Does Ideality Mate tlie Crime!
Tbe normal condition of New Zealand,
a British colony in the South Pacific Ocean,
is Rebellion. The rule is revolt, with peace
as the exception. The island group re
ceived its title, over two hundred years
ago, from Tasman, its Dutch discoverer.
Nearly a century ago Captain Cook, the
circum-navigator, took possession of the
country for the Crown of England. There*
was no treaty, no purchase, no submission
of rights by the natives, but simply the
British flag hoisted in the -name of King
George, and at once the country, most
productive and salubrious, was supposed to
have passed into possession of England.
About thirty years ago, what is called a
President was sent out by England to go
vern in the name of King William, and
one of the first acts of Queen Victobia’s
government was to- commission a naval
officer .as Lieutenant Governor. Aboutthe
same time, a-commercial organization,
called the New Zealand Company, was
established in England to'colonize the
islands, and a few towns were erected. A
Protestant Bishop was sent out, and the
see richly endowed—out of the natives’
property. It has happened that, with brief
intervals Of peace, the relations of the Bri
tish and the Maori (the aboriginal race,
extremely warlike) have usually been.hos
tile. The New Zealanders, strange to say,
do not appreciate the a<lvantage > and-honor
of having their country governed by red
tapists residing 15,000 miles distant,, and
seem determined to drive the invaders
away. A new war, on the old question of
disputed land claims, has lately sprung up,
and, as yet, the British have come off se
cond best. It will he necessary, if New
Zealand is to continue under British rule,
that large military reinforcements shall
immediately he sent out. Every soldier
who could be spared from Australia and
Tasmania has been despatched to New
Zealand, hut the natives, determined and
disciplined, feeling that they are fighting
for their own soil, against usurpers and;
strangers, appear not'likely to surrender
the vantage they have gained. Already,,
the annual cost of holding New Zealand by
force of arms is about ten times more than
the whole value of her exports and im
ports-
Sensible legislators, among whom Mr,
Bright takes the lead, have expressed a
doubt whether it would not be as well for
England to abandon a colony in which
the natives seem resolved never to submit
to British rule. The Morning Pont, said
to be Lord Palmerston ’s property, and.
also the exponent and champion of his
policy, strongly demands that the British
Government shall be not only justified,
but authorized to maintain forcible posses
sion of New Zealand, contrary to the will
of its true owners, the natives. It says,
“ There is of'course no choice open tour
but to crush the revolt. No Government
can admit a justification for rebellion."
Now, during the last four years, this
identical Morning Post has been one of the
warmest adherents of “the so-called South-
Confederation, ’' and, in that capacity,
has not only defended rebellion; but has
bitterly complained of the obstinacy 1 of the
North in not yielding, at once, to the
treason and revolt. No doubt, in its edi
torial mind, that, in the case of New
Zealand, for example, where the British,
mere squatters at first, have seized the whole
-country,. or in that of Ireland, taken by
fraud, and held by force for seven centuries,
Great Britain caniot admit a justification
for rebellion; but, whereas the admitted
wrongs of New Zealand and Ireland are so
great as really to justify revolt from usurped
and harsh authority, our Southern States
went out of the Union—committing per-j
jury, robbery, and treason—without the
slightest justification. The South had no
grounds for complaint, yet Lord Palmer
ston’s mouthpiece justifies their rebellion.
New Zealand and Ireland have been greatly
wronged by British miagovernment, but
the same authority declares that there can
be no justification for their rebelling against
it. Thus a great inconsistency is evident,
showing that what is worthy of praise and
patronage in our Southern States becomes
a dreadful offence if committed in New
Zealand or Ireland or India. In short,
that whether an action is to be exalted as
virtue or punished as Crime entirely de
pends on the latitude and longitude of the
plaee where it is committed !

