When used, It will be paid for. The Proposed Increase of Fare on the Pass<^„g Cr Boads. It liarclly gurprisea us to hear that our’ /pasStiger railway companies are about to "raise their fare one cent, anti we cannot -tell, but may suspect, to what further impo sition and unjustifiable tax upon the pa tient public such an action may lead. / the nature of corporation?/, (which are popularly supposed to Ue without souls,) we must expect that they will, whenever opportunity pre sents itself, “turn an honest pen ny” over their' ordinary gains. But it. -would surprise us highly to learn that they had in some moment of good-natured ex altation done the only reasonable thing under the circumstances, vie: lowered their prices one cent. Against the project ed t fts upon the public, WO, Qf course, pro lost. It is absurd, and laughable, and we might as well say mean, without troubling ourselves to give reason for opinion of conduct so exposed and unwise as that of the passenger rail way companies. This con duct is plainly an infringement upon the liberty of the citizen, and, we do not wonder that the people are so strongly averse to making one cent richer, by their loss, corporations which enjoy a perpe tuity and monopoly, and are in any case : rich and prosperous. We could not ad vise our passenger companies to pursue their announced project for reaping a benefit' without they have first acquired the consent of the public. So far from ibis being the case, the now attempt at ■exaction is universally unpopular. On other grounds than these we object to "the unwelcome innovation. It is a bad ■example, which favored corporations should never set, and should be very slow to fol- . low. The addition of expenses is, of course, given as excuse for a Change in fare. Eut surely this is the worst time to make ■the change. It is not modest even of mere money-makers. The present increase of travel, and the immense profits of the companies, far; more than, compensate for their expenses. At the moment they desire to impose the additional cent, the Great Sanitary Fair is being held, thou sands are coming to the city, and the rail roads are making money as they never made' money before. Even without a spe cial attraction in the city, the present price is, perhaps, more than sufficient. The stock of most of the roads now sells at from four to five hundred above the original price,; Measuring this fact, we cannot too severely condemn the action taken by the companies. The passenger traffic is sure to reap an average of large profits in the ordinary course of busi ness biit, if it is';, necessary to increase the fare to-save a few badly-managed and poorly-paying better • they ■should sink than the public should' suffer from tbeir uselessness. - By. stipulation in their charters the city •can take possession of some of the road 3, in certain cases. The case before us is one , which it can most emphatically threaten -with its veto. The public are threatened with a further advance of the price of gas. It is now SS. 50 per thousand cubic feet, and this is to bo raised to $3, besides the United States tax. Philadelphia is about as distant from Hie bituminous coal; which produces the best gas, m the English town of Plymouth, wheie the price of gas is 66 cents per thou sand cubic feet. In London, the price is $l.OB, and in Edinburgh $l.lO per thousand •cubic feet. Certainly we are favored here with an excessive charge. The difference is chiefly caused by_Jho_jnQnflnhr in mi ladelpllia-aa cnniracttKl-witfi the free com petition in England. For example, up to 1857, the city of London was lighted by two companies, each charging $1.44 per thousand cubic feet. A third company was established, which made 90 ceuts the maxi mum price, and the older companies had to reduce their charge to this. Subsequent arrangement between the competitors has raised the price to .$l.OB. ’• The English -companies,, incorporated by statute, have clauses in their respective Acts which re quire that common gas shall 'possess such .an illuminating power that the light from an argand burner of certain dimensions shall he as bright as so many sperm candles— this is commonly called “ candle-power;” moreover, each Gas-Act. provides, ’’ that ■certain chemical tests'shall be employed to secure purity, heavy penalties being read-. ijy recoverable for transgressing these coni ditions, and any-private consumer, on pay ment of a small fee, may have: the quality of his gas tested by an authorized exami ner, or may prefer his complaint before any metropolitan magistrate, who upon con viction of the peccant gas company," is bound to inflict the penalty. The highest price that, under any circumstances, can legally be charged for gas in London is $1.44 per thousand cubic feet, and, except" under very special circumstances, the rate is not to exceed $l.OB. The quality varies,: London is compelled to be content with ‘.‘twelve-candle power,” whereas Edin burgh has “thirty-candle” gas, though the price is only two cents more, per thousand cubic feet, than in London. Wherethegas is inferior, the bad‘color of the light renders it almost.mtolerably painful and injurious to the eyes, and the foetid odor is preju dicial to the health. The question for the ■consumer is not how much gas, but how •much light, he buys.; In this city, and.all through this country we believe, there are no'means of drawing this line, the quality I -of the gas, (its purity and illuminating power,) being left.entirely toThe conscience of the gas companies. : The .better the gas, the smaller its consumption, and the lower •our monthly or quarterly payments. to, the; ■gas company. If the price is to he. raised ■upon us, let us have the right, as in England, of ascertaining what is the quality of the riling we' pay for. , The Kichmond papers of the 7th'report that" Grant has,. fa]len;.baclh:to the'WMte House, army will not fight.

