SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1805.
-TIM) Progress of the War and the Prophe
- cles of its Opponents.
One of those singular contrasts which
give history its satire is now forced upon
general attention. Four months ago a :
powerful party in the United States at
tempted: to gain possession of the Go
vernment, upon the ground that the war
Was a failure, and that it was the interest
of the nation to elect men who would make
“ immediate efforts to obtain a cessation of
hostilities.” The comment upon these as
sertions has been sudden, sharp, and deci
sive. In four months from the day that
jfhe Democratic party was defeated, the.
rebel armies have been driven out of five
States. In Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia,!
Alabama, and South Carolina there is
scarcely a brigade of the enemy. Is this
the “failure” upon which the Chicago!
Convention was so eloquent ? Savannah,
Charleston, and Wilmington have been"
captured by our armies. Would an “im-.
mediate cessation of hostilities” have re
stored them to the Union ? It is true that !
the rebellion has gained some strength by j
the concentration of its force, but it has
lost fax more by the surrender of its terri-!
tory. Those who still affect a belief that'
the enemy has voluntarily relinquished
these cities and States, having had the
power to hold them, and that the rebellion
is now stronger for their loss, are well anl
swered by-rebel arguments Four days be- 1
fore Wilmington was evacuated the Journal ’
of that city thus presented the situation,,
and though it incorrectly denied the neces
sity of the retreat, it truthfully set forth the j
results. i
“Other things being equal, or nearly equal, It ;
would" eertalnly be wrong for the Confederate Go- j
veipment to abandon, oven for a time, any portion :
Of the loyal and-devoted Inhabitants of the Con
federacy. The fortunes of war. might compel the
Confederate armies to fall baalt and thus neoossltat a
a temporary abandonment of territory; bnt the;
abandonment of which we now speak Is not of that!
kind. It Is a predetermined evacuation In advance,
of immediate necessity and for strictly strategic;
reasons. It IS evident that these strategie reasons'-
ought to be ef an overruling character, and felt to!
bo so, to reconcile the inhabitants of the abandoned:
country to their fate, and keep them loyal while,
under the military powered the enemy. If the ne-'
cesßlty Is overruling, or the military advantages to'
the Confederacy preponderating, then, Indeed, every
minor consideration should give way before the do.,
mauds of the cause; but we, have never been able to!
perceive how an enemy, tsifft the whole coast country,
for a basis, can be easier defeated in the interior by a
contracted Confederacy than he could have been at
first, before he had every port os a primary base, undo,
rich and eatemive country'as a secondary base, or
number of bases.”
To this contracted Confederacy the Op-i
position party, were it now in power,
would be pledged to offer an armistice.
Grant, and Shebman, and Sheridan, and
Thomas, and Schofield, all flushed with
victory and on the eve of greater victories,
it would be pledged to stop in their gigan
tic operations. It would he bound to sub
stitute for the certain success of war the
doubtful experiment of negotiation—nego
tiation doubly dangerous, as it would be
gin with the confession that further fight
ing was opposed to the interests of “civi
lization, humanity, liberty, and the public
welfare." We said in the late Presidential
campaign that the success of the Union
party would be certain to restore the
Union, and’ we now have far more reason
to believe that the establishment of me
Chicago pfttferm as the policy of the na
tion yvould have inevitably resulted in the
division of the Bepublic.
In bis speech, last night, the President
did not conceal his contempt for the plan
of the rebels to make their slaves fight for
the perpetuation of slavery. In his own
: shrewd way, he has shown the absurdity of
such an attempt, and it would be well if
every white and black man in the South
could read his wdrds. But the President’s
‘avowed that he would permit those to he
slaves who were mean enough to wish it,
must not be taken as an absolute opinion.
Slavery is a crime not to be condoned by
the'consent of the slave, and if there were
men capable of such a meanness, they
should be prevented for the .honor of the
human race.
Death op a Prominent Merchant.—Ourmer
cantile oommunity It as suffered a loss In the death of
Mr. Thomas I. Potts, who expired on Thursday
morning, In the fifty-ninth ytatof bis age. Mr. Potts

