painful and humiliating homage. The preface,

advancement of the wet
jjbpae lessons,to,he profitable,
reqnlreoertaln dondiflons.lt Is neoesaary that foots
reproduced with rigorous exactitude, that
poUtloal ana sooial changes should be phllosophl
oally'analysed, thatthe piquant attraction ofthe
details of the lives ofpubiio men should not dis
tract attention from their political task or throw
their providential mission into oblivion. The histo
rian too often glveß ns the various phases of histo
ry as spontaneous events, without diving deoper into
anterior nets for their real origin and natural de
duction.! In' like manner as the artist, who In re
producing the accidents of nature devotes himself
a.mply to their picturesque effect without being able
In tig picture to give their scientific demonstration.
The [historian ought, to be more than a painter;
he ought, like the geologist, who explains the phe
nomena of the globe, to disclose the seoret of
the transformation of our sooial world. Sat In
writing history, what arc tho means to. ascertain
the troth 1 The only way is to follow the rules of
legio. Let us take It ior granted at once that great
results are always due to a great eanse, never to a
small one; in other words, an Incident Insignificant
In appearance never leads to great results with
out a pre-existing cause whloh has allowed that
small incident to achieve a great result. A spark
doesnot create a great conflagration unless It falls
upon combustible materials aoouuralated before
hand. Montesquieu,confirms this Idea: '• It Is not
good fortune/’ he says, *- whloh rules the world.
There are general causes, either moral
or physical, which act In every monarchy, elevate
It, uphold It, or ruin It. All Incidents are subjected
to these causes and If the ohanoeor battle—that is
to say, a special cause—has ruined the state, there
existed a general cause whloh implied that that
state was to perish in a single battle; In fact; the
chief inducements absorb all other special inol
dents. (I.) If, during a perlod of nearly one thou
sand years, the Homans always issued iorth trium
phant from the most severe trials and from the
greatest dangers, It Is because there was a general
cause which always rendered them superior to
their enemies, ana which did not suffer defeats.
and partial disasters to lead to a fall of their
sway. If the Homans, after giving to the world the
example ol a people establishing themselves firmly,
and growing great by liberty, have seemed slnee
Crosar to throw themselvoß blindly Into serfdom,
It is beoanse there existed a general reason whloh
fatally prevented the republic from returning to.the
pore form of Its former instituttouß; It Is because
ft wants, and the new Interests of a society In,
labor required other means to be satisfied. In the
same manner that logic proves to ns in Import
ant events the reason why they are imperative,
in like manner we must reoognize both In the
long duration or, au institution the proof of.
Its worth, and' in the incontestable lnfiuenoe of
a man upon his age the proof of his genius.
The task consists, then, in endeavoring to dlsosver
the vital element which constituted the strength
of the Institution, like the predominating idea
whloh made the man act. Following this rule we .
shall avoid the errors of those historians who collect
facts transmitted by preceding ages, without ar
ranging them aeeordlng to their philosophical Im
portance; glorifying what deserves censure, and
leaving In the dark that which calls for light. It
Is not a minute analysis of the Homan organiza
tion whloh will make us understand the duration of
so great an. empirei but a deep Investigation into
the spirit of Its institutions ; it Is not, moreover, a
detailed narrative of the lesser acts of a superior
man which-will reveal to us the secret of hie ascend
ency, hut a careful examination of the elevated
motives of his conduct. When extraordinary
faots demonstrate an eminent genius, what can
be more contrary to good sense than to attribute
to him .all the passions and sentiments of me*
dloority 1 What more erroneous than not to
recognize the pro eminence of those privileged
beings,, who appear from time to time In his
tory as brilliant beacons, dissipating the darkness
of thelrepooh and throwing light upon the iutoro !
To deny Buoh pre-eminence would, moreover, be an
Insult to human nature, by believing It capable of
submitting lor a length of time and voluntarily to a
domination not based upon real greatness or incon
testable amity. Let ua be logical, and we shall be
just. Too many historians find It more easy to lower
men of genius than to raißO themselves by a gene
rons Inspiration to their level by penetrating their
vast designs. Thus, as regards Cmsar, instead of
showing ns Homo tom by oivli wars, corrupted
by wealth, treading its ancient institutions un
der foot, threatened by powerful nations—the
Hauls, the Germans, and the Parthlans—lncapable
01 maintaining itself without a stronger central pow
er, more stable and more just; instead, I say, of
drawing thatfaithful picture, Caesar Is represented
to üb, lrom his very youth, meditating already upon
supteme power- JU he resists Sylia,lf he disagrees
with Oicero; if he entera Into alllanoe with Fompsy,
It is all the result of that far-sighted ounuiog whloh
has divined everything to enslave everything; If he
dashes Into Gaul, It Is to acquire wealth by pillage
(2),-or soldiers devoted to his cause; if he crosses roe
sea to carry his eagles Into an unknown country, tho
conquest ol whloh will strengthen that of the
Gauls (8), It was bnt to seek for pearls supposed to
exist ln the leas at Great Britain (1). If, alter hav
ing vanquished the formidable enemies of Italy-be
yond the Alps, he meditates upon an expedition
against the Farthlans to avenge the defeat of eras
sus, it is, say certain historians, because activity
suited his nature, and that he enjoyed better health
when in the field (5); 11 he accepts with gratitude a
laurel crown from the ben ate and beors.lt proudly,
It Is to hide Ms bald head; If, finally, he is assas
sinated by the menhrhom he has overwhelmed with
his bounty. It Is because he wished to make himself
King; asif hewas not,for his contemporaries as
well as posterity, much greater than any king.