The commor olal relations with the United States, which are cou stantly increasing in Importance, and the geogra phical position of tho island as well, romlcr some further treaty stipulations desirable and highly im portant. The rapid growth of tliat portion of tho United States bordering on the Paoiiie, in produc tion and ootumorce, renders the products of tho Islands of great valuo to it, and the constantly in creasing trade of equal importance to tho Islands. The (besiro of tho King is to fostar the groat inte rests, so mutually advantageous, by tho most liberal policy, and ho feels assured, from tho history of the past interviews with the Government of tho United Stales, that tho same spirit will mark Its oourso in tho future. "Jo which the President replied: Sin: In ovory light in which the state of the Ha waiian Islands can bo contemplated, it is an object of profound interest for the United States. V rrtually. It was once a colony. It is now a noar and intimate neighbor ; it is a haven of shelter and refreshment. for our merchants, fishermen, seamen, and other citi zens, when, Oil tJioir lawful occasions, they aro navi gating the Eastorn seas and oceaM.

I am sitting behind a tree, with this page illumined by a candle, unsteady of purpose, and a target; for enterprising sharpshooters, who are honoring this locality with special music. Our skirmishers, within one hundred yards of the rebol breastworks, held by Hardee’s and Hood’s corps, am keeping the enemy’s eannoniers from mauuiDg a battery on their lines, os they have done all day.’ ThatiiSttery, which has swept our lines with canister,' has been kept useless all day.' They cannot use it; we canaot get at it without much slaughter. Wo moved at 4 A. M. of the 23d, and crossed the Etowah. At daylight on the aithi we moved to , Raccoon creek, and covered the movement of the army to the rebel flank, driving their cayalry In on to the Alatoona and Alabama reals. Johnston was on the. Alatoona road, intending to make a stand, - but wo out-manoeuvred him and joined our corps at Burnt Hickory. On the 25th, on the Hallos read, two miles below Pumpkin Tine, Creek, the' 2d Hivision of the 20th: Corps "encountered Hood’s and Hardee’s Corps alone. They fought desperately, and hold the rebs at bay until troops marching on parallel; roads could bo brought to our support. Colonel Patrick, of the 6th Ohio; fell dead. Also, Lieut. Hilt aid to Col. .Candy. The contest was .desperato. Hooker sent the 111th Pennsylvania tyro miles across the country to eommunicato .with'Williams on the Dallas road, and to prevent caralry from getting between the? two columns, witha-heavy skirmish, lino sufficiently In advance te-wheel the ..regiment Into lihe-of-battle as soon as attacked. They pene trated the forrest, found''Williams, and all returned! to the scene of conflict.. We had fought five hours. Williams and .Butterfield now moved to the at" tack, driving the enemy a mile. Johnston fought obstinately. In ah hour and a haU our- Rpes were pressed, and tho order camej" Forward - tho 2d Di vision on double quick.” Straight to their work they went, In the;face of tens of tkousanda'-of bullets, canister, snot, and shell; and allowing'those of the other divisions, who had exhausted- their ammuni tion, to pass through their,lines, when they assaulted the rebel linos and fought fiercely until an hour after dark. In this conflict we lost 375 men, but we drove the rebels two miles farther, holding the bal> tie-field in our possession. - Among the-missing is Lieutonant Davis, aid to G eneral Geary, as brave a soldier as "ever drew a Bword, and .as kind and gene rous as brave.' On the night of the 25th, works were thrown up within three hundred yards of those of the enemy. Heavy skirmishing has been going on all day to-day. Several attacks of the enemy have been repulsed. The fighting Is so severe that we think this Is the point where Johnson intends-standing to fight it out. .- We have ,a battle-flag and a number of pri soners. - Hooker’s corp 3 has certainly won laurels whleh everyman under his command feels proud of. In conversation with? an officeruf General Geary’s staff,, he remarked: “ Our divlsion has lost'one seventh of its entircstrength. We have seen more thunder and lightning,:.than-any other division in Sherman’s army or in tho armies, of the United States, This is a historical fact, for this old division is ever-la the front. ,We have drank deep draughts of blood. We never move in any column bat we are compelled; to draw the first- fire of the enemy and make the base rebs bite the dust, or mud, as It may bo.

