JEFFERSON DAVIS AND WS AGENTS. Upon one subject there seems to be a sin gular approach to unanimity—that Writz, the inhuman keeper of the Andersonville prison, and the cruel Tennessee butcher, Crrarkre FpnousoN, deserve the severest punishment for their unparalleled crimes. . Even the New York News "whistles" FEnciusoN "down the winds," whilg put ting in the plea that Wirtz is about to be sacrificed to a cultivated thirst for. revenge. There seems to be no doubt that FER GUSON will halkg ; and if the half is true that is admitted against Wins, he will enjoy the same felicity. The article from the London Timm, elsewhere copied, being the views of the new American cor respondent of that paper, treats of JEFFmt soli DAVIS in connection with the awful offence for which Wirtz is soon to be ad judged, in a strain of uncommon fairness, As between Wrnz and FERGUSON, we take the latter for the lesser demon. Not to eon .sider that FERGUSON killed his victims by .single spies, and generally in an instant, we dare not forget that Wins had reduced his cruelty to a science—that his study was to prolong the lives of his hundreds of vie thus not by kind offices, but to see how much of his hellish fiendishness they could , endure. The wish. of the angry 'buena to the betrayer of her mistress, Destlemona— " May his pernicious soul rot half an inch a Bay"—seemed to be the motto of Wruz whenever a Union soldier was brought prisoner into Andersonville. We have printed the proof of this man's bru tality, and we have seen Southern men hang their heads in shame when asked whether the stories of his ferocity could be true—in shame because they could not deny them and would not defend him. It will appear, we think, thatArmaisnra H. STE PHENS appealed IO JEFFERSON DAVIS to set the Andergonville prisoners free rather than keep them to see their comrades starving and dying before their eyes, and to feel that their doom, unless released, was equally _ „sure. The appeal was haughtily refused. And this brings us to the point. FnuousoN was as clearly JEFFERSON DAvrs' agent as Wirtz stands ready to show that he was. FERGUSON was one of the Tennessee assas sins selected to kill the friends of AIDREW JormsoN, and doubtless to reach JOHNSON,. the most conspicuous, and by DKVis the most hated Unionist in the State. He knew that his system was exactly typical of the Satanic animosity of Davis fof the defenders of the old flag in that State. And just as the mountaineers of East Ten - nessee were hunted and burnt out, and shot down, by order of DAVIS, just so was FER GUSON commissioned to enact his bloody brigandage: Wirtz is to be defended on the theory of having acted under orders. Whose orders ? By those of JEFFERSON DAVIS, of course. The same plea would be set up by WINDER, if he were now living to make it, and by DICK TUR NER, and by the strong-hearted NORTHROP, the rebel Commissary General. So that at last, even if the instruments escaped, the principal would be held. On this head, read the correspondent of the London Times. That writer is no less truthful when he shows that, in despite of all these evidences of rebel cruelty, "Me Northern people are impatient to be friends with the South." They do not hold - the people of the South responsible for these unspeakable atrocities, and they are eager to prove that their olden love is warmer than ever from the long separation produced by the war. But this feeling only intensifies the stern determination to punish the men who - first betrayed the Southern men into rebellion, and then inflicted these savage wrongs and cruelties upon their Union prisoners of war. AN IMPERATIVE DUTY. The Bulletin of last evening, speaking upon the subject of which we wrote yester day—the importance of selecting honest and capable candidates for the different executive. and representative positions to lie taloa at the coining eleetion—remarks: "If half the stories arc true which are cur rent in political circles concerning the last City Convention of the Union party, there is lamentable need of action on the part of the non-political elements of society to take the control of these alt.important matters out of the, hantis of the. professional politi cians who abuse them so shocking A few trouts activity during this wee - on the part of half a dozen reputable citizens of each precinct would accomplish this. Such men could readily arouse their neighbors to a sense of the necessity of attending to these preliminary movements, which control and area alliSubsequent action, and. they could thus secure, at thy: dolegate election next Tuesday, the return of competent delegates, who, in their turn, would. select candidates for whom no man would be ashamed to vote. The character of our city delegation at Harris burg, as a whole, has long been a subject of re proach and derision on the part of country members; while every . good citizen regrets shame the inellictency of many of the Men to whom, as members of Councils, the. vast interests of Philadelphia are confided. All these things are within our own control. Let us hope that the delegate elections next week will mark the commencement of an era of reform, and let every citizen resolve that he will hear the infinitesimal share of trouble requisite to seettre that result." Sound advice, and not to be disregarded unless the National Union party desires continual negligence and corruption in our public bodies, There is one way to reach and to eradicate the disease. Let the members of the several Union Leagues, and especially those of the chief institution itself, devote themselves to these primary eleetionp-, go as to secure unexceptionable nominations. They have had nearly four years valuable experience in the patriotic assistance they rendered the Go vernment hi its struggle with the rebel lion. This experience taught them to know the people, their wants, and their wishes ; it also gave them some knowledge of party organization. The war being at an end, the duties of the loyal citizens, and especially the duties of the members of the Union League; are not ended. Far from it Their responsibilities are greater than before. They must not confide the mighty tasks resulting from the close of hostilities to weak, selfish, or corrupt men. And if they employ the influences they wielded so effectually - against the rebellion, the primary elections will secure good candidates and great majorities to the National Union party. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. When English newspapers become angry, their rage is terrible. Their indignation has been roused by the refusal of the At lantic Telesraph Company to permit any reporter, except Dr. W. It RUSSELL, who -was to have acted as historiographer, to go in the Great Eastern on her cable-laying expedition. They accuse the company of a design to prevent the publication of any thing but their own particular report, which Isms to be followed by an extended Diary of the Expedition, for which Dr. Ituss.ELL was to receive 0,000, and which was to have been published, in an Mustn't. ted volume, jointly by the Atlantic rreiQ graph Company and Mes Sm. DAY & lithographic publishers to the Queen. The magnificent volume, also written by Dr. RussELL, and most superbly illustrated, describing the marriage of the Frince or Wales, was published by Messrs. DAY, and made a large profit to them. The Morning Star, a London daily paper in the interest of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, in forms its readers that three reporters from leading American journals "arrived in London about the time when it was inti mated the first start with the cable would probably he made. After staying five weeks at Morley's Hotel, these gentlemen were informed, without the slightest apolo gy, that they would not be permitted to be an board the Great lE-astern, and they had to return to America, their mission un fulfilled." The same PaPOr gives wa to ad ditional particulars of the manner in which (as we formcrly mentioned,) . a gentleman actually employed on ,the electrical staff wag "bundled out" of the Great Eastern minus his tigiggpgp, when it was discovered that he wrote 'for the press. His name HARRISON,IB and he is not a lite rary but a scientific man. He was attached to the staff of the chief electrical engineer on board the Great Buten!, and had occasionally contributed to the columns• of the Engineer, a first-class organ of high position and repute. He had no engage ment to write for any other journal. The moment it was known that he could and might write, he is said to have been -lite rally snatched up, on deck, without a mo ment's warning, and thrown down into the _last boat • that - was leaving the Great Eastern outside of Valentia Island, his trunks and Carpet -bag being taken on ' from want of time to get them out of his state-mom. In short, the London news papers have scarcely a fa'vorable word for the Atlantic Telegraph Company, of whose, exclusiveness they bitterly complain. THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU. The only clear and comprehensive ac count of the policy and proceedings of the Freedmen's Bureau which has yet been published, is furnished by the speech of General HoivanD, delivered at a recent meeting of the Maine Freedmen's Relief So ciety, at Kennebec, Maine. The act of Congress organizing the Bureau was neces sarily vague and general in its provisions. Mr. LINCOLN, keenly alive to the import ance of the subject, and feeling that the fate of the whole emancipation movement might greatly depend upon the character of the Commissioner selected to guard the in terests of the freedmen, after much anxious thought and inquiry, decided to confer that appointment upon General HOWARD, who was then in active service in the field, and unconscious of the inten tions of the President He was chosen solely on account of his peculiar fitness for the position; and subsequent events have fully demonstrated that he is "the right man in the right place." He brought to his arduous task a benevolent and philanthropic spirit, happily united with much practical knowledge, sound common sense, enlarged views, unflagging zeal, and incorruptible integrity. He has sought information from every quarter, and listened patiently , alike to the appeals of Northern enthusiasts and of the own ers of Southern plantation& He has called to his aid, as assistant commissioners, the army officers he thought best adapted to his peculiar work, who are in turn as sisted by numerous sub-agents and medical officers. After successfully overcoming many minor difficulties, the influence and power of the Bureau have been extended over all the .rebellious States, and it exer cises a direct supervision over the whole body of freedmen. Its head is the protector and guardian of the emancipated bondsmen in a much better defined and more closely connected way than the President is the "Great Father" of the Indians of our country. The all-important question of labor he has endeavored, as far as possi ble, to settle by the ratification of con tracts between the landowners and work men of the South. The contracts must be fairly made and faithfully kept, both par ties being protected, and both parties having convenient opportunities of appeal ing to Assistant Commissioners and their agents for such intervention as may, be ne cessary to ensure. the industry of the em ployed, or just and humane treatment from employers. The system has thus far worked well. Systematic provision has also been made for the negroes, who, aban doning their old plantations, and following one armies, have collected in cities and towns, or formed independent negro settle ments. Some have been distributed upon lands abandoned by their former owners during the rebellion, and farms of about forty acres are allotted to each, or they have been forwarded to localities where a remunerative demand for their labor was known to exist. There are also a few Government farms furnishing em ployment to the negroes, in consequence of the uncertainty of titles to abandoned lands at this period, and the consequent risk of either selling or leasing them to new occupants_ The best proof of the adyan tageous results of this policy is furnished by General HOwARD'S positive statement that "the National Government is now obliged to keep and take care of fewer ne roesthan white people." A volume is em braced in this single sentence. It settles the long vexed question, "what will be come of the negroes if they are set free 1" conclusively. They live been reared to toil, are not ashamed'of it, and need only protection from injustice and familiarity with the simple business transaction