US' Voluntary correspondence is sollcltod from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and nayal departments. When used, It will be paid for. A National Militia System. A thorough State and national militia system has long been a standing necessity of our Republic, It lias become one-of the ideas of politics, and is a conviction among all our public men. Wore the nation en tirely out of danger, this subject would still bo important, not only as a safeguard to ourselves and a warning to foreign Powers, but as a moans of educating the people in the noblest practical responsibilities of the citizen. Such a system would consolidate and organize patriotism, loyally, and na tionality—a very interesting consideration to all who have studied the moral character of the Jwar. Wo have bad the material of ’popular devotion abundantly—all that it has lacked is a system of mobilizing and nationalization. In such a case war would not bo an untried experiment to the people, patriotism would be a common and daily duty, and if it lost some of the frenzy which belongs to the occasion, it would gain! more regular, effective, and universal strength among all classes. In itself the ' education of a soldier is an accomplishment which no citizen need be anxious to forego or inclined to despise. In the fullest sense, the office of citizen must include that of . soldier, as the ballot must include the bul let ; and wo can only see moral, physical, social, and national benefit, as resulting from a well-established system of general military responsibility. Denmark and Switzerland are both small countries, and it is only because they are nations-of ..sol diers,: systematically vitalized with the military spirit,; that they have been' able to so gallantly - maintain their in dividuality . among,! nations. Give the same system , to: the ./immense .raw power of the Union, and the world might be successfully defied—each State would be more than Switzerland or Den mark. The Government would be more a Government, the State more a State, and the. nation more a nation. Wielding so great' a nationalized force, what rebellion cotld again successfully oppose the Go vernment ? A citizen of the United States would have triple, honor in being an Ame rican, a republican, and a soldier. What better guarantee for the freedom of the citizen than hot only his free right hut his legal duty to defend himself and ‘ his coun try ? What better assurancejtliat the Ame rican idea on this continent shall bo re stored and maintained ? We have thus endeavored, to explore the subject in its broadest scope, hut its present bearing is a matter ,of near and sheer ne cessity. We have had. years of perilous war, in’which this whole theme has been learned by heart j hut it 13 strange that, in spite of the late imminent peril of the State and the nation, no thorough and energetic effort has been made to,guard ourselves by a defensive system against a repetition of the very evils which we deplored as result ing from.the want of such a caution. Fully able to defend its own border, tlie great State of Pennsylvania must gratefully ae- knowledge the generous service of its sis-, ter States, as having seemed almost neces sary to its preservation during the invasion of Lee. We waited; dilatory hours, while every step the rebel trod upon our soil was a burning outrage upon the man hood and freedom of every citizen in our noble and glorious State.:; We risked the terrible hazard.of Gettysburg, and won that dreadful chance because our own historic veterans in the Army of the Potomac did double work that time, and wreaked upon the enemy all the earnestness which our.peo- -pie -were powerless to express in deeds. And '-•wliy ? Simply because this great Border State, the right hand of ;tlie nation at all times during the war—the moral and geo graphical barrier for the free North—and more 'than once, perhaps, the forlorn hope’ of the land—was without any militaia system ? The dangers which we have rehearsed appear to ; have passed away, now that Grant is at the gate of Richmond. With out disputing this point, it is very clear that the intimate necessity of a militia system will not cease while the war lasts. We have great armies to supply, and every State must "support in numbers an army of its own. To do this, we have usually fallen back on; the draft, and found it a necessa rily unpopular resort, and in most eases a very frail reserve. The draft has been in operative to give itstfull supply of men! to the armies, and volunteering lias not tho roughly sufficed' for the proper defence of the State. What is needed, therefore, is a comprehensive militia law, embracing both volunteering and the draft, and placing - every citizen upon the footing of equal con tingent military duty./ ; • , The national militia bill lately proposed in Congress occurs to us as satisfactory to these requirements. Its superiority to any State bill is, that it includes; State action in ihc immediate service of the General Government, and makes the citi zen soldier at once a soldier of the nation, ; thus -comparatively mobilizing and con solidating the giant forces of the nation, . which under State systems are slower to act, and less efficient and intelligent in purpose. This bill