SEWING MACHINES.
YEARS HAVE BEEN SPENT IN THEIR PERFECTION,
WE CLAIM FOR THE
“FL G EEN CE”
THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES OYER ANY AND
ALL OTHERS:
lt is the only Machine that makes more than one
kind of a stitch, and has the reversible feed with'a uni-
form tension.
It makes four-different stitches, the lock , knot,
double foeAyand double knot , on one and the same ma-
chine. Each stitch being alike on both sides of the fa
bric, and neither of them will ravel.
lt has the rebd’Si'&te feed motion, which enables
the operator, by simply turning a thumb screw, to have
the work run either to the right or left, to stay any part
of the same, or fasten the ends of the seams, without
turning the fabric, a great advantage over all others.
-6®* Changing the length of the stitch, and from one
kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while the
Machine is in motion.;
J9®* Every stitchis perfect initself, making the seam
secure and uniform. -
jeSf* It is almost noise less ii\ its operations.
Its motions are all positive; there are no springs
to get out of order, and its simplicity enables the most
inexperience!! to operate iL , • •
will not oil the dress ot the operator, as all the
machinery iAon the top of the table.
It is the most rapid sewer in the world, making
five stitches to every revolution.
. X&f Itsstitchisthewonderofail, because of its com
bined elasticitystrength, and beauty.
does Me heaviest-or finest work with equal
facility, without change of tension. '.. 1 ; '
. Every Machine has one of Jenck’s patent ham
mers attached, (the right io -use which we control,)
enahling the operator to turn any width of h em desired.
4JST* There is no other aiachine which will do so large
a range of work as the Florence.
A SB B *, It does hot require finer. thread on the tinder side
than it does' on the upper, and uses any kind of thread
43®*Ths needle Is more easily adjusted than in any
other Machine. - ; • .
It will sew across tbe heaviest seams without
change of tension or breaking of thread.
It is fully protected by nine patents, and licensed
by Elias Howe, Jr., and his associates.
4SF* To avoid. tbo strain on the eyes* bent postures*
close application, zniLfatistuinff care, heretofore ne
cessary on a large proportion l of work done on-other
Sewing Machines, we now furnish each Machine with
Self-Sewer) 3 * which'ffuicka the work
<f«e?Aand is.of great value, especially toinexpericnced
operators. .
'"■'SSp* WMle;pos6essing the above, and many other ad- -
vantages* the Florence is sold at eorrespoadingpriees

WASHISrGTOM RELICS.
lt would, really seem as. though the Fair .would
draw for months.' That in Now York was kept
open four weeks. The prosont oner has only boon
‘open fifteen days, nndihe season proper will .end.on
Saturday night at ton o’clbck. It Was evident from
ihe general appearance- of the' visitors yesterday
that many of them wero from the' country. Dela
ware and New Jersey sent forth their legions, and
tho scenes were novel to-, them; and' therefore- In
teresting;. ; The eommlttee of general arrangements
a day or two since, w;lsolyissuedtiokotsfor;the free
admission of tho convaleicont soldiers. Nino hun
dred tickets pin- day are distributed to soldlera
through the medium of'the Medical Department of
the soyeral hospitals; Yesterday an-unaSual num
ber of soldiers were in attendanc#and they took a
lcisure-stroll.througk every department. ■ ' Many of
thorn were the recipients ofhand bouquets from the
ladies in- attendance in--the Horticultural Depart
ment. A bettor behaved set of men never Mingled
in society. They came from nearly, all part 3 of-the
Union. . Many had their hands or arms iln 'slings,
because ofiWojsnds received in fighting for that glo
rious emblem of honor and power that adorns every
! part of the vast fair buildings. A soldier had'his
wounded hand slightly; injured;ini .-'trying'-togot
through a crowd.
“By jingo)” said he to a. companion, "after getting
through, “bang me if I; wouldn’t;rather storm;'a
rebel battery than to go into that; crowd again. 1 A
young lady hurt my hand, but she didn’t ; know it;”
AnieVlieal gentleman rendered what; assistance
was necessary. Tho soldier uttered no complaint,
but stood the, redressing of the wound with com
posure. . a- ■' ;V ■
TUB \VM. TF.NN I-AIiLOr.,
The Great Central Fair has furnished an oppor
tunity for obtaining mementos of the; early settle
ment of the State, which form a collection of these
valuable and rare curiosities, more numerous and
varied than any,other since the day in which our
first Governor bade farewell to his infant settle
ment."
: and associations, inspired by the Koli--
ness of the cause for wMch the labor was,, under
taken, have poured forth : the treasured relics of the
'fay's of tho Great Founder of our Commonwealth,
with, suck liberality that many of the visitors to trie
Wm. Penn Parlor are astonished and all are de
linked in examining here such an extensive exhibi
tion of antiquities, which are well authenticated as
having-belonged to Wm. Penn. ; ;
The probability that no other such collection can

