PHILADELPHIA POLITIES.
'The Democrats have nominated their
.candidates formunicipal and for county offi
cers, to be voted for at the coming elections.
So far as we bIOW, these candidates are
generally citizens of excellent character.
DANEEL M. Fox, who is named for Mayor,
is much respected for his integrity and in:
telligence ; and CHATtLES J. Buena, the
nominee for City Solicitor, is an esteem
ed and unexceptionable gentleman. The
Democrats . have placed one soldier upon
their ticket—Captain JonN T. RILEY, for
Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas—a
barren compliment, we surmise, to a most
deserving man. The Legislative ticket has
several of the names of the old mem
bers upon it for the House, but the
Candidates for Senator in the Second, S.
H. DAVIS, and Fourth district, G. W. H.
SMITH, are both new men. There does
not seem to have been much excitement
in the Conventions, tho Ugh there was
bloody skirmishing in the Eighth and
Seventeenth - wards, between some of
the factions. At the fight in the
- former, two men were seriously injured.
The conflict in the latter has resulted in
another "split" in the Thirteenth Legisla_
tive district, the scene of a former bitter
feud between the MANN - Ems and the an
ti-Dow-NEI:Li divisions. The only resolu
tions adopted were the following, passed by
the County Convention :
First. That we hereby reelliten our devotion
to the old-time principles of the Democratic
party.
Second. That we also reaffirm our devotion to
the laws and Constitution, and our unaltered
attachment to the glory and welfare of our
eountry.
That to insure the perManemey of free
institutions, to consolidate the union of the
Stateit, and to develop the prosperity of the
land, it is the duty of all citizens to aid us in
restoring . to power a party whose principles
are in unison with the institutions Of the conn
try, and that knows no power superior to the
Constitution and laws of its country and State.
Fourth. That we welcome home thosegallant
men whose bravery upon a hundred fields
Maintained the glory of our flag. All honor
their
. patriotism and valor, and will protect
their nut erects against all who may assail them.
What is exactly meant by "the old,time
principles of the Democratic party," is not
stated. In Ohio there is quarrelsome di
versity as to whether the Calhoun doctrine
of State rights is included in these tenets.
In Maine, President Jonxsoic's reconstruc
tion policy is inserted as one of them, In
Kentucky and Delaware it is a "Demo
cratic principle" to oppose the constitutional
abolition of slavery. Since the "old time"
doctrines went to wreck at Charleston and
Ealtimore in 1860, and the " new time"
declaration at Chicago, in 1804, that the
war against the rebellion was " a failure,"
provoked the protest and sealed the fate
of. General McCLBLLAN, the only safety of
the Madera is to dedin harmleze generali
ties, and to bide the issue of events. This
was evidently the design in the enunciation
of such.vague and indefinite platitudes as
the above by the Philadelphia Democracy.
The National 'Union party. has not yet
elected the delegates to its Convention for
the nomination of candidates for municipal
and county officers, and for members of
the State Legislature. These important
bodies will meet on Timrsday of next
week. Although not much feeling has
been exhibited in political movements since
the close of the rehdlion, every day makes it
certain that the people are watching the
party managers with a keener zest than
usual, and that the events of the coming
Congress will be of transcendent interest.
Every intermediate election is, therefore, of
considerable consequence. In city matters,
the reported action of lion. ALEXANDER
HENRY, declining to be a candidate for re
election as Mayor, has produced a decided
"sensation." The retirement of a chief
magistrate at once so vitriolic, unselfish,
and firm, elicits much regret, and will
necessitate great care in tile selection of a
successor who will he qualified to pursue the
same and even a more inclepenclent course.
The names of some of our best citizens are
suggested as candidates. The City Conven
tion cannot be too discriminating and delibe
rate on this subject. Our city debt is enormous
—our taxes anprecedentedly higliang the
demand for an energetic, positive, and in
quiring administration, universal. In fact,
nothin,gis more alarming, in view of the
future, than the heavy and increasing in,
debtedness of our municipalities, great and
small. Se know of no subject more
worthy of the statesman's reflection and
advice. It concerns us, then, to put forward
such a citizen for Mayor, and such candi
dates for City Council, and for the State
Legislature, as will have intelligence to un
derstand and firmness to cope with this
weighty responsibility. We hear of no op
position to Mr. MACE, District Attorney of
the County, and Mr. BREWSTER the City
Solicitor ; and this, doubtless, because
their capacity and courage are admitted by
friend and foe,
We cannot conclude without expressing
the hope that the delegates of the National
Union party will bear in grateful recollec
tion the deservings of the brave men to
tshose heroism we are indel)ted for the de
vuu nuivation'Bl*
feat_ IN C '
the Republic. Among these modest yet
powerful and controlling classes, we recog
nize talent and fitness for any position in
the gift of tbe people.
THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.
To the ignorant the world seems full of
contradictions, and nature but a vast sum
of discords ; yet to the -wise the whole uni
verse appears as one grand, harmonious
unit, an anthem without a single dis
cordant note, a sublime movement ad
vancing from first to last, from principal
to ultimate in a continuous progression
ever upwards, ever onwards, " unbasting,
unreging." The researches of the natu
ralist, the deductions of the philosopher,
and the fancies of the poet, corroborate
each other, and find common foundation
upon the grand, fundamental laws oLthe
universe. The wildest legend or romance
current among the infant peoples becomes
a reality in the science of after-time. The
giant of the " Arabian Nights," imprisoned
in the little casket, becoming, when libe
rated, a huge and threatening tyrant, to
be again enslaved by the magic seal of
Solomon, is but a grotesqUe legend, a
mere imagination of a wandering story
teller ; yet the mystic signet of Solomon
meant even to his hearers that knowledge
of nature which made him master of its
great forces ; and modern science can re
read the story as the history of the new
giant steam, the obedient slave of the
Word which orders him to spread o'er
land and ocean, and even plunge into the
depths of earth for the golden tresures
hidden under its surface.
In the same grand ,system of adjustment
we find that the nations of the earth have
been educated as the child in his father's
house ; that is, that the peoples have been
separated and confined wit l ig. OWtt
national or family. limits by,::' , arrkels built
by Nature, mail the hottr.Whonlhey were
fitted to mingle with each other, as the full
grown man is sent to try his strength in the
world of society and business. The struc
ture of the continent of Asia divided the
peoples not only into nations, but into
tribes. - Even Europe, although of a legs