provides for the esta blishment of a national bureau of militia in the War Department, its chief officer to he. appointed from the regular army, to ho called the United States Adjutant General of Militia, and to receive a salary of $4,000.. An Assistant Adjutant Gene ral will also be. appointed, with.a salary of $3,000; and in' every State and Ter ritory of the Union there shall be an ; Assistant Adjutant General and Quar termaster General, who shall also be Com missary General and Inspector of Mili tia of the United States for the. State, these officers being like wise from the regular ariny, anti appointed by the Secretary of . War on nomination of the Adjutant Gene , ral. Every Congressional district is termed a militia district, for which one assistant inspector, one medical director, and one Assistant Quartermaster Commissary Gene- 1 ral of militia shall he appointed by the Sec retary of War. The Militia Bureau thus -constituted will make provision; for enroll ing, drafting, and organizing and uniform ing, aTming and - equipping the militia of the country after the style of the regular army, the Bureau being also qualified to test the competency , and character . of militia offieers appointed under State laws, and to dismiss them with the approval of the War Secretary. The militia will he constituted of four classes, viz.: Single men between 20 and S 3 years; single men between 82 and 45 years ; and married men of the same classification of age, with the usual exceptions of officials, physical ex empts, &c. Triennial enrolments will he made -in each district, and distinct and particular lists will be advertised annually and fully. Provision is made for a general draft in- December, 1804, of twenty per cent, of the entire number enrolled, no per son to be drafted from oho class till all in the prior class have been exhausted ; this conscript organization to be.called “The Na tional Guard,”' and to serve for three years; the residue of the enrolled to be styled the “Deserve.” Volun teer companies and; regiments will be received into the drafted service, and the State authority will of course make out commission's in the general militia,-which Shall have regimental and battery drills once a month, and a district encampment annually. The National Guard will be kept up to a constant standard by draft, and the President, upon the need of troops for actual service, will call upon the Go- Yemors for so many regimyits and batte ries, the choice to be determined by lot. We have thus given the main features of this very 'suggestive bill, which presents us briefly with the framework of a ycry general mllitia system. Whatever modification it may have to undergo,'it affords an abun dance of material for valuable and timely legislation. Our Present Duty. • As the Copperheads have abandoned the campaign, and find nothing in the career of President Lincoln and Governor John son to assail hut the fact that they were once hardworking, industrious, laboring men, we may ho permitted to take a ge neral view of the present situation, to see what is our present duty. From now until September we shall have rest. The em barrassments and excitements of a political canvass are postponed until the days are colder. Our own candidates are in the field, supported by a compact, brave, and determined Union party; and' our pre sent task is not with the campaign or its issues, hut with, the country. There will he certain political duties for us to do in the way of organization and discipline— not so much to elect Mr. Liwcoiar ■Presi .denkas to sustain him now that lie is Presi dent. We must remember that it is not so much our work to labor for Mr. Lincoln’s 're-election in the manner customary to po liticians—by speeches, and tracts, and clubs—as to sec that lie is sustained in his efforts to put down the rebellion and restore the Union. Wo know, that the President himself regards any ho nors or responsibilities that may he im posed.on him as in every way subservient to the work of crushing treason. He told us when in Philadelphia what p;as upper most in his mind. “ This war," lie said, " was begun or accepted upon the line of restoring the national authority over the whole national domain, and for the Ameri can people, !as far as my knowledge ena bles me to speak, I say we are going through on this line if it takes three years more.” ! We. must show the President that in this case he. really did speak the voice of the American people. Our present con cern is with General Quant and the great: army now before Petersburg. lias, lie men enough to carry on his great cam paign ?' 