KOUE ABOUT THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
As tho season of the Fair draws toward a close, all
departments are making vigorous efforts to come,
up to “schnltz,’land make tho total receiptsfrom the
tables foot up to something handsome.
Taking a leisure' gtroll through, ihe School De
partment, we were tibth pleased and astonished to
see the stands keep up such a healthy appearance,
and look every way.sb fresh and inviting.
•. Notwithstanding, the . enormous sales in the
School; Department, there are yet thousands of
dollars’ worthof handsome goods of every descrip
tion, including perfumery, dry and fancy goods,’
toys, books, wax fruit, and silver ware, still re
maining to be disposed of. *
The young ladies and gentlemen having charge of
the department have replaced, as far as possible,
all articles sold, and, by so doing, kept their tables,
from assuming that "gick s) and empty appbaraneo
which the tables in other departments arc beginning
'to do...v\;•
Nearly all the tables have boon supplied with,
fresh (lowers daily, whpsosweet perfume .and beau
tiful appearance, added to the faces of the ladies,
(who are always fresh, sweet, and blooming,)
have made tho department n second Horticultural
Hall, h ■ ■ : " ' ’
By a stroll through’ the, apartment; the visitor
will see that “ baby-houses” are not confined to
Union avonuo and the'children’s apartment. Oh the
corner table’of the main ayenuo and tlje School De
partment ttcro is placed one of the most handsome .
miniature houses in tho .Fair, which is to be dis
posed of by. “ohanocs” atlone 'dollar apiece, the,
inimberofekancesbeihglimited’toone thousand, tiro.
greater number of which are already disposed of. The.
house eontaiiisfeven; rooms, is under the charge of
that energetic and worthy lady, Mrs.Wiedcman; was
planned by: Mr. Robert Woodslde, and is gorgeous
ly famished with imported furniture. In tho par
lor ore congregated a. blooming: party of wax-dolls,
who nro mailing merry over a miniature copy of
“ Mother. .Goose,” and. drinking imaginary cham
pagne and eating oakb, while in the kitchen “Cult'
and Sambo ” aremaklng the : “.gpod. things' of life”:
in abundance!" On tho door-plate is inscribed
« Meade,” and the house is worthy the illustrious
' namo which it bears. lAhappylndlviduol will he or.
she bo whowinsthe “Meade baby-housel”
It will ho doubt bo found, at the end of the Fair,
that tho Fourth section wili have contributed pro
bably tho- most largely to.-tho receipts of. tile Com
mission. Tho refreshment table of this section,has
been pre-eminently successful; a fact attributable,
as much to the energy of the ladies as to any other
cause. • .
(toother tables in tho department wo noticed se
veral beautiful and valuable sots of silver, to bo dis
posed of by “chances.” The Misses Helon Fisher
and Emma Farran have, by rair looks and winning
ways, drawn many a dollar from “ye rough,set” to
swell the chance llst> and aid wounded.patrlots.
When young ladles surround you, look out for your
purse strings. •. . . . •
The handsome scrap-book which wo have before
mentioned, presented to the Boys’ High School ta
ble by Master Charles Mortimore, Is to bo given by
subscription to the' gallant old tors of tho Naval
Asylum. Tho subscriptions ate. only fifty cents!
Theobjeclis worthy and humano, and It is, asfiir
as wo know, the only .thing for- the veteran sailors
In tho fair. 1 The young gontlemen yet wish toi raise
about $OO, sixty haying already, booh subscribed..
Wo wish all tho friends of the sailor would visit
the ’High School table, and subscribe. They will
receive the thanks of the committee, tho! gratitude
of. tlio sailors, and a most courtoous bo.w;from''Mas

the book Js placed. .