An article appearing in the London
Times, of Thursday, April 20th, which is
just received, states that “judging from
the loss of officers and the numbers of guns
captured, the army of General Leb can no
Idngerbe in a condition to carry on the
-Campaign. ” It is gratifying to find that a
journal which has so, long persistently
undervalued our successes, and underrated
our actual power, begins to see that the po
sition of General Lee was hopeless. Never
theless, it is sufficiently amusing to read
the after-manner in whxh it endeavors to
undervalue the positive success it so posi
tively admits.
While acknowledging that Lee’s army
must he nearly totally disabled and incom
petent for further resistance, it heroically
—-for we admit its moral resistance to the
logic of fact to be stubbornly iheroical—
persists in believing that “ thei
of purpose of Mr." Jefferson Davis and
the majority of the men whom jt he South
chose as its representatives,” will he still
“ willing to persevere.” Forgetful of their
own,, expression of opinion with regard
to their own past troubles; it says that
“even now the South has the means
of inflicting such losses on the; North by
maintaining its resistance, that the Wash-.
ington Government may-'not he unwitting
to grant an honorable peace to. those who
hare fought and failed with honor."
We can* scarcely help smiling as we
’Tead this semi-appeal in behalf of the South
from’ the leading organ of a nation which
trampled out a pleasantly mild rebellion
in Ireland by deporting the principal
leaders to its penal colonies; while it
crushed out the atrocities of the Indian re
volt by as atrocious and vindictive a
suppression. And we can scarcely help
wondering h6w great or how little will be
their gradual change of feeling as they
read of that startling succession of suc
cess and horror—the surrender of
Lee, the murder of our mlFtyred
President, the flight of Davis, the rapid
end of the assassin of Mr. Lincoln, and
the surrender of Johnston, crowded to
gether in some twenty days, which, with
the previous fall of Petersburg apd Rich
mond, have epitomized in the last month
more of the passion, the suffering, and the
glory of history than nations generallylive
through in long years of terrible trial and
stubborn carnage.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, May 2, 1865,
The last foreign news is rare reading for
an American. The interest to him is, how
ever, not more than it must have been to
the Europeans themselves. They had
tried to treat the United States and their
troubles with the indifference resulting
a complacent sense of superiority, or
with the hatred natural wherever the ri
valry is of a sort too serious and costly to
be despised. And now they must read
what surprises and confounds as well as it
dismays and disappoint® them. I speak of
the leaders, only. There have been no"
people in the Old World for many
hundreds of. years. There haye been
men and. women, but they had nb rights
save to think without acting, to work, to
eat, to obey, to fight, bleed, and die.
' When, however, the two antagonists 'Of
Freedom and Slavery entered the arena )
with God as the Judge and Arbiter, a world
for their spectators, and monarchs to be
hold the swelling scene, the conflict was
one in the issue of which all the tribes of'
men -had a personal stake; and the victory
being with Freedom, even to the death of
Slavery, there is now a brotherhood of peo
ple all over the earth who feel that our gam
is their gain, and our destiny their; destiny.
It is not as if our effort was that of au
inconsiderable section, or a small; body of
brave men;- like our fathers, who fought on
-a-narrow field, though for the broadest
truths, tind even then set fire to all the rot
ten monarchies on the' stage of Europe.'
Whether by the wand of commerce, or the
community of misfortune, or the religion
of a common sympathy for the same holy
object, our struggle reached, and touched,
and thrilled the most distant and different
interests, f passions, and principles. And
as it -progressed we had the unswerving de
votion of those mighty elements. The ver
dict of the Awful Judge has been pronoun
ced. How it has been received by those
it has helped, and by those it has hurt, let
the cotemporary utterance of Europe de
cide. In this utterance two things are
made sure—that tyrants are no longer
even necessary evils, and' that the best
known Government is that of a people
trained to the education of the mind and
the body—or, briefly, taught to think and
to fight, not for others, but for themselves.
The most-successful conservatism is at last
discovered. Our vindication opens before
mankind a volume in Which can be read,
that an intelligent' Republic cannot
die—that its Government iB like the
planetary .system, simple in its me
; chahism, and impossible to disturb, be
cause (tod is architect and the guardian,
that property is as sacred as labor, order
as lasting as the law is just, and no one
man essential to the existence of a re
public whose safety is in the equality and
the nature of all. Europe is now reading
thw volume, and was studying it before,
she knew What she has lately learned. But
if what we now see in her printed papers,
what Bhe believed of the United States
When the:Government captured Richmond
and struck the last rebel capital, what will
she say when in the midst of the rejoicings
over Lee's surrender the chief of the nation
falls, struck by the traitor-assassin, even in
the midst of his usefulness, and while mil
lions. praised his noble name ? There will
be found a . yet stronger test of the system
of Government purified and crystalized in
the fire and blood of the rebellion. ■ A
Democracy, denounced as an unlicensed
mob, with an extended frontier, reaching
to the shores of two oceans, conducted on
the principle of frequent elections, com
posed of millions of people of different
nationalities, climes, and avocations,
white, black, and Indians', is suddenly at
tacked by a gang of traitors more for
midable than the gladiators of. early
Rome, because more numerous and
equally blood-thirsty, and, after four years
of battle, in the midst of the enemy’s de
feat, finds itself deprived of itß chosen chief
by amuglerer’s hand,andsumveshis sacri
fice as it had already survived the rebellion,
and the consequent expenditure of precious
lives, treasure, and the piled up burdens of
an almost .countless national debt! Such
is the prospect#for European contempla
tion. Such the triumphs wrought by a
people diserted and despised by European
monarchs. Such’the trophies of our ca
pacity to govern ourselves, and* to mould,
and wield the-mighty mass of material
of war left in our hands at the close of the
insurrection. The next thing for -Europe
to study and to |dmit, will be the sub
mission of the proud people of the South.
Nothing Ifess than this will complete the
conquest of the foreign observer. When
he sees these millions coming under the’
laws of the United States, not only willing,
but obedient, and not only obedient, bat
grateful—subdued, it is true, but all the
more ready to yield because they fought and
are forgiven by their own household—when
all this he sees, he will exclaim: “These bar
barians have found the Philosopher’s Btone.
They wage war like Titans—they govern
like the inspired Statesmen under Christ—
they have conquered' peace in more than
half of their territory, and bloody rebellion
in the remainder—they conquer by in
ventions and modes that enlist all the
genius of man—they survive everything,
even to the sudden murder of their Chief—
and as they mourn his/death, their machine
of laws selects his successor without a
murmur of dissent; and in the midst of
their rage, grief, and hate of their enemies,
they forgive like the gods themselves."
The Death of Two Stthttvobs »no* the
Waxs of'Napolsoh,—General Baron de Ohamoin,
one of the few survivors of the grand army, has just
died In the 88th year of his age.' He entered the
army as a volunteer, marched from theeamp of Bou
logne In 1804, and was present at the various battles
in Germany, Russia, and France, from Austerlitz
to the conclusion of the oampalgn In MU. The
Courier du Hard announces the death of Joseph
Dehay In his 87th year. He served In the armies of
the Republic and the Empire, and was the oldest
soldier wearing the medal of St. Helena-
q.bhbbax. MoOx.bm.ah ih Romb,—The Roman
correspondent of the Morning Post, writing on April
Ist, says: “The dlnner glven by the Baron de
Meyer dorf to General IVloOlellan was merely a
nominal return for the civilities received by Rus*
elan officers at New York, General de Montebello
and the General Commandant de la Place were
present, as well as three or fonr Russian generals,
the United States Minister, General Rufus Ring,
and the Secretary of negation, Mr. Hooker. The
entertainment appeared to have no political mean
ing, nor ware any after-dinner speeches mads.
Fhohoqbaphbb’s Saeabibs.— These gentlemen
receive In the New York oohrts a very fair compen
sation for the exercise of their very nseful and
mysterious science. We see that by special statute
they now reoelve 82,600 a year. This salary may
not appear very large, hat It mast be remembered
that as the courts take a reoess of three months In
the year, none of the phonographers are employed
more than nine months. This makes their com
pensation *277.77 per month. But Fare 11. or the
supreme Court sits only four or five months; the
phonographer In this court, therefore, Wots from
*6BO to *626 per month, and In Part- 111. of the
Superior Court, which never sits, and so also in one
or two parts in other oonrts, he has nothing to do
but to draw his salary. The number of trial days
In a month Is nominally from fifteen to twenty, bat
really averages less than fifteen, so that the most
fhlly employed phonographer will receive not less
than *lB a day (of five hours or lees) for taking
notes j and in Fart 111. of the Supreme Court he
will make not leas than *33 a day,. In the special
Term of the Superior Court there Is so little done
that he will get at least *B6 a day. -Add to-all this
will he the fees for writing out, at ten cents per
hundred words, and frequently tMee copies are
ordered. Thus he really has a fine return for his
peculiar talent. nothlng moro howew, than the
difficulty of mastering the science and its grtat
value deserve. j_

