MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1865.
THE SITUATION.
The President’s despatches describing
the progress of the Union army before
Bicbmond will send a thrill of joy through
the land. The historian of such stupen
dous achievements should be the Chief
Magistrate of a people struggling for
their lives and their liberties. And
the indomitable chief who fought the
*' seven days’ battles of the. Wilder
ness," with unbroken spirit and un
daunted mettle, till at last he seated
Ms cohorts in front of Richmond, is pre
cisely the warrior to “capture, possess,
and hold ” that crater of treason and that
dungeon of cruelty. Prom these despatches
of the President we find that Tine Sheri
does not seem to tire of glorious deeds,
livery new evolution of his is a new vic
tory. Placed nearly always in positions of
extreme delicacy and danger, he carries
his resistless riders into the fiery throat
of battle with jocund and unflagging
spirit. The despatches received yester
day fix the fact that he has again done
irreparable injury to the enemy. This
time he struck them at a point which they
have most stubbornly and pertinaciously
defended. If ourforc.es get possession of
the Soutliside Bailroad but one more outlet
is left to Lee, and the whole rebel situation
is rendered most desperate. The Richmond
papers of the SOffi were very nervous about
Graft’s operations, but professed to be
confident of cheeking- him. The fact that
he has had hard fighting, and that his
generals have pierced the rebel lines
and captured three of the best rebel
brigades, shows that our success is of a
most decisive character. It must be borne
in mind that the previous concentration of
infantry and artillery against the position
south of Richmond was in co-opera
tion with Sheridan, and, if it has
been successful, General Grant’s work
is more than half. done. The doom
of Petersburg' is evidently sealed, for our
lines stretch around that fated city from
shore to Bhore. The President reports the
capture of about twelve thousand of the
enemy’s troops and also fifty pieces of
artillery, and the rebel cause is thus incu
rably wounded in its very vitals. Our late
despatches inform us that there was great
rejoicing in Washington last night, from
which we anticipate that the Government
has.either received more cheering stfc. ••
gence, or has assurance that it is coming.
Thus every hour brings our forces nearer
to Richmond. As the other columns of
the. great Union army are put to the work
set apart for them, they will, let us hope,
find that many of the worst obstacles have
been removed by the splendid achieve
ments of the main forces, under the imme
diate direction of the Lieutenant General.
The Prince Imperial Canard!
The London correspondence of a New
"Yolk paper announced, last week, that by
•way of 'showing Ms kind feeling towards
the United States, the Emperor Napoleon
intends sending his son, the Prince Impe
rial, on a visit here “in a year or two.”
The writer gives this as “another very
pleasant hit of news from Paris,Y emphati
cally adding that “it is exclusive, and also
perfectly authentic.” . Its originality is un
questionable, but its authenticity may rea
sonably be challenged. In concocting a
fable like this, probability should not be
Wholly lost sight of. The sailor boy who
told his mother that there were rivers of
rum and mountains of sugar candy in Ja
maica was believed at once, because the
old dame knew that rum and sugar are the
products of the island in question; but she
doubted the existence of flying-fish, because
water, not air, is the medium in which
fishes move. There is an utter want of
keeping, there is a foolish audacity of
assertion, in the statement that the Prince
Imperial, a young gentleman who com
pleted his ninth year on the 16th of this
month, is to come here at all, “in a year
or two," and “is to he accompanied by a
magnificent fleet of wst steamers, have one
or two leading ministers with Mm, and
make the visit one of great state—one that
will quite eclipse the late tour of the Prince
of Wales. TMs is going to be done as a
special mark of the friendly regard in
■which the Emperor and the French people
hold the people'and the Government of the
United States.” The idea of a mere child,
nine or ten years old, and Unusually small
for Ms age, crossing the A.tlantjc on a state
visit, is so preposterous that “Our Own
Correspondent ” must have calculated very
confidingly and confidently upon the gulli
bility of Ms readers. He describes the child
as “ a lad of first-rate with all the
tact .and shrewdness of Ms race,” and adds,
what may-TifttMly be credited, that “the
exact time that this visit is to be made is not
determined on, as it will depend a little on
circumstances.” We shall have full no
tice, it is to be hoped, in order that a suffi
cient quantity of lolly-pops, barley-sugar,
bull’s-eyes, and candy may be on hand for
the child. “Yon maybe assured,” says
the .exclusive “ Correspondent,” “that the
plan is all matured, and notMng hut some
unforeseen event will, prevent it.” That
any man in Ms senses should write such
rhodomontade as this is not n]op sur
prising than that any respectable news
paper should publish it. The dullest thing
on earth is a stupid canard, and that wMch
we notice now is the most absurd of its
species.
Market Prices,
It would appear that, contrary to the rule
In other cities, the reduction in the price
of gold, or rather the advanced value of
our national paper currency, does not bring
down the selling retail price of the ordi
nary necessaries of life. With scarcely
any exception, all articles of food sold -in
our public markets (and, correspondingly,
out of them) on Saturday were three or
four times as dear as before the war, four
years ago. More than this,- bad as it is,
our Philadelphia market prices are rather
higher now, with gold at 151, than at the
gloomiest financial period, when it was up
to 286. In most other cities, we repeat, the
price of food has gone down somewhat in
proportion to the decline in gold. Here,
however, by some arrangement (which
looks very like a conspiracy against the
pockets of the public) between the country
people who bring in the produce called
Pood and the city people who retail it,
nearly every article —flesh, flowl, vege
tables, &e.—is sold as dear as when it took
$2.86 in paper currenoy to buy a dollar in
gold. Is there no resource ? no way of
preventing this ? no|legal means of punish
ing it ? To our whole population this sub
ject is of vital importance. We firmly be
lieve that this combination to keep up
prices is against the law, and that it is the
duty of the District Attorney to take ac
tion upon it, so as to bring the parties con
cerned to a strict account. Our laws are
of little value, if they cannot mete punish
ment to all who conspire to make food
unreasonably costly.
The fate of the accomplished Major
McExtbn, of the last Union League Regi
ment, (the 109th,) who was killed in one
•of the battles near Richmond, on the 30th,
is among the saddest events of the war.
IHe had only got to the field, and fell in
hiß first engagement. It is but a few days
since he left us with his noble command,
in fine spirits and health. We remember
this gentleman as the energetic secretary
pf the Publication Committee of the League,
and sincerely condole with his family over
iris brave but premature death.

