. . England and tUe Slave Trade.
It is far from improbable that England,
■Whose present policy is to diminish taxa
tion by diminishing expenditure, will soon
her , paval. and other "establish
ments, so ilong maintained, at great cost,
•on the Western Coast of Africa, for the
prevention and suppression of the Slave
Trade. The question'was lately brought
before the - House of Commons, and a
Select Committee of inquiry was ap-
pointed.. It was .contended that the Bri-
tish settlements in the west of Africa had
been practically useless in suppressing the
slave trade—any diminution in that traffic
■' which had taken place being really caused
by a diminution in the demand for slaves,
and not by the efforts which had been
made to puf it down, and it was urged that -
“the policy of taxing England for the pur
pose of civilizing savage tribes in Africa,
was unjust, even if the prospect of the
desired result was not hopeless.”
One of the ablest among British states
men, at once thoughtful and far-seeing, is
Lord Stanley, eldest son of the Earl of
Derby., Thirteen years ago, he was Foreign
"Under-Secretary, during his father’s first
premiership, and subsequently presided over
the affairs of the Colonies and of India, in
ISoB-’59. Althoughnot yet forty years old,
Lord Stanley has been nearly seventeen
years in the House of Commons, and there
js every prospect of-his one day being
prime minister. His. ability and: position
give him much influence in Parliament.
"His declaration, upon the subject of trying
to suppress the slave trade, by forcible
means, is simply this, that English blood
and treasure are annually wasted, very
extensively, in doing little good, and a
great deal - of harm—that any debt which
England owed to Africa which was to be
redeemed by efforts to suppress the slave
trade had been amply paid—that, as re-
garded the question of civilizing Africa, il
would he better to look at home—and that
’ the time had arrived when the system must
be inquired into, : with a view of reconside
ring its policy; What he said was loudly
cheered,'which indicates the tone of the
House of Commons on the subject, and Mr.
Cardwell, ‘the Colonial Secretary, inti
mated, on the part of the British Govern
ment, that every facility would be given to
make the inquiry complete and searching;
.The expense of trying to suppress the slave
trade ought to be diminished, he said,' but,
at the: .same time, increased efficiency in
carrying out that, object .ought to : be' ob
tained. :../l'. v: ■’
Nearly sixty years ago, England distin
guished herself by abolishing the Slave.
Trade, which, up to that time, -had permis-
Bively existed. Nearly thirty years later,
negro slavery was ' extinguished in all
IBritish territory. The nation , paid the
large sum of £20,000,000 to effect this. One
result was, it gave England a right to re
monstrate with other countries, and to ob
tain their co-operation to suppress the
Slave Trade. Although the South re
tained the “ institution ” of Slavery, this
country has co-operated (very effectively,
at-times,) with»Engiand, in: the - much-de
sired object. -But England has gone toby
far the largest cost. To maintain the
African squadron costs not only money but
men. The fearful climate is dreadfully
fatal to the officers and sailors, and the
sacrifice of life, for very uncertain results,
is naturally objected to. The question has
beemput—might not the money expended i
to benefit the Africans be more properly
applied to civilize hundreds and thousands
- who live within a mile of' the Parliament
Houseitself? .
It is doubtful whether Lord Palmerston
may be disposed to give up the African
squadron,.so long upheld by him as a hu
mane necessity, but the feeling in the
House of Commons, which no statesman
can safely ignore or oppose, is against
maintaining it. England, by her late sym
pathy with the South, has unequivocally
• shown herself so remarkably tolerant of
slavery, that her ceasing to resist it, on the
African coast, maybe taken as an expected
/ result. The serious consideration" is—
whether the Slave Trade will not increase
r in the absence of the efficient force which
lias hitherto endeavored to suppress it?
The Mexican question is one of the
teresting problems of the times.' Many of
our most patriotic thinkers contend that:
Irie Government instituted by Louis Na
3Poleon will prove to be far. more advan
tageous to the people Mexico than if
they had been left to the tortures of their
own chronic and bloody dissensions. In
the latter "event, it is more than probable
that .their country would'have become a
hiding-place or stamping-ground for the
rebels, in which to repair their injuries,
So as to renew and continue their warfare
upon the Government of the United States.
These views ‘ are shared by many intelli
gent statesmen, and are evidently not
without their influence upon Louis Na
poleon himself;
Cost, of Xlving.
. . Complaints are made of the cost of living,
from high rents and dear: provisions, and
will.be made until prices come down. As
to rents—they are kept np by the paucity
of houses “To be Lett? Persons who
own houses put them into the market for
sale, in order to get rid of them, just as any
one would gladly get rid of the traditionary
elephant. The truth is, the " vast increase
of the City Debt, carrying with it a certain
and increasing augmentation of city "taxa
tion, has rendered house-property so much
the reverse of remunerative, that rentals do
not yield'the legitimate income usually ex
pected from and heretofore given by real
estate; For a time, those who made
money during this war—a great deal has
been made,"and much of it very fairly-,
in the gratification of pur
charing house-property. This demand, as
well as the depreciation in paper money,'
Sent up the price, and then came,
of: course, an increase in house-rents.