marked type, gathered the inhabitants of
each river _basin into a separate nation,
inimical to 'tole int' the other aide of the
mountain range which gave their own river
its direction, and controlled its currents.
The grand Meeting-ground for which the
nations were slowly and surely preparing,
through all the vicissitudes of history, was
found in the western world ; and here the
adult peoples are gathering. In this new
country society was to assume its simplest
and most natural form, and mankind to
find conditions where old questions could
be sOlved, and ancient wrongs remedied.
A continent of simple structure stood al
ready prepared for the use required of it,
and the narrow belt of ocean-coast first in
cluded in the primitive union of "the old
thirteen," broadens with the growing time,
until it spreads from ocean to ocean, im
pressing the great rivers and mighty moun
tains with all their buried treasure into its
service, and proves the justice of the claim
by the grandeur of the results.
An American author has represented the
contrast of the natural and geological for
mation of the continents, by comparing
Asia and Europe to the form of bowls in
verted, where all currents diverge from a
centre, while America, on the contrary, is
the bowl with a mountain rim on either
ocean, giving a vast centre, into which all
tides may flow, mingling and combining in
peaceful and happy fusion, eeology has
prepared the continent for the office. The
nations of the world come to us seeking
refuge, and demanding that we shall fulfil
our prescribed duty. It is our work to see
that it iteCeMes no cauldron of seething
discords, but a cup of peace and amity.
AMERICAN PROGRESS.
The last four years have fully impressed
the world with the conviction that Amer"-
can affairs are not to be judged.hy prece
dents in our own or other countries. We
hive achieved so many "imossibilities"
that we have a right to assert that in our
lexicon "there is no such word as fail."
We have only to be true to ourselves, just,
wise, and faithful to our destinyjto secure
for the nation a future as brilliant and tri
umphant as her past history. Our citizens
abound in energy, intellect and - wealth, and
the war proved that beneath the crust of
peaceful industry an inexhaustible mine of
heroism was always slumbering, ready for
instant service wherever an exigency should
demand its exercise. While the struggle
with the rebellion was at its height, the
ordinary business pursuits of the North
were prosecuted with a degree of activity
and zeal never exceeded before. The Go
vernment set the example - in authorizing
and assisting, in the midst of its severest
financial straits, the construction of the
Pacific Railway, an international thorough-'
fare that will revolutionize the whole course
of commerce, aril accelerate immensely
the development of our national wealth ;
and in completing great public buildings,
whose construction had languished for
years. The people caught the same spirit,
and, organizing trade and business orran
almost entirely new basis, greatly increased
the productive capacity of their ordinary
establishments, and opened up entirely new
sources of Vast wealth in our petroleum dis
tricts and in the rich gold and silver mines
of the Western Territories. Now that
peace is restored, there is ft natural de-
Pression in those pursuits which were
dependent for prosperity upon military
necessities ; but the foundations are
being laid for future industrial opera
tions of the most profitable character - .
The Southern States are preparing,
slowly it is true, but surely, to supplyerops
of cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. North
ern farms are, with the assistance of the
labor furnished by the disbanded soldiers,
being put into the -best possible order.
Manufacturers are looking confidently to
the nation for such protection As will ena
ble them to compete with 'foreign rivals.
American commerce, since the Confederate
privateers have been swept from the ocean,
is rapidly regaining its old position. And a
vast tide of emigration is sweeping westward
to the Rocky Mountains to found new giant
Republics, and to extract mineral treasures
that will exceed in value the products of
any other age or country, The Pacific
Railway is no longer a ;ague project but a
living reality. In a very brief period the
whole route from San Francisco to Nevada
will be completed, and it is confidently
predicted that in less than four years the
eastern sections will be extended to Colo
rado. As the smoke of battle clears away,
the American people are getting a dis
tinct idea of what next is to he
clone, and with characteristic, promptitude,
action speedily follows discernment and
resolution. In a short time, all the ener.
cries that achieved victory under the lead of
Our brave generals and wise statesmen, will
be turned actively and effectively into the
most important and most remunerative
channels of peo.ceful industry, and then we
shall again amaze mankind by exhibitions
of our capacity for agriculture, manufac
tures, commerce, and mining, and advance
in wealth with a rapidity for which past CX"-
perience furnishes no precedent
"THIS IS THE TIME
In its issue of yesterday, the New York
Hereto, speaking of " the Panic in Wall
street," solemnly and sadly announced that
"the scenes of 1837 and '57 seemed likely
to be re-enacted, and even on a more gigan
tic scale, " and that the beginning of the
end is approaching, and unless some radi
cal change is made, and that speedily, M
our financial system, we must pass through
a depressing ordeal before we regain our
former healthy condition." But, in an
other article, vis-a-vis to this dark prophecy,
the sank consistent journal praises Up the
project of building a new opera-house in
New York, and says : " This is the time,
then, for the project of a suitable opera
house, where Italian, German, and French
opera could be given." That is, when the
scenes of 1837 and '57 are likely to be re
enacted, and even on a more gigantic scale,.
and the beginning of the end is ..anmr.
MP we are tad 1 This reminds one of
the popular story that Nnno fiddled while
imperial Rome was in flames. A more gi
gantic monetary and business crisis than
'that of '37 or '57, declared to be imminent,
and "this is the time, then," for building
a new opera-boast , I If this be a joke, it is a
very heartless one.
THE RECENT DEFALCATIONS in New
York startle the country alike by their ex
tent and the position of the criminals.
They are fearful indications of the demo
ralization of financial circles, and of the
clangers of rash and extensive speculations.
They should not, and we hope will not,
produce a panic or a feeling of general dis
trust, but they will necessarily and properly
ensure increased caution in the manage
ment of banking institutions, and in the
scrutiny of cheeks, as well as of the busi
ness transactions- of the men who draw
them. The thirst for sudden acquisitions
of wealth, expensive and extravagant ha
bits, and the ease with which, at the worst,
frauds are compounded by a surrender of a
portion of the spoil, have combined to make
swindling by far too common an offence.
Severe punishments should be rigidly en
forced against villains of this class ; a little
of the spirit of the old laws which hung
forgers would exercise a wholesome influ

