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.

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

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

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-

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.

The Sekeeessor of Major Henry.
2b the Editor of The Press:
. 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

4 would respectfully inform you
that we have at length completed our arrange
meats with Mons. J. X. Retrouvey, of Paris, for
the manufacture and We, throughout the
United States_ and CanadaS, of his celebrated
Turkish Bamdolenian Hair Tonic, Beautifier
and Restorer, the most exquisite and fragrant
beautifier and powerful restorer of the pre
sent century. The extract of manyilowers and
herbs
This preparation het been in use a number
of years amongst the Turkish belles, who have
been so justly celebrated for the beauty of
their hair; and it is now creating quite aferore
amongst the Ffench and English belles, who
acknowledge it to be the most qelightfal dress.
ing extant.
For the fixing of rtes and WatenfOS, and
keeping the hair in any desired form of Urea*•
tug, it has no equal. It renders the hair dark,
soft, and pliable, giving it a beautiful gloss.
,By its application the hair will curl with case,
and the ringlets will keep in curl much longer
than by the use of any other preparati4M, It
removes all dandruff and scurf, cleanses the
head, stimulates the scalp to a healthy action,
thereby restoring the natural color, and pro
duces a healthy and luxuriant growth.
For Muff gehe and Whiskers it is unparalleled
for increasing their growth and making them'
soft and pliable, and giving thorn a beautiful
lustre.
For the Nursery it is really the mother's
friend. In truth, the Nursery and the 2bilet are
not cOMplete without it. We would respect
fully ask a trial, And will Itaito the Judgment
to its own merits.