In all such oases hereafter both the principal and

A PROPOSED FBEEDMEN’S NATIONAL BANK.

of the aggregate capital prescribed by Congress,
A final decision will be given after the Ist of July

Mobile.
The Character of the news we. print this morning
from Mobile shows that the fall of that city Is cer
tain, if it be hot already ours. With the heavy
forces which have been landed in its front, sup
ported, as they are, by a powerful fleet, with Wil
son’s cavalry, over 10,000 strong, threatening its
rear from the west, and the army of General Steele
advancing from the east, rebel authority can scarce
ly tale It much longer. The victory will be tanta
mount to a redaction of the whole rebel power In
the State of Alabama, and a complete triumph of
the Union arms. It places at our command a splen
did network of rivers, which are of Immense value.
This Important fact is set forth in a very dear and
interesting way in a letter to the Nashville Times,
of which the following extract oontalns the pith:
. Looking at the map, a single glanoe will suffice
to show that Mobile, for an army possessing abund
ance of river transportation, is the key to the whole
State of Alabama. No other State in the Union
poetesses so magnificent an internal water system
as Alabama. Navigable rivers traverse it la every
direction, and render it In an eminent degree acces
sible. A steamer entering Mobile bay and river
can pass up the Tomblgbee to Demopolls, Gaines
ville and Plckensvllle, in Alabama, and Golnmbns
and Aberdeen, In Mississippi, a distance of three
hundred miles. Or leaving the Tomblgbee at De
mopolls,it can steam up the Black Warrior to Tosoa
loosa, the dd capital of the State. These two rivers
give command of aU the western portions of Ala
bama. If the same steamer takes the Alabama,
instead of the Tomblgbee, it can penetrate to
Montgomery, in the very heart of the State, and
ten miles above will find the junotion of the Tala
poosa and Coosa, forming the Alabama. If it goes
up the Talapoosa, it oan proceed up - that stream
nearly to the eastern boundary of the State. If it
takes the Ooosa Instead, It oan ascend that river
one hundred and seventy-five miles from its junc
tion with the Talapoosa, or in high stages of wa
ter to the oity of Borne, In Georgia, thus traversing
the entire State of Alabama diagonally from south
west to northeast. Thus every quarter of the State,
with all Its vast slave population, its thousands of
cotton plantations. Its boundless extent of oorn
fields, its scores of wealthy villages and towns, la
accessible by steamboat.
Thus Union bayonets are restoring Union laws In
State after State of the rebel Ooniederacy. Each
has felt their power, and partaken of the merited
rmnlEhment. Despite courage and desperate re
sistance, their pride has been completely humbled
and the rod of their strength broken.

