In Dr. Hospital, West Philadelphia; I remained Ihere nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, but in a few days my. dreadful complaint was raging as bad as ever. . Hearing of the wonderful cures per formed by Dr. Wishart’B Great American Dyspepsia Pills and his treatment for Dyspepsia, my - husband called on Dr. Wishart and stated my case to him. He said he had no doubt he could care me. So in three days after 1 called and placed myself under the Doctor’s treatment, and In. two weeks I began to digest my food, and felt that my disease was fast giving way* and ! continued to recover for about three months, and at the present time I enjoy perfect health of body and mind, *ahd I most sincerely return my thanks to a merciful God and Dr. Wishart, and to his great American Dys pepsia Pills and Fine Tree Tar Cordial that saved me from an Insane Asylum and apremUure grave/ All persons suffering With Dyspepsia are at liberty to call on me or write, as 1 am willing to do all the good I can. for suffering humanity. . , ; .

Dr, Wjsitabt : Ihavebeen a constant sufferer with. Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during which time I cannot say that I ever enjoyed a perfectly weiV day. There were times when the symptoms were more aggravated than at others, and then it seemed It would be a great relief todie. ;i I had at all times ah unplea sant, feeling in my head, bat latterly, my suffering so much increased that I became almost unfit for business of any kind; my mind was continually . filled with* gloomy, thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted to change'their-current by reading, at once a sensation of icy coldness in connection with a dead weight, as it werei rested upon rny.braiiti also, a feeling of sickness. would occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, , accompanied with which was the continued fear of losing my reason. I also experienced great lassitude, debility, and nervousness, which made it difficult to walkby day, or sleep at night. I became averse to society, _and disposed oniy to seclusion, and having tried the skill of a number of eminent physicians of va rious schools, finally came to the conclusion that, for this dise&se at my present age (45 years) there was no cure in existence. But through the interference of Di vine Providence, to whom I devoutly offer my thanks, I at last! found a 'sovereign, remedy in your Dyspepsia Fills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually removed almost the last trace of my long list of ail- ; ments and bad feelings, and in their place health, plea sure, and contentment are niy every-day companions.

I ! had “been greviously afliicted for the last twenty-eight years, andfor ten years of that time have not been free from its pain one week at a time. I have had it in its vrorst form, and have dragged on a most miserable ex istence—in pain day and night. E very kind of food that I ate filled me with wind and pain, it mattered not how light or how small the quantity. A continued belching was sure to follow. I had no appetite for any hind of meatß whatever, and my distress was so great for seve ral months before I heard of your Pills, that I frequently wished for death. I had taken everything that I had heard of for Dyspepsia, without receiving any benefit; but on yotLv Pills being recommended to me by one who had been cured by them, I concluded to give them a trial, althoughl had no faith in them. To my astonish ment, I found myself getting better before I liad taken, bne-fourth of a box, and after taking half a box, X am a well man t and can eat anything I wish, and einoy a hearty meal three times a day, without inconvenience from anything I eat or drink.

I made it a subject of prayer to God that lie would direct me to some physician or medi cine that would cure me, I was told to read an adver tisement of Dr. Wishart’s, in the Philadelphia Ledger, of a great cure made upon Mr. John Babcock, of 1023 Olive street, Philadelphia, by the Great American Dys pepsia Fills. I went to the Doctor's office and placed "myself nnder his treatment, and told him if .ho.failed to euro me it would he the I?jit effort i would make.

