The unprecedented and constantly-lin:Teasing patron age of this institittion has rendered it necessary to great ly extend its accommodations and facilities for commer cial instruction, During the past year, especially the autumn and Winter months, the spacious apartments at the S. B. corner of SEVENTH and CHESTNUT .streets were found quiet inadequate to accommodate the large ease of young,ffien and ladies who desired to avail them selves of the L044080)8 ofa PRACTICAL COhl KUBOTA'. INSTITUTION,. Accordingly, and to meet the growing demand for. thitroughlpeducated young men to enter Upon the Aside of usefulness and honor in the'business community, the proprietors have added to the rooms previonely occupied the entire third and upper story of the Assembly Building, S. W. corner of CHESTNUT and TENTH Streets, Which is being furnished with the hest and most approved style of school and equating house furniture, and will be opened for the reception of students on thenth of-September next. These new and spacious apartments, in point of eligi bility, capacity, and convenience, and facilities for ven tilation andlight, are all that could be desired. In fact, they are not excelled by any room used for thiermrpose In the United States. They cover an area of 31by gal feet, and their admira ble construction admits of sidasellication which secures the moat efficient instruction in all the departments. The Business Department of the College has been or ganized upon a basis equal, and in many respects supe rior, to anything of the hind in the country, and will be thoroughly administered. The point .almed at in this department is not to Present a novel exhibition, which all have the outward mining of business, but to give .480 to such transactions ' and in soak manner and or der, will produce the beet and most approved forms Of business record, and to illistrate snob 'oharasteristics of trs,de. aremesessary to a thorough business train ing. In short, it is determined to make this the model and leading college, worthy alike of the great matron°• lie in which it is situated, and of the great enterprise of %shish it forms a. part.

GETTYSBURG, August 110884. Business connected with the Lutheran Institutions has called me to this place, OW and forever memo rable in our country's historic annals. Before leav ing home, on aim May 'morning list, running my eye hastily over' the captions of The Press, that an nounced the war nova, almost the first one on which , it rested was this : "The. rebels advancing in strong. force on Getly . sburg I" Not a very comfortable place of, intelligence, under the eir,oumstances, you will admit. Duty, however, urged me. forward ; but not until I tad first relieved . myself of all valuables, lest they might fall into rebel hands. So far as con cerns myself, had they come 'for plunder; in fisher man's phrase, they would have made a "tooter haul.,, We reached here, however, without having encountered a Kittery rebel, nor could we hear of any In 0r near the town. Among the ixtilltary stationed here lea Company, numbering about forty, of volunteer scouts, all from Philadelphia. They are encamped in an adjacent wood, and are a fine body of men. They are mostly from' the Fifteenth ward, and 'ate commanded by Capt. R. M. EMUS, formetly connectedwith the Pennsylvania Railroad, and member of our Common Councils. These men labor without_ pay, and have equipped themselves, including their horses, their own expense 1 They have been, hete . about . three weeks,:and have been rendering good Service, in arresting rebel spies and stragglers, and also a few Federal deserters. Among other good deeds of these scouts, is t he recent oar. tnre, near Emmettsburg, of a disti n guished rebel spy, named James H. Stuart,' said to be a bro ther of the cavalry commander, General J. H. 8., Stuart, killed at Spottsylvania. He, together With a splendid horse and equipments, was captured by Sergeant Charles King, of the Eighteenth ward, Kensington. He was captured at the residence of a Dr. Shorb, a notorious rebel sympathizer, and 'bad on his person important maps and documents. He gave hie name "Stevens," lint was recognized by Dr. Carson,.surgeom to theseouts, as lilt old College= mate at' Princeton. Stuart has been skit in irons to Harrisburg. Near the Campground of-the scouts is the site of the General Hospital, erected soon alter the great battles, into whioh over 2,0(0 Wounded of both sides were removed: / have walked to•dai among the graves of over five hundred rebeli - who died in this hospital. Each body was ,enolosed in a :coffin, interred with Christian funeral services, and the' graves Marked *with head-boards, inscribed with the names of the-deceased, and their respective States. Among them I recognize the familiar South ern names :of Cobb, Nash, Beauford, Brown, No ma°, Eilmore, Box, Gaillard, Pate, Walker, dcc. In anotherdirection, I learn, 1,000 rebels He buried in a field, Use property of John Rose, Esq., formerly of Germantown. Should the rebels ever• invade this town, and Molest it, It would inure even to their everlasting diagrece, If anything can add to their thfamy. The thousands of wounded they left here a year ago . were treated 'with all possible care and kindness. Not only did they