In every street in this city, and
5n other large cities, houses were: pla
carded as up for sale—so. many, indeed,
that the demand may be said to have now ;
, been supplied. As far as we can judge,- the
tide Ms turned, owing to the heavy city
tees, and the owners of houses will speed
ily seek to get rid of them, for less than
they gave, rather than be perpetually
ting their hands into their pockets, to meet
thiß or that public demand. Already, house
agents are free to confess, rents arc coming
hack to what they were before the war, and
there is an increase in the number of houses
to be let.- If inquiry be made at the houses
placarded as for "sale, it will be found that
.-about two out of every five are to be Tented,
and this because people do not 'any longer
• desire to purchase a property which is sub
ject to a constant, inevitable, and steadily
jncfeasing drain, in the shape of taxation.
House rents, then, are in due course of'
reduction, and , a few ‘month's will effect a
considerable decline in that item of living.
Se fall in gold has lowered the cost of
>, which is another heavy item of
Mexico. ■,
. * V
manufactuiethat these'willbecome-. much'
lower, for there'happily,is.such a thing as
a protective tariff,’ but articles of home pro
duction, (and wc can have them quite as
serviceable as if made in England, Prance,
Belgium, or Italy,) must come down in
price, and goodfitizens ought to weaTSUch
in preference to foreign importations.
• -Bent and clothing are in fair course of
reduction; under the effect of the lowered
rate of gold. ,But food, which is eyen more:
necessary, than shelter or raiment —food not
i only is not coming down hut is actually ad
vancing in price. On Saturday, in our
.markets, flqsh, fowl, fisli, eggs, and vege
tables, gold being at 155, than
they 'were,' about two years ago, .when gold
■ was 280. . There was a slight reduction in
butter, which was' only seventy cents a
pound, but all other articles, of food were
dearer than they had been at any time
since the war commenced. The market-.,
people, city folks as well as country,
sprang, up their prices, without a mo
ment’s hesitation, when,gold became dear,
but have not exhibited the same alacrity
in -lowering them, now that .gold has
become cheap. Were things properly ar
ranged—were tbe balance fairly adjusted—
market prices would now be only fifty per
cent, higher than they were when a dollar
note was exchangeable for a gold dollar
from the Mint. As it is, they are one
hundred and fifty per .cent.'- above that
standard: Nor do we see how we can help
ourselves; the market people, city as wcli
■ as country, constitute a close corporation,
and enjoy an exacting monopoly. If Phila
delphia, by common consent, could let
even one week pass without marketing, the
monopoly would be crushed ; but that can
not be,' and so the extortionate and con
scienceless'dealers have us at their mercy.
Wc must pay their prices or starve.
Funeral Expenses.
A statement has been put forth, on
behalf of the undertakers, that not they
but the owners of Miery-staMes have com
bined to advance the hire of 'carriages
employed at funerals. We have expressed
our surprise, that in the very face of the
fall of gold, and the admitted decline in
the price of provender, the livery-stable
people should have made any advance
■whatever. We never -intimated that the
undertakers had “hand, act, or part” in
the advance, but we affirmed, and here
repeat, to condemn, that the livery-stable
keepers have to give from fifty to seventy
five per cent, to the undertakers out of the
hire of each carriage employed; at a fune
• raV and,- we need not say, this money
comes out of the pockets of those who
have to pay for the said carriages. We
challenge -, contradiction,, and we know
where .leading—-that is, the most expen
sive—undertakers, actually keep accounts
with the livery-stable keepers, settling
with them only once in every three
. months. . ... ■ ■ : •
Considering, that undertakers may be
said to charge whatever they please, and
really do charge very heavily, in. most
cases, the additional profit on the carriages
may-be described as an ■ exaction which is
almost an bxtortion, for the public have no
means of checking it, except by relieving, j
the undertakers from, the trouble of order- j
ing the carriages. No: doubt that would i
be considered “mean,” and sneered at i
accordingly. If a person wishes to hire a i
carriage, or a dozen carriages, to convey j
a party a little way out of town, on a pic !
me, it is usual to;inquire what the livery
stable keeper will charge, and it is also
strictly in rule to make a contract for the
work being done at some , litffe reduction
if the price demanded be considered
too high. But, when carriages are re
quired at a funeral, the party who has to,
pay for them is precluded, by custom and
etiquette, from any endeavor to moderate
the price. The undertaker orders the car
riages, and, he sure, will order them only
from the livery-stable keepers, who pay
him “ his regulars” — i. e. the per centage
on their hire. The time is not distant, we
hope and think, when: the needless outlay
and ostentatious display at funerals will be
dispensed with—when grief will no longer
;be measured by the number of carriages,
(at $5 to $7 each), by. which the dead is
followed to his long home, and when none
but the iinmediate"family and closest as
well as dearest connexions and friends of
the deceased will be present at his inter
ment.
Ihe Car question.
