It is really surprising that this esti lrmble gentleman cannot bo appreciated that he can neither succeed in the coal, the brewery, or the banking business. His misfortunes compel a kind of sympathy, for if there is anything sad to sec it is this spectacle of a man going through the voricL perpetually waiting for “ sonielhingto turn tip.” ..Mr. Micawberis now in a peculiar, trouble. Bp is really A Fallen Tower. -Ho cannot'find a candidate—lie cannot borrow a platform—bo cannot even get a Conven tion. What is to be done ? He purposed going to Chicago, and Air. Vallandic.iiam, Ids next best friend, undertook the perils - of a iouniey from Canada to Ohio, entering Hamilton in a dramatic way, in the hope, of giving life.and fire to the Chicago Con-: veution. Even that lias failed. Vai.la.n uiGitAit finds.himself in a state of sin and misery in-Dayton—despised by one party, distrusted liy his own friends, and very sad • indeed'because no one will put him under arrest. If he had only been ar rested there might have ’ been a riot, a great trouble, much excitement, and an opportunity at Chicago for Mr. Mi cawber. Then there were hopes, of Mr. ■McCi.eli.ax. This Micawber of warriors was just the man for the Micawber Demo cracy. He managed war very much as his ; “ great original managed Ills finances, add; - with much the same result. Ho got into .'.difficulties on the Peninsula, and . had to come ]Km>o. Why should he not be made a candidate for the Presidency ? Ho was popular throughout the South. He was respected hv the rebels. Ho had never Saida word to injure the feelings of the most sensitive Southern gentleman. Tie Bad managed a large army so that as little injury as possible would be done to the re bellion. He was precisely the man for Chicago. A ■ Micawber party could do no better than nominate a Micawber captain • and so men believed. Mr. Micawber does not think so. He wants to wait a little longer. This;’ man Grant has ruined whatever reputation as a military man McClellan may have ever gained. Mr. Micawber is, therefore, in difficulties again, lie concludes not to go to Chicago, but to wait two months longer and see if some thing will not possibly turnup. .. 1 The issue therefore stands Fremont and Cochrane on the one hand, Lincoln and Johnson on the other. A.s Fremont and 'Cochrane represent nothing hut a . small, miserable faction, ive may virtually 1 say that Lincoln and Jonssojr are alone in the: field. They have no rivals. Their •enemies : virtually surrender the fight. : . These! enemies say that they have examined *the record of Lincoln and Johnson— 4ho administration of the army and navy, the. "career of the former as President, and of ■the latter as Governor and Senator, the platform upon ivhieh they stand, and the principles they represent—and they find it impossible to name a candidate to oppose .them, or to construct a. platform in opposi tion that can in any way command the - confidence of the people. In other words, •this great Copperhead combination hews. . down-before the will of the people. Filled with enmity and hatred, desiring above' all tilings the overthrow of the coun try and the Administration, it is afraid ‘ to take the field on ground of its own choosing, to accept the challenge we have given.' It is afraid to say now what principles it believes or what man it deems proper to represent those principles. \Ye find the Convention in Illinois refusing to . *adopt 'any resolutions but: one endorsing ' Tallaniucham. It prefers to wait until tlie Chicago Convention meets and deter . mines a policy. In other words, the De mocracy in Illinois, and, indeed, in most parts of the country, do nofknow wliat to be lieve until they are instructed by Mr. Val landigham and a company of; gentlemen at Chicago. They have a word of sympa thy for a banished traitor, but they hare no word of sympathy for our cause; no .voice, sentiment, or opinion on any issue involved in our war for a harassed and . Buffering country. A great contest has been raging for years; thousands of men have been slain; deeds: that history will, dwell upon for ages to come are being per formed, and yet this. Democratic party has no word to say of approval or disapproval. It is silent, and -not only so, hut silent under the suspicion Of cowardice. Why does if not speak?.. It can®ot be out of sympathy for the war, or from a desire to- do nothing that may em barrass the prosecution of •the war, for these men have no sympathy for our cause, or our country. They are. time-servers, . trimmers, camp-followers, men who hang • around the baggage-trains until the battle .is. over, 1 and join the victorious party to • plunder the dead. .Whether Cassio kill • Eoderigo, or Roderigo kill Cassio, or each do kill the other,, every way works to their : gain. : They are perfectly content to nomi nate . Grant, if he takes Richmond, or to .take as rank a snbmissionist as Seymour . of Connecticut, or Wood of New York,. if Richmond should not be taken.' With •these it is: neither peace nor war, hut a .political victory. As we have said, so ..that they can plunder the dead it matters little who wins the day. Is it not humiliating to see a great party so reduced and abandoned that we can find no term but a fantastic creation of fiction whereby to describe it ? Where is the De mocratic party of other days,-proud'-and defiant in the consciousness of principle; first in the fray, with its banner aloft like the banner of tbe Percy, and its motto “ Esperanee ’’ always in tbe front ? How have the mighty fallen ! Like the banner of-the Percy, the standard of the Demo cracy has ,3opg since been shattered and, . tom, and trailed in the dust. The carrion crows have 1 made -it their rookery,: and 'where bravo and good men were once ' proud to. follow, adventurers and banditti now presume to lead. Our Foreign finlistmcnts. It is an unusual political combination of events wlien Bari Russell assails anil tiic Times defends “ the .American authorities at Washington.” 