must aoknowiodgo that theirs is the-table of the
department i their sales have boon largo anti their
prospeot for still furthor success is good, They
hove lowered thoir price of books, and now havo
thorn at prices to suit all. Added to this, ever slaee
tho Fair opened, the young gonts havo had regular
sets ol'night-watches, who have guarded not only
their own, but every table In tho Sohool Dopart
mept, apd Cpp go doing they are entitled to all
praise and the thanks of the Exccutivo Committee.
The yonng ladies of the “ Girls’ High and Normal
School” Have being doing a brlslc business. It Is au
old maxim, “That where energy backs beauty suc
cess is sureand it has been amply eXamplified in
this ease. One of tho ornaments of the stand is a
sty of “ piggies,” which shows tho young ladles are
all right on the porfc-auoBtlon. ; Said’sty Is' up for
“chances.” We might thus continue glvlng-a sepa
rnto account of the beauties of each table, bat'the
task would lie long and useless, for what is: said 1 of
one stand can be said of all. Each and all the
lady attendants have displayed tasto, energy; nhil
courtesy In their attentions at tho tables, and
havo fully shown that the schools of Philadelphia'
can and will do their part when called upon.
In concluding this hasty and' imperfect sketch,
we congratulate all concerned at the success of
their labors) Tho soldiers will pray for them; God
bless them, and their “bread oast upon the waters
will return after many days."; ' :
(iOI.II AND SinVEK STEAMBOAT.
Mr. .T. Dean Benton, Of New York, placed on ex
hibition yesterday a working model of the Sound
steamer Commonwealth, Captain J. IV. "Williams.
This model is made of 73 ounces of 18-karat' gold
and 242 ounces of coin sliver. Tho miniature boat
la constructed In ail its parts in accordance with the
' scale of three-thirtyseconds of ah inch to the foot,
and is valued at $6,500. The model js 2 feet 7 inches
in length, 8)j inches beam, 4}J inohes in depth from
tho top of the saloon to tho keel. The rfppor deck
is made of gold, valued at ; $BOO. Tho aonio,-of the
same material, cost $lB7. Tho cabins are fully
furnished in the same style ns the; large steamer.
The cabin floor has a rich carpet upori it, cushions,
chairs, and tables, the; latter containing gold pitch
ers and goblets. The machinery is propelled by a
‘musical box that plays five national tunes, thus,.
while the beam is working up and down, and the
sidewbeeli! revolving, the music on board wlUaptiy
remind the listening spectator of a steamboat ex
cursion, a species of pastime that was very popular ■
on tho Delaware river a fow years sines. The model
steamer 1 was. placed under the care of the proper
committee, who assigned it a conspicuous place for
exhibition. It is Wvery fine piece of workmanship.
BOOT AKI> SHOE DEPARTMENT.
Not'far from the centre of Union avenue and the
south sido-the visitor will find the Shoe Depart
ment, under the genera! supervision of Mrs. Eliza
beth Hartman and Mrs. Nixon, two ladies who have
given much time and attention to the cause.;- There
is a general variety of very fine .French boots, gai
-ters, ladies’ and children’s slippers, ladies’ riding
boots, which may be purchased at tho cheapest rates.
There are two pairs of cavalry boots for Major. Gen.
Me'ado and Major Gen. Hancock, which are open
for subscription. These boots and spurs, arc mado
'of the finest materials; the, workmanship is fault
less. Those of tho visitors in want of boots, shoes,
or gaiters, might;as well purchase them at tho Fair
as at any other place; as they can be had at reason
able prices.
6IGHOP. BLITZ.
Signor Blitz has been giving exhibitions daily at
the Fair to large audiences. Many people from tho
country havo paid their respects to him and onjoyed
rare amusements, suoh.as he knows well how to
provide. Tho; children wore never so well pleased
before, and what they have *een and heard will
form the subject of many a fireside story. The
Signor is a splendid tactician; he can tickle,the
fancy as well as the palates of his pleased auditors-
So far, he has met with gTcat success, and- thus, tho
general fund ol' the Sanitary Commission has been
increased for the benefitbfthe wounded soldiers. ;
INCOME, LABOR, AND BEVKXUE.
: Of all . the committees ab this Fair, we hear of
none„ who have more fully carried out the part
assigned them than the Committee on “Labor,
Income, and Revenue.” Their duties have been
peculiar as well as extremely arduous. From the
novelty of their undertaking, it was difficult at first
to make persons understand what was desired j but
when, by dint of hard work, itbecame to be under
stood, thousands not only availed themselves of%he
opportunity, but considered it privilege that they
could do something to alleviate-fcho-sufferings of the
soldier wounded in defence of his flag or stricken
down by disease.; :■
Mr.Claghorn deposited with‘the treasurer of the :
Sanitary Fund $15,000 ; this, with* tlie $145,000. pre
viously paid over, makes the handsome sum of
$160,000 already handed in by this committee. This
.we believe is double the amount any other commit
tee have “ acknowledged. 1 ’
To BIr; L. Montgomery Bond'-and his co-workers
belongs the “wreath of laurel,’’’for so thoroughly
and successfully carrying out the* objects of this
committee^;
HORSE EQUIPMENTS.
... The horse equipments at’ the : Fair are: much ad
mired. They were gotten up expressly for the oc
casion, and for beauty of and excellence of
workmanship far surpass,.anything heretofore ex
hibited..
They are valued at $l,OOO, andr to be-fully appre
ciated should be examined. -
This magnificent set of horse equipments will be
disposed of by voting—the general receiving the
largest number of vdtes'getfirig it;; Notwithstand