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
- KETCHUM FRAUDS.
THE TOTAL LOSS ESTIMATED
AT $4,000,000.
The New 'York Post of Met evening contains
the following additional partieulate of the
great Ketchum defalcation in New York. The
Post says
The great defalcation, in which the house of
Ketchum, Son, tt Co., of No. 40 Exchange
Place, and other financial houses and‘institu
tions are so deeply involved, is the subject of
unabated interest today in Wall street and
elsewhere, though few important facts, in ad
dition to those embraced in the accounts of
the Evening Post, have yet come to light.
THU LOSSES OF RwrcEnnw& Co
The losses of the house of Ketchum, Sons, &
Co., in consequence ,of the abstraction and
subsequent hypothecation by the son of the
senior member of the firm, of bonds and other
securities left with it for Safe-keeping, orlas
the basis of credit, are, so far as is now ascer
tained, $2,500,000. •
It is impossible at this stage to learn the
amount of the missing paper, for lists of the
securities were not kept, there being no occa
sion to enter upon the books an aceount of
bonds the firm bad received in charge, but did•
not insure ; so, until all the persons who hail
left papers with the firm make application for
them the extent of the abstractions will not
appear. It is thpught, however, that it eannet
exceed three millienS of dollars.
The abstracted securities were not entirely
the property of dealers with the banking
house, but belonged in part, it is understood,
to the house. The account; however, is not
complete, and cannot be within a day or twO.
As already reported, Ketchum & Co. are plac
ing in bank, to the credit of the senders, all
funds sent to the firm.
Norris Itetchum & Co. will hold themselves
responsible for the missing securities, on ac
count of the fact that they were abstracted by
a member of the firm. It is doubtful, how
ever, whether, had the property been lost by
fire or under any ordinary circumstances, or
even under the present eirounistances the
firm could in law be held to replace it. The
name Of the firm was used onlyonce by Edward
Ketchum, and that wason theflay of his flight,
when he obtained upon a cheek the sum of
three hundred thousand dollors.
NIL GRAHAM'S LOSSES
The losses of the broker Chailes Graham,
who acted for Mr. Edward Ketchum, and who
redeemedforged checks amounting to t 285,000
on Tuesday, before their character , was dis
covered, will foot up more than a. million of
dollars. lie had hypothecated for Mr. Ketchum
in his own name, however, forged gold certifi
cates of the sum above stated. Other certifi
cates be bad received from Mr. Ketchum,
amounting in one instance, to half a million
dollar% and another thrpe_linndred thousand
dollars, and in still others to one hundred
thousand dollars and less, have, since the dis
covery of the defalcation, been examined, and
been found genuine. The fact that the false
papers were used along with so many good
ones, accounts partly for the failure to dis
cover the forgeries at an earlier day. Mr.
Graham is makingarrangementsto Settle with
his creditors on suitable conditions.
VARIOUS LOSSES
Charles
largest losers are Ketchum & Co.,
Charles Graham, the Importers' and Traders'
National Bank, and the Fourth National Bank.
The card of the latter was published yester
day. The following . card has been issued by
the Importers' and Trades , Bank:
IF IMFORTBIIS , AND TRADERS' NATIONAL nASig,
NEW YORK . , August 16, 1865.
" Various rumors are in circulation in regard
to losses sustained by different parties on ac
count of the recently developed forged checks,
and among ethers the name of this bank is
mentioned, I would state for the information
of the public, that this bank holds three hun
dred and thirty dive thousand dollars of these
said-to-be forged checks, as collateral securi
ty for loans, which amount, should it prove an
entire loss is nearly covered by the present
surplus and earnings.
"JAMES Buntt, President',
Brokerg and other persons share in the losses
in smns from $40,000 or $50,13043 to tticiopoo in one
instance. Their names are notreommunleated
for wiblication. The statement of the total
loss already given 04,000,0000 is the lowest
it is estimated the - figures will finally show it
to be.
HOW THE. SECITHITIRS Wpm ABSTRACTED
l-ow long the abstraction of the securities in
charge of lietchum,Son, & Co. has been in pro.
gress is unknown. The business was done with
the greatest ingenuity and caution. Young
-Ketchum, as a member of the firm, and as the
manager of its business, had every facility for
the work he undertook.- He knew what secu
rities would be called for at anygiven time,
loans having been effected for stated periods
and he used his knowledge in such a manner
that there was not even the faintest suspicion
of his acts up to the day of his flight.
Some of the envelopes in which bonds were
kept are found neatly folded or tied, and laid
away, as though Complete ; though their can
.tents are no longer to be found, and theta is
no evidence of their existence.
The time when the forged gold certificates
were arst used by hypothecation is uncertain.
The cheek-book from which they were cut was
obtained on Or about the 27th of June, it would
appear, from the fact that a checked thousand
dollars—the !price on sums deposited for the
cheek-book, was paid by Air. Graham orrthat
day.
The signatures are very badly executed.
Some of them are not even imitations of genu
ine signatures, and a considerable proportion
are apltobe easily recognizable as the writing
Of /Alward ketch-um.
The numbers of, the false elle:0W out, and
the whole amount of them are not known, and
the precise state of tacts may not be ascer
tained for several days.
YOUNG NETCHUICS STOCK SPECULATIONS
Young Ketehum , s stook and gold_ specula
tions an the sole MUM Of his rum. It is said
by those who knew best that he had no ordi
nary vices; that in all his business relations,
aside, of course, from those connected with
his speculations, he was scrupulously exact
and honorable.
I.leports of large operations at the house of
_ sports _ .
KOMI= ft CO. came of late tothe senior mem
ber of the nrm, and he spoke with, his sOll in
regard to them—saying that, of course, they
were untrue—and the son replied in various
ways, alluding to the heavy orders for stocks
frequently received by the firm., and saying
that the reports arose naturally enough from
those causes. .
Once or twice the father was positively as
sured that if the firm were not engaged in such
operations the son certainly was; and, on
speaking
inof these facts, they were denied by
Edwardhis usual frank and decided man
ner; so the question was apparently settled,
and no suspicion was entertained by the firm,
either of the abstraction of bonds, or of the
ruinous operations in which one of its mom
hers was engaged.
rHk PLIGHT
Edward lietehuin did not leave Exchange
Place and Wall skeet till after three o'clock
on Tuesday afternbon. His packages of money
which he carried apparently without concern,
he placed in a large travelling bag which he
bought at the corn
l of Wall street and Broad
way. The package numbered ten or twelve.
Scime of them were Ihree or four inches in
height ; and one containing- only 000 bills was
more than an inch hi thickness.
The coolness he manifested in the store was
remarkable. He saidto Mr. Cattnach, who re
marked that he had, a large amount in the
packages that were catelessb - laid on the desk,
that they were of swan bill
B &
ut afterwards, wlula Mr. Cattnach called
attention to the paoka*s marked *lO,OOO each,
and to the Wu note package, he said, "Never
mind how much money there is—never mind."
When paying for the bug, of which the price
was sixteen dollars, he took from one of the
bags two ten-dollar bills and asking Mr. Catt
limit for a pencil, he barefully noted the
amount on the wrapper oT - the - package.
This was done with the imperturbable every
day business air of the mail of business, and is
not the least singular of the incidents which
marked the last hours of iltr. Ketchum's stay
in this city.
The amount of money he took away is posi
tively stated at $7O 000. He drew a check in the
name of the firm the afternoon of the day of
his eight for *200,000; but *0.50,100 of the sum lid
is known to have paid out before his depar
ture.
The direction taken by Mr. Ketchum in his
flight is not publiclyknown, but It is suspected
he went to Boston, whither detectives have
gone.
Istr. Moride, Ketchum now receives the SM.
pathy of all. Many persons have called on him
to-day to offer such words of kindness as they
could utter, and such aid as they might have
in their power.
The Express contains the following ;
MR. MORRIS KETCHUM'S STATRMNT.
Mr, Ketchum is a short, stout man, with sil
very hair, a quick, keen eye, thin lip 9. He said
that he had no desire at present to Make any
formal public statement, although he might
conclude to do so. Said he : "My son Edward
has committed a great crime. I3c has taken
from me between two and three millions
in securities—the assets of the house—be
sides,. I fear . , doing other wrongs Of great
magnitude in connection with the gold
checks. The house cannot go on, of course,
I stopped

