I CFrom "Battlesof America, ’* by Robert Tomes, H. D. ] Lieutenant Colonel Tllghman was sent oppress to Philadelphia with Washington's deapatotffia to Congress ; and, aa he spread Intelligence of. the great event on his way, the country became tpoal wlthrejoloinga. It was midnight when ha entered Philadelphia. Ho made his way directly to’ the house of President McKean, and delivered, his despatches. Soon afterward the whole olty wftslh commotion. The watchmen everywhere, in pro claiming the hour, added, in loud voices: “ 4*n Cobh Wallis is takbh! 1 ’ That anntraoletlon, rlDglng out upon the frosty night-air, aroused thou, sands from their beds. Lights were soon fleeh mov ie g in every house, and before daylight tie ttr»ta. were thronged with people. Anxiously they had awaited this hoped-for Intelligence from and now their joy was complete. The old Sfd!?- Mouse bell rang out its nofes of gladness , and the Jfr* blush of the , morning urns greeted with the roar gf cannon. At an early honr Congress assembled, the members of that grave body were highly eir.. olted when Secretary Thompson read Washingtons despatches. Daring the reading they oouid;feard£. ly repress hnzzas, and at its conclusion they resolved to go in proces'sim, : at two o’clock that day, "and re turn thanks to Almighty God for crowning : the aUie'a armies of the. United States and France with The thanks of Congress were presented to ton, Roohainheau, and Do Orasßo, and tbeotficerd and men under their respective commands. Thoyj. also resolved that'two stands of colors* taken Cornwallis shonld be presented toWtuhihgton, Is ; the name of the United States; that twp 'pleoes .Of - the field-ordnance captured at York should be prev eehted to eaohof the Freneh commanders, MochaSff** bean and De Grasse ; that a horse should be , presented to Lieutenant Colonel Tllghman; by the Board ofWar,ln the name of thb. United States; and that a taarbleoolumu should be erected at Yorktown in oommemoratlon-.of the surrender. Congress likewise appointed the 38;h of D member as a day of general thanksgiving and prayerjthrough ont the Union. 1 * I found In the. Philadelphia Sunday pispatch, in one of a aeries of artioles on the History of Chest nut Street, riom the pen of one, or the aaitors (the able Thompson Weatcott), the following extract from an old paper, entitled the Allied Mercury, or Independent Intelligence, Qf the date of 6th Novem--* her,l7Bl, which relateß to the British banners sur rendered at Yorktown. „ w. •‘•On Saturday last (November 8,1781), between, three and four o’clock in the afternoon, arrived here twenty-four standards of colors taken;with the British army under the command of Earl Cora* wallls. The volunteer cavalry of this oityjreoeivod; these trophies of victory at Schuylkill, from Whence they escorted and ushered them into town amidst the acclamations of a numerous concourse of people. Continental and French eolors, at a distance, pre ceded the British, and thus they were ! paraded down Market street to the State House. They were. then carried into Congress and laid at their feet. - . “ ••The crowd, exultirg, fills with shouts the sky. The walls, tbs woods and long causls reply: •Bate Britons! tyrant Britons! knock under— ' Taken's your Earl, soldiers and plunder. Huzza! what colors of the bloody foe,' Twenty-four in number, at the State House door! Leek—th«y are British standards—how.they fall At the President's loot, Congress and all!’ ’" SPRING No. 833 ARCH Street. 1865. 509 CHBBTHOT STREET. 519 CHESTNUT STREET. iwhlft-gffl SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1866 Washington and Lafayette at Mount Yemen. ‘ With the exception oi Napoleon, no public man I has supplied so man; subjects for the painter’s I pencil as our own immortal Washington. Incidents I in his life have been largely treated by the hand of Art, and when fact was plotoriaily exhausted, the painter drew upon imagination. Mr. Skelly, 90S I Arch street, who is agent here for Mr. JolurMeOlure, New York, has now on view, and for subscription, a I very fine engraving by Thomas O. Barlow (who I engraved “ UmL-Hugueuots,-’ by Millais, and -other I well-known Yfurks), of a -ploture entitled “The Home of Washington,” commemorating Lafayette’s I Visit to Washington, at Mount Yemon, In 1784, painted by L. B. Mlgnot and T. P. Bosslter. At the