Since the capture of Booth in Virginia, and the
acknowledgment of the faot that he found help and
ln the lower oo&ntgps of Maryland,.
. the Government has concluded to subject the In
habitants to. some punißbmgpt for their oomplL
city.' Military posts, -‘garrisoned by detachments
of Infantry and cavalry, have been organised In
Prince George’s, Charles, and StT'JSlary’S coun
ties, for tie purpose of breaking up alleged treason
able practices, and protecting such of the people
as are loyal. In order to Inflict some retribution,
the garrisons are lnstrueted to forage'on tho
country.
The Inhabitants seem to take this arrangement
with a good deal of ill-grace, and have, suddenly
discovered that It is 4belr duty to “ look the door
alter the horse Is stolen,” la Frino’e George's
county a reward of *2,000 has been offered for the
arrest, If token in that connty, of any persons sus
pected' to be concerned in the late-oonsptraoy to
murder. In St. Mary’s, the local journals maintain
that the people haveTiot yet beoome murderers and'
assassins. It is probable, they say, that Booth
passed through that section of our State, In seek
ing to elude the vigilance of his pursuers. Ills
possible, likewise, that he reoelved shelter aitd con
cealment. But that the people of' the oounties
named In Mr. Stanton's order concerted together
for his safety and escape, no one will believe who
has a propet knowledge of their oharacter.
The Fort TObacco Times defends Charles connty
also from any complicity, and endeavors to show
that the mere act of Atzerotk, one of the arrested
conspirators, being once a resident or Fort To
baocp, should not militate against that town.
Speaking of Atzeroth the Journal says:
“We see it Btated In some of our exchanges that
G. A. Atieroth, lately arrested as one of Booth’s
accomplices In the mnrder of the late President,
had resided In this village for twenty yeat;a. Such
Is not the ease. He first came to this place In 1867,
since which time he resldedhere until a fewmbnths
back; about Christmas he left and went to Wash
ington, where, It seems, he fell In with Booth and
became an accomplice in Ms infamous sohemes:
While here Atzeroth was looked upon as a harm
less, Inoffensive fellow, and as especially wanting
In that species of pluck and daring which we con
ceive to be absolutely necessary to constitute the
ooDsplrator and assassin.”
The Assassination Oohbvibact.— The court
martial which is to try those who have been arrested
on sueplolon of being accomplices of Booth Is to
meet 1% Washington next week. Ids said that a
large amount of evidence has been accumulated,
which will surprise the people when It Is laid before
them-through the newspapers for perusal. In
Washington much has been gathered. A journal
of that city says:.
These developments, resulting from a partial
-search, only show what would be brought to light
by uprooting and unearthing. If necessary, every
house in the District of Columbia. Seek for double
partitions, false walls, secret apartments, udder
cellars, where the great State, prisoners were to be
kept secreted in chains after being kidnapped. That
it is In evidence that President Lincoln, Vloa Presi
dent Hamlin, the members of the Cabinet, General
Grant, Chief Justice Chase, and Speaker Colfax
were marked as the victims of certain rebel
conspirators and assassins there Is little doubt.
That the plot originated with the ohlef politi
cal rebels In Richmond, was planned In detail
In Canada, and was to be executed In this olty,
there Is also no doubt. That secret, meetings were
held at the residences of Secessionists In this olty
to further the execution of this fiendish plot Is well
known. The arrests already made of persons ksdwn
to beparties to the murder of President Lincoln,
and the facts .thus far ascertained of the hellish
purpose of the rebel assassins to strike from exist
ence all the leading men of the National Govern
ment, thus leaving it without £legal head, and the
reins of Government to be seized by any erratic,
ambitious general who might at the rime be In the
field at. the hard of an army, will, when all is made

