TuN COII3IISE OF JEMIckEt.A.TION.
The United States is to a great extent in
debted for its rapid growth and marvellous
prosperity to that constant stream of im
migration which has sought its shores, first
Creating it into a nation, and then fur
nishing an uninterrupted supply of laborers
for all those great and multiform employ
ments which the vast territory and great
mineral and other wealth of the soil has
Dirnished and necessitated. We present
the curious phenomenon of a people having
a national character and peculiar national
traits, although but a compound and con
glomeration of individuals of heterogeneous
character, embracing representatives from
every country and almost every tribe on
the surface of the earth. To a nation thus
constituted, the rules that govern the move
ments of the peoples, and express their
natural tendencies and desires in the choice
of a new habitation, are of especial import
ance, and if any general laws can be even
roughly outlined, they may serve a useful
purpose by directing attention to the true
bearings of the subject.
Going back to the very first principles that
govern man in that essential point, the
selection of a home, we may begin with the
fUndamental doctrine, that man is a cosmo
politan—that the world was created for his
habitation, and fitted for his uses and ne
cessities. The steppes of Tartary, the de
serts of Africa, the snows of Iceland, and
the wild mountain fastnesses of America,
are the home of man, but it is not the same
man! Something beside difference of op
portunity or vigor and enterprise determine
the abode of each race, and that something
resolves itself into a mere question of
climate. ach individual is so constituted
as to prefer a certain temperature and other
fixed characteristics of atmosphere—as
moisture, heat, equability, of weather, or
tonic changes; these suit his special organi
zation, and assure his health and comfort.
When prompted by the love of adventure,
or compelled by the pressure Of adverse
circumstances to seek a new home in a
foreign land, he naturally selects one genial
to his habits of mind and body, and es
tablishes himself and his children there,
becoming a constituent part of the country
of his adoption, so thoroughly as to soon
forget and repudiate all the bonds bind
ing him to the land of his nativity.
Among the great national movements
that made a serious impression upon the
history of the world, was the invasion of
Italy by various German tribes. The
country was overrun through a long period
of years, and subjugated by barbarians;
but they had no great effect upon the peo
ple, for the men from the cooler countries
could not find homes on the Campagna.
It was only in the north and in the moun
tains that the German tribes could find a
fitting climate, and Lombardy still bears
the mark of the Longobardi in its name as
well 'as in its superior thrift; while the free
Swiss mountaineer is tht genuine descend
ant of the Alemani and Goth. Kindred
tribes to the forefathers of the Swiss High
landers invaded Gaul in the fifth century ;
Alsace was given to them as a fief; and
when, in progress of time, these peoples
were oppressed, they sought a new home
in a land suited to their hardy habits, and
the mountains of Pennsylvania proved the
asylum of the Protestants of Alsace and the
Palatinate.
When northern nations emigrate south_
wardly they must find homes where alti
tude has the effect of increased latitude.
Spain was the great battle-ground for the
conflict of opposing races for many years,
yet eventually the Saracen held possession of
the congenial plains of the South, and, the
Goths made their homes in the Pyrenees.
The curious fact that Austria and Spain
each boast a province styled Galicia, while
Asia Minor, also, contains a G.slacia, finds a
key in the isothermal line, which permitted
these distant places to be once held by the
very same tribes, who have left their name
to the soil, where the fame of the achieve•
ments of the ancient Gaul is now but a tra
dition.
The instances from authentic history
which Would support this theory are so
numerous, that every reader will be familiar
with them. Those already quoted were
the well established experience of ancient
times upon a subject which will demand
the attention of the people of our Northern
States very speedily, if it is not even now
clamoring for consideration.
But in more recent time the English have
boasted that their sails were on every sea,
and that the sun never set on British do
main. At liberty to seek hiifortune where
be chose, the Englishman went to Green
land for fish, and to the tropics for ivory,
but when. he sought for a permanent abode,
he found it in the direct line that nature has
fixed for successful emigration—similar
climate, westward. The Briton might go
to the East Indies for fortune, but he must
return eventually to his home with " a
good heart but no liver," to spend his
hoarded rupees among his kindred. It was
only when he followed the true course to
Massachusetts and New York, that he
found the temperature of Birmingham, and
could safely establish a home for himself and
his posterity. The distribution in the
United States shows the rule which we
have been enforcing. The Spaniard and
French early congregated on the southern
borders, and the Scotch and English in the
north, while the Germans found a fitting
place. Of late years Scandinavians have
taken firm root in Northern Illinois, where
the fresh lake breezes give their northern
lungs hearty inflation.