'Have we given Mr. Stanton troops for his armies, and Mr. Chase money .to pay them V In this time of war, economy is. parsimony, .and; profusion thrift. We cannot give too many men to fight in these wars—and unless they are fought to.a victorious and final conclusion we might as well hold no election at all. Of what good will the Presidency be with Mr. Lincoln a fugitive, and the defeated remnants of Grant’s army "rallying behind the Delaware or the Ohio; and it will cer tainly he such a' Presidency,. if, by any weakness or apathy on our part, we lose the advantages we have gained, and per mit tlie rebels to defeat' us. Such a defeat is tlie only alternative of the defeat of the rebellion. We slay them or they slay ns. It must not, be'a Hamlet and Laertes com bat—as it will he if, in scuffling, we change rapiers. We hold the weapon whose point is death, the weapon of emancipation, and we must drive it .home. We have placed it in the hands of the President, and his sword-arm must be upheld. Therefore, although our duty is to be stern and prompt and vigilant in all things; necessary to thwart the schemes of the con spirators and aid the election of Lincoln and. Johnson, we can best serve our coun try by securing the triumph of our armies, feeling assured that their triumph will make the Presidential canvass the mere announcement of Mr. Lincoln’s over whelming majority. We must do nothing to give comfort to those whose success will be our downfall. There, are a hundred ways to aid the' rebellion apart from taking up arms or becoming an active member of what is called the Southern Confederacy. Congressmen, preachers, writers for news papers, dealers in stocks, holders of gold, may aid the common enemy as effectually as General Lee or Mr. Yallandigham. Our duty is to make war upon all these elements—bitter, constant,; unrelenting war—-so - that we may utterly slay them. We might have done this by a political canvass with Lincoln and Johnson as leaders, and McClellan and Yallandig- HAM 'as. the leaders of the Copperheads; but, as this has been refused,we must unite upon the.country and make its success our chief and constant aim. This is our pre sent duty, and we must perform!'it. ; General Banks. < The Missouri Republican some time since printed an atrocious letter from! Louisiana, detailing certain outrages which! were charged to General Banks. We took oc casion at the time to show the falsehood of the statements of the Republican's l corre spondent, ami we now see that that news paper itself makes an explanation in the following fashion: “ Officers, who have recently arrived in this city from service in General Banks’ department, affirm that ho is unpopular with the soldiers of his.com mand,.anti has, in a great degree, lost their confi dence. They deny, however, that the. soldiers have indulged in any mutinous demonstrations, and the late report that he was compelled to take refuge on a gunboat to escape their fury contains no truth'what ever.n ; - ■ - Now we trust that the 'World and the. other Copperhead: newspapers, which have reprinted the; scandalous letter from the Bepublican will Take notice of the correc tion and denial, and give it the same public city. At the same time we commend to their attention another just and proper .statement from the Cincinnati Commercial: •: “However poorly Banks may lava managedasa military man up tie Bed river, he is not chargeable with having made the move, having been ordered from "Washington to do so, in order to penetrate Texas. “As to cotton speculations, charged to him by the correspondent of the St. Louis Republican it is not true.-- • , - “ Porter claimed as prize all cotton on the river, and from one to five miles on each bank, and hau carts to haul it in, disregarding private property and every order or regulation. His officers are charged with taking off private marks and putting on united States navy, or adding to the S. N., O. S. A,, and sending it up the river. Banks determined to send all . marked O. S.A, to the United States and protect private property. . “He was not willing (and justly) to have his army capture for the navy and get no benefit. Hence he turned all over to the United States quartermas ter, and thus prevented the navy from getting all as prize. • ■ “I do not like to see Banks* falsely charged. He has sins enough to answer for without adding thereto falsehoods to screen others.” "We dismiss this subject by saying tliat no campaign of the war lias been as much, misunderstood as this Red liver expedition. The truth is gradually coming to light, and, when known, it will be General Banks’ best explanation, and certainly his best defence. . The gentlemen who have in hand, as it seems, the cast-off political clothing of the rebellion, and the- stock and apparatus of the new political havq resolved to postpone the Chicago Convention. * This is a matter which will very easily postpone; itself, if tlic party in question was not post poned long ago by tile people. This party has lived; upon postponement, and its epi taph will be written “ postponed indefi nitely,? 1 . The worm or miller nuisance, and the penny policy of the passenger roads, ap pear to be tlie : two favorite minor problems of thediour. A correspondent, who sub scribes “ Energy” to a .brief and earnest letter, recommends the offer of a reward of one .penny for the head of every: miller brought to pound.by the enterprising boys of the city. There would be remarkable propriety in making our passenger compa-. nies pay this miller bounty .out of the tax per capita on passengers. Our corpora tions have yet opportunity fpr another vigorous insect policy. : The Art Gallert at the Central Fair.—- Notice is given In our advertising columns that the Art Gallery at the Central Fair Is pponod during the early morning hours.from 7& to 10 o’clock for connoisseurs and others tv ho may desire a compara tively private view •of the; pictures.

