The Grand Movement of General Grant. Tlie strategy of General Grant is alto gether different from that of the other Union generals wlio have commanded in 'Virginia. Not until lie; assumed the . di- Teciiou of tlie war did the Army of the Potomac penetrate beyond the line of the Bapklan ; he, in three weeks; turned every rebel position, and, victorious in almost every battle, compelled the enemy to retreat, and placed his army in front of Richmond. Those who have argued that these brilliant anovements resulted merely in the. .attain-; inenl of the position which McClellan. reached by the Peninsular route, have conveniently/forgotten that Grant did not wish simply to reach Richmond, hut to fight the rebel army; and have altogether overlooked the im portant fact that an advance by the Peninsula was a .part of the grand , plan. The fact remains that General G rant sue- : eessfully and rapidly marched his. army through Central Virginia, fighting great ? battles and inflicting heavy loss upon .the .enemy; and, taking ten Richmonds in moral •effect. . He proved the power of his army, the soundness of his strategy, by doing • what the rebels, from the beginning of the War, declared could not be done. The campaign now is altogether ■unpre cedented. Por the first time during the war Richmond is to be attacked from; the south. The James river has been crossed without opposition by the Army of the Potomac, and the military situation is lite rally revolutionized. The movement is hold, but it is by a prudent daring that Grant has won all his victories. If Rich mond is impregnahly. fortified on the east and north, Grant has.certainly wasted nor time nor men in assaulting it. lie has tested the defences before which General McClellan rested quietly for so many weeks, and has refused to. hurl his army upon the front of a colossal fort, while he may with: more hope of success attack it Horn the rear. Again, the reduction of Richmond by a siege in front is impossible. Vicksburg was besieged in the rear, and if the present campaign is not to be ended by an open battle, it is imperative that Grant should’ hold the Richmond and Danville Railroad.' • This great movement, if successfully exe cuted, isolates Richmond. All its south western‘communications are cut, and Lee is placed in a position in which lie would ■find defeat to be ruin. Again, never be fore has the rebel capita], never has the re bel array, been shut off from; the Confedera cy. Grant, by this movement, intercepts reinforcements, and compels Lee to de pend only upon the resources of Richmond and -Virginia alone. Sheridan's cavalry will not be idle in the destruction of rail roads and canals. When the Army of the Potomac crossed the James' river at City Point, lire cam paign of Gen. Butler ended. His troops are now practically under tlie direction of . General Grant, and one immense .army acts directly against Lee. Grant is pro bably already on his -way to Manchester, . a town which is to Richmond what Cam ; den is to Philadelphia, and the boldest, inost brilliant, most vigorous .experiment of the war is begum. . Andrew Johnson's Speech. The speech of Gov. Andbbw Johnson, ot Nashville, -will be read with interest. It 5s blunt, strong, earnest,; and eloquent,:;; with an irresistible sweep of argument and common sense. His opinion of Southern aristocracy is characteristic of this noble Democrat, and may be commended to those who denounce the Union ticketbecause its candidates are men from the people. An dkew Johnson has the genius of a patriot and an orator, or lie would never hare ut tered to the brave East Tennesseans these words which we now recall to show the spirit of the man; My countrymen! my. heart yearns toward you; I love you; Inm one of you,; I hare climbed yondor mountains that you have climbed; yonder mountains • rock-ribbed and glowing In the sunshine, in whose gorges, in whose caverns; your sons, hunted dike * ■wild beasts, have fallen to rise no more.' Ido not speak of those things to draw your tears. : It is not time for tears, but Tor blows, Ispeak of them that I may Are your heart with holyindlgnation, and nerve: your arms 'for unconquerable fight. - And I speak of them because the mountains seem to talk to mo. My home is among the mountains, and though it is not far away, 1 cannot go to it. It is the place where I met her, and loved heT, and married her who is the mother of my children. Do I not love the moun tains, then 1 And if liberty is to espire, if freedom Is