Tun New York journals are having
an angry dispute over the census re
turns for New York and Brooklyn, fur
nished by the State enumerators. They
indicate but a very trifling increase in popu
lation over the returns of Marshal Rvls-
Dußs in 1860 ; and, evidently, either one
of the returns is false and deceptive or
the "great metropolis" has remained sta
tionary during the last five years. The
true solution probably is that Marshal
Maimlts, in 1860, did precisely what was
believed at the thne—include all persons
doing buSiness in New York and the oceu
pants of its hotels in his returns. He had
two motives for this—trst, that he was
paid per head for his labors, and second, as
the apportionments were based on his re
port there was a chance of gaining Demo
cratic Congressmen, Senators, and legisla
tors in New York, by a liberal construction
of the law.. Now the State enumerators
probably report the actual, bona-fide
residents, the people who have their
social as well as their business home
in New York city ; and the floating popu
lation thus cut off is about equal to the
natural increase during the last five years.
As the record stands, the actual population
of New York IS about the same as that 'o
Philadelphia, and this is, no doubt; very
near the truth. It would be as foolish for
us to underrate the greatness of New York,
as it is for some of her sensation journals
to sneer at Philadelphia as an overgrown
' village.; but we are not surprised that a
Careful census has shown the fallacy of the
extravagant calculations of the loud trump
eters of her fame, nor theta very large pro
portion of her Nuances men gladlyklish. to
country retreats for the pure air an d
healthy homes denied them - within the en
virons of the city.
THE EXCHANGE OF P.ISOMERS.
Major General HrretreocK published in
the Washington C hroniele:of yesterday an
interesting letter, explainingat length the
course of our Government in relation to the
exchange of prisoners during the war, and
fully defending Secretary STANTON from
the attacks that have recently been made
upon the policy he adopted. The cartel
agreed upon at an early period of the rebel
lion was fully respected by us up to the
time when JEFFERSON Deans announced
bis determination to disregard it by deli
vering captured Union officers, who com
manded colored troops, over to the autho
rities of the Southern States to be tried for
inciting slave insurrections. President
Lrsc - ors responded by ordering rebel offi
cers to be retained as hostages for the
safety of the Union officers thus threatened.
The rebels, about this time, particularly
after the battle of Gettysburg, commenced
to arrest non-combatant Union citizens,
and declared their determination to hold
all such prisoners until our Government
consented to refrain, in all instances, from
arresting civilians connected with the re
bellion, and to grant virtual impunity to
all public sympathizers with Secession ,
With this demand our Government could
not, of course, comply without virtually
acknowledging the independence of the
Confederacy. The nest dishonoiable act
on the part of the rebel authorities was the
employment of rebel soldiers paroled at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson in the memo
rable battles of Chickamauga and Chatta
nooga, before they were regularly exchanged.
As prisoners accumlated In our hands, the
rebels were anxious to re-establish ex
changes; but, although they failed to carry
out their threat to punish the officers of
colored troops, they refused to acknowledge
the right of the latter to receive the treat
ment due to prisoners of war. At this
stage of the proceedings General HITCH
COCK says :
When the rebels discovered that the me
pension of exchanges was operating against
them, they resorted to the horrible expedient
of subjecting the prisoners they heldto starva
tion, and exposure to the elements without
the protection of quarters or tents, after first
robbing them of their money and most of their
clothing, and without reard to seasons or.
their inelemenciee, in the hope of forcing the
Government into a System of exchanges Which
should have the effect, not only of leaving
in their hands all of the colored prisoners
thev bad taken, but of throwing into their
ranks the entire body of prisoners held by the
Federal power, thengreatly in excess over
the prisoners held by the rebels, This fact is
proved by the declarations of the Richmond
papers, at the time when a few exchanges were
made, that their agent, Colonel (Mid, had not
sent over the lines the number of prisoners
equivalent to those received, hut only apro
bortionate number the ratio being determined
y Celonel Ould in view of the number of
RerisdoynerthheeWorltth—
t'aitnh taoghainst
in a r g e 4
serve the colored prisoners in the South
having never been abandoned. This fact was
further established by the official records of
the Commissary General of Prisoners, by.
which it appeared that, after sending several
boat-loads of exchanged prisoners each way,
the rebels 'were constantly falling in
debt. Upon observing this fact and noticing
I
the publication in Richmond, called upon
the Commissary General of Prisoners for a
tabular statement of the result ; and the state
ment showed an indebtedness in our favor of
over live hundred men ; which statement was
handed to the Secretary of War, who there
upon directed an order to General Grant to as
sume the entire direction of the matter of
exchanges, with authority to give such orders
as he might think proper on the subject.
