The Combination against Richmond.
The despatches we print this morning
Teveal clearly enough to unmilitary eyes
the fact that Richmond and Petersburg
must fall or Lee fight—and fight hard, with
a prospect of overwhelming defeat—or both.
The expedition from was strong
enough to drive? the' rebelsrbt'eadily before,
it until it confronted them on the South
side. Sheridan's expedition departed,
in spite of Lee, and without doubt,
the first knowledge he had of-the.terrible.,
'blow in store for him was when it was
struck. Both these expeditions, so well
planned, so well directed, and so strong,
have a most important part to play, for on
their entire success depends the capture of
'Richmond and perhaps of Lkk’s army.
There are two railroads which Lee’s army,
iiiow use—one at each ; flank—at Richmond,
and Petersburg. These railroads cross
each other at Burksville Station, about 103
miles from? Petersburg, and 110 from Rich
mond. The presence- of a laTge force' at
the very side of the road running to Peters
burg renders it totally useless; and, even if
that were not the case,' Sheridan and his
troopers at Burksville destroy both. ;
Such are the developments of this morn
ing’s news. Communications, without
whichXEii’s army is "the greatest enemy
to itself, arc destroyed. Still his rear is
threatened by Sherman and his whole front
by the Army of the James; and that part of
the Army of the Potomac which still re
main s in' the fortifications.. The corfion is :
gradually drawn around him—his time for ;
escape isnow. Even if ; SHEßiDANa,ndtlie
expedition from the left should fail,his tenure
is quite as weak and uncertain. Thomas
when last heard from, some six days ago,
was hut 120 miles from Lynchburg—six
days’ march for his cavalry. But there is
no likelihood of a failure. We are too
strong —Lee is too weak, and his soldiers
too unreliable. A. little while, and the
sought-for prize of so many campaigns will
at last be ours, and with it will cease the
life of the Confederacy. ? .;
Tlie I>aßt Chapter in European History.
As all tie world knows, there was a
great deal of fighting, last year, about the
semi-German Duchies, of Schleswig and
Holstein, which had long formed a consi
. derahle part of the territory of the King
dom of Denmark. Several persons claimed
to be rulers of this disputed territory, but
the Prince of Augustenburg, cousin.of
the present King of Denmark, who is him- -
self of German birth and blood, was the
favorite candidate, and, in : nominal nsser- -
tion and support of his claims,' Prussia
went to war; with D enmark, contriving,
•with great adroitness, to engage Austria on, i
the same side, ; ,After, much fighting, Den
mark, unable to resist the combined Antago
nism of Prussia and Austria, which really
meant of united Germany, had to sue for
peace, England and Prance coldly with
holding any active sympathy, and the war
ended with the severance of the Duchies
of: Schleswig, Holstein, and Laueaburg
from Denmark proper, whereby the said
Denmark lost one-third of its entire area
and two-fifths of its popnlation. And, in
truth, things were carried with such a high
hand by the heavy sergeant-major who
now unworthily occupies the throne of the
great Frederick, and by his catepaw, the
amiable autocrat of Austria, that, all cir
cumstances considered, poor King Chris
tian ought to deem himself fortunate
that he was not deprived of all his domi
nions, and that Denmark was not divided
between its invaders; after the . fashion of
Poland, in 1773, when Catharine of Rus
sia, Frederick of Prussia, and Jo3Efh of
Germany coolly robbed Stanislaus Au
gustus of the greater part of his kingdom,
absorbing the remainder twenty-three years
later. .' \ .. ' -
The Duchies surrendered by Denmark,
Europe making a point of not interfering
with or protesting. against this flagrant
- wrong, this royal brigandage, the question
arose —to whom and how soon should they
he transferred? Their geographical situa
tion makes them highly desirable for Prus
sia, which has only a few small ports on
the Baltic Sea, and desires to possess, for
. the purposes of commerce and war, one or
more ports on the German Ocean. For
several months in each year there can be
no navigation of the Baltic, an enclosed
sea, which gets frozen up in the winter,
whilst the navigation of the German
Ocean, an open sea, is not interrupted.
llQßt,,probably influenced by a "dislike to•:
surrender a territory with such peculiar,
advantages for himself, the King of Prussia
has contrived, under one pretext or another,
not to 'give up the disputed Duchies to
any claimant. ‘ The war ended on the first
of last August, when the preliminaries of
peace were signed, but Prussia still retains
occupation of the Duchies: like the lawyer
in the story, the King of Prussia swallows
the oyster, and hands' the empty shells to
the King of Denmark and the Prince of
Augustenburg..
• Meantime, Austria, which is very jealous
Of any increase of power or territory on the
part "of Prussia, has vainly made repeated
efforts to have this matter wound up by
transferring the Duchies to the Prince of
' Augustenburg. Prussia gives the cold
shoulder to all such efforts, and is now said
to have accepted a plan suggested by Na
poleon—to restoreto Denmark the northern
or Danish part of Schleswig, and to con
vert the remainder of Schleswig, with the
whole of Holstein and Lauenburg, into
Prussian territory. If this be done, it will
be of enormous advantage to Prussia, and
go far to counterbalance the strength of
Austria in the South and West of Europe.
But, what a dreadful condition of affairs—
Denmark robbed, and Prussia enriched, in
order that, to suit the views of Napoleon,
Austria may he lowered !
Napoleon’s Caesar.
It'is insinuated, in some foreign journals,
that the Emperor Napoleon's history of
Junius CiESAK is not exactly so original as
it pretends to be. The declaration is that.
■during the first Napoleon’s captivity in
■Bt. Helena, he dictated to Mf Mabchand,
•his first valet-de-chambre, a history of
JuiiTOS the manuscript of which
remained in the hands of Marshal Ber
trand, has lately turned up, and will be
published at Augsburg, in one small vo
lume, by M. ICbansfeodbk. Of course, it
is meant to convey the idea that Nafo
iEoH 111- is a plagiarist from his uncle
plagiarist of a work which, it is said, was
in the hands of another person until no w.
IWAbchakd was a very trust worthy man.
ZNafomukn bequeathed him 400,000 francs,
■saving “the services he has rendered me
W those of a friend.” There is a
full and accurate catalogue of ai
■the works dictated at SU Helena, by Na
poleon 1., and among these is “ A Sum
mary of the Wars of Julius Csesar.” Bo
far, however, from this being unknown, it
was published, in Bv°., at Pans, in 1838,
by M- Gosseljn, under the title of
4es Guerres de-Jules Cesar, ecnt P“- M.
%«axchand a l’ile Sainte Hdlene, sous la
PEmpereur.” _lt is extremely