BBT AILS OB THE BATTLE O* BKIDAY,
Washinqton, April 2.—A letter dated Head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac, on Friday
evening, says: To day, there has been fighting on
some part of the line from morning till night, the
result of whloh has been the extension of onr line
still further westward, although at considerable
costln Killed and wounded. The 2d Division of the
sth Corps, supported by the 3d, was thrown out to
ward, the White Oak road, west of the Boydton
plank-road, and ordered to reach it and take position
Jhere. After crossing a small branch of Gravelly
-Bun, and while about forming in Une, our troops
'were fired upon by a heavy force of the ene
my, who were lying concealed In the woodß, and
also by the rebel artillery, pasted la favorable posi
tions. Our men stood their ground for a while, but
the enemy appearing to be moving to the left as II
to turn, their flank the line was forced back to their
first position, where they were rallied and soon
Checked the enemy’s advance. About -the same
time another attack was made on the right flank
of the 6thJJCorpa, but (General Miles’ division of
the 2d being posted here, made a brilliant charge
and doubled up the enemy, driving them , back
ym MONDAY, APBir, 8; 18657
a long distance, leering hundreds of theft dead
and wounded on the field. This was a very hand
some affair, and the division receives the highest
praise for the manner *in which It was done.
The loss on our side was abont 400, as nearly
as can be ascertained, almost all In the Ist Di
vision. The Sth Corps about noon again took
up the advance and drove the enemy hack abont a
mile and a half, and long before dark had reached
the White Oak road, whloh they had started for In
the morning, and established their line across the
same, driving the rebels Into their strong works at
Hatcher’s Ban.
Oar loss In the day’s work will not be far from
1,200. Among the casualties reported are Major
Mills, assistant adjutant general on General Hum
phreys’ staff, killed by a shell; Oelonel Sergeant,
210th Pennsylvania, severely wounded ; General
Dennison, commanding a brigade of the 2d'Divi
sion, 6th Corps, slightly wounded.
fin attack was also made In front or the Bth Corps,
hut It was not successful. After the rebels were
driven back In front of the sth dorps, an attack was
made with both infantry and cavalry on Sheridan’s
force, abont three miles from the Southslde Rail
road, near Sutherland Station, driving them bask
towards Dinwiddle, but he subsequently gained
much, more than he had lost.
The roads are In a terrible oondltlon, It being
almost Impossible to move the trains over them.
The heavy rains have swollen the streams, and the
engineers are busy day and night laying bridges
and corduroys.
The loss of the enemy Is not known, but judging
from the number of dead lying in the woods and
.ravines where the fighting occurred, It must be at
least as heavy as our own. We took about One
hundred and fifty prisoners during the day.

