appreciative pen of Sir. Charles J. Stilld, and will be valuable to the future historian. Mr. Benson. J. Bossing contributes a few. antiquarian letters about Washington and General Schuyler, and Dr. Francis Bieber gives an interest ing, reminiseoncerof; Calhoun, The minor articles give us the gossip of the Fair, drollorie? from the camp, anecdotes, Fair conundrums, facotlm, Sc., In tlio old style or “ editor’s tables.”,- Possibly there is too much editorial and tattle in these opening num bers ; but this may bo doomed hypercritical. Oaf Daily Fare .will become even more interesting as it progresses, and its present size is hardly largo enough, wo fear, for all the good things It has in'store. As a specimen of publication, the Fair Journal reflects great credit upon the good taste of its publisher, Mr. Childs, (who has assisted the Fair in so many ways), its printers, Messrs- Bingwalt i Brown, and its corps of amatour editors, who do as'wall, perhaps, as could be expected from a company of ladies and gentlomen who have had no experience in the practical newspaper way. We shall give full notice of the new Fair paper at an early day.

CATASTROPHE OS THE HUDSON RIVER, THE STEAMER BERKSHIRE BURNED, FORTY" OB FIFTY' LIVES LOST [Report of the Associated Press. 3 RowDomy N. Y., June 9.—The steamer Berk shire, running between Hudson and New. York, and belonging to the Hudson Steamboat Company, was destroyed by fire last night,' at Esop’s Island, eight miles below this -place. She was going down to New York. The fire originated’from an explosion of a lamp in the oil room. The loss of life cannot yet bo correctly ascertained, but it is thought that least forty persons perished, most of them being burned to death in their state-rooms. The New York -Evening Post, of yesterday, gives the following particulars: .. The Berkshire started from Hudson between five and six o’clock last evening, with a large passenger list, said by persons on .board, who were saved, to have numbered quite two hundred persons. . . "When the fire broke out, nearly ail the passengers had retired to their rooms or berths, and were either asleep or preparing-to rest for the night when the alarmwas given. A few persons who had not retired, gave all the earlywarnings. It does not appear that there was any general shout or cry of fire. The fire caught, at about ten o’clock, in some bales of hay, which were packed in huge piles near the bow of the steamer. The wind wasdriowing from the South, and the fia mbs were rapidly carried along the main or mid dle deck, extending so'quickly and so fiercely that little if any opportunity, was given to extinguish .'them.*' l It had been determined, apparently, to give no general alarm b and even those persons .who-had friends on board, and wlio themselves wore making efforts to. escape, hurried-to tie berths or state rooms to rouse their friends, but warned them to make as little noise or disturbance as possible. It seems that the expectation of. the officers was that all on board could be saved, and they acted under this impression. The effort on the part of some persons on board to prevent any confusion was probably ; a ino3t disas trous mistake. Many individuals are known to have been below, whence others had just escaped with th'eir.iires from, the suffocating smoke. : It soon became evident that no efforts could save the vessel, and she was headed for the shore. • The women and children on board comprised about bnc-third the passengers. These were assisted, as far as practicable, by their immediate friends and other persons. ■ The boat ran ashore with' most of her passengers yet on board. She lay'with' her bow in.two or three lcet or water,'so that, probablv, half the passengers escaped by jumping into the water and wading or swimming ashore. : A considerable portion, however, hnd boon driven to the stern by the extreme heat, and that end of the boat was stilt in deep water. . ■" ' Persons who : could swim gained the, shore, bat many eonld not help themselves, and floated down with the tide; Ono individual among this number counted thirty or forty, among them some women, one of whom had lost lliioo children, who wore either burned or drowned. Some of the party who were thus floating down the river disappeared, while others were rescued by boats which came from a schooner that hove In sight, and also from the steamer James Baldwin. THE LOST AITD SAVED. A considerable majority of the passengers are un doubtedly safe. Probably the number to3t—more tlmn half ’of whom aro supposed to hove been burned on board—yil! reach forty or fifty. . The passengers state that probably no one es caped front the ladles’ cabin. It Is thought that about forty wore lost, perhaps more, as only seventy or eighty are known to have escaped. The passen gers were mostly from Hudson and Catskill. The river Is being dragged, and the wreck searched ior bodies. ■ , Joel Beam, of Hyde Park, had his leg broken, and Andrew Lopcr probably fatally injurod, by the fall oftho smoke-stack, this morning.. Tho boat was valued at $200,000, and was fully In sured. , . Poughkeepsie, June o.—The following persons are known to have .been lost by the burning of the steamer Berkshire : v - .