enjoy the best medi cal attendance, but, when convalescent, were even permitted, without guard, on simple pa role of honor, to visit the borough frequent ly, hate their photographs taken, and for warded to their families at .houtte. Most assidu ous in doing them good was that large-hearted and noble Christian gentleman, professor ill. L. Stoever, not from syMpathy With their cause, (God forbid 0 but from motives of humanity. With' the families of the wounded rebels he conducted an extensive correspondence; makingnumercus inquiries in their behalf, and doingmuch good to their wotinded. .In whatmarked contrast is this to the inhuman treat ment of our.pritioners on Belle Island and in Libby ! And yet, if these miscreants were to come hero it is even possible that they would destroy the town on the plea of retaliation I Among the other places of interest I have today visited Is the National Cemetery, whete repose the ashes of over four thousand brave Union soldiers, who fell here In the July battles. The graves are arranged .by States, and each one marked by a small head-board. Workmen are now engaged in en. closing the cemetery within a stone wall, and on other improvements. Each gtave is to be supplied with an appropriate marble or granite slab, to bo fur tithed by contract. Nearly one-fourth of the illus triona dead are " Unknonen, ,, either ,by name or to ciiity. To the "last syllable of recorded time" will this prove a Mecca, to whose shrine thousands of liberty-worshippers will repair... Illostforcibleiand truthful wag the ntheraned of President Lirtooln' . n . the-oeCardenetif-its'ineergifratica, that the root-lied-- already o ied-- already Wien consecrated by the blood of those that repose here, and visitors can .only come to erase. orate themselves to the cause of Freedom! The Boards of Directors of the College and Semi nary of the Lutheran Church are now in session. Principal among the items of business transacted by the latter has been the election of a Professor of Didactic Theology, to succeed Rev. S. S. Schmucker, D. D., who, the last forty years, with distinguished ability, has filled that position. By a UnaninSoUS. vote Rev. JAPES A. BROWN, D. D., of York, was chosen the successor of. Dr. Sohmucker. Dr. Brown is a divine of pure character, and eminent as a learned and able theologian- His election gives entire satisfaction, and will, no doubt, add greatly m the efficiency of the institution. E. W. H. The Causes . of National Tribulation— What a lady says ripen the Subject. To the Editor of The - Press: - One afternoon last summer I-visited one of the ninny regiments quartered around our oity to see the evening drill. Even in peaceful times, to witness the evolutions of 80 vast a body of men drawn up in martial array is an imposing sight, but in times portentous as Ithese what thoughts,istrange speculations, and sad reveries Mill the mind ! To think of the home many have left, of the peaceful firesides deserted, of the love so dear, so holy—that to those homes thousands will never return, - and that for them they are ruined and gone i Singularly approPriate wore the words of an old song that (time into my mind with tearfulpatheis "The peace of the valley is fled, The calm of its once happy bow?rs Disturbed by the rude soldier's treed, While the gore of the brave stains its flowers. The young heart which beats but to love Is blighted, forsaken, and dead; The songs of the shepherd are aush'd in'the grove, The peace of the valley is fled. "The - vine round the cottage door strays, Its wild boughs neglected and stern ; From that door must the widow long gaze For a form that can never return ; He sleeps far away 'mid the slain, Eta broken shield pillows his head ; The smiles of his children await him in vain, The peace of the valley is fled I" Oh, land of the brave ! what ruin,,switt and sad den, has fallen 'upon thee ! Through thy peaceful valleys, over thy mountains and rivers, up from thy villages and great citiee,lvast hosts of thy people are trooping. What enemy is upon thee 1 what and where is the foe that daro assail thee 1 Why each a din of arms and beating of drums? Why do our streets resound with the tramp of passing regiments, .and our sight greeted at every turn with war-like .preparations 1 What has aimed ends a deadly blow at cur commerce, and filled men's minds with sad forelsodings of the time to come? What has roused the spirit of contention 'till even the powefalhome circle is invaded by the bitterness and rancor of party spirit? Oh, my country I could the walls of thy Legislative balls speak they would tell theetory of thy ruin. Yes ! our Capitol is the apex of tinsel glitter and extravagance ; it serves, as it is new and as it was originally, as fit emblem of the gallant men who fought and bled for our glorious land, and the demagogues who are striving to rend it asunder. (With rapid strides we grew into a great and power ful people, and took our proud station among the nations of the earth. Our people, knowing nothing of the corruption of (courts, or of servile cringing to pampered favorites, grew up fearless, brave, and simple. Wherever the star-spangled banner floated, it was hailed as the emblem of freedom and liberty, for it bore with its stars and