There : is no threat, as you will per ceive, but there is almost a defiant and certainly a deliberate resolution which looks like a readiness for results, what ever they may be. Probably no stronger evidence of the con cert between certain British merchants and capitalists, and the rebel blockade-runners, could be furnished than this attempt of Earl RUSSELL to save the forfeited rebel property from just and lawful seizure by. the United P....tates Government. There is no escape from the position M whieli England is placed by Mr. SEwAno. Long before the rebellion broke down, and • before the English and French believed that it would break down, Mr. SEwARD was as serting, in his foreign correspondence, those principles of international law acknow ledged by all the Christian Powers. He never doubted that the domestic foe would be annihilated. In this faith he repeatedly dilated upon relative and reciprocal national duties, and doubtless had frequent conces sions as to the application of these principles. England probably did not believe she would be called upon to act upon them ; be cause her statesmen had not conceived such a collapse of the rebellion, and such an overwhelming triumph for the Na tional Government. But when nearly every word written. by Mr. Seward comes up in judgment against her, and in eloquent sup port and confirmation of the justice of our cause, Great Britain resorts to the mean and miserable subterfuge so admirably exposed in his letter to Sir Frederick Bruce. WASHINGTON. ENCOURAGING INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS. THE ARMY TO BE FURTHER REDUCED. Gen. Ewell takes the Oath of Allegiance GENERAL FORREST APPLIES FOR PARDON. Movements of Prominent Southern Poli- Special Despatch to the Press.] Southern Neu now Here—Complete Destruction or Slavery. .WASHINGTON, July 19,1865. A number of Southern men remain and arrive here ;daily. Janes L. Onn, ex-Speaker of the House of ItepresentativeS it among them. His letter in which he discouraged the maintenance of the forces under MAol7.l.lMili in Texas, on the ground that it would be impossi ble to resist the Federal Government, is indica tive of his appreciation of the duty of the South ern men. Intercourse with these people must lead any One to the Conclusion that any hope of the restoration of slavery, or of bringing back into place the men who have so long ruled American politics in Congress and the country, is the most ridiculous of absurdities. We should bear steadily in mind that, in breaking down the rebel lion, we destroyed the most formidable and dangerous aristocracy in the known world. It was an aristocracy Of force, fraud, and Cruelty, and snore fatal because of its assump tion of intellectual, physical, and even moral superiority. Other aristocracies had some just pretensions to great names, excellence in arts and science, and some times to philanthropy. They always as pired to set a good example to their de pendents. Such is the landed aristocracy and the titled nobility of England. With the downfall of the stupendous stave aristocracy, hoio ever, passed out of sight that which can never be re stored. Slavery (lies a quadruple death—hymili tory success, by proclamation; by the vote of the people of several of the States; finally, by Constitutional amendment—so that by every process and by all modes it is extinguished and 'with it everything dependent upon it. We have not begun properly to estimate this fact, but the slaveholders do. Hundreds of them have fled into foreign lands. Al though much complaint is made of the par dons necessarily granted by the Executive, thousands appeal and appeal in vain for this clemency ; anti finally those who get it secure it under such implied or expressed conditions as tie them to obligations, which is like a sleepless.sentinel over all their actions. There is not an hour these mon do not feel they have committed " a crime" in yielding to the rebellion. No matter how they "brave it out, , i you can see that it is like a canker-worm at their hearts. Men who are asking confi dence from their former creditors in the North are compelled to pile up pledges of sincerity and ' fidelity in order to be able to be believed; and those who are looking for a renewal of foreign commerce, know that the curse of , repu diation, which went hand-in-hand with re bellion, will operate against them in every maritime capital of the earth. It will be per ceived, then, that every element, personal, Political, social, pecuniary, and commercial, have combined to make them obedient and faithful. In other words, they *lll be loyal because it is their paramount interest to be so, Who Will insist upon suspicious and tyran nical measures against such people as these? It is said that from such condition no loving reunion can arise; but this is a mistake; - and every day proves it to be so. The Southern masses, dislocated by the experiment of the rebellion, terrified at the inconceivable horrors it has iniiieted upon them, bowed under the doable weight of their own remorse and their keen physical sufferings, look, in their despair and their extremity, to their former fellow 'citizens of the free States, for protection, for raiment, and for forgiveness. You need not be told, when all these are granted, there will not be reciprocity and gratitude. The best • remembrance, the one that lasts the longest, is that which grows out of an act of charity conferred in the darkest hour of human de spair. [123 - Associated Press.] Financial. The receipts under the internal revenue law are increasing and encouraging. The Secre tary of the Treasury telegraphed to the As sistant Treasurer at San Francisco to-day dis continuing the sale Of 7-305, as the entire loan will be taken before an additional supply of notes can reach California. The Payment of Soldiers. A statement has been republished in soma of the newspapers that the Paymaster General brill . immediately make requisitions upon the Secretary of the Treasury for $320,000,000 for soldiers' pay up to the first of July. This appears to be - a mistake, for on inquiry to-day it war aseavtained that PrOUably 51.50,000,000 will pay all that is due to soldiers mustered out; and to those who remained in service to the above-named date. , Applications for Pardon. About one hundred and fifty applications for pardon were received to -day by the Atter- Uey Ceneral. Among them the petitions of Lieut. General N, B. FOllauST, of Fort Pillow notoriety; W. B.