The Merchants’ Fund Movement.
■ We are glad that a- movement' has been
set on foot to place tho “ Merchants’Fund”
on abasia worthy of the scope and aim of
this noble charity. Its operations hitherto,
though admirable in kind, have been cir
cumscribed for the want of adequate means
to carry out its beneficent, purposes,'viz:
“To furaish relief to indigent merchants
of Philadelphia, especially such as are
aged and infirm.” . The fiscal resources
of the society have heretofore depended
almost wholly upon the annual contri
butions of members and the proceeds
of life memberships. -It is now pro
posed to raise a permanent fund of $200,-
000 (two hundred thousand dollars), and
several committees,- composed of gentle
men well known in this community, have
been appointed to represent the various' de
partments of our mercantile interests , and
receive subscriptions. Our banking, in
surance, and other institutions depending
largely, upon the merchants for their ex
istence and support, will be called upon
immediately, and we doubt not, from indi
cations already received, that their re
sponse will be prompt and generous. Upon
the merchants themselves we need hardly
urge the propriety of consummating this
laudable enterprise, and if each will con
tribute his proportionate share of thg:
amount required, but a few days will be
necessary to raise the proposed sum. Let
the amount be contributed at once.
Such a thing as a cessation of hostili
ties, either to wait for terms from the re
bels, or while discussing what they might
have to offer, has never been tolerated or
entertained by the President., All his re
cord is the other way. ■ There is, indeed,
a contingency when the Union army will
stand silent and withhold their fire; and
that is, when the enemy yields. But even
then there will probably be no withdrawal
of a single soldier of the Union forces until
all the just demands of the conqueror are
flßomplied with; and their steady observ
ance clinched: by first-class collateral secu
rities.
The restrictions concerning, enlist-:
meats in the United States Marine Corps,
which have somewhat retarded recruiting
at this station, have been removed. Now,
all old soldiers from the Marine Corps,
army and volunteers, will be received, pro
vided they, have an honorable discharge in
their possession. Of course, none but first
class men will be enlisted. See advertise
ment of Captain James Forney, command
in g rendezvous, 311 South Front street,
Philadelphia. -
At no one time has the Executive ever
recognized Jefferson Davis as the head
of a Government; and therefore it is easy
to infer that no such idea as conferring
with that traitor in-chief has ever been con
templated.- •
There is no doubt in the minds of many
Joyai Southern refugees that cotton; has
been planted in the cotton region from the
beginning of the w.ar, and that there is a
vast amount of it on hand.
We gladly call the attention of the pub
lie to the statement of the services of the
Sanitary Commission to our sick and
wounded at Wilmington, It will be seen
that, far from neglecting the wants of our
! suffering heroes, the * Commission has, with
-its usual promptness and ability, faithfully
j distributed the supplies; to furnish which
our citizens have so liberally contributed.
To the kind attention of the officers and
agents of this noble association all of our
returned prisoners hear willing testimony.
The United States will'hot complete a cen
tury of organized political existence until the
ITtli day of September, 1887. During the
seventy-eight' years,that'have,elapsed since
thatrimmortal day, the Republic has grown
in population, in territory, in all the arts of
peace, and all the elements of war. The
American people, haying vanquished and
expelled an ungrateful foreign oppressor,
laid the foundations of their
upon the rock of principle, and marched,
with uhfaltering.step,.pvef all- obstacles,-up
to the year 1860, when they were suddenly
arrested by an unprovoked rebellion, which
continued to increase in magnitude until it
taxed the best energies of the Government
itself, and; awoke the sympathy and at
tracted the aid of foreign despots, who
hailed it as the sure precursor of the de
struction of republican liberty. This
gigantic assault upon ~ the unity of
the States-and the rights of the people
•is the only instance of the kind that has
marred ouf: national experience, and yet,
during its bloody and exciting progress,
we have had none of those excesses and
atrocities which excited the horror of the
civilized world during the terrible uprisings
of the populace in other countries; France,
for example, has been torn, trampled, and
desolated by a series of revolutions since
the beginning, of our own armed protest
against Great Britain. As we prospered in
the establishment of and respect for law and
order, and regulated freedom, France,
seeking to imitate what we were realizing,
alternated between the rule of the throne
and the rule of the mob, until,
wasted, impoverished, and utterly de
moralized and despondent, she resigned
herself to. a military domination, and
exchanged her manhood for the poor pri
vilege of a transient repose. War had
i made of her ■ territory a battle-field and a
barrack; and the, violence of insane dema
gogues and lcvclers, who sought human
perfectibility by shedding innocent human
blood, made her people sick of the name of
freedom,- and ready for the gyves of any
tyrant. But, what is the sequel of
the great rebellion, now trembling over
the precipice from which it is soon to "be
precipitated into eternal oblivion ? More
than three-fourths of the national domain
have been undisturbed by the accidents
and the calamities of the conflict; and, save
■ in the loss of those who went out to fight
for the Government, these three-fourth* are
now more prosperous than when the re
- hellion commenced, while the States that
“ shot madly from their sphere” are on
the eve of voluntarily returning, or of being
compelled to return, to their allegiance. We
have had no military commander in|hchour