stripes, the glad tidings of a home far over the waters for the down:ticidden and oppressed of other lands.) Diseension crept in, sowing its fatal seeds broadcast over the land—luxu ry held high sway, and debadchery was not far off. Costly silks and web-like laces decked the dainty forms of our women. Fashion ruled supreme, while a puerile desire to ape European life grew into mania. Idleness, love of admiration, senseless dis play, and sinful extravagance; watering places in the Rummer, belle and midnight routlin.the winter • neglected minds and perverted lives; misdirecte d children running wild in their own way; each generation growing "faster," more effeminate, and more corrupt; scandal, guilt', backbiting, and petty rivalries—usurped' the place of household duties and the holy cares of maternity. No rennet God, no reverence for religion I Alas for the chil dren brought up in such homes ! Are the men less to blame? I think not. Gam , bling in stocks ; political dishonesty ; double-dealing and double-faces ; tongues for every °maiden, steeped in gall or honey, just as the time demanded ; bribery for Government work, and the party bribed invited to oyster suppers, champagne, turtle, &c. On such occasions ruin are asked for their influence, for their votes on certain pending bills, and they don't refuse, at least very few. Regaled by the good (sheer of the host, and obits , ' one of all save the present enjoyment, how could they refuse? "Jones," they will tell you, "le such nprince of a fellow, and Mrs. - Jones so • bewitching! it would never do to refuse after such a supper and such wine! Why the old Roman epicure never drank better!" And in gulping down the wins down goes their honor, too. Then there are fast betrays, and enormous sums lost at the gaming table. Sometimes there are two separate establishments, one in which honorable men should find their hap.. plumb the other not even to be named. It Is aaid that in States, as in many natural bodies, ',untimely decrepitude is the penalty of precocious -maturity. We were like some fair plant that keeps its verdure and beauty, even after the worm and canker have commenced at the root.

To the Editor of The Press: Slit: It is a fact worthy, of note that those who have gone through the ordeal of a certain kind of Southern esperience are wider awake than those who have not. When, with anguish unspeakable, I found that the existence of a Country which I had thought more securely and permanently established than any other was at the mercy off few miserable, ambitious men,. I felt. as • if- for more than thirty years I had been in a dream from which I was then awaking, and I resolved that never, never again would I suffer myself to be led into any similar de.. lusion. A very remarkable temptation is now pre senting itself. There are men who say let us choose this one or that one for President, and we wilt have peace. So you will. : It will, be to many of you the peace of the grave„to many others the peace of the prise)), std to still others the peace of want and wretchedness unspeakable. Ask your soldiers who have been with Burnside in East Tennessee, and they will tell you what kind•of peace . Southern men have for loyal old meu,women, and children, not to speak of the lighting. portion. I for :one protest against such a. peace. It will be .the crushing of the hopes of every Union man .who' has patiently suffered.• It will be the banding together of the Southern traitors, with their friends in the North, for the destruction of those who are now struggling hard to maintain the integrity of the Union. There IA many good men who are tempted to fall in with this movement. Let them beware. - . The Ordnhnee-Boat Explosion at City Point—Seenes and Incidents. • Our despatches yesterday gave very full particu lars of the immediate effects and incidents of the destruction of the ordnance- boat, and a correspond ent of the New York Tribune now•furnishes us with some reminiscences of his own personal experience and a - number of interesting incidents. H e had ascended te the top of a train of cars, a short dis tance from the landing, at the time of the catas trophe, and was waiting to accompany it to the front. -Be says : ' .. ' ' , I walkerlwell back on the train (up-riverwards), so as to avoid the cinders . and smoke of the locomo tive in going out (a precaution which experience had taught roe), and sat down. on the walk-board along the top of ' the car, and commenced perusing a letter I had just received• from ft fraternal young ster in the Prairie:State, - I had gotten about half through this, when, the first thing .1 - knew,, I did not not kno*mich of anything. A stunning and deaf ening shock,. as it of the terrific explosion of a mon ster shell near me, and the 'concussion of the air, were bending me involuntarily over on the deck of the car, as a plant bending before the storm, and it seemed that the. concussion would never cease. ringing and swaying until - it bred more and more danger. My first thought was that an ammuni tion oar, .Iradt.•exploded ..jtiat . ahead of the 'one I 'was on, and that it would be of little use to -try 'to . elm§ the. storm :that . had • gone ' up and would mme'down—that, one - was about as safe in one pittee'artariether.'