to be destroyed, H my country, in all its. length and breadth, is to tremble beneath the oppressors’ tread, lef the flag, tlio dearbid flag, the last flag, bo • planted on yon rocky heights; and upon it let there bo this inscription : “ Here. is the end of.all that is dear to, the heart and sacred to the memory •of man.” Popular Kconomy During tUe >Var. As a contrast to the easy sophisms of the liOndon Times oh the’late economy move ment inaugurated hy the ladies of Wash ington, we take pleasure in publishing the followingi-letter from Bichand Cobden to a gcntlomnn of this city. It will not he forgotten that Mr. Coispkn is the foremost advocate of “ Free Trade” in the world.. While the Hwnes, haying no moral appre ciation of our struggle, counsels extrava gance, this honest friend of mankind ad vises the 11 most rigid economy r” lExtract from,a letter from ESriiard_ Cgbden, dated Mid- littret, Sussex, April 4, 1661. 3 “We are looking anxiously for the news from your side of tlic next campaign. l For myseir, I have never considered that the result of your terrible civil war was to be decided by fighting alone. It is the disorganization of the South, ihrough the opera tion of the war. on the African race, that I have always regarded us the real source of the weakness and danger of the Confederates. But for this cause to have full effect requires lime. “ Muring that time I fear vou will be incurring an •enormous expenditure, and accumulating a torriblo ■debt, This fs net all j l-am afraid, whilst the Go vernment is necessarily spending vast sums, your -citizens are individually giving way to extravagant private habits. This Is. lighting the candle at both • ends, ir persevered in It will lead you.to terrible •financial difficulties. The only way. in which you can continue to furnish extraordinary supplies to the Government Is by the rigid practice of economy -on the part of Individuals.

Oonoas.” ' Mb. Vai.landiguam has taken a: bold Step. A banished mail —banished not only after a trial by a . military commission, .for. a military offence, but -with the approval of •the President and the people of the United; States—he has dared to return and defy the laws which punished him. His speech at Hamilton, Ohio, is actually wicked in its insinuation that the President could possi bly wish to take liis life, and,atrocious in its subtle attempt to excite his followers to vio lence. What action the Government will take we need not anticipate, but: it is right that it should be prompt and thorough. Yallandioiiam’s reasons for this audacious •movement are not difficult to guess.

Kelley, Governor Randall, and Judge Adams, will be followed by im mense assemblages throughout the country. The great ratification meeting in Philadel phia will soon bo held, and will be larger and more enthusiastic for the brief delay. WASHINGTON. THE DEBATE ON THE ABOLITION OE SLAVERY.

THE CASES OB’ GENS. SCHEKOk AND BLAIR. • Mr. TRUMBULL, from the Committee on the Judicia ry, reported upon the resolmion. of Garrett Davis, and the eubsti ute upon the cases of Gens. Schenck and Blair, that so far as Subtmek is concerned, noexpres** 1 sion of opinion on the part of the committee, or action on the part of , the Senate, is demanded. Before the as sembling: of the Congress to which-he bad been elected, he resigned his position in tbe army, and has not since attempted to resume it. : r, : ■ The caseof Blniria different. . He continued to hold the oflieo of Major General, but the coounUiiee express no opinion whether eotttiuniug to discharge fctic duties of the office made incompatible with those of members of Congress would disqualify him for takiag bis seat. They quote t>e Constitution and precedent to show that the two offices are inb6inpafible, au'l the acceptance of the second vacates the first!' and -deprecate the growing irregularity recently introduced of revoking resigna tions after their acceptance. Ti eyreport the following: Hesolved t That an officer of the United States, v,hose resignation has been duly accepted aud taken effect, or who, haying been elected a member of either Hon*e ofL, Congress, qualifies and enters on ihedischarge of thw; dutie> of a member, is thereby, in either case.ont/'nf the office previously held, aud it without a new appointment in the maanipwXv,c-;,iAd hr . the Constitution. . ; y , : THE NAVAL / Mr. HALE introdneed. from the a bill to repeal so much ol ibe naval app*V ;&rL*Tas propnates $25,000 to the MariKu«ly • navy yard.