'Piiere was a debate, in the House of Lords, on the Oth inst., on a motion‘made by the Marquis of Cj.anric kakde, (about the most discreditable mem ber of the' British peerage,) touching American recruiting in Ireland and other places. lie alleged that this “ was sys-: tematically done, that it should be remon strated against, and that non-attention to such- remonstrances would bo a cause of war.” He was followed by Lord Bitouon am, who complained that “the Federals, were inveigling poor Irishmen . into-, a: breach of the law.", Earl Bussell, in stead of manfully- saying" that. C.lanric icabde and BltOtJGHAsr, begging the ques tion, had stated the thing-that was not—/or even a solitary charge of Federal enlistment: in Ireland or any other part of the British empire: lids not been, proven —shuffled and declared that and Lord Lyons had sharply remonstrated with the American authorities at "Washington, aud-that “it Was highly discreditable ‘to those authori ties’ that they had not fully investigated the representations made by Lord Lyons." Itemonstrance I and from England ? Remonstrance about what ? If there had been one proven case of American enlist ment on British soil, there need be no re monstrance, for Earl Russell had the power, and it was his duty to act up to that power, to bring the culprits into a Court of Justice, and try them for violation of the law. Remonstrance, indeed ! Why, it is we who have had-cause to remonstrate, and have vainly remonstrated, with the British Go vernment against the latitude allowed ship builders, pirate-owners, and blockade-run ners, in. tbe construction and equipment of the Alabama and such vessels, cliiofly manned by British subjects, to bo employed against the properly of American mer chants and to run articles “ contraband of war” into rebel ports blockaded by the TJ. S. Government. What was the result of our remonstrance ? * The seizure and trial of the Alexandra—we might call it the mock trial—when it appeared that the Foreign Enlistment Act was not adequate for the purpose it was made to carry out, and the British Government has not taken a single stop to mend matters by passing a new law' that is. The Times declares Lord Claniuckarue’s accusation and Lord Bussell’s feeble ad missions to believes that the Fedcrals have obtained very few fight ing men from the British islands ; that if they had:, obtained double the number, England, under the circumstances, couitl not reasonably make it a cause of war (Lord Bussei.l had hinted the Washing ton inattention to bis remonstrance might lead to war!); that only such proceedings as were illegal could be stopped—thatris, enlistment, and not emigration; and that if emigrants enlist, after arriving in this country, that is an event beyond British control. These arc the: plainest and.most obvious truisms,-but no “noble lord ’’ had (he sagacity ,or the bold honesty 4,0 use them ip. reply: to Lords Clanrickaiike, Brougham, and Russell. British statesmen would wisely say as little as possible on the subject of foreign enlistments. ’ln 1855, Sir John C Hamp ton being British Minister at Washington, various attempts were made under the spe cial patronage of himself and other British officials to enlist men in this country to re cruit the. Hritish army, then much weakened by its heavy losses in the Crimea, and this breach of the neutrality laws being brought ■homo to them, each and all, they were sent back to England. We have ; a law which is 1 active, when applied to, and we used it promptly. Let England amend her law, which is passive, and meet us on equal terms. .. Mexico. A Mexican correspondent, residing in the State of Chihuahua, who cultivates his mind by reading The Press, and occasion ally .occupies his leisure by writing long, spirted, and very positive letters, assuring us that we “ labor under a mental halluei-- nation in regard to Mexican affairs,” in forms ns, with his usual, earnestness, that the reign of Maximilian has every prospect of being popular, prosperous,'and enduring. Our friend (he will allow us so to consider him, though all wo have, ever seen of him is in handwriting), is ah Irish gentleman, educated and intelligent, who has been nearly : twenty years in business in the northwest of Mexico, and has had ample opportunity for observation. He writes thus: “ You may regard it as a 1 fixed fact,*»tliat the Empire ol ilaximilian -will bo firmly established -n itlj the'approbation and free consent of an over- Tshelming majority of the Mexican people, in fluenced by French bayonets, in spite of. lamenta tions here or elsewhere, or the protest of the Ame rican Congress or Government against it. Even Santos Delgado, the Senator from the Stato of Gimnniuato, and tho man of most brains In tho party of n hlch the fugitive Benito Juarez was tho ostensi ble head, has recently given indications that ‘all Is lostand Lerdo of the State of Jalisco, the Financial Minister of the Juarez Government, admits that it is impossible to resurrect or recou struct tho Republic. ' For forty years it has had a fair trial amt failed to secure the happiness and well-being- pf the Mexican people. It was a burlesque upon common sense. Gen. Don Angel Trias, of this State (Chihuahua), and who commanded the na . tioD.ai forces of Mexico against the invading French army at Puebla, a year or so ago, is now satisfacto rily convinced that thevoicb of the Mexican nation is in favor of Maximilian, and that whenever ho ’ arrives at the City of Mexico tho nation will greet him as the saviour of. the country from anarchy and revolution. Nothing is more certain.” This is .very positive, and there may be a great Ileal of truth in, it,, At all events, it presents-a view different from that taken: by ourselves, and American journalists- in general. ; , ~ : The best, because the fullest and most dispassionate