tiall Yid gthf - exactly where we stand; but I
don't see how we can go on. Our remittances
this morning were very heavy; and were all
deposited to the credit of our customers. I
have no idea where my son has gone. What
could have tempted him to do this thing I. can-
not say. Ile had everything which could make
his life pleasant, and his position here was po
euniarly such as must have satisfied him. He
was at my house on Sunday night,.sinee when
I have not seen him."
Mr. Graham ; who tranSiteted hugness 'for
Edward KetchuM, says :
"I was Mr. Ketchum's broker, He was a
very heavy operator; some time ago he made
a great deal of money but lately he lost.
When I was home I frequently checked by my
advice his operations, and quite likely he'd I
been here; I being older, would have cau
tioned him about getting in so deep. The
cheek-book was kept here, but it was en
tirely in his charge. We had nothing to
do with it. Having perfect confidence in
him, we did riot scrutinize the cheeks
as closely as we should. We took it for
granted that be was all right, and so were his
checks. We always took the number of the
check, the signature, Szc,, so that in ease of
wrong they could be traced, but we never
looked carefully at the signatures, supposing,
of course, that they were correct. The checks
were used to carry old. The banks prefer
that it shouldn't be known how much they
lose, and other - parties are interested in keep
ing the matter quiet. I have been compelled
to ;den payment. I was out of town when this
occurred ; my partner telegraphed for me to
come down ut once. I did so suspended,
made an assignment to David Groenbeck.