The reduction in• this description of paper has been from V.50,- 000,000 to less than 15150,000,000. It is probable, from present indications, that the Secretary will be able to meet the requisitions on the Treasury, under the powers conferred by the last Congress, without having occasion to re. sort to unauthorized loans. A perfectly constitutional method of laying tin export duty on cotton is said to befit course of preparation by one of the oldest and most experienced statesmen of the times. It will be ready for the action of the new Congress. The Navy Department has no chartered VES scls in its employ, and therefore no money is due to their owners, as has boon erroneously stated.

The =mint of the last series of the entire loan )of $600,000,000 of 7-30 s remaining, as ap pears from official data to-day, is $12,500,000. THE MURDER TRIAL. ACQUITTAL OF MISS HARRIS. [Special Despatch to The Press.] WASHINGTON, July 19, MI The court convened at ten A. N., Judge Wylie presiding. Every avenue leading to the court room was densely crowded long before the hour for opening the court. The attendance was de cidedly larger to-day than on any previous occasion. The members of the bar were com pelled for a time to stand, and the criminal box was Crowded - with ladies. Annie members of the jury were in attendance, and responded as their names were called. Miss Harris entered the court room at 19 1 /.: o'clock, accompanied by Messrs. Voorhees and Bradley and her female friends. The argument for the defence was continued By. Mr: Voorhees. He proposed to talk a ht.' tle while to the jury about the accused, and with his remarks the argument for the de fence would close. He did not deem it necessary to try to impress the circum stances of the ease on their minds, This was a most important case, and they would never, M all probability, have just such ano ther again. if this was a deliberate and ra tional murder it was for them to convict; if it vas not it was for them to acquit. They had been told that a murder had been committed, mid that theperpetrator of it was in this court. Do you tell me, gentlemen, that this pure girl who sits before you uninipeached did, at one leap, spring from innocence and purity to the committal of so horrible a deed? Who among you could believe that this act was com mitted by a rational and well-balanced mind? if it did the training of youth goes for nought, and you might as well tear down your school houses. Ile denied that Mary Harris had com mitted murder; that she had committed a crime ; that the killing of A. J. Burroughs • was a crime. You can but let this poor unfor tunate girl gO. In the time of youth, seven. years since, when she was but twelve years of age, a robust and happy girl, of humble but respectable pa rentage,this vile man made her acquaintance, and in time induced her to leave her home and friends. He finds her in her short dresses, takes her on- his knees, exerts himself to de velope and instruct her mind, to make her a suitable wife for him at a suitable age. He ab sorbs her every affection and ionhitioll, and makes her a - part and parcel of his own Me, so that it was death to separate her from him. This was the state and condition to which he brought this innocent and confiding girl. Let us look at her in her childhood. As she said to Mr. Bradley: "G . , you should have seen me, then! 1 was a big, fat girl, as happy as the days were long.' , We have a wider world to move in than woman. She lives within the circle of her - affections. The mother, watching over the Cradle of her sleeping babe, enjoys a bliss to us unknown. There is no love like that of woman's. Is there any doubt on the subject? Take these Burlington depo sitions, and you see how one woman loved how she relied on—confided in the object of her affection ; how she was swayed by him. When the parents of this unfortunate girl saw the perfidy of this man they cautioned her against him. But love is blind, and she followed hhn, rather than the counsel of her parents. He told her to go to Chicago, and she went: The speaker supposed the prosecution would cen sure her for that. Should she be blamed for clinging to a man in whom she had learned to place the most implicit confidence? But he deserted her whom he had brought up on his arm. It would be strange if, under such cir cumstances, she had not become demented, if she had not acted as she did. Such occurrences have filled the asylums of the world with