THE NEW ROOMS.
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.

(Special Correspondence of The Press.)
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

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

this prove a Mecca, to whose shrine thousands of

The Boards of Directors of the College and Semi

Principal among the items of business transacted
by the latter has been the election of a Professor of

ability, has filled that position. By a UnaninSoUS.

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. Corruption
had crept in, yes, even Into high places, till there
was rottenness at the core.

Thoughts for Malty—No. 3.
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

• Our despatches yesterday gave very full particu

destruction of the ordnance- boat, and a correspond

some reminiscences of his own personal experience
and a - number of interesting incidents. H e had

so as to avoid the cinders . and smoke of the locomo

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

I 'was on, and that it would be of little use
to -try 'to . elm§ the. storm :that . had • gone ' up

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

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

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

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 RISPORTINO Macsurrit.—A. novel and curious
instrument has been invented by Mr. Bryois. It is
for the purpose of taking short-hand notes with
more than the usual , rapidity. 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. Work
leg only with one finger, an ordinary reporter can
work as quickly as the best short...hand reporter, but
by using the two hands the rapidity is increased
immensely. -.

On the 9th inst., when 400 miles from the west of

When brought on board, and the gills and offal
taken away, it weighed close upon five owt.. and
was eight feet length. The captain and two of the

of his leoturein behalf of Rev: Father Lavelle :
Fits-won, 'July IS, INA.
To the Very Rev. -Dr. Moriarty, 0. S. A. Philadelphia:
MT DEAR. DR. ISTOMARTYI am ' in receipt of
your kind and respected letter of the 16th
unclosing a draft—£ll2le-.lod.—for the benefit of
the Bev. Father'Lavelle, hasbeen forwarded'
to me'frort, Timm. Tor thisnoble offering ' the fruit
at °rum of your zeal and eloquence, and of the piety
and patriotism of the faithful people of Philadel
phia, I pray you to accept my most grateful acknow
ledgment. •.,
Seldom have the unquestionable rights of subjects
to the enjoyment of good governinent been so clear
ly placed within the rule of the strictest orthodoxy
as they have been in your recent Interesting lecture.
Although-the topics which , you .addressed to - your
auditory were, from . several peculiar reasons, long
familiar to myself, yet I found in thorn a freshness
of.view and a °harm of illustration which vigorous
' intellect alone can give, and which free and intel
lectual hearers are sure to appreciate.
- Yet itwould seem as If the duties and rights of
the governors and governed were to be regulated by
the varYlpgMerldians of the countries they inhabit.
For whilst outtulers eitend to the subjects of all
the other Governments of the world the right of
revolt beyond what religion or reason would Bene
tton, so jealous are they of the superior excellence
of t heir 'own Government, thlit to arraign it of ty
rannytir injustice would be deemed wickedness or
infatuation.' Such is the practical result by which
the fine theories of the British Constitution are often
illustrated. '
I beg, to thank you sincerely for ~the too kind ex
p-ressions of your letter regarding myself. It is not
410-first:time that I have been laid under weighty
obligations by the generous feelings of the ecclesias
tics and people of Philadelphia i.ourjttoor can never
forget their munificent charities; atulthoSe
parts of 'An:ferias In the days of their need.
- With - sentiments of sincere respect' nd gratitude;
I remain, ray dear Doctor, your falthful friend. •

of the national credit until 'our stocks sell at much
higher prices. Ai gold recedes, the British demand

that may be expected from those sections. With
the manufacturers business continues much as last
week ; some are striking out a little more boldly,
while others are disposed to move more cautiously
then they have done, making, probably, about the
average. of business of the past few weeks. 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. '• .
