MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1865.
THE SITUATION.
A shrewd remark is made by the Mon
treal Telegraph, a rebel paper in Canada,
that “ it is not so clear that a decisive rebel
victory would do more than cast a halo over
ultimate ruin." And who that watches the
onward wave of conquest, bearing Sher
man to Grant, can doubt that there
will be no u retiring ebb ?” There may be
an occasional check, but the mass of the
fighting men of the Republic is propelled
by irresistible forces. It is also invited to
go on and come on by the weakness of
the enemy in front, the dissension and
despair of the people of Richmond,
• and the open welcome of thousands
of the citizens of North Carolina. It is
not doubted that Gbaht has given large
aid to Shbrmah, : which was rendered
necessary by the fact that Lee had rein
forced Habijee and Johnston. Golds
boro is not, we think, in our possession.
In this surmise the National Intelligencer
agrees with us. Sherman seems to be
demonstrating on Raleigh. It .is im
possible to avoid the conclusion that
his magnificent campaign is sure to be sue.
cessfhl. The combinations are completed,
and now the comprehensive plan will be
disclosed like the working of a great ma
chine. It is evident that the enemy will
make a stand at Raleigh and at Golds
boro. Says the Army and Navy Journal :
<i our own advance from Newbem rather
than Wilmington was dictated’, pro
bably, by several reasons—partly iby
its greater proximity to Fortress Mon
roe, and its greater facility of communica
tion, both by land and water, with the North;
partly, perhaps, from the excellent naviga
ble condition of the -Neuse as far up as
Newbem; but'certain fromtlie fact that
our base at Newbem is much nearer Golds
boro than the base at Wilmington, the
distance being 54 miles in the former case,
and 80 in the latter. But, is Shbbman’b
army, after itß march of 500 miles, in con
dition to enter on the Waterloo cam
paign of the rebellion? Is it better
fitted for that purpose thau the ve
teran army of Lee itself? Sherman
briefly reports: ‘We are all well;’ and
the last utterances of the enemy on that
subject were: ‘The troops were under
strict discipline and orders, in the best
condition, well clothed, and well shod.
They marched as if they had just started
expedition, instead of having been
out for weeks.. The- general himself ap
peared in good spirits and confident of suc
cess.’ Wherever that army has marched
its drums have heat the music of victory.
Its leader now bursts into' the great field of
conflict to direct the grand campaign of
North Carolina. Schofield’s column is
already in circuitous communication with
Sherman, and before a week will be in
direct support. These two forces—num
bering more than 80,000 men—will be suf
~ ficient, directed by the genius and skill of
Sherman, to give the campaign a happy
termination."
The I.ast Resort.
Some of the most intelligent Southerners
who have left the Confederacy with the
crowd, of refugees who have lltely aban
doned that sinking ship, give a.curious
view of the future programme of the rebel
leaders. They affirm that it is in contem
plation, in the event of a continuance of the
disasters which have lately befallen their
cause, to move their army westward, to
cross to tlie trans-Mississippi Department,
and renew in Texas, and perhaps Northern
Mexico, their efforts to establish a great
empire under the protectorate of Louis
Napoleon. It is believed by them that
the astute Emperor of the French has en
couraged this scheme, having foreseen the
overthrow of the rebellion in the Atlantic
States since the opening of the Mississippi
and bi-section of the Confederacy by the
capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
That Napoleon is ignorant how deeply
the Monroe doctrine is imbedded in the
hearts of the American people, and how
seriously that sentiment is certain at some
future time to aflect his attempt t<f force a
European dynasty upon the Mexican Re
public, at a time when it was just success
fully emerging from a terrible conflict with
the Papal aristocracy which has so long
been the bane of that unhappy nation, is by
..no means probable. Count Mbrcieb was too
acute and able a diplomat to have left him in
ignorance on so important a subject. Under
the circumstances, a protecting belt of
friendly territory on Maximilian’s north
ern frontier becomes of incalculable import
ance to his shaky throne. The military and
political advantages which would result
from it are obvious. According to the
Richmond Dispatch, Kirby Smith has
eighty thousand effective men. Could Da
vis, Lee, and Johnston take thither a hun
dred thousand veterans, they would find
Texas overflowing with beef and bread
stuffs for the subsistence of their armies.
Horses and mules are plenty both there and
in Mexico, and can be grazed a great part
of the year. The French arsenals could
remedy the present inferiority of the'rebel
firearms by supplying breech-loaders, or
repeaters, and a French alliance might then
enable them to prolong the war through a
few more bitter years. That the uncon
querable spirit"?) f the Southern aristocracy
would make them eagerly adopt such a po
licy, should Napoleon offer a helping
hand when there is no longer hope of a
successful resistance to the Union forces,
east of the Mississippi, is beyond doubt.
"Whether the Emperor of the French enter
tains such a notion, and whether it would
be possible to carry any considerable part
of the rebel soldiery across the continent
and over a great river traversed by Union
gunboats, is not so clear; though Sher
man’s grand marches would seem to indi
cate the feasibility of all but the river cross
ing, and a Hannibal, a Marlborough, or
the great Napoleon might even have ac
complished that.
Political difficulties are the most likely
to deter Napoleon from open hostilities
•with us, though his covert hatred of our
cause has been, shown in many wavs. His
support of liberalism in Italy has been the
moßt popular measure of his imperial ca
reer. The Mexican scheme, on the Other
hand, is the detestation of a majority Of
his subjects. There is, besides, a deep
seated affection, dating from our own Re
volution, between the French nation and