The bill gmuting lands to Wisconslm to aid in build ing military roads, was, on motion of Mr. DOOLITTLE, called up, and, after dbbate, passed. . Mr. FOSTER, from the Judiciary Committee,reported lack tbe bill relating to civil actions ;in the District of Columbia, with amendment, which was ordered to be printed.- . THE PROPOSED BUREAU OP FRMDMEN’S AFFAIRS, - The bill to establish a Bureau of Freedoura’s. Affairs then came up in order, the amendment being that of Mr. Saulsbury. . •_ Mr. SAULSBURY, in supporting-his amendment to the bill securing the constitutional rights of white per sons, rejoiced that one portion of tbe dbmiaaut party, had condemned the infringement which had been made upon the constitutional rights of white persons by the Administration- Sir. HARLAN said the resolutions of Mr. Saulsbury were identical with the words of the Constitution, and : it would seem idle tore enact thewbrdsbf- the Con3ti . tution. i-v,' Mr.. POWELL contended that there was nothing im proper at this time in reaffirming the'iime-honored principles of the Constitotion. ": s •••;•.. Mr. TEN EYCK would ask the Senator from D elaware (Mr. Saulsbury) whethertheseamendmentswill amount to anything, one way or . Mr. SAULSBURY replied thatitvrft3 always well to uphold and maintain the doctrines of civil liberty as enunciated in the ConstHutioar^ Mr. TEN EYCK rejoined thatihe did nbrtbink U ne-: -cessary on every occasion, to rea§£to, re-enact, and recapitulate the principles dftbeCbn&titaHoa. ‘ . Mr. CARLTLB said the'bill would - simply change masters for tbe slaves. He moved to postpone the whole subject until December,’-' Rejected—yeas 23, nays 13, • ' •- iV: •- ■ *•••• Mr.JSAULSBURY’S amendment was rejected-yeas S, Mr. GRIMES avowed his deamination^voteagainst the bill, at the sarnie time avowing his-detemina tion to do everything in bis power to elevate and im prove the colored race. He opposed tbe bin in many of its details, as being defective, conteuding'that it con ferred a most extraordinary power upon the commis sioners who arc to execute its provisions, they not being required to give bonds or to be confirmed byCoakress,ana italfcQallows these commissoners to make.the terms on which abandoned estates. are to-be cultivated.- He: said this bill inculcated the system'of peon slavery, and was in no way calculated to promote the interests of freedmen; and though he was sorry to differ from his friends, he would be obliged to vote against the bill, as to vote for it, he. would have to violate some of the fun damental principles of this Government. Mr; SUMNER expressed his surprise at the course of Mr. Grimes. Hetbouglit he bad acted unnaturally in his course, and also, in his remarks, done the bill injus tice. fie defended the bill from what he considered the misrepresentations of the Senator from lowa.: He could well understand how the Senator from West Virginia (Mr. Willey) could oppose the bill, as all his instincts . were in favor of slavehuntiug and slavemongers. but he was not prepared for the opposition of the Senator irom lowa, who had always been found on the side of free dom and against the instincts of the Biaveraouger. Mr. HICKS considered it amer%w&ste of Jirne to. dis , cuss this question of slavery longer.'Let:fi§ apply <mr whole energies to the suppression of the rebellion, aud the downfall of slavery would follow as. an Inevitable consequence; - Mr. WILLEY replied to some allusions of Mr. Sumner, in which his (Willey’s) opposition: to \the freedmen bill was attributed to his -characteristic course in this Senate as the ac voeate and supporter of slave-hunters. Ho'would inquire why the Senator did not pour out nis vials of.wrath upon tr-e Senator from lowa, Mr. Grimes; Mr. WILLEY, of West Virginia, defeuded.his course at some length from, the charge of being either a slave • hunter or theiradvocate,'and quoted from Mr. Lincoln’s words to show that their opinions were identical in re ference to the repeal of the fugitive-slave law v Until the State Governments were reorganized, it would be impossible to put tbe cumbrous machinery of this bill into operation. When this occurred, the State Govern meats would regulate tbe matter. A long colloquy ensued between Messrs. SUMNER and WILLEY as to what constituted slave'hunting, the. lattebsaying that if he would not be willing to carry out the provisions of the Constitution in reference to fagi . t {vC slaves be would consider himself a perjured man,. and worsb than elay.eholder that ever whip.' '"'•' - At So’clock tbe Senate adjourned. THE AXm-SLAYERY ASIENBAtpHT TOTHSCON3TI- The House resumed t)ie consideration of the constitu tional amendment abolishing slavery. ■ \ Sir. FARNSWORTH was surmised at the speech made hr his colleague (Mr. Soss) fast night. It was full of diPparatemeDt of the Administration. and