inmates. Take the case with all its. circumstances. This man tore himself from this girl after hav ing,trained her as he did. His action was the action of a coward, a poltroon, and a vaga bond. He trained her to his Will, ana then left her. All such men should dangle at the end of a rope • they should.all die : they should all be killed. ' He left her a poor human wreck., This, of itself, has ruined many of her sex. 438 was not satisfied - with leaving her broken hearted—he would leave her desmsed,aye,even by her parents. The brother of the deceased has spared no pains to lay this girl's whole life before you—has tried to get other reverend gentlemen• to aid him, and even policemen. Did not A. J. Burroughs say in his letter that when lie had a thousand or two he would marry a pretty black-eyed little girl 1 The Prosecution asserted he had no stain upon his character. Had he not told this poor unfortu nate girl that if ever he should determine to marry another he would let her know? Does this show good character? The speaker then read- at portion of the letter in which Bur roughs spoke of the interception of the let ters, and Said that the church was scauning them ; that it was known that she hind formed an alliance out of her church, and that she contemplated marriage. As to the Greenwood letters, he dill not for one moment suppose they would ruin her. He knew she was too .lolty. It was known that these letters came to her just at the time he contemplated mar riage. He knew that she had letters showing claims upon him, and that she could make him Suffer before a court of ,justice. lie knew that if lie could get her to enter that house, and could have her seen to enter, . he could say he had proof of her visits there. This was he wanted. He knew it would cling to lice, and that she would be powerless. He did nut assert positively that lie wrote those letters, but he _had a confidante to whom he dictated. The woman, Ellen Mills, and the post-office clerk identified her. Love, mercy. and justice are on the side of this pure girl, The speaker here alluded to the Miss Devlins. They had ehmg to the accused when the world had forsaken her. They ure an honor tO their sex. One of them went to 94 Quincy street with Miss Harris, and the woman it him. Here is the picture she identified him by. The post-oftlee clerk - identified him, even to the spotted cornelian ring. Have you any doubt about the subject? Here is the testimony. The defence tried to get Ellen Mills here, but a the hundred dollars or two mat them, rani she could not be procured. instead of Burroughs 1 .) ,;,, g in search of the truth in this ease he gives his ear to the proposition of a hundred. dollars or two. Why did he not bring Ellen Mills here? He knew he dared not do it. He stands convicted of putting , these witnesses beyond the reach of the defence. He brings other - witnesses here, sial pays them for com ing, besides the mileage. II believer John C. Burroughs answers why he did not bring El len Mills here ,• when he will answer why he Will hand-in-glove with the policemen ; when he will answer why he did not bring e post olilee clerk, then we will know whether or not he is governed by an honest pur pose. You need not talk about man slaughter here. The act committed is either murder or it is 310 offence. This man Burroughs is not untitled to one particle of credibility in his testimony. Me says his only motive was to clear his brother's fame; he had nothing against this girl. But when he has paid his money to get witnesses to come here and testify ItS to her sanity, does that have anything to do whit his brotheeis charac ter. lie anticipated the defence, and brought here men to show that she was not insane. it was to suspend this poor girl on the gibbet, to send her into eternity, without the possi bility of a cause. Just ta the close of the case the prosecution put the question : " Ilave you ever heard the character of Miss Devlin impeached for vera eity r They appeared to look to sonic rove- Wien to help them ; to hope that the ty would do something in their behalf ; but the Lord was not 011 their side. If I,i-3T,111.1 It dsdid A. J. Burroughs, he 10 was Burrougad that was the author of those letters. It is prOef enough to know that she believed they mune from him. Tote poor ~•drl bundled up the let ters, pictures, c., and took them to J. C. Bur roughs, like a child. Re says it was on the ?GI h, but the speaker did not believe him.