thb American people, which it would be
dangerous for him to trample upon.
But speculation is idle. We have every
reason for hopefully awaiting future events,
for the mere discussion of such an extra
ordinary migratory scheme shows that dis
tance lends no enchantment to our view of
the desperate need of the rebellion.
Bebel Leaders Lost, Silent, or Missing.
The number of rebel chiefs that are hid
den away, or have taken themselves to
foreign lands and to parts unknown, is
legion. Stephens is strangely, silent, i/
not missing. Albert Pike is living among
the Indians on the borders of Arkansas.
Keitt is killed, or otherwise removed from
the scene. Howell Cobb, in his’late vio
lent speech—a sure premonition of his own
apoplexy and the paralysis of the rebellion
—was very bitter on the young bloods of
the South who had run away from the
war, and said they should never come
back, as if they were not too glad to stay.
Foot® is in London, showing up the rebel
chiefs with caustic candor. Pillow seems
to have laid hi& griefs on himself, and gone
quietly to sleep. We hear no more of the
truculent Iverson, of Georgia, nor of
Hammond, of South Carolina, who is
probably reflecting upon the prowess
of the Northern “mudsills” in their
conflict with the Southern chivalry. "Ward,
of Georgia, has not been heard of for a
year. Slidell is sunning himself in the
pleasaunces of Paris. ■ Mason is some
where drinking bad whisky with George
N. Sanders, who is supposed to have left
Canada with a gallinipper in his hat. Dud
ley Mann, in a French cafe, swings his
eye-glass in a maze of trouble, as he thinks
of his poverty and his rascality. Where is *
the illustrious Robert M. McLane, of Ma- •
ryland, who swore that the North should
never cross the border of the Susque
hanna ? Where is the fiery Fayette Mc-
Mullen, of Virginia ? We can fancy his
gold-headed cane, his fierce shrieks of
rage, and Ms rubicund physiognomy—-but
we do not read of them. Of Curry, of
Alabama, we hear no more. Of Bocock,
and Edmundson, Charles James Fox
Faulkneb, the gentle Botbleb, all of Vir
ginia, we hpar no rumor even; nor
yet of Burnett, of Kentucky; of the pli
ant Nicholson, of Tennessee; of Soule,
of Louisiana, and of the heavy, good
hearted George S. Houston, of Alabama,
who larded the lean earth about Washing
ton while representing his districtiia Con
gress. All silent, taciturn, or pissing.
Soon, too soon for those who have the re
bellion in charge, the silence and absence
of so many of the leaders will be broken
by the loud demand of the people of the
South for the end of the war and the resto
ration of the Union.
A Fair French View.
The Journal des Debats (Paris) of a re
cent date takes a very common-sense view
of the fate of the rebellion, and the destiny
of the Republic:
“The European Secessionist journals now hasten
to inform us that the Federal troops, masters of
Charleston, will also soon occupy, without probably
firing a shot, Wilmington and Richmond. Sens.
Bee and Beauregard, according.to these .journals,
have conceived a plan of campaign which- wiU re.
quire for its execution the preliminary evacuation
of all the cities of the South; so that what we took
yesterday, by mistake, fora grand victory for the
North, Is nothing but a cunning manoeuvre of the
tacticians of the South. We admit the proposition.
It suffices us to remark that the armies of the North
are dispensed from having recourse to any such pro
found strategy ; they nave never evacuated what they
have once taken, Lee and Beauregard may concen
trate their troops In the open field; they may thus
prolfng the military resistance of the South, just
as the Vendean chiefs in France prolonged that In
the West a long time afterthe Vendee no longer had
a political existence. Whenjhe Federal flag floats in
the large cities; when the Congress of Washington
shall have opened to commerce the ports of the Atlan
tic and the Gulf; when it shall have called together
conventions in all tics secession Stales to vote
a pure and simple return to the Union, in default of
conventions, shall have put in each county a marshal,
charged to administer the laws of the United States ;
when the Confederate Republic is contained entirely in
Ike comps of Lee and Beauregard, the cause of the re.
belswill be dead. The Northern troops will not heed
to go inseareh of Lee and Beauregard and to run the
risk of a defeat in a great battle. To finish with the
lest at my of the South , they need only to stand still and
allow time, misery, and, , more than all the rest, those
two inevitable agents of dissolution which generally ac
complish the ruin of defeated parties, the spirit of dis
cord and treason to do the work.”
The last sentences contain in brief space
the whole argument. How august a spec
tacle is the attitude of our country now,
when a great organ of public opinion in
Europe communicates truths which noth
ing can refute or resist! The Journal has
spoken the words of prophetic wisdom. --
We regard the great victory won be
fore Petersburg as of far more importance
in its indications than.even in to resnltß.
Fort Steadman, -was captured by a fierce
attack of the enemy, but scarcely had the
rebels gained it before they were driven
out, with a total loss of three thousand
killed and wounded, and nearly three thou
sand captured. It was not always that
the easily relinquished their
conquests. The completeness of their
reverse shows how thoroughly their spi
rit has been broken. Of the twenty
seven hundred men captured, probably one
half courted their fate. In ordering this
attack Lee was .urged by the necessity of
making some movement that" shbuld en
courage his army, but Ms overwhelming
and speedy defeat will only serve to' in
crease the disaffection of his troops.
Arrest or thb Mayob oy Albany yob Fbaud
ulbnt Hbtubns oy Income.—We find the follow
lug -item Id this morning’s Albany Express:
“Upon the complaint of Messrs. W eot and Rlogs
ley, attorneys ana counsellors, Mr. Ell Perrv was
yesterday arrested on a warrant Issued by United
States Commissioner Frotbingbam, charging htm
with making fraudulent returaßqf Ms income for
the year 1883. Mr. F. put- In a denial, and filed a
rcorgnizftr.ee to appear at a future day for an ex