THE RICHMOND CAMPAIGN* How the Army Fares before Petersburg 1 —The Charlestonian Plan of Engineer ing—Hancock’s Corps in Trim, , [Special Correspondence of Til, Press. 3 . , • , I^ETEBSBtrRGvAND BBAUREOARD, AhMY HEABQTJAIITEBS, IiEAKPETBBSnBItO, V»., June 20.—The spires of Petersburg aro within sight. So near are we that shots from our field pieces have penetrated houses in the city. P. T. Beauregard commands the forces in our front. With his charac teristic recklessness, and inhumanity, be is .con structing his,works in close contiguity-.with 1 the’ dwellings of the inhabitants. When these works are fired on, we shall have the usual detectable Copper head hiss from all parts of traitordom, North as well - as South, about Federal savagery, in firing on non combatants. Indeed, they may, as .well,: begin’at once, for it. is credibly reported that a woman and some children have been slain by our shells. Let no one believe that P.T. Beauregard will cause the re moval of .the,noh-niilitary .dwellers in Petersburg. Not he 1. IJia jsystem of engineering requires their presence for.'the .protection of his works. ‘As at Charleston, so in Petersburg, will he claim exemp tion from our fire for dwellings of non-combatants ' and for hospitals. But his hospitals will mask bat teries in course of erection, shield magazines from destruction, and he used ns look-outs and signal stations. And the exemptions, if any, given from , . motives of humanity to dwelling houses, will as surely operate to the immunity of batteries and rebel forces from tbo efl'eots of our firo. Such Is the. chivalry of Beauregard. ■ Already we have had an Instance of the clever ness and dexterity-of the Louisianian arch rebel in ’ turning circumstances to host account, as old eio’ men revamp decayed garments. A flag of, trneo' yesterday proposed to give opportunity for remov ing wounded and burying dead, to within the shore intervening between the respective army lines. The Interval being granted, a working party of rebels instantly began a line of rifle-pits within one hun dred and fifty yards, of our front, 18TH army cores. ; The 18th Army Corps, that, did so well in taking tlio defences of Petersburg, has gone elsewhere to gather the abundant fruits of its enterprise. It was succeeded by the 6th Army Corps. Yes terday these deprived the rebels of frro guns. It was a violent measure, the only justification of which, that has’ been offered, is the assumption of a better knowledge of the use of cannonlhan was possessed by the garrison of Petersburg that yielded them, gracefully, of course, for Is not the Southern •noblesse oblige ! the 2d corps; And General Hancock’s gallant 2<L Corps. How should that be located, except “convenient to the fightin’l”. Of coarse, they were here on the heels of the lSth. They often “ travel ” together—nor Is their travail in vain. When Lee and a part of his forces came from Bichmond, last W edhesday night, the soldiers were assured that “none" but niggers, were In them works of ours,’taken by” the cussed trash.” They advanced to offer the. “niggers” Southern hospitality, after the Fort Pillow and Plymouth pattern. But at right-angles, or nearly, with those captured torts, concealed by the dark ness of the night, was the advance of the 2d Army Corps, with full cartridge-boxes and fingers’on their gun-triggers. Confidently, advancing, the fresh troops of Lee placed themselves within pistol Shot- Fatal imprudence i A volley Is fired, and the rebel line breaks. Formed again, they come on with a yell. Their opponents have sighted for the exact range of the ground they must cover.' The second volleyis still , moro fatal. They retire dispirited. In vain their officers urge them on with the mild per-, suastves of oblowa, and even cuts, administered with the sword. Oaths and epithets are lost upon them,- Ko’i.“ that way .danger lies.”!. They will no more of It. GRANT’S GRANITE. Next morning the rebels charged desperately along the whole line of the heights. Lee is reported to have said that lie “mill retake that position,” if it costs him his army, .- Again they are drivon back. The 6th Corps has just entered the works.that, during the night havebeen “turned, ” by the ener getic labors I>r the 2d and 18th Army Corps men. toward thocity. The guns no longer face the Fede rats. They are in reversed positions, grimly sur veyfog the morning landscapo through embrasures of red earth, moist and newly turned. Hilt Lee has spoken, and Ills men obey. They charge bravely and swift towards the guns. The camions answer the rebelyells with, hoarse thunder. And the will of the Gth Army Corps seems to bo superior on this occasion to that of even General Lee; for, albeit it Is tried twice, the attempt to restorm the works is a failure. " What now of the position? HoldingLee’s.army at immense disadvantage; Gen.: Grant will proceed to destroy the 1 railroad communications all around the rebel army. EMINKNT LEVELLERS, Already we have hews or Messrs. Crook, AvcriU,- and Hunter, as being seven miles below Lynchburg. This enterprising firm have accepted a contract for: destroying railroad communications in that neigh borhood. With large gangs of efficient laborers in their employ, these gentlemen are making good pro-; gross with the work, and their, large experience In the same lino of business justifies expectations that they will soon be ready for Further orders of asirni. larklnd," which they are prepared to execute in any part of .Dixie. Another task of the same nature is in the hands or that eminent, leveller, Benjamin F. Butler. Sheridan, too, with the: men and horses that work for him, have gone, and their track may bo traced by displaced railroad materials, horning bridges, and bent rails. REBEL LOSSES. General Elliott, of Beauregard’s army, is reported killed. Six hundred and fifty prisoners and 18 guns," with the colors and most of tho.officers and enllstod men of the 20th Virginia, are In our hands. Up to Saturday night, we had taken 850 prisoners and 18 guns from the enemy at this point. Our losses have been small, in comparison with the results attained. WHAT OEK. LEE SAXO. F rom an escaped Inhabitant of Petersburg we learn that upon tho arrival of General Leo, on Wednesday night, ho remarked, as ho surveyed tho position on tho crest of the hill overlooking Peters burg, just wrested from Ids troops: “To retake that hill will heed sterner fighting than we have over had.