Lord Palmerston is experiencing the ill effects of having no definite policy as to Denmark. It may bo safely assumed that his own sympathies, for his foreign policy lias generally been’liberal, are in favor of Denmark, with which Prussia is now prac tically illustrating the familiar fable of "The Wolf and the Lamb.” Whatever Palmerston may desire, it is evident that some controlling power hoids Idm hack. Lord Ellenborougtt strongly affirmed that Queen Victoria is restraining him, (her feeling being so much against Den mark that the Princess of Wales,her daugh ter-in-law, and a Danish Princess, scarcely speaks toiler,) but Lord Russell assured the world, in his usual forcible-feeble manner, that the Queen did not intrude her private predilections on the Ministry, but agreed with them on everything they submitted to her consideration. Unfor tunately, Lord Ellenborougii’s accusa tion is generally credited and Lord Rus sell’s denial: as . generally disbelieved. Tlie late Prince Albert’s opinion, from the time of the treaty of 1852, was that the German Duchies attached to the King dom of Denmark ought to be ruled by a Gorman prince. Albert's only brother, the Duke of Saxo Cohourg, was the first to start this idea, last winter, and is one of the most energetic assortors of M the rights” of the Prince of Augusteuburg, who claims the Duchies. Queen Victoria, consider ing her late husband’s will as law, has sided with his brother and the rest of the German Confederation against Denmark. Such, at least, is tlie popular belief in Eng land. If incorrect, why has not England interfered to prevent (lie Duchies being violently severed from Denmark ? and, above all, see what a precedent she is es tablishing against herself, in the event of some .turn of the wheel of fortune interest ing Europe in favor of Ireland, and de claring that separation from Great Britain was to he decided solely by the general, vote of the inhabitants. : .The Danes had some grounds for ex pecting material aid from England; To say nothing of tlie recent matrimonial con nexion which lias made! a daughter of Denmark wife of the heir of England, the European arrangement of 1852, which se cured the Danish crown to the Prince who now wears it, was suggested and mainly made through British diplomacy, and, when the present troubles began to loom in the distance,' Lord Russell’s cor respondence with the Danish. Ministry un doubtedly held out an implied promise of active aid, should it bo needed. It is pos sible that he was sincere, at the time, and meant to help Denmark," but.it is probable that, a strong hand, albeit in. a. silken glove, held him hack. Queen Victoria’s sympa thy is not with Denmark. . This is causing trouble to Lord Pal merston. This places him between two fires. On one hand, Disraeli and the Opposition badger him, almost to a signal defeat, in the House of Commons, and, on the other, Germany has got, and carefully nurses, the idea that England must be, and is, antagonistic to her, because the Prin cess of Wales is a Dane.: The anti-English feeling in Germany is so . strong that a British; subject travelling there runs every chance of being' insulted —especially in Prussia—and .the'Confederation is said, to bo forming a league against consuming any articles of British, produce or manufacture. Germany cannot see how Queen Victoria should turn against her daughter-in-law's country,, and will not see that her sympa thies are with Prussia, of which her own eldest daughter will be Queen one day—if the monarchy last so long. , The Conference in London, upon the Danish question; has not yet come to any conclusion, It is said that a sort of com promise, for; the time, may be made. This would wholly detach Holstein from Schles wig, the river. Eyder being: the. dividing line, as it ! has been . for centuries, and the fortress of Rendsburg and the harbor and town of Kiel going with Holstein. There is a railroad from Hamburg, which branches off at Keumuster, on the river. Schvale, .forming a fork, one point reaching 'Rends-, burg and the other touching Kiel. The loss of Holstein would be severely felt by Denmark, hut it is better to part with one Duchy.than with two. Had England made tlie 'slightest, manifestation':of protecting Denmark, no act of spoliation would have been attempted. Mr. Gladstone, the. financial administrator .of tlie British Em pire, has assisted Queen Victoria, perhaps without intending it; in; her resolve not : to draw the sword for Denmark.: His object is to diminish the national expenditure and reduce taxation, and, therefore, lie objects to war, which is costly. The place of Eng land among the nations is a thing, how ever, not to be put in the balance with the* extra expenditure of a few millions on the other side, and .Oils".policy.of “Peace, at: any price” may yet involve England in. a very costly war.. Great issues." depend on the result of the Conference of London. Whatever it may be, England has cleverly contrived to please no one. WASHINGTON. Washington, Juno 21, CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. SUMNER, by unanimous consent, submitted a resolution inquiring of the Committee on-Poreign Rela tions if any legislation is needed relative to treaties with the United States of Columbia, which, was considered and passed* THE VISITATION OF PORTS, ETC., BY CONGRESSMEN Mr. RIDDLE submitted .