wUstate ments in regard to the manner in which the war had been carried on, while there was nothing in it reprehen give of tbe rebels to boseen. He took issue rniiaLy with' Jetf Davis and his ciwio regard to thn right of seces sion. The - gentleman claimed that his party- were friends of the soldier. What was the coarse of the gen* tleman and Ms friends in regard to voting supplies? They invariably voted against granting either money '-or supplies fur tbe soldiers. When a bill was introduced the other day to punish guerillas, those-assassins who rob and murder soldiers and citizens, they opposed it. - When.tbe Constitution was framed; there were but about fifty thousand slaves in the land, and no one con templated tbe permanent continuance of the institution. The greatest care was taken that no. word should be in corporated in that instrument .which might recognize property in uian. . ; ' Our fathers expected the institution would soon be come extinct. He traced the. increase of the power of slavery and its enormous and increasing aggressions against tbe rights of free speech and a free press, and . the opposition to slavery was extended oy its aggres sions on these institutions. He cited statistics to show the relative progress in population and wealth of the free and slave States, showing the injurious effects of slavery upon the pro gress and welfare of the community in which it exists. He thanked God;that the manhood of negroes had been recognized by this nation. This they did?whon they placed the uniform of a soldier upon him; .' Mr, THAYER, of .Pennsylvania, replied to the asser tion ol the gentleman from New York (Mr. Wood), that slavery was the best possible condition of the negro, and denounced the assertion as barbarous, monstrous, and inhuman. . - Mr. WooD. I reaffirm H; - . •: ;.V "•Mr, THAYBR. The gentleman reaffirms U, He has a right to Ills sewtiaieuEs. ■ . He found no fault with him for expressing it. Let him and his friends go before the country, upon it if they dare. He did hot intend to ..attempt'a refutation of such an argument as that.. He contented himself with dev nouncing it ag barbarous and iulimrmn.Let him go to posterity with the record he made yesterday. ilr.-'F. "WOOD. That was what 1 made it for. It was for posterity, aod not for xnemboM'dT fnis House. Mr. THAYER then proceeded to: refute’tho argument ofhlr. KaJbiieisch, yesterday, that there was no right to amend tho .G mstftution in tlis manner. Thepriuei- . pie that we could amend the Constitution' only to re* strict, and hot to enlarge its powers, was subversive of every principle of liberty, and destructive of any chance for improvement in it. " Mr. MALLORY said the calm reason of the country would bear him out in the opinion that this was a most inopportune and unfit time to raaKe this amendment. Eleven States were not represented here, but they were still States in the Union, notwithstanding the assertion.; of many gentlemen on the other side that they were out of the Union and a foreign people. Ho replied to the ar gument that slavery was incompatible with the exist ence of the Union, citing Ktntucky and Missouri as evl-. deuce of the existence of slavery not incompatible with; fidelity and fealty to the Union. The party in power has cbAuged the war for the restoration and preserva tion of the Union toa war for the destruction of slavery; as they boldly avowed, as the on ly means of preserving the Union. The President had said to him and others of the Kentucky delegation to the last Congress/that the means which have been taken to bring back the Beople of the seceded States were based upon tlio be ef that there was a large number of people of those States in favor of the Union, and if It was established that those people were unani mous in favor of-separation,'the other States could ;■ not force them hack imo the Union.- He had not acted upon this. He had violated the Constitution, and juetifi* d it upon the ground of necessity i and gentleman said yes, it is necessary, and regarded tliat as sufficient reason for any outrage or violation. He denounced the employment of negro soldiers,'and endorsed the asser tion Of the gentleman from Kew York,-that slavery was the best possible condition for the negro race. He feared that the course pursued by the Administration had ren dered the restoration of the Union impossible. He still hoped ou, however, and; would prosecute'the war for that purpose, carrying offers of peace ana forgiveness whenever the rebels would lay down their arms and return to thoir allegiance. , • ' , • , Mr KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, advocated the adop tion of the amendment upon the ground .of humanity. It the State of.the gentleman from Ken tucky was ravaged and desoiated by war,it was because there was a Uod who avenged the wrongs or his child ren to the third and fourth generations.. Let this amend ment go to i he people, m-d let them act upon it. Mr. EDO ERTOK would rejoice to seeielavery cease, bat it should be done by Uie States themselves. Ho ar gued that we had no right to make this.change in the ; Constitution. The peril of such a policy was witnessed in the present unl'oruiimto condition of tiie country. Ho traced tho agitation of the atnvoi y oueHtion, winch had 1.