My Perry has been Mayor of Albany for over
eleven years, and is reputed to be a very wealthy
man.— Tray Times, March 21.
We referred on Saturday in our leader to
the habit of making fraudulent returns of
incomes under the Revenue Law ; and now
that oor Assessors and Collectors have had
an example set to them how to proceed
against all such delinquents, we hope they
will not hesitate to follow it. The Mayor
of Albany is gratefully opposed, to paying
any tax to a Government that fights for its
own life and his property at one and the
same time.
The New York Tribune's Washington
correspondence, in which there is a reported
examinationof General Robert E. Lee,
the rebel commander, by a committee of
the rebel Senate, and in wMch Lee gives
up the fight, is not so far from the reality
as it would have seemed to be a few months
ago. It may be purely imaginary, but we
think it will prove to be singularly pro
phetic.
It is note-worthy that while beef and
veal command forty cents a pound, eggs
thirty-five cents a dozen, chickens $2.25 a
pair, rock-fish tMrty cents a pound, in the
Philadelphia markets, at Lancaster, in tMs
State, a little over a two-hours ride distant
from this city, beef and veal are had for
twenty cents, eggs twenty cents, cMekens
$1,50 a pair, rock-fish ten . cents a
pound, &c. -

LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, March 26,1865.
If any one requirfcs a hew reason for be
lieving that the Government is sure and'
soon to overwhelm the rebellion, let him
stop at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
and Fifteen-and-a-half street, in this city,
and talk with the deserters who come into
our lines daily, and are sent to Washing
ton by General Grant, where, after taking
the oath of allegiance, they are pud for
their arms, generously entertained, and set
to such work as they prefer and have been
accustomed to. They are hardy and de
termined men, many of them being very
intelligent, and all of them disgusted with
their leaders and tired of a war which is
as much without a definite object on the
part of these leaders as it is without the
slightest prospect of success. It is need
less, after hearing their narratives, to enter
into calculations as to, when peace is to
come, or to embarrass ourselves with doubts
of its coming at all. “How can you ex
pect,” said a non-commissioned ex-rebel
officer a few days ago, “the poor people
and the- poorer soldiers to be satisfied or
pleased with ruin, when the men who
started this fight are sick of it themselves ?
Can we be united and happy without food,
clothes, shoes, or even covering from the
storm, when they, in their own houseß,
with something to eat, slight as it is, and
‘ something to wear,’ are miserable and
full of hate of each other ? "You may call
me what you please, you cannot call
me or my - companions cowards, for
we have fought you in many a hard
conflict; and we are not traitors when we
leave a cause .which we have at last dis
covered was bad from the first 1” Here
we have two elements agreeing—though
both professedly antagonistic—that the Go
vemment has practically triumphed; but
the one gives up the contest by throwing
down or transferring its arms, while the
other insists on more blood and, death!
The ceaseless mustering of troops by the
Government—the eager volunteering in all
the States under the last call of the Presi
dent—the raids in Alabama, Georgia, and
South Carolina—the coming capture of
Mobile—the whole Southern" coast her.
metically sealed to the blockade-runners—
the advance of Sherman—the preparations
for a new excursion by Sheridan, and the
stern and solid front of Grant, every day
growing sterner and stronger, may probably
induce the Southern despots to agrje in
deed, as they do in words, with the thou
sands who are coming into the protecting
haven of the Union of their fathers. If
they needed another inducement, they
might turn from this grim aspect of War
as we have shown it to them, to the
smiling front of Peace, as it stands before
them in the proffer of President Lincoln.
They will soon be compelled to choose
between the two. Occasional.

