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.

RECEPTION OV THE HAWAIIAN ENVOY.
Tlio President has given an audience of rocoptlon
to tho Hon. Elisha 11. Allen, Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty
Kamehamoha, King or tlio Hawaiian Islands. Mr.
Allen, In presenting his credentials, said:
S ou a . ro a ' var « that Oittzons of tho United States
residing in tho Hawaiian Kingdom outnumber all
otiier foreigners, and have a very large intorost in
trade, commerce, and agriculture. 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. Its people are
free, nnd its laws, language, and religion arc largely
tho fruits or our own teachings and example. The
distinguished part which, you, Sir. Minister, havo
acted in tho history of that Interesting country,
is well known hero. I gives. mo pleasure to assure
you of my sincere desire to do what I can to rondot
your sojourn in tho United States agreoable to yourf
soil, satisfactory to your sovereign, and beneficial to
the Hawaiian people.

j; The Ist and 4tli Divisions of the Corps reached
here this morning. It was 3 o’clock A. M. when
the men began the march. When day dawned,
the rebels on the: north side of the Ohicfca
hominy observed the moving column; and opened
on it with two guns of very heavy calibre. Several
men were injured while, marching In the ranks.
Colonel Hoffnian’s brigado of the jth Division im
mediately took possession or this sido of the railroad
bridge.
, A barricade was thrown across the railroad.about
half a mile below this station. Between us and the
rebels flows the Chlckahominy, a sinuous, sluggish
stream, bounded on oithor side; by jungles and mo
rasses, from which are continually arising dampness
and noxious vapors. At this point"the stream is not
more than one hundred yards in width, but the
bridgo is threo times as long. All the track Is in
excellent running order, a little rusty from long dis
use, but still quite complete, with switches and side
tracks in good repair.
During the afternoon the rebels mounted a heavy,
piece of ordnance upon a truck, and’approached
within a short distance of the bridgo. ’ They threw
some 6-inch shells over "our men, which elicited con
siderable criticism from those happening to make
narrow escapes.- Rifle-pits were dug and a iongjino
of fortifications begun- For a time the skirmishers
were friendly, and conversed with each other across
the riyer; but before dark they were using every;
species of finesse to cause one another to expose their
bodeis to be shot. : :

the 7th New York, captured the colors, of the 26th
"Virginia. After holding the works some hours,’ the-;
enemy massed a superior force.upon our troops, and
drove them out. During .the day rifle-pits were
pushed to within twenty-file paces of the enemy’s
'entrenchments. •
In this engagement the 2d Army Corps lost "
heavily in officers. Gen.. Tvlor, cominanding4th

held by the division of Gen. Harlow; blit were met
by the brigades of Col. Smythe, ,(2d" Brigade, 2d Di
vision) and Gen. Owen, {3d Brigade,2d Division).
Charging across an open field, they woro allowed to
approach within twenty paces. . .Terrible volleys
greeted them, and many fell ; the others; retreating
in confusion. Their olfleors tried to urge "them for-;;
ward, heating them with clubbed muskets and .
• Bwords. But they did not again daro to face such a
'terrible fire as they knew was awaiting them. Many
“prisoners were taken.' The; aggregate of prisoners .
'taken by the 2d Army Corps during Ihe day was up

rebels. One man owned' that his regimont had just
arrived from Florida. It is safe to surmise from tho
names of their organizations given by captured re
bels yesterday,that Gen. Lee has sent to every part
of the .Confederacy for reinforcements, and that his
every available regiment has been ordered to con
front the Yankee army.
During the day our wounded men, lying in the

they were defended only by skirmishers. Thus delu

Hooker’s Corps anti Geary’s IMt'lsion
The Battle-field near Dallas,
[Correspondence of The Press. 3 'vy
As I write at this'late hour skirnilslungwith the
: enemy is prolonging two long days of contest, fought
almost entirely by (lie 20th Corps, j I will give you
a liasty summary of our operations since the 23d. 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. Like tbo stono stalagmite gradually worn away
by the water dripping from the stalactite, wo are
wearing away; but our record shall lire forever.”