THB SCENE IN. DAHVIME WHEN JEFF DAVIS Alt-
SIVBDTBEnB— THE SUSPENSE BEFORE THS ,SUB-
KBEDBK—X-AWZ.BB BHBSS OF THE PBOPiB.
Danville, on the Dan river, one hundred and forty
miles from Richmond by rail, was, before the war, a
flourishing little place of about three thousand in
habitants, beautifully situated on a hill overlooking
the river, wbloh rolled gracefully between the hills
beyond until It was lost to the vision, turning
abruptly from Its course, by a small valley of great
loveliness. Its ohlef commercial feature consisted
In the tobacco trade. The counties adjacent to
Pittsylvania (tn which Danville Is situated) —Henry,
Patrick, and Franklin—are all In the richest part of
Virginia, and the yield of the soothing weed was
enormous. Like all Southern towns, Danville has
suffered greatly from the war by the utter stagna
tion of business and the premature decay so common
to the Southern climate.
Danville, on the morning of April S, presented an
unusually lively aspect. The news of the evacua
tion of Richmond had reaohed the place. Crowds
of men, women, and children, black and white,
nattered around the depot at the telegraph ojlleß
to hear the news. A thousand and one rumors were
rife. Soon the overloaded trains began to arrive,
and the confirmation of the sad news, with
many additional particulars, was eagerly listened
to by the Impatient crowd of bystanders. Soon
the train containing Mr. Davis wasannonnoed. As
the people crowded around: the car which contained
him, not a demonstration, hot evena faint cheer was
given, but a look of the blackest description
settled upon the features of every one present.
But, alas, for the blind devotees of the cause of the
rebellion, the worst had not yet come, Mr. Davis
wss Immediately invited to the palatial*residence of
Major W, B, Sntherlin. Mr. Trenholm and several
other'dignitaries accompanied him. Here he re
mained until he was obliged to leave the .plane a
lew days after. Mr. Benjamln- the fat little Score
tary of State, with the air of a French dancing
master, had-asmile—l should-have said a grin—for
every one. -By the vast Inliuxof strangers Danville
was thronged; every place was filled to Its utmost,
and the departmental clerks who soaompanled
the effects' of the. different) offices remained In
the oars, converting . them Into offloes, ware
houses,- kitchens, and bedchambers. The, Greens
boro Extension Railroad was used to its utmost
capacityiu transporting people who were ea route
South—some to their homes, others to visit some
friends, under whose roofs they might tarry -until
they could shift elsewhere for themselves. The
greatest state of uncertainty prevailed, and the
Swere beginning to feel really alarmed at not
g from Gen. Lee’s army. .Six days passed of
this terrible suspense. Brig. Gen. Hi H. Walker,
who commanded the line of defence on the Bieh
mond and Danville Railroad, was in command of
the place. He was in dally communication with
Mr„Davl(yetm no.accurate Information could be
heard from Gen. Lee. It was confidently expected
that he would make his way to the Danville Rail
road, and make the Staunton river the line or his