[Special Correspondence of Tbe Press. J
City Point (Va), Marob 24.
About an hour ago, (eight o'clock this morning,)
a detachment of demounted cavalry, from Genera!
Sheridan’s oommand, reached here In transports,
via the York river, from White House. They were
compelled to come in this way, in consequence of
their horses being used up in the late raid, other
wise they might as.well have ridden directly across
the Peninsula, no enemy being there to intercept
them. Several of General Sheridan’S staff officers
accompanied them. 1 They represent the army to be
in the. best of spirits, and Intimate that in a few
days we shall have more stirring news from It.
Sheridan is merely giving the men a rest, nntll he
can bring up his supplies, when he will resame the 1
war path. The detachment numbered twelve hun
dred men, all very bronzed and dusty.
A scout who came Into Gen. Grant’s headquarters
last evening, reports from actual observation that
the rebels are making preparations to evacuate
Petersburg, it does not follow, however, that they
mil evacuate without a battle. In sending off all
surplus baggage, and all “portable property” of
value, not essential to the defence of the city, they
may he merely aeting the part of discretion—strip
ping for the contest, as it wore.
Last evening two bright fires, apparently within
the rebel lines, were visible to the northwest of this
point. Every evening these fires are observed at
various points, 1 What they mean cannot be
guessed.
Deserters who came In yesterday, to the number
of 110, report, as a rumor current in the rebel army,
that Jeff Davis had. resigned. It Is probably
nothing more than a rumor. There are likewise
stories afioat, hut scarcely worth repeating, to the
effect that Lee has again sought to have a personal
Interview with Grant, to arrange terms of peace.
The hardest blow we have had here for years,
amounting to a miniature hurricane, oosurrod yes
terday. The damage done was considerable; and
the shipping In the bay must have suffered severely.
Here a Bohooner was sunk, and about half the trans
ports were torn from their moorings and knocked
aground. Dp jslong the lines huge trees werer
snapped off, tents were blown sky-high, and It is
said that several lives were lost in the “ wreck- of
matter.”
City Point has been divided Into five districts,
each placed In charge of a lieutenant, whose duty it
Is to see that all filth and garbage Is removed, and
perfect cleanliness maintained. The measnre.ls
ohlefiy a sanitary one, and was put Into effeot "by
General Collls, commandant of this post.
An order has been issued forbidding purveyors to
sell to sutlers, and the latter, it is said, will soon
Lave to “leave the service” entirely.

IT. S. Gbant, Lieut. General.
The enemy attaoked my frost this morning, at
about 4 so o'clock, with three dltdslonS under com.
mand of General Gordon. :
By a sudden rush they seised the line held by the
3d Brigade, Ist Division, at the . foot- Of the hill to
the right of Fort Steadman, wheeled, and over
powering the garrison, .took- possession of the fort.
They established themselves on the hill, turning
our guns upon ns. Our troops on either flank stood
firm.
Soon after a determined attack was made on Fort
Haskell, held by a part of McLaughlin’s, brigade,
Wilcox's division, and was repulsed, with groat loss
totheenemy.
The lßt Brigade of Hartranlt’s division, held In
reserve, was brought up and a check given to any
further advance. One or two attempts to retake,
the hill were made and were only temporarily sue
cesslul, until the arrival of the 2d Brigade, when a
charge was made by that brigade, aided by the
troops of the Ist Division on either flank, and the
enemy were driven out of the fort with the loss .of a
number orptlsoners, estimated at about 1,800. Two.
battle-flags have also been brought In. The enemy
also lost heavily In killed outside of oar lines.
The whole line was Immediately reoooupled, and
the guns retaken uninjured.
I regret to add that General McLaughlin was
oapturedln Fort Steadman. Our loss was other

Newbbkn, N. C., March 18,1865.
On the fourteenth lnstanithe advance of General
Sherman’s army left Fayetteville, and on the six
teenth the last of his columns filed bnt of the town.
To-morrow or next day his fight wing, under How
ard, Is expected to touch and his left or
centre to occupy Goldsboro. A 'great number of
officers belonging to his army are here, and will
probably go forward to-morrow to Kinston to rejoin
their commands. ' ,
The mail from Sherman’s army, £ am told, reached
onr lines to-day, and amounts to two thousand
bushels of letters. What a literary ar my wehave !
The Bteamer Mystlcus, which was started up the
river yesterday, partly as an experiment, after go
ing thirty miles, ran upon some shags placed In the
river by the rebels, and Sunk,. Her crew were all
saved. The Mystlcus had |m board some horses,
most of whloh were rescued, and a'small quantity of
rations for the army, which was lost.
Nbwbebn, March 20,1865.
The most striking report ¥bibh has reached this
point within a few days Is that of-the evacuation of
Goldsboro and Raleigh, and Uis retreat of the rebels
In the direction of Hillsboro, on the North
Carolina Central Railroad, forty to fifty miles from
Goldsboro. The fall of Goldsboro and Raleigh has,.
of course, been expected; but the direction which'
the rebels have taken In thelri’withdrawal, suggests
a new meaning to their movements. It is believed
that Bragg jotted Jobneton after, disappearing from
Schofield’s front at Kinston, and that Johnston had
been reinforced from Hood’s, vagrant army. This
is the tale told by deserters, and a junotlon Of the
rebel forces upon the flank op Sherman Is the most
apparent meaning of the reportthat they have
withdrawn In the direction*of Hillsboro, Instead of
being driven on towards Richmond.
That Sherman bias reached Goldsboro hasbeen not
yet officially stated, and othprannounoementa must
be considered premature. This evening or to-mor
row morning his arrival Is expected, but it is not
known that any body of his troops, or more than
soouts and a few cavalry forerunners, have touched
the road between Kinston and Goldßboro, The
reported evacuation of Raleigh and Goldsboro 1b
one Indication of Sherman’s speedy arrival on the
line of communication. Every preparation has
been made to entertain him by the diligent quarter
masters and eommlssarles of the army, and all the
machinery of supply and equipment promises soon to
be perfect and at hand. The Railroad Is now com
plete and In operation to Kinston, and Is being
rapidly built miles beyond, Sherman, it Is not to
he doubted, Is at least within aommunloatlng dis
tance of the forces of Sehofield,J
The business of preparation for the advance of
Sherman to Goldsboro has bden noiseless, but is
nevertheless extensive. Boats and barges are In
dally progress np the river to Kinston, and except
ing the sinking of the Mystlous, which struck a snag
a few days ago, there has been. no aoeident, and. Is
no danger, despite a timid rumor ol the existence of
torpedoes. The harbor of Morehead is full of ;shlp