Since Suetonius and Flutaroh, snoh are the misera
ble Interpretations which have been given to the
noblest acts. But by what sign are we to recog
nize the'greatness of a maul In the sway of his
Ideas, when his principles and his system triumph
despite his death or Ms defeat. Is It not, In fact,
the prerogative of genius to outlive destruction, and
to extend its empire over future generations 1 Caesar
disappeared, and his lufiuenoo predominates stlU
more roan daring his lifetime. Cicero, his adver
sary, Is'obliged to exolalm, “ All the acts of Caesar,
his writings, his words, his promises, his thoughts,
are more powerful after Ms death than If he were
stlUaUve"(B) Baring centuries it has sufficed to
tell the world that such was the will of -Gmsar for
the world to obey. That wMoh precedes sufficiently
ludlvatuu-blWnrtjrot'T Yinrn |II unmnil tut gMsjimiy >e»
writing this history. That object is to prove that
When .Providence raises up such men as Caesar,
Charlemagne; and Napoleon, it Is to trace out
to nations the path they aught to fallow, to
stamp a sew era with the seal ol their genius, and
to accomplish la a few years the work of many
centuries. Happy the nations who. comprehend
and follow them! Woe te those who misun
derstand and resist -them 1 They act like the
Jews; they cruelty their Messiah; They are blind
and guilty-blind, for they see.not the Impotence of
their effdrtß tosuspend the final triumph of good;
guilty,:for they oniylretsrd its progress by impeding
its prompt and fertile application, In fact, neither
the assassination of Ca- .ar nor the Imprisonment of
St. Helena could destroy beyond revival two popu
lar causes overthrown by a league disguising It
self with the mask of liberty. Bratus byklQlng
Ciesar plunged Home Into the horrors of oivU
war; he did not prevent the reign of Augustus,
but he rendered possible those of Nero and
Caligula. Nor has the ostracism of Napoleon by
conspiring Europe prevented the resuscitation of
the Empire, and yet how distant are we from that
solution of great questions; fromgthe appeased pas
sionß, from the legitimate satisfaction given to na
tions by the first Empire! Thus, ever slnoe 1816
has verified Itself that prophecy of the captive of
St. Helena,; “ What struggles, what bloodshed,
what years’ will yet be required that the good I
Wished to do to mankind may be realized (7) V’

THE DBAF^T—-MEETING OF WARD DELEGATES.
Last "evening a meeting of delegates from tlie
several wards was held in toe District Court Boom,
corner Sixth and Chestnut. The object of tOe moet
lug was to take. measures whereby tke bounties
offered by the different wards might be equalized,
Mr. m S. Stokely, of the Ninth ward, was
called to the chair, and Mr. J. F. Byrnes acted as
seoretary.
Mr. Gilroy, from the Fourth ward, moved that
the ward bounty be, fixed at $35 for rdw recruits and
$6O for veterans, and that the. question of cashing
the ward bounties be left to the several wards.
A long dissuasion on the subject followed, and the
resolution was finally adopted.
Prof. Saunders stated that orders had been re
ceived to commence drafting as soon asreorultlng
fell short of 40 men per day In each district. In
those districts where the draft had taken place the
same rule would apply In regard to the drafted
men. Ho offend the following resolution:
Besolmd, That clergymen, who formerly were so ef
ficient In persuading uembeis of their congregations to
enlist, ana all other speakers who son Influence large
bodies bf men: members of Select and Common Coun
cils. the police force, and others occnpylng public posi
tions, be- earnestly solicited to onert themselves to tke
uimcat to obtain volunteers, chiefly on the principle of
benevolence, in order to relieve men who cannot go to
the field without subjecting their families to circum
stances of great hAdabtp ■
The resolution was adopted.
A resolution to give eaoh person bringing an ac
ceptable recruit the Sum of 06 waragreed to.