the best way they oonld to General Loe sarmy.
They went within sight of the armies, and returned
with the Information of the surrender, which at
first was generally disbelieved. ItmV
but by the time General Walker bad ridden to Mr
Davis’ house: the news began to spraad, and two
hours afterwards every one knew it*
eight was spent by many In the discussion ofthe
situation* Morning davraed, wid, life®
pie’s heart, was anil aid heavy-looklng. Thon
began the exodus. Stoneman’s ralderswerero
ported between Danville and .Greensboro, causing
painful apprehension to those who contemplated
flight, southward.' It was over one week from the
evaeuatlon of Eiehmond before the news of the sur.
render of Dee was known in Danville. By this
time the wagon trains and, those who had left Rich
mond on foot began to arrive, and theplaoo was
more thronged than ever. As all,the oars were
packed when they arrived an Danville, and the
wagons also, many valuable stores of great variety
were destroyed. l Mr. Davis and Cabinet left on a
train, and were fired into by Stoneman’s men Just
before they burned the trestle-work over Roedy
Ford creek.
evaeuatlon of DanvlUe began on Tussday
morning, and by Wednesday morning every one
who oonld get away had gone.,. Then began one of
those scenes so 'common In the South In places
evacuated. The poor of the plica began to plun
der Indiscriminately commissary stores, quarter
maator stores, medical stores—those that had aeou
mulftted by the blockade—of such quality that the
poor of Danville had not seen, save In their dreams,
during the war and in ante bellum time. Not only
did plunder fall exclusively lato the hands of the
poor of the city, hut they Oame from the oouutry by
droves. In the midst of the excitement a magazine
exploded, and the explosion of tho shells added
greatly to the excitement. j