To the Editor of The Press: ,
Sib: As one of yoursubscribers and regular read
ers,.allow me to express my dissent to your dootrlne
of the rights of negroes to ride in the cars ostabUsuod
for tie accommodation of tie white, population of
our city. I amvaltogether ignorant ortho right*
possessed by. this class of people to put them on an
equality with whites. I find where r move about
the oitv a universal repugnance to giving up,the
ears to them, as would be the case were they to get
a right to ride when they please At the boarding- ;
house where I live there is a colored lady coo*, of
very large proportions, who gets $4 perweek for her
services. She gives us first-rate dinners, but I doubt
whether the ladles at the table t would consent that
she should come to the table. In all the majesty of
:grease, or dressed in silks, and dine, with ns. The
colored soldier who fights our battle is paid for it,
just as the general Is, but it gives Mm no more t-f ght
to ride In our oars than the white Boldler has to enter
the general’s tent to get Ms dinner.
In jour earnest desire for the rights of negroes I
beg you to pay some'deference to the rights of. the
whites. We are not all ready for social mixing up
of colors. ’ God.'hao placed a" mark upon them for
some wise purpose, and let us respect It. Do not
blame conductors for obeying, the orders of' their
employers, who have a right to admit or: reject Any
Improper person, and protoot the rights and com
forts of their patrons, to the exclusion; of intruders,
as all blacks are who. presume to force, their war
into our cars. I am, sir, yours truly, H.
It is not often that the supporters of a
measure of justice find an argument as
plausible and effective as this from an op
ponent. According to the argument of
our correspondent, republicans institutions
have failed, and we are to have an aristo
cracy of privileged classes in this country ;
one class to have “ rights,” and the other
class to have no “rights ” at all. If our
correspondent desires to see a perfect re
alization of his theory we would suggest
-his immediate emigration to I-lindostan,
where one Glass is sacred arid another de-
filed. But -we - do .not care to have’ “ the
Institutes of Menu” transferred to free
America. The argument that God has
placed a mark' upon the negro for a “ wise
purpose ” indicates a celestial familiarity
with God’s designs. How does he know
whether God’s ‘‘marks” are black or
white, or red or blue ? God made some of
ns white for a “wise purpose,” and others
•of an olive : color, and others still with red
hair. Why not say that red hair or olive
complexion is a badge of degradation V If
’ God degrades all who are not white, what is
to become of the strange people who live in
Oriental countries ? And what a shame to
parade the Japanese in our streets and give
them princely honors ? It would not be diG
ficult to prove, if we accepted this ridiculous
assumption, that white is the degrading
mark.;. He assumes that the black is
“marked” because he is in a minority;
yet, from:God’s point of view, taking the
whole world at a glance, there are in Asia
785,000,000 of “ degraded” Mongolians; in
Africa, 110,000,000 of “ degraded” negroes
»and. Moors; in Oeeanica, 5,000,000 of
“ degraded” Islanders. The whites are as
apt to he the marked class as darker na
tions, for God would certainly not degrade
three-fourths of-his creatures. We might,
go on and tear our' correspondent’s board
ing-house logic to pieces, hut content our
selves with merely laughing at him, and
showing how ridiculous his ideas appear
in the strong light of print Wc decide
. all these questions by asking what is right
and what is wrong ? . It iB wrong for us to
assume the province of Divinity, and ele
vate and degrade as we please. It is right
for us to take men and women as we find
them. Dor ourselves, if the colored cook
who serves our correspondent such good
dinners at four dollars a week enters a car,
d pays the regular
ride at her side as
other ladies in Bilk
.hie society.
METTER FtfOM “ OCCASIOSAI,.’ ,
-'Washington, March3B, 1865.
- The recent debate in the British Parlia
ment on the “defences of Canada "do-
serves more than a passing comment. .No
higher tribute was ever paid to a great
people contending ■ for their rights and
their “liberties; -Every participant in the
debate, willingly or unwillingly, joined in
this tribute to the growing-povrer and com-
manding position of the United States —
alike those who insisted that Canada must
be defended against the increasing-influ
ence and the" suspected designs of the
United States,- as those who laughed at
the .apprehension because they believed our
Government ehtertained no such designs,
and because, if it did, no army or navy
could hold Canada to-the British Crown.
This last idea was boldly stated by our
good friend, John -Bright, on; the 18th of
March, amidst the cheers of his . support
ers and the “hears” of his adversaries
Mr. Bright said that ho thought Parliament
should understand that there is-no power whatever m
the United 1 Kingdom to defend successfully the territory
of Canada againstthe United States, but denied that the
American-Government entertained any idea of attach
ing that Province. 1 He remarked: 11 Thera is not a
man In the United states, probably, whose voloe or
opinion would have the smallest Influence, who
would recommend; or. deßire that an attack should
he made by the United States on Canada, with the
view ofltß forcible annexation to the Union. [Hear,
hear.l There have been dangers, as we know, on
the frontier lately. The Canadian people have been
no wiser than some members of this Houte, or a great
many men among the richer classes of this oountry.