San Francisco, Marob 25.— The Democratic

ging emigration to Mexico under Ms auspioes, dis
regards the denials which oome from Europe as to
Gwln’s colonization; scheme, and says “the ar
rangements between 'Gwlti and the Empe
rors of Prance and Mexloo, which we
published in January, came to ns direct from ttia
Oity of Mexico under the endorsement of the Mar
quis de Montholon, French Minister, and the sign
manual of Maximilian, through accredited agents of
both Powers.- If there has been any change in the
arrangements since, there are no means by which
the fact could have reached the public prints of tht
United States or here In advance of our adyicea up#
the same subject. ~ We are yet ignorant of any
such change, and we never credited the report that.
Gwin had been created a duke, or that Maximilian
had ceded dominion oyer any part of the Mexican
territory to the French Government; but on the
contrary explicitly stated that Gwin had not become
a subject of either monarch, and was but the
trustee of! both to administer the resources of the
territory for French Indemnity, subject to the
Mexican Government. Gwin is invested with
plenary power to dispose of and make alt needful
rules and regulations respecting the territory or
other property belonging to the Mexican Govern
ment, but nothing In these powers shall be con
strued to prejudice any of the claims of empire of
any particular State.”
San Fbasoisoo, March 27.— The Democratic Prete

THE ADVANCE OP THE ARMY—THE MONITORS AT
’ WORK.
New York, April 2.—The Herald’s correspond
ence from the front near Mobile, dated the 23d ult.,
says that General Smith’s 16th Corps, accompanied
by General Canby and staff, that day arrived at
Dabney’s Mills, on Fish river, on the east side of
. Mobile Bay, ten miles distant from the bay and
twenty-six miles from Mobile oity. The entire 13th
Corps, nnder General Gordon Granger, was ex
pected to join the 16th at Dabney’s Mills during the
evening of the 23d. The oorps moved by land from
Navy Cove, at the lower end or the bay, a distance
of forty miles, and In all this march not more
than fifty rebel soldiers altogether were encoun
tered; In fact, no opposition worthy of the name
was made to the advance of either corps, and
no rebel works-were encountered, plainly showing
that the movement was a complete surprise. The
reason for not expecting an advance In this direc
tion was probably the almost Impassable nature of
-the oonntry. The roads had to be corduroyed. Ge
neral Oanby’s movement on the west side of Mobile
Bay is probably a feint. Heavy.Srlng In the direc
tion of Mobile had been heard for twenty-four’
hours previous to the 28d, and was supposed to pro
ceed from an engagement between rite monitors
and the rebel shore batteries.