AN ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
HIS VIEWS OF SLAVERY AND NEGRO SOL
DIERS IN THE REBEL ARMY.
The Enemy at the EXd of his Resources,
Washington, Maieh-IT.—A rebel Sag, oapture’d ;
at Fort Anderson by the 14oth Indiana Volunteers,
was to-day presented to Governor Morton, of that:
State, Inlrontof the National Hotel. Alargeorowd ;
of people was in attendance.
Governor Morton made a brief speech, In the!
course of which he congratulated his auditors on ,
the speedy end of the rebellion, and concluded by !
Introducing President Lincoln, whose purity and !
patriotism, he said, were confessed by all, even;
amongst the most violent agitators- [Applause.]
His Administration will be recognized as the most
important epoch of history. It struck the death
blow to slavery, [applAuse,] and built up the repub- -
ho with a power it had never before possessed. If
he had dene nothing more than to put his name to
the emancipation proclamation, that apt alone
would have made his name Immortal. [Applause.] -
The President addressed the assemblage sub*:
stantially as follows:
. Fellow- citizens : It will be buta few words that:
I fhall undertake to say. I was born In Kentucky,'
raised In Indiana, and live in Illinois [laughter],
and lam now here, where It Is my duty to be, to
care equally for the good people of all the States. I i
am glad tOyEee an Indiana regiment, on this day,
able to present this captured flag to the Governor!
of the State of Indiana. [Applause.] lam not dis
posed, In sating this, to make a distinction between j
States, for all have done equally well. [Applause.] -
There are but few" views or aspects of tills great i
war upon which I have not said or .written some-,
thing whereby my own viewsmightbe made known.
There is one—the recent attempt of eur “ erring.
brethren,” as they are sometimes called [laughter],
to employ the negro to fight for them, I have net-;
tier written nor made a speech upon that subject; i
because that was their business, and not mine; and
If they bad a wish npoa the subject, I had not the,
power to introduce It or make it effective. The great!
question with them was, Whether the negro, being ;
put into the army, will fight for them! I do!
not know, and therefore eannot decide. [Laughter.] .
They ought to know better than we, and do know. 1
I have In my lifetime heard many arguments why I
the negro ought to be a slave, 1 but If they fight for
those who would keep them In slavery. It will be a!
better argument than any I have- yet heard.:
[Laughter and applause J He who will fight for!
that ought to be a slave. [ Applause.] [
They nave concluded at last to take one out of'
four of the-slaves and put him In the army, and:
that one. out of four who will -fight to keep the
others In slavery ought to be a slave himself, unless
he Is killed In a fight. [Applause.]
While I have often said that all men ought to be
free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be
slaves who want to he, and next -to them, those
white men who argue In favorer making other pso- 1
pie slaves. [Applause.]
-1 am in favor of giving an opportunity to snob:
white men to try it on for themselves. [Applause.]
I will say one thing, with regard to the negro being
employed to fight for them that I do know. I
know that he cannot fight and stay at home and
make bread too [laughter and applause]; and as
one is about as important as the other to them, I
don’t care which they do. [Renewed applause.]
I am rather In favor of having them try them as
soldiers. [Applause ] They lack one vote of doing
that, and 1 wish I oould send my vote over the wires,
so that I might oast it lu favor of allowing the ne
gro to fight.' [Applause.] But they eannot fight
and work both. .We must now see the bottom of
the enemy’s resources.
They will stand out as long as they can, and, if the
negro will fight for them, they must allow him to
fight. They have drawn upon their last branch of
resources—[applause]—ana we can now see the
bottom. [Applause.] lam glad to sea the end so
near at hand. [Applause.] • -
I have said now more than I Intended to, and will,
therefore, bid you good-bye. •
_ The President then retired; while the crowd below
saluted him wlth loud and hearty, cheers, the band
at the same time playing a lively tune.
Governor Morton then stepped forward and re
marked that they had now seen the rebel flag, and
he proposed that eaah man id favor of the perpetui
ty of this Union should, take off hla.h&t and give
three cheers for the Union flag. The request was
responded to with a hearty good will. Three
musing cheers were then given for President Lin
coln, and three more for Governor Morton, after
which the band struok up “ Yankee Doodle,”