When the refugees from the South—l am not speak
: injr of the respectable,-honorable men ofthe;South,
many of whom have left that oountry during their
troubles, and for whom I feel the greatest commise
ration—nut I mean the ruffians from the South, of
w horn large numbers have entered and who
hove employed themselves In a course of policy like
ly, to embroil uswitmthe United States—when they
entered. Canada'the Canadians treated them with
lor too much consideration. They expresssd very
openly opinions'hostile to the United States, whoße’
power iay- close to- .them. ' Tho United Stateß have
not a syllable to say againßt Canada.; The Cana-;
dian people 1 found they were wrong ; they hove now
. returned. to their right'minds, and' there is not a
men in Canada at this moment; I believe, who has
any kind of - idea that - the 'United States Govern*
ment- has the smallest notion of attacking them,
now ormt any future time, on account' of anything
which has transpired between Canada and the Uni
ted States.”
On the same day, Mr. Lowe, lately con-,
nected with the Palmerston Ministry, and
at one time a writer on the London Times,
enunciated the same idea in yet stronger
diction. Mr. Lowe has held official position
in‘ Canada; and therefore speaks with
“ voice potential, ” He showed that the
superiority of numbers made the Americans
bo formidable that Canada must fall an
easyprey to them in the event of war.
Quebec itself would be at their mercy, for
Point Levi commanded it j and even
though a fort were now built o'n Point Levi,
it could not be held against such a force and
such artillery as America would bring
against it. So hopeless did the defence of
Canada appear to Mr. Lowe that he urged
the immediate withdrawal of the British
fro op a now there--—they served but to irri
tate. the Americans. Indeed, there was
mingled with this feeling an amount of
temptation, for nothing could be conceived
which would cause such an ecstacy of de
light in the United States as the capture of
' eight or ten thousand British troops, the
(lower of the British army.
Lord Palmerston, Mr. Disraeli, and
otters, while demanding that it was the
duty of the Government to fortify Canada,
spoke in the highest terms of the manner
in which Mr. Lincoln's Administration had
been conducted in its 1 relations to foreign
Powers, and several other members alluded
with much commendation to the 'concilia
tory deportment and refined example of
Charles Francis-. Adams, the American
Minister l at London, in this momentous
and absorbing crisis. The attempts of
the London Times to provoke a war be
tween England and the United States were
mercilessly ridiculed during the debate ;
•in fact, the whole current of the discus
sion must work irreparable mischief to that
irresponsible and unscrupulous organ of
Tory spite. The President of the United
States and Ms Secretary of State may
justly felicitate themselves on a demon
stration which affirms their whole policy
towards Great Britain, and prepares the
way for the complete reparation of all inju
ries suffered at the hands of the subjects
and the officials of that Power, John
Bright,"also", stands 'proudly vindicated and
avenged. In a commercial view, these
opinions of the best statesmen in the Old
"World are of immeasurable importance ;
and he is purblind who cannot see as
• in a mirror the speedy beginning and mag
nificent development of an unprecedented
maritime trade between all these States and ■
every nation of the habitable globe. . And
as defeating the hopes of the rebels—aa
confirming the power of the Federal Go
vernment, army, and navy, and the wisdom
of the Federal Executive and his counsel
lors, the justice and practicability of the
legislation of Congress —the debate in
question cannot Be over- estimated. . As to
Prance and our Government, and France
and the rebellion, the prospect is equally
auspicious: Never at any period
war have our relations been more amicable
than at this writing with that nation. Louis
Napoleon is aware that if Mr. Lincoln had
agreed to coalesce with Jefferson Davis to
make war upon Maximilian in Mexico, and
to establish a Southern slavery despotism
in its stead, the traitors would have given
up many of their pretensions long ago.
It is said, I know not with how much
truth/that they offered to do so when they
met the President and Mr. Seward in
Hampton Koads, in February last. Letters
from distinguished Americans in Europe,
and “particularly in Paris, are full of joy
over the cheerful future for our country,
and of the.decided change in the feelings
of many who have been indifferent or hos
tile. You have of course observed: that
“ Druid,” the Baltimore correspondent of
the New York World, evidently speaking
by the book, admits that the Tehels can
have no help from France,' especially now
that the Emperor realizes not only the hy
pocrisy of the rebel leaders, but the rotten:

Death oe . a Pkomjsteht New Town Stook-_
, Bbokbb.—Yesterday morning, as Is announced by
telegraph, Jacob Little, a-very remarkable man in
bis day, and onTof the boldest and most successful
. brokers of tie New York Board, died to that city,
aged 68 years. His name has been prominently as
!: soclattd.wlth most of the great financial transae
-1 tiohs of Wall street for- a long series of years. He
; began his operations In 1819, havlngbeen previously
f a olerk In « Jacob Barker’s Bank, ’’ which failed at
I theopenlngof that year. For a long-time—until
the opening of 1837—he made no mark, but
then peculiar circumstances epabled him to
take the “bear” side of'the market. He went
“ short ” of almost everything, - no matter how
heavy, and was usually very successful. Some
times, however, his calculations were Incorrect, but ■
Succeeding ventures enabled him to pay all hlB
debts to the very last cent, principal and Interest.