T JIB BRIDGES ACROSS- THE APPOMATTOX ST ADS Dakok no us.—Tho railroad and common bridge# across the Appomattox, connecting Petersburg with Pocahontas and Richmond, are now shotted daily by two battories which are placed in a rather warm, position. Both are enfiladed and taken in reverse' by the firo <ff the rebel ’.batteries on the opposite bnnk : of the river, but are so well protoeted by strong traverses that but; little -damage has yet been received. Our guns have opened on the: jrailroad bridgo and the pontoon bridge to Pocahontas, and, after the rango was oo* tained, effectually closed thorn to rebel use. One long train went into the city just before the batte ries opened, and a second had reached halfway across when our shells began to drop about it. The locomotive whistled down the brakes, and, after coming to a sudden stop, backed rapidly off. and since then not a ear has passed over during the hours of daylight. The pontoon bridge is equallyas un available to tho-onemy, as it is quite as much ex posed, and is equally us dangerous a road to travel; as the railroad bridge has been found to be. All that now cross the river must sneak across under the cover of the night, when our artillerists cannot de tect their movements. The Inhabitants out of PETisnsntmo. —From information that we get, and from other evi dcnco that is brought to us by our lookouts, it Is cer tain that the inhabitants of the town are moving away as rapidly as they can with safety. The town cannot be regarded as a very safe or desirable loca lity for aquiet inhabitant who Is unaccustomed to'tho rude and, bloody accompaniments to a siege. Al though we have not yet regularly shelled the city, yet there are occasional shells dropping into the •town, and doubtless some lives lost from their ex plosion, Such accidents cannot well be avoided, when our lines arc within a mile and a half of the town and our batteries in range. ’Reports of Rebel Prisoners.— Rebel prison ers report Richmond preparedfor a long siege, and state that for three months past army supplies nave been forwarded to the city in anticipation of Grant's intentions. Most of the rebel prisoners taken are; still hopeful and confident of ultimate suceess. “In • what,” they sneeringly ask, “has .Grant been suc cessful? True, he has taken’more guns than we have, and perhaps a few more prisoners, but.wherein has he achieved anything like a complete success ? 1 Finding ail his attempts to drive us from our posi tion futile, he has evaded them by flank movements, and has to-day fewer prospects of taking Richmond than over.” Among the rebel prisoners sent to Washington to-day is a quondam correspondent of the Richmond: Examiner. Many of the prisoners captured of late are better clad than usual, and wear a substantial suit of light-blue cloth, rosem-, bling that worn by our men, which they state is manufactured in England, and. brought into'the J “Confederacy” by blockade-runners.

He brought away three hundred and seventy-five of our own wounded, but was com pelled to leave one hundred and fifty, who could riot be moved, with'-proper medical attendance. ■. The . rebels got into his rear once and captured, four he purposely left back; but on his return these were all retaken and some additional prison ers.. The rraid4s- considered a decided" success in official cirolos.-. ,* . Before this teaches you'another expedition will be "well underlay In a df!ferentaifectton,and the rebels ' Will be constantly barassed -’in this manner until the finafsurrender of Richmond. A. Sad, Fulfilment op a Jest.—A. very singular occurrence was: noted in the lOth-Massachusetts.' A sergeant lujd been engaged in the 2d division hos- Eital the day previous in" placing upon a number of eadboards the names of 'members of his regiment who,had been the late fight or had died in battle, which was to piark their-last resting place. There was one 1 board iri excess, and, in a sportive rein, he- placed /with" a ' lead pencil his own name upon it, and the date of his demise, 20th of June, as h!s term of service had then expired and he was nbout to leave'fdr home. - Yesterday morning, while negr the front bidding his companions in other regi ments'* farewell.he was struck in the breast by a twenty-pounder Parrott and instantly killed. * His remains were interred to-day, and the very headboard hehadunthinkingly inscribed with hisown name was placed over his grave, and, with date, correctly marks for the time his last resting place. The Retreat op General Sturgis.—When all was lost, our brave men without officers, regimental or general, faced to the rear, pressing the rebels, who had cut off their'retreat, until at last they broke through, demoralized, routed, regiments all mixed in confusion, every man endeavoring to save him self. The men in their desperation broke their guns over stumps and trees, throwing away their empty - cartridge boxes, coats, and even shoes, everything that would impedo them in their, flight.