CANADA IN TRIBULATION—THB CANADIAN GO
VERNMENT ALLEGED TO BB CONSPIRING AGAINST
THB LIVES OP THE RAIDERS—AN INDIGNANT PRO.
TB6T.
Montreal, April I.— The Southern refugees and
their sympathizers are having a lively time here to,
day. Their leading organ has, issued the following
extra, and they are circulating it throughotftthe
city:
;« Infamous Conspiracy of the Provincial
- Executive non thb Extradition of the St.
1 Albans Baidbbs.— By one of those extraordinary
(interventions by which persons frequently defeat
or reveal great crimes, we have been placed in
possession of incontrovertible evidence of the in
tention of the Provincial Executive to commit an
Infamy unknown to modern times, and tbe means by
which it is hoped to accomplish it. Astonishing and
- almost Incredible as Is the statement we are about
to make, we not only pledge ourselves to it, but
I we challenge the Executive to deny it.
“It will be remembered.that the charge against
the St. Aibans raiders, disposed of by Judge
' Smith, was only one of several; hut the judgment
,• of the court, declaring' the accused to be lawful
< belligerents, engaged In an aot of war, not oognlza
i ble by the tribunals of a neutral State, virtually
i disposes oi 1 all the charges whioh arose out of the St,
Albans raid, and were Incidents of it.' The aeeused
: were remanded until to day for the purpose of the
prosecution proceeding with or abandoning the
other charges, among which is one Fof murder.
■ They are also detained on a warrant charging thorn
with a breach of neutrality, and on this they were
formally remanded for examination until Wednes
day next. .The Government is probably aware that
there Is Ilttle-proßpoot of obtaining a conviction on
this accusation, for, as Judge Smith remarked, In
bis judgment, there is no evldenoo of a breach of
neutrality having been committed. Having failed
to obtain the extradition of the aoeused by legal
means before an impartial tribunal, they have de
termined to attempt it by a conspiracy which the
designation ‘ Infamous ’ is too mild to qualify.
“ Last evening Mr. Cartier despatched Mr. Schil
ler Atom this city for Toronto,'with instructions to
. there obtain the assistance of Mr. Harrison, she
‘ barrister, and to proceed with him to St. Oatha
‘ lines, and there obtain by any means and at all
; hazirds a warrant from some loeal magistrate for
‘ the arrest of the St. Albans raiders, now oonfined
- there on a charge of a breach oi neutrality, and to
return this warrant to Montreal as rapidly as possi
ble. In obtaining this warrant, we presume Mr.
Schiller will make any little affidavit necessary.
The warrant is to-include the name of Mr. O. G.
Olay although it Is notorious that he left the Pro
vince some weeks ago.
“When the oase of the St. Albans raiders acmes
up this morning, It has been arranged that the pro
secution will deollne to proceed on the other
charges, so that the prisoners may be remanded
without ball, or the benefit of habeas corpus, until
Wednesday next. By that time it is expected the
St. Catharines warrant will have arrived. The
i charge for breach of neutrality here will then be
withdrawn, and the aaoused, arrested under the
substituted authority, will be secretly removed to
St. Catharines.
“The charge of a breach of neutrality there will
be prepared to fail. There is no. evidence, and there
, will be no efforts made to procure any. Neither do
j the Instructions to Mr. Sonliler or Mr. Harrison as
> much as hint at evidence or witnesses. But the
1 moment that the accused are discharged they will
be rearrested on a demand for extradition, on the
charges now pending and abandoned against them
here, and they will be carried for examination and
committal before the Toronto judges who extradited
Burley, and who are considered to be so far commit
ted by their ruling in that case and by their express
ed opinions in this, that they will obey with alacrity
• the order of |the .Government. The St. Catharines
warrant Is, in laot.-the cunning contrivance by
which the adjudication of the remainder of the
charges against the raiders is to be transferred from
a pure to a corrupt tribunal, and bom a judge who
refused to be the tool of a foreign enemy at the dic
tation of the Executive, to judges willing to pollute
the judicial ermine by suoh subserviency,-and to
prostitute their office by viler conduct than has been
witnessed on the-British bench slnoo the days of
Jeffreys.
“Whether the timely discovery and exposure of
this most damnable plot will prevent its being oar
' tied out in Its entirety, we know not, but such is
i the conspiracy that the exeoutlva of Canada is
, now engaged in, and such the means they are taking
to effect the cowardly and cruel end they have in
view—the murder of those unfortunate young men,
; declared free of all guilt by the tribunate here, be.
fine Which thoy have had so long, so patient, and
so thorough an examination.
“ Such an outrage upon iustioe; such a piece of
\ Inoperative and reckless wickedness; such a tramp
ling in the mire of thehonor and good name or the
country, oan be attributed to nothing short of mad
:ners, which requires and should receive restraint,
ilt is the duty of the people of this olty to prevent
itslperpetration, if possible, at any cost; or, IT that
'falls,it will be their duty to puntehlt. It they Tallin
these regards the Innocent blood whioh their rulers
are plottlng to shed will been their heads and on
those of their children forever—a triple curse of