TER OLICCIABBIAII EXODUB.—A. communication ficm Ineholl (Natolia), of the 12th,, glees some de tails of the Circassian immigration into that place . " It was In the early part of May that the Cfircas- Sian refugees began to lard in this port. A Turkish steamer has since brought boat-loads here every • week from Samsoun and Sinope. The first corners were divided amongthe shops, cafe., and all availa ble places in and about the bazaar ; and as this ao-' commodation was Inadequate, many were obliged.to remain in the public thoroughfares. Their deplora ble condition awakened pity in all hearts; hunger, disease, and misery were written in everylineament. The number of children was very great, and the insufficient nourishment afforded them brought on serious sickness and mortality. An excellent local ity has been allotted by the. Government for these outcasts in the interior, near Angora, a situation well wooded and abounding In flowing water. The • pressing necessity was to get them off as speedily as possible to this encampment, but great .neglect iii doing so took place, and the consequences were very lamentable. The town -became crowd ed with el.* and famishing .oircasslans ; ' they exhaled a fetid odor; and• betng brought into con tact with the inhabitants, generated disease which threatened to be widespread: The result has been that dysentery, typhus fever, and smitll•pox have made sad havoc anion gst these unfortunate people, and still continue to mow down their ranks. For tunately, Bias Bey, Governor General of Casta• muni, on his tour of inspection of public works, paid us a visit. Measures were at once takendo prevent the. indiscriminate association- (Cake 'inhabitants with the Circaesians, and ordem .If.. given for the speedy retuotted.of4lte, immigrants from the' town info the interior, 'where numbere of hate were hastily run up foe their temporarY accommodation. A • marked Improvement. mar effected in this man ner while Rim Bey. remained. But now. that his excellency has ;left, things are failing back again into the miserable old tontine. ' Last week we . had 2;500 fresh - arrivals ; many of them were landed half dead with sickness, and in the midst of • torrents of rain were distributed wherever shelter could be foundfor them. Up to the present moment about 12,000 have landed here, of whom 4,500 remain yet to be' forwarded to the camp In the interior.' ,This cathp'eannot, it le comp,uted, hold more than 10,000, and - hence another locality will need to be selected for these immigrants, who continue to arrive weekly in large numbers. • The Government (mesa half an oke Of bread (the oke is somewhat over 23 pounds) to bedistribnted daily to each Circassian, and a portion of ricefOr the infirm. It furnishes also means of transport to the interior, and a tolerably abundant supply of meal ; otherwise this district would be in a sad condition indeed. As. It is, our condition is full .of peril, and. a -feeling of gloom settles upon all hearts. Amongst the natives and residents various diseases have .already made themselves felt, with the exception' of small-pox; but their effects have happnot been so disastrous as amongst the Circus Of these, from 20 to 3o os ix fall victims every day, 'rd by thetime they reach their destination at least a quarter of their original number perish." . Tint DUKE 08 BRUNSWICK AGAIN.—The Duke of Brunswick, who for years has occupied in this city a great big ugly house, which he 'makes uglier by having it painted from top to bottom . in some glaring color or other—green, red, or blue—and which is defended by looks, bolts,andhars; as if it were a prison,' saying nothing of eland bells set in motion by secret springs, in such a manner that a stranger, not' knowing - how 14;:direet his steps, ere ates a tremendous clatter—this duke is,at last about to fulfil hie lOrig-annbuncetideslith of leaving Paris definitively; and of taking up his residence In Hol land.. Re would have gone before this if he could have got a -purchaser for his-hideous mansion—a mansion, by, the way, which, sovereign prince though he be, scarcely anybody has ever entered as a' visitor. He, of course, takes, with him his dia monds, which are worth millions ; his :wigs, which are as black as jet; and his rodge, which is the red dest to be found anywhere, as all Parisians who have seen his cheeks gleaming on the boulevards can tes tify. The reason why he quits Paris, albeit to a man . in, his position itninst be the pleasantest, or; at all