account of- the circumstances which have placed Maximilian, a pauper Austrian prince, an imperial “gentleman in difficulties,” on the throne of Monte zuma, the last of the Aztec rulers, is to be found in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine far June. The writer describes the French invasion of Mexico as “an intervention undertaken foifreonquest, and carried out by .treachery,” yThat never: cduld .have Been done had the United States been in a. condition to give assistance to Mexico, as an ally 1 and neighbor. France, which had smaller pecuniary claims upon Mexico than England, sought to establish a casvs. belli by becoming the champion of that auda cious chicanery, the-decker loan. The his tory of this attempt to rob a nation is thus related, by the Magazine-writer:: “A short time before Miramon was overthrown by Juarez, his Government'being in want of money, as it always was, and not very, particular as to the way of procuring it, borrowed of the Swiss house of Jeckcr & Oo M in Mexico, the sum of *760,000, and gave them bonds to the amount of $15,000,000. Wc do not know what the idea of the Mlrauion Govern ment was which led it to borrow $750,000 and pro mise to pay $16,000,000, unless they knew that they would have no money to pay with,or foresaw that their day was near its end, and somebody else would have to foot the bill. At any rate, Miramon was soon overthrown, and Juarez came into power. Shortly after this revolution, M. Jecker, who was under French protection, called upon the President, and, suggesting the propriety ol' having their little account settled, begged j uarez to accommodate him with the trifle (fifteen millions of dollars) which he claimed was owed him by the. Mexican Government} but Juarez, unable to discern the propriety of ac ceding to this very modest request, refused to accom modate the banker. If, however, Sir Charles Wyke, the English minister to Mexico,, wasr rightly in formed, Juarez recognized the principle that he had succeeded to the debts as well as to the benefits of rule. He granted that foreign Powers knew nothing of the different parties, but only of the Mexican Government, and* consequently,'while he repudia ted the idea that he was liable for the. $15,000,000, he was nevertheless willing to pay thes7so,ooo, with 5 cent, interest.' Nothing short of the full amount, however, would satisfy M. Jeeker, who went away in a buff, and vowed vengeance. Such is-tke famous, or, more properly speaking, infamous Jeeker.loan.” To obtain payment in full} with the in terest alleged to have accrued, of $15,000,- 000, claimed as the equivalent of a loan of only. $750,000, was one of the pretended grounds on which France carried war into Mexico, changed its form of government, and imposed upon it a ruler of foreign no mination,. Our Chihuahua correspondent touches upon “the Monroe doctrine,” -which, lie. says, can have no recognition in Mexico, as Francis Joseph of Austria will cer tainly support his brother Maximilian. We rather doubt his doing this. ' The pride of the House of Hapsburg sus tained the heavy blow of an insult 1 so subtle that it was impossible to resent it. Napoleon I. had smitten down that pride when ho obtained the hand of an Austrian Areh-Duchess, wooing her “as ; the lion woos his bride,” but 'Napoleon 111. smote still harder when, after wrest ing Lombardy from the Austrian Emperor, he offered to place ,the Emperor’s brother, on a foreign throne. It is notorious that while, on , onfe hand, the heavy debts, of. Maximilian made it desirable that lie should quit Europe—-where a pauper prince is of small account—his family, on the' other," were averse to his receiving the 1 sceptre from Napoleon, and the stern dictum of Francis Joseph was that, if his brother went to rule in Mexico, lie thereby must relinquish all claim., of Kindred upon Austria. 'We have seen it stated, in a let ter from Paris, that the Emperor Francis Joseph said, “ When a brother of mine becomes a prefect of France, he ceases to be a prince oftlie House of Hapsbiirg.” Wb birect attention to an extract from the speech of the lion.

It will lie read with great pleasure,and condenses the whole argument in favor of this amendment so as to make it plain to every mind. It is intimated that a movement is on foot to defeat the renomination of this able and eloquent Representative. - When we recol lect that Judge Kelley is one of the ablest men in tliis country, and has rendered sig nal service to the "Union party, not only on the floor of the House, but in liis numerous addresses before the . people, and. that we have very few men of his Vigor, industry, and intellect in the State, it is mortifying that any one claiming to be a member of the Union party should make any effort to defeat the return of this popular Represen tative to the next Congress Wo may add that we believe if President Lincoln has any personal preference in reference to the Representative from the Fourth district, Judge Kelley is undoubtedly that- prefer ence.- .- . - THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.

During the night Colonel TidhaU, chief of the 2d Corps Artillery, having previously examined the ground in front, posted several batteries at favora ble points, some even in advance of the infantry skirmish line. The object of the shelling was not to destroy the city, hut to show tho we understood were massed )n tho streets of Peters burg, that we could reach fcnem with our guns. The • enemy' did not open on us with their batteries oppo site our front, perhaps partly, if not wholly, for the reason thatour sharpshooters are so advantageously located as to make it very inconvenient for the rebel artillerists to work their pieces. A few shots were fired at us from the rebel batteries on the heights beyond; the Appomattox, and the cannonading ceased altogether. WASHINGTON. PASSAGE OF THE $400,000,000 LOAN BILL BY THE HORSE.