In this way, he made and lost andmade again many
large fortunes. In his different failures many
■ names were associated with him until he became,
and Is now, perhaps, better known than any other
financial operator. But they were, as before re
marked, repaid, while those who owed; him, and
whom he regarded as henest, were allowed to pay
as much as they were able. He asked no more.
When the war commcnoed, both his financial and
physical strength was much Impaired, and younger
men managed the great combinations. His adverse
circumstances ' and the knowledge that other men
were supreme where he used to rule,' attested Ms
mental energies of late. ( Up to a Tew weeks of his
death he attended entirely to his own personal af

DESCRIPTION OF SATURDAY’S BATTLE
ON THE LEFT.
Evidences of Kelt el Despair-Their Fight-
lug no longer Stubborn.
DISTINOTISHED COI’IUGE OF OUR TROOPS-lIST
OF CASUALTIES.
Headquarters Abut or the Potom ao, March
26, via Washington, March 28.— The engagement
here yesterday (Saturday) was, wlthqu,t a donbt,
the most Important and Buoeossful for.; the Union
a-rroathat bias: taken place since our arrival in front
6f Petersburg. Not only, were the'enemjr.met and
defeated at every point, but the faotwas demon
strated that they have lost heart In their cause, and
that large numbers are ready and, anxious to lay
down their arms and give up the struggle. •-
After they had succeeded In gaining, possession
of Port Steadman they at once fell to plundering
the baggage in the tents, and all the officers could
do would not Induce them to deilst. Those who
•remained in line fought with nothing like the en
thusiasm they exhibited last’summer, and many
laid down their arms at the first opportunity of
reaching the rear.
Oh withdrawing the rebel officers determined to
return to their own lines as rapidly as possible, and,
urging their men over the works, managed to get a
largo portion oi the assaulting "column back In
Hundreds, however, ran and hid In the bomb-
proof and waited there lor our troops tooome and
take them prisoners.-
The number brought In by tho 9th Corps wa3 re-
ported yesterday correctly at eighteen hundred.
The loss In this corps is not far from' six hundred,
the official figures not yet being ascertained.
After the fighting ceased at this part of the line
It was thought that the attack might .have been
made to cover a more Important one on the left, and
consequently the entire army was put .under arms
ready for any emergency.’.
General Humphreys was ordered to make a ro.
eonndissanoe In front of his Hue, In order to develop
the enemy’s strength and to asoertaln their move
ments. This was done shortly before nopn, and tho
picket lino was either driven In' or captured for a
considerable distance. Our men still continued to
advance, and part of the S 3 Division reached and
took possession of a second line of works, but the
rebels soon alter charged the line or battle and
forced our men back to the first line taken.
This was principally oaused by the enfilading fire
from two batteries, whloh they wore enabled to
throw along this advanced position.
From this time until 4 F. M. the firing was not
very severe, the enemy having retired to their
works, leaving a strong picket lino to hold the pit.
At this hour the signal to fall in'waa sounded along
the rebel lines, and soon after a heavy column ap
peared, and, forming in line of battle, advanced on
MUeBl division, but they wore gallantly repulsed by
fthe herpes of thlß division, who soon‘drove them
back in disorder with heavy less.
.Twice they repeated the attempt to break through
the line, and failing In this, they endeavored to turn
the right flank. But Gen. Miles was as ready to
receive them here as at other points. They Anally
fell back and disappeared, leaving their dead and
many wounded on the field.
The roar of musketry, on this ground was as se-
vere and continuous for two or three hours as over
heard, and was not surpassed even by that hoard at
the "Wilderness. .. " -
General Miles and Mb officers and men, particu

for their gallant behavior on the occasion.
lie 3d Division, under General Mott, held the
centre of the line, and repulsed each attack of the 1
enemy with spirit,; although the contest hore was
not so desperate as In the Ist Division.
The 120th New York and 11th, New Jorsoy are
highly spoken of for their bondubt “under Oolonel
Schoonover. The 2d Division held the extreme loft
of the line toward Hatcher’s Bun, the brigade oom
mandedlby General Smyth only being engaged.
They advanced at the same time with the rest of
the line ahd took a part of the enemy’s works, with
a number of prisoners.
The losses to the 2d Corps, as near as can bo as
certained, are about six hundred and fifty, with pro.
bably one hundred missing.
Among the casualties are the following:
Col.-Biles, Kith Pennsylvania Infantry, wounded ;
I,teut. Col. Andrews, 20th Indiana, wounded; Maj.
Hamilton, 110th Pennsylvania,wounded, and Capt.
Stewart, lloth Pennsylvania, killed. -
The engagement between the Bth Corps and tho
enemy was" not so sever® as at other parts of the
line, where the 2d and 9th Corps fought.
Here, also, the object of the attaok was to foel the
enemy, and ascertain if the works wore occuplod to
“force.