what is the amount of his forgery."

fifty cents on the dollar of his liabilities. We

collaterals, and it is rumored that a firm in the
stock and gold business have Ailed. This
however, requires confirmation.
Gold is rather stronger, and there is a little
speculative movement, but the demand for
customs is large, and prices tend upwards.
Gold checks of Ketchum & Co. have been
sold, but with no appreciable effect on the
minket.
The Post states that the losses of Ketchum &
Son, by the abstraction of bonds and other se
curities, are $2,500,000. The name of the firm

AREPORTED 708G1113. AB.I.IIIE3TICD
Peter It. Mumford, who was reported to have
failed on Monday, was arrested to-day, charged
with having defrauded Greenleaf, Morris, &
Co., by means of a worthless check, of 08, 000 ,
on the Mechanics , Bank, given in payment on
Saturday for 8x29 , 000 in gold on a presentation
cheek. It Was found that there were no funds
in the bank to cash the check. He was com
mitted to the Tombs, in default of $30,000 bail,
to await an examination tomorrow.
Later information states that there is no

In the history of war, what is called Sher
man's March will be placed alongside of the
greatest efforts of Alexanderand Napoleon. In
some respects; it wait a far higher achievement
than was accomplished by either. Alexander's
progress thfough Asia and Napoleon's grand
feat of crossing the Alps were not more nota
ble than Sherman's taking an army from the
extremity of Georgia to Savannah and thence
to Raleigh, in North Carolina. It was deeira
ble t4at a fall and reliable account _Of this
should be placed before the public, This has
been done by Major George Ward Nichols, aid
de-camp to General Sherman, whose "Story
of the Great March," in one volume, 121noi
wit a route-map and twenty engravings, has
Justbeen published by Harper & Brothers.
The author, who accompanied Sherman from
Atlanta, kept a full and faithful diary from
which helms compiledhis book. He has divided
- it into the March to the Sea, the Campaign of
the Carolinas, and the Surrender and the End.
In an Appendix some valuable documents are
given, including Sherman's own reports, as
well as his testimony before the Committee
on the Conduct of the War. This book is sin
gularly interesting. It is not spun out, and is
terse without being dry. Indeed, it is full of
animation and life,. One of the most Interest
ing chapters is that which, with clearness
and spirit, describes the pursuit of Johnston,
the conference between himand Sherman, and
the truce which followed. This "Story of the
Great March" is one of the few really. good
books upon the war. It is got up, too, with
great taste, and the engravlngS really do illus
trate the text. (Received from T. B. Lippincott

"The Secret Service, the Field, the Dungeon,
and the Escape," by Albert D. Richardson,
Tribune correspondent, is an octavo volume of
.512 pages, published at liartferd, Conn. It
would have been a better book, by far, if it
were less voluminous. The public are
not likely to feel interested in Mr. Richard
son's detailed account of his adventures as a
newspaper eOrreependent—much of which he
had previously related, after the manner of
his craft, in the journal which sent him to the
seat of war. In Hay, 1863, he was captured by
the rebels, near Vicksburg, in company with
some other reporters, and was successively
imprisoned in Vicksburg, the Libby Prison,
Castle Thunder, and Salisbury. With. four
Viers, he escaped from Salisbury in Decem
ber, 1864, and, after suffering terribly in his
flight through a hostile 'country and in mid
winter, succeeded in reaching Knoxville about
the middle of January. Strictly speaking,
the only part of this narrative of positive
value is that which gives the author's
Personal experience of prison ill-treatment in
the South. He does not appear to have at all
exaggerated, and shows whatawful miscreants
the rebel authorities were. This narrative,
however, lacks the great Ghana of novelty,
Mr. J. Henry Browne, one of his fellow-prison
ers and companion in the escape, having fore-.
stalled Air. Richardson, by publishing his ac
count, which we lately noticed. We observe,
to condemn, the uniformly hostile man
ner in which Mr. Richardson speaks of
Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of War. Mose
than once, he charges him with "atro
cious inhumanity" for refusing to exchange
thousands of rebels for an equal number of
Hnion prisoners, "on the ground that we
could not afford to give the enemy robust,
vigorous men for invalids and skeletons."
These imputations, which are not founded on
fact, are discreditable to the author, and must
be harmless to Mr. Stanton. (Received from
Tones Brothers & Co.)
" Gonsery of Montgomery! 1 Family His
tory," by the author of "Philip Thaxter," is
published by Kr. Carleton, New York. It is an
American novel, in two volumes, very power
ful in' some parts, and may be praised as a ca•
pital ghost story, which has a sustained inte
rest. The whole account of rural life in Near
England, befOre and long after the War of In
dependence, is very good. The book, in two
volumes, is too much spun out. The conclud
ing episode, of young Walter Gomersos adven
tures in-the - South, could have well been dis
pensed with, and, indeed, seems to have been
tacked on to the main story as an episode.
The writer of this family history has the abil
ity to produce a tale far better than this. (Re
ceived from Peterson & Brothers.)