in volved in securing a purchaser for their la bor and collecting their wages, to become not only a self-sustaining, but a useful and highly productiaT race. Beyond the adjustment of the great labor question upon which all else chiefly hinges, the Bureau co-operates as far as possible with the charitable associations of the North in facilitating the education of the negroes. Teachers are allowed to purchase the Go vernment ration at its cost price. It has been discovered that in most instances the negroes prefer to sustain their instructors with their own labor. In the expressive language of General HOWARD, " they don't like to be pauperized, or regarded as pau pers, and if they can do something to aid in teaching themselves, they are glad to do it." They need aid in organizing schools, and need teachers, but manifest a disposition to render their schools selPsustaining after they are once firmly established. The Bu reau also issues rations to Voluntary assoeiag lions which conduct orphan asylums, and it sustainshomes and hospitals where the aged; infirm, decrepit, and maimed find refuge and support In all well-founded com plaints of cruelty and injustice, it promptly intervenes on behalf of the freedmen ; and although it cannot, of ,course r prevent out rages, it has effectually demonstrated that negroes have " rights " ,as well as white men in the South; and that the proudest and haughtiest of their old taskmasters can not harm a freedman with impunity. The Assistant commissioners are authorized to adjust difficulties between white and colored men, after a full hearing of negro testi mony, Crimes can no longer be com mitted with impunity on plantations. The following extract illustrates the _ practical workings of this reform "In Mississippi a man murdered his former slave. Ite was taken up for the crime, but the judge iscued a - writ of hut, eus coitus, and he was set at liberty., TO save rearrest he could go to a county where there was no fudge, and he would thus be safe. The assistant commis sioner telegraphed me the facts, and that he was threatened with arrest for false imprison ment. At my request the Secretary of War directed the department commander to arrest the person for the murder and try him by Military court, and it the fudge again attempt ed to issue a writ of habeas corpus, to arrest him also. I have not heard the result of the edse, but have no doubt the man was tried. "In Alexandria, ajudge declined to receive the testimony of a colored man. Ills horse had been taken away from him. The agent of the Bureau interfered. and wrote the facts to inc. I wrote, a letter to the Mifyor of the city, re (=Sling that all such cacts should l e turned over to the provost courts. Ile not only re fused to do so, but also to answer my letter 7" wrote to the department Commander on the subjeci, detailing the facts, and he according ly drew up an order, which he never had occa sion to use, for the authorities there found out that we wore in earnest, and all Stich eases are, now transferred to provost courts." Thus it will be seen that emancipation is practically enforced everywhere.' The com mands stationed at numerous convenient points in the rebellious Fstates cari always be readily appealed to ; and there are special officers connected with the army who are charged with the duty of ascer taining when such appeals are necessary. The people of the North are thoroughly deteintined to make freedom national, and the people of the South are rapidly learn ing this fact; and, to do them justice, sub mitting to it with a good grace in many instances. There are prejudices to combat as well among some of the officers and men in the Union army as among communities taught to regard slavery as a sacred insti 'Luton, but there is a vigilant organization, well backed and supported, always ready to check and punish acts of violence or op pression. Judging from the whole tendency of the modern legislation of Congress, the watchfulness Of our Government, and the activity, scope, and efficiency of the Freed men's Bureau, we think there is little danger that slavery can ever be revived in any shape. Most of the negroes will earn their living as hired men.—butas freemen, and with their freedom effectually *Wed. A QUARREL ENDED. In the fall °fan the 1310VerriMellta Of England and Brazil hyl.a serious quarrel, chiefly arising'out of' fife haughty bearing and unjustifiable conduct of Mr. CHRISTIE, the British Minister at Rio Janeiro, The result was a total cessation of diplomatic relations between the two empires, and - the recall of their respective representatives from Rio and London. When the particu lars were known in England, the liberal press generally and strongly censured the course pursued, or sanctioned, by the British government. Earl Russxm,, how ever, having a penchant for tyranniz ing over weak, parties, sustained Mr. CHRISTIE. The matters in dispute were referred to the King of the Belgians, who, though uncle to Queen Victoria, re ported strongly against the action of Eng land. . This decision was pooh-poohed by Lord RUSSELL, who finally consented to refer the case to the King of Portugal, who has amicably adjusted the difficulty—though Brazil does not receive all the satisfaction she was entitled to. However, the quarrel is ended, and Mr. EDWARD THORNTON, C. 8., the British Minister to the Argen tine Republic, has been appointed to pro eeed, on a special mission of conciliation, to the Emperor of Brazil. . IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to read the story of the failure of the late attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable, as briefly and graphically told in the diary of Grnos W. FIELD, without ad miring the skill and perseverance displayed on board the cfreat Eastern, and regretting that the guerdon of success so faithfully earned was not achieved. Enough was done in repairing the faults discovered during the voyage, to justi - 4 , the faith many of the stockholders felt in the enterprise. But so many gigantic difficulties obstruct its completion, that, much as we would ap plaud men who would overcome them, we should not be astonished if the company Was compelled to abandon the task as hope less. Such does not, however, appear to be their present intention. Bor. Brownlow and John Bell. Governornrownlow thus