HiU; : and begged to have him administer the oath of allegiance and give them safeguards. The captain, however, bad no authority to act in this matter, and referred them all to General Butler. How they* were to reach the latter was nbt a question that he explained. v The utter hopelessness of thitr&bsV cause seemed to have entered the minds farmers in this neighborhood, and great anxiety was. mantiested to be aeain considered citizens of tho.Un|oh ‘aaUfc’was or as it is. " DISTRESS IN EICimOND.—-XOSSES VOF TUB. : TWO ARMIES. The New York World publishes the following facts, 'furnished by its Washington correspondent. ■They are based on accounts from rebel sources. He says: ’ . The fortitude with. which the rebels have borne their severe losses in the past two months seems to be iriving way. A wail reaches hero from Rich mond,, telling of agony and distress in that capital' taxing human endurance to its utmost. From 1 an: active sympathizer with the rebels—one who- is in their confidence—it is learned that the distress in and around Richmond cannot.be expressed orimoginert. Theforcedmarchosto defend important points ouainst our cavalry have used up a large num ber of men. Diseases of various sorts prevail to a fearful extent. 1 It ;-j estimated, that General Lee Thffk between forty ar.d fifty Thousand sick and cn his kaikk:. whom he finds it Impossible to remove beyond the scene of actual conflict.

Father and Son.— At tho door of tho Chronicle in Washington, is a bulletin hoaid, on which prool slips ofimportanttclegrams are posted. Those last three weeks have given us who pass up and : down that street a now sight—not tho last telegram, but long lists of killed and wounded; and not tho crowd of, men curious for war nows, but tho faces, eager and. anxious, of fathers and mothers whose hearts are with Grant’s army. Passing tho othor day, I found an old man thoro alone. Tall, erect, firm of mouth, tender of eye, nervous oF nostril, quick of speech, he looked fiity or sixty years of age, and llko a master mechanic. He stood closo. to the. board, slowly rolling a lead pencil down the list of killed, and intently following with his eye. He turned as ho heard Thy. Atop. “ Young man, let Inc uso your eyes a minute.” “Certainly sir,” I answered. “ I’ve. lost my glasses; I’ve got a boy In tho army. We' first heard ho .was woqnded, and then we heard bp was killed—help mo.” He told mo the name of . the regiment—the 12th Now Jersey. I rah'down the half column of “dead.” “Not there,” I said} “‘Ah!” sharp and reserved, but there was a long,; relieving breath thereafter. Then I began thef columns of “ wounded.” l)own the first one, dqwn the second one, slowly, a. little nervously, for .I heard-the labored breathing of the firm-mouthed old man closo at my side, and through his dross and bearing whs looking Into his Newark home. Throe or four inches down the third column I found the name. Ho knew I had found it before I took my finger from the paper. Weill” : The boy is a hero if ho is like his father, “In the arm, and in Judiciary Square Hospital,” was my answer, Iloft him at the gate of the squaro. Next day I called at tho hospital. Tho old man mot mo at tho door. “All right; left arm just above the elbow ; I’vo got him a furlough, and wo go homo to-morrow morn ing.” I shall not soon forgot tho proud tone la his. voice, as ho said that “all right.” A Sad Incident.— Tho 129th New York is in Sherman’s- army, and, on tho 17th, was advanced alone up to the enemy so closo that it was compelled to halt ior tho tlmo and throw up slight breastworks oi logs as a defeneo. Bysomo untoward mistake a party of fcwclve.or fifteen men wore ordered to ad vance hoyond these works on picket duty. Though knowing that itwas almost certain death to show their beads abovo the walls of thoir little fort, still tkey oheyed without question or hesitation. They had advancedScarcoly more than arod beyond their comrades, when a heavy volloy of musketry pros tn ted to the ground every man save two! Two •werc killed instantly, and the rost.woundcd more or less aovercly.- All of the wounded, howover, wore able to' dri«r. themselyes back ami escape, ex cept one'A’poor* iVllow, Sergeant Guidcr, who was go badly wounded that ho could hot stir from liiS’plgco. There he lay almost within arms li»jiglh :bi his comrades, and yet they wero power less to rescue him-or give him aid, so galling was the rebel fire. One bolder than tho resc made the hazardous attempt, but soareoly had ho got ovor the breastworks when ho fell severely wounded. They endeavored to allay his raging thirst by throw ing to him canteens of water, and even-one of those was pierced by a rebel bullet. Finally, as they - could not go ovor the breastworks, they dug a way finder them with no other implements than their bayonets, and through it two men crawled and suc ceeded hi, reaching him unhurt. Just as they, reached him their, comrades In tho rear gave an' exultant cheer, which -elicited from tho rebels another volley. A fatal bail pierced tho poor fel low’s breast tor a second troie, and he had only time to murmur feebly to his rescuers, “ Now I dlo cwHcpt ; I am in your hands,” and expired.