GOLDBBOBO—FULL BWFPLIEB SENT TO SHERMAN.
Nbwbnbn, N. G., Maroh 21.—Since the advanoe
of General Schofield's army from Kinston yester
day we have no additional news of importance,
parties from the front say that cannonading was
distinctly heard all day on Snnday at Kinston,
which Indicated an engagement at Goldsboro be
tween General Sherman and the enemy. This is
not oredlted at headquarters, where we are In
formed General Sherman oould not have reached
at that time. ,
The report received atheadquartera that a brigade
of the enemy, with their artillery, were on that day
endeavoring to out their way through to our lines,
and deliver themselves up, may be true, and this
cannonading may be the conflict going on among
themselves.
Although unable to proeure any Information at
headquarters as to where General Sherman is, for
obvious reasons, still it Is announced that he is all
light, and that, great quantities of supplies have
gone forward to him.
A rebel officer says that General Sherman Is ex
ecuting at once two bold movements, each of which
will brlDg forth results of great importance If he la
successful, of which, he sayß, there Is not muoh.
doubt.
Colonel J. T. Conklin, chief quartermaster of
General Sherman’s right wing, arrived here a few
days since, and has been actively engaged in for
warding supplies to General Sherman. AH the
avenues for oarrying supplies to Newborn have been
taken possession of for the benefit of the public ser
vice. This increases the great necessity of reopen
ing the port of Newborn, which the authorities all
favor.
A population of over 200,000 depend on this olty
for their dally supplies, all of whom In a short time
must be fed by the Government If this port is not
Immediately opened, which will sarlonsly embar
rass the movements of our armies. The 30, 000 re
fugees whom Gen. Sherman has sent to Wilming
ton, and the great numbers arriving here from all
quarters, make It a military necessity-to reopen at
once both Wilmington and Newbern as ports of
entry.
. An older from General Schofield, dated the 18th
Instant, says that all officers now In this olty be
longing to the command of Major General Sherman
will proceed at once by rail to Kinston, and report
In person for orders to the commanding general's
headquarters In the field.
Outsiders are of the general belief that General
Sherman is at Goldsboro, but of oonrse it is all
speculation with them.

A Champagne Supper by Gen. Singleton

The Richmond papers of the 23d Inst, give the
following Items of news :
A despatch dated Augnsta, March 20, gives ad
vices from the northern border of the State, to the
effect that Glllem has been reinforced by Thomas
with cavalry, at Knoxville, Toon., preparatory, It
is thought, for a move into Southwestern. Virginia.
Thbmsß has garrisoned Tunnel Hill and Chatta
nooga with three leglmknts at each place. Three
email regiments of negroes, Dutch, and Irish are at
Bridgeport, and two regiments at Stevenson. The
garrisons are very Bmall from Stevenson to Hunts
ville: The rest of Thornes’ army Is at Huntsville,
Decatur, and Eastport. Ronssean has five brigades
In Middle Tennessee, scouring the country for sup
plies and recruits.
Under the ssme date we read that the Yankee
prisoners have been removed rrom Oahawba to
Hein a, Ala., on acoount of the high water flooding
the country so that supplies oould not reach them.
The garrison at Pensacola was six thousand strong
tn'the Bth. The preparations continue for opera
tions on Mobile and Selma.
The South. Carolinian of the 17th states that East
Fascagonla, Fla, has been burned by the Federal!.
It also says: “We learn that about three weeks
ago, ..Colonel fOllnch, t f the 4th Georgia Cavalry,
and a party of his men daßhed Into Fort MoAlllster,
at Genesis Folnt, and captured the working lorce of
negroes engaged In dismantling the work, about
forty were brought away, together with a number of
horses. It will be remembered that this was the
first point struck by Sherman on reaching the coast,
and that it gave him a commanding base for subsa.
quent operations. The Heat opening fire on Colonel
Clinch and his party prevented the work from being
held, had it been designed to do so.”
The Richmond Examiner of the 22d gives the sub
joined notice of Gen. Singleton. It first : quotes
fjomthe Cincinnati Commercial as follows:
“ Gen. Sin gleton, of Illinois, curiously enough, la
a warm personal friend of President Lincoln. Hsnoe
his passes to Richmond, and peculiarities lu gene
ral. Now, if the rebels should hang him, the mea
sure of poetical justice, in his case, .would be com
pletely tilled,” and then says:
Bang him! On the contrary,the “rebels” are
cherishing this Yankee speculator, courting hi? ac
quaintance, and hoping for the honor of Invitations
to a great entertaiTwieht he'is about to give, and far
which he is said to have expressly imported the chars,
pagne. One might suppose this Singleton was not
only a friend of Mr. Lincoln, but a friend of Mr.
Davis, too; for be'can go and oome.at pleasure
throogh our llnes,.and run what he pleases through
the blockade-a thing which very few Confederates
have Interest enough to do.
The Fayetteville Observer, speaking of the demo
ralization of rebel soldiers and lts causes, Bays
An officer now at home on aooonnt of. a severe
wound received In battle, was speaking of this a
lbw days ago, and told ns how often the best and
'most oheerful soldiers returned gloomy and discon
tented to camp after a furlough. He said that on
remonstrating with one of his men, an acquaintance
from his own county, he had succeeded In dispelling
hu gloom, when the mas apologized for it, remark
ing that “ the fact is that if Jeff Davis were to go to
the settlement and stay three weeks, Pm sure,
he, too, would desert.”
The Charlotte (N. O.) Bulletin contains a letter
from Colonel Lee M. McAfee, of the 49th North
Carolina regiment, In whloh there Is still further
evidenoe of the evil effect produoedupon the sol
diers by the unpatriotic and disgraceful sugges
tions with which they are tormented from croaking
and disloyal persons at home. A plot having been
made for the simultaneous desertion of a number of
soldiers belonging to his regiment, Colonel McAfee
fortunately became apprised of .their infamous pur
pose, and arrested nearly the whole of them. The
more guilty are under guard, and about to be tried
for their lives.
Great fears for the Commissary Department of
the rebel army are expressed by the Richmond
papers, as it Is feared that the farmers will plant
very small crops.