writes to his paper, tbe linoaville Whip, from Nashville, Augusts: I have bad a long interview with John BOIL He isten:years older, in appearance, than when the war began. His teeth are out, and that affects his speech. His hair and whiskers are very gray, and be is very much stooped, and leans upon his staft' like an old man is expected to do. .1 treated him very . kindly. He talks very freely about the rebellion, .and in opposi tion to it. He says the secessionists in the South areal' lunatics without any lucid intervals --that is to say they are crazy all the time. I believe it is a principle in law, that if a lunatic has lucid intervals at times, he is responsible for acts perpetrated in those intervals. And medical writers say that lunatics without lucid intervals are Incurable. - • • - I accompanied the old gentleman to the headquarters of General Thomas, and after a short but agreeable interview with the Gene ral, we went to the office of the Provost Mar shal General, where the old gentleman took the amnesty oath, and placed himself right on the record. NEW PERMEATIONS. Professor John W. Draper, of New York, has completed a new and most important work, entitled "Thoughts on the Future Civil Policy of America," which will be published in one volume crown Bvol by Harper & Brothers, in a few days. In " The Intellectual Development of Europe," which has gone through four editions in this country, and has been repeatedly reprinted and translated abroad, he showed that the historical pro gress of the nations of Europe illustrates the fact that social advancentent is as completely under the control of natural law as is the bodily growth of an individual, and in his forthcoming volume he applies that principle to the case of America. At a crisis when our Republic is un dergoing a great change, such a work, direct ing attention to the effects of physical agents and laws on the advancement of nations, is well timed. Prom the past we may look into the future—with almost the certainty of sci ence. Another well known book, written by Professor Draper, who occupies the chair of Chemistry and Physiology in the University of New York, is " Human Physiology, Statical and Dynamical; or, the Conditions and Course of the Life of Man." This, also, is well known and highly valued In foreign countries as well as in this. Harper & Brothers announce, in two vo lumes, crown Svo, a "Narrative of a Year's Journey Through Central and Eastern Ara bia," by William George Falgreve. The journey - was made in 1862-63. Their new edi tion (the fourth) of Harper's Hand-Book for Travellers in Europe and the East, is now ready. It has been written, by Mr. Fetridge, from personal observation and knowledge, and enables the traveller to dispense with Murray's Hand,Books, which are costly, and sometimes, to say the truth, a little anti- American. A short time ago we noticed three important publications of Charles Scribner & Co.: Lord Derby's translation of Horriees Iliad, Froude's :History of England, and Forsyth's Life ,of Cicero. In a few days a third edition of Homer and Cicero will be issued, and the second edi tion of Fronde is in the press. Mr. Scribner has corrected the Homer by the revised text of the fifth English edition, it is probable that there may be a blue and' gold edition also. To suit the fancy of book collectors, lee large paper copies of each of the three works will be printed. Their subjects well adapt them for illustration. D. Appleton & Co. have supplemented their "New American Cyclopwdia,n by the publiea tion of a yearly volume. This is entitled "The American Annual Cyclopaldia, ,, and the volume for 11361 has just appeared, and may be obtained from Mr. J. N. Simon, .33 South Sixth street. It is a full and faithful record of the events of last year—one of the most trapor tent in the history Of civilization—and in cludes all events Of importance, in the. Old World as well as din the New; political, mili tary, naval, scientific, mechanical, geographi cal, mercantile, religious, and literary. The arrangement is alphabetical, of course. Por traits or Generale Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and G. H. Thomas, with numerous maps and wood engravings, illustrate the volume. We notice the appearance of a new edition of a very interesting book, " The President's Words," published by Walker, Fuller, .t Co., Boston, and on sale here by Mr. James S. Clam , to.. It is a. pocket volume, Containing. Mr. Lincoln's more memorable sayinteg, as well as many political aphorisms from his speeches,ad dresses, and letters. It has the advantage, too, of being well indexed. At what is called the "Commencement" (though it really is the conclusion of the year's studies) at Harvard Uniyersity, the Phi Beta Kappa Society invited Mr. George H. Bolter to deliver the Poem, which be did on July 20th. The invitation may be considered particularly complimentary, inasmuch as Mr. Boker's own alma Hater is Princeton, where he graduated. The subject of his poem was " Our Heroic Themes," and he rendered ample justice to it. Ticknor Bc, Fields having published it, we take leave to extract a beautiful tribute to the martyred President Nor in your prayers forget the int.rtyredllbief, Fallen for the gospel of your own belief, Who ) ere lie mounted to the people's throne, Abheil for your prayers, andjoined in them his own. I knew the man. I see him, as he stands With gifts of mercy in his outstretched hands; A kindly light within his gentle eyes, Sad as the toil in which his heart grew wise; Ms lips half parted with the constant smile That kindled truth, but foiled the deepest guile L . IliS head bent forward, and his willing ear Divinely patient right and wrong to hear: Great in his goodness, humble in his state, Firm in his purpose, yet not passionate, He led his people with a tender hand, And-won by love a sway beyond command. Summoned by lot to Mitigate a time Frenzied with rage, unscrupulous with crime, He bore his mission with so meek a heart That Heaven itself took up his people's part ; And when be faltered, helped him ere he fell, Eking his efforts out by miracle. No king this man, by grace of God's intent; No, something better, freemen—President! A nature moOelled on a higher plan, Lord of himself, an inborn gentleman ! Pass by his fate. Forget tile closing strife lu the