Their honest faces speak for themselves. lie believed it was the 15th, because the prisoner told him so,' Dr. lilebobi bail Stated here that she bore an exalted character, and arm truth ful in every instance. The speaker did not be lieve she would tell an untruth if the scaffold were in her view. Dr.Burreughs says a girl was with Mary ; the Miss: Devlius say not. :Lir. Dm , roughs says there was no marriage engage ment, but there was; Miss Winton testifies to it, and the letters prove it. Did not J. C.

Ile had shown that she had been borne on the arm of Burroughs, and suddenly dropped. Need he read to the. jury from medical works? They were piled up here all around him. [The speaker here read from Sir William Ellis, several illustrations of the effect on the mind of disappointment in love-1 These eases, he argued, were all parallel, Wherevera jury finds a case like this they should clear the prisoner, and thus show that they would not be a party with the deceased in crime. As Judge Hughes said yesterday, retributive justice guided that ball. The de ceased had gone into the presence of a just God, and justice would be meted him. The de fence had placed Dr.Nicholsonthe stand, aman of eminence in his profession. He had heard the whole ease, and it was his view that it was an act of insanity, and was not the result of hatred or revenge. The doctor was now in court, and could speak for himself. It is pro. ven by an expert that such was the fact.. Has lie sworn to the truth? He has. Not only Dr. Nichols, but Dr. May, who is here, pro nounces the act to have been committed in a lit of paroxysmal insanity. It has been asserted by the prosecution that these doctors are not to be relied on—that they are mad doctors. Ruin we listen to the prosecution, and thus agree that all the pro gress of the age is a fandy,and countsnotlung? Re supposed they would have to go back to the age of barbarism, and from behind those tortilleatiOnS attack the prisoner at the bar. In view of this array of eminent doctors Who have testified here, can the juev bring in a verdict against the prisoner? He would em phatically say that Mr. Bradley' and the learn ed doctors mentioned were above suspicion, and were entitled to the greatest amount of credit. It would be urged that. Dr. Young vi sited the prisoner at the jail, andperceived no symptoms of insanity. He would quote from " * Erskine in behalf of Hadfield," as applicable to the case now under trial. The prosecution insisted that because Mr.btrong had testified that he had seen the accused in his store Once or twice, and perceived nothing to indicate In sanity, that she was not insane. Will they continue this line of argument? Mr. Voorhees quoted from Dr. Niehol's testi mony, to prove the insanity of the prisoner- at the time of the homicide. Dr. Nichols was the St. Peter of the Gospel in this case, and he would defy the opposition to break it down. He then read Dr. May's answer to Mr. Brad ley's questions. Dr. May was termed a 00111.- mo» sense doctor by the prosecution. As a physician of thirty years' practice, he is en titled to all respect and credit. He would like to know why the prosecution did not call some more witnesses of that kind? If A. J. Burroughs had murdered his client, even by slow process, she would not have suf fered as she has suffered. He need not pause to discuss the character of this girl. Did not Secretary McCullough say lie never saw such exhibition Ofgrief and despair, and did he not take his family to the jail the very next morning and that they there. pronounced her irresponsible. No one here wanted to dip their bands in the pure and innocent blood of thiS poor girl, but the prosecution and Dr, BM - roughs. Was it for fame that Mr. Bradley tar bored in behalf of this poor girl, night and day? No! but because her pure, upright spirit has won his admiration, as it has of all het COunSel. He would repel the slander thrOWnilpOn this district—that it was the resort of criminals. It -was without foundation. If the court mue* punish crime committed here, let it be the party Who merits it, but not on this poor, In nocent girl: He would now give the case to the jury, and hoped they would be governed: by both justice and mercy in them delibera tions. Mr. Voorhees concluded his address to the court at one (Mock, and the Court took a cess. On reassembling - Mr. Carrington began his argument for, the prosecution. He congratulated the jury and the court that they were reaching the end of this long and tedious trial. He knew the jury were guided by the fear of the Almighty, and not by the influence of man. The defence would have you believe this Mary Harris a model of virtue and purity. They tell you that ladles in Chicago carry pistols and avenge their wrongs, and they would introduce the same custom here. He felt a heavy responsi bility resting upon him, and hoped he would be aided in the performance of his duty. Would the jury say that this woman was guilty of murder? They . could not say . otherwise. He would remind them of their solemn oath. They must dry up their tears and proceed to the strict performance of their duty. There were four questions : First, Was the murder committed by the prisoner at the bar! Second, Was it committed within the jurisdiction of this court? Third, Was it a justifiable 'homicide? Fourth, If not, was it not murder or manslaughter? Mr. Carrington was continuing with his ad dress when our report closed. Ssoel ATED PRESS ACCOUNT.] SHE Di ACQUITTED. WASItmoToN, July lo.