staid behind, and the more protection they receive
from Uncle Sam the more bitterly they talk and work
against him. This class was largely augmented by
the immense population that all at once claimed
foreign protection. Mon who had claimed to be
Americans for years; men who had once pritended
intense contempt for their former sovereigns' soil,
all at once claimed to be foreigners, and
asked the protection of the consul of this or
that little potentate of some miniature foreign
country. They all seem to think that because they
owe no allegiance to the United States they can
speak treason with impunity. Our soldiers are
ealled•moreenaries, the Southerners patriots; the
last are heroes, the first cowards. You ought to
see the pleasure these same chaps enjoy when they
hear of a. Union reverse; how they magnify It into
nn important victory ; how they predict new Con
federatesuccesses ; how they speak with. holy reve
rence of every Confederate general and official, and
how they sneer at and belittle everything that is re
lated to tile Union and our cause. Youshould have
seen the beaming faces and sparkling oyes, when,
some time ago, some sixor eight Government vessels
were burned at the levee. The only gratification
they gave theloyal man was when they began to run
like a flock of sheep, hearing that one of the burn
ing steamers had ammunition on board. When only
one shell bursted, how the cowards ran for safety
into every holelhey could find ! The large water
pipes that lay on the levee were stuffed full of.
Southern sympathizers. General Butler knew what
to think of these fellows, and he understood-how to
handle them. .General Banks is too easy. Ile
wishes to conciliate, and he loses control over them.
Let us hope that his patience will, some day, be ex
hausted.
To these you must add the immense Influx of He
brews and speculating Copperheads. That these
sort of men suffer a perplexing want of patriotism
everybody knows who has studied our Washington
and Alexandria incident populations, or the large
stock of sutlers In the armies of the United States.
There aro hardly more than one or two of the foreign.
consuls here that show the least sympathy with the
North, If you except the Austrian consul.•
Yesterday General Banks Issued an order con
cerning consignments of gold, which, if strictly
carried out, will eradicate a fundamental evil. It
orders that all consignments, unless specially or
dered by the Government, must be deposited with
the assistant treasurer here. It is well known to
everybody that thousands of dollars of gold Were
continually sent into the Confederacy. Not one
tenth of all the gold that comes here is needed for
the legitimate trade df New Orleans or loyal Loutsi
' ana. It all goes to Dizie. The trade in Confederate
scrip and bonds is just as lively a Irate here as if
• New Orleans were still in the Confederacy. It is
more profitable too than any other trade. This is
one of the reasons why loyal men get disgusted_ at
the state of things hero. The more loyal a man is
the more impediments ho meets. The man that

betray the country tvvhich he owes filthy in order
to attain a selfish object—the man that owes- no al
legiance to the Government, and whose heart is
with the (enemy—is the man that makes money
here. Soon may the time come when General -
Banks will look at this matter also. Of
course, orders are of little account If they are
not executed by strong • hands. Delays In doing
right are dangerous with individuals, but a hundred
times more so when they obtain in public matters.
Let us hope.
The Constitutional Coneention. is still busy talk
ing. I: thought that llnrisburg, Albany, and
Washington, were great in these things, but New
Orleans beats them all.
Of the immense negro procession you, no doubt,
have already hoard. It was a grand sight. Tens
qi thousands of freed negroes paraded the streets in
a stylawhich many a white procession might well
endeavor to imitate. There was no drunkenness,
noise, nor tumult. Of course, it was a horrible
sight for the "would-be barons" of the South, the
fernier owners and task-masters of the black chat
tels. Time will also cure this wound of the South
ern mind, and give this despised and degraded race
their proper position in the human family.
As regards military matters there is little to re
port. Unusual quietness reigns everywhere. Our
military directors seem very busy; Gen. Chnby is
continually at work. His orders, sp far, are excel
lent, and remedy many evils under which the mili
tary department of the Gulf has suffered. The im
mense amount of luggage and transportation, that
made the movements : of our army so . clumsy, diffi
cult, and hazardous, received special attention in
his General Order No. 4.
He is preparing his army for defensive. and offen
sive service with the greatest possible speed, andel
. though It is not prudent to insinuate or say anything
more for the present, this much-let me say, that the
Trans-Mississippi Division has not finished the cam
paign of 1804, but will furnish a new leaf of history
ere many weeks pass. May they add to the glory
of Grant and Sherman. :
. The want of a submarine telegraph to New Or
leans has isolated us somewhat.
Rumors make up the staple of our news, but if ac
• turd news arrives, the eagerness with which the pa
pers are sought for defies : description.
The renomination of President Lincoln, and the
nomination of Andy Johnson for Vice President,
glve universal satisfaction to all loyal meritiNlON.