PRkSIDKKT,; XIABIEB AND GENTLBJUEN : Afterwhat has been said in your hearing, and so admirably said, with so much feeling and with so much eloquence, ! can hardly expect that thisaudl enco will listen with patience to anything I am about to say.: I. shall, therefore, say very little. I know not, my friends, what form this project to erect a monument to the memory of Owen Lovojoy may take, in wbat material it may be wrought, or how its design may be fashioned.. But let me express the hope that the contributions will be large enough and liberal enough to allow you to erect in this, beautiful neighborhood, whcreOwen Lovejoy settled long ago, andwhero ho labored so long and offcotually to form and purify public monument, in ever-duriug bronze, ;a material so indestructible that an ; image formed by Tubal Cain himself, tbo world's earliest >rtffiecr in brass and Iron, might have lasted undeeayed in the present time. [Cheers.] In this durable material I would hope that sculp ture mighfc;exort the utmost eflbrts -in representing his features ; and impressing upon tlieifi , their grand expression of. high resolution, undaunted' courage, and unflinching; perseverance. [Loud cheers.] And then, iny friends,, an inhabitant of Princeton, standing: near it and . pointing it out to the.stranger, mlghfc'say to him, “That mon ument was erected to the memory of one who; was a Champion of the cause of universal liberty in, that tlmepast when the cause of universal liberty was fee ble and despised. Behold how the hand that framed him stamped upon liis manly brow tho seal of a vigor ous mind,an undaunted heart,and unshaken constan cy. He saw his brother, a previous champion in that noble causey struck down and murdered before hla eyes, and at that very moment, on , that very spot, ho devoted himself to :tho cause; of universal freedom; to that cause he gave the labors of his life, to that the labors of his life were de voted, and to it his life was at last sacrificed. He knew, that he should encounter scorn, obloquy, oppo sition. He feared them not. He met them ;ho de fied them ; he overcame them. Ho outltvcid the scorn ; he lived down the obloquy: he fought down the Opposition. .He saw the great cause in which lie was engaged on the eve of a glorious triumph. Before he died he saw it—not as Moses saw the pro mised land, ata distance. He saw it at his very feet. He saw it as Joshua saw the land of Pales tine when lie crossed the river Jordan, from the thirsty regions of Moab, and planted his steps ?on a soil frcsli with the dows and flowers of Heaven. Then If the person, whom I imagined, to speak were in the habit of drawing broad conclusions from particular instances, and deducing solemn and sub limo moralities, from the practical aspect of things, be might go on to say: . “Let no man who looks at this monument ovor.bo discouraged in a good cause. Lot him. first satisfy his conscience as to the merits of his oause,its trntk, its righteousness, its humanity. Lot him satisfy, .himself that lie is in the lino of his duty, and then let him enter upon it fearlessly, with a heart assured that he is approved, of his. God t .that his labor will bo crowned with success; that his, cause will finally triumph. Fur evil is temporary; evil is mortal; It Is doornod by a necessity of Its nature to yield to dissolution. But good Is .permanent, deathless, eternal, destined to prevail overall oppression, and sure of a glorious triumph; for G-od is with it.” Mnrltcts by Telegraph.

The details of the groat battles In America p„ro calculated rathor to enUaneC’than diminish uie Station with which the telegrams wero received, iibero has been no exaggeration, no ov<*ratraiaod. description of the conflicts or the carnage. If, in deed, it be recollected that even tho long- reports of furious fighting, which wo yesterday published, still leave two days of Sanguinary action unac counted for, it must bq, allowed that war has never come before ua in a shaj*o so appalling. Perhaps the ppvy be proud of the pre-eminence* taUltSj teye ■■eertftlnly. fongl« more ae3n; ra toiy: l fOt ft longer an u W lth moro dreadful slaughter than any nation before them. It would not be ita •possible to match the results of any one day’s battlG with stories from, tlio wars of the,Old World; but never, we should think, in the history of man, were five such battles as these compressed into six successive days. It is hard to conceive how naturo could have supported tlio exhaustion of the strain. We have been told that after a single day’s hard fighting the lassitude and reaction m even a vic torious army tire such that ‘a ny fresh force might snatch its laurels from it; whoroas here aro two armies hotly engaged in the work of slaughter from the morning of Thursday till the night of Tuesday, with scarcely the intermission of ah hour. On every day except Saturday there was n pitched battle, contested with the utmost fury; and even. Saturday was devoted to marching amf fighting on tho march. Nor were these prodigious operations divided among immense numbers brought into ac tion by relays. Neither army numbered ap parently over one hundred thousand, men, and of these every man seemed to have been: en gaged in every battle.