- Words cannot picture the horrors of this retreat. Not a mouthful ofprovlsion in the whole army, the coun try a barren arid desolate yaste, the ca>*alry,of the. : enemy harassing them on every side, worn down arid broken in spirit, they trudged on all the live long night through the mud and mire. Just at.daylight in the morning a column of rebel cavalrv dashed - through the these unarmed weary men, sabering and shtfoting right and left. All effort to escape was now abandoned ; they sank down in the road and yielded themselves prisoners, powerless to make another effort for liberty. Not two thousand wore saved of that bravo little army, niaerhing eighty miles in thirty-six hours. A word for the negroes. The Ist brigade formed the left and the 2d the right wing. The “niggers” were placed in the centre;. Now then we have at last a showing of what negroes will do in an open field. With those who witnessed their on this memorable day they-are hereafter not niggers but black men. They shot away their last round of ammunition, never giving one inch. They charged; bayonets three times against numbers vastly supe rior. They captured two stands of colors, and the last scon of them they were entirely surrounded, fighting.with their bayonets to the death.. Mr. Greeley arid Sir. Tluirlow Weed. Hr. Greeley has written a reply in the Tribune to the recent assault from Hr. Thurl’ow Wood in the . Albany : Journal. Mr. Greeley defends himself satisfactorily, and concludes with the following em phasis: Hr. Editor, good and true men whom I love and honor have appealed to me not to distraetthe Union party-by persisting in personal feuds .with Hr.;: weed. I appeal to yourjcolumns to vindicate me from this inculpation. I most anxiously desire to avoid such controversy whenever I can do so* with out compromising great and precious public in terests. Hut when I see private citizens like Messrs. James Hoy, George Opdyke, and Morris Ketchum, dragged wantonly before the public by T.W., and held up to odium through your columns, and those of the nois v chorus or claque of Copperhead oracles, who eagerly copy T. W.’s libels, and most wrong fully charged with robbery and .oppression, I feel that no one’s reputation is safe while he is allowed, to slander with impunity. Years ago T. W; arid I. were dally associates and , (as I thought) friends. ”VVe have since separated, simply and only because one of us has, come to believe in and practice systematically using legislators and legislation to advance personal interests and promote private ends. Whatever may be asserted, there is not, there never was, another serious ground of dif ference between us. The city railroad, bills of iB6O, the wliiskv legislation of the present session", illus trate the whole matter. I belleyed, and urged, that, those city railroads ought to contribute largely to replenish; our city’s treasury and lessen the burdens, of taxation; Hr. Weed took the other side, arid suc ceeded. So, when it became necessary to increase by Congressional action the market value of the distilled liquors in our country to the amount of several millions of dollars, I believed and urged that those millions should—at least in good part—be put into the national treasury, and not into the pockets of speculators, conjointly In legislation and liquor. lam beaten again on this point, and I hear and believe that T.W. is amongthe largest winners. 1 think I have not before used his name in connec tion with this subject; and I shall gladly be spared the necessity of over alluding to him again. Hut as to that, very much, Mr. Editor, must depend upon you. Respectfully, Horace Greeley. Wliat is Thouglit of tlio Gold Panic. [Prom the New York Herald. ] * : “Becki.ess Si'ecut.atobs.” —Since the passage of the gold bill-by Congress, buying and selling the prceious metal have ceased in the Stock Exchange.: There are no longer any official quotations of its price., A few. reckless speculators, many of .them with more sympathy with Jeff Davis than the Union cause, have taken advantage' of this condition ofatlairs, and are announcing gold at . all prices from two hundred to two hundred, and-thirty., Othera have increased the excltoment for the purpose of accomplishing the repeal .or a modi fication of .the'now law. The Copperhead press yesterday morning quoted it as- high as two hundred and ten, and endeavored to make the public believe that the rise was caused by the failure of General Grant In his operations on Petersburg. The effeotof the gold bill has furnished the sccesh sympathizers with a splendid opportunity to rush through the streets and kceplip a clamor and bluster, announcing gold at any price , they choose. That is the business that they are engaged in just now, which explains the whole affair, fret one of our merchants visit Wall: street with ten thousand dollars of-gold to sell, and he will very soon ascertain that gold is not bringing any such price as the sceesh street brawlers quote ft at. [Freni the K. Y. Tribune.] “ Gold-Gasi in. iKO.”— Gold-gambling has long been a favorite resort of treason and its sympa thizers in our city. The intercepted correspondence last year of prominent rebels burrowing here showed that they believed they were serving, their master, J tft" Davis, as much by foretng.up the price of gold in our market as they could, do by' loading Ills regi ments In Virginia.' Congress, by the new gold act, has struck them a tolling blow, and they writhe and foam madly in consequence.:' Their craft 1b In danger or, worse, and they are making desperate exertions to wreck the credit and finances of the Union, in order at once to glut tholr rapacity and secure the triumph of the slaveholders’ rebellion.