vast memories of his noble life. Forget the scene, the bravo Stealing nigh, The pistol shot, the new-made widow's cry, The palsied people, and the tears that ran O'eribalf a world to mourn a single man. But oh ! remember, while the mifld Car. hold One record sacred to the days of old ; The gentle heart that beat its life away Just as young morning donned his robe of • gray, Stole through the tears beneath his golden tread, And tottehedim vain the eyelids of the dead! Remember him, as One who died for right, With victory's trophies glittering in his sight His mission finished, and the settled end Assured and owned by stranger, foe, and friend. Nothing n - as left him but to taste the sweet Of triumph sitting in the nation's seat; And for that triumph Heaven. prepared Its courts And cleared ; Its campaigns for unwonted sport I Summoned the spirits of the noble dead who fell in battle for the cause he led : Soldiers and chiefs awakened from the clay, And ranged their legions in the old array. From Mr. ./1. Winch we have received the August number of the Federal American Monthly, published in New York. It is a peri odical of no great merit—a fourth-rate maga zine, in fact. What puzzles us, who fancied that we knew all the magti f zines in this coun try, is that this appears to be No. if of -v o l, LXVI. That the Federal American should have appeared month after month during thirty eight years, and no one have a knowledge of the fact (for the pensive public share our ig notAnce,) is, indeed, a "mysterious mystery." ANOTHER SOLDIERS' DIONIIIIENT.—A laudable movement is now on foot at Fortress Monroe, Va. t baving for its object the erection of an en during and honorable monument to the many thousand soldiers who are buried in and about old Camp Hamilton_ It is proposed by the Board appointed for that purpose to colleet the remains together into Hampton Cemetery, where some two thousand soldier dead already lie hurled, and after, this labor of love is com pleted, to erect a suitable memorial, in granite, to the martyrs there sleeping their last sleep. The cost of the monument will . not exceed 00 • THE PRESS.--PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1866; _I,GRIND INVITATION HOP CITY BY/ THE SEA. PATRIOTIC DECORATIONS AND SPLENDID ILLIDNINATION.

The fol lowing is a copy of the invitation issued by them: UNITED STATES HOTEL, ATLANTIC CITY, August 15th, 186 a. scs: You are respectfully incited to attend (with your ladies) the Grand Invitation Hop, to be given by the guests at the United States Hotel, onWednesday evening, August 15th, 155.5.

To meet the ernergeney likely tn arise, in the increase of the number of visitors, the Camden and - Atlantic Railroad Company made every arrangement, and the result was that the large numbers of ladies and gentlemen who took passage in several trains on Wednesday after noon, to attend the "Carnival,” were agreeably accommodated. At eight o'clock in the eve : . ning an efficient braes and string band, sta tioned in the beautiful and level lawn, flanked by the immense wings of the hotel, discoursed most eloquent music, being a series of well se lected and most popular operatic pieces. The great blue dome above was brilliant with stars; the atmosphere was cool and delightful. The many boarders at the first-class houses were enrobing themselves for the great event of the evening, and by ten o'clock, when the ball room scene opened to the enraptured view of the gay and happy assembly, there were at least three thousand persons in attendance. A more brilliant galaxy of loveliness and beauty was never seen at any seaside resort. The United States Hotel is.the largest build ing on the island. It is almost in the form of the letter L, extending at right angles from the main or railroad thoroughfare. Within this hollow square, the open part of which is towards the ocean, is a splendid lawn, covered with the green velvet of nature. Holly and cedar trees are planted in rows, and from the boughs thereof were pending illuminated lanterns, of a variety of shapes, and all blazing with patriotic mottoes, many containing like nesses of Hens. Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman. By eight o'clock over one thousand ladies and gentlemen were present, and, as the musicians opened with the national airs, the pyrotechnic display commenced. Rockets, and Homan or Union candles,red white and blue fires, bengolo lights, blazing suns, bombs, the dance of the 'serpents, and the enchanted rings, appeared almost as in the order named. The scene was sublime., The effect of the parti-eolored fires, reflecting amid the foliage of the green cedars and the glistening holly, and against the sided of tie hotel, over and around which the stars and stripes unfurled their beauty on the de lightful sea-breeze, was' tine and fascinating. The visitors increased rapidly in number, and all were charmed thus far with the entertain ment prepared for them by the committee of arrangements. The spacious dining-hall was cleared as spee dily as possible after the evcning , meal, which was accomplished in a very short time, by the one hundred cleanly and neatly-dressed colored waiters. The decorations were taste ful anti patriotic. This part of the programme was delegated to Mr. John Haney, familiarly known as the "Major." On the front of the room was a large medallion likeness of Wash ington, with festoonings of the star-spangled banner, flanked right and left with the coat-of arras of Pennsylvania and the city of Phila. delphia. Along the cornice the red, - white, and blue were gracefully held up by national shields ; embellished with State flags and sig nals. At the other end of the saloon, the Union jacks of several very large sags were grouped together with an American eagle, beneath which bung a framed portrait of the lamented President Lincoln. The chandeliers were also festooned with patriotic emblems. Thus the ball-room was prepared. Other parts of the hotel were also decorated with flags and Row ers, and thu spacious front was gay in Chinese lantern robes, pending from the windows. Each gentleman, upon entering the room to enjoy a trip or two on the "light fantastic toe," was furnished with an enamelled card, containing the following in purple lettering Grand limitation Hop, at iiie United scares Hetet, Atlantic , City, N.