& joint resolution, to allow Senators and Representatives to visit forts, military pri sons, and hospitals, in their respective States, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs,- Mr. FOSTER called up the House bill supplementary to the act f ntitled an act to grant pensions, approved July 14» 1862. Some amendments were considered : &ud ; agreed to. Some discussion arose on the 9th section, and was par ticipated in by Messrs. Foster and Ramsey,'relative to tho allowance of pensions to persons, not enlisted men, who volunteered for the time being to serve, iu the; forces of the United States against tne reb£lg v &ttd In dians, and were disabled by such tempOKfißT service; * The commitue’s amendment strikes out this provision. . A discussion arose on. the amendment which provides pensions for widows and children of cdljored- soldiers, and its further consideration was postponed, to take up the special order, being the miscellaneous appro priation bilL • ■ - Mr. SUMNER offered a new section, that the eighth and ninth section of the act prohibiting the importation of slaves into any port of the .United States after Janu ary. ISES, which said sections regulate the coastwise slave trade, be hereby repealed. Mr. SHERMAN said it was not proper to encumber ‘this bill with this proposition, which was hot perti nent to it. Mr. SUMNER replied that his amendment was appro priate as connected with the Custom House, it was necessary to have these two sections removed from the statute book, fie referred to past legislative history to show where important reforms hadoeen engrafted ou pending bills. . Mr. SHERMANrepeated that no extraneous matter, or matters not germain, should be attached to appro priation bills, and in this case a controversy might arise which would embarrass the passage of the bill. Mr. JOHNSON said there was nothing in the Consti tution which prohibits slaves from being carried from, one port to another. a . , Mr. SUMNER. I think it is utterly unconstitutional; I have oo doubt of it Mr. JOHNSON. I exclude you. : Mr. 'SUMNER. I beg pardon. Mr. JOHNSON. If. the carrying of slaves from one port to Rnotlier was without restraint!-would join the Senator in the proposition for repealY !■ ' Mr, SUMNEft said: he wished to have nothing to do with regulating the slave trade, and he wanted nothing to do wiOi snob atrocious transactions.. Mr, HENDRICKS opposed the amendment; and said it was but another effort to weaken the,-regulations which our fathersestablished. If the Union ’is restored it must be on the basts of the old Constitution. There are not wisdom and virtue enough to make a new one. if those who are now .estranged do not come back under the old Constitution, lie did not expect they would come back under a tew one. Wheu the war broke out the Northern people were undivided, but n*w they were separated and tie South united. Why? Be cause the party in power have broken their pledge and deceived the people. This was the change brought about within the last three years, not by the Demo crats of the North, who only.asked that the union might stand as the fathers made it. : If this had been adhered to thetUnlon feeling in the Sonth would have been strengthened, while the North would have remained undivided. Mr. COLLAMER ’said whether the amendment was appropriate or hot, it was here, and they must vote for . or against it. Jledid not believe Congress had the same power in relation to regulating commerce between the States and foreign Governments. - He did not believe Congress had power to lay an embargo on. any State, but could on tliewhole country regulatingforeign trade. • The statute which it is proposed to repeal attempted to regulate the slave trade or commerce in slaves. . The Constitution gives no such power. If they could regu late they could prohibit, and these principles had been decided by ihe Supreme Court of, the United States.; Slaves are not articles of trade, commerce, or,merchan dise, to be reeulatect by the terms of Congress. - Mr. SUMNER amended his proposition;that the coast- - wise slave trade stall be prohibited forsver^ Mr. JOHNSON said the amendment jasi proposed placed the question in a different light from, the mere section to repeal the act of 1807. It went beyond. If.as the Senator from Vermont remarked, there is' no-au thority to allow the coastwise slave trade, he mu«L to he consistent, ad mi t that there Is no ant h erlty to prohibit it. If Congress, after ISOS had not prohibited the slave trndeii might ha vefbeeu carried oa.and what then would it have been? Comnif rce between foreign nations and the United States f* If the law is repealed ‘slaves may he imported again as merchandise He controverted : the views of Mr. Coliamer and opposed the amendment in a chnetitntional argument. Slavery.iwas recognized jfs property in tho slave States, and being thus recog nized it was a subject of trade, and being.a subject of. trade it was a matter with which Congress could iu teifer eby regulation, and it has been regulated. / The further consideration of the hill was. postponed, when, On motion of Mr. SHERMAN, it was Resolved, That onjaad after Monday the Senate will meet atll o’clock. The Senate, athalf pastOo’clock, adjourned. THI HUPSOH BAT AM TUQET SOUND COMFAXY.