Mr. Bu-vlaargnod that tho fugitive bill was entirely within °Ji l * ! , n Constitution, and quoted 1 lately to that' the framers of the Constitution Intended Ibat fußitiyo slaves should be rendered up. Otherwise, neeaUlf Virginia and-other slave States would never , u tip tholr imperial roign over tho territory, which, since that time, bus spread so widely. Tho men of that day, who had marched through the storms of Revolution, accepted this gr&ot In good faith, and not a inan of fhein to-day. If they could return to the earth, would have a soul which would not revolt at tho out breach of good faith about to be perpetrated. 11113 measure was only another among tlieHccumu l» tiug evidences of thn degeneracy of the present evil times, ami that any man understanding the history of this provision for tho return of slave property and hav ing sworn to support tholConstitution, could recklessly urge tho repeal of these constitutional guarantees, was One of those instances of moral profligacy and delin quency which could not bo fathomed by the most de generate of man. While thobenntar.from Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner, cries aloud against tho injuries done to the pour op* pressed African, ho could show, as ho hud heretofore shown, that Now England had adhered to slave labor as long as she could make proiltof it, and until she found that her climate was. too rigid for It to be made profitable i then ahe resolved on white labor as more profitable.

Such a thing as military mtcferenco in elections had not been heard oiin England since the time of Henry Yfll. Such a doctrihw as thi*, if maintained, would subject us to tho scorn of the statesmen o,t ev*ry enlightened European nation. In the name of God, ami the spirit* of our fathers who gave usHhese institutions, heproiested against tins doctrine; Enunciate this policy and say who shall vote, and we should next be told for whom we should'vote. There Was but one step between the two: A Presidential election is close at hand, and, if bo voted, he expected to exercise bis own judgment. But some man, with tho stars upon him and clothed , with a little brief au thority under the Senator’s doctricfe, wauU some other than my choice elected, and, although he does not com pel mo to vote for his candidate, he says you can’t vote at.*all, because you are a disloyal man. Are not such doctrines abhorrent to every idea which American citizens have heretofore entertained of Ameri can freedom ? The bill as it Blood wentfurther than ho thought it should. . Bathe implored the Senate not to go a step further, it at we might thus be savedf rota the rule of military dnspoti&m: Mr. HOWARD replied, saying that the Senator had: taken ihe extraordinary ground that the Government in uiidertakingto decide who wore its enemies subjected H>cdf to the t corn and contempt of the States of the Old .World, and especially that beautiful Government of Great Britain which belauds bo much. He contended that it was clearly tbo province of the Government to deter mine who were its enemies. This was hot the province of a.State. • r " ■Withoutconcluding Mr.* Howard gave way, vand the Senate, at half-past lour, took a recess until seven P, it. Mr. GRIMES called up the House hill incorporating the Young Men's Christian. Association of Washing ton. which was pas*ed. ■ Al*o, ths House bill incorporating the Colored Catho lic Male Benevolent Society of Washington, which was ■passed. •' The hill of Mr. Morgan, repealing the $3OO commuta tion clause, was then up taken by a vote of 16 to 10. Mr. WILSON moved an amendment, which he briefly advocated; providing that the draft should be for one year only. . This was rejected byia vote of 12 to 16. Mr.-CHANDLER moved an amendment, providing ihstt the draft should be for not less than one year, nor more than three years.; -, - Mr. WAPBwasnot wittingtogivediscretlon tothemil itaiy authority: He believed that if you drafted for one year it would be more: easy to get soldiers, and he should, therefore, favor the proposition to drafemen for a short period. 1 \ Mr. JOHNSON saidvthat the propositions now before tbefcenaie were, first, tfcft the Secretary should be al lowed to call for men for a period not exceeding one year: and second, for any period not exceeding three years The amendmentoi MfeCfaahdier was rejected—ayes 16; nays 22. ‘ - T Mr. MORGAN amendment'to th£ enrol ment bxll, rroviding-rijaJ future calls maybe for a term not exceeding one *' ; - Mr. WADE favored the idea of-calling out these-’nleu.; for a ljmitod?period,^i.-.arder::to reinforce our veterans' in the field. Ho lelated'inst&nces to show that green soldiers fought as well alpngside of veterans as the vete rans themselves. ' Mr. AYILSON said: the Secretary of War desired that we should repeal. the commutation clausa. The rebels had destroyed everything they had, And he wanted to fill our aijnies with good and fine men, and at the same time save manufactures and commerce. On filling our aimies wo must exercise bur reason and not impose on any interest of He-said to-night what everything taughthim. that our laws should bear as lightly as possible mpon bur people. He believed that in ninety davs wo can put five men into the field where we can put one! inVfor three years. -So believing, beadvocateda draftfor.one year, and not for the pur pose, as has been intimated, to save his section of the country from the burdens of the draft. : He hoped that after the vote in