That the people are the supreme sove reigns, and tho Constitutions which they have or dained are the supreme Government, and that all the assailants and enemios.either of the people or of their Governmcntare traitors alike, whether UiGir treason; ho manifested by suppressing free elections, by chaining the press, by establishing political Bas tiies, or by ridiculing or repudiating the observance of oaths and Constitutions, ; 2d. That in the interpretation of the Constitution wc are guided by the declarations of its authors, by the deliberations of the Federal Convention, by the resolutions of 1798 and 1709, prepared and expound ed by Jefferson and. Madison, and by the decisions of the courts. * . .. 3d. Guided by tfceSe lights, wo declare that the coercion and subjection of eleven or more sovereign States was. never contemplated as possiblo or au thorized by the Constitution, but was pronounced by Us makers an act of suicidal folly yand if the people of the United States would hove restored their shattered constitution, and averted from them selves and their posterity the slavery of a military despotism, and a . public debt,., the interest upon winch can never be met, they must bring the war to a speedy close; that the revocation of all unconstitu tional edicts and pretended laws, an immediate ar mistice and a National Convention for the adjustment of bur difficulties are the only means of saving our nation from unlimited calamity and ruin. 4th. Thatthe Administration now; in power has attempted to strike down State sovereignty. It has interfered with the rights of suffrage reserved to the power and controlof State Legislatures. It has deprived citizens of their lives, liberties, and pro perty, without dun- process of law. - It has placed the military above the civil power, and against the spirit of free Government, and tho President has unblushingly proclaimed the : Constitution he has sworn to support to be no longer of any force or effect whenever he may determine that it should be disregarded. The party in power have deluded the people into the granting or men and money to their unrestricted control, for the pretended purpose of preserving the Government, which they, have used, and are still using, for the base end of overthrowing State institutions, advancing mere party interests, and cstablishiM; them -on permanent and despotic power. • •- sth. That a'free press, free speech, free ballot, freedom of religion, and the writ of habeas corpus to protect the personal-liberty of every citizen, are the essentials of a free government, and a free.peo ple will have and maintain them at all hazards. 6tli.

They have fought for three yea rs, and have made no progross, and it’s evident to us in this country that a people who ' have shown themselves so.gallant and courageous as the Confederates, can nevcrlio conquered. Besides,’ says he, 4 you in the South arc becoming bankrupt,. and we won’t loan you any money; and I think it, a most shameful outrage that you Southerners persist in trying to overrun and conquer so brave and noble a people as the north.' He then entered into a long philosophical disquisition oh the constitutional rights of the States, which wa3 about as sensible and logical aS the remarks I have quoted.