-Indeed, we are fexpressly told that the Federal “reserves” were brought up on the very fist day. The desperate ferocity of tho fighting may be inferred from the fuel now reported that the slaughter was produced without the aid of artillery. No rifled guns or murderous shells did execution among crowded masses.. The great bat tle of Friday, which is said to havo cost tho Fede rate alone upward of ten thousand men, was a h tnd to-hnnd fight. .The Confederates were posted in tho well-known woods fn the; vicinity of Ohancellors ville, where Hooker once received so bloody a re pulse, and so dense was the thicket that cannon could not come into play. Regiment against regiment, and man against man, the combatants fired and hacked at each other in this tangled wilderness till night closed In; and an inter cepted report from Gem Lee actually tolls us that on his side the heaviest loss was in men killed out right, and that he had comparatively few wounded. It this be a correct version of the despatch, it gives a more impressive idea of the fury of tho cohfihjt then any other of the incidents reported. It i* Q ' • * indeed, that whatever may bn f . annieV, and of their inferi oruy in respect to tho patriot legions of the fought in this campaign with.a a J?i as Obstinate as that of their enemies. No more indifferent or disafiocted mercenaries could havo been Jed from a battle like that at Wilderness to j three more such battles at Spottsytvania. Be the impulse what it niay, the Fcderalsarc fighting in stem reality, aud with a spirit asTosolute aa that of their adversaries. * ;* * Grant has stamped a new character on the tactics of 'the Federate., No other igenera! would either have advanced upon the Wilderness after tho severe battle of the sth, or followed up an almost victorious thoinrh retiring enemy after tho still harder fight ing on the Gth. None but ho, again, would have at tacked his adversary so resolutely on theSth and on the 9th, or held his ground so tenaciously in spite of failuro. Under his command the Army of the Po tomac has achieved in invading yirginia an amount of success never achieved before, except in repelling invasion. The Confederate forces were ohee arrest ed by McClellan, and once by Meade, but that was when they thought' to carry war into Northern ter ritory. Grant alone has done more than this. Ho has advanced toward Richmond, and though he has made but little way, and has lost half his army, ho has not been driven back. Whether his position can be retained, or his success improved, is a ques tion which the next mail will resolve for us. iPnWic £ntertainment<i. Strawberry Festival.— Tke Kensington Me thodist Episcopal Sabbath School will give a grand strawberry festival at ; Musical Fund Hail on next Wednesday evening. In addition to the festival, there will be choice selections of vocal music from a talented choir. An interesting time may be antici pated. As the*object is a worthy one, they will, no doubt, meet with abundant success in their under taking. An address will -bo delivered by Rev. Bishop Simpson. ; Ban Rice’s Great Show.— This great institu tion ;of trained horses, mules, dogs, and monkeys will close this evening, after a week of great popularity. There will be a matinee given this afternoon for the accommodation of ladies and children. : Dan Rice has well maintained his popu larity as a humorist and trainer of horses. His celebrated blood equine Excelsior is one of the most wonderful performing animals ever seen.. Alone he is worth the price of admission.

The Wheeler & Wilson Skwtng Machine And thh Great Central Fair.— We cannot im press too deeply upon the minds of our readers the facts that the; most important article of furniture for . every family to possess is a Sewing Machine ; that the most opportune time to purchase Is note (this is especially true to strangers who are here; visitiDg the Great Central Fair), and that the best Machine in the world is the Wheeler .& Wilson, sold: at their- splondid warerooms, No. 704 {Chest nut street. This Machine embodies .every perfee- Monsr''it"is" SO” simple in its mechanism that it is almost impossible for it to get out of order; so easily managed that a mere child can operate if accurately. without fatigue.; rp ornamental, that no well-fur nished parlor can be regarded as complete without it; and, withal, so cheap, that'in these times of in flated prices in other. things, buyers are amazed at their reasonableness and moderation. The speci mens in the Great Fair are universally admired,, and we would again urge J upon visitors that before leaving the city they call at 704 Chestnut street and make their selections. Every Wheeler St Wilsox Machine sold is warranted to give perfect satisfac tion, or the money will be refunded to the purchaser. The; “Florence’ 1 Sewing Machine, sold at 630 Chestnut street, is the only machine in use that' is invariably supplied with“ Barnum’s Self-Sewer,” free of charge. Independent of this'invaluable ap pendage, the “ Florence” is regarded by all who try it as the gem of Sewing Machines, performing the greatest variety, of work, and doing it with a facility never heretofore, attained.. The “Florence” per forms no less than four dijferent stitches, changing from one to the other in an instant, as the nature of the material to. be sewed may require. Tho : great demand for this machine is fully warranted by its merits; and we advise all who have hot yet done so to go to 630 Chestnut street at once, and make their selections. Each machine made by this company is sold with a gurahteeto give the most complete faction to buyers, or the money is returned; Buy ing a “ Florence, ”.itwill be seen, therefore, is clearly done without work. BEARTirirL Specimens op Embroidery.