-d to the triumph of the Republican party, and the' withdrawn! of the Southern States, they believing that their rights were no longer aecure in the Uuiott. ; ■ He opposed the adoption of the amendment for.seve ral reasons. ft. proposes areYohnloutu tiie tiovern ment and a complete reversal of, its policy towards the Stales. H proposes that throe-fourths, of the States shall dictate to the other., and control their demonic institutions. At present it was directed !to the dootrtlc. tion of slavery, unt it .might as well aifoct. any other domestic Jaw. It changed• the bastaiof representation; under the Constitution: He denounced the policy of the party in power as subversive: of the rights of propfit/y. The object of the party iu.pnwer 'wha to'oloyate tholuo gro to political rights and reduce the white people ojitha HOUSE. South to subjection and destitution. Slavery was a creature of the States, and not of the General Govern ment, * Mr. ARNOLD, of Illinois, briefly advocated the pas sage of the resolution, and said this Congress would be glorified forever if they perfected the passage of the measure. * Mr/JNGERSOLL. of Illinois, said the constituency wlioin be wub proud to represent were unalterably op posed to wrong and injustice, and in favor of justice and humanity everywhere. They have given largely of men ami meaus to crush out the rebellion, and * destroy slavery. Abolish slavery, and our old starry banner will be grander and brighter than over before, llopo will spring afresh in the hearts of tltA people in other lands when they see it, and they will yearn .to be where they can enjoy the blessings denied to thorn on their native shores. It would seem that thl« re-olution should be adopted by a unanimous vote, yet he feared we should lose H, The pock-mark of slavery was upon many members still upon the other side, and being slavou of the slave power we’cannnY expect much of them tMwe have made them free, and hewn away prejudices. They kuow that if slavery jiobr down the Democratic party goes down with it. There can be no objection upon lsgalgrounds to the aroendmentof the Constitution in ■ ;hematner presented by itself.; Are yon of the oppo sition afraid to trust the people on: this question? 1 bo lievD you, pe.

T< >und that if we take this action there can ® Bt of i th e,Preseut difllnulties, and it wIU ° tbe rebellion. w??h B * i t l l svt this subject t * sat be’believed in, the constant Political scleuce, avid was anxious to answer that he wag profoundly- con vinced that wise men would noi touch lightly the organized Jaw of a Government which has. by the sparing exercUo of very limited powers, main? iained civil order, and not restrained th*r unparal leled development of material prosperity amldafc the enjoyment of personal liberty to. a degree hitherto un known. For i-eventy-flve years this Constitution has existed, and for sixty provisions have been unchanged- Three times has it been amended, once when the first Congress proposed ameodments. Again in 1783, the power of the supreme tioart was limited' •and once again to change the mode of electing the President. Noiaeingle amendment has SUded to the powers granted to the United States, nor to those pro-' hibited to the States. These sixty years have been eventful ones it» our his tory., Three millions of, people, have become thirty millions,: Our. Western boundary. lost in the almost' unknown Valley-of the Mississippi, now dtps'into the Pacific Ocean.' Spain, ’France, and Mexico, on the south, have contributed to enlarge our domain. We baveliiwt ware updn .the'water and Upon tbe land We have repelled invasion, and have tasted the triumphs .of conquest.. We have had partisan strife and sectional strife. Tbe Constitution was sufficient for these things. 31mes have changed. A aewparty has come into power, and in the first term of its administration, iu the midst of < lashing arms, the exacerbations of a civil war cola-.