That committee, I havo the honor or now inform ing you, is present. On its behalf I have also the honor of presenting you with a cony of the resolit tions or platform adopted by that Coßvontion as ex pressive of their sense, and of tho sense of all. tUe loyal.people of the country whom it represents, of the principles and policy that should characterize tho admimsirn tion of the Government in tho present condition of the country. 1 need not say to you, sir, that the Convention, in thus unanimously nominating you for re-election, but gave utterance to the almost universal voice of the loyal people of the country. To doubt of your triumphant election would bo little short of aban doning the hope of tho final suppression of the rc belHon and tho restoration of the authority of the Government over tho insurgent States. Neither the Convention nor those represented; by that body en tertain any doubts as to the final result under your Administration, sustained by that loyal people and by our noble army and gallant navy. -Neither did thc Oonvention, nor do this committee, doubt tho spgedy suppression of this • most wicked and unpro voked rebellion. , A copy of the resolutions was handed to tUe Pre sident. I should say, Mr. President, Gov, Dennison added, it would be the pleasure of the committee to commu nicate to you within a few days, through one of its most- accomplished members, Mr. Curtis, of New- York, by letter, more at length tho circumstances under which’you have been placed in nomination lor the Presidency. The President, taking the resolutions from his pocket,where he hud placed them, and unfolding the same, said: Mr. Chairman ; and Gentlemen of the Com mittee; 1 will neither conceal, my: gratification nor restrain the expression of my gratitude that the Union people, through their-Convention, in the continued cilbrt to save and advance the nation, have deemed inc.not unworthy to remain in my present position., T.kridw no reason to doubt that I shall accept the nomination tendered 5 and yet, perhaps, „ I should not declare definitely before reading and - considering what is called the platform. I will say now, however, I ap prove the declaration in favor of so amend-, ing the Constitution as to prohibit slavery throughout tho nation. When the pooplo in revolt, with one** hundred days of explicit no tice that - they could within those dajs resume their allegiance without overthrowing their institu tions, and that they could not resume it.afterwards, elect to stand out, such .an amendment to tho Con stitution as now proposed becomes a fitting'and necessary conclusion to the final success of tho Union cause. Such alone can meet and cover all cavils. We now perceive its importance, and em brace it in the joint hamc3 of Liberty and Union. Letus labor to give it legal form and practical ' effect. At the conclusion of tho. President's speech all of the committee shook him cordially by the hand, and offered tlicir personal congratulations. ; ■ THE PRESIDENT AND THU NATIONAL UNTON LEAGUE : The members of the National UnionLeaguc ad journed yesterday from Baltimore to this city, called upon the Prcsidcnttivis aftemoon 3 ami had an inter view in the East room. They were cordially re ceived. ; The chairman of the delegation spoke to the Pre sident as follows: . ; , ; > . Me. PTiKS3i>KNT: X have the honor QSUntrodacinar to you representatives from the Union Leagues, anil to congratulate you upon your ronomination, and to assure you that we will no.t fail, at tho polls, to give yon tho’ support that your services in the past so highly deserve. 'We feel honored in doing this, for we are assured that we are aiding in re-elcvating to'the proud'position of President of the United Stales one so highly worthy of it, one among not the least of whose claims is, that he was the emanci pator of four millions of bondmen. 