To the Editor of The Press :
Sin :. The perusal of a letter from a soldier In the
Army. of the Potomac, announcing to a wife the
death of her husband, has furnished us with a proof
of the sympathy existing between our soldiers. The
letter was a true soldier's letter—plain, brief, ear
nest, full of feeling. The dead soldier—Corp. As.sx-
ANDY.R MoDorlarm, of the. 12th Pennsylvania, Re
serves—was a veterart of three years. But not content
with so long a Separation from friends, and constant
oxposuro to death in Its suddenest and most violent
form, he nobly resolved that having put his hand to
the plough, he should not look back nntil the work
was done—the harvest of victory gathered. A few
days before his death, he wrote a fervent, hopeful
letter to his wife, in this city, and his every expres
sion showed how little he dreamed that the fate he
deplored for others was so soon to be his own. But
he fell fighting before Petersburg. And hero we see
the latent sympathy between soldier comrades
developed in its beet and highest phase. Be fell, but
dying, his comrades did not forgot him. Tenderly
they gathered all the little things that are such pre
cious relies in the eyes of those to whom he is near
and dear, and sent them to assuage in part the grief
the loving and bereaved parent must fool. They
buried him, too, carefully marking his resting place,
that when pence shall come again his bones might
be brought to rest at home in a friendlier soil.
Row noble this is I How honorable to the heart
that dictated, the will that executed, these little yet •
priceless benevolences. This little episode of ten
derness has boon enacted and re-enacted thousands
of times during this war—is being enacted now, and
will continue. What freopeople need fear danger
'to their lives or liberties from asoldiery that every
day practices these virtues, which those who decry
and defame them only preach 1 When the war is
over our brave men will return untainted by the
scenes of carnage. they have witnessed, to practice
in private lifethegood works they have not forgotten
mid the danger of the camp and field. J. B.'S.