time of this visit the War of Independence was over, and Washington had returned to Mount Ver non, which, with the exception of a flying visit of j two days with Count Bochamheau, In 1781, he had I not seen ior eight years. He wrote to Lafayette to j visit and view him in his domestic walks, and La fayette did spend a fortnight with him there in August, 1784. At that time, his military career had I gloriously ended in success, Washington was 62 I years old and Lafayette only 27. The artists who have drawn both, on this picture, faithfully show the respective ages. Washington end Lafay- I ette, having risen from their chairs, are represented"] in conversation. Lafayette, with a Pennsylvanian newspaper in Ms hand, leans .against- a pillar listen- j tog to WasMngton, who is speaking—probably on j some subjebt suggested by the journal. Thews two j figures occupy the centre of the piece. Oh the j right Mrs. Washington sits at a small table, sew- I tog, and her very handsome daughter-in-law, Mrs, J. F. Onstls, isreuding a note to her. A charming little girl (Eleanor Parke Onstls), rests her head, in a half-frightened manner, on the lap of the elder ! matron—to avoid the tricks of her mischief-making [ brother (the late G. W. P. OubUs), who, assisted by a young negress, is about firing a small cannon. There are numerous accessories, a view of the Po tomac being totrodnoed, which fill but do not load the picture, but It may be described as consisting of tbreegroups. Washington's head has been painted from Houdon’s bust, executed In .1784, andeLafay- Bite’s from a family portrait In Prance, The pic- I ture was completed to 1889, and has been several years in the engraver’s haute. As a parlor on- I graving It merits a place In American homes. It Is the intention of Mr. McClure to go to Lon -1 don, in a few weeks, to place before the British pub lic a variety of engravings from pictures by American artists, which he has published. Besides I this “ Home of Washington,” he has published from I Mr. Church’s paintings “The Great Palls of Nl -1 agara,” “Tinder Niagara,” and “The Icebergs,” all in chromo-lithography, and ail remarkably true in oolor and effect to the great originals. 'Two com. panlon ehromos, from Mr. G.H. Hall’s “ Uvasde I Seville,” or the “Grapes,” and pure line iengrav- I togs from the “Heart of the Andes,” by Mr. I Church i also, “ Morey’s Bream,” by Mr. Hunting- I ton. He Is about producing the “Aurora” of Mr, 1 Church, in color, as a companion to “ The lee j bergs,” and eight other of Church’s works, and I several more by various artists—nearly all of them I native. In London, during the ensuing May, when theßoyal Academy exhibition Is in Its glory, Mr. I McClure proposes to put some first-rate] Amerioan I pictures before the British public—lncluding Mr. I Church’s“ Aurora,” “Cotopaxi,” “Chimborazo,” I “Twilight,” and “Bainy Season in the Troplos”— a new'and striking picture by Mr. Hays—and will also show Mr. Launt Thompson’s sculpture of Na poleon I. Wo have no doubt of the success of this I American exhibition in England. Publications Received Sermons on Moral subjects. By his Eminence, Cardinal Wiseman. Ivol., Bvo. Published by D. & J.

Enormous profits have been realised by holders, and the manufacturers, especially the crack Dublin makers, have been making large pro fits, and unable even to meet the requirements of their customers. Even the country folks have fallen In forsome of the crumbs, and are browing over the impetus given to the trade. The Btooks are, In fact, so reduced as to be unequal to six months' consump tion, while the age chiefly In request is about two years. All the run seems to be for quality. While the demand for patent still and Inferior country makes’ hoB diminished, the demand for ,T. .T. St S. and G. R. Sc Co. is greater than it has been In any year since 1668. The former Is understood not only to have lull employment up to July, hut to have re ceived orders for more than 1,000 punoheons beyond their ability to produce. Hoes have sold all they can make up to the end of ‘May, and have been working at full pressure since October, while last year they were at little more than half work. In addition to this, they have, as we learn oh undoubted authority, made several large obntracts for Novem ber and December-next- Of course, the price of next tear I?