Among the most distinguished visitors yesterday wore the Knights Templar of the Commanderics of Washington and Baltimore, who appeared In their uniform, consisting of a black frock coat and pants, white leather bolt and sword, a three-cornered Cocked hat, with white and black feather. They, had with them a bond. After entering tho Fair they, endeavored to keep together, din a short time they separated, and visited the various apartments, not forgetting: tho “ Wilderness,” that has a historic Interest in connection with the Gjeat Sanitary Fair. Tho Templars generally, so faros our observation extended, wont through the entire programme, in the 11 'Wilderness,” and seemed to onjoy tho refresh ments’ like “any "other man.” With one 'ac cord they expressed thomselves highly delighted with the Fair.

The Identical flag is simply on exhibition in the Arms and Trophies De partment Tenn., June.iQ,is£4. •To the Union Ladies and Gentlemen Managers of the Fair. Fkiladelphia.Pa.: 'VVeherewith present to you a flag, not remarka ble for'its fineness oftexturo or beauty of workman ship. As will be observed, it is a plain, unpretend ing flag, having thirty-four stars, emblematic of the States of our "Union ere treason madly attempted to tear a portion off. Its' history;-! however, is a little remarkable. It was biade by the 1 ladies.of Cleveland, East Tennes see, early in April, 1861, and was presented to the Union men of Bradley county, through their chosen spokesman, MissSalHe Shields, now living at Galesburg, Illinois; and it was received by K. H. Edwards, now; colonel of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry. The* addresseaTßade on the occasion were 'pre served for a tirnb, but finally burned to prevent the rebels from getting them. The flag was; given to the breeze on the Bth of April, 1881, andScbntinued to wave defiantly, not withstanding thousands of rebel soldiers were phas ing the town daily on the trains to "Virginia, until about the sth day of May, 1861, when an Alabama regiment,more hot-blooded and devilish than any preceding; stopped their train, loaded their guns, and threatened to’mareh on the town if it was not taken down. - A few ’ brave-hearted men railed around, their" flag pole* with &id'fashioned rifles, determined to detend it tp thblaat. ■ : ' v ; In-this juncture of affairs the Mayor of the town ordered ittaken down, to preventa useless encounter with overwhelming numbers. : After ityras tbttsTorced down, It was secreted for a time totko town, but eventually, taken to the country and hidden away, to prevent the rebels from getting it in their possession. It remained concealed until about the ist| of Feb ruary, 1864; wh6m the loyal citizens, redeemed from the reign Of Treason, hoisted it on a new pole, near the samp spot where it was first given to the breeze. The speeJbes on this occasion . were delivered by Col. the 84th 111. infantry, and Colonel 'Gross; 3ffv!BflgsBiep4tk Army-Dorps, and* were, re ceived with every mark of approbation by the loyal community,; 7 O. J. Smolde, Who was very prominent in pre paring and raising the flag originally, and whose . daughter delivered it; had To fly from the country in a short timo. and now 'resides at Galesburg, Illinois. • . R. M, Edwards, who received Ilyhad to .leave the country also, some time after, disguised as a fisher-:, man, under the pretence of. going, on a fishing ex cursion, which covered'hisAbsence until he reached the Federal lines. He.has returned as colonel of the'4th Tennessee Cavalry. Tho people of Braaiey county, for their persist ence in their loyalty, anu, as tlie rebels said, their unparalleled obstinacy in keeping this flag floating when air others In the State had been torn down, have suffered almost every indignity that could he heaped upon them by the myrmidons of Jeff Davis. Last autumn, when Bragg’s army occupied Mis sionary Ridge aml-Lookout Mountain, and had our little army cooped in Chattanooga, they took partl eular'pains to vent their spleen on this people, and ■robbed them of all their: sustenance, and they are ndw without the commonneccssarles of life. This is a brief history of the' flag and tho people by whom and for whom it was made. ~ We now'sendlt to you with the hope that, for a time, It may aijhthe object of your praiseworthy en terprise ; and when it shall have served the purpose for which It is sent,'we havo to request Its return. • We gave It to the breeze In IS6I for a short season, and. were told at. the time ,by Col.