THE PRESIDENCY.
The Independent in Answer to Wendell
Phillip:4.
The Now York independent for June 30th reviews
the points el Mr. Wendell Phillips' recent letter,
and, In its own way, very ably answers all. This
reply is introduced with a tribute to Mr. Phillips'
groat Intelligence and honesty, and is mainly as fol
lows, Want of Space compoiling its condensation:
I. Mr. Phillips objects to our styling the Cleve
land Convention "unrepresentative." We repeat
the word. The delegates—all of whom were with
out credentiale, and all wit houtconstituencies,num
bored only 150, not half tilling the hall ; a handful
or rabbits in a barn. Ono of the best-known dele
gates said to a friend that "it was the smallest and
meanest political convention ho had ever known."
We are far from despising' a sinall band of good
men ; but, to our personal knowledge, several of the
better-minded managers of the movement have be-
Come surprised at, deceived by, and disgusted with
the designs of the remainder.
11. "No plain," he says, "could be found at Bal
timore for Hobert Small." Well, Robert Small was
not there ; he was In .Carolina. But, luta he pre
sented himself' as allelegate, ho would have been
rightlidly rejected ; not because of his black skin,
but because the only pert of :iouth Carolina now
under the flag Is a slender string of beads called the
Sea Islands, not aninch of the mainland, but only
a few mumps broken elf the cake.
111. Wo grant the indirectness of the Baltimore
resolution concerning the .Cabinet;, we grant, if
necessary, its unmanliness; wo believe in calling a
spade a spade, and a Blair a Blair. But, with all
its well-addict] aimlessness it morally binds the Pre
sident to make changes in 'his Cabinet. That resolu
tion MS' fired at two targets, Mr. Blair and Mr.
Seward, those two St. Sebastlans, pierced of many
arrows, and slowly dying of their wounds. A mem
ber of the committee on resolutions told us that,
though 'euphemisms wore put before the public,
there was ne . snariag.of plain talk In the committee
room.
IV. Our friend condemns Baltimore for its Innis
. sten to press confiscation, and praises Cleveland be
cause It declared for confiscation. But has he for
gotten that air. Fremont, in lils letter of accept
ance, expressly repudiated this very confiscation
resolution ? "I don't think it," says Mr. Fremont,
"a measure of sound policy." 'We therefore call
upon Mr. Phillips to visit upon Mr. Fremont as
Mbeit indignation for this delinquency as ho has
visited upon Alr. Lincoln. This would be what the
platform calla confiscation, "a measure of justice!"
V. The Cleveland managers, ho.clahns, made the
first suggestion. of a constitutional amendment.
This is not trues. We give a counter-statement. At
the decade meeting of the American Anti-Slavery
Society, ip.Philatlelphia in December of last year,
a resolution, drawn by a 'United States Senator, was
unanimously passed, demanding the (intendment,
six mouths begirt the Cleveland Convention I On
the Bth ofitapril; this year, by an overwhelmin veto
of 38 to o, , the tinned States Senate passed a lull for
the amendment—dearly two months before! It is,
thereforeia great unfairness in Mr. Phillips to say
of the Cleveland Convention that "from them Con
gress hollowed the idea I"
VI. Mf:Phiiiips points a spear at arbitrary ar
rests.. But, until this letter, we never before beard
him refer' to arbitrary arrests without vindicating
them—never once; Calling them dangerous, he hits
also called them necessary. In our own hearing, Ito
has repeatedly some beyond our own assent on this
subject. In May the Cleveland Convention flames
forth with indignation against arbitrary arrests,
but in the very same month Mr. Phillips spoke in
Dr. Cheever's church as follows:
" Well did Seward say to Lord Lyons. '1 but
ring a bell on this tide, and, unchallenged, 1 put In
prison a New Englander ; I ring another one on
that., and, equallyleresponsible consign a citizen of
Ohio to a dungeon? No such.' despotism this side
the wall of China. KtCIaSSAILY—INEVITAIILe—NOT
TO BE fOIYND YAVLT WITII in the death-grapple
• with rebottle's," -
VII. Baltimore, he argues, admitted doubtful
States to its floor: True, and , wo regret their ad
mission. We agreed with Thaddeus Stevens, who
protested on the spot. But had the Cleveland Con
vention ao delegates from doubtful States 'I Did it
shut its' ]l is , ors upon any ono of those States 1 If the
delegati n admitted to Baltimore from Tennessee
had kno ed instead at Cleveland, does Mr. Phillips
think they Would have been rejected? No', lie
knows tiat the Cleveland managers would have
paid theevening expenses of that delegation all
the way rout,f
the Cumberland Mountains to Lake
Erie, an ,home again, and a gratuity besides—aim
ply to luttos bad them for five minutes on the floor !
Has Mr.phillips rgeolved new light concerning the
questionable State° Certainly wo never have un
dustpan:dm as being a stickler for holding them
as territ
les or provinces .. "If you want to make
the proclamation effective," said lie, last month,
"you mast find some means of making Slates."
And whit does he now mean by "Mr. Lincoln's
usurped Veneer of reconstruction 7" It was only In.
May tha; he eaiii, " I accept wills gratitude the first
step that the Administration made in December to
ward reconstruction!"
VIII. We charged the- Cleveland platform with
falsely Desertingp, that "Slavish' is virtually destroy
ed" Ts this charge Mr. Phillips makes no reply.
But is be willing to commit himself to this false as
sertion ) Did he norsay in. May, "To my own mind
the slave's fate is yet an uncertainty I" Did he not
• say that !‘ so long as slarery was tolerated, or the
. Government refused to repeal the Fugitive Slave
.law, the oovenantswith death had not been annul
led 1" But when the - Cleveland Convention met,
the Fugitive Slave law had not been repealed ; the
House had refused to Join the Senate for a prohibi
tory a meadment ?the Briesident's Proclamation was
then nut it still is, in Mr. Phillips' view) a piece of
waste paper, if the Supreme Court so plenae; the
Federal Government was then (as it still is, in Mr.
Phillime-aiewthe Legal holder of amillion slaves •
su ss _s__Ael or,snata its. ticat e..sd....hpasgskidesid.
...L ...08611,
men . , agreed to say t. shivery was dead !
IX. We charged that Cleveland was° mere caucus •
to Chicago; that its. managers are now groping
in secret to lay their hands, by designed accident,
into the palms of Copperheads for a league of fel
lowship against the great party of the Union. This
charge Mr. Phillips partially meets, but partially
avoids. Ho has come to a sudden good opinion of
the Democratic party ! How long will he hold it I
Will he who criticises the little' virtue of Republi
cans find greater in Democrats? "1 know the na
ture of .politielans," says'hes "how little to be
trusted." But he does not know the nature of De
mocratic politicians, it be thinks ho can trust into
their hands the cause of the slave I As George