It may be truly asserted, that it is not often so many participants, called together, it may be said, promiscuously, know the figures so well. Many of them went through the quad rilles with grace, that entitles them to there spectful consideration and universal admira tion of all who admire the poetry of motion. Indeed, not a few were entitled to be consider ed as accomplished in the beautiful art of dancing. This was evident, even, on the pro menades, where grace gives ease to the power of locomotion. There was no simple alfeeta tion, such as is too often seen on occasions such as these, at popular summer resorts. The "walking lady," in theatrical entertain ments, is an institution that requires great care, and can only be acedlnplished by perse verance in the study of the art—for it is an art. But, upon this present occasion, there were many so naturally .racefifl and beautiful withal, as to excite the applause of profes sional critics, who assume to be cynosures in such beatitudes. Many of the gentlemen who delight to revel in the " mazy dame" werequiteaccomplished in the art, and therefore the scenes so elegant in motion and so full of ease, were the more delightful to the spectators : The recent " Eal masque" at Cape May will not bear coin. parison, and yet that entertainment was all the managers desired. It may be doubted whether there ever was a balt.roOM seen SO elegant in all its appointments as the one at the great United States Hotel on Wednesday evening. The gentlemen who inaugurated it were determined upon achieving something great—something that would do to talk about, even at the - fireside on long winter evenings— and it is generally conceded they fully accom plished the undertaking. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning when the closing scenes took place, and soon after this the pall of night fell where beta short time beforethere was so much beauty, loveliness, fashion, gayety, plea- sure, and`wealth, financial_ and intellectual. The participants had gone to the land 01 dreams. There was another Beene. In the ladies' ordinary, a splendid banquet was served up to the members of the press, upon which occasion the Iron. T. J. Coffey pre sided. As usual, upon such fastiv , e oe,toiens, speeches, song, Sentiment, and hilarity pre vailed, and there was a good time generally, that was kept np for several hours. The table was spread with the good things of this life, embellished in profusion with those articles of creature comforts that Messrs. Brown Sr, Woelp per know so well how to provide. They have achieved a success, as public purveyors, that must of necessity add to the attractions of the City by the Seal , as well as to their magnifi cent establigunent, We unexpectedly detected at the hotel one of the most expert detectives that ever per formed police work in Philadelphia. We mean Samuel Johnson, of old Southwark. After haying served nearly four years in the recent war, with credit, he has entered on his duties here as a detective. He has, of course, a number of "shadows' , to assist him inkis work, and if any thief eau "spot" theta, or any of them, they must get up very early in the morning. Talking about getting up early re. minds us of a GOAGEOUS SUNRISE SCENE, that ushered in the dawn of yesterday. Seated beneath the canopy of a bath-house, we watched the coming sunlight. There was no mist on the face of the deep, but there were heavy banks of clouds, and also 'fleecy vapors limiting lazily above.

THE DEP 11.RTUSE. Early breakfast was served to many of the guests of the United States, and at seven o'clock and eight minutes, the "iron horse" gave a snort, and six car-loads of passengers bade adieu to the far-famed city by the sea. The train arrived shortly after nine o'clock, and the passengers were ferried on a miserable boat across the Delaware. This ferry company is a distinct institution from the Camden and Atlantic Railroad _Company. One excellent boat belongs to it, and the sooner another of the same sort is obtained, the better will it please the travelling community. CAPE MAY. Arrival of Secretory Seward and Fatally.