Mr. Fitzgerald called attention to Colonel Jervis’
report of the Canadian defences. He disclaimed
any intention to attribute to the Foderals or to the
people generally a spirit of hostility towards Eng
land. we should not disregard a certain proposal
made during the recent conference between the
Confederates and Foderals. It was Important to
look to the Canadian defences in the event of war,
and we ought to come to an Immediate under
standing-with Canada as to the proportion that
England should bear of the cost of its means of de
fence. -
Mr. Foster believed that the fear of hostilities
was nnreassnable and utterly groundless, and
protested against the expanse for the defence of
Canada*
Mr. Caldwell assured the House that our rela

hut the Government was prepared to defend Ca
nada.
Mr. Disraeli thought Canada should be properly
defended.
Mr. Lowe said the most effectual course, In tho
event of Canada becoming the battle ground,
wonld be to concentrate a force upon some other
point. We had bettor lot Canada know the truth,
and not buoy her up with false expectations, while
we provoked America with a standing menace.
The wisest court e would be to withdraw all the
troops at once.
Mr. Watkins said, to prevent war, England should
declare Canada a part of tho British Empire, and
defend It.
Mr. Bright said the root of these misunderstand
ings was a feeling of jealousy entertained in Eng
land towards the American nation. Every one
knew that England canid not hold Canada In case
ol a war. What would England have Wald if she
had suffered as the Amerloans have from the Ala
bama.
Lord Palmerston denied that England was jea
lous, and believed there was good feeling towards
England among the great bulk of the Amerloans.
Doubtless the North and South have some feeling
for our non-eaponsal of their cause, but this was no
reason why we should not place Canada In a state
of defenee. He conld not agree with Mr. Lowe. It
was not for the Government to follow his advice, as
the relations between England and America were