Canning said in Parliament of the proposal to put
the new legislation for freedom into the hands of
the old supporters of slavery, ," While human na
ture remains the same, they can never be trusted
with it I If Mr. Phillips seeks any political
alliance, his proper place is with the party which
for eight years has stood for,freedoin, and not
with its enemy that stood then and stands yet for
slavery !
Ono of his best friends in this city—a noble and
unspotted lawyer—addressed to us a few days ago
these words: ' The Fremont meetings In.my district
are held in the same grog-shop out of which, last
summer, issued the rioters who set fire to my house ;
the audiences are the same persons ; and the speak
ern are well-known Copperheads P! is Mr. Phillips
willing to stay joined to this geng 1 At the groat
Fremont ratifioation meeting at Cooper Institute,
on Monday nights wherellir.Phillips was advertised
to speak (and where oonsequently wo. were present
to hear), the chief demonstrations were boisterous
cheers I'or McClellan ! Would Mr. Phillips, had ho
bean present, been pleased with the sound 1 Dr.
l3rewnson, one of the speakers, said that for Presi
dent he would prefer Vallandighaus, Horatio Sey
mour or Fernando Wood to Mr . Lincoln.! Will Mr.
Phillips say amen? Mr. Claiborne, of Missend, an
other speaker—one of the delegates to Chicago!—
said, "Give us a man who is not obnoxious to the
South, so that we can form a bridge on which they
can come back I" 'Will Mr. Phillips walk that road
to a compromise? John Cochrane, candidate for the
Vice Presidency, speaking at the same meeting, al
luded with pleasure to'the eimal cheers for Fremont
and McClellan, and said that these men wore "twin
cherries on one stalk I" • :
• X. Mr. Phillips loons on a broken rood—the high
anttslavery purpose of the Cleveland movement.
"The ohlefgem of its crown, " says ho, "is absolute
equality before the law." But what is absolute
equality before the law so long as slavery exists 1 It
is an equality for freemen, not for slaves—the old
limited equality which before existed, nothing more.
_Look at it ! A million slaves are still legally held'
in bonds; the Cleveland platform cloaks this fact
with a pretence that slavery is dead, and then asks
for equality before the law ;.that is to say, taking
care to omit from its view the very pawns far inae/n
Mr. Phillips demands equality, it bravely asks for an
equality which heretofore has existed! Now, we would
be glad if a great political party could go before the
country on the high issue of giving every black man
. a votes but the country is not ready for such an Is
sue. On tho 4th of July,_lBol, at Framingham,
Muss. Dlr. Phillips, in silltaking. of the clamors
whiciAbo Government then negan to hear concern
ing a policy of Emancipation, sold : "Ir Waal.: UT-
Tag WON TO AN/WU:VIM IT NW." So, too,
if the
next election were to turn.upen the question of giv
ing every black man a vote, the Copperheads would
achieve the next Administration. If the country
were ready for such au issue, the Baltimore Conven
tion would have made It. The Cleveland Convention
has not made it, and its managers will not make it.
Any man who knows the running of the Cleveland
movement laughs at the idea that Fremont and Coch
rane are fighting a battle forthosake of the negro's
right to. ote..
At the Monday ratification meeting not a word
was said in the moieties's concerning the rights of
the negro. The Only man who. made any approach
to an antielavery utterance Was Dr. Brownson.
John Cochrane, who did not once so far forget him
self as to name the negro, was complimented at the.
close of speech by hlr. Phillips' old friend, Capt.
Isaiah Bynders, of the Empire Club! "I can
• hardly conceive," writes Mr: Phillips, "of your
preferring Baltimore, asking half a loaf, to Cleve
land, asking esthete loaf." We-prefer tho half loaf
of Baltimore, because it is bread) we reject the
whole loaf of Cleveland, because it is a stone.
ZWATOOMEILY DLAIIIL TO WILLIAM LLOYD !lAMBI
a Mr .
The Liberator of this week publishes the follow
ing letter from Postmaster General Blair, addroSsed
to Mr. Garrison
William Lloyd Garrison, Esq., Boston, Mass.:
Dt:AR Sln: Inm much gratifiedio perceive, by
an extract from a recent speersh of yours, published
in Use Boston CommonteeaUh, that you aro sensible
of theinjustice of the attacks made on me by the
opponents of the President. This induces me to say
that you are altogether right in discrediting the
statement that I had "bought an interest in the
Baltimore Clipper for the purpose (among other
things) of preventing emancipation in; Maryland:"
The solo object of my negotiations with the proprie
tors Of that journal was to secure a press to advo
mac emancipation in a city what's, at the time my
negotiations began, we had no such advocate. The.
espousal of our cause, afterwards, by the able edi
tor of the Baltimore American, superseded, in a
great measure, the necessity for my negotiations
with the Clipper, and they wore for that reason dis
continued. .
I am gratified also to see that you do not consider.
a difference of opinion on the question of whether
' the races must be separated after otnancipation a
sufficient reason for division among friends of free
dom before we have effected emancipation. "The
Blain" as they are now distinguished.. for denunol
. alien, have been in some degree the pioneers of ono
scheme of emmteipation, as you have boon of an
other, at the North ; schemes which differ as to the
manner by which it was proposed. to.accomplish and
maintain emancipation. lou thought lt possibly
might be necessary to dissolve the Union to obtain
etnancipetion ; we believed it Gould only be accoin
pifsbed by the force of the Union, and, therefore.
were fur the Union for the sake of emancipation it
self,as well as for ovary other reason. lea think
freedon! and equality.possible for masses of blacks
and whites in tho same community; wo think all
history proves the contrary.
But, whilst those are Important differences, we
have one common object-emancipation--end until
that is accomplished, we do not intend to seParato
ourselves from the great body of the friends of the
cause. 'Wo have, without regard to consequences,
assisted to reach tho earliest and most absolute tri
umph of the cause. Wo dissented oven tram the re
peal .of Fromont's proclamation, although pro
nounced in derogation of the Prosiderd's dignity
and aut s lierity, and from it selfish motive. The po
sition bo'has now taken proves lie is ready to snarl
lice the cause, which he pretended prompted it, to
reach the real. object of his zeal ; and we, in com
mon with the moss of the people, have learned to
appreciate the wiser and surer policy of the head of
the Government, who, in arresting the unauthorized
step or a Subordinate, loft it to time and public
opinion to reveal and announce the necessity which
alone could justify the net.
Ac respects the attempt to turn me out Of the (Ja.-