Some of the. troops finally reached the rebel pick,
ets and took about 1,547, prisoners, driving the re
malnder back to the main works.
The enemy’s batteries were very active here and
did a good deal of mischief. ; -
. Firing was kept up till dark, without any attempt
on their part to regain tho lost ground. q

V BEFOEB KICHMOWO,;MarOb.2i; 1866. ,
■ Yesterday about noon this army was thrilled with
the gratifying intelligence that General Sheridan
and forces had arrived safely into these lines, in the
vicinity of Deep Bottom. The horses looked a little
jaded, the men somewhat bronsed by exposure, hut
bearing themselves like conquerors and evincing the
most confident'assuranoes of their ability to repeat
the thrashing exercises upon' Lee with which Early
Is so familiar. They marohed like true Soldiers,
under the inspiration of their commander, with an
apparent faith In his ability to bring thorn ouf of
every conflict with honor. General Sheridan came
mounted upon a black horse, equipped in an over,
ooat which, In the absence of the usual Inßighla,
concealed his rank. His unostentatious manner,
and the amiable deportment which he* - evinced to
wards the members of his staff," are some of the
influences which endear him to hl3 com
mand. The Goneral planted his headquarters!
flag at Jones’ Landing, on the James river,
where he was joined hy a number of officers of his
army who had been North, absent on a-leave, and
remained there no matter how long. Due notice
will be given of his operations Iff the future, whloh
must satisfy public curiosity undl somethlng'more
tangible is forwarded for their consideration.
Another event of yoßterday whloh attracted con
siderable attention In this army was the arrival of
President Lincoln, and his reviewing parts of the
24th and 26th Corps. Both, white and colored troops
i looked well, and, if possible,.marched bettertKah
on former occasions. It was;_as;grand sight, and
must have been a source of satisfac
tion to his Excellency, Mrs. Lincoln, Miss Wells,
and other ladles who accompanied the President to
the front and witnessed the martial ceremonies. A
host of generals also swelled thesuite of the Gom
mander'ln-chieftb proportions beyond .thq,priml*
tive ideas of simplicity.
Everything Is quiet along the lines this morning.

from behind the trees, which betokens one of those

CSpeclal Correspondence of The Press. 1
Kinston (N. O.), MarohSl.
The scene around Kinston has become animated.
Troops upon their way to the front, and long wagon
trains arriving, to be loaded with supplies for the
army, fill up the prospect from day to day.' The
army Is being -rapidly furnished, and ; the; resump
tion of the advance cannot be very long delayed.
Unless Johnston desires to provoke a battle unequal
and disastrous, for his own part, hemay remain for
a week, at least, in tolerable security. Oolonel
Garber, acting chief quartermaster under Sherman,
Colonel Conklin, chief quartermaster of the Army'
of the Tennessee, and General Dodge, chief quarter
master of Schofield’s army are here, diligently at
tending to the business of the army.
The news today from the front amplifies, by some
important details, the statement already forwarded
<E»tbe engagement of Sherman’s forces on Sunday
til Monday last; Of the occurrences which pro- ;
ceded the battle, and developed the.vigorous demon
stration" which the/rebels made on that oocaslon >
some interesting data is also at hand. /
On leaving Fayetteville General Sherman relieved
hie army of the vast gathering of contraband.? and
refugees which encumbered Ms march, and directed
them, by way of Clinton, to Wilmington., No
decided resistance was made by tho rebels
up to the 16th, when their rear guard was" on-,
countered chiefly by Ward’s and Jackson’s divisions,
belonging to the 20th Corps, and General Slocum’s
columns. The enemy were, for the principal part,
Hardee’s command; A gallant charge, made by the -
division of General Ward, drove _the rebels from a
strong line of earthworks," and with the j olnt efforts ■
of the two divisions another line was takem Three
gens and two hundred prisoners were captured, and .
from five to six hundred, principally wounded, were
lost; The rebels suffered with equal severity, and on
the approach of our forces"to dislodge them from
a third line of works, left to the night. General.
Alfred Kbett, of South Carolina, was captured on
the 15th preceding the fight. He had gone out to
set pickets, and, returning to camp, was accosted by
a /quad of men who demanded his rank and name..
Believing; they were- rehelß, like himself, General
Kbett-returned an answer by no means gracious,
but still satisfactory. He was then .conducted by
our scouts through "the rebel pickets and into our.
own lines. Captain Macbeth, of the South Caro
lina Artillery, and a son of Mayor Macbeth, of
Charleston, was mortally wounded to the fight.
Fureuant to this spirited fight the right wing moved
aoross the South river and up toward BentonvlUe,
while the left wing made a crossing further up,
pursued the enemy retiring by Bentonvllle toward
Smlthfield, and reached-Beaver Dam creek, one of
the many small tributaries . of the ; Neuse.- -On- the;
19th the fight opened with the left wing near Han
nah’s “creek, the battle taking place In the
angle formed by this oreek with the Neuse
■ river, - between; wMch streams the Bentonvllle
road curved toward to the rear of our forces, Itwas
while moving up this road that the 14th and 20th
Corps met the enemy posted between the streams,
in force, and anxious, as usual, to crush one wing of
the army before the other eould come to its support.