—We were yesterday shown, at the elegant establishment of-Messrs. Grovor A. Baker, No. 730 Chestnut street, some of the most exquisite Embroidered garments that wo have ever examined-work done on the famous Grover & Baker Sewing Machine, Besides being unsurpassed by any other, machine in the world for all kinds .of fancy and plain family sewing, this is the only sewing machine in existence that has achieved the art of executing fine embroidery. The advantages of this, as the ladies will witness, can hardly be overestimated.'. The reputation of the Grover & Baker Machine is too well established to require comment, and we need, therefore, hardly remind strangers how'visiting the city to attend the Fair, and who expect' to purchase sewing machines before-leaving, that the Grover and Baker rooms, No. 730 Chestnut street, is the place to go to. Messrs. Somers St Sow’s Glothiwo Ewromuar, Wo. 026 Obrstwot Street, was yesterday thronged all day with strangers in the city visiting tho Fair, showing that the great fame of this old house: is. not confined to Philadelphia ; alone. Persons wishing to select, really elegant and well-made gar ments, at reasonable prices, can find their wishes gratified , in greater perfection at 025 Chestnut street, nhdor Jayne’s Hall, than anywhere else, In. ..this city. There 7 Is a*degroo of grace and gentility about their garments that strikes every gentleman of taste favorably. Give them a call. - Messrs. E. G. Wiistmaw & 00., No. 31S Ghost nut street, by being the' most extensive rnakors of and dealers in these , goods, and doing, tho largest Confectionery trade in Philadelphia, are enabled (notwithstanding they use the very finest and purest, materials, and produce only the choicest prepara tions) to sell at prices which come readily within the reach or the million. Wo, therefore, regard E. G. Whitman i Go. ns public benefactors,and earnestly recommend that all who use Confections buy them at 31S Chestnut street. Visitors to the Groat Fair should especially bear this in mind. The Sahitart Fair, now in progress in this city for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers, will bo a great success. The number of persons who visited it yesterday was countless, and tho same may be said of tho number of tons of Coal delivered annually from tho yard of W. W. Alter, No. 935 North Ninth street. Cause: He sells the best and cheapest coal In tho city. Excellent Photographs. — Mr. F. Gutekunst, Nos. 701 and 706-Areh street, has recently executed fino photographic pictures, In various sizes and styles, of Mr. James E.

Its many thousand readers will no doubt miss from its columns the omnipre3ont adver tisementof Granville Stokes, the fashionable elo thier, of No. 009 Chestnut street, as all advertise* ments are excluded. The Great Nave.—a most remarkable incident occurred the other day at the Central Fair about dinner time, that excited some commotion. It was reported that the notorious “Nave” or the Fair, al ways to be seen on Union Avenue, was -settling. If the report had got abroad that Floyd \ms seltUng for his dinner, there could not have been more wonder and cxcitemont, but when it was ascertained ho didn’t settle, but only gave an arcft-look, everybody and everything subsided. We would say to visitors that w lien they have seen the Fair, to take a look in at Ohas, Stokes & Co.’s Clothing House, under the Continental, and see the rapid settling done there.

The proprietors are proud to acknowledge the unparalleled, success which has attended the sale of their valuable preparation, known in nearly every portion of the civilized world as the “GOLDEN BITTERB. ” We risk nothing when we term them a valuable pre paration, for they are one of the few articles of th present day whlvh are not a humbug ; and we are wll ling and able to satisfy any person or persons call upon ua, that the celebrated Bitters” are a genuine, bona fide- hygienic article. It is the wish of ...« proprietors lhat the virtue of the article be tested be. fore condemning. A decision of their merits by any ona who hae tried them Is worth a million of purchased bogUB testimonials. For creating a healthy APPETITE they are invaluable, and are unequalled as a TONIC. They are mild in their action, and operate in giving vigor and strength to the system—not by any change they produce in the solids, but throngh the medium of the living principle. They are purely VEGETABLE being composed of Gentian Root, Calamus, Sassafras, and many other remedial agents of the Vegetable world, all preserved in Jamaica Rum and Sherry Wine. AS A BEVERAGE the? are the most wholesome, invigorating, and pala table stimulant ever offered to the pnblic. And the fact- c of their being prepared chemically and scientifically precludes the possibility of a bitter, unpleasant taste, common to Bitters generally offered for sale.