Andrew Johnson's Mother—A Sland43r.
The following letter, from a loyal East Tennes
sean, appears In the Binghamton (N. Y.) Republi

dence, but it is just as well to have It corrected:
"Arrow, N. Y., Juno 28.
"Mn. EDITOR: I notice in your paper.of the 27th

effect that Andy Johnson had abandoned his poor
old mother, and that %be is traversing the streets of
PhiladelplAa with a larsket on her arm, selling tripe
for a living.'
"I ask the privilege of adding my testimony to
the lalsity of this charge. Being a native of the
same county (Greene, karst Tennessee), and having
lived in the same town (Greenville), in which Go
vernor Johnson resided, and where his mother died
and was burled, I know whereof I speak:. To my
knowledge, old Mrs. Johnson livedin her son's fami
ly for many years before her death.
"I witnessed her burial. She lies in the village
grave yard. Many marks of tender regard are now
to be seen around her sleeping remains. an aspen
tree, brought when a mere slip from Washington
fifty, by her son, and, no doubt, planted by his own
band, grows at the bead of her grave. The rose and
the myrtle bloom at her side.
"It is true that, previous to her residence .with
her son, al* was poor, but loved and respected by
all who knew her, particularly by the young. Welt
do 1 remember, when a Mere boy, going with other
little children to the old lady's humble dweliingand
being charmed with her oft-repeated stories.
"Governor Johnson has inherited from his re

the distinguished position he now occupies, TIE.: an
unusual strength of native talent, sound common

The Late Terrible Accident on the Quo-
bee Bnilrond.
The Canada papers give interesting details of the
late accident on the Quebec Railroad, near St.
Claire, by which more than eighty lives wore lost.
It seems that the train was one containing emi
grants to the West, who had a few days before ar
rived from Germany. They were comprised princi
pally of •Swesies, Danes, Bohemians, Poles, Prus
sians, Austrians, and a few Italians. The train -
included eleven ears and the engine. The bridge
through which it fell was about fifty feet high, tea
wide, and 200 long, and spanned the Richelieu
The bridge was open to allow a steamer, with six
barges in tow, to pass through. The usual red light,
the signal of danger,was burning, but the engineer,
by some unexplained rashness, rushed his train to
the bridge and into the river. The immense falling
weight struck the fifth barge of the tow, sinking it.
The lights in the oars were all out when the train
went down into the abyss, and imagination only can
picture the terriblescene which must have occurred
In them when the poor fated ones found themselves
descending swiftly and suddenly. The train was
soon ono universal pile of fragments, resting on the
submerged bridge. Had it fallen directly •
Into the
water, to the number of deaths caused by the smash
ing of the cars must have been added avast number
of drowned. All the barges in tow of the steamer
bad passed except two. Those on the bare actually
passing through the uneis.-saw the train coining,
knew what must happen, and ramping on the barge
behind saved their lives. The locomotive now lies
submerged in the water out of sig%t. The appear
ance presented by the wreck it is impossible to de