Extract from Edward Everett's Oration at UcttysUmrjc, Hot. 19, ISOS. ' Nor-mult we be, deterred from the vigorous prosecution of the war by Hie suggestion, con tibusily thrown out by the rebels and those who 'sympathize with them, that, however it might have ‘been at pii earlier stage,there has been engendered "by thiroperattons of war a state of exasperation ■•and bitterness which, lndipendent of all reference io the original nature of the matters in controversy, will forever prevent the restoration of the Union, ' and the rotorn of harmony between the two great sectlbbsof the oountry.

But--It-is;-net so ; althlstory,iteaolMS-ft:different lesson. The wars of thS Bcaaa in England lasted an entire generation, frSia the' battle OtiSt.. Albans, In 1185, to that of ‘ BeSworth"-Field, 7 ln 1485. Speaking Of .the for mer, Home says: ‘‘‘-This was tne first Mood -spilt In that fatal quarrel, which was not finished In leefcthana oonise of thirty years; whloh was slg nlliied :hy tyvolve pitched' battle?; which Opened a scene of extraordinary fierceness and cruelty; Is computed?to have cost the lives of eighty prlnoas of the'blood, end almost entirely annihilated the am dent nobility, of England' The strongattacbments which, at.that time, men. of the same kindred b?>ro to each other; and the vindictive spirit' which was considered anoint of honor, rendered the. great fa milies implacable in thelr.resentments and,widened every .moment-the breach between the parties.” Such was the state Of things in England,'udder which in-,retire generation grew up;, but,"when Henry YIL, in whom the titles ol the two houses were united,-went-up io-Uondon alter the battle of Bosworth Field, to icoant the throne, he was every where received with joyous acclamations, “as one ordained and sent rrom Heaven to put an end to the 'dissensions ’’ which had so long ofnlcted tho country. - . The great rebellion in England or the seventeenth century,, after ionsftend angry premonitions, may be said to have bcgigjx with the calling Of thß 1. mg Parliament In 1640, Md to have ended-with the return of Charles 11., in 1650— twenty years ,of dis ot-rd, conflict, and civil war; of oonttseatlon, plun der, havoc; a proud hereditary peerage trampled In the'dust'; a national' eburen overturned, its clergy beggared, its most'eminent prelate put to death : a military despotism, established on the; ruins of-a monarchy which had subsisted seven hun dred years, and the~legit!inate sovereign brought to the block; the great families which adhered to the Ttlng proscribed, Impoverished, ruined ; prisoners of war sold to slavery In the West Indies— In a woffi, everything that can embitter and mad den contending factions. Such was the state of things for twenty years, and vet by no gentle transi tion, but'sttfldeniy, and .“when the restoration of affairs appeared most hopeless,” thy son of the be headed sovereign .war brought back to hl3 father’s blood-sta&ed thfone, with snob “ unexpresslble and imivdreattoy” as led the Merry Moharebrto exclaim “he doubted It had been his own fault he had oeen absent so long, for he? saw nobody who did not pro test he had ever wished, for his return;” *1 In this wonderffl&manner,” says Clarendon, “ and with this Incredible expedition,'did G-od put an end to a. rebellion that had raged near twenty years, and had. been carried on with all the horrid olrouma tineas of murder, devastation, and parricide, that fire and sword, in the hands ol the most wicked men In the world—[it Is a royalist that is speaking!