gust, contains an article on Electraßallistic

rope. • There are several other afeeles of merit,
including Colonel X. Zeltner's most interest
ing " Personal Reminiscences of Kosciuszko. , /
A /10tiee from the publisher intimates that
though the war is over, the magazine will not
be discontinued. Those who, on sea and land,
have nobly sustained the sacred cause of Free
dom and the Union, °net to have such a me
dium as this periodical for giving their expe
riences to the world. Candor compels us to
say that if the United States Service Magazine is
to flourish, it must be more carefully edited
than at present. It has been our duty, very
often, to point out carelessness and defect of
language in various articles. In the numberbe
fore us we find an instance of this. In a story,
entitled "FoOd for Gunpowder," a personage
called Mrs, Swinger is thus described: "She
was not a cruel woman, nor a passionate
woman, nor a heartless woman, nor a san
guinary woman. She was not even a disloyal
woman. But she was a weak woman, and a
foolish woman, and an inconsistent woman,
and an impulsive woman, and a peevish
woman." This, which may be intended for
something very Dickenish and graphic, is
simply affectation, besides being a specimen of
the waste of words by penny-a-liners. Here
the word "woman" is ten times repeated
when it is not ~enquired. Such "damnable
iteration" is miserable. Forty-seven words
are used, whore, with decided improvement
of the language, twenty-three_ would have
sufficed. We correct. it thus; "She was not
cruel, passionate,
heartless, nor sanguinary.
She was not even disloyal. But she was weak
and foolish,--inconsistent, impfilsiVe, and
neeyish. ,, Here more than half the verbiage
is cut off, and the language made reasonable.
The poetical pieces in this periodical are rarely
above mediocrity. Presetaggedwith rhymes is
not worth reading. Professor Coppee is an
iversity man, and cloulAy qualified, from
military training and experience, to conduct
such a periodical as this; but carelessness is a
fault which will ruin any publication. He
ought to supervise every sentence that he
publishes, so as to make it worthy of perusal.

"Detective Carlin and Dr. Townsend, one of

pool by way of Holyhead, arriving in Liver
pool on Saturday morning . They then learned
from the newspapers that the staimship Shan.
non, by which it was believed Wm man they
wanted had come as a passenger, bad arrived
at Southampton on Friday morning. Mr. Car

name, at the Queen's Hotel, which the thief
bad fixed as the place of rendezvous for him

went to another hotel, where he lodged under
AO assumed name.
"Townsend eatno to Liverpool on Saturday
night, by the half-past ten train. from London.
He went with his luggage to the Pelican Hotel,
Islingtflon-agS. The same night he called at
the Queen's to make inquiries for his friends.
Dir. Carlin was there on the lookout for him,
saw him when he called, and from a likeness
and descriptiOn he had, at once_ recognized
him as the man he was in search of. The de
teetive followed him to the Pelican, and per
mitted him to rest there all night. Mr. Carlin
obtained the assistance of Detective Inspec.o
tors Carlisle and Horn, and on Sunday morn
ing the three officers_ proceeded to the Pelican
for the mirpose apprehending Townsend.
" It, was necessary for the officers to go Cau
tiously to work, as it WWI known Townsend
was a determined young man, and carried
about with him a six-barreled revolver. • The
officers waited hi the coffee room until he
came down from his bedroom. This he did,
little suspecting who were waiting for hint,
for as soon as he made his appearance he was .
pounced upon by the detectives. Just as they
got hold of him he was seen to place his hand
in his pocket he was Snetireci, and on being
searched it, was found that he had in•his pos
session a revolver and a bag containing $42,000.
On his luggage being searched a revolver and
$56,000 I:llolV'were found, besides several arti
cles of jewelry which he had purchased with
the stolen money. The total amount recover