A correspondent, writing of the appearance of some
of the dead when they were taken from the ruins,
says
' , Just now the body of an old gray-haired man,
respectably attired, has been taken out. The life
less hand still grasps a large long-handled china
pipe. A quarter of an Lour ago, a lad of 15 was
taken out, apparently lifeless, his head covered with
blood, and presenting a frightful spectacle. On re
storatives being applied. he was found to be not
only alive, but very slightly injured. The blood with
which he was covered was that of his mother, beside
whose alpse he had been lying in the wreck for ten
hours. `li• 'thin the last few minutes the bodies of
two innocent babes, of two or three years, have been

Tun GENERAL:inn` Or Gr...s.KT.-,Tho London
Globe thus pointedly answers the criticisms of the
Times on the military ability of General Grant:
'On the whole, Grant has succeeded so far in ful
fillimehis implied promise to fight it out on tho line
from the Rapidan to Richmond, a lino he has con
sistently followed from the beginning. To say, as a
Richmond journal and Its echoes say : that he might ,
have landed his army on the Pamunkey Instead of
moving overland, is simply to say that Oeneral Lee
is a fool. It would be intereating to know how Ge
neral Grant was to withdraw - his army from the
Culpeper country, and embark it, without the know
ledge of General Leo, and more interesting to know
whether General Leo would have remained on Mine
Run in quiet contemplation, or would have taken
some steps to thwart the Federal plan. As to final;
ly bringing his army into the Peninsula, it is only by
a license of language that the countries immediately
round Richmond can be described as part of the Pe
ninsula ; but if they be so described then any assail
ant of Richmond, unless he operate south of the
James, must work In the Peninsula. Grunt's cam
paign Is entirely different from McClellan's ; it was
based on a different principle, and it has been worked
out in a different manner. The only likeness be
tween them lies in the fact that the object of both
cases is the same. •
A PLEAS/C . /4T PLacs.—One or twe of the Chicago
journals are just now discoursing upon the carnival
or orlme in that city. Crime, they say is increasing
every day. Pickpockets are dOing a most thriving
business in the most public places. Railway de
pots appear to be the most favorable spot for opera
ting, and the rascals in many Instances have been
quite successful. Nearly Mil persons of both sexes
have reported losses, greater or less, at the police
headquarters, within the past four days.
'dance Men. too, taking advantage of the present
state of affairs have been plying • their vocation.
without let or hindrance, while burglars are peculi
arly InduStions. A pleasant state of things truly.

Sothern, havingeomparatively failed In the Da

market Theatre In a farce by Byron, the burlesque
writer,oalled "Dundreary alluded and Done For,"
which is thusus . deseribed by the Morning Peat :
" Dundroary is located in one of the prettiest of
rural villas, with all requisite appliances of person
al comfort ; yet tribulations assail hink on. every
side. There Is no end to the worry tliatillatriraony
has brought upon him..ills Goorglana, now trans
formed into Lady Dundreary, has east allegiance to

chronic rebellion. His mother-In-law, now Lady Ed

times, deoma herself an oracle mall matters relating
to the management of husbands—ls Invariably the
leader of the revolt. In that unamlable character.
she Is perpetually Instigating, both her daughter and
her servants to deeds of the most audacious insubor