Mr. Loughlln stated that whatever indulgence
had,been given to the.oity In delaying the draft, and
to drafted men, In giving them time, was not owing
to any kindness of Secretary Stanton or Mr. Fry.
They both had said that.they.wonld give no time to
any one, and that drafted men most go or furnish
substitutes,.and the dpaft.be proceeded with without
delay. President Llnoolmwas the only one who fa
vored the postponement of the draft, and said that
he would In all oases prefer volunteers to conscripts,

ANNUAL RKI-OKT OP THB BOABD.
< The annual reportof the Board of controllers was
presented and read. From It we learn that the
number of pupils In tho public schools on the first
day of January, 1864, was... 72,099
On January 1,1866..,......’ 174,848
Increase 2,214
There are B,oco,children watting admittance, ior
whom there are no accommodations.
Of the 74,348 pupils, 36,860 are boys and 87,493 are
girls. There were 63.744 scholars admitted last
year. Number that left the sohool, 61,617. The
average attendance In the whole district was 63,220.
The reason of the small number In actual attend
ance Is ascribed to .the fact that at least four-fifths;
ol the territory of the dlstriot is rural, and the
weather oauses a great falling off la attendance.
The whole amount of expenditures for the year ’
was $822,162,18. From thismuat be deducted the
cost of new sohools, $21,68X26, leaving as the actual
annual expense, $800,676 93. The annual cost of
each pupil 1b $9.38. There is no large city in the
United States where popular education Is received
at so low a rate. This Is owing to the watchfulness
of the Board over the expenditures, and the care
taken by the several hoards In the expenditures.

FIRST HOME 1 FOB THE NATION’S ORPHANS.
On Thursday afternoon a fine newibnUdlng Is to be
dedicated, with appropriate ceremonies, addresses,
&a., to the use or the orphans of Pennsylvanians 1
who have died In the service,of the nation. It is the
first Home In the eonntry completed and furnished
for the orphans of. our heroic dead; and In view of
this fact the cocaslcn will doubtless be made one of,
unusual Interest. Indeed, we are Informed that the
Governor, of the Commonwealth and other distin
guished persons aro expected to bepresent.
This Orphans’ Home has been.ereeted, wo believe,
through the untiring, exertions of Bev. E. W.
Hutter, president of toe Board of Managers el the
Northern Home, for Friendless Children. Ever
since the war began this hbble institution has been
applied to by men who have lost their wives, de
siring to enUst In the military or naval service of
toe United States, to receive their children Into
the Home, to assume the gnardlanaMp of them
If their fathers should not return, and to restore
them to their fathers If they should escape, the pe
rils of the service and return again to their own
homes. Hundreds of children have Jbeen thus re
ceived and are now cared for by roe Northern Heme
for Friendless Children,, hut the number of desti
tute orphans of soldiers throughout the State Is
now over 5,000, of wMoh our city has had her
fuU share. Additional accommodations are there
fore required for the v eare of these most merlto--
rious claimants upon the bounty of onr oltizcns. ‘ ,
Mrs. Hutter, whose disinterested fidelity, patriot
ism, and usefulness have long Blnce won for her the
confidence and esteem of this community, has sue
eeeded in oolleotlsg the handsome sum of sl§,oooforu
tMs purpose. The Hon. Joseph E. Ingersoll heard,
of her effort to meet tMs pressing want .andsenfc
$2,000: the Messrs. Welsh gave $600; the Misses A,
and M. Sager $600; Miss Mary Hahn, slnoe de
ceased, $800; the operatives of Messrs. Sellers &
Co. gave $B4B, and the Messrs. Sellers $2OO. A fes
tival, gotten up by Mrs; T, M. Hammett and other
ladles of the "Home,’’realized $1,200. Many ofthe
leading coal operators of the State have also made
handsome contributions, but we have hot received a
complete list of the donors. It will doubtless he fur
nished for publication. We rejoice to know that
tMs excellent Christian lady has taken this matter
in hand, and we feel snre that onr readers will take
pleasure In farthering an enterprise that so directly
appeals to the best Impulses of.our nature. , A much
larger sum, we learn, is still needed to carry out her
purpose of rearing a Home for toeeoldiers’ orphans,
and to pay for the cost of buildings lately bought,
to he need as an Infirmary for the Northern Home
and tor the Orphans’ Home. The -latter Idea Is also
an excellent one In a sanitary point of view ;ibr ex
perience has taught that It is almost impossible to
keep a large number of sick and well children under
the Bame roof although In difierent apartments,
without prejudice to the well oMldren, A: commit
tee of the Legislature Artelted the 1 Northern Home
and this new building me the Orphans’ Home, a few
weeks since, and expressed themselves as Mghly
gratified with both. They are under the same
management. Mrs. Hatter boards at 307 New street,