4 The President replied as follows: ’ Gently.men : I can only say, in' response: to the remarks of your chairman, that I am grateful for the renewed confidence which has been accorded to me both by the Convention and by tho National League. lam not Insensible, at all, to the personal compliment there* is in this, yet I do not allow myself to'believe that any . but a small portion ofit is to be'appropriated as a personal compli ment. The ..Convention and the nation, I am assured, are alike animated by a higher view of the interests of the country for tho present and the great future, and that the part I am pn* titled to appropriate for .a compliment is only that part which I may lay hold of as being iho opinion ofihe Convention and of tho League that I aip not entirely unworthy to be. ontrustedwith the place X have occupied for ; the last three years. I have not permitted, myself, gentloßfcbn, to conclude that I am the best man in the country, but lam .reminded in this connection'of a story,of an old Butch fanner who remarked to a companion once that it was not best to swop horses when crossing streams. [Laughter and applause;] THE PRESIDENT SERENADED—HE MAKER A SPEECH. The Ohio delegation this evening, accompanied by Professor Mentor’s celebrated brass band, waited upon the President and tendered him a sere nade. A large number of persons had assembled at the White House prior to the arrival of the band, in expectation that a serenade .would take place.. After the band had performed “ Hail to the Chief,” and the Soldiers’ Chorus from. tho or •“ Faust,” the President made his appearance oh the steps of the pQrtieo. His appearance elicited three rousing eheeil, after which he addressed the sere nades as follows: Gentlemen : lam very much obliged to you for this compliment. X have just been saving, anil as I have lust said it I will repeat it—the hardest of all speeches is that in response to a serenade. I never know what to say on such occasions. I suppose you. have done me this kindness in connection with the action of the Baltimore Convention, which' has ro- Gently taken place, and with the course of which I ’am very well satisfied, daughter and applause.] •• What we want still more than Baltimore Conven- tions or Presidential elections is success under Gen. Grant. .[Cries of “Good!” and applause.] I pro pose that you constantly bear in mind that the sup port you owo to the brave officers and soldiers In the field is of tho very first importance, and we should therefore lend all, our energies to that point. Now, without detaining you any longer, I propose that you help me to close up what I am now saying with, three rousing cheer-s for Gen. Grant and the officers .and soldiers under his command.” x‘ Three hearty cheers were.then e glvQn - " the President leading off, and waving' hirf hat with as much earnestness as the most enthusiastic indi vidual present. Three rousing cheers were thou given for the nominees of the Convention— “ Lincoln, and John son”—after which the band played an rlfr.from the Bohemian-Girl, “Happy Moments,” from Mari tana, and the,American overture, - At the conclusion r thQ assemblage proceeded to the residence >of Secretary Chase, where several National airs were performed; The Secretary being absent from, the city, the sorenaders called upon James C. Whitmore, Ohio State Agent, and per formed several choice pieces,. ; ; The following resolutions were passed, on Thurs day night, by the Grand Council of the ,Union League, in session at Baltimore, a copy of which was to-day presented to the President, by the com mittee appointed for tho purpose: .