LETTEK FROM “ OCCASIOSAI.”
Washington,, March 31,1805,
rule tire civil magistrates, or to exercise
civil prerogatives, or make opportunities
for a grand, coup d’etat, The chiefs of
our armies have not only been subordinate
to the Executive and to Congress, but
have shaped their policy according to the
suggestions of the one and the restrictions
and requirements of the other. Wherever
the public exigencies required the arrest of -
mischievousmalignants, and the suppres
sion of treasonable newspapers (notwith
standing, the party clamor which has been
raised in consequence of this action), other
nations have been astonished by the mode
ration and the magnanimity of the Govern
ment. Jfeyer'has the civil law been so
potent and so universally obeyed as in this
eventful exigency. As one favorite general
after Another has failed to meet the.public
expectation, and has retired to private life,.
their more fortunate suocessors' have used
their advantages with a modesty and a de
corum which show how well they under
stand the principles for which they are
fighting and the people they represent.
Aid here let me recall an incident of;re
cent occurrence to illustrate the ever-pre- -
sent influence of this principle, and to
mark the broad distinction between the
manner in which a great and. free Govern
ment rebukes and crushes internal traitors,
and the manner in which a mere dy
nasty is' weakened and destroyed by its
own factions., I refer, of course, to the
reception by General Grant of General
- fer on the subject
between
Lee’s proposition to conf<
dier to swerve from the straight path. He
felt his responsibility to his Government
to be second only to his responsibility
to his God. But- now,, that Presi
dent Lincoln is at the side of Lieutenant
General Grant, he does not, fail to counsel
with the military leader. And when the
great work is done by the army and the
navy, and thjs flag of Freedom supplants
the flag of Slavery, on every rood of South
ern soil, and in every Southern bay, harbor,
and port—when rebellion succumbs to the
Government of the United States from the
Potomac to the Gulf—the Federal Consti
tution will have a new consecration in the
fact that it was saved by the brave men
who fought in the name of Liberty and of
Law, and was never departed from by
those to whom tho guardianship of the
Government had been confided by the peo