Tew topics of especial interest appear in our last English files. The correspondence from Paris con tkmes a few old subjects in a serial of unim portant narrative, whose fresh sensation ■ died off some time ago. M. Ernest Renan’s nomination, by Imperial decree; to the post of assistant sub director of tho Imperial Library at Paris, and. his declination of that office, still make some murmu r in the current talk of tho press. M. Renan is now worid-known as the author of what sorno of his re viewers have termed a religious novel, the sensa tional “ Vto de Jesus,” and is at tho same time pro fessor or Hebrew and Syriac in the College of I 1 banco, from which the .Emperor’s decree'was de signed toV. remove him. This rather arbitrary favor the professor has not accepted, and in a let ter to the Minister of Instruction disdains the Go vernment salary applied to the chair or Hebrew, Syriac, and Ohalilaic.' “ I keep the title,” he says; “which I hold on the presentation of the Professors of the College de Franco and of my associates of the Institute. I shall continue to perform, without salary, the duties which that title imposes on me— that is, I shall labor with all my might in the pro gress of studies of which tho tradition has boon en trusted tome.” The suspension Of Ills course or lectures at the University and his translation to the Imperial Li brary arc looked upon by-Renan’s adinirerers as an attempt against freedom of thought. .Others are of opinion that the chair of Hebrew, Syriac, and CUal dftlo, intended to instruct youths In Oriental litera ture, and.which enabled M. Renan to propound his peculiar doctrines on the divinity of tho Saviour, and; indeed, on revealed religion, is not a private foundation, nor. is It maintained by voluntary benefi cence. It Is not a pulpit set up by a particular sec tion of religionists. It was founded by the State, paid for out of the budget—that is, out of the taxes, to which all contribute. Tho population practising or at least professing phristlardty numbora about 37,000,000, and the .question'is whether a.profe'ssor paid out or tho public money for lecturing on the ancient tongues does or does not satisfy tho end sought by “ teaching that the founder of their reli gion was an impostor’and that religion itself is a lie,” ..... A number of new fine-art exhibitions were lately held in London, the noblest of! which was the British the Old Mas ters, so abundantly rich in choice productions of the famous Dutch and Flemish school, works of Reubens, Euysdael, Rembrandt, Ouyp, Yandyek, Jari Stein, anti the rest The most remarkable masterpiece of all was that marrollous painting by Velasquez, “Las Mefiinns,”. or the “Maids of Honor,” which Luca Giordano christened tho “ Theology or Gospel of Painting,” a name which the art-critic thinks misapplied unless it bo justified - by the fact “ that the picture is full ofiniracles, and Itself, perhaps, the greatest miracle of painting. This is certainly not for its beauty, either of execu tion, color, or subject. Tho first is .slight to appa rent slovenliness, the second is little but a combina tion of neutral grays; the third; is absolutely ugly: . in most points, and what beauty it has is deformed by all that dress can do to make childhood and girl hood hideous, Yet the picture j.to painters at least, and to allwho understand what-painting is, is at once an object of wonder, admiration, and despair.” A description of the picture is taken! from Mr. Stirling’s monograph on Velasquez: “In 1656 Velasquez produced his last great work —a work which artists, struck by tho difficulties en countered and overcome, have generally considered his masterpiece. It Is tbe large picture, well known in Spain as ‘Las Aleninas,’ ‘TheMaids of Honor.’ Tho scene is a long room in a quarter of tho old palace, which was called the Prince’s quarter, and the subject Velasquez at work on a large picture of the royal family. To tho extreme right oi tho com position's soon the back of the easel and the can vas on whieh he is engaged; beyond it stands tho painter with hi 3 pencils and palette, pausing to converse or to observe the effect of his performance.. In tho centre stands the little infanta, Ma ria Margarita, taking a cup of water from a salver, which Donna Maria Augustlna Sarmion to, maid of honor to the Queen, prescnts'kneeling. To the left, Donna Isabel de Velasco, another me nina, . seems to be dropping a coartsev; and tho dwarfs, Blariaßarbolo and NicoiasPertusano, stand in the foreground, the little man putting his foot on the quarters of a great tawny hound, which de spises the aggression, and continues in a state of solemn repose. Some paces behind these figures Donna Marcela de TJlloa, a lady of honor, in nun like weeds, and a guarda damas are seeninconversa tion, At the far end of the room an open door gives a view of a staircase, up which Don Poser Nioisto, Queen’s aposentador (quartermaster), is retiring. Hear,this door there bangs on the wail a mirror which, reflecting the countenances of the King and Queen, shows that they form part of the group, though: placed beyond the bounds of the picture. 'The room is hung with paintings, which Palomino assures as are works of Rubens ; and is lighted by three windows in the left wall, and by the open door at the end, an arrangement of which an, artist will_at oncecomprehend the difficulties. The per fection of art which conceals art was never better attained than in this picture. Velasquez seems to have anticipated the discovery of Daguerre, and taking- areal room aud real chance-grouped people, to have fixed them, as it were, by magic For all time on his canvas. The ‘little fair-haired infanta is a pleasing study of childhood, with tho hanging lip and fuli cheek of the Austrian family. She has a fresh complexion and lovely blue eyes, and gives a promise of beauty which as Empress sho never ful - filled. Her young attendants, girls of thirteen or fourteen, contrast : agreeably with the 111-favored dwarf beside them. They are very pretty, espc : daily Donna