HANGING OF BOBEHT COBB KENNEDY, THE REBEL
SPY AMD BOTBL-BURNBE—HIS BXTBAOEDINABY
COOLNESS AND ABANDON ON THE GALLOWS—AN
INTBHBSTZNG NABBATIVE.
Robert Cobb Kennedy, who was recently con
victed as a rebel spy, and ss the incendiary who fired
Barnnm’s Museum? New York, last November, w%
hung at Fort Lafayette on Saturday afternoon last.
There were hut few spectators present, and they the
garrison of the fort and the bounty-jumpers con
fined there. At five minutes of 1 o’olock he was
apprised by Colonel Burke (tho commandant),
Marshal Murray, and Ms deputy, that the time
(or death had arrived. He was -seated at a table
writing at the time, and General Beale (the rebel
officer now on parole to provide supplies for rebel
prisoners), Captain Wilson, and Chaplain Ruske of
Fort Hamilton, were standing near him. Kennedy
received bis visitors coolly, stating that he knew
what their errand was. He then turned to two re
porters who were present, asktng them to do full
justice to his memory; gave a pipe he prized muoh
to bo sent to bis mother, bade farewell to his friends,
ar. d turning to the company said : “ This la hard for
you d—d Yankees to treat me this way; I, have been
irregular soldier-.” The executioner now began to
blue Bennedy’s arms, -"While this.was: In progress
Kennedy asked General Beale for a handkerchief,
and used It. When the black cap was placed upon
Ms head, he asked, “ Am I going to wear this thing
to thegallowsl” The answer. “Yes.” The prepara
tlonß being now complete, the procession formed in
line, and as It passed ont of the cell door,' Kennedy
turned to General Beale, with tho remark: “ This Is
a cowardly murder.”
When the gallows was reached, the 17th Regu
lars, whloh acted as guard,-was. drawn up on each
side the scaffold, while the brokers and bounty
jumpers who had been marched out, stood In the
back-grcund, the brokers slightly in advance of
their victims.
The first act nnder the gallows was the reading of
the findings and sentence of the oonrt martial whloh
convicted Kennedy, with the order of General Dix
confirming the sentence. Daring this ceremony,
whloh was performed by Captain French, the pri
soner preserved his composure, occasionally smiting
or breaking out .Into sueh.iexpresstons as those:
“ A d—d lie I” (referring to the charge of belog a
spy.) “ That Isn’t a crime, is it?” (referring to the
charge of being in the rebel army.) The reading ’
of the death sentence having been ooneluded, Ken
nedy sals, In a loud voloe: “ Gentlemen! this la
murder.” At the conclusion of th’o'prayer, the
clergyman knelt in front of the prisoner, and
offered a touching plea In his behalf. Kennedy,
still standing, looked down upon Ms spiritual guide
and made no remark until the end of the supplica
tion. Dr. Euske then|shook Kennedy’s hand, bade
him farewell, and implored Mm to act as a man and
a Christian, Kennedy bowed in response to this
appeal, and then calling to Colonel Burke, said :
” Colonel, send me a drink before I go 1”
Tbe clergyman retiring, Kennedy again spoke in
a lend voice, as follows: -
u I oonsldar tMs-a judicial, brutal, cowardly mur
der. There was no occasion for the United States
Government to condemn me.”
Pausing fora moment, he said: 11 Tell my friends”
—the sentence remained, unfinished. The execu
tioner here came forward to adjust the noose.
Turning to Colonel Burke, he said: “Colonel!
come here, please.”
Marshal Murray here stepped up to Kennedy, laid
his hand upon his shoulder, snd remarking, “One
moment,” checked him, while the attending clefgy
han opened the Book of Common Prayer, and be
gan to read the service for the condemned.
Kennedy, standing bareheaded and with pinioned
arms, listened respectfully, frequently using a wMte
pocket handkerchief with dlfftoult efforts of fats left
hand. A deatMy silence prevailed, broken only by
the clear voice of the clergyman, a venerable man,
who was visibly affected. Kennedy then suddenly
broke out with the following verse, which he sang In
a loud, clear voice, to a rollicking Irish Mr, and
with a touch of the brogue:
"Truit to luck ! trust to luck !
„ glare fete in thefaee;
For the Mart will be atsy
, If it’s In the right place. ”
The verse had hardly been finished when the slg
nal was given, and the cord was out, Che weight fell, '
and Kennedy sprang .Into the air, dylog almost in
stantly, the sudden violence of the shock having
broken Ms peek. After hanging for twenty minutes
the body was lowered, life was declared extinct, and
the remains, placed In a common stained pine cof
fin, were delivered to Kennedy’s friends.
. The end of this man befitted his profane, impeni
tent lire. Even on the scaffold he-was Intoxicated,
as hU thick speech and unsteady gait evidenced.
He was a Deist, believing in a Supreme Being, but
In notMng else—not even a future state. The
sight before Ms death.was spent In writing and
directing envelopes containing fats photograph.

Mr. J. T. Ford, the the
theatre that bears bit name in «“ Oity ctf Washing
ton, and aIBO of the Holliday, in Baltlmora. gavo
Philadelphia a glimpse last Friday and »»tarday
evenings of his “Italian Opera Company, at the
Academy of Music. Of Friday’s performance ws
spohe in our last number. Aubor’s “Fra Dlajolo,
on Saturday night, was splendidly rendered to a
fashionable and orowded audience. It was very re
freshing, after our protracted, and yet pleasant feast
of German Opera, to he regaled with the lighter
and more familiar melodies of the sensuous Italian
school. Weare not yet educated to the one, while
we have been educated and accustomed to the
other. Both are delicious, hut the Italian S the
favorite, and recalls names and harmonies which
hare for many years been spoken with praise
and listened to with pleasure. The English Opera
was only popular when it repeated the music of
the great Italian composers; but the vernacular of
these masters is always the best medium, when ut
tered by native artists, or those roared to
the language and to the melody amid the
scenes in which they flourished. Even the
greatest German operas are believed to be best
presented by the Italians. But this is debatable
ground. Miss Kellogg, of New .York, who, after a
thorough oulture in the profession, and many rare
personal and social advantages, captivated the most
orltlcal audience the first night she sang In public,
gained new honors as Zerlina on Saturday evening.
Her experience and her success are proofs of what
we have said of the lasting and elastic character of
Italian muslo. She is not the mere passive echo of
her part, but the aotress as well; gentle and yet arch
In her style, graceful yet quick in her movements,
and full of her avocation. One ceases to wonder at
the power of these marvellous lyrics when Illus
trated by a voloe so exquisite and a form so winning
We regret that so much poetry and talent is too
often, in the course or nature and of time, lost In the
prose of wedded life, for those lovely ladles aro al
ways spirited oil in the very flush of their fame.
We could have wished to see Col. Stebbins, of Now
York, at the Academy on Saturday, to share with
his lovely prollgf the rapturous enthusiasm she
awakened'. That noble gentleman has done mauy
good aots, but none which redounds more to his
credit than that which assisted and developed the
ambitions and precocious genius of this unequalled
artist. M’Ue Morensi (another American, by Iff
way), beautiful and classic as ever, was In excellent
condition, and was warmly applauded, and Signor
I.ottl was most happy. Great laudation was be
stowed on Bellini and Doflnl. There was general
surprise that Mr. Ford could only favor Phila
delphia with two nights of opera; bat there is good
ground for hope that he will engage the company
for a longer period, and send them to us for a
series of nights, some weeks hence. They will he
warmly greeted and profitably compensated In
Washington, where they open to-night.
At the Naw Ohestkut street Tebatks
(Grover A Sinn) the local drama, “The Work
men' of Philadelphia, .or, The Curse of Drink,”
is still played to crowds, afternoon and night.
It is filled with useful admonitions, and Is a
very striking display of the -talent of the paint
ers and the enterprise of the managers. Tues
day night Is appropriated to a benefit for Mr. Gar
diner, the business agent; and Wednesday after,
noon and evening to a benefit for Mr. Howls Baker,
the stage manager—both excellent and -deserving
gentlemen. They offer very attractive bills.