THE END APPROACHES.
Since the war commenced there has not been
until now so hopeful a feeling among all classes
here that the rebellion is near Its en<i. Even the
sympathizers of .Titmf Davis in this oity give up,
and acknowledge that there is not the slightest
hope for the “Confederacy.”. As Taluhtband
once said, “The end is approaching.” ,
THE HORRORS OF ANDERSON VILLE PRISON.
A member of the old Pennsylvania HucktaUe, a
citizen of Chester county, has arrived here; having
made his escape fi om Andersonville, and: gives a
most marvellous account of the cruelties practiced .
upon our brave men, who have been unfortunate
enough to fall into thehands of the enemy. The
soldier referred to was taken prisoner in the Wilder-:
ness. He made his escape with fifteen or twenty
comrades, some ten or twelve of whom wore raeip
lured by the aid or blood-hounds, and nothing
but the fact that our informanVoarried with him a [
gun belonging to one of the sentinels, prevented
him from falling a victim to their insatiate thirst.
He finally made his way to onr lines, however, and
accompanied Shbkman’b army through Georgia,
where our? troops? luxuriated on the best the land
afforded. Ho says over twenty-six thousand of our
soldiers perished at AhdersonvUle, .and are buried
there, having died from an insufficiency of food arid
constant-.exposure to oil kinds of weather, no shelter
whatever having been afforded them:- The . small ra
tion of. mini they receive per day induces chronic
diarrhoea, which carries off thousands. Many were
afflicted with the scurvy, and not unfroquently
large numbers were frozen. The officers in charge
of the camp often promised to rellevfe tho Buf
fering of bur men if they would consent to take
the oath of alleglaneeto tho so-called Confer
deracy. Buffering from the pangs of hunger,
a few of our men were prevailed upon to aooept this
hated measure | but the majority, we are proud to
learn, Infinitely preferred death to dishonor. Some
took the oath, received new clothing and a plentiful
supply of food,; and immediately afterwards ex-
pressed their Union sentiments, whereupon, of
courße, renewed atroolties : were practiced upon
them. Our Informant says when the news of Mr.
Lm-cons ’» re-election was announced, a universal
cheer went up from that forlorn camp, and although
the prisoners knew they would be punished, they.
could not, at the' same time, hat give three groans for
Jebit Davis. Our informant remained with Shbk
m an’s army a few weeks, and was so delighted with
his experience that we should hot ho surprised If,
after visiting his family, from whom he has not ,
heard for many months, he should return as an in#
dependent scout, If the services of anymore true
men are required to give the finishing blow" to the
shell of the rebellion. , : ,' ,