filtered his appearance considerably by shav

The Frigate Congress.
FERTICULARB OF HER Eircousartri, RAISING-HBH
I=3
[From the Norfolk Post, Monday.)
Yesterday, about half past eleven A. M., our
harbor was the scene of lively commotion. A
fleet of tugs might be- seen mingled together,
surrounding en object in the water Whieb, at
first appearance, presented a number of steam
pumps supported on platforms, trying to
pump the river dry. Upon near approach and
fairer view of the object the upper timbers
and. frame of a vessel hove in view apparently
cut in two abaft the mainmast, with the fore
foot just out of the water, and the Ameri
can flag waving proudly ,from the out-water
of the once noble old frifgate Congress.
Upon boarding the wreck her appearance
struck us very much with the condi
tion of poor old Pillicody : "All covered with
sea weed and barnaclea" Her stern and af
teepart is blown oil about fifteen feet abaft the
Mainmast, and she is burned down within
about two feet of the futtock timbers in the
frame of the berth deck. Her hold, as it looks,
is an indiscriminate mass of blue mud and oys
ters, the bivalves being of the largest size.
Several of her maindeck guns are visible, with
a number of round shot; and, upon close ob
servation, a large lot of kentlidge, and tanks,
anchors, and otherfaraphernaria. From the
bulkhead aft both a des forward are thrinMed
with old canvas and secured by plank to keep
the water out. On a platform upon the after
-part of the wreck were two steam pumps in
operation, throwing streams of water about
the size of a man's body. In consequence of
the dry dock at the navy yard not being ready
the wreck was laid ashore on Ferry Point
Flats, in fifteen feet of water,. the wreak
drawing nineteen feet, four feet being in the
mud, where she will remain until Tuesday,
when she will be taken tothe yard and docked.
Last November, D. A. Underdown Ss Co. (the
other members of the firm being John Brown
and 0. E. Maltvy) took the contract to raise
the Congress. Shortly flfter taking the con
tract, they commenced making preliminary
examinations, preparatory to. commencing
work, but were called oil' in the meantime by
the Government to raise the ram Albemarle,
sunk by Lieutenant Cushman, at Plymouth,
which they successfully accomplished, deliver
ing the ram at the navy yard. In June they
commenced again on the C;ongress, and, Wall
the aid of- their divers and submarine armor,-
bulkbeaded the Congress and made all ready
to start ' the pumps on her. By an acci
dent to the Jean -Sands' pump, the vessel,
upon being raised, settled back to her old
bed. The interval was occupied in "making
assuranee doubly sure." So, on Saturday,
.the contractors started to -work with five
powerful pumps, determined- to be prepared
against every contingency of, a failure, and
feeling confident of their success. At about
seven o'clock P. M. the tug Jean Sands, with
two pumps on board • tug Louis, with one
pump on hoard• a naVVar-perre.p.-.3.-tlie -n-reCK,
with Om 'tag uhowan as tender, commenced
work, The pump n the Louts; after working
abouthaif an hour, gave out. Nothing daunted - ,
and such contingencies being provid.ed against
by the foresight and experience of the inde
fatigable contractors, work was kept up by the
other four pumps until half-past three o'clock
on Sunday morning, when the wreck floated
off, and was straightened up the channel
to Norfolk. The four pumps were kept up
to their full capacity in order to keep the
wreck clear, and had the slightest accident oc
curred while crossing the deep water towards
Sewen's Point the wreck would have gone
down. Everything worked to a charm. At
seven o'clock A. M. on Sunday the wreck was
Met oft SewelPs Point by the tugs Stephen
Decatur, Francis King, United States tug,
Poppy, Chesapeake, and Erie, which hitched
on and lent a hand . to bring the old Congress
in. Coming up the channel the fleet was
joined by several steamers of the Quartermas
ter's Department, with a number of specta
tors on board, who made the welkin ring with
their enthusiustie shouts of joy and welcome.
From Town Point tO tie Flats, where the Con
gress was laid on shore, the rivet was one
scene of commotion, and the wharves were
lined with spectators.
The Congress was a forty-four-gun frigate,
and had been connected with many and
well
known associations of our Navy. On the 10th
of March, 1861, about IA. M., she blew up oil
Newport News Point, having been set on fire
by her oflicers and crew, as they th abandoned
her. It is well known that after e Merrimac
ran into and demolished the Cumberland, her
purpose was to do the same for the Con g ress,
but she slipped her cables, and squared away
with all available sail for Old Point, but hav
ing her decks raked fore and aft by the fire of
the Merrimac, and being several times hulled
by shot and shell from the rebel fleet, no re
source was left but to beach her. The Merri,
mac was a terrible adversary, and wooden
walls stood no possible chance of resistance
against her formidable battery and steel-clad
prow.. The excuse given by General Wool for
not opening the gums of the fort upon her was
that he was fearful it would draw her fire upon
the fort, thereby endangering the lives of the
°Ricers , wives who were there during that
eventful combat.
A. Card from Cozens.
To the Editor of the _Press:
Sin in
, your paper of the 10th inst. tin
article beaded The Doulikday Court-Mar.
tial also, a wiamunication, which you ere
dit as from a member of the above court,head
ed " The Cost of Military Justice," taken
from the New York Tribune M the previous
day. To this article Ido not ask, at this time,
to make allusion, other ; than that the charac
ter of the witnesses heard in my behalf bear
an enviable comparison With any of the
cers constituting this court.
To your article my remarks are solely di
rected, and only to that part of it referring to
the cause of `my trial and my present condi
tion;
You state, first, that "The cause of.the trial
was that a large number of tents made by my
firm were sent back by General Grant from the
army, as worthless, or nearly so." any of
my tents were sent back by this gallant Gene
ral, or his orders, lam not aware of it. This is
the first I have heard of it; no such evidence
was brought forward on my trial, and no such
cause has ever been assigned to me for it, nor
have I ever heard such a cause assigned.
You then state " Thai Mr: Cozens is a. rich
man, and had the advantage not only of an
elaborate trial, but of extended newspaper
sympathy."
I was arrested September 15th,1804, taken to
Washington, imprisoned in the Old* Capitol
Prison for eleven (11) days, then released on
bail. From that day to this I have been pre
vented from transfietingaity business ; indeed,
my business was entirely broken up, and my
means withheld hy . the Government pending
the result of this trial.
I had the disadvantage of being tried by the
Doubleday Court-martial, and lead truly a
"very elaborate" but a very unfair trial. One
of my counsel (Mr. F. Carroll Brewster) threat
cued, on several occaaiow, to withdraw from
my case on account of the unfair procecdin,gs
of the court ; and the other, (Mr. Daniel Dough
erty,) when under oath on the stand as a wit
ness in the case of Mr. Neal, declared and tes.
tided that he never again would try a ease
before a court so conducted.
I have taken no part, directly or indirectly,
in any of the articles you refer to ae appear
ing in the New York Tribune, and the 2 5 ablic
Ledger, ot . any of the newspapers of the clay,
referring to the Doubleday Court-martial or
to the lion. Secretary of War; but I fully be
lieve that, when the evidence in my case is
given to the
_press, I will not only have the
sympathy of the public press,but of the whole
America*, people. The whole eylliellee, arifa
ments,rulings, and objections, in my ease be
fore this court will appear in print at a suita
ble time.
The material used in the tents supplied by
my firm was the very best for the purpose that
could be 'obtained in the country, as was
proven on my trial, by men of the highest
character, from BOstoli, New York, and of this
The sizes of all the tents supplied by my
firm were in strict conformity with the direc
tions given by the Government officers sta
tioncd at this depot, which fact was clearly
proven on my trial.
You also state, "considering that live (5) of
the members have been wounded in the battles
against the rebel foe, and that Idr. Cozens is a
safe and prosperous man at &e.
I am not a prosperous man at home ;.I am an
unjustly used and a ruined man. At the same.
time, I do not want to take from any man or
men the respect and gratitude due true valor
and patriotism. I honor every man en aged
in sustaining this glorious Union; but I have
not remained idle at home, / Claim that I
have done my part, and that every and all en
gagements entered into by mernmyllrm, with
the Government, were fully ailtraquarely met.
Fully believing that it was not your inten
tion to injure me or my firm in any 'way, by
any inaccurate statement, and that ydu will
give the above an insertion in your valuable
paper, I retsain,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

,FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
There was little else discussed at the Stock
Board yesterday than the recent developments
of the New York frauds and forgeries. The'
markets were entirely unsettled, and if e.
financial revulsiOn does not follow in the wake
of the serious losses occasioned by the failure
of Ketcham `& CO: and Grahame Co., the busi
ness men of the country will have ample cause
for congratulation. Those well-known houses
had stood so high in the public estimation and
mercantile confidence that the community
can feel but little security In firms enjoying
less honorable distinction. Their standing
has hitherto been unimpeachable, and the stu-
Rondos, frauds by which they have been vic
timized necessarily create alarm and general
distrust in business circles. The money
market feels the offeet. Some are calling
ins in loans, others refuse to lend until it 15
more apparent to what this condition of
things will lead. There is a general suspicion
that the excitements of late months have pro
duced rottenness in other quarters, and that
we may now have a general clearing out. The
recent defalcations are only another proof of
the insanity that pervades a large portion of
the community in their haste to get rich. The
old way of our fathers is preferable to the
rash and speculative disposition that would
catch fortunes at a grasp. Steady, earnest ap
plication to business, strict discipline, un
deviating integrity and contentment, with
fair andhonest gains, can alone insure peace
of mind or secure wealth after it has been ob
tained.
The stock market was excited throughout
the day, and prices untended lower. Reading
opened at 49 1 A—a decline of oi as compared
with the closing sale of the day before. At
second board this decline, was partially re
covered, and therb were free sales up to 79%,
the "shorts" being in the market and obliged
to cover. Pennsylvania Railroad declined X,
selling at 57. Camden and Amboy was the
only railroad stock that sold at higher figures,
and this advanced X, with sales at 125. Cata-
WISSa preferred was drooping at 2W—a decline
of 1. Government loans were generally lower.,
The new 5-20 s declined to 101 X ; the 1040 s sold
at. WM, and the 7-30 s at 99. There was nothing
said in State loani. City 6s were dull, and de
clined with sales of the new at 90X. The
oil stocks continue very dull, and in bank and
Passenger railroad, and coal stocks there was
little done. The general market closed fever
ish and unsettled.

The receipts of oil et Pittsburg since the
opening of navigation, a period of four mouths, •
as appears from different records, has been
310,03 barrels. To this should be added, pro;
bably, not less than twenty-five thousand
barre]s i of which, no account was kept. The
total receipts this season hare been con
siderably in excess of any corresponding
period; although some part of it has been
marked for • dulness. The Pittsburg C 0.711-
werciai . says dealers are looking for activity
for the remainder of the season.
A recant revenue deeielo4 Obliges Govern
ment employees to pay an income tax on the
extra allowances they have received. This
rule is correct, and applies with equal force to
those instances where corporations and indi
vidual employers have during the war made
grants to their clerks in consideration of the
enhanced expense of living consequent upon
the rise in tile value - of gold. Such additional
payments being made for services rendered, are
a part of the recipient's salary, and should be
so returned by every honest man.
By the acts of July 17 and 27, 1861, the Secre
tary or the TreaslAPy was authorized to pay
any State the expenses properly incurred by
such State for enrolling, subsisting, clothing,
supplying, arming, equipping, paying, and
transporting its troops employed in suppress
ing the rebellion. A semi-official statement,
just issued, shows that inkier this act claims
have been filed by the several States, in the
office of the Third Auditor, as follows :

It is to be supposed that further claims will
yet, be presented, for the period from the date
of the accounts already presented to the Plod°
of the war; but It is probable that these ad
ditional claims will not materially swell the
above aggregate.

The New York Poet of last evening says :
.Wall street is apparently recovering in part
from the severe blow arising from the recent
defalcations and failures. No further canes of
suspension leave been renetted.
The return Of confidence appears to be large
ly founded on the belief that the amounts in
volved in the defalcations and frauds will
prove to be less than was estimated.
It is also known that the city banks are In a
strong position, and are well prepared to meet
any probable contingencies.
Gold is arm at 141%@141%.
Foreign Exchange is higher. For bankers'
sterling the rate is 109@10i, and for francs
5.20E0.16%.
The loan market is active, and a number of
loans have been called In, Good houses, how
ever, have no difficulty in obtaining all the
money they require on_. good securities at
seven per cent. Commercial paper passes at
7Q9.
The stock market is less feverish, and there
is, apparently, a disposition toyegard the Fe
deral stocke and other dividend-paying secu
rities as a safe purchase at current rates. Go
vernments are steady, and railroad shares are
slightly recovering from the loweet rates of