the Senate, and tho manifestation in the other end of the Capitol, we would not do vhat the country would consider a hard thing. Mi. SPRAGUE argued thai we should be governed somewhat by the policyof the Secretary of War, who believed be bad authority to draft for one year, but the real difficulty was that men could not be procured while the commutation, clause stood in the way. It seemedßo him the views of the President and the Secre tary vernruent hs.ve been cheated. It oc curred in many instancts .chat tw«itty-four hours after they have procured substitutes they have not outy lost the drafted man and his substitute, but the money also. The draft should be strictly aud fafrly enforced, a thing the gentlemen at the other end of the aveuae have never yet done, and it should he done without delay, without excuse, aud irrespective of threats or mobs. -Tho Government wants men and not the money. Mr HOWi said money will not answer for one man, unless it answered for every man. All know that.with money alono the war cauaot be carried on. The com mutation clause had stood in the way of our success from'the beginning of the war untilnow. Be would not vote to exempt any man for money. A drafted man could engage a substitute just as well as the Secretary ot War could for him. We are in* the fourth year of the war, contending day after day as to whether wo would or would not, with sad experience before Uc, allow a iuau with more money thau courage to commute for military service. We ought to clothe the Government with such authority as to call every able-bodied iimn to the achievement of victory at the tap of the drum. i Mr. DAVIS, of Kentucky, believed a war could not be long continued agaibstihe feelings and judgment of • the people and the willof the masses, and when they see a vast expenditure of treasure aud blood, they shrink batk appalled. fronf the contemplation'of a con tinuous prosecution of-diostilkies. A change Jiad come over the spirit < f the'majority of loyal people of the United ShUesi.and . they desired to .bring the war to a close. They had seen the powers of the Government grossly perverted, threatening thoir liberties.: This was the deep- conviction of the people, aud it was not strange it should be so. : At; the commenceiuent of the war he ; was a coercion ist, but ho was not one now. There were two ther mometers, one in Congress,and the execaiive.dopart meut and the other in the'people. A million of men have perished in this war or eutly disabled. 'J he public debt is $2,500,000,000, and if the war be con tinued another year SSOO,UWJ.UCO at least wiU be added, with all the perversion of the objects of the war, and wlih all the perils that it.Tias brought upon the Consti tution &od popular '■ E ; ; He was much pained at' the' Breech of -the ‘ Senator ? from Kentucky, and to see him toturing, breaking down, an/l giving upihe hope of-.ihe coutest, and ex pressing his make peace with rebels, r was the Senator witling to get upon his knees to Jeffi Davis, and accept from him any terms of settlement of; this controversy, in order to prevent the further shed- i ding of blood? The rebels have not the slightest dispo- : sitioh to take any terms, short of the acknowledgment of their independence. WSs the Senator willing to ac- - knowledge a military, despotism, and perpetual war-?; Was he prepared for a divided empire, and a divided, power? was lie disposed to break down the whole sya-; tern of States, and destroy at once the l proud American .namo.andjiunibloit tp British manufacturing intoreits? in the name of-God, was there an American citizen who* was willing for a temporary and delusive peace to buc-: cujub to the accursed rebels? With courage and endu-, ranee we shall forever subdue the traitors. He rhongbt - the Senator -was acting under an UJubloq as to his icon-, stUncntK.

Had not the presout Executive given his detlbe-’ rate and well-considered sanction to that revolutionary, movement of the South. He rofbrred to Senator -Wade as having aK strong a mind and as pure a heart as any man belonging to this body, aud quoted from 1 remarks of the Senator to show the latter had said a people had • the right to change their existing , form of government, ~ and that the attempt to forcibly hold them in the Union would lie subversive; of the principles of the Govern-; : meat under which Wo llve, , - ; Mr, DAY i 8 did not go ar far as* the President. Ho maintained the right of revolution only when wrongs cannot be redressed; by peaceful remedies. He would ; never yield either to the despotismof Jeff Davis or that of Abraham Lincoln, Tlie fervent wish of his heart was to overthrow both. ■ Mr. HICHARDSON, of Illinois, said, in reply to some remarks from the Senator from-Michigan, that the’ Senator was in part responsible for plating theAhro* hundred dollar clause in. the enrolment act, If,(%Vtbe Senator remaiked, tho act madenhe poor fight the bat tles of th§ country while tho’ricb conldbn exempted,, the Senator and his associates are responsible. He was not disposed at the command of the President to change the policy allowing no man to escape the draft. He was for. enforcing the laws on the Executive, and all other high officials. When those .who oppose .tho Administration were told, they ought notate.dis cuss the subjects brought: before them, but remain silent, he would remark that tho President himself had set them the example of discussion on; mea sures connected with the war in 1848.