especial Correspondence of The Pieee.j
THE PAID PIRN-DEPARTMENT.
The passage of the paid department blli has ores,
ted a very satisfactory feeling among our banks,
Insurance companies, and indeed among the great
majority of our responsible citizens. For, although
it cannot be denied that the volunteer system had
many and warm friends, It may be safely alleged
that these were not of the class which ha 3 much at
stake according as the department ia efficient or in
efficient. A certain ilan and traditionary glory,
which have attaohed to the conventional 11 Moso,”
or New York fireman, has rendered him an object of
wonder and absolute delight to the Mod, simple
people who accept tradition as truth, and. are blind
to (ho iconoclastic claims or “victorious analysis.’’
But your thinking, unsentimental, property-owning
gentleman, your “old hunks,” who Is notto be caught
by specious glitter and traditionary name, under
stands that “ Mose ’> Is somewhat of a monstrosity,
that Is, the “Mose” of to-day; and that the old
and genuine spirit which energized the department
when our beet youth held the ropes has departed.
Exit, therefore, “Mose,” after long exoreisionl
Mayor Gunther, emerging temporarily from the
frtlck vitold oblivion of official life, has emitted a
proclamation—a genuine phenomenal proclamation
—the cause or*t>r demand for which few perhaps un
derstand, wherein he announces:
Now, I, O. Godfrey Gunther, Mayor or the city of
New York, do hereby earnestly recommend to the
members of the Fire Department of this olty and
the citizens generally, not to listen to tne sugges
tions which may be madeby ill advised or designing
individuals, but faithfully to obey the laws ot the
land anid the directions of the officers of the depart
ment, and others In authority, to continue to per
form all the duties inoumbent upon them as mem
bers thereof {to" abstain from all demonstrations
which may be considered as tending to disorder; to
watch over and proteot the public property entrusted
to their care, and to aot in all respects worthy of the
dignity and high character of the firemen of New
York. To my former associates and friends I appeal
not to tarnish, by any Imprudent act, the noble re
cord of the department, but to let Its ooooluslon be
marked by the same devotion to law that has at
tended its past honorablecareer of usefulness.
The idea of “ the citizens generally” taking um
brage at the abolition of the old system is a mis
taken one. It is apprehended that the volunteer
force may not turn out, as’ a foroeyin case of fires
; occurring hereafter, and until the formation of new
companies ; but the police wIU, In that case, take
obarge oi the engines. The opponents of the law
claim it to be unconstitutional, and will test the
question In the courts. Some companies. have en
tirely forsaken tbelr apparatus, and the “bunkers”
are very generally paoklng up their so-called cloth
ing and bidding adieu to the roots which have se
long sheltered them. _ -
And so, we may say, passes out of existence the
last great exemplification of .that litoral American
ism, “ Mose,” very literally “put out.”

For the first time since the days of General Jack

has beeß inaugurated for the seoond time. The cir
cumstances under which Mr, Lincoln assumes offloe
for another term of lour years are so strange and
imtuesslve that they may justify an address rail of a
Kind of Cromwellian diction and breathing a spirit
very different from the usual unearnest utteranoes
of successful politicians. This short Inaugural
speech reveals the disposition and the opin

pletely than many of the verbose compositions
whioh have proceeded from his predecessors. We
cannot but see that the President, placed in the
most important position to which a statesman oan
aspire, invested with a power greater than that of
mostmonareha, fulfils the duties which destiny has
imposed on him with firmness and conscientious
ness, hut without any feeling of exhilaration at suc
cess or sanguine anticipation of coming prosperity.
The brief allusion to the expectations of the two
parties during the early days of the war shows what
Is passing through the mind of the Chief Magistrate
when he looks baekto four years of slaughter, and
turns round to gaze Into the black darkness whioh
Bhrouds the future. All dreaded the war, all sought
to avoid it. When the last inaugural address was de
livered secession was hut half accomplished. Vir
ginian officers attended President Lincoln for two
months after his installation, and many of them
left the Federal capital with unwilling hearts to
fight in the cause to jrbioh they felt themselves
bound. This war was not a thing that came sud
denly or without deliberation. Everything that
oould be said for it or against it was freely uttered
before ■ tbe first great armies were in the field.
President Buchanan thought it Impossible to
restrain the action of a State. On the other
? a sa*Av wanttng men who
told the North that they must -keep no terms
with slaveowners and traitors. The mass of
the people went Into war unwillingly, and yet
with but little knowledge oi what was before
them. “Neither,party,” says Mr. Lincoln, “ex
pected the magnitude or duration which It has
already attained; neither anticipated that the
cause of the conflict might cease even before the
conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an
easier triumph and a result less fundamental and
astonishing.” Mr. Lincoln anticipates that this
result will be in flavor of his section of the
.Union, but, warned by experience, he does not
venture to predict an early term for the great
settlement. Xu his message of a few months since
he gave his opinion that the war would last at
least as long an Mr. Jefferson Davis remained at
the head of the Southern people. This opinion, so
far from being changed by thesuooessesthe Fade
rale have since gained, is expressed In even stronger
terms on the present occasion. In a tone of mingled