—The trial Of Miss Mary Harris for the killing of A: T. Burroughs terminated this afternoon, having occupied twelve days. The room was densely crowded with spectators, including many women, long before the court was formally opened. Hon. D. W. Voorhees made the closing speech in behalf of the accused, contending that, from all the affecting circumstances and wrongs in- Meted neon her by tile deceased, the homicide was an act of insane impulse. District Attorney Carrington delivered the concluding argument for the prosecution. He said appeals had been made to the sympathies of the jury—nothing else, and lie would prove it. ‘, Great God," he exclaimed, " what an array of counsel—JOseph IL Bradley, the great and eminent lawyer i" Before he had finished the sentence, Marshal Gooding interrupted the speaker, telling the audience they must cease laughing, or ho would arrest them. Mr. Carrington said: "Let them laugh, Judge ; they have the right to laugh or cry." Marshal Gooding responded: "Mr. Carring ton, I will regulate that matter." Mr. Carrington, resuming, said: "Very well, I submit;"and, continuing his remarks, said: "If the jury acquit this woman on the ground of insanity, they put upon the records of the court afact that would make them look ridicu lous. The scene is laid in Chicago. We find Mary Ilarris meets Mary Devlin, who keeps a millinery establishment. What kind of an establishment was that l" Judge Hughes here called the attention of the court to the misrepresentation of the evi. dance by the District Attorney, Judge Wylie informed the District Attorney that he should not retaliate upon Miss Devlin as to the character of the house, because the counsel for the defence had attacked Dr. Burroughs. Judge Wylie said there was nothing in the evidence against the character of the house of Miss Devlin, and he would not permit him to make an attack upon the house, though he might Comment as much as he pleased on the testimony of these ladies, but he •should not assail her house, against which there was no evidence. Mr. Carrington said, "No man shall say that I was ever seen to cower. I discharge my duty in the fear of God and without fear of man.,? Judge Wylie. You shall not go on in that manner. Y will have no discussion between you and myself to be determined by the Jury. Judge Hughes said he did not desire to in terrupt the District Attorney, and he there fore hoped he would confine himself to the evi dence, and within bounds. Judge Wylie said it ISMS unpleasant for him to interrupt the counsel, but, in the closing argument, the counsel must limit themselves to the recognized bounds. Carrington resumed his plea, and again denounced idiss Devlin. Mr. Bradley said such conduct was un becoming a gentleman, and no gentleman would use such language. He could not sit quietly and suffer this unprotected lady to be insulted by Mr. Carrington, or anybody else. • Mr. Carringtou said ho would do his duty. Mr. Bradley rejoined, " No gentleman would use such language." Mr. Carrington said he would return the insult—the gentleman having used such lan guage against Dr•. Burroughs. Mr. Bradley said that Miss Devlin was brought here by him, and he would protect her. An attack upon her was an attack upon hint, and ho would Mont The Court ordered Marshal Gooding to stop this quarreling between the lawyers, and formed Mr. Carrington that he was going be yond bounds, in using such language towards the lady against whom there was nothing in the evidence. After Mr. Carrington had concluded his plea, Judge Wylie said to the jury that the law had been laid down by the court; feeling satisfied that they understood it, he now sub. milted the ease without further charge. He hoped they had made up their minds, and Would 80011 render their verdict. The jury retired, and in' about ten minutes returned with a verdict of " Not,guilty." The announcement was received with loud applause, and seine of the women cried With joy. Handkerchiefs were waved and hats thrown up. A large number of the siMetaters rushed towards Miss Harris to congratulate her on her acquittal, but she had fainted, and was carried out of the court rbom in the arms of Mr. Bradley, her senior counsel.