A Buchanan Collector on Trial yon Swin dling.—-The Detroit Tribune says that Miohael Shoemaker, ex-0611cctor of the port of Detroit, Is on trial In that city for swindling the Government. He \vas?appoinied by President Buehnnan. Charges were made against him, and a special agent of the i Treasury Department was sent '.on from Washington to investigate’ the items. Tho Gov ernment agent came on, the affair was investi gated,/and Shoemaker was turned out of of fice. Several criminal actions were commenced against him and indictments preferred, but the grand jury threw out the bills' In February, 1862, (saysthe; Tribune,) the Hutted States District At torney commenced five civil "suits' against Shoe nmker, one of which, is now pending, and four others have'heen consolidated. In the’present suit it is claimed Umt $lO,OOO Is duo the: Government* on moneys had and reserved by the collector, and not account cdfor or paid over to tbe'XJnitcd States. : The first witness called for tho plaintiff was Mr. Dodge, the deputy collector under Shoemaker. He was examined at some length, testifying in-re gard to tho. business of the office, tho lees re ceived on fee entries, dutiable entriQS, permits to land goods, entries oT vessels, etc. The counsel for the defence, Mr. Lothrop, denied that the Go~ vernment had any right to collect of the defendant the fees received by Mr. Shoemaker. A disous sion vpop points of law ensued, .and authorities were consulted extensively. Mr. Lothrop r con tended; that if : the collector collqeted/money for which there was nowarrontby law for its collection, . the Ynlted Slates was not entitled to recoivo it.

A HORRIBLE OHILDOnjRDER. ; A most terrible story, characteristic of low-life manners and morals, has just been made public In this city. It appears from tho evidence given before the. Coroner’s jury, that a Httlo girl, aged only three years, , has died from being subjected to' the most brutal treatment at the hands et a certain Dora Clinton, with whom been living since the death of her father. The following is a summary of the testimony: Mary A. Gregory had seen Clinton beat the child with her. hand so as to knock her dowD, then making her stand up and knocking her down again. Mrs. CBaton had made the child drink very impure water, and had threatened, in a certain event, to make more impure matter Witness had seen .the child stripped and tied to a bedpost. Mary Wagati testified that Clintoiv had often locked* the child up all day with nothing to eat. Maria Slattcrly testified of the child:.“l have seen her arms black and blue in streaks for a month, I haveseen the cbildobliged to walk on the sidewalk from one lamp-post to another until it was so fatigued that its head lay to one side as it walked, and Mrs. Clinton was sitting on the stoop with*Mrs. Wagan all the time.” .There was other testimony. of a most damnatory character. The ’ examining surgeon found the body much emaciated, and showing marks ofdisooloratlon over its entire surface. Sixteen, distinct marks of vio lence were visible on the head alone. The Coroner’s jury rendered its verdict In accordance with the facts, and found that Mrs. CHn ton’s husband was accessory to the crime. The parties are both young, and natives of Ireland. • Both have been committed to the Tombs. PAINFUL RUMORS. There are rumors of the gloomiest character re specting the death of a person who was lately in terred from this city-rumors which, although at pre- Sfinfc they cannot well be verlfled, are retailed with no little degree of positiycness -by those who moved in the same circle with the suppositious victim. Perhaps the facts may yet be made public, if they are substantiated by the inquiries which are at present being prosecuted.' Should such- be the ease, there will doubtless be an other of those repulsive sensations which have only too frequently of late shocked the public mind,, and put it out of all conceit;with hu man nature. The story as it runs, is a re lation. of unnatural crime and shameful tor ment—sacrifice by the most despicable means which human shamelessness has invented. An ; attempt whs made some time ago to suppress certain papers which related to a fact concerning the supposed victim—papers which exhibited a state of things that might very naturally have Induced the supposed crime, reasoning that one criminality may induce another. A few days may or may not justify these rumors and attract odium Where it is deserved. • . Stuyves'ant. POLITICAL. The Harrisburg Telegraph refers, in the follow ing terms, to the Representative in Congress from Dauphin county: “ Mr. W. H. Miller’s vote opposing the eoustitti tional abolition, of slavery may be regarded justly as the basest act of his life. It is a baseact, because it.is in direct opposition to a large majority of his constituents, without regard to party tics. It is a base act because it seeks to fasten the curse of sla very nh a free people forever.; Henceforth let no man believe in the professions of. tho Copperhead leaders. The perfidy of their acts on this question establishes the. treachery of their designs on all matters affecting tho integrity, present safety and future perpetuity of the Government.” Hon. John L. Dawson has been unanimously renominated for Congress by the Democrats'of Fayette county. :.. , The Democrats of "Westmoreland county havo nominated John Hargnett and John W. Riddle for Assembly, and John Zimmerman for Prothonotary. "Westmoreland elects with Indiana. The Union men of. Huntingdon have nominated Win, Darris for Congress; Captain Brice X.