events, the least, dleagreeable town to live' in of all Europe, is / one which shows. his character in a disagreeable light. He has It appears, an illegiti mate daughter of English birth, to whom he gave an excellent education; and for whom he undertook to proVide pi a manner suitable to his rank. '.Bat after she had grown to woman's estate she offended him by marrying a French gentleman of a pedigree much larger than his rent-roll; and she further offended him by quitting the Protestant for the Ca tholic' religion. He accordingly stopped her sup plies. She bore the deprivation as welLasshe could for a time, but regard for her children made her en treat him to,give her an annual allewance. He re. fused to gtvelaer one farthing. She - brought an tui tion against him.- He employed all the means which wealth allowed. to delay a definite decision on the writ; but the time .approaches in which it must bo given, and he sees that It will g 0 against him. He, however, is determined not to pay, and so he breaks up his establishment In France, sells his house and other real property, and goes away. The judgment whichhis unfortunate daughter may get will nit be worth the paper on which it is written—he will leave nothing thetelso.--Paris Leifer. .. . A Srs ci am Meaarest.—One of the latest applies- Hone of mechanical -science :Is certainly that in volved in the production of the Anthropogloseos. Eyes were Made which lack onlythe quality of see ing, but which are undistieguishable from the natu ral organ artificial legs, 'and hands, and arms, and teeth, which answer almost - all the purposes of those provided by - nature; 'but hitherto a - " human tongue," and 'with .well-trained vocal organs, has been wanting. This last. difficulty of, mechanical Science has now been ,ovestiatile, all AtitYiktersell may. see for himself who wilrvisit St - Stifitet Hall, where the Anthropoglossos is exhibited. - Here they will , see a large waxen head, not unlike In its general ap pearance that of the late M.- Jullien, with a silver fionnel in its month. The head is not supported upon any body or pedestal, but hangs suspended by gilt chains from the ceiling. Beneath the bust, or what may be called the neck of the singing ma chine there is a small glassease, containing some very delicately constructed mechanism, which may be taken - to represent the glottis, and the means of producing - vocal expression. This mechanism, like that of a musical box, Is wound up by a key, and forthwith a pair of small Bellows are seen to work, warfront the small silver trumpet there issues forth a yoke singing as distinctly and es accurately as human flesh and -blood. The mechanical vocalist bag a repertortire of six Forge, and the National Anthem, with which it - winds up the entertain ment. 'Some other heads of a similar character are to be seen in the room, bat we understand that they are not yet completely trained to their musical duties. The articulation of the-words is so clear, and the notes so . musical, that it induces - the suspicion' of something more than mere mocha. Meal appliances. Unlike other singing machines, there is - inothing harsh 'or mechanical about the notes, and the 'deception. of introducing a human voice, if ft exists, Is very cleverly carried out, for the most careful examination fails to detect any mode by which the voice of a human singer could be, brought so cleverly out of the mouth of the waxen head. Some 3 - ears ago there was an exhibition of the vocal performance of what was termed the "In visible Girl," who answered questions and sang songs from a box suspended in the room • bat in - that.case there was no attempt to showethaethe re sults were produced by mechanism; But in these days of, table turningand spiritualism them 'is no knowing what may not be accomplished by natural. means, and lie would be arash man who would as- Bert thatit was impossible to imitate as - perfectly as the Anthropoglossos does the sounds of the :human yofee.—Observer. • A RISPORTINO Macsurrit.—A. novel and curious instrument has been invented by Mr. Bryois.

It consists of a ae ries of levers worked by keys like a piano; and act ing on a set of types which impress themselves on a strip of paper that is gradually unrolled.

The generaltone of the market is on the whole that there will be 'a good trade, and, notwithstanding pricesAseem high, yet when compared with other goods they are found to be no higher than many other things, and the usual wants must be sap plied.