THE SIENGERFEST. THE GREAT CONCERT TOURNAMENT, PHILADELPHIA SOCIETIES AWARDED BOTH PRIZES On Tuesday night the great tournament be tween the different singing societies assem bled in New York, took place at the Academy of Music. An immense audience assembled ‘to listen to the curious concert. The Se:lnge runde, of Philadelphia, was the first to appear, and was received with applause, and their singing, with that of all the rest, is described in the New York Tribune. " The worst piece of the programme," it says, "fell to the Barri gerund% of Philadelphia, which probably had some effect upon their singing, for although their execution was fair, their intonation was very faulty. Their success was very mode rate." The Liedertafel of Buffalo followed in a composition by C. L. Fischer. The composi tion was very charmixtg, and the singing took the audience by surprise and held it, breath less. The voices are very, line, and display a thorough training. They sang in admirable, taste, their pianos and fortes were strictly ob served, and in both effects their intonation was perfect. - Their crescendo was admirable, no varying in the quality of the tone being ob servable. The effects produced corresponded with the points of high excellence mentioned, and drew forth an overwhelming encore, when another piece was substituted, which still further proved the splendid aceoMpliSliments of the Liedertafel of Buffalo. We felt satisded that whatever might follow, this Society would be the foremost class among which the prizes would be awarded. The Orpheus of Philadelphia is by no means a strong club ; the tenor voices are weak, the others not very good, and their style is rough, and somewhat unrefined. The Stengerbund of Hartford sang the spirit ed Weinellof, ,, by Xreuger, with such a force and vivacity, and at the same time so much delicate phrasing, and such breadth of artistic effect, that they oained a unanimous demand for repetition, but they did not comply. They have line voices—the solo was especially beau tiful; they are prompt to time, and have but one fault, which may, however, only be occa sional—namely, a little want of firmness in the missing modulation. . The Arlon of Baltimore were evidently not in singing order, for they sang out of tune ;- their intonation was generally faulty, and in the modulations they were decidedly uncer tain. The Smngerbund of Buffalo sang "Der Wald" of Passer most admirably, .and gained a tu multuous encore. Their voices are very line they sing in admirable taste, and hi point of tone, coloring, and general artistic effect of Cent/IWO—pianoforte,. crescendo and senti ment, and expression, it must certainly Stand in the foremost rank of competitors. • The second part was opened by the Smnger bund of Philadelphia, with a charming work by Kalliwoda, which was sung in a masterly manner. They have evidently been finely trained, and it is just as evident that they are Pliant material, that can be moulded in the way required. They possess all the excellencies mentioned as belonging to the first class of competitors. 'They were encored, of course, and substituted another piece, which was snore finely Sung, if possible. Boils pieces were of a higher class of composition and were very difficult, which, as they were sung so well, is significant as to their standing among the singing societies on this occasion. The Germania of Baltimore sang well. The voices are good—one bass comes out like a thirty-two-foot pedal pipe, but they are not reliable in intonation. -CaMCC3I64, -- oF -3.4a•50 gVateit9DS/e 8111 g very tastefully, but their intonation is bad, espe cially in the modulations, where shay are apt to be very shaky as to time. They were, how ever, encored. The Liederkranz of Baltimore have defy' fine voices, and sing admirably. They sing promptly ; theirpianos are exquisite, and their crescendos all that could be desired. The bari tone solo was charmingly suug, and the whole performance was .full of taste and sentiment. It made a great impression on the audience, and won a hearty encore. This Society ranks first-class. The Liedertafel Gemeinde, Pliihulel phia,created well-deserved enthusiasm by its exquisite rendering of Abt's Abendfeier. The composition and the singin g were gems worthy of admiration. In all the points of excellence which we have mentioned, this society is distinguished, and they can take their rank among the first. The Junger Inannerchor of Philadelphia was received with enthusiasm, and their tine sing ing proved that they deserved their welcome. They sing in tine style, have admirable