The right wing reached the vicinity of the fight on
Monday, the 20th, and General Hazeu’s division,
employed'to guard the trains, matched np and filled
the gap between the two wtogs. The fierce and
' precipitate charges of the rebels were gallantly met
and repeatedly driven baok by divisions of the 14th
and 20th Corps, -which, for the time, withstood the
shock of Johnston’s .entire army. The right wing
came promptly to aid on Monday, and the rebels
were driven out of the angle streams wMch they
ocoupied, to retire upon Smlthfield. Kilpatrick’s
cavalry operated with excellentfervlco, during the
battle, upon the right flank of the left wing..
Several brilliant exploits wore performed In this
action. The 46th. Ohio, armed with the .Spencer
repeating rifle, made a splendid charge, and drove
an entire brlgadeofthe enemyfrom its earth
works, hut for want of Immediate support were un-.
able to hold them, Tnoomtogto aid, with the 17th
Corps, on Monday, Gen. Joseph Mower’s division
made another gallant charge, and captured several
lines of works. The troops on either side were fre
. quently without; Bhoes. : In default of hats, many of
onr soldiers wore bonnets and caps, picked up on
the march, and charged across the briar-fields with
hare feet. The rebels were 50,000 strong. Our loss
will not reaoh beyond 2,000. That of the rebels la
fully as large. - Johnston evacuated his* position
on Monday night, and withdrew to Smlthfield, a
movement determined and accelerated by a move
ment of the 17th Corps upor/hls flank. Gen, Sher
man was In Goldsboro to-day, and Ms army, it may
be presumed, will thereabout await equipment.

ARRIVALS WITHOUT PASSPORTS*.
It is a singular fact that nearly every foreign
steamer arriving at this port brings passengers who
are without passports. Notwithstanding the wide
publication; of the order rendering lt obligatory
upon all to proeure such necessary endorsement, all
don’t procure It. Tho America, from Bremen,
which arrived here on the 26th, brought some fifteen:
or twenty of these non-bompli&nts, who were, of
course, thoroughly outraged at their detention on
sMpboard .by the surveyor’s officers. The rule is
nearly Inexorable, so far as its enforcement Is con.

grumble.until fcho.powers that be decide their fate*
Blockade-runners, however, always seem to be pro

enabled to obtain such false endorsement It Is not"
easy to see, yet it Is a notable fact that they do ob

are setting the best wits of their nation to work to
invent such new guns and plan such. new vessels as
will maintain the alleged supremacy of the English
navy. It Is a hard thing for them to'allots the flag
that has so long “braved the battle' and the breeze”
to be lowered in defeat or disgraoe before the supe
rior Inventive talent and tried prowess oi American
seamen. Onr monitors.and onr gnns have proved
successful and dangerous-in many fierce actions.
Bat though it is not fully sure that they can cress the
stain saiety, because there has been no necessity for
trying them, yet such vessels as the New Ironsides,.
which has often proved its efficiency in battle, might
with but slight improvements attempt some such
voyage with some show of success. 'This naval OOlU
mlttee, therefore, has been closeted with the leading
builders of the Kingdom, and by the last arrival
we see that In the debate on the navy estimates
their conclusions thus far have been given to the
world. Most of the members, with onr monitors
and our Ironsides as a starting point, condemn
these two classes of vessels, and suggest a very;
unique pattern. They assert, very truly, that a
war vessel. Is nothing more than a floating gun
carriage, the dimensions of which are governed-by
the weight of the projectile and the corre
sponding Blae: of the gnn. This has already been
known. With this premise, naturally admitted,
they further Argue that the ship should be as small
as possible, built with a view to speed and hand!-
uess. With a heavy gun mounted on It, Its small
ness and speed would render it exceedingly danger*
one, by rendering It hard to hit and of easy move
ment round a portly enemy.
This which seems to have been the,result of
some labor; much research, and more discussion, it
Is readily, seen, contains within Itself Its own de*
: strnotlon. Other nations could as readily make
' similar ships, and the matter or superior ships and
armaments would thereby remain where It is now.