DRIVES AROUND DRILADET.PRIA
There is probably no city in the Northern States
which can boast of such variety and beauty of sur
rounding scenery, such almost Innumerable speci
mens of trees, such picturesque streams, such beau
tiful waterfalls, and such excellent roads, as our
own loved city of Philadelphia. To describe them
all would at this time ho impracticable, and we will
be obliged to satisfy oniselverwith the description
of one of the numerous drives around our city, over
which we recently had the pleasure of passing. Ri
d ng along west Green street, we are flanked °neither
side with almost innumerable beds of roses, hello
tropes,jessa mines, and other rare plants, all blushing
with their own loveliness; here, also; in many places
Art and nature combined have placed beautiful foun
tains, whose drops of crystal refresh and beautify
everything around, and we are compelled to say
that nothing could be more lovely. Passing still
through Green street, we arrive at the eastern en
trance of our beautiful Park. Here We are refreshed
by the appearance of an immense fountain, whose
six streams, passing in different directions and form
ing beautillil curved lines, excel even pyrotechnic
display. The high hill upon which the reservoir is
built Is on our left, and covered, as It is, with fresh
green grass, as well as numerous trees of many
varieties, and traversed by clean gravel walks, is of
itself a picture of beauty. The Schuylkill river,
whose praises have bean sung time and again, whose
history is full of romance, and whose appearance
warrants it all, appears in all its beauty before us.
Without . saying any more about it, we proceed on
our way. Continuing through the Park towards the
Reading Railroad, we come to the famous mineral
water spring. This Is covered with a beautiful Iron
arbor, anti tho spring is reached by stepping down
several steps of granite. Tho water is strongly
tinctured with iron, is quite, wholesome, and
said to be good for consumptives. Arriving
at the top of the bill we have a fiue
view all over the Park. The mansion is now
surrounded by a large iron arbor and every accom
modation for visitors is here. On the banks of the
ricer below are the beautiful buildings of the Paci
fic, Bachelor, Quaker City, and other barge clubs,
and the large and elegant building of the Philadel
phia Skating Club and Humane Society, widen
during the few years of its existence has saved num
bers ol lives. Crossing Girard avenue bridge, and
proceeding along the Fall's road, we see stretched
out before us, In all their luxuriant splendor, fields
of waving grain, green pastures and comfortable
farm houses. On the river side, about a mile
from the bridge, is the cottage of Tom Moore,
In which was written his "Ode to the Schuyl
kill" and other poems. Having passed Colum
bia Bridge, we are soon opposite to Laurel Hill
Cemetery r; which reaches down to the rive and
whose variety of landscape is hard to excel. On an
extreme point of the river, at the top of a high rock,
is the monument erected to the memory of the late
lion. Robert T. Conrad, once Judge in the'Courts
of Con moo Pleas and Quarter Sessions of this
county, afterwards elected Mayor of the city, and
known as a great champion of temperance. It
was he who compelled tile hotels of the city to
close on Sundays, and whose order was not a
matter of form or fancy, but, of fact. Ho also wrote
the play "Tack Cade," of which, we believe, Edwin
Forresthas purchased the copy weight. "Spartacus"
is also a work of Judge Conrad. Ho also is the au
thor of a. number of excellent poems. His memory
will be as enduring as the rock upon which stands
his monument. Having crossed the Falls' bridge,
we soon arrive at the indescribably beautiful Wissa
hickon. lVe will not attempt to describe the great
natural beauty along and through this beautiful
stream. Painters have dose it some justice, and
poets, too; we are neither painter nor poet.and.will
not attempt to do so. Situate as it is in a valley, and
enclosed on both Sides by hills covered with a wilder
ness of trees, whose tops seem to touch the clouds,
we are lost In wonder and admiration, ELL( pause to
exercise our emotions. The log cabin on the east
hank of the river, with Its bean And .eagles, owls,
Sc., is still an attraction. We should say its bear,
for we are informed that ono of them was poisoned a
few days ago by a person who had been foolish
enough to allow himself lobe embraced by the affec
tionate beast. In revenge it is said the person poi
soned the animal: Too much care cannot bo taken
by visitors of these animals. Not long ago a man
lost his hand by irritating the boar that is now at
this place. On the opposite bank of the stream is
" Thejiermitage ~ a beautiful and shaded spot re
sortecflo by excursionists and others. The Wissa
hickon continues for some miles in unbroken splen
dor. A ride to - Valley Green, a distance of ten
miles from the city and back, is one of the most
pleasant near Philadelphia.

TERRIBLE STORM IN TILE TWEN - TY-FOURTH
waRD--SINOULAR. OCCURRENCES.
On Friday afternoon a singular and severe storm
of wind, rain, hail, thunder, and lightning, visited
the northwestern section of the Twenty-fourth ward.
The clouds had been lowering all day and there was
an occasional shower of rain. About five o'clock
the wind that had prevailed more or less- during.
the day completely ceased, and not a breath of air
disturbed or refreshed anything. Suddenly, how:
ever, the clouds which had been collecting in the.
north and south seemed to•meet and tho storm be
gan In terrible violence.
Trees were torn up by the roots, and prostrated
across the railway track leading to Hestonville.
Hailstones fell in great quantities, some of them
as large as hens' eggs. One hailstone. measured
2,;y. Inches In length, and over an inch in, thickness.
It was estimated that from ono thousand to twelve
hundred chickens were killed by this shower of hail.
Fences were broken, and rails scattered in• the
track of the tornado. Barns and stables were un
roofed, and chimneys removed.
In the height of the storin.a faneral.was proceed
ing to the Cathedral Cemetery. number ol the
carriages were overturned in a moment ; one was
roiled over t , and much broken. A. short distance
from the cemetery about forty head of cattle were
In a field. They became perfectly panic stricken,
and one or two of them were gored. The rain came
down In great sheets, completely inundating the
surface, and speedily filling up the shallow places,
though it did not last long. enough-to. dangerously
aweltthe many streams in that section of...the city
tributary to the Schuylkill.
Several large hickory trees In. Jones' woods were
taken up by the roots and reduced to cord wool]. There
may have been other scenes of a similar nature in
that part of the city. The track of the storm seemed
to extend east of Norristown to• near tho Cathe
dral Cemetery, and probably. spent its force-in the
teeming and beautiful valley in Montgomery county.
During the storm the lightningstruok the hotel of
William Moore, at Hestonville, and demolished
some of the furniture in theperier. It, then passed.
Into the basement, and scattered the things around
in great _mansion. Fortunately no one was in.
jured.
The country store of W. Dolman, not fax distant,
had a visitor In the shape of a thunderbolt, that split
the window-sill and tired theliouse. Nobody hurt.
Flames speedily extinguished..
Another curious' effect of the storm was that the
window glass of some of the passenger railroad cars
was smashed to.atoms.
Persons who wore in the track of the storm were.
lifted from their foot and let down again without In
jury. They say that for a Cow momenta they felt as
if their breath had left their bodies.
'rho storm was a quarter-of a mile wide, but its
length could not be definitely - ascertained. /.barn
door, two Inches thick, having heavy iron hinges on
It, was carried.nearly luttra mile. It fell in acorn
field, or rather In a 11Old where corn was growlngte
fore the storm came on.
So severo an elemental 'warfare had. not taken
place in that section within the memory Of the'' , old
est inhabitant."