Isabel de Velasco, who died a reigning beauty, and their hands are painted with peculiar delicacy. Their dresses are highly absurd, their figures being concealed by long s'tiiT corsets and prodigious hoops,, for those were days when the QVGrdd. infante —ihc oval hoop peculiar to Spain— was infuil blow. The painter wears at his girdle, the Omnipotent key of his office (aposentado-meior}-~~ this key opened every lock in ti»paiaee=sa,ntt on his breast; tho red cross of Santiago. - It is said that Philip IV., who came every day with the Queen to see the picture, remarked, when, it was finished,: that one thing was still wanting, and, taking up a brush, painted the knightly Insignia with his own Royal fingers.” The anniversary of Merton College, the fore most college at Oxford, is the subject of a learned editorial in the Times of the 15th. The Merton College, founded at Oxford, by "Walter de Merton, - boasts tlie oldest and most glorious antiquity of any hr England. “ For many generations,” says the Times, “Merton held the foremost place among colleges, and the brilliant catalogue of hor reputed members includes some of the most illustrious, names.of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It may be doubted whether Duns Seotus and Wy cliffe should be numbered among them, though there are strong reasons for believing that both once resided at Merton but Roger Bacon, Bradwardine, and Occam, have always been claimed as elmini; and in later timos-Idnacre and Bodloy, Hooper and Savile and Harney, adorned this famous * nurserie of great wits.*. It is recorded by Anthony Wood that eighteen archbishops and biShops Issued from Morton within a hundred years of the found er’s death. Century succeeded century, the Wars of .the Roses obliterated the memory of the Barons’ War, and the Great Civil War eclipsed by the mag nitude of its consequences the more sanguinary Wars of the Rose 3 ; bufc the great idea of Walter de Merton still continued to bear fruit.” The Rev. George GilMlan, well-known in the religious and literary world as the author of some eloquent sermons, and some appreciative, but very criticisable critiques of the poets, lately delivered a discourse at his own church, in Dundee, before a Seotch congregation-treating the late celebration of Calvin from the text: “Cali no.man father on the earth.” His opinion of that hardy reformer is remarkable as comiDg from a Scotch divine. Ac cording to a substantial report given in/the Dundee Advertiser, he said:, " : Calvin* no doubt, was a great man, and there was a great amount of truth in his systom. But Calvin wasnotoiily not Christ, but ho had less.of Christ about him : than almost any Christian divine he could name. Ho was harsh, narrow, dogmatic, cold, cruch The system of polity he established while ho lived in Geneva was worse than that which prevail ed in Naples under Bomba. 1 1 was a system of brutal cruelty. Ono James Gruet, for writing some loose verses, was bcheadod. Even little boys and girls wore liable to capital punishment fortrivialoffcnces. pAnd need he name Servotus, a name whioh, despite the one-sided sophistry of Calvin’s defenders, rested like a bloody; blot on that reformer’s brow 1 He ventured to make an assertion—it might 'scorn strange now-j but there was aday coming when it would. appear a mere truism— that Shakspeare, whose tercentenary had been recently Celebrated, was a better representative of the Christian religion than Cal vim The one was a monk iu roality, though not in name •, the: other was a man in tlie broadest sense of the tor in. The one wasa .Tew ofthe stoniest type; the other a Christian or tho noblest .grain. The one found evil in things good; the other a soul of goodness in things evil. The ono wrote Institutes of theology in elegant Batin, which were read only by scholars; the other dramas in plain English, which,were read by the civilized world, and would be road after Calvanism was, to say tao least, no longer, as now, absurdly identified by many with Christianity. Bo spoke then of creeds, and ex pressed Ms delight that Dr. Oandlish had broken ground on that question by. assorting that there were statements in the Confession of Faith opposed at once to scienco and Scripture. fonsidftralious on Artillery. To the Editor of The Press : Sm: The artillery, which is in Etiropo the most formidable weapon that decides large battles, seems In . America, by its little success, to be only the ne cessary accessory of,an army. Oh inquiring into the causes of the nullity of this powerful weapon in this country, it will bo found in the first place that the officers are not instructed, as in Europe, in special schools of artillery, where they have to study for years tlio management of this arm in every particu lar circumstance of its use, as well as the accessory detail that can assure its effect, consequently, the principles of balUsticsaro neglected or misunderstood here, for it is not in a store-house or cotton mill that this knowledge can be acquired. - With the dollars in the pocket and the straps on the shoulder, bravery itself is not able to supply scionce in this branch, This is the reason that in most engagements on land and sea the effect of the cannon amounts to a great deal .of noiso, wasted powder, and lost balls. I shall abstain from the numerous : criticisms that might be made, to arrive sooner to proceedings of important -improvements. : ■ Theprincipal rules of artillery that must be ob served in order to tire with s\iccess,ftrc: Ist. Tho choice of position, to plant tho battory. 2d. The forco of the powder. 3d. The composition of tho cartridges; and 4th. Tho exact distance Trom tho aim. . The aiming is a matter of practico, not only ol these arms in genoral, but also of every purlieu* lar firearm. The first throe points are easily esta blished, but the fourth (the exact distance from the aim), on which depends the result of the shot, re quires, long, difficult operations of trigonome tvv\ 'which are sometimes even impossible beloro the eiioray from want of basis.