with pleasure. She has a capital stock company,
and her stars are all bright ones.
Mbs. Garrbtsom’s WAhMUT-STfiBBT Theatre
has had a wonderful run of good houses daring the
engagement of Mr. J. S. Clarke, and this week
Mrs G. gives np her popular house to some of her fine

CITY ITEMS.
New Supply of Corsets at Reduced Prices.—
The article of “Corsets” has become a conspicuous
feature in the trade of Mr. John M, Finn, southeast
corner of Arch and Seventh streets. We have now
to announce that within the past few days, when
gold touched its lowest figures, Mr. Finn purchased
a large lot of Corsets at such a reduction as will
enable him to supply his oußtomers with ail grades
at unusually reasonable rates. The, following dif
ferent qualities are comprised in his new stock:
American Corsets. —. $l.BO per pair.
French Cane Corsets 1.75 do.
French Whalebone Sorsets 3.00 do.
CannStattCorsets 2.35 do.
Second Quality, Embroidered Top
Corset? 3 75 do.
First Quality, Embroidered Top Cor
sets ;. 450 do.
Embroidered Top and Front Corsets. 550 do.
It will be seen that there are material reductions
from former prices, while the quality of the corsets
are such as to render an examination of them by
purchasers desirable in every respeot.
EARASOLB AMD PAR ASOLBTTEB.
We would also invite attention, in this connection,
to Mr. Finn’s elegant line of para3ols, metal'
framed, bugle. trimmed, Chenille-fringed and ruffled,
and children’s paiasolettes,all of which have also
been reduced in price. The same is true, in fact, of
his stock in general. Don’t forget the location, S.
E. corner of Arch and Seventh streets.
The Safety of On. Stocks. —With all the losses
that accompanied the rscerit heavy decline In the
premium on gold, many advantages have restated
from the great fall. It has afforded the public an
opportunity of judging better of the Intrlnßle
value of various articles of merchandise, and
tested to the utmost the real, worth of stocks of
every description. The stress upon the markets was
the severest that has been felt for many years, http
nothing bore np with more firmness against It than
the shares of good petroleum companies. Oil
stocks, which for months past have been quoted at
mere nominal prices, fell off but a trifle during the
great storm, and have already rallied to former
figures. The Philadelphia National Petroleum
Company offers to persons wishing to become
holders of good oil stock Inducements that cannot
be claimed by any other company Issuing shares at
25 cents each, 'it is similar In organisation mid
otherwise to the Philadelphia Mutual, the stock
of which was originally purchased at 25 cents per
share, and Is now worth 50. The. Philadelphia
National Company owns 192 acres of land lu the
most valuable portion of Yenango county, and
In the vicinity of the great Kunkle and Sugar
Creek Wells. This property can now be dis
posed of at an immense profit to the company,
but the immense wealth to be derived from Its re
sources Is known, and the grand success of the en
terprise is considered certain. There-can be no
doubt of the stock of the Philadelphia National ad
vancing In valne, end we advise persons desiring a
safe investment to seonre shares In it at the original
price, 25 cents per share. Subscription books will
remain open at the banking house of Harper, Dun
ney, & Co., No. 55 South Third street, a few days
longer.

Coming to aw End.— Unless all signs fail, the
war is coming to an end very rapidly. The last
vestiges of the rebel armies are gathering around
Blchmond, and the cohorts of Grant, Sherman,
Schofield and Sheridan are closing In upon them.
Into the breaches of the works about the rebel capi
tal the blue coats will pour, and make short work of
the rebellion. Speaking of coats and breeches re
minds ns of the fact that the beet and the most ele
gant articles of that kind are those made at the
Brown Stone Clothing Hall or Rookhlil & Wilson,
Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth.
Make a note of the fact.