Wp copy the full statement of the London Morn
ing Advertiser, concerning the reported alliance be
tween France and England for tho “ protection of
Mexico”—already referred to. It appears in the
Paris correspondenee:
11 On receipt of the newß of tho fall of Richmond
Louis Napoleon proposed to Lord Cowley, that
England and Franee should, by a treaty, offensive
and defensive, make common oanse against the
United States of America ; that ‘ln the event of
OBnada being attacked by them, France should as
sist England with all her land and sea forces ;> and
that in the event of the United States ‘openly or
eovertly attacking the Emperor Maximilian, or In
any wise endangering his throne,’ 'England should,
In conjunction with France, ‘defend aud support
Maximilian In the same manner and on the same
conditions as they sustained the Sultan of Turkey
- against the aggression of Russia. I do not
know .how'this very cool overture has been
received by our Government, but we know
what Us emphatle answer ought to be. On the
reassembling of Parliament next week this Import
ant eubjest is sure fo receive Immediate attention,
and the idea will be denounced In the strongest
language whloh ParUamentary notions of pro
priety will allow. Still more deep will be the ta
dlgnatlos of the country at the proposal; for the
whole nation still smarts at the remembrance or
the manner in which Louis Napoleon treated-us In
xmr unfortunate alliance with him m the ease of the
Crimean war. Were ministers to entertain the
Idea of the proposed alllanoe even for a day, It
would kindle a flame in the national bosom which
Sonld be productive or more serious effects than
te overthrow of a cabinet.” \-

The London papers of April 21st publish a letter
frSin Mr. Harvey, United States minister to Lis
bon, dated April 14th, correotlhg some false Impres
sions as to the firing into the Niagara at that port.
He' shows that the Federal commander was In no
way to blame, and says: w
“ While the firing was golngon, an officer of the
guard-ship Sag res presented himself on board the
Niagara to express regret for this violence, stating
at the same time that it must have originated in
some strange mistake, as his ship had received or
ders to permit the Niagara and Saeramento to pro
ceed to sea at 2 P. M. that day, an hour and a quar
ter before they began to move at all, If such was the
desire of the Commodore. By a providential lutor
poelllon no life was lost, and no Injury was lu
- lilcted. Commodore Uraven did not return the’
-. fire of the Castle, and to his discretion alone may be
attributed the happy exemption' from causes or
mourning, whloh every friend of humanity will ap
preciate and rejoice at. He considered and treated
these repeated acts of - hostility as proceeding
Horn an excesaof zeal on the part of a command
ant, who eltheT lgnored or misunderstood his duty,
ana. ho testified his friendship for and hiscond
dense In the justice of his Majesty’s Government
by refusing to take the redreis in his own hands.
« This is not the proper place to speak of the di
plomatic action which folio wed, bat it may be said,
as an answer to much-misstatement, that the repre
sentation was confined ,to the -facts, and that ex
planations and reparation have been accepted.
The manner i f proceeding wlll'be left to tho judg
ment of candid and enlightened men, when the
' correspondence should be. allowed to speak for
Itself.’’