All outstanding Treasury note* other than United States notes, shall cease to be a legal tender in payment of public or private indebted ness, on and after the first day of October, 1864, and no Treasury iiotQK made legal tender other than United States notes, shall hereafter be issued or reissued, nor shall the total amount of United States notes issued, or to. be; issued, ever exceed four hundred millions of dol lars, and sueli additional sum not exceeding fifty mil lions of dollars as may be temporarily requited for the redemption of temporary loan, Mr. POMEROY, ofNew York, said the present'ad vance of gold is not the result of speculation, ami not to be obviated by temporary ‘expedients, but by amnra, in practice as well as in theory, to the policy of gold values established in 1&52; that wifb.the amount of pa pormoney in circulation the. issuing .of imerest-boanng legalriender notes would add,nothing to the aggregate value of paper money, and could only , work nuseaief. The policy of 1562 of adhering .to' gold values must be returned to, o‘r rhe theory advocated by the chairman of the Committee of .Ways and Means(Mr. bteveas) adopted* namely, repudiating tho payment of interest in gold, sDd.reijmg entirely upon issues bf Govern . meat paper. The, efftet of the present inflation must soon become ruinous lo.the ma»-s of the people.. The fatal mistake on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury has been in abandoning the popular six percent, live-twenty loan and attempting to float a five-per-cent, bond, and upon, its failure resoi ting.tointerest-bearing legal tenders,and - on the part of Congress ift Uot specdily supplying an effi cient sy ft-rn-of taxation. If was, however, still possi ble, by adhering to correct natural, laws, to restore the credit o r the country to a healthy condition. Mr. HOOPBR, of Massachusetts, briefly replied,.and expressed the hope that the substitute offered by the gentlfcinan from New York'would not be adopted.

Mr. STEVENSeaid, while advocating his amendment, that those who attribute tho rise in gold to gambling are poor statesmen. Instead of passing the gold bill to re strain speculations, it would be butter to take aivay the demand for.goid, forno bill could reduce it a cent. The Secretary of rbe Treasury, in his wisdom, has said that the principal of the five-twenties is payable In coin, but the com t* in ihfee States have not so decided Mr. SPAULDING, of Ohio, said.he.had a conversation with the Secretary of the Treasury, who believes the payment of the principal U to be in gold. . -• . Mr. : STEVENS • replied that such was not the law, which t-ayirihe interest is payable in coin, and is silent about tbe principal. The latter is payable in currency. He briefly i ep; md. to Mr. Pomeroy, showing that the Conuniuee of Waysaud Meansnad faithfully performed their duty in providing the bills necessary for revenue, and then expressed the opinion that every trouole arises from the extraordinary demand for gold; for gold is not now- currency. lniS62, tho banks failing to loan the Government money, wo were driven to the neces sity of issuing legal tenders. No system ever worked better in this or any other country. He supposed that specie payment would not be resumed for lea years to come. During the great Napoleonic wars the Bauk of ho gland suspended specie payments from 1766 to 1£22. -Whoever looks for a more slusedy resumption in this country was,in hisjudgment, not wife, and i ad studied histovy to but liule profit. Be deprecated the present policy of paying iutarest oh the dcb#in gold, and-asserted that if this should coo tinue, wiihun increase of debt, the Government would fall. It was a fatal policy, which rests as an incubus upon us, and gold would continue to go up. as he long ago predicted,until the Government caouot tax high enough to procure tho coin; It was to save the country from repudiation that he then explained the character of hi* amendment, wMchwas to authorize the borrowing of iour hundred milli* hs of dollars, and to issue therefor coupon-registered bonds of the United States, redeem able at the pleasure of the Government after airy period not lefS thau five; nor more than forty years; ani, if deemed expedient, made pay»ble at any period not moie than twenty years from date, payable in coin, r Such bonds are to be of such denointusuious as the Se cretary of the Treasury shall direct, not less than fifty dollars, and bear an.annual interest not exceeding eiabt per cent., payable semi-annually ia currency. Mr. MuRRILu,. of Vermont, expressed his surprise at ihe proposition of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and said in the course of his remarks, if the interest ivas to be paid in currency, the interert would double or treble as the curieney decreased in value. Ho did notbelieve we could continue to carry on the war at this extraordinary rate of expenditure, but this rr mark was not applicable to the present year or the year the re afier. -• .■ • ■ ■ • ■ Willi the passage of the revenue hills, now pomtiag, we shall have ample security for getting money ououjrli and paying as we go oh interest on bonds aud other se curities. . Mr. FENTON, of New York, said he had not intended to speak on this question - He now felt a desire tu do ho, and hoped; ilie . bill would go over until to-morrow, iti orderthat heinighthavo that opportunity. Ue believed and thought he could demonstrate that the position of the 'gentleman from, Pennsylvania v as unbound, and fraught with mischief toward the credit and finances of the couiui y.

A few minutes: before the arrest was made, Mr. Bridge, of-the Navy Department, called upon Mr. Henderson with an prdor from the President, ro movingdiira from office and directing Mr. Bridge to take charge. . -v.., ; The arrest was made on the basis of an affidavit made by one Joseph X Savage, which sets forth that Mr. Henderson received from tho depo nent on the 10th of October, 1863, a receipt vouchor for $32,880.56, but did not pay to the deponent the full amount of money specified, nor within $2,000 oflt.' ■■ ■ The Post, speaking of the affidavit and its raaker> says “ The Mr. Savage, who made this affldavft. has been for several months'past a prisoner in Fort Lafayette, where he was confinod on grave charges of fraud against the Government, tho extent ami nature of which may be judged of from the fact that, as wo are assured, he is released on bail to tlie amount of half a million of dollars, which bail was persistently refused by the authorities, all along, untilthe very day on. which, by the date of-it, tlie foregoing affidavit was made. • “ We are assured on trustworthy authority ;tliat this affidavit was promised to Mr. Wilson, the agent of the Government, several weeks ago, upon his; engagement tp Mr. Savage that he should bo rre leased on bail when it was made j and this though bail haa been Constantly denied to every other per son Imprisoned by Government forasimilar oflTcneo.' It is further told us that Savage received the assu rance that-his affidavit and evidence should not bo. brought against himself. \ .'“This accusation against Mr.-Hondor3on is thus made by a man charged with grave crimes, and who has been induced, to screen himgelf, to make oath against another. Upon such evidence alono, so far as known to JUr.