Commissioner Lewis on the Income Tax.
An assessor in Buffalo has received .the following
letter from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
whose rulings are applicable to all sections:
Tbs 4BU*r Depaetmsxt,
OFFICE OF IHTBBNAL RfivEHCS.
_ .... Wabhwotob, March 6. 1885.
Bra: Complaints have been made to this office as to
the manner in which income returns hove been made
In many collection districts In the United Statas. and;
concerning yours among ethers It i* In tbe power of
the apsesfcor, asd it is also bit diitr, to require all psr
sons who may havs filed affidavit* that they were not
In possession of S6CO income for 1862 and 1853—wh.ereh.e
supposes the statement to he frau talent—to appear be
fore him and explain or rectify their returns or affi
davits. : ::
It is reasonaldchihat persons whose family expenses
were oyer $l,OOO per year must have a taxable iaoome,
and yet it is known that persons who have lived at a
rate requiring an expenditure of from $2,000 to SS,OCG,
have made affidavit* that their incomes aid not amount
to S6CO-per year in the years referred to. All such re
tains are presumptively erroneous; and in many in
stances are probably frandnlest.
Other persons engaged in trade of various kiuds have
assumed their income to have been some certain sum.
without taking an inventory Others have made
greater deductions than are allowed by law. such as
expense** of labor,and machinery. and new build
ings. Where such returns am made under circum
stances which show that there was a deliberate intent
to mislead the assessor, or evade the payment of thie
proper tax. they ought to be leasßSßsadby the asses
sor. For t sough a mere mistaken return after It has
been examined, and the tax paid, may not be re-exa
mined, any fraudulent return may be inquired into
at any time, hloman can benefit oy his own wrong,
and no time can cure what is void or voidable by rea
son of frand.
When ataxpayer comes forward and mikes a volun
tary amendment of his former return, with the state
ment that he made an improper return under an honest
misapprehension.of the law, and yvu are satisfied that
he was not incited to thie course by fear of detection,
yen can receive his return if you ere fully satisfied of
Its correctness* withou; tbe addition of any penalty.
Bnt when, upon investigation, you -find a person
clearly guilty of having purposely made short returns,
you should, if the return waa made slnoe Julr. 1864.
assets the hnc tired per cent, penalty for fraud, and
in addition should report the case to the Collector for
such action as he deems fit.- Very respectfully.