The t/tion of the Bhltimore Convention has boon
rcoeivq by tlio Now York press with tho usual <Ha
sonand of expression. Tho Tribune calmly endorses
tho njmlnatlons, although, oyidontly, with an
ohlirpi glanco of doting fondness upon Its favorite
“ on&Jerm” principle. It arguos profoundly upon tho
oxiatiig issues, and omhmeos tho opportunity for
exoojating tho shallow Oopporhead party. Tho
Tim*, after somo general discussion of nominations,
obsesvos: “Tho party Is thoroughly agrood that
Abrtham Idncoln dosorvos woil 0/ the country; but
notidy conceives that this nomination is given Mm
as { reward. Ho, himself, would bo tho last man to
claim it as Each. H? has done hts duty wisely and

attested Ms thorough dovotion to the cause; lias

Kcbelilom and before the world, as Its foromostex
ponont; and because all changes of tried for un
tried men, in n great national emergency, of neces
sity Involves more or less risk,” The Sun does not
dole out much of its usual pennyworth of wisdom;
upon the subject. Perhaps a papor that soils for a
penny cannot afford to ho profound and analytical
upon a mutter of so much import.
Tim World, ever polished and elegant, ever talk
ing of Themistoclcs, Brutus, or Dcntatus, makes Us
oxordlnm thus: “ Tho age of statesmen is gone;
the ngo or rail-splitters and tailors, of buffoons,
boors, and fanatics, has succeeded.” Mr. Lincoln
is a “rail-splitting.buffoon;” Andrew Johnson a
“boorish tailor. 51 This is its peroration: “In a
crisis of the most appalling magnitude, requiring
statesmanship of tho highest order, the country Is
nsked to ebnsidertheclaims.of two ignorant, boorish,
third-rate back-woods lawyers, for tke-highest sta
tion in the Government.; Such nominations in such
a conjuncture are an insult to the common sense
of the people. God save the Republic.”
The' Nctvs declares that: “No one is surprised at
- the nomination of Abraham Lincoln to the Presi
dency, by tho Baltimore. Convention. Disgusting
ns it,mivy be, it was -as inevitable as that tho sun
shoulutweed maggots in a dead dog.” Following
on in the same elevated train of thought, it states;
that: “Tho sublime impudence of the man, in thus
thrusting biraaolf for re-election bofore a peoplo
that utterly abhor and despise him, is in strict ac
cordance 'with his character and antecedents.’ 5

Ac firm of Boody & Go., bankers and brokers, of

vicious ingenuity of their ex-office boy. It,appears
that they sect a clerk with their deposit for the day
to the Marino Bank. On the way thither ho was
accosted by, Roth, the offender, who ascertained
from him the, exact amount of the deposit ho was to
make. Armed with this information, the latter sub
sequently went to the Bank, and, representing that
there had been a mistake in the amount,withdrew
the entire sum, and returned it, less S6,OSS. Upon
this speculation he founded a fast Career, gave wine

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

tine when lie crossed the river Jordan, from the
thirsty regions of Moab, and planted his steps ?on

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.”

Tho liondon paperß bear their usual portion of
variously prejudiced criticism in relation to the late

furnishes tho severest chapter of modern war; yot
none, however willing to deny It, pretend to deny
that groat advantage rests with the national
generals, while all tho friends of America seem con
fident ol the success of Grant. Tho London Times,
of tho 25th ult., contains the best-measured Anglo
rebel view of the situation, but really appears to be
as ignorant and puzzled as the rebels themselves.

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

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.

CITY ITEMS.
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. Murdoch, Generals Kan
oock, Meade, and Grant, and Bishops Wood, Kings

now be had at his counters. ,

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.

We respectfully invite your attention to and conside
ration of the justly celebrated and reliable remedy for
Dyspepsia, Beartbarn, Debility, and Prostration. 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. We es
pecially recommend them to LADIES, and particularly
to those suffering from Debility, Weakness, and Pros
tration. Half a wine glass of these “Bitters” three or
four times a day wili produce a remarkable healthy
change in persons greatly debilitated. The “Goldhtt