The most remarkable feature• of the market was then
sudden advance in Obvernment securities, whit• all
others either receded or were stationary. The five
twenty loan, which sold en Friday at 102, was quoted
on Saturday eveningat This indicates* return'
to confidence somewhat ahaken by the reaignation of
Sir. Chase. So high was that gentleman held in she es
timation of the commercial csamonnity that it was the
general conviction that no other equally suited for the
position could be named by the-President, and if named:
there was doubt whether the new man, seeing what
an amount of labor he would be called. upon to
perform, would accept of the appointment. It wag,
therefore, a subject of congratulation among the shrew
dest of our merchants that Mr. Fessenden Indicated. on
Saturday, hie acceptance or the vacated Secretaryship.
The views of the new Secretary are raid to accord gene
rally with those held by Mr. Chase. As chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee he has recommended and ad
vocated the adoption of all tht prominent financial mea
sures of the treasury. It is not expected, therefore.
that Mr. Fessenden_ will inaugurate any radical
changes in finance. Any change at this pecu
liar juncture might be productive of great evil.
The machinery is so vast and complicated as to re
quire the most delicate management, and it could have
fallen to-no better superintendence than Mr. lessen
den's. We believe the new Secretary to be opposed to.
the gold bill, though his absence from the Senate at the
time of the repeal of that measure leaves no without
definite information on the subject. The financial situ
ation genemliv Is more hopeful.. and as time alms and
projects of the new administration develop themselves,
it is generally believed confidence will grow stronger.
Tice little animosity that existed among some of the
State Bankrtowards Mr. Chase, we hope will now be
entirely dissipated. A cordial co-operation ought toes- .
let between the Treasury Department and the reliable
State Banks, which have so aignally aided. the Govern
ment since the opening of the war.
We learn that the Berke and Chester Railroad, to naa
from Birdsboro' to Downington, is already commenced.
The road will connect with the Reading Railroad by &
bridge over the Schuylkill some fifty yards or so above
the present bridge. The line will pass up Ray creek
valley, and connect at ilownitigton with a road lending
to New Castle. on the Delaware. As the river at that
point is never frozen over In the severest season, a large
amount of coal will no doubt dad Its way to market
over this new road, especially during the White, months.
The stockholders are called to meet at Birdsboro' on the
6th of Jtiiv. to organize the company by the election of
a president and eight directors, to serve until others are
chosen. •
The quantity of coal sent by railroad from Pottsville
last week, according to the Kilter's, Joternal, *ars
05; by canal. .99,541; for the week,. lagnAgt,
against 60,745 tone for the corresponding week last year.
There was a suspension of the trade both by canal and.
railroad for the corresponding week last year, for seve
ral days, which accounts for the great discrepancy in.
the supply.
The quantity sent from this region this week iv
larger than it ever has beed for a single week since the
commencement of the trade. The proposed increa s e in
the rates of toll, &e., on the lot instant, largely stimu
lated the trade.
The rates of toll and transportation on railroad an&
canal Were again advanced on the let tad_ oo eta. Th e
rates now are as follows:

From Port Carbon $3 09 et 3
From Monnt Carbon 9 07 3 17
From Schuylkill haven 300 310
Freights from Richmond to New Pork, .1.85.
These rates make the charge a shade jem. than 3'
cents '5 ton '5 mile. The limit in the charter. we be

like gold, up to the limit.

The clip of wool in Michigan this seasomis said. to be

being an increase in fourteen years of something over
100:00,E00 pounds. This State Is third in wool produc
tion, though in the quality of the staple it ranks first.