- cldent with its advent to power, proposes to change the Constitution. ; .. Mr.: Pendleton proceeded to discuss the proposition, and quoted Mr. Seward’s speech of Jatmaiy; 1801, thaf passion mustcool beforemencduld beexpected wisely to jadge. Secondly; that, the amendment could not be carried on-without a fraudulent use of the power tb cre ate new States, or that of the military power on thb old ones. There arc States, and three-fourths are twenty-seven. There are nineteen free States; add Maryland, West Virginia,Missouri, abd Delaware, and. there are yet four needed. They must be made up from the States which have seceded or from the new States. Surely, gentlemen will not insist that States which you - , w ill not permit to be represented on this floor shall vote on ibis question. If new States are added,, they in* crease the nnmber required,and sixteen must be added. Third.- That this amendment: is not fairly within the pow*-r of-the States. It is a power, of amtndieent, not revolution. The prohibition to the States to regulate their purely internal affairs is a revolution of the whole system; but if there were no other objection, it is .enough that it is a step toward consolidation. The States have reserved all rights which' they have not granted. They have them by virtue of their inherent fcoveieignty. They are the true solution of the problem of liberty and social order, of personal freedom a.ud of a great empire. This is the barite of consolidation aud of confederation. Consolidation is a despotism, aud confederation it liberty. Argneltes Is spirited away without law by tlie power of a consolidated Govern ment When this power passed tbe resolution as to Mexico, the Presidout hastened to inform France that the power was concentrated in him. Have we not gone far enough? Is it not time to take our r reck oning to return to the true theory of the Government? ; Tle question was then taken on the Sehate joint re solution, which is as follows: - : Section 1. Neilherslaverynormvolnntaryservitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shah have been duly committed, ►hall exist within the United States or any pluce subject to their jurisdiction.

He said the assertion of the President that he was ar rested because'he labored with some. efleot to pre vent the: raising of troops, and oncouroged: deser tions from the army, or had disobeyed, or failed to counsel, obedience to lawful authority, was ab solutely false. Ho appealed for proof to every, speech he had made, and to the record of the military commission by the trial and sentence of which lie was banished. “The solo of fence,” he said, “which was laid to my charge was words of criticism of the. public policy of the Administration, addressed to an open political meeting of my fellow-citizens. For more, than one year no public man has been arrested; no.news paper has been suppressed within the Stato for the ex pression of public opinion, while hundreds in publio assemblies, and through thepress, with violence and threats, in which I have never indulged, have criti cised and condemned the acts and policy of the Ad ministration and denounced the war, maintaining, even the propriety of recognizing tho Southern Confederacy.

He denounced Order No, 38, under whtoh he was arrested, and said it was against the Constitution and the laws, and without validity.. All proceed ings under it wore null and void. “The ;tlme has arrived,”,ho continued, “when it becomes mo, as a citizen ofOhio and of the United States, to demand, and: by my own act, vindicate the rights, liberties, end privileges which I never forfeited, but of which for so many months I have been deprived.” He re iterated. his right to criticise tho acts of: the Admi nistration, and cautioned his political friends to abstain from any acts of violence on his account, although ho advised none to shrink from, any re ‘sponsitdiity, however urgent, if foreod upon.him.

The rebel cavalry are not in a condi tion to seriously impede, his successful progress, and he will probably reach the latter point with Jittle or no fighting on the way.

It is understood that he willpay a visit to Charlottes,, villo immediately, and accomplish all: the damage possible to the. railroads and depots in his pathway. He is accompanied by a large cavalry and artillery force, and. is fully able to cope with any body of tbe enemy with whom .he may fall in. It was suspected- at the time General Sheridan started .that he would pass around the south side of Rich mond and' sever the. railroad communications .leading out of that city, bat this portion of the campaign has probably been entrusted to Gen. Kautc, who has once before raided over that terri tory, and is therefore familiar with the country. Since General Sheridan(s destination has been dis . closed, tbe Importance of his movement Is made ap parent.

All concur that our men fought with desperation, the negro troops espe cially, hut they fell Into confusion, and their ammu nition becoming exhausted, caused a panic. It is .Teported that the rebel force which Sturgis encountered was en route to join Johnston’s army, when they received information of the fitting out of this expedition, and turned about to defeat it.