— could be instruments'of, almost to the desolation of two king doms, and the exceeding defacing and deforming of the third: By these remarkable steps did the merci ful hand of God, in this Bhort space of time, not only bind up and heal all those wounds, but even made the soar as undlscernlble bb, 1b respect of tho deepness, was possible, which was a glorious addi tion to the.deliverance.” In Germany, the wars of tho BeformaUon and of Charles YT ln the leth century, the thirty-years war in the 17 th century, the seven-years war In the 18th centnry, not to speak of other less celebrated con tests, entailed upon that country all the miseries of Intestine strife for more than three centuries. At the close of the last-named war, “An officer,” says Archenholx, “ rode through seven villages in Hesse, and round In them but one human being.” More than three hundred principalities, comprehended in the Empire, fermented with the fierce passions of proud and petty States. At the commencement of this period the oastles or robber counts frowned upon every* Mil-top; a dreadful secret tribunal froze the hearts of men with terror throughout the land; religious hatred mingled Its bitter poison la the seething cauldron of provincial animosity; but, of all the deadly enmities between the States of Ger many, scarcely the memory remains. There Is no country In thg world In which tho sentiment of na tional brotherhood Is stronger. „ In Italy, on the breaking up of tho Homan Em pire, society might be said to .be resolved into its original elements—into hostile atoms, whose only movement was that of mutual repulsion. Bathless barbarians had destroyed the old organizations and oovered the land with a merciless feudalism. As the new civilization grow up, under the wings of the . Church, the noble families and the walled towns fell madly Into conflict with each other; the. secular feud of Pope and Emperor scourged the land; province against province; city against olty ; street against street, waged remorseless war against each other from father to son, till Dante was able to fin his Imagi nary hell with the real demons of Italian his tory. So feroolons had the factions become, that the great poet exile himself, the glory of Ms native olty. and ol his native language, was by a decree of the munlcipalltV ordered to be.burned alive, If found in the olty of Florence. But these deadly feuds and hatreds yielded to political influences, a 3 the hostile cities were grouped Into States under stablei govern ments ; the lingering traditions of the ancient ani mosities gradually died away; and now Tuscan and Bombard, Sardinian and Neapolitan, as If to shame the degenerate sons or America, are joining in one cry for an unitedltaly. . .. ', _ . ... In France, not to go back to the oivll wars o, the league in the sixteenth century, and of the Fronde In the seventeenth; not to spoafc of the dreadful scenes throughout,the kingdom, which followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantes; we have in the great revolution which commenced at the close of the last oentury, seen the bloodhounds of oivll strffo let loose as rarely before In the history of tho world. The reign of terror established at Paris stretched Its bloOdy Brtare'ah arms to every city and village In the land; and if the most deadly feuds which ever divided a people- hod the power to eause permanent alienation and hatred, this surely was the occasion. But for otherwise the fact. In seven years from the fall of Robespierre the strong arm of.the youthful conqueror brought order out of the chaos of orime and woe; Jacobins, whose hands were scarcely oleaußed front'the best blood bf .France, met the re turning emigrants, whose estates they had confis cated, and whose kindred they had dragged to. the guillotine in the Imperial antechambersand when, after another turn of the wheel of fortune; X«oul8 Xyni was restored to Ills throne, he took the regi cide Foiichd, who had voted for his brother’s deaths to his cabinet and confidence. ' , „ The people of loyal America will never take to their confidence* or admit again to a share in their Govern• ment. the.hard hearted men whose cruel lust of power has brought ihirdesdalingwar upon the Lana, out there is no personal bitterness felt even against them. They may nv'e, if they can bear to live after wantonly causing the .deathof so many thousand fellow-men; they may live in safe obscurity beneath the shelter of the Government they have sought to overthrow, or they may fly to the protection of the Governments of Europe —'Some of them are already there , seeking i happily in vain* to obtain the aid of foreign Powers /wwr ance of their own treason.