To the Editor of The Tress: Sik: Tho elghty-elghth anniversary of our Na tional Independence is rapidly approaching, and still there seems to be no military preparation to justly celebrate that glorious day. Now, I suggest that we have a grand turn-out on this, day, both of veterans and Home Guards; in fact,all the mfll taryorganizations who are willing, and would like to take a part in the celebration on this our Inde pendence day. Letusshowto tho traitors ja th© South that our fesourees have not all run out yet r and that we are ready and willing to sacrifice every rnan, and to contribute errery .dollar, but that no will put down this accursed rebellion. And while Gen. Grant, with bis noble army, will be eclcbratlng thc day before the gates or the doomed city of Rich mond, we, too, will be paying just and proper respect to that day which no true, loyal American citizen, can ever forget. Hoping that some movement will 'soon bo made in regard to this important snbjcct. I remain yours, respectfully, Patiuot Jennas, 1864. ETNASCIAE ASM COMMERCIAL.

In the canals we notice a rise of 1* in Lehigh Navigation, and a decline of ii in Schuylkill Navigation preferred. Gold. cioted at about 142, at least so the brokers say. The fluctuations In gold and exchange have rendered all descriptions of merchandise almost entirely nomi nal. The movement in trade has by consequence bees restricted, yet income articles a fair business has been coneummated, generally at higher prices. Bread stuffs. &e.. have advanced considerably in sympathy with the highergold quotations. The Board, of Directors of the Mineral Oil Oompanr have declared a dividend of one per cant, on the capital stock, payable on and after the 9th of July, free of State tax. C.B. ITright & Co. yesterday purchased for the First National Bank the fine building now occupied by them as a banking house, southeast corner of Third and Chestnut. The matter of the additional taxations has at last taken definite shape. Secretary Chase will send to Congress, probably to-day, says * Washington cor respondent, a communication setting forth the absolute 'necessity.of providing from 875,000.000 to 5100,000,000 more revenue,: the new bill, as passed, failing short that amount of the estimate of J3C0,000,000.. The Secre tary will sngeest that the tax on incomes to becollected under.the old bill shall bo increased t 6 con'oria to the provisions of the now bill; also, that the tax on tobacco petroleum, and particularly on whisky, be largely in creased. The total interest upon the public debt, inclusive of that on the new seventy-five mil lion loan- now: under negotiation, and on the four . hundred. million loan, not yet authori zed by Congress, will not exceed eighty, five mil lions per annum, about two-thirds of which will be payable in gold, the rest in currency. The revenue for the fiscal year ending the ,30th of June will amount in. round figures to $210,000,000. This includes revenua derived from customs, which are-nearly $100,000,000 in gold, the internal revenue, and from miscellaneous sources, which this year yield the large sum of twenty millions. The following table shows the quarterly re ceipts from customs during the last year: Fir?t quarter, over $22,0C0.QC0; second quarter, over $21,000,000; third quarter, over 27,000,000; fourth—not yet accurately as certained—-probably $25,000,000. • Total, $96,€00,000. These figures show that the Treasury Department has not only abundant means to pay the gold interest on the public debt, but will have a handsome surplus.: •: BTOCK EXCHANGE SALES.