Or the first we know nothing except that the arrangement appears to display , great ingenuity in uniting comfort and circular motion. JOf tho Gipsy Camp it is but fair to say a few words. The lady who' is the Gipsy Queen deserves especial credit for the taste and enterprise thatshe has' displayed'in founding this novel department. As it appeared when the Fair was first opened, there was a beautiful grotto form ed by decorating the pillars and roof of a casHron summer house with evergreens and artificial flowers So neatly was this done, however, that the whole resembled a natural bower, lighted by means :of colored lamps, which swing from invisible wires . As a background to thjs, and tho better to carry out the intended idea, were four officers 1 tents,which at night appeared quite gipsical, enough for all in tents and purposes. In the centre or tiffs place, and surrounded by beautiful jpnng ladies, the' Queen held her ’witciilng summer house was taken down and erected in the restaurant. Its place was promptly supplied ...by a larger, and, wo think, even more appropriate booth, beautifully adorned with flags anthflowors. The lady in charge has enlisted tho services of all the prominent favorites at the late prtr3tp, theatricals, and every evening adds to the charms’ of -'tho department by some exquisite, duets by the best amateur vocalists in Philadelphia, ■' She has already' made by her exertions a: handsome sum for the Sanitary. Upon one occasion over $5O were taken in ! littlo over an hour. THE BRUO BOX. On tho table of the Seventeenth section of'tha School Department will he found a piece of fancy work well worthy of careful observation. It Is called; o “Drug Box,” and Is composed or ovor 1,000 differ ent articles used in the manufacture of drugs,-all of whichare finely varnished and artlsticallyarrangod. 'The poppy heads," cards mo seed, root ginger, ma rine blue,'gum copal,"and all tho various articles of different shapes, sizes; and colors form a magnificent specimen of fancy work equal if not superior to the celebrated wax. work on exhibition in another part or tho building. It is tho gilt of Mr. John B. Fer guson, a well-known druggist In* the upper section 4 of opr city, to tbe School Department of the Fair. It is valued at fifty dollars,* and is to be drawn for at twonty-fivo cents a chance. The young ladies in attendance kro .very careful of their trust, aijp are desirous of getting the requisite number of names. A few more subscribers are wanted to complete tho list. * THE BREWERY. ' This department of the Fair has met with Abund nnt success. All the boor and other malt liquors used in the Fair are contributed by the Browers’ Association. A oashlor Is stationed at the entrance, from -whom tickets are obtained at the moderate rate often cents each. This is done to prevent con fusion nt the counter, whero there Is no ohango given. BABY ROUSES. This’cla'ss of articles seems to be one of the fea tures of the Fair. They loom up before you at Hour ly every corner, from the aristocratic $l,OOO house on Union avenue to the small cottago at $25 on the. Bace-street-corner. They are. of nil conceivable sizes and designs, and furnished with taste. Most of these bousos are the doarly-prizod gift of chip drenwho have contributed their all, tlioir houses, lands, otc., for: the benefit of the brave soldiers. When wo look upon them, and see what sacrifices the little ones can make and do make for the gal lant defenders of our liberties, do we not; feel humbled that wo have done so little in comparison with the abtindahoe and wealth which we now enjoy! Those houses, as they tower aloft above masses of needle-work- and gorgeous draperies, are the children’s monuments of patriotism dedicated to their bleeding and suffering country. During tho past week much has been done in this department; tho improvements ehlclly consisting of what an artist would oall “retouching.” To tho attractions of the room has boen addod that,of music, and from the reeessos of tho central pyramid is nightly hoard inspiring strains from a brass hand. Were these strains loss loud and martial we think would ho hotter—something iitiry-llko and’ delicate, issuing from beneath tho palms and orange trees, would be far more enjoyable than the full burst of a brass band, which is necessarily at