Public Entertainments* Academy op Music.— The complimentary benefit to bo given to-night to Mr, Leonard Grover is well deserved, for no one has been of more practical advan tage to German Opera than ho,.nor has anyone : striven with more ability and earnestness to establish It permanently ih America. Since the Opera, has : been under his direction it has been an uninterrupted and unequalled success in Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Washington. Mr. Grover deserves no ordinary share of the credit of this success, for it. is a fact that immediately before; he assumed the mnnageraenfcof the company the artists had decided to close the season. To him, also, we will be in debted for the presence of Wachtel, the great tenor, next full, and for a larger and hotter com pany than has yet been known in America. It is therefore pleasant and proper that Mr. Grover should have been tendered this acknowledgment of his services by the company, and every friend of the German Opera will unquestionably help to crowd the j . “ Faust” is chosen for the benefit, and Is probably now the most popular of operas. In addition to this tlio Inst act of the charming u Dame Blanche” will bo sung. Mesdames Frederic!, Johannsen, and Canissa, and Messrs. Hermanns, Himrner, Habei mann, and Steinecke, will appear—in fact, the en tire company, in all its strength, will be in the cast* of the two operas. Carl Formes, whom we have not heard for years, will also sing. With to night ends the season. We shall have no more grand opera till fall—no more music, savo that, or the promenade concerts, at- the Fair grounds, arid amateurs in parlors. Wo-must take “ Faust” as a farewell and a souvenir till September. Ciikstnut-stjikkt Theatre.— The Seven Sis ters,” with. Mr. McDonough as Mrs. Pluto, will.bo played next week..

CITY XT JEMS. The Yerhict of Thousands.— The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine, sold at their elegant Brown-stone Warehouse,*No. 704 Chestnut street, above Seventh, has steadily maintained Its su premacy in the Sewing Machine ranks in the face of the most ambitious opposition. In many re spects, in fact, this establishment, and the various other offices of tho Company in the differont cltie3 of the Union, may bo regarded as the Sewing Ma chine headquarters. The Wheeler & Wilson is not an experiment, but a tried, confirmed, and acknow ledged success. This is the verdict of thousands who now have them in use In this city and else where. Any one wishing to test the character of the work made by these machines should visit the workrooms, 704 Chestnut street, and examine the various madc*up articles there offered. No higher endorsement could bo asked or .received for these machines, however, than the fact that,, wherever and. whenever they have been pub licly exhibited for competition they have taken the* 4 first premium,” Overfire thousand Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines are .now in use in this city alone, in our best families, and among them all we have never yet been apprised of a single disap pointment, In fact, there is no possible risk in buy ing a Wheeler & Wilson machine, as every one sold is warranted to give perfect satisfaction to the pur chaser, or the money is returned. Visitors, to the Great Central Fair should not fail to call at the Wheeler &. Wilson ! establishment, No. 704 Chestnut street, above Seventh. The Wheeler & "Wilson ma chines have this peculiarity also, that they are prac tical and easily learned, and the work they perform, while it is vastly more beautiful, is equally as dura" ble as the very best hand-sewing. Famr of tiie Florence at the Fair.—-The agent of tlie Florence Sewing Machine Company in this city, No. 630 Chestnut street, has made a great hit with his display of machines, and the manner in which , they operate at the Great Central Fair. There is not an Intelligent visitor who examines this interesting department who docs not express bis or her entire satisfaction with the admirable ma chine iiv question. The “ Florence ” machine is, with out doubt,, the machine of the age.. In appearance, the character of its work, and perfect simplicity of construction, it leaves nothing to be desired. Every machine is supplied also with a u Baraum Sclf-Sew er”—an invaluable arrangement for guiding and: adjusting the work without the slightest labor to the operator—and a guarantee accompanies every machine, insuring it to. give. the purchaser perfect satisfaction, or the money to be refunded. - Elegant Summer Clothing at Great Bar gains.