J| an object of envy beneath the clods that cover aim, in comparison with theHvlng man who is willing to grovel at the foot of a foreign throne for assistance in compassing the ruin of his country. But the hour is coming, and now is t when the power of the leaders of the rebellion, to inflame must cease. There is no .bitterness on thepart of the masses . The people of the South are not going to wage an eternal war for the wretched pretests by which this rebellion is sought to be justified. The bonds that unite us as one people, a substan tial community of origin, language, belief, ana law (the four great ties that bind the societies of men together) ; common national and political in terests ; a common history; a common pride in a glorious ancestry; a common Interest in this groat eritage of blessings; the very geographical fea tures of the country; the’mlghty rivers that cross the lines of climate, and thus facilitate the Inter change of natural and industrial products ; while the w onder working arm of the engineer hasleveile<r the mountain walls which separate the East and West, compelling your own Alleghenies, my Mary land and Pennsylvania friends, to open wide their everlasting doers to the chariot wheels of traffic and travel— these bonds af union are of perennial force and energy , while the causes of aliena'ion are ima ginary, factitious , and transient. The heart of the people north and South is for the Union. Indica tions, too plain to be mistaken, announce the fact, both in the East and the West ox the States in rebel lion. In North Carolina and Arkansas the fatal charm at length Is broken. At Raleigh and lilttie Rock the lips or honeßt and brave men are unsealed, and an Independent press is unlimbering its artil lery. The weary masses of the people are yearning to see the dear old fag floating again upon the capuois, and they sigh for the return of the peace* prosperity) and happiness which they enjoyed under a Govern ment whose power was felt only in its blessings. And now, friends, Jellow-citizens of Gettysburg and Pennsylvania, and you from remoter States, let me again Invoke your benediction, as we part, on these honored graves. Ton feel, though toe occa sion is mournful, that it Is good to be here. You feel that it was greatly auspicious for the cause of the country that the men of the East and the men of the West—to® mbn of nineteen sister States—stood side by side, on the perilous ridges of the battle. You now fool it anew bond of union that they shall lie side by side, till a elation louder than that which marshalled them to the combat shall jawake their slumberß. Sod bless the Union! It Is dearer to vs for the blood of thoso brave men shed in Its defence- The spots on which they stood and fell •, these pleasant heights; the fertile plain beneath them; the thriving village whose streets so lately rang with the strange din of'war; the fields be yond the ridge, where--the noble Reynolds held the advancing foe at'bay, and while he gave np his own life, assured by hia forethought mid self-sacri fice the triumphol the two succeeding days; the little stream's which wind through the hills, on whose banks in after times the wondering plough man will, turn up, with the .rude weapons of savage warfare, the fearful missiles of modern artillery; the Seminary Ridge, the Peach Orchard, Cemetery, Culp and Wolf Hill, Hound Top, Little -Bound Top, humble names, henceforward aearand famous; no lapse of time, no distance of space, shall oause you to be forgotten. “The whole earth, 11 said Pe ricles, as stood over the remains of his fellow-citi zens, who had fallen in the first year of the Polo.

I lie Band or Providence In the War. [From the New Fork Hvenlnr Post of Tuesday, 1 “Bad It not been for the resolution taken by those wbo directed the affairs of the rebel States, to plant corn instead of cotton,-to sow large tracts with wheat,and to rear large stocks ofoattie for the subsistence of their armies, Sherman could never have made his triumphant march through Georgia and South Carolina.” This was a remark made the other day by an offioerwho had accompanied Gen. Sherman In his. “agreeable journey ll through Georgia, and afterwards traversed with him and his victorious host the State of South Carolina. This Is one of those elronmstanees which so re markably characterize the present civil war, all conspiring to the great end of crushing the rebel lion and slavery together. The planters of the rebel States knew not for whom they planted their fields and sowed them with grain, nor for whom they fattened thelrbeeves and stocked their poultry yards. The army of Sherman marched through their re gion, ana found abundant granaries and numorons herds awaiting their arrival, and then It was seen for whom this ample provision had been made. Bad the Usual quantity of cotton bean planted, the journey through that oountry would by no means have been found so agreeable. In fact, lc is not too much to say that, not being able to subsist on tbe resources of the country, this march, so important to the success of our arms, could not have been made. It was because Use lead, lug conspirators so earnestly exhorted their follow ers to confine their tillage to grains and roots, and t heir husbandry to the rearing of domestic animals, that Savannah has already fallen into our hands, that we have taken possession ef Charleston, that Wilmington is ours, that we have occupied most of the principal towns of North Carolina, and that Richmond. the capital of the rebellion, has so soon fallen. A wise Providence pat It In thb hearts of tbe slaveholders to make unwittingly this contribu tion to onr victories. Onr readers will remember that at an earlier period of this war It was generally said that the pos session of slaves gave the conspirators against the Union a great advantage