such a short distance from Its auditors. Notwithstanding the' volume and force of tho music, it is of the host qual-; ity and adds much to tho popularity of-the lui.ll. In the fountain-pond several now water plants, have made their appearance, and wo noticed last week some .fine specimens o f tlte magnolia macro phylla floating on the water. This ; magnificent. member of the magnolia family is a native of North Carolina. . . .From the “mainland” to the island, now stretches a rustic bvidgo which adds much to the beauty of the stream, and Is. in far, hotter keeping with tho spirit of tho scene than tho toy sloops and batteaux which are anchored here and there, without any meaning or appropriateness that we can see. :- There isnoportion of the Horticultural Hall which attracts more deserved attention than tho fruit de- partment, which is under the Immediate charge of Mr. Tlios. Meehan, assisted by an efficient cotyjs or ladies. We notice on these tables, among much re markable, and, we have no doubt, dolieious fruit, some well-grown and ripened watermelons,which are quite a rarity at this season. They wore for sale at ono dollar each. ■ Some extraordinarily large and heavy lemons were contributed by Mr. H. ,N. John-’ son, of Germantown. • They were about five times the size and weight of ordinary lemons, and brought, readily, fifty cents apiece. Bananas were there in profusion; pine-apples, Imported and growing Ire.: fore our eyes; and strawberries temptingiyarranged in little ,baskets. This fruit, attracts more notice and is the occasion of more animated discussion than any other, froiu the fact of tho Fruit Committee haying offered a number of silver fruit-knives, orna mented with suitable inscriptions, as prizes for cer tain specified exhibitions of strawberries. Different conditions were made for each day, and, as the chief object or the committee was to induce the donation oriargo quantities of fruit to,the Fair, persons con tributing were encouraged to send as many straw berries as they couhl spare, and a pertain quantity of those least damaged were selected hytho commit tee to be placed in competition for the momorial knives.’ The prize for the best two, quarts of strawberries of any kind, shown on the Sth of June, was won by Wm. Nathan Leeds, of Cinnaminson, N. J. -His ber ries were .“Russell’s Prolifics,” and were of re markably fine quality. There. were many kinds, in competition for Otis prize. The closest rivals wore the "French’s Seedling” and tho “ Triomphc Ac Gand,” . The prize for the largest quantity of any kind on. the 10th of June, was given to Mr. W.illiamParry, of Cinnaminson, who contributed sixteen quarts of fine “Albany Seedlings.” The knife to be given to the exhibitor of the best two quarts of Trio:npr~de Gand , on the 10th of June, was decided to he the prize of Mr. D. W. Herstine, Germantown. The exhibitor of the largest quantity of any kind> on the 14th inst., was Mr. Parry, who gaineda second prize for liberality. " ' Mr. W. L. Sohmffer, of tho Girard Bank, gained the prize on June 15th for the best two quarts' of Albany Seedlings. .. ' Tho prize for the best quart of any kind, on the 16th, was taken by Mr. J. V. : Merrick. Ills straw berries were Triorapto ds Gahi. On one of the exhibition tables Is a fine collection of twenty-five Cornelius, which wore generously given to the Fair by Mr. James Ritchie.

Where was it, and what was ill We wore not long in doubt, forbeforeus, onasales table, was a beautiful plant and flower of the A'ly/il blooming Cei'eus. To those Who have not seen this flower, description- can convey no idea of Its beauty and perfume. . Coming into bloom only at night, and fading away black and ?shapeless before morn '.ing,~we may call It tho flower of civilization,.for our first parents, who retired at sundown and rose with the lark, and all their descendants' who, followed their example arid'the wise precepts of “Poor Richard,” must have forever remained in ignorance of this most beautiful member of the floral family. But if we only stayed up b’nights when our cereus -should bloomfbealth might yet glow on our cheeks and sparkle in our eyes, for it blossoms but once in seven years. We were so much charmed with this flower that we forgot toaskof.the fair lady In charge the donor’s name. ' WINTER EVENING PASTiXK.