Vice streets, In the New J ersey Department. -
WASHINGTON RELICS.
In the Delaware Department there are-many very
purious and valuable relics from the- Patept Office
at Washington, to which we direct special attention:
Amopg those worthy of special notice are the suit of
clothes worn by the Immortal Washington, when he
resigned his commission, and hiswritingdress, walk-,
lng cane, swords presented to hlm, :&c. Besldes these
valuable, things, there are .many very interesting
curiosities.

The amount received for admission,,yesterday,
into the Fair considerably exceeded that of the day

THE WAR.
The Military' Situation Petersburg*—
The City is hot Besieg«l~Wliy we
railed to Take ( it-Ite. Military Ini*
porianee. . -
Mr. Swinton, the correspondent of the New York
Times before Petersburg, sends-the following to that
journal, under date of June 2h ‘ He^-ys:
THE SITUATION IN- GENE&AU ASPECTS.
- Regarded in its most general ralatlohs, the present
situation oi the armies; operating against Rich
mond presents an aspect identical with that which
has alreadythrice metus—inlront of SpottSylvania
Court House,before the Unesofthe South Anna, and
on the Ohickahominy. Tho stratogicproblem, exe
cuted with entire success, has- ;given way to a tacti
cal problem, which stubbornly bids defiance to our -,
efforts to solve. . In a stroke of.masterly general-:
ship this army was taken up.from the Ohicsahoml- 1
ny, conveyed over an interval of over-fifty miles,
transported i across twj> formidable rivers, and in
two days was planted before Petersburg—the key to
Richmond. But Petersburg, the richly-merited,
prize of the most boldly-conceived and the most'
brilliantly-executed military conception of the war,
by one of those vcsatlous accidents that'checker tho
history of military operations, failed to be won. In
vain a stroke of genius outwitted the astute gene- :
ralwho commands the foremost army of the rebel-/
lion, threw him from his central position to one ex
terior to us, delayed him two days, and brought
this army in front of Petersburg four-and-twenty
hours before a man of the enemy had crossed the
Jamesriver.
The defences of Petersburg fell a prize to the ra
pidity of this great movement. Its line of works,
■lormidahlo in eharacter and of old construction, was
carried, or rather surprised and taken by our ad
vanced column.. A few militia and old men and.
boys of the town, hastily gathered lip for the occa
sion, were all that met General Smith in a line of
works south of Petersburg, which, if properly gar.
risoned, could .havebade uefianceto the whole Army
of the Potomac, and must have reduced us to the
necessity of siege operations. A few: hours’ more
daylight, the arrival of a column of troops,. delayed
a few miles back, .would have . secured these con-'
quests to us as* permanent , possession. At'7.So
o’clock in the evening of Wednesday last, General
Smith, Miifh a,simple skirmish line,- took the whole
lino oifield-works covered by his front.. Hadsthe
prearranged plan been carried out, whereby another
corps was to have connected• and .ce-oporatcd with
■ him, the whole lise would have been token, and, tho
victory followed up, Petersburg would that. night
have been In our hands.
How thls dasign failed of realization Is worthy of
explanation. . '
HOW. WE FAILED TO TAKE PETEnSBUKd,
When* early on Wednesday morning, the 2d Corps
had effected the.passage, ol the James, river at
Windmill Point, Uenoral Hancock was met. by a
despatch Horn the Commanding General, directing
him that, If pr ovisions had arrived, ha should ration
. his men before proceeding toward Petersburg. Just
at tips, time he received. Information, seemingly
reliable, to the effect that the transports had arrived
with supplies. . ..This fact. General Hancock commu
nicated to tho .Commanding Goneral, sta ting that
lie would soon begin issuing rations, and would then
move forward; as directed., The information proved,
•to be a mistake—a lamentable mistake—the trans
uorts liar] not arrived. Yot this simple error caused'
a delay in the movement of .Hancock's" corps of Jive
hours and a half. His column joinod Goneral Smith’s,
troops at 1 o’clock on tlio morning of Thursday.
But had ho been up earlier by tho .dilforoneo noted
d five and a half hours, ho would liavb readied the ;
front at 7.80 oil the evening ,of Wednesday, mi lnch
was precisely the rttoment at which.: General Smith made .
Ins attack! ■ v~
Thursday morning revealed a now actor on the
stage—a new element introduced into the probiom.
While onr troops wore eomiag up during the night,
-Beauregard also came up, and the' reconnoissanco of
Thursday morning developed him in force in a lino
hastily thrown rip during the night, and a littio
closer to the; town,’but still strong enough to "check
our advance. The militia was reliovod—Beau re
gard’s forco, numbering thirty thousand.men, and,
reinforced by the addition of,.Bushrod Johnson’s
commanibtooktheir.plaoes—men of a very different
mettle thesefroin the Crude soldiers to whom ,the .de
fence of the works of Petersburg had been en
trusted ! •" ' '
It is true the assoalts of the ..two succeeding days
drovo the enemy fsom thqir temporary positiafi, hut
it was only to fall back on a lino hugging tho.town,
which Beauregasftwas.’preparlng In the meanwhile,
and which, constantly strengthened during thein
lorval that has since elapsed, stands botwoen.usjind
tlio desired point as formluablo.ah ob?taolo;as. wo
have yet encountered.
This lino was.nssaultod along Our entlrb.fropt on
Saturday last. •; The attack was similar ip character
to that made on the lines of the Ohlckahominy on
the 3d Inst..- It resulted, like that, in aoripus TossOf
life, and its Issue was of a similar, kipd—thaj is, we
failed to carry our point. " ••• h '
A lure untoward fortune attended the attaok of
Gen. Butler on that portion er'llip rebel Iposltion
lying north of tho Appomattox. Meeting, liko
Smith, with but feeble resistance from the local
troops in tho attack on. Thursday, he seized tho
Petersburg and Richmond. Railroad, and destroyed