It is clear that, to them it would be no small advantage to be able to work for two monthsina coun try .nearly the whole of which, as they allege, is Ger man by race and interest. -The advance of the season would aDo bring nearer the time when the Danes would have to forego one of their most efficient vreapoas of warfare, the blockade of the German ports. ; pAt last it was agreed that ere representatives of the belligerents should refer, to their respective Govern ments the proposition lor a fnrtbei suspension of hostili ties. The matter was, no doubt, referred to Copenha gen, Berlin, and Vienna by telegraph, and the atiswer will come soon enough o allow the question to be ■finally settled at "a meeting of the Conference, which will probably be summoned for the 9th June. ;On the. question or frontier, the Time# believes the neutral Powers have proposed the line of the Selilet as the frontier;butfor thspresr.ut they refuse to give up so nmch, although they concede the principle of drawing a line, and ask that it should be drawn north of Fiens burg. . The Daily News says the division of Schleswig, pro posed by the neutral Power*?, deprives Denmark of the famous Eider line, which has been its froutier against Germany for a thousand years, and by 'thus cutting off Kend.-burg and Kiel takes away its chief fortress and most valuable harbor ou the u.aiu laud.

Of (Ms fact wo have a stri king Illustration at the Great Central Fair, where thousands of delighted mortals are enjoying •' the luxuries of the season,” with their friends, served in the best stylo of cookery, while scarcely one In a> thousand is initiated into the great culinary sanc tum where all the cooking issoadmfrabiyporformed for this heterogeneous mass of hungry humanity. It Is for this reason proper, no less as a matter of justice to a patriotic firm, than as a matter of de sirable information to onr readers, that we should state that the great unseen culinary monitor, above referred to, is one of Messrs. 'Chase, Sharpe, Sc. Thomson's celebrated “ London Hotel Kitcheners,” of enormous size, generously given by this firm as a, donation to the Fair, the value of It being ona thousand dollars. After having served the Fait faithfully to Its close, lids groat “ Kitchener,” said to be tie largest ever manufactured io either Europe or America, will bo sold for the benefit or the cause, and we would call the particular attention of hotel proprietors to this opportunity of obtaining the finest article of the kind ever constructed. We may state iri this connection also, tltut two other of these splendid Kitcheners, of smaller size, suitable for private residences, arc now on exhibition as an additional contribution to the Fair, from this firm, and will be sold for Us benefit. We regret that, from the necessity of circum stances perhaps, the immense Kltohcncrhere referred to has been so effectually hidden from view in the cooking department, where visitors generally hare not the curiosity to enter. Nevertheless, it will am. ply repay overylntelligent man and woman who have any Interest In the subjects of cooking and house keeping to make It their business to visit this de partment for the purpose of seeing to what perfec tion facilities have been brought for preparing food on a large scale, in the best manner, with the least consumption of fuel, and with the great est comfojt and ease, _ Those who have visited the Fair without availing themselves of this ; interesting, spectacle will be amply repaid t»2 the time expended in making adosfear visit for that purpose. - That every hotel in the land, and every other, large -institution requiring cookin'- to be done have not already adopted the “ Thomson London Kitchener,” can only be attributed to the fact that the merit 3 of the fatter have not been brought to the notice of those having such establishments In. charge, though we trust that the day fs not distant when all the cooking in America, whether done on public or private account, will be by tic use of this we had almost said' greatest invention of the nine teenth century. Our own judgment in the matter!®, that as the advantages of this “KitoUeanv” becoino better known no wise hotel proprietor can aflbri to do the cooking for his guests by any other agency, ’ nnd' certainly the completeness of any dwelliig house will soon depend upon the presenoo of oneof these invaluable cooking arrangements. laded wc regard the influence which our Great Fair met have, in bringing the Kitchener more prominency before Mm public as one of Its most imported colt teral advantages. The multitudes who have e. . joyed the dishes there prepared, on reading ths article, we are sure, will have pleasant reed lections or what the Kitchener did for then and will gladly attest its merits. Nor bar the pecuniary-proceeds which the Kitchener hi brought Into the treasury of the Fair been Incons deruble.. It has cooked orer ten thousand meals 1 one day, and the receipts from the “Restaurant have averaged .nearly four hundred dollars per da more than was realized.from the same source at tb New York Fair on their heaviest day. The lengt of this mammoth range proper is twelve foot fot inches, to which are added three broilers, each oeo pying four feet, and eight extra stew-holes, ca. three feet in width, making the entire length of ti Kitchener nearly fifty feet. Within the last few years this celebrated “Kitel ener” has come into almost universal use inth residences of the European nobility, and Ita acknow ledged superiority over all other inventions of thav, class has made theft: introduction In Great Brital quite general. Their adoption in thi3 country i rapidly Increasing, ami must become general, e their decided merits over the ordinary range » bi come better known. Messrs. Chase, Sharpe .