Up to the ttme'of the departure-of the Scotia no
Information of the surrender of Lee had been re
ceived in England, but It was evidently expected.
The Times of April 20 says :
'- “It is not matter for surmise that the surrender or
General Lee and the total destruction of the ohlef
Sotftbern army should be hourly-expected. It is,
Indeed, quite possible that this may take place, for
Northern armies, which probably outnumber his re
maining forces ten to one, are pressing on him and
Closing round him. It remains to be seen what
course the chiefs of,the, Confederacy sued the Con
gress will take In this extremity. The obstinacy of
pnrpose of Mr. Jefferson Davlß, aud the majority of
the men whom the South chose ai its representatives, -
is well known, and doubtlese there are hot wanting
many who even In this hear of desperate fortune are
willing stiU to persevere. B,ut it may be that some of
them, desirous to stop the shedding of blood and
tbe miseries whloh a savage partisan warfare would
bring on the Southern population, may prefer to
give the power of negotiation to the General who, in
a series of glgantle battles, has commanded the ad
miration of the world,and whom even his adversaries
regard with a feeling far removed from animosity.
5 “ The -Confederates certainly ban now expect to
make but poor terms eompared with what they
might have'exacted a year ago; bht, evon now
- they havo tlio means oi lnfltoting saoli losseroo the
Worth, by -maintaining' their resistance, that the
Washlafeton Government may not-b'e unwilling to
graptkhetibxablp peaoe to thpse who have fought and
■ failed lAth honor. Even a hopeless contest kept up
by gnefllla'bands, without unity of purpose or any
object but revenge, may force the North to maintain
great armies -throughout the expanse of the
Southern States for many years to some. Saph.a
warfare mhst be deplored by every humane man,
“ Everyone must hope that If the South shall be
no longer able to contend with Its adversary .by,
rnesnS el-regular armtoe In tho field, ltwlll accept
the arbitrament of war, and return even to a hated
political connection rather than shed blood to ho
purpose. But it lsJmpoislole tosiy what desperate
resolve maj. be taken by men under the lnflueUce of
suehithreats ps the North has continually uttered,
and of snob laws as Congress has enacted. For
this reason wo hope that the leaders of the Confe
derates may Consent to bring the struggle to a close
if they really believe their military power at an end,
and that the North may meet them as,conquerors
should meet an honorable foe.”
; ‘ In another artiolb the Times expresses the opinion
'that a oordlal reunion Is possible: ,
." It Appears as If the North, which, though &o <
tuaHy victorious, has as mnoh to forget as. the
South, lsnot unwilling to perform its own part
In the. reconciliation. Its triumph has made it
jubilant, and brought out the good nature or the
"people.' They are proudevenof the achievements

Public Entertainments*
Tot )Nbw Ohestktjt Stbbet.—At this house
the deilghtlhl actress who is Us present “star,’’
has this week appeared as Lady Andley in the tell
ing drama, or, more properly, melodrama, called
“ Dady Audley’S Secret.” This play la of the same
olass as “ East Dynne.” It Is simply a rehash of a
popular novel, with strong and powerful effect In it,
which enables a loading actress to make it vividly
telling with the exoltable audiences of the present
day. Mrs. D. P. Bowers played the golden-haired
and oold-blooded'woman who Is the heroine of the
plot, and made' her exceedingly telling.. In soms
portions her Impersonation was a thoroughly true
portraiture of the criminal woman, and -produced
an efieot upon the audience whloh was most legi
timately created in the IHegltlmate'drama whose
powerful character she embodied. Mr. Mordauut’s
Hebert Aridity was good, but the Sir Michael of Mr.
Plsher was singularly false In Its interpretation. Sir
Michael Is decidedly an uxorious old gentleman o f
sound common sense, and would 111 no wise have
given-an observer the Impression of mental weak
ness. This, we regret to say, Mr. Fisher’s Sir
Michael most .decidedly did at the commencement.
Nor oan we say that it | Intellectually Improved
afterwards. Wo may, however, glveV considerable
credit to the Alicia ol Miss Annie Ward, and special
ly to the Phebe Marks of Miss E. Cooper, whloh only
needed greater vitality to have been a very clever
impersonation. We presume that, drawing as large
houses as it does, “Dady Audley’s Secret” will
oontinue on the bill, and Us golden-haired heroine be
performed by Mrs. I). P. Bowers for the next three
evenings.
Tbb Hahbbl abb Haydn'Sooikty.—it may be
seen in our advertising columns that the third and
last concert fof the present season will be given
on Friday evening next, at the Musical Fund Sail,
on whloh oeoaslon Neukomm’s grand Oratorio of