Heavy guns that will' stand' much service and- ha
wholly reliable must first be invented' before- our
presentefleotlvemahltors and Ironsides are ever-sur
passed by English ships of a different plan 0, sups
. which can be trusted alone, unoonvoyed; in the wild
ness of the sea. ■

.. a general tltrsr there are entirely too maa,

is there is an Immense amount of water nsed.nlas
terrths of which never reach the taming combusti
ble b, tat runs through b “'i? lD , ga >
tnre fillintrcellars. SiC. This Is the effect of not
tartDgmofe steam fire engines. If the powers that
he woulo locate.at . least siaty. Bteam englnes, and
divide the tailt up'portlon' of the city Into say
thirty fire districts; then there would seldomhe mj
necessity for mere than two engines present
at a fire, if a law. were passed to limit the engines
to tneir own respective districts,- excepting: In easj®
of emergency. .-Such an arrangement as this wool a
he an accommodation to the community. -
damage would be done by water, whleh, when be
vond control,' is as destrnoUve as .toe, and even more
so. Then there would he no occasion to stop *“•
travel of the Passenger railroad oars. These Hnest
are a great convenience to the public.andevery
iacllityshould be given not
of the care. -At the fire on South Feurth street
there were about twenty steam engines in service
for an hour, during , which : period hhere were at
least one million. gaVons of water used to mtUm
anlsh a burning third story and roof of a single
home. Upwards of a hundred . passenger raiP
road cars were delayed. The ■ business of ibo
Second and Third-street line, the .Spruce and Pine,
Fourth and Eighth, Green and' Goates-streets lines
was entirely suspended, at a great loss to the com
panies and greatly to the inconvenience of the thou
sand passengers. On the Second and
line several of the cars, pretty well filled with aged
ladles, small children, and mothers with Infants la
their arms, were detained over an hour. There was
no real necessity for this. There were only two
steam: engines on Third street, and eaob. of them
.projected a. few inches over the rails. By a lit
tie attention on the part of the fire comp-antes
the travel on this rd&d heed not have been
stopped a single moment. There la an evident do*
sire en the part of some fire companies to so place
their engines purposely on the tracks as to s’op the
cars, but by so doing they should remember they
are annoying the passengers and,interrupting bu
Biness generally. When necessity compels the fall
' use of the streets by.fire companies, in time of con
flagration, nobody-could possibly complain. The
firemen, aB a body, are philanthropists; many of
' them possess excellent judgment; they have In the
department some of the best citizens, and a hope is
; indulged that hereafter, in time of fire, they will do
all they can to prevent occupying, the passengar
railroad tracks "when there is no absolute necessity
fo: ‘

HOWARD HOBPITAI. AND INFIRMARY FOR IN-
CUBABHSS.
The annual meeting of the contributors to this
institution was held at the Hospital, Nos. 1518 and
1520 Lombard street, on Monday iilcerrjonn. B? the
annual report, of tbe man alters, it appeared tb&t
the numberof new patients during the year ending
the Ist test., was 7,816, an increase of 1,003 oyer the
nrevlooß year. These patients were treated at the
hospital, and their medicines famished to_ them
gratuitously. The number of their vl-its during
treatment was 19,419, or, an average of 1,618 per
month*.and the number of prescriptions compound
ed for their use was 18;119. It was stated as a note
worthy fact, that notwithstanding increased ex
penses, occasioned by the advance of prices, such
strict economy had been .ekerclßed in providing for
the wants of this large nntnher of patients that the
average cost of each 1 was less "than thirty cents.
The expenditures for drags, apparatus, salaries,
&c . amounted to $1,666.65, and the'value of
articles’: 1 donated and . used in the hospital
was $653. With this small amount of means
the institution has relieved the ailments .of
nearly eight thousand poor persons, and-the
managers earnestly commend so inexpensive and
useful a charity to the generous support of our citi
zens.’The hospital Is now free from all liabilities,
except a ground rent of $1,500 against the building.
An effort is being made to scoure the funds for the
release of this debt, and a part of the necessary
amount has been already subscribed. No donation
is, however, diverted to this object, unless so di
rected by the donor. The managers are looking
forward to the establishment of the Institution, as
originally intended, as not merely a' dispensary,
but a hospital and an asylum for those afflicted
with incurable disorders, believing that thus ex
tended it would: not only perform good and useful
work, but would piove worthy of our city, already
so widely known and extolled for her Institutions of
benevolence. After the report had been read, and
ordered to be printed for circulation, the contribu
tors passed a resolution, that in view of the progress
made by this institution during the past year, and
itß evident capacity under the present management
to accomplish a large amount of good among the
poor of our city, they cordially recommend it to the
generous support of the public. The officers orthe
hospital are Thomas H. Powers, president; fin,
X -McEiroy, secretary, and Henry D.-Sherrerd,
treasurer, No. 4 Merchants’Exchange,
AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.
A correspondent .-'sighing Mroself ‘‘Traveller
suacrepfe, In reference to themnnlng of the last trip
of the citvpassenger cars; the following plan to ac
commodate - belated city travellers, and which,
would at the same, time increase the number of pas
gangers on the last trip gT the vaTions city railroad
lines. ■ Persons miss the last car owing to thßir ig
norance of the hour at which it passes a given point.
The plan suggested 1b for the various companies to
have painted,* upon the; street gas-lamp.shades at
short distances along their routes, the hour at which
the last car'passes - that point. For instance, on
NJnth-and- Arch-street gas-lamp ; have painted
“ Ridge-avenue ear, last trip up passes this point at
12.15 A. M.” Lines which have double tracts upon
same street conid have down trip time: on one side
and up trip time on the other. The small expense
thlß would entail upon the various companies would
be made up to them In a very short time, and many
weary and belated travellers would be accom
modated!