voices, and are good in every point. At tint their intonation was a little imperfect, but they speedily recovered and went on without a blemish to the end. A hundred bouquets were thrown to them and they had to repeat their performance amid loud applause. First class, too. The Liedertafel of Philadelphia closed the concert, and sang in a very creditable manner. It will be seen by our remarks, that the singing, generally, was of a very high order of: nerit. We have designated seven socie ties as first class. They are the Liederta fel of Buffalo, the Samgerbund of Hart ford, the Siengerinind of :Buffalo, the Smn gerbund of Philadelphia, the Liederkrans of Baltimore, the Liedertafel U. Gremeinde of Philadelphia, and the Junger Manner clior of Philadelphia. We do not presume to anticipate the judgment of the prize judges, but we think the victory will rest be tween the Liedertafel of Buffalo anal the shun gerbuml of Philadelphia. Both are equal ill all points of excellence, excepting perhaps that the Buffalo Society displayed more deli cate artistic perception of the 'finer shades of tone-coloring. The music they sang was of a simple character, while that of the Philadel phians was ambitious in its difficulties. The singing of both was equal in excellence, and with us the decision would rest in favor of Philadelphia, judging by this single learning, which is hardly fair, because ot the higher character or the music performed. In every way it was a delightful concert, and the piill lie of New York is indebted to the enthusiastic, amateur German musicians for a rare enjoy ment which we shall not soon forget. May these societies prosper, and may they spread far and wide over our hind, bearing with them the spirit of harmony, peace, friendship and good-fellowship ! THE RESULT OF THE CONTEST. The judges—Messrs. Timm, Theo. Thomas, and iflaycrhofei•—after due deliberation „have awarded. the two prizes to two of the Phila delphia societies. These prizes are a hand somely-chased silver goblet and a richly alma mented banner. THE PROCEEDINGS OP YESTERDAY.

But the excitement was not confined alone to the Germans, for the publicity given by the Press of this city, to the Samgerfest, attracted a large number of people from other nationali ties, so that by o'clock, the Bowery, from Houston to Eighth street, was alive with the populace. Thc appearance of the procession, as it reeved through the Streets? was very /the ' The hags of every society fluttered gayly in the morning breeze, and many tokens of public appreciation were bestowed as thesepassed the crowds of people who lined the streets. Several times the crowd burst forth in a loud cheer, which was particularly enthusiastic as the tte silken dog of the Virginia of Rich mond passed the corner of Bowery and Broome streets. Tiii little German national flag of the Man nerchor of Philadelphia, the firEit of singing society on this side of the Atlantic, which was presented in ISli at Philadelphia, at a time when only the Mannerehor was in ex istence, was also honored with cheers. About half-past ten the military cortege entered the park, followed immediately by the singers. They were reviewed by the Mayor, who was attended by Dr. Bergman, but by none of the city officials except a representative from the Controller's office. The procession Marched past the reviewing office in quick time, with drums beating, and colors droop. ing. Contrary to public expectation, no ad dresses were made. TUE :MARCH TO JONES' WOODS.

ITEMS. -A committee of citizens residing at and in the neighborhood of Spottsylvania Courthouse, Va., have issued an address, setting forth that the people are totally destitute of nearly everything. They say: "Before the close of the war the authorities of the county were, aiding in the support of two hundred and eighty destitute families, embracing about 1,460 persons. The class of destitute and suf fering poor is increasing daily. For obviona reasons, the county authorities have no ability to extend them anypreaene help. Yet, if speedy help does not come from some quarter, actual starvation must fall upon many families. The Federal authorities have furnished some food for the suffering, but the amount is wholly in sufficient to relieve the present need of Ulu sufferers; nor is there any certainty as to hew long this source of partial aid may be con tinued. If the alarming necessities of the pre sent time—say a period of four months—can be supplied until the corn-growing crop is gathered, then, and in the meantime, some plans of permanent relief may be devised and set to work."