Mr. HOWARD introduced a bill to establish certain wagou, military, and post roads in Michigan, with the amendment recommended by the Committee on Public Lunds, which was passed. INTERCOURSE WITH STATES IN REBELLION. Mr. MORRILL, from the Committee on Commerce, moved to take up the bill la addition to several acts concerning commercial intercourse botween the loyal and disloyal States, ipul to provide for the collection of captured and abandoned property, and the prevention of fraudsiu States declared in insurrection. A PEACE RESOLUTION OFFERED. Mr. DAVIS offered a joint resolution to restore peace among the people of the United States, which was read. Objection was made to the reception of tho resolution, and the Chair deoidtd that the joint resolution was not in order. . ' Mr. DAVIS contended that tho objections were void, as the resolution had been read by its title. Sir. JOHNSON said ho would vote against both the; resolutions, because he thought they were HI advised, but nevertheless he thought they should be disposed of. Mr. CON NESS thought the resolutions were insurrec tionary, and he was not in favor of taking the vote on : their rejection or adoptiou. \ Air. LANE moved the rejection of the resolutions. Mr. 1) AVIS wished the resolutions laid on the table, to winch objection was made. Air. HOWARD said tho Chair had decided-that the resolutions were not before us, in fact that wo had not received tlip paper. The. gentleman: from Kentucky had appealed from that decision, and the only question was, whether the decision of the Chair should be sus .tained. - . .' . Mr. GRIMES said the bill was before tho Senate, having been read, and the motion of the Senator from Indiana to reject the bill was in order. Air. DAVIS contended that as hia resolutions were read by their title, they were before the Senate. The decision of ihe Chair was sustained, and the rcsolutiouawere not received* •raa COLLECTION OF ABASDOSED I'HOPERTY IX IX- SURRECTIOXARY DISTRICTS. The consideration of the bill offered by Mr. Morrill was then resumed. , , . * „ Mr. MORRILL said the fceoeral character of the bill was iwo-fold. The act of March, 1863, provided agents to collect certain property of persons In. rebellion. By certain other acts, all commercial intercourse between ibo loyal and disluval States was declared to be forbid den. This act simply provided for the appointment of agents, under the direction of the Secretary of the Trea sury, who shall collect abandoned and other property in insurrectionary districts. Under the provisions of the law of 1861, the President was authorized to allow commercial Intercourse in certain cases. The Commit tee therefore endeavor, in their bill, to prohibit commer cial intercourse between the States and sections which are declared by the President to be in insurrection. This bill, as amended, also simply provides that it shall be the duty of the Secretary of tho Treasury to appoint agents, whose business it shall be to collect all aban doned property which has been declared to be taxable, to be converted to the use and support of the army. A MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE—ANOTHER COMMIT TEE OF CONFERENCE. A message was received from the Honse, asking for another committee of conference on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill.- . On motion of Mr. FESSENDEN a committee was ap pointed to meet that of the Honse on tho subject. THE FORMER BILE RESUMED. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill. : ‘ ' Mr. COLLAMER said the difficulty was this, was there any provision in tbebill in case we took . Richmond to keep the people from starvation ? How, under tho pro * vi.>ionsor the bill, were we to get along m places we hold before we have effectually and fully crushed the rebellion? The idea.of reclaiming any State or any part of a State to allegiance until the military power of the rebellion is subdued is preposterous. The military power of the rebellion must be subdued before we can declare any'State in the Union. Mr. HENDERSON said his people were very desirous to open up a restricted trade with the people in rebel lion, believing that a lawful commerce would do as much towards reclaiming people in rebellion as out armed mem We have either to trade with these re claimed people, starve them, or feed them at the ex pense of the commissary department of our matching, armies; He hoped no such measure as this wouldal; the present time be adopted, andjhat, at least, it weald not Im pressed. ! " ■ :. ■ Mr. TEN EYCK-sald the committee regarded this bill as of the utmost .importance, and though he would xql for its postponement until such time as wasmaaesatTs factory to Che Senators,-he thought every day it was postponed was doing serious injury to the Union cause. We, under the present system of unrestricted trade, were not only feeding rebels,,bufc supplying them with powder and bullets. He could mentiou facts which would make everr American Senator s bosom tingle with shame. He was afraid that in many quarters our efforts were directed more to trade than to tne crushing of the rebellion . ~ - - Mr. SA 0 LSBURY would ask whether these acts and things had been done by members of the ruling party.. Mr. TEN EYCK said be knew.no party in this ,strug gle, and only expressed his fears and desires to root up all sort of usurpation, come from where it may. ' The further consideration of the bill was then post- poned. THE BILL TO PROHIBITTHB PAYMENT OF MONEY.IN X.IEU OF NfTLITARY SERVICES—AN. AMENDMENT MAE3NO FUTURE DRAFTS FOR ONE YEAR. ; , The unfinished business of-yesterday taking prece dence, the bill to prohibit the discharge of persons from. liability to military duty by reason of