A very handsomo donation of;“De mulcent ” soap was received from Blr. J. C. Hull, of New York. A. considerable amount of perfumery has changed hands since the opening of the Fair, and, as very little of it -goes a great way, there are thousands of visitois, for months to come, who will think of the Great Sanitary Fair when standing be fore their toilettes., ■ SAKNDEUS’ CADETS. Professor Saunders 1 cadets drill , every afternoon in the open space in the southeast part of the Fair ground, and never fail to have a large audience. Theygo through the drifl with astonishing preci sion. :It would be a happy thing, Indeed, if youth generally were as conversant with military tactics. . THE BECEaafccKOEnT.AT THE FAIR. The concert evening, given at the' ■Great Central Fairf.was in every respect a delight ful entertainment! It was given under the auspices l of Mr. Clement B. Barclay, whose taste and 010. gance of arrangement are as'-wpll known as his other more utilitarian powers. Blrs. Moulton, a lady whose extraordinary vocal gilts have received the highest tribute of applause, was induced by her warm patriotic feelings to exert her talents for our wound® soldiers on this occasion, and sheacqnltted herself. with. great credit. The singing of Miss Schaumbcrg was equally delightful. Tho Carnival was sung in a wonderful manner, with tho variations, which, we understand, are of her own composition. Bliss Brooks sang charmingly.. We have heard Jenny Lind execute “Qul la voce” in a less satis, factory manner' than Miss B. did on Tuesday eve ning. Messrs. Moehring and Angler wore very valua ble in their assistance. Tho former has a fine, deep bass, and the latter what the French call “la voix ducceur,’,’ a soft, sweet tenor. Bliss Howell gave ono of t hor dolicato characteristic nocturnes,-with - her usual felicity. The grand pianos, one a capital' Stcinway, were admirably managed by Siguprs . Perelliiand Rizzo. Upon the whole, this exquisite ‘ musical entertainment has worthily crowned the series given by -patriotic amateurs for their bravo defenders. THE HORSE-SHOB DEPARTMENT. The groat success which tills novel fcaturo of the Fair has all along met with, is quiio remarkable. To wear a small horso-sheo pendant by a rod, whlto, orblue ribbon, from lapolioa of coats, or from com mittoe’s badges, was quite an ambition, and there is no regular attendant of the Fair without, and few transient visitors who have not procured a me morial of tlio Sanitary Fair in the shape of a horse shoe. The machine fbr the manufacture or the. horse-shoe Is a very ingenious contrivance and at tracts universal attention. ,: The machine is the in vention, we believe, of Barney Mol, who represents a firm in Troy, N. V. COMMUNICATION. To the Editor of The Press: Str: Iseo by several of the morning papers that a beginning lias been made in conferring rewards for services rendered by members ,of committees who have labored, in the Great Central Fair. I.ot all workers in this nobte cause take to themselves tho greatest of all rewards—a consciousness of having done a duty, and done it well. I do not believe there is on individual laboring in the Fair—from the president down—who would care to have any other reward than tho one above mentioned; I most sincerely hope there is. not. Why. therefore, place any one in a false position before the public, such as officious friends run tho risk or doing 1 ; Let tho motive that has, no doubt, actuated every one, Stand but pure and simple. Lot all reward bo ut terly discarded, tending, as it must, to invidious distinctions, and perhaps marring, at tho close of the Fair, ono of its most beautiful elements—har mony among all who have been engaged thoroln, A Committee Man. . Tlic Raising of Box Kents, To the Editor of The Press Sin: Together with all box-holders, at the post office, 1 havo received notice'of an intended advance in rule after July Ist of one hundred percent. X sympathize with the views of Merchant, ’’ in .your paper this morning, and cannot rofrain from ex pressing surprise at’the course adopted, -This sur prise, so far aB my observation extends, is universal. By doing this, the Government uses its influence to aid tho depreciation of our currency, and tends to justify tho enormous enhancement or gold; when, in tho opinion of all loyal men, tho course should bo tho reverse, and every effort made to discountenance and counteract the efforts Of speculators, who de light in this further evidence or their control over the finances of our country. Tho increase becomes particularly unjustifiable when wo consider that this branch already pays hotter than any othor be longing to the department. Tam, sir, respectfully yours, i A Box-holder for Past Twenty Years, PtULADELCHIA, JUUOSI, 18'Hi THREE CENTS. lINMCIAL AKD COMMERCIAL. The excitement in gold lias abated, The flurry and panic are over, bat the premium is still at a very high point. It fluctuated yesterday from 110 to 116. The lat ter figure, however, was not realized except in one or two instances. The statement of the public debt, which wo published yesterday, is grafclfyingas showing a very marked con traction of the currency. The Secretary of the Treasury, appears determined that the national finances shall be brought back to a sound and healthy condition.'Daring the past month the interest-bearing legal-tender notes withdrawn amounted to $38,890,700; the ordinary legal tender notes withdrawn to $17,258,572; the reduction at present in legal-tender notes, of. all descriptions to $56,1#,572. This return to a sounder mode of raising money disturbs a large class of people who think it au outrage that the Treasury Department is not managed solely in the interest of speculators for a rise. They forget that for three years the necessities of the Government have caused the manufacture of currency, which, has inflated .prices and made the fortunes of 4 ‘ bull * * speculators. Time has educated the Treasury Department thoroughly. A contraction of currency is now in full progress, and those who fail to comprehend it, and arrange their business in harmony with the'new policy, will regret it. Just as surely as the manufac ture of currency steadily forced prices up, its retire-, ment will cause a return to lower market values. The stock market was steady yesterday for nearly all classes of securities.. Government loans were held stiffly—the long loan selling at 112#, the seven-thirties atICS fOT the clean, and the five-twenties at 105#; State fives were unchanged; city sixes (hew) advanced a fraction. There was more doing in company bonds.