ablest In Oratorio now In this country, Mrs. Mozart.
She will be supported by Mr. George Simpson and
Mr. W. Fisher, as tenors, Mr. James Marks as
baritone, and Mr. A. B. Taylor as bass, with the
Getioanla orchestra and the chorus of the soolety,
both under the direction of Mr. Carl Sent*. This
oratorio ought, ftom its excellence and novelty, to
ensure the largest attendance of the season which
has been gathered together bvthe evening perform

tractions of the performance, as Gertrude and Peter
Spyke, in the “ Doan of a Dover.” The piece de re

stated, “The Streets of Now York.” Mrs. Thayer

several cknrohes, was held lastevenlnglnthe First

Hey. Danes Boardman; D. T>., -puter. , -
The exerolsns were opened With the singing of a
hymn. . . •
Her. Dr. Boardman, pastor of the ehureh la
which the meeting was held, then read the 13»I
Psalm—“ Behold haw good a thing ft B for brethren
to dwell together in unity.”
Prayer was then offered by tfte* same el*T£7m%a.
Bov. Franklin Moore, of the iff. E- Oburoh, was
called upon to jpresldh. On taking the ohslr, he
said he eonld not accept the position to whleh he
was called, without mabiag & few remarks'oil the
subject which called the audience together. - It
seems that the doctrine of the unity of the Church
is a sentiment that cannot he repressed! Thh Holy
Catholic Church which we mnramr In oar prayers,
is the Chnreh which we are all seeking to attach
Qorselyes to.
The troth will triumph In the subject of Christian
noltv The manner of that unity is not for us to
discus. God will take care or that. The work Is
oursT We have been told that we all shall be all
even as Christ hr the Father Almighty Is one.
We may as well' attempt to pinion the arms of the
Omnipotent as to attempt to prevent the comlugto
passof that tlmewhen Christ shall look upon His
holy Church universal.
After the singing of a hymn, Bov. Mr. Kimball,
of Brooklyn, was introduced. -
He said that the- conversion of the world is the
busteess of the Christian here, and as an antecedent
thereto, there should he harmony amongst all the
Christian leaders all over the earth. We rest upon
the principle that we are undertaking to study the
S raver of Christ, and to follow all that we do un*
erstand of it. Preach the gospel, the command Is,
andtbatls all wo have to do. While we remain
Brm to that command, we may have unity;
bnt as soon as we depart from it, there
will he difficulties arise In the way of' nnlty.
We do not set ont any plan, we set out for one ob-
Boston, was next introduaed.
He said: Tbe example of Christ throughout, Is an
example of Christian unity. He prays that pU' his
disciples may be one : aud, as there is a unity be
tween the Father and the Son, so should there be
a unity in the ohureh. He had been iu the East
.Boom of the White House on the oecaslon of the ob
sequies of our late beloved President, and he saw
there Christian ministers of all denomlnatlous
unlting together la one voice of, prayer;
He could not help thinking how beautiful to see
these representatives of different denominations
standing together and addressing the King immor
tal, Invisible and head of the Ohureh, and In
viting all presen tto join with them in their peti
tions to the Great Ruler of the universe. He
thought it was beautiful and tangible and would
bear fruit.
Bev. Dr. Newton also addressed the meeting,
which was afterwards dismissed with the benedic
tion by the Bev. Dr. Bomberger.
SWORD PBESENTATION.
Major B. .T. Tayman, U. S-A, was the recipient,
last evening, at the St. James, of a very excellent

op dnty In Philadelphia, recruiting for Major Gene

tributing the great auocess in recruiting to hts efforts,
the energetic and judicious manner In using the
press as the mighty engine to produce such sur
prising results. In a little over a month upwards of
1,500 veteran recrulta Had been sworn Into the service,
and bad tko war continued there would Have been
probably three times that number recruited at the
presenttime. The Major expects toatart,this ovonln g,

of this kind, a festive board was spread, and song
and sentiment prevailed. The occasion was a happy
one, and the party Anally separated, after singing
the song of “Auld Bang Syne.”