the payment, of money, came up. : . , ■ . , Mr. ‘wJLbON .withdrew bis amendment of yesterday tu order to allow Mr. Collamer to introduce amend ments which met his approval, and which are as foi- Andie it further enacted, That all calls for drafts hereafter made under the act entitled an act lor enrollia and calling out the national forces and for other pr-g poses, approved March Bd, 1563, and of any act in addi tion to or amendment thereof, may be for a term not ex- And be it further enacted, That the act shall not ex tend to or include drafts to bo made in any district or sub-dirihiou thereof to fill its quota of calls already made and to be completed under the law in force before the passage hereof. . . , , , • - Andbeiifitriher.enacied, That no person drafted on future calls shall bo liable to bo again drafted until the present enrolment shall be exhausted. And Veit further enacted, That the number of men furnished from any district for the service of the United States, beyond ami above its qnota on.calls heretofore made,aud tho term of service of each man, shall be con sidered and allowed to. said district in calls hereafter said, if we see fit to draftthese men for three years we take the same course as for one year, ‘ and tbe only question was the disposition or indispo sition of the person to serve if drafted, which the Go vernment has never taken into consideration, auu, he hoped, never would. He baddieard no argument in. favor of this'decrease of the time of tho draft, except from those who were liable to and dreaded the draft. Mr. NESMITH, of Oregon, said the crisis had come when it was necessary for every man to be called upon ; lor the defence of the country. He would have been glad topopularize the draft to the people, but tho hour Bad come when there was no other alternative bat to resort to stringent measures t troops forsneh time as was necessary. He thought the commutation clause should be repealed. He had always opposed it, believing that if a man was a soldier.he should b* like the soldier of the South, a soldier for the war. ; • . ■Mr. HENDRICKS did not believe thatyve could obtam -iaeu enongh by a compulsory draft to whip Robert E. Lee. He thought the volunteering had J>ee.n great during this spring, as.the honorable chairman of Mili tary Affairs hoped and expected it would be. This was due to the increased bounties, the authorities say, not withstanding tho boasts made that we need men for three vears. Thus we were eating out the life-blood of the country. He favored the cl&u e allowing the Pre sident to draft men for a term not exceeding one year a* an independent proposition. . . Mr; LANE, of Indiana, said only seven per cent of . your men had been brought into your army under your commutation clause. He opposed The arguments of Ins colleague, that heavy bounties would procure men to fill our armies. He said that Lee’s army w 0.3 com-, posed mainly of conscripts, and again, in the glorious war of 1812, our . army was .composed mainly of" conscripts* He dissented from the position of his colleague, that the country should cry peace and accept pence* He did so .whether the war lasted one year, five years, or one hundred years. No matter what may be the drains upon the blood of the people, he would hever .be content until the rebel lion was crushed, -at whatever cost it-iniglit be done. Because gTeat sacrificesb&Ye been made it is no reason why wo should abandon this contest for the grandest principle the world ever knew. If we ftbandonthm grand principle, then, indeed, has the sacri/U* of blood and treasure we hayemade beeu useless. Therresl . dent of the United States is now tbe instrument m God’s hands to write the grandest page in human history. Mr. RICHARDSON said the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Lane) was mistaken in'saying that the men of lSi2 were drafted men. fiecould make as efliciont spidiors in live months wiih good officers us you could in five , years with bad ones; s If we are going to conduct this war to a successful conclusion we will, perhaps,, have to call for the services of himself and his honorable friend from Indiana, Mr, Lane. .... . Mr, LANE, of Indiana, said a lot of politicians in Washington had sent abroad the announcement that the Administration had departed from its original pur pose to restore the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was. These politicians had in a great measure, by creating this impression, interfered with the, prosecu tion of the war. , . Mr. HENDRICKS wished to know if it was not a very proper question for the people to ask whether this war was now being waged for tue restoratioivof tho Consti tution as.it is and the Union as it was. He would semi commissioners to the South whenever a peace alike honorable to tlio North and South could be secured. As a' Christian gentleman, ho behoved his colleague would do likewise. What Union does tho present struggle secure? NotUiDjr bnt the more carcass of our former Union. He repeated whathe had said m Indiana, that in this war wo had no right to interfere with the institution of slavery, at the expense ot the blood and . treasure of the North. Vlf slavery disappears should be as an incident of the war. Let it perish. In his opinion, however, it was never right to.do wrong. In his votes to support the armies he should never sup .port any policy which was subversive of one of the cherished principles; of tho Constitution.;' He renewed : ihe question asked, yesterday. How many men were there in: the field? Before we send more was it not. rightwe should know what bad become of those we had sent already. ; This information certainly was in the possession of the Wiir.Dopartmflnt.■ , ■„ -- '. ..

Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill, which was passed, to insure the more certain enforcement of the law regulat ion the carrying of passengers iu ships aud steam ves sels, mainly between New York and California. . It provides heavy penalties for taking an excess of passen gers; $lO,OOO for the California lines, ami requires ail steamers to receive specie for the Government on siirii term-, ns arc allowed to other carriers. The bill provides that goods, trunks, carpet-bags, baggage, &c., bo searched in the United States as in Europe, and for tho increase of revenue inspectors, to the number of sixty, mainly on the Canada frontier, coming up. -• Mr. BROOKS, of New York, remarked, he supposed the bill was a dire necessity, in conjunction with an almost prohibitory tariff aud the internal revenue bill, but when this bill went into operation, an American would scarcely know his own country, aud generally suppose himself to be in Europe. aud not in tho United States. He asked if the increase of inspectors to the number of sixty was necessary,and what compensation ibex were t* have? Mr. ELIOT, of Massachusetts, answered they were necessary, and that their compensation would be the same as other inspectors. Thebiil, he added, wasalso a necessity of the times. ' The bill was then passed. TRADE OX THE XORTHERX PROXTIERS. The IIon«e also passed the Senate bill regulating fo reign and coasting trade on tbe Northern, Northeastern, aud Northwestern frontiers. It requires boats, sloops, &c., navigating otherwise than by sea, ioLo enrolled as other vessels, and makes them liable to the rules and. regulations concerning registered vessels. THE ISSUE OF DUPLICATE RONDS LOST IN THE The House considered the Senate joint resolution repeal ing the act for the relief of E. F. & Samuel A.

During the debate it was said that theso bonds were in the mails ,that had been, recovered, and that several, of these bonds had made their appearance. Mr. HALE, of Pennsylvania, read evidence to show that neither Mr. Wood, of Boston, one of the owners, nor his agent, had ever heard of the recovery of any of these bonds. The Government could lose nothing by issuing dupli cates, as sufficient security was given by the gentlemen named.' The joint resolution was passed, and the House ad journed. “ ■•• . ■■ : •' CCorresppndencoof The Press.] Wew York, June 8,1861. CRIMINAL . AFFAIRS.

The result was an interview with Major Paulino Cushman, the great “lion” of the present time. Miss Cushman is a lady of magnificent physique; tall, commanding, and graceful. Possessed of one of those* calm, self-asserting, faces which is mascu line without surpassing an. actual femininity, with thin, determined lipSj/and pleasant eyes, she in no wise disappoints the observer who may have formed an ideal conception of her appearance from the sug gestive events of her singular career. In conversa- tion' slie is'slow and exact, and almost sententious in her method of expression. All this is somewhat sur- when w r e remember, the apparently inflexi ble nature of that rule, established by experience, which teaches us that to bo notable and high-mind ed is* equivalent to being execrably homely and shockingly awkward. Homeliness and eminence are the gemini that walk the world hand in hand. . . The “Major,” having retired from tho military semcOj is about adopting the profession on which . sherclled previous to the outbreak of the rebellion:: that of the stage. Her biography will issue; from the press—probably that of Derby—in the course of a few days. Meanwhile, the prehensile Barnum holds her upon the Museum boards for the delecta tion of the publio. A couple of highwaymen were arrested yester day, charged with having robbed one of our promi nent merchants by force and arms, -They went to work according to the host models of the gentlemen of the road; stopped tho “victim’s” carriage upon the highway, presented pistols, alarmed John. Thomas who sat upon the box, and succeeded in ex torting this Insignificant sum of fifteen dollars in pa per currency. The whole affair was thoroughly sen sational, 1 and novol tails method. One of the rob bers formerly belonged to tho famous regiment of Zouaves commanded by Colone! “Billy Wilson.” LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS. Chariest 1.