As spring 1b at hand with Its attendant removals—

We have already, to more than one Instance,
taken occasion to speak of these celebrated stoves,
because we believed their universal adoption would
be a great public benefit. The following remarks
concerning these celebrated stoves will not be un
interesting: In their construction Mr. Spear has
achieved a great mechanical and scientific triumph,
..which every Intelligent housekeeper will at once ap
preciate. Heretofore the great objections to Jlat-top
oook stoves have been that they would bum the
bread at the top, and not bake it at the bottom ;
also, their small size of oven, and the constant burn
ing ont of the grates,, brick, and centre pieces,
together with the accumulation of dust and dirt in
the fines, without any adequate means of cleaning
them out; also, the collection of ashes under the
grates, causing them to melt dirt frequently, and
thus rendering the stove worthless. In the Spear
“Anti-dust” Gas-burning Cooking Stora all these
objeetiime are entirely overcome, and, to our judg
ment, It approximates more nearly to perfection
than any other stove extant. It not only possesses
the admirable qualities' already described, but for
bsklng, broiling, boiling, stewing, and every other
description of cooking, It 1s as mnch superior to any
other cooking stove to use as te the passenger rail
way car over the old emnlbns.
On* important feature of these splendid Stoves is.
the fact that the; sift their, own ashes, by which,
process all the coal, even to the smallest partlfles,
Is saved for consumption, whloh, at the present high
rates of fuel, is a valuable consideration. Indeed,
It can be demonstrated that these celebrated Stoves
more than pay for their cost in the saving of fuel in
less than three yearß’ use. Besides this, the supe
rior cleanliness to an apartment which their use in
sures Is another greatadvantage, as not a particle of
dust can escape from raking. We make these state
ments from observation, having Been one of the Stoves
In question In operation at Mr. Spear’s Warerooms
yesterday, where the public can examine It for
themselves at all times. The whole Stove is, In*
deed, a wonderful piece of mechanism, and is at
once a credit to Its enterprising patenteo, and a achl
convenience to the people, who, by the way, are at
testing their appreciation of It in a practical man
ner, as the following extracts from letters received
by Mr. Spear will show:
wo. 1 [COPT].
Dowkihstowk, August, 1861.
Mr. James Spear;
Sbab Sib: Your“Anti-dnsf is the moot com
pletely arranged Cooking Store thatt I have ever
seen. Our draft Is not very good, and I was afraid
It would not do on that aooonnt, but It does admira
bly. I can bake three ovens thir without touching
the fire. Respectfully, W. U. E.
no. 2 [copy].
CUtABFIKLD, October, 1881.
Mr. James Spear; . .
Sib : Your “ Ant Must” Coot Stove was receive!
in good order. lam so well. pleased with. It that I
felt it a duty to let you Know it. I have used a great
many hinds of Cook Stoves, and lam assured that
yours has more merits than all the others combined.
The draft is perfect, and no stove could bake better,,
or do the work with so small a quantity of fuel,
Respectfully yours, p, J.
so. 3 [COPT].
Barbu Fobgb, Hontihodon, Bee., 1861,
Jamee Spear, Esq.;
I)bait Sir: 1 have had the large “Antidust”
cook stove, purchased from you last fall, In constant
use ever since, and have had no trouble whatever in

and am pleased to say that It la the cleanliest, and
decidedly the best cook stove that I,have ever nsed.
Enclosed please find eheokfor forty-eight dollars,
the amount, of the stove, which you will please
acknowledge, '
Very truly, yours, E. M. H.
The above are but a few of hundreds of testimo
nials equally strong that have been received by Mr,
Spear, which we have been permitted th read. In
conclusion, we would urge upon onr readers every
where, who may be In need of oooklng stoves, the
wisdom of vleltln’g’Mr. Spear’s ware-rooms, at Nos.
lliqand ills Market street, the acknowledged head,
quarters of the stove trade in Philadelphia. Per.
sons wishing to do so can order these stoves, in
either of the sizes, by mall, and have them forwarded
at Mr. Spear’s own risk as to their safe delivery;
indeed, he Is now dally receiving scores of orders In
this way, from all accessible partis of the Union.

of wine In France la supposed to .have-abated the
prevalence of the gravel. In the Frenoh eolonles,
where pure wine Is more used than iu-the English,
as well as In Turkey, where Samhurg port wine is
the principal beverage, not only the goat, bat the
gravel are scarcely known. - Dr. La-Pote relates, an
an extraordinary instance of the effects of the Sam

who' was attacked with the' gout at the age or 28, ;
god'had It Bevefely till ho was upw»ril*orso, with j
chalk-stones in the joints of his hand and feet, but
for four years preceding the time when his oasehad
been given to Dr. La Pote to lay bofore the pubUo,

no return of the gout afterward.— London Poet.

only to dealers at tie office of tie Florence Sewing

fires occur from the careless use of oommon matches.
Bats and mice set buildings in flames by carrying
matches into.'their hiding ' places. Barge 'fires
frequently oocur by rhatehes being trodden upon In
shops end factories where there is combustible ma
terial. Fire Marshal Blackburn, In ids last annual
report, mentions twenty, nine fires as having oc
curred In this city during the year 1864, from ohlldren
playing with matches. This would not have hap
pened had the Safety Matches been In use, as they
ean only be ignited by being brought in oontaot with
the prepared surface on the box. No amount of
rubbing oh thewalls, or even on sand paper, will
cause them to ignite. They emit a pleasant odor
when lighted, no sulphur Or phosphorus being a
part of their composition. They are quite as obeap
as the oommon matches; as there is every
match sure to ignite when brought in oohtaat with
tie box. These'matches we endorsed and recom