Owen Lovejoy, was duly received. As you anticipate, it will be out of my power to attend. Many of yon have known Mr. Lovejoy longer than I have, and are hotter able than I to do his memory justice. My personal acquaintance with him com menced only about ten years ago, since when it has been quite intimate $ and every step In it has been, one of increasing respect and esteem, ending with "his life. In no less than affection on my part. It can be truly said of him that while he was personally ambitious, he bravely endured the obscurity which the unpopularity of his principles imposed, and never accepted official honors, until those honors were readv to*'admit his principles with him. Throughout my heavy and perplexing responsibili ties here, to the day of his oeathfit would scarcely wrung aiiy other *to sav, he was my most generous friend. Let him have the marine rmmumenc, along with the well-assured and more enduring one in the hearts, of those who love liberty unselfishly for all men. . Yours truly, A. Lincoln. The Grand Regatta of the Philadelphia Yacht Club. Yesterday saw the first grand regatta on the Delaware river. , It was an event of decided im portance, for though .some of the finest yachts in America are owned in Philadelphia, our ship builders and sailors have never had the full credit they have so well deserved. We are glad to state that the regatta was a perfect success, and that the yachtsmen of Philadelphia can no longer be considered inferior to New York in enter prise and public spirit. The regatta was under the chaTgeof William H. Hyatt, Esq., commodore of the. squadron, and to his untiring efforts and expe rience much of its success is unquestionably duo. AH the sailing arrangements were complete, and not an accident or mistake interfered with the beau ty and fairness of the race. The Ariel, and two other, steamboats, accompanied the yachts down, the river. The entire proceeds were given to the Great Central Fair. Theynchts started from a line abreast of the Phi* ladelphia Yacht Club-house, nearly opposite Chest nut-street wharf, rounded the Marcus Hook buoy,, and thence returned to the point of starting, a distance of forty-six miles. The beauty of the day added much, to the pleasure of the race; it was only unfortunate that the wind was too light to display the finest sailing qualities of the first-class yachts. The following yachts were enteredfor the regatta: first class—the Glengary, William W. Abel,William A. Delaney; second class—the Ciffie, Stella (schr.), Lotus, Luifberry, Quickstepf Secret, and Lily j ..third Julia and Broomall. The Little Guynnt, the Nettle, and a vast number of other well-known yachts accompanied the regatta, bat were not formally entered. The third-class yachts started at 10.45, second class at 10.50, and the gun for the first elass to get under weigh wes fired at 10.55. Itwasa noble sight as the whole flotilla spread its canvas to the breeze, and, convoyed by the crowded steamers, with their band 3 of music playing, moved gracefully down the river. The Glengary was, from the first, the favorite, the light wind being in favor of the boats of lighter draught. Sailed by Capt. George Yanscivcr, of Burlington, she'made a brilliant start, and took the lead in the first mile, keeping it to Marcus Hook, and rounding tlie.buoy decidedly in advance. The following is the order and time in which the yachts passed the flag-boat anchored off Billingsport wharf, the first point of observation: Glengary, 1.06; Abel* I.IIKS Julia, 1.12 K; Glffie, I.ISj Broomall, 1.21; Stella, 1.22: Lotus, 1.25 ;}Luflberry, 1.27; Delaney 1.27; Quickstep, 1.37 ; Seeret, 1.47; Lily, 1.55#. At this time betting was 100 to 25 on the Glengary. After passing the Marcus Hook buoy, the odds were 109 to 75, the Abel having shown herself a formidable com petitor for the prize. The Glengary turned this - point at 3.31#, the Abel at 3.39, the Oiffie at 3.47, the Julia at 5.47#. One of the prettiest points in the race was the exquisite sailing of the Julia and • Ciffie, as they circled the buoy, so close together that for some minutes it was impossible to predict the winner. The Ciffie, however, whistled best for the wind,And the Julia clove the waves a few feet in her wake. The race was run by the Glengary, the Ciffie, and • Julia, taking the prizes for their respective classes. Thus ended, to the complete satisfaction of the - spectators, the first grand regatta on the Delaware. •„ Wo trust Commodore Hyatt, and the other gentle men who have taken so much trouble to establish our yachting interests on a prosperous and respecta ble basis, will feel encouraged to persevere by this decided success. All disorderly persons were ex cluded from the Ariel, the steamer chartered by the Club, and the regatta was conducted with perfect dignity and order. When the squadron sails again wc can wish it nothing betterthauagood stiff breeze. If the Club could command the weather it would have nothing to wish. SNCrNG JULY 1,1864. STEW r#JtK;CnT.