SECRETARY CHASE IN TOWN. CLAUDE DUVALISM. SHIP NEWS. Public Intertiunmcnts. The dreat Central Fair. It may bo said thfi.t the whole machinery of this greaUnstitution is in good working order, and the hurry and bustle of the first two days have passed away, much to the gratification of the visitors. Considerable attention was paid to the purchase of articles during yesterday. Those who desired gro ceries, coal, or any other things for daily house hold use, were quite free in lt is proper to aay that everything sold at the Fair is at the regular market rate. The crowd of visitors yesterday was very large, and it limes that any of the avenues became temporarily blocked. Persons watking leisurely around from one department to another soon becomp lost as to their precise geographical position, from which stand-point they cannot tell the north from the south, nor the east from the west. It is there fore difficult for visitors generally to know the pre cise location of any department which they may specially desire to visit. In order to obviate the difficulty, It is suggested that a small diagram of the general plan of the buildings bo printed, for the use of visitors, for which a small sum might be charged, to pay expenses. Thisarrangement would enable £thc visitor to more readily find any depart ment that may be desired. >rorts presents, etc. On the beautiful and well-filled table appropriated: to labor, income, and revenue, we observe a fine marble bust of General Grant; also, a magnificent uniform for the same General, aud a suit of clothes for President Lincoln; a vase of wax fruit for Gen Meade, and a vase of skeleton flowers for the Pre“ sklent of the United States. These articles are put up for subscription, the necessary papers being at hand to receive signatures and stated amounts of .monoy. In addition to the. articles noticed In our general report, wc may state that two pair of boots made ,by F. Boldefeld, of Potfcs villc, have been received by Mrs...T. W. Forney; also a number of bracelets from the Holy Land, made of olive wood from Judea and various other sorts of wood peculiar to that country, the gift of J?ev. Ifm. .White. Williams; from JVIr. Charles Pleasants, ofSunbury, Pa., two boxes of very beau tUurclothing for children; also, from Mrs. A. F, Clapp, of Sunbnry, articles of tho same kind; a plate and panel of a carriage used by Wm. Penn—a rare curiosity, contributed by Sarah JR. Waiawright, of Lower Merion. 3n order to display the articles sent to the Com mittee on Labor,. Income and Itcvcnue, another table has’been prepared, in the central part of Union avenue, opposite the entrance to thcWra. Penn Parlor. jio»\ s. r. citask. The Honorable Secretary of tho Treasury, who was in Hew York yesterday, was telegraphed to by Mr. John Welsh, tho chairman of tho executive committee, to visit the Fair on his return to Wash ington.

The great advantages possessed by this celebrated Ma chine over all others in use are almost too well known in this community to require reiteration, nevertheless, as there are thousands of: persons now in the city, and thousands .more who are to Visit it while the Fair continues, it is well to bear in mind that the warerooms of the Wheeler & Wilson Company, arc at 704 Chestnut street, above Se venth. Strangers especially wilffmd it a matter of interest in tlieir perambulations to call at 701,'and the most sensible thing that they .can do is to’ carry home a “Wheeler fit Wilson. 11 Fvery Machine gold is warranted to give perfect satisfaction.) or the money will be returned to tin; purchaser.

They are splendid suits, being both military and civil, and visitors can have the opportunity o f subscribing towards purchasing them from the Fair, and presenting them to President Lincoln, General Grant,' Admiral Farragut, and Colonel Cresman. - The Fair yesterday was again thronged with visitors, and among the articles of taste and utility examined by the fair and curious, there was nothing that elicited more discriminating praise, than the celebrated Florence Sewing Machines. The tJßar num Self-Sewer" (one of which is attached to every one of these machines) is also attracting much at tention, and a very capital arrangement it is. ' The office of the “Florence” is at 630 Chestnut street, which seems to have been ascertained by visitors generally, judging from the crowds of customers we there saw. All the i!