Through the courtesy of the jjjoprietois, 1 we were , yesterday permitted‘to examit- at their warerooms, No. 209 North Second BCreayhtj eels brated “ Kitchener,” varying in capacity frea size* suitable for a small family to those adaped for hotels, hospitals, and large public Institsicns— i their entire line of them ranging through rgraiia- | tion of no less than forty different prices : j The advantages of the Kitchener over thfvommok ’ range can hardly be over-estimated. By i| cooking is not only done jaueft better, with less hmble, in shorter time, but with so much less fuelthat fcha saving in this particular, by actual exerimont, has been found to pay the cost of it inaiompar*. jUvely The most ordinary Obstyer can not fail to perceive at a glance, not only tic actual advantages which it possesses,' but the simp! philoso phy upon which they are based; and we areptt? cer. : tain that tile several hew :i u b importat featured which .Jt. embraces will delight every itelligont housekeeper. The rapidity with which iikeats wa ter, roasts, broils, stews, and bikes, la httrsordl nary.> This is effected by the ingenious reention of the heat generated by the small amount (ffael em ployed. The “ Kitchener” is also a greaftoiprove ment upouthc ordinary range, In point ofaspearaaea and tlurahility. It is at bnee ornamental, elaborate, and massive, presenting an air or soliiby not un usual in English mcifflanism. Besides the peculiari ties named, the new plan of ventilation which it em braces will be appreciated, and the same may be said of the warming -"closet a ttached to it, for keeping food at a palatable temperatdre; the faciiiti.s for Droning 1 with charcoal, (which is with many a-desideratum.) and. the perfect arrange ment for.. roasting.. Upon, the dole, we re gard this as the best article for cooking purposes ever offered in the American market. To insure the greatest strength, the castings are made of the best brands of iron, and of extra thickness, and are mounted with great care, in the best style. We ought to state that our own judgment in this matter is fully sustainedby some of our best-known citizens, who have “ Thomson’s London Kitchener” now to use, and whose testimony in their favor is most Bat tering. The proprietors of the Tremont House, Chicago, bestow upon it this high praise: “ We can safely say, from experience, that it is the best Banga we have ever seen, and it does more work, with less expense, than any other in use. Our saving In ooal over .the old Bange and hot plates 13 1,000 pounds per day, and your Bange, when it becomes fully known, will supersede all others.” Wherever they have been introduced, :they hgve proved to tha highest degree satisfactory, and; considering that so much of health and domestic comfort depends on ’ the culinary department of every homo, we cheer fully commend its general ailopupa. Tho Stove Works and Hollow-ware Foundry of Messrs. Chase,Sharpe, i- Thomson, located at tite cor ner of Second and Mifflin streets,in the extreme south eastern part of tha city, is by far tho largest estab lishment of its class in the "United States, tbs i>utid ings comprising it covering noless than six teres of ground, with two Cupolas, capable of runninf eighty tons of iron per day. Their present complanent of employees Is between three and four hundred. To undertake to describe in detail the operations of this immense concern, or- to publish a list or the .various articles which they manufacture, woild pro ;tract our article unduly. We may state, however, that they produce to from five to . ten differcit aigpa and prices all the following-named cookingrtoves: “Waveriy,” “Wellington,” “ Ornamental Cook," “Leo,” “ Prince Boyal,” “-Royal Cook,” “Beser voir.Top Eoyal,” “Sea Shell,” “Summerßose,” “Fuel Sarer,”“ The Amazon,” “Crystal,” “Ban ner Complete,” “Hiadem,”. “Woodland Home,” “Improved Belief,” “High Oven Premium,” “Keystone Cook, 11 “ Firofifio Bange,” “Parlor Cook,”“New NiuePlate,” “Sas Ovens,” &c. i -Also, that in parlor stoves their following braids have, a wide reputation: “ Dial Stove,’’ “ Gas burning Base and Top,” “Fire-board Stive*,’* “ New Egg,” “Crater,” “Salamander,” : N’ew Base Cylinder,” “ Fiery Star,” ’ “ Air-Tight Plates*” “Gas-burning Bases,” “Model , Par lor,’.’ “Vesper Parlor Kadiator,” “Fire-?laoe Grates,” “ New Franklin,” “ Violet,” .’fie. vere,” “F.rtra-Boi,” “Sis-Plate,” “Fa volte, ■’ “Locomotive Heater,” “ Torrid Heater,” and ‘Egg rortaMe.

The warehouse of this firm, as aLreaty stand, Is at IN'o. 203 North Second street, where speciuaerrof the, above-named articles,' including the goat “ Kitchener,” in various sizes,'can be seen. Vc need hardly add, m conclusion, that thnid of an establishment of this magnitude and oap.Uty would naturally be sought by the Government, ntl accordingly we find that for the ponderous ion hail which Undo Sam has been’pouring uponh» heads of devoted rebels during the last three yers, the latter, is -mainly indebted to the skill, add u instry of this enterprising firm, their present in duction of heavy shells being at this time ablt three thousand.p'er day.