—Messrs. C. Somers & Son, No. 625 Chest nut street, under Jayne’s Hall, not only offer the most perfect stock of fashionable ready-made ap parel for gentlemen, made from the choicest and most approved materials, but they are selling at lower prices. We have taken some pains to ascer tain the relative prices charged at our leading clothing establishments, and are bound to state, as a consequence, that if any of our readers wish to secure a first-class garment or suit, made from popular materials, in the most approved style, let them visit the house of O. Somers & Son, 625 Chestnut street. As these gentlemen import their own fabrics, and are not following, the example of some others in the matter of marking their goods up In sympathy with ; gold, their prices are - decidedly, lower than are'usually charged for the same class of goods. The Grover &v Baker Triumphant.—lt was expected that the various prominent sewing machine companies of this city would seek to make the most favorable impression, possible upon the public by their several displays, and certainly they all deserve credit for their enterprise and liberality. In three respects, however, the Grover & Baker, with characteristic success and public spirit have r attracted most attention. Their presentation of machines to. the Fair was most munificent f the character of. the machines themselves for beauty an elaborateness of finish Is universally remarked, and their display of artistic sewing, executed by these -magnificent machines, astounds everybody. This display has been a great card for the house, and theirwarerdoms, 730 Chestnut street, have been crowd ed with customers almost every day during the entire Fair. Refrigerators Improver,—Wo yesterday ex amined specimens of the improved Eeliance Re frigerator, at the store of Sir. J. S. dark, No. 1003 Market street, and were satisfied that the superi ority .claimed for them, is fully sustained by the facts. The intrinsic value of this Refrigerator is its economical consumption of ice, and its un doubted excellency in preserving meats and other provssions*the.longest,periodof time with the least expense. His manufactory of them being con ducted on the most extensive scale, enables him to sell them below the ordinary price. We may safely predict an immense sale of these articles during the present season. Tempting Connections.—There ; is positively nothing in the entire category of delicious ediblps that appeals so effectually to the palate as the luscious Confections made by Messrs. E. G. Whit man & Co., No. 318 Chestnut street, below Fourth, and the variety of their productions is as endless as tlieir qualities are superior. Bet no bne thinkof leaving the city without carrying with him a budget from E. G. Whitman & Co. for “the loved ones at home.” The aggregate of happiness that can be conferred in this way is incalculable. Excellent Photographs.—Mr. F. Gutekunst, Nos. 701 and 706 Arch street, has recently executed fine photographic pictures, in various sizes and styles, of Mr. James E. Murdoch, Generals Han cock, Meade, and Grant, and Bishops Wood, Kings ley, and Simpson, duplicates of all of which can now bo had at-his counters. ■ The. follies op delay could no.t bo-more for cibly demonstrated than by putting off the purchase of winter supplies, of Coal before itattains a much higher figure. Take our advice and send in your orders to W. W. Alter, 935 North Ninth-street, without delay. You will save money, get the be3t Coal, and full weight. : . About one thousand persons pets DAY,main ly visitors to the Fair, now visit the great Confec tionery establishment of Mr. A. L. Vansant, Ninth and Chestnut'Streets, and their comments upon his. delicious sweet Jordan roasted almonds; elegant French and American mixtures, chocolate prepara tions, Portuguese secrets, and all the finest tropical fruits imported, are no less flattering than are passed on the great Fair Itself.. Tnß “ Prize-Medal ” Shirt* Invented by Mr. JohD F. Taggart, and sold by Mr. George Grant, : 610 Chestnut street, Is, without exception, the best in fit, comfort, beauty, and durability.

Among.them arc the original chartor of the city, with Penn’s signature and great seal, ahdacopy of the treaty with the Tuscaroras for all the southwest part of Pennsylvania, west of the Blue Hills and Susque hanna river, with the original endorsed agreement of John Penn and Richard Peters, to pay an addi tional sum to the Indians.