binding upon: them, Inasmuch as it embraces the

[Special Despatch to The I’ress. 3
Washington, March 31.— The spring campaign
■has commenced with .significant earnestness. The',
grand combination of the James and the Potomac
armies Is effected, and this Invincible and irre
sistible foroe Is moving onward to victory, safely
and surely, in the direotion of the Scuthsido Rail
road, the only unmolested line of rail communi
cation leading to Richmond.
On "Wednesday a part of the sth Corps had a
spirited engagement with the enemy near Hatoher’s
Run, in which the rebels were driven In confusion
from tho - field, with a loss of between four and five
hundred in killed and wounded, and about one hun
dred and fifty prisoners.
■ We lost about four hundred Mn killed and
wounded. Not a single prisoner was taken by the
rebels from us.
Our forces crossed Hatcher’s Run without meeting
with any opposition, the rebels retiring before our
advance. •
On Wednesday evening our columns were within
one mile and a half of the Southslde Railroad, and
were making ; preparations to move upon the
enemy’s works the next morning, which ran parallel
with the railroad, towards Burksville. The 2d
Corpß had not been engaged up till Wednesday
OYOnIBK*
Blent. Patterson, of the 7th Miohlgan, was killed
by a rebel sharpshooter on Wednesday while on a
reconnoitring expedition. This was the only casu
alty that occurred In the 2d Corps during the day.
Our Infantry line on Wednesday evening extend
ed to within two miles of Dinwiddle Court House,
Which had probably been oooupled without opposi
tion by Sheridan’s cavalry, which started out In
that direction early In the morning.
As our forces advanced the enemy fell back to
their works on the line of the Southslde Railroad,
skirmishing as they retreated. At the Boydton
plank road, they made some slight show of resist
ance, but were soon compelled to continue their
retrograde movement, srlth a loss;of about fifty,
killed and wounded. After this they did not stop
until they reached their , entrenchments, one mile
and a hair from the railroad.
• General Grant, with a portion or his staff, arrived
at Hatcher’s Run on Wednesday morning, and per
sonally directed the movements of the troops.
The army is In splendid condition and anxious
and ready for the great conflict which is to decide
tho fate of the rebel oapital.

Hateful, and despised. And these are a part and par

“Hoover” and “Stewart”—are both located in .the
I* immediate vicinity, of Franklin, on the Allegheny
river, and are universally admitted to.be among the
richest oil territory in this celebrated region, and,
with the appliances already at work, to make them
immediately productive, the subscribers to this
stock may well congratulate themselveß upon being
interested In one of the best prospective oil
| Interests that have yet been organised. Over forty
[ new leases have already been given by the Com

of one-half the oil. These, It is confidently believed,
'will produce for the Company’s interest several
hundred barrels of oil per day Inside of three months
from this date, and, in addition to this, an order has
been given by the Board to have the entire "Stewart
Farm ’’—the fee of which is owned by the Cameron
Company—surveyed and divided Into one hundred
lots, each to be leased and expeditiously worked,
aiEo at a royalty of one*half the oil. When - this Is

SPECIAL NOTICES.
What is the Fashion ?
BY THE BABB Of TOWER HALL.
Quite resistless Is that passion
Still to ask, *|wh*t is the iashion?’ 1
. And so it moves human pride.
That, to please a fashion cruel, • -
In the sanguinary duel,
Many hapless wights have died!
Obeying Fashion’s voice bo sweet,
The Chinese dame cramps up her feet.
Heedless of annoying pain;
Bat oh, what language can express
■ The power of Fashion over dress.
Where the widest is her reign ?
How scorned andhowneglected 11
The pretty modes of days gone by
How we run our merry rigs
Upon what once charmed beauty’s eye,
Aa gold laced coats,;.o? gaudy dye,
Powder’d hair, 'and curling wigs.
You, reader,"we may dare to say,
Wish the last fashion to obey.
And therefore as£k to know it;
Hor need you that desire repress, :
For, howe’er new the style of drear.
Great Tower Ball can show it. *