’THE-MILITARY IMPORTANCE OF PETERSBURG. -
Fetorsburgikthe key to Richmond. The elaborate’
construction of its defences furnishes a standard of*'
tlic high value set upon it by the rebel military on-*
gineers. Viewed from a military point of view, it
forms a powerfully fortified (tie dcponi, covering the*
passage of the river and the main line of communi
cation from Richmond southward.
its relations with that capital are, in fact, almost
identical with those held by Baltimore toward
Washington ; and. wore the rebels in possession of
the former point they would not menace our capital
more than we would; Richmond, were we once in
possession .of Petersburg. In fact, not as much—
for even were Baltimore m the hands of the rebels,
Washington would, still 1 have its water communi
cations, while Richmond is isolated from it.
Tlio- rebel defensive line was drawn around the
city at a distance of about two ’miles from it, and
formed set of detached* redoubts* after what is
known as the “German system.” Of these works,
there: were seventeen,- mounting from six to eigh
teen guns each. They were beautiful in design and
powerful in construction, equal to the fortifications
around Washington, and connected by an infantry
parapet, the strongest I have yet seen in my expe
rience over all parts of tketkoatre of war.
That they were left as inadequately defended as
they were, therefore; can only bo accounted for on
the hypothesis—which, indeed; ianolohger a hypo
thesis, but an ascertained fact—that Gen. Grant’s
manoeuvres deceived Lee, whose army was still a
day’s march off when this line of defences fell into
our hands. The rapidity with, which Beauregard
was hurried forward to the dcfenccs'of Petersburg,
and the tenacity with which it has since been held;
are the best evidence of the kind’of resistance wo
should have met had not GeneratfGrant been be
forehand with Lee.