Soldiers' and Sailors' Home. 2b the Editor of the Press • may I ask you to call the attention of your readers to the following communication, taken from the Backs County Intelligencerl And I hope every loyal and Unlon paper in the State will publish it, so that our citizens throughout the State may know where to send their con tributions in aid of the "Soldier's Home." And here let me say that the "Soldiers' Home, of Philadelphia," is not (as has been represent ed by some parties) a home for Philadelphia soldiers only, but is a State institution, and its doors have been open, and will continue to be open, to soldiers from any part of our State just as freely as to a Philadelphia soldier! Indeed, since its Organization it has received and provided for many soldiers from other States—from the East, and from the West—who had been maimed and crippled in the service of their country, and whom the managers could not turn from their doors, although they did not belong to Pennsylvania. I am surprised that the ladies and gentlemen who have been en gaged in this holy work of love and mercy, near two years, should now meet Avith ohs la• ties in the shape of a conflicting organization. And I feel assured it is only necessary for our citizens to know the facts to induce them to direct their contributions into the proper channel, I would also call the attention of your readers to the circular for the "Fair for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home," in your pa per to-day ; and they, will feel satisfied, from the names connected therewith, that this in stitution is worthy of their warmest support and confidence. A FRIEND OF THE SOLDIERS , AND SAILORS' HOME THE SOLDIERS' HOME PHILADELPHIA, July 15,1865. • MR. EDITORDEAR SIR: In this city tnere is a Home for discharged soldiers and sailors, known by the name of " The Soldiers' Home Of Philadelphia." It is located at the corner Of RaCe and Crown streets. This Rome is a corporate institution, having been chartered by the Legislature of the State of Pennsyl vania. The Home has been in active and effi cient operation for nearly two years,. during which period it has ministered extensively to the relief of the wants of a large number of maimed, diseased, and necessitous discharged soldiers and sailors of the Union army and navy. The organization of this Home is com plete. It has passed through the test of trial, and has been found to meet the expectations of its founders and to satisfy those who have contributed the means for its support. Its working machinery operates in the most suc cessful manner for those unfortunate patriots who are the recipients of its vast benefits. At this time it is full to its utmost capacity. The necessity for greater space, more extended ac commodations, more rooms, and all that con stitutes a Home en a large scale; are everyday becoming more apparent. More applicants t emte-rvesthannanhaaeinmmodated.. To turn them away is more than Painful The management Of the Home Is confided to a board of managers composed of gentlemen, and to an auxiliary board composed of ladies. The lady board of managers, for the purpose of obtaining funds with which to make the Home coextensive with the wants of the ne cessitous discharged soldiers and sailors, a few months ago inaugurated ft Movement for the holding of a fair at the Academy of Music, in Philadelphia, to commence about the close of October next. It is intended that this fair shall be gotten up in the most extensive man ner, and shall be second only to the Great Na tional Sanitary Fab: held in this city a year ago. The lair will have contributions from every hamlet, town, and city in the State, and every county of Pennsylvania will be repre sented by a table, managed and conducted by some of the citizens of those counties. Not only this, but there will be contributions from other States, and some of those States will be represented by tables, over which will preside some of the patriotic and benevolent citizens of those State& The expectation is that the fair will be one or extraordinary intel'e§t, and its pecuniary product will be a munificent SUM. _ . The ladies are active in the good work they are laboring with surpassing industry, and such is "their will and earnestness in the cause as to make success certain. The work is with them one entirelylOf benevolence, humanity, and patriotism. They freely give their time and services, without charge, pay, or price. These ladies are numbered among the most patriotic,benevol ent,enterprising, and wealthy of our city. Yet, strange.. as it may appear, these ladies are meeting with an obstacle in accomplishing the success of their laudable and humane work, and to overcome which is increasing their toil and anxiety. This obst acne is the encounter with paid male col lectors, who are abroad endeavoring to collect funds (and in some instances they unfortu nately have been successful) for a Soldiers' 'Home which does not exist, for width there has not been ottoinect or ever asked a charter, and which in all ?roman prcbabitity tvill end where it began. These paid collectors receive their compere. cation, or wages in other words In the form of a commission of ten per cent. on all amounts which they collect. Thus, a gentleman Whose benevolence would prompt him to give to one of those paid collectors $l,OOO for their pro mised home, would in reality give for this ob i cet but 000, and $lOO to the collectorfor asking for the donation. - The matter is vastly different with the Lady Board of Managers of "The Soldiers' Horne of Philadelphia." They solicit funds and other aid for a Home which is an institution or the State—a chartered, active, living institution, in full tide of operalion, whose wards are open to the impectlon of citizens six days of the week. Every dollar, nay . , every cent, which will be given to those ladies will reach the treasurer of the Home without one fraction, of a cent being deducted for collecting. To which will a generous, benevolent, and patriotic public contributel The answer is easy. This state ment, in our official capacity, we have deemed necessaryto make to disabuse the mind of the public of any erroneous impressions which may have been made by the paid collectors of a Soldiers' Home which has not any existenee, and which, as we have already stated, will, in all human probability, end where it began.

MA - Dz.—The wool trade in Ohio is still moving slowly. The past ten days have shown a slightly improved condition of the figures offered4and the average has now reach ed fully 65 cents, many lots selling at from 70 to 75 Cents, while yet the majority Of the pur chases have been at 60 cents find under. Ac t "' respondent writes us from Jefferson county "Wool dealers- are showing themselves a lit tlea very few good lots have been taken at 75 cents. Farmers arc careless at that price some are disposed to hold at SO cents. Woo. could have been bought easier in June than now." From lltuTiSoll 0011 MY We learn that during the ten days prior to the 2d, fully 100000 pounds of choieeWOol we re bought there at From 70 to 75 cents. After that date the sales fell off, but no disposition was evinced by growers to sell at a lower figure. In Licking the trade is still dull, and buyers are not yet opting over 60 cents. In Madison, the past week, The movement is reported as pretty brisk at 65 cents. The whole sales in the State, so far as our reports extend, indicate an im provement of fully 10 cents per pound during the past two weeks.—Ohio Farmer.