In a military point of view. It created a military class—the masters, ao customcd to the use ol armß as a dally amusement, and devoted solely to the art of war; while another class, the bondmen and bondwomen, docile, quiet, and obedient, tilled tbe field! and supplied tbe army with the means of-subsistenee. Against the mili tary class of the Sonth we had only to oppose our ortisanE, out farmers, our recruits drawn from vari ous sedentary pursuits, men who, whatever might be the spirit and resolution with whloh they came to the rescue of their oountry, were of unWarlike habits, and multitudes of whom would find it neces sary to return to their homes as soon as their term of service should be ended. Such was a just representation of the state of things,at that time, bat In this very organization of Stuthem society, on which the slaveholders plumed .themselves so proudly, lurked a disadvantage and a danger to the rebel cause wbicb became apparent soon alter the President issued the proclamation or freedom to the slaves in the revolted States. The .masters then found that they had been rearing a class of scouts and guides for the loyal army—a class who sheltered and helped on their way the fugitive from rebel persecution and the escaped Union soldier; a class from whom the Union army; ~ when the Federal Government had grown a little wiser,recruited its Soldiers ; a. class who furnished ' the Federal army with the heroes of some of Its most ffercely-oontested fields. This class has shared in some of the most glorious triumphs of the war; it has entered one captured city after another as conquerors, and but the other day was the first to take military occupation of Richmond. It was most important that the war should be con tinued until this Inherent weakness of the social system ionxded on slavery should be Tolly demon strated. It. was 'moßt Important that the 'world should see that In snob a state or society the master and ihe slave were necessarily enemies, and that in case of an Invasion from without, which promised the slave his freedom, he would he sure to take part a gait st the master. The present war has been car ried on long’enough to make the truth olear to all the world, and to all time, that a Government whose essential principle is slavery, rests upon a most slippery and Insecure foundation, and is in perpetual danger of being overthrown by assaults from with out. Yet ibis troth coaid not have bean made ao mani fest bat far the peculiar temper of the southern slaveholders, naturally generated by their institu tion. Accustomed to make their will the law, as well in polities as on the plantation, they would accept no compromise, would 1 listen to no terms of reconciliation', would consent to a cessation of hostilities on no other condition than the recogni tion of their new government as an independent power, entitled to a share In the public property., and the unsettled territories. The domineering spirit of the South, more- than any strength of vlrtnons determination in the North, saved us from the disgrace of a new compact which would- have Infused new vitality Into the system of slavery. It drew on. It precipitated the downfall of slavery and the decimation, Impoverishment and dispersion of the slaveholding class, which may already be said to have fearfully perished by the reeoll of Its own dSTiOtS We are among those who reverently see the hand of Providence to all these events. Death on Gekbeal Wihthbop.—Brevet Briga dier General Frederick Winthrop, of this city, was killed on Saturday, at the battle of Five Forks, He joined the 71st New Y ork Regiment in the three months’ service, at the beginning or the war, and fought at Bull Run.

Foreade, of the Seme des Deuse Monies, well known as one of the ablest political writers of France, says in a reoent article: “ The English appear to have ceased to be actors to the world’s political movements. They concen trate themselves, and seem to be preparing for tbe ,art of simple spectators. Just at this time they save eyes lor nothing but what Is passing lu the United States. They are awaiting with a visible anxiety the end of the great oivil war, or which they have to general so ill-judged tho nature and ten dencies. Englißh public opinion has committed, during four years, great errors and- great injustices to the judgments they have formed upon the refusal of the American Union to recognize to the Insur gents the right to dissolve their ties with the Gene ral Government- The apprehensions betrayed by the English press, now that the triumph of the North appears assured!, are .In soma sort an expia tion for the fault committed by public opinion to England. We hope thatthe Eogllsh will be let off with their present punishment of terrors and anxie ties, and that the Americans will not seek to vox a foreign Government, which Is sufficiently pnnlshed by their success, with hostile demonstrations.’’ A letter from the army says: Major Clifton K. Prentiss, commanding the 6th Maryland Volun teers, was one of the first officers to enter the rebel works, but was unfortunately shot through the ohost. ABhorttlme afterwards we picked up a wounded rebel, who said he was Lieutenant Prentiss, of the 2d Maryland (rebel) Regiment. Ha Is a younger brother of the Major, whom he had not seen since the rebellion broke out. They are now. lying in tbe same tent in the 60th New York Engineers’camp, and are, lam glad to say, likely to do well. Major Prentiss is one of the bravest officers In the serviae, and his wound at this time is particularly to be re gretted. „ ' - At the opening of the April term of the United States Court at Cincinnati all the lawyers prac tising therein were required to take the oath of loyalty prescribed to theaot of July, 1862. teen to all took the oath, two of them making some technical protests.