-BEMABKS Off HOW. WlnhlAM D. KKLLET, or-PESW
STLVAWIA, IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
JUNE 15,1584.
From this aamirahle speech we givo fhe following
interesting extracts: - .
. Mr. Kkllev. Mr. Speaker, madness and despair
rave, and I shall consume none of the- brief time
allotted me by following tho gentleman from Ken
tucky (Mr. Mallory), who has just taken his seat >
Nor do I avail myself of the floor in tho hope that ;
I can say anything which will change the mind of
the House on the question nowbefore it j-but, sir,
the privilege is not often given to men to perform
an act the influence of which will be felt benefi
cently by.the poor, the oppressed, the ignorant, and
. the degraded of all lands, and which will, endure
until terminated by the wreck of matter and the
crush of worlds. And X rise that I may thus pub
licly thank God, and the good people by whose suf
frages Tam here to*day, for the gofden opportunity,
afforded me of doing such an act.
When the proposed amendment to the Consfeitu- :
tlon shall have been adopted and approved' by the
Legislatures, as I hope it will he, that instrument
will be perfect as the genius of man can conceive.
Experience, as the ages roll away, may, it i 3 true, ;
suggest improvements, but my poor imagination
presents none. .Wo were asked this morning whether
we are wiser than the framers of our Government.
I utter no word, I think no thought of disparage
ment of those great men. They were good men,
and were wise In their day and generation 5 but all
wisdom did not die with them, and we are expiating
in blood, and agony, and death, and bereavement
one. of their errors—the unwise compromise they
made with wrong in providing for the tdTerationand
perpetuation of human slavery. The'Convention
' whfph framed tthe Constitution unwisely compro
-mised with wrong, and the bill before the House 7
proposes to submit their work to the people through
the States.for revisal in this particular. It was not
unknown to many of them that evil must rostiit
froni their action. They knew,and said, while in the
Convention, that right and wrong were in eternal
conflict, and that the avenging God was over on the
side of right. '
In proof of this I- turn not to the remarks of men
from New England, not to those from dear'old
Pennsylvania, but of those who.represented Vir
ginia in that august assemblage. I hold in my hand
the third Tolume of Eliot’s Debates of the Conven
tion which framed the Constitution of the United
States, and I quote from Mr. George Mason, of Vir
ginia, when speaking, June 15, 17S8, on. the first
clause of the ninth section of article one of the Con-
Stitution: 1 -
“Mr. Chairman,” said he, “this is a fatal section,.
Which has created more danger than any other.’ The
first clause allows the importation of slaves for twenty
years. Under the royal government this evil was looked'
upon ae a great attempts were*
made to prevent it; bat the interest of the African mer
chants . prevented its , prohibition: Ifo sooner did-tbe
Kevolmn-n take place than ifcw&e thought of. . It was
one of the great causes of our, separation from Great
Britain. Its exclusion has been apr ncipal object of
this btate, and most of .the States in the Onion. The
augmentation»f slaves weakens the States, and such a*
trade is diabolical in itself and disgraceful to mankind;
yet by this Constitution it is continued for twenty years.
As much as I value a union of ail the .States, I would 7
not ad mit the Southern States into the Union unless they
agree to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, be- ■
cause it.wdnld bring weakness and not strength to the
Union. .This detestable kind of commerce s’—- 5 ’—-
As he proceeded he spoke of “this detestable kind
of commerce,: 7 and said “I have ever looked upon
this as a most disgraceful thing to America. I can
not express my detestation of it,” . .
Mr. Tyler, of Virginia, In the discussion of the
same day,.as I find on the very next page, “ warm-:
ly enlarged on the impolicy, iniquity, and disgrace
fulness of this wicked traffic.' He thought the.-rea
sons urged by gentlemen in defence of it were in con
clusive and ill-founded. It was one cause of the
complaints against British tyranny that this trade,
was permitted. The Devolution had put a period;;
to it; but now it was to be revived. He thought
nothing could Justify it.” ; * .
Thus all the wise and good men of that perlodde
nounced the system of unpaid labor and property
in human beings as wicked, infamously wicked, and
;the trade In men, women, and children, as diaboli

is over in season, and: it is never inopportune to
do right. But he also says that, the rebellious
States are in the Union, and yet we do not propose
to allow them to vote on this measure. The
people of those States arc probably not .aware- of
the fact that they are in the Union. They, believe 7
themselres to; bo" out of the Union, and- if they