Slit ; The declination of the Hon. Alexander Henry, as a candidate for renOmintiction, has caused universal regret. His 'unswerlviPg in and courteous bearing, togethei.r with his tzprighilpiliblic life and private virtues , have endeared him to the whole Community: In retiring from'crake to private life he ear ries with him the love and esteem of the POO' ple, and the proud satisfaction that no act of his has ever stained his robe of 'Aloe. Who shall be his successor? It will be the duty of the Union City Convention to name him. In the selection of a proper candidate—with the right kind of a nominee—success will crown our labors. Let the Convention realize this fact, and be careful to give us a gentleman pos sessing the requisite qualifications to make an able and efficient officer. Whoever he maybe, it is all important that he be a gentleman, educated, intelligent, honest, possessing a sound Judgment and great discretion. In addition to the foregoing qualifications, he should have a thorough knowledge of the wants of a great metropolis like ours, and, at the mine time, be conversant with the varied duties of the once and municipal legislation. And this knowledge should, if possible, be de rived from actual experience in our munici pal legislature. It may be asked, Where is there such a man; Without desiring or in tending to say aught to disparage the claims of any gentleman named, we are free to say .. that the nearest approximation to these views may be found in the person of James Lynd, Esq., the able President of Select Council. Five years , experience as ,a member of Coun cils, (three of which he has been President of Select Council,) have enabled him to become au fait in everything pertaining to our great city. Besides this, he is dignified and courte ous in his demeanor, a scholar by education, a lawyer by profession, and upright and honor able in his character. In conclusion, we 09111- mend James Lynd as a worthy successor of Alexander Henry. MANY CITIZENS. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The stock market has quite recovered from the blow it received early in the week by the defalcations which so greatly excited the leer pantile community and involved it in the em barrassments it will labor under for many months yet. We have made particular inqui ry on the street to ascertain whether the stand ing of any of our Philadelphia merchants or brokers has been in any way jeopardized by the recent robberies and failures in New York city, and we are happy to state that so far from there being any cause for apprehension of any failures here, that scarcely 4ldo Liar IS owing to this city by the firms rendered bankrupt by the forgeries. The worst of the panic is over, and we are entering again upon the usual rou tine of daily business. There is no want of Confidence anywhere shown between the bro kers of thle. city, nor is there, among the busi ness men generally, a less disposition to ex tend the usual credits so necessary to mercan tile transactions. Where losselhave occurred they have invariably fallen upon the mere speculators and gamblers of the market; the houses that pursue a sound, substantial, and legitimate business who have failed to be. coaxed into the vortex of reckless stock job bing are to-day as sound as ever. The dealers in Government loans mid other substantial se curities are untouched. and must continue to be so under all contingencies and mishaps. it any one can weather successfully a fearful money crisis, such as was predicted a day or two ago was to he our present experience, it is the dealer in the loans of the Government, for their value is beyond the reach of ordinary accidents. The New York journals announce that since the steed has fled the stable, the landlord is getting manufactured mamiticent new bolts. We are assured 'by the Tribune there is a searching investigation now going on at each banking establishment into its management and accounts, permeating 'the minutest branches connected with the busi ness. . Bank directors hare awakened from their dream of security, and have at length commenced to look after the operations of those gentlemen who keep their accounts and manage their transactions. Many defalca tions of a minor character will, it , may be fairly presumed, be brought to light in New York, and bank officials now in good standing, and occupying respectable positions in life, will be seriously implicated. Government loans are generally steady in price, and the sales yesterday were moderate. The 1881 s sold at .106 j; the five-twenties at 1.03 2 /g registered ten-forties at 944, and the seven-thirties at 99. State and city loans are held less firmly, and a lot of war-loan sixes changed hands at a decline of 1; the fives brought 90%. New city sixes advanced 1 4., while the municipals sold at a decline of ?,4. The sales of'company bonds were very limit ed ; Lehigh sixes, 'B4, at 95; Camden and Am boy mortgage ALTOS, 7 89, at ON ; rennsylvauia Railroad first mortgage bonds at 105; Reading sixes, 2 96, at 110, and the mortgage sixes at Si. The railway share list was inactive, except Reading, which was largely selling at about the previous day's figures ; Norristown advanced ;4, and Catawissa common' rx,. In the oil stocks there was less said, but prices are steady. In canal stocks there is a fair amount doing. There were fur ther sales of Wyoming Valley at 52, and Schuyl kill Navigation preferred at 31. Bank and passenger railroad securities are very The following bids wore made for city passen ger railroad stocks; 40 for Tenth and.