The Hmeral: of Heyerbeerl
The last funeral ceremonies over tho remains of
M cyerbeer took place in the latter part of May from
Berlin. A funeral chorus by Meyerbeer commenced
the exercises. Dr. Joel, the Rabbiof Breslau, then
delivered the following.very Impressive remarks:
“Before the coffin of a man whose reputation fills
the two hemispheres, who, raised himself to the
greatest height of perfection, and whose works have
een consecrated in every, possible manner, com
plaint is now allowable. According: to an bid adage,
:•* there are some men who? have had only-.one hour
in the course of their lives given them in which they
have raised themselves above- their fellow-men ;*
hut the life of Meyerbeer was entirely composed of
such hours; each of them was a success. The whole
world was a witness of this, because the language
that Meyerbeer spoke needed no interpreter; be
cause for that language nations had no frontiers:
it subjugated the hearts of heard it, and
caused emotion to. penetrate into their innermost
recesses; His harp, like that of'David, sent forth,
the most gentle strains, or excited the most violent
passions. Meyerbeer could exclaim with the Pro
£het, whose age ho had ‘ The spirit of ther
.ord spoke by me, and His word was In my tongue.*
It Is useless to remind you of the. events of his ilfej
what he wished and something that eve
ry noble and ieeliDg heart has already understood,
and will understand, to the very end of time. Con
genial for every one, and; honored with the favor of
his king, he was joyfully grected.by all, from the
throne to the eottage: It is not Meyerbeer, there
fore, whom wo should pity,- but ourselves, who 'have
lost him. When will there again arise a disciple
of German art to whom, the nations Of the earth
will spontaneously pay such a tribute ofaSimratiort?
When will there again issue from the midst of .the
Israelitlshcommunifcy a inanof genius to prove that
the Mosaic religion does not prevent those who pro
fess it from participating, in all-that is beautiful, in
all that is noble and sublime, in a word, in all that
exalts the heart of man l * ; ‘
. “Sprung from a family which had ; brought tip
more than one son to the honor, of his native land,
and of humanity, and which, at all times,-was dis
tinguished for the loftiness .of its tendencies and.
ideas pgifted with a genius wMCh was revealed in.
his earliest youth, Meyerbeer icentred in his own.
person a most fortunate combination of circum
stances, enabling him to shine like a luminous
• meteor in the heaven of German art. His illustri
ous memory and his imperishable works will con
stitute our best* or only consolation at havinglosfc
him; and this, consolation will exert its vivifying
influence upon his relations \ 11st as upon the future,
as long as men shall continue to- worship the Beau
tiful and the Ideal! 31
Capelmeister, Taubert, Dnrlnger, Dorn,Kadecke,
Eics, and many more, were in the fanerai Cortege*.,

Prussian armies, and the corps and. division band

the musicians crape-covered 'instruments. The

To the Editor of The Press:
Sir ; Some;, of your correspondents are trying very
hard to get up "an excitement against Our city pas
senger railway companies because they have
the fare to six cents. They may as well save them
selves that trouble. If they don’t want to ride, they
can walk. We have now a monopoly of ttiejhmsi
ness. The law gave it to us, and we .claim
law don’t limit us.ia our rates of fare, and public
clamor can’t.do it. We were called upon to give
one day’s receipts for the benefit of the soldiers, and
we did it; It was a great loss to us; and now, when
we.are trying to make up that loss by charging only
one cent extra for a ride, we are abused for it. It
only shows how mean and ungrateful the community
are. > V 7 .;-'.
The board of presidents understand their business.
I am not authorized to speak for ; them, but I pre
sume they .will , take care of their stockholders nnrr
of their, own interests in spite of the City Councils
or any other .grumblers. That is what -everybody
else does, and why shouldn’t theyido it f Show us
theslaw against. it.- You can’t do It l ’ \ '
As for driving fast on Walnut street and slow oat
Eighth Street, what do you propose to do about it X
There is no law against it, and we intend to do just
as we please. . If you don’t like It, you can walk ;
andif you don’t,want your children run over, keep
them out of the way. That Is your affair, not ours.
. People talk about crowding the cars with
gers.. Whose.fault, is; that 1 If people choo'se ta
crowd; Into a car when it is full, they have no right
to complain of it. If those who have seats and have.
paid their fare don’t like itj they can get out and
walk. There are others to take their places, and the"
companies make money by it. There is no law
against that. , ;. _ ..

grumblers, and that they will be content to obey ttie ,

of till proportion to the general advance la other

one class of persons who receive letters through the
post office., Persons Hying In'remote the