General Grant at once reverted to first princi
ples, and directed that Colonel Geld or the
rebel authorities should he noticed that co
lored troops should be treated as prisoners of
war, when captured ; and, as the rebels were
not willing to accede to this requirement, no
further exchanges were made.
General HITCHCOCK proceeds to confirm
the worst reports Of the manner in which
clothing and supplies sent to these unhappy
prisoners by the Government and their
Northern friends were stolen by the rebels,
and concludes with the following pertinent
remarks ;
•
Many - have supposed that it was in the
power of the Government to afford relief to
the prisoners in the South by a resort to a re
taliatory treatment of rebel prisoners in the
North. It is difficult to meet a suggestion of
this kind by an appeal to the instincts of
eivilikcd humanity, because the mere sug
gestion supposes the absence of those instinCO,
and implies a willingness to see the public
sentiment degraded_ _ into barbarism which
would have putthe nation itself on the ,
of savages, whose only excuse for their bar
barity is their ignorance and their exclusion
from the eiviliZed world. The day must come
when every trite American will be proud of
the reflection that the Government was strong
enough to crush the rebellion without losing
the smallest element of its humanity or its
dignity, and stands before the world unim
peached in its true honor and glory.
WE NOTICED in our exchanges yesterday
an announcement that Major General
WINFIELD S. HANCOCK had been breveted
as Major General of the Regular Army;
that the citizens of St. Louis had placed a
fund of .13Q,000 in bank for the use of Gen.
SirEnarAN in purchasing and furnishing a
house ; and that Gen. GRANT had recently
been welcomed by his old neighbors at
Galena in the most enthusiastic manner.
The sidewalks of the town had been con
structed according to his wishes, by pri
vate subscriptions, and a handsomely fur
nisked house had been presented to him.
These manifestations of the popular feeling
go far to prove that republics are not un
grateful, and they are mere casual manifes
tations of the deep-seated feeling which per
meates the popular heart. = There are many
sad cases of distress among returned soldiers,
and there is much to be done publicly and
privately to relieve and benefit the defend
ers of the Union. But there is a sentiment
abroad in the land that will always respond
liberally to judicious and appropriate ap
peals for our heroic sons. Political as well
as social organizations should be deeply
impressed with the obvious fact we have
stated. The action of the Union State
Convention, in nominating two gallant sol
diers for Auditor and Surveyor General, is
universally approved by the people, and is
exercising a most salutary influence in
strengthening and consolidating the forces
of the Union party. This example cannot
'be too widely imitated by the local nond
nating Conventions yet to assemble. The
men who saved the nation from destruc
tion have the first claim to the honors and
emoluments of civil positions, and the best
right to serve in peace the land they served
so well in war.
IN ENDEAVORING to arrive at a correct
knowledge of the position of affairs in the
South, we Dlliar Rot overlook the fact that a
great many of its citizens who were reared
in affluence now find it difficult to obtain
the necessaries of life. The losses of the
war have been so great, and the destitution
in many districts so dreadful, that men who
were large . slaveholde.rs at the commence
ment of the rebellion are almost perishing
with hunger, and but for the bounty of our
Government in issuing rations, there would
undoubtedly have been numerous cases of
starvation. This abject poverty is naturally
forcing the great body of the people to adopt
industrious habits, and to devote much
more attention than formerly to the prosaic
but important art of " getting a living." It
is contended by some observers that this
necessity will go far to subdue rebellious
tendencies, and to destroy the future influ
ence of the demagogues who misled the
people into their present deplorable condi
tion ; and it will be very fortunate if this
theory proves correct
Pr Is REPORTED that a large proportion
of the sufferers by the defalcations of young
'KETCHUM are men who had profited by his
recent speculations, and that in reality they
will only lose by his forgeries a portion of
the money'they made by his sales and pur
diases of stocks. If this rumor is correct,
while it will not diminish the guilt of the
defaulter, it will lessen sympathy for those
homers of his false checks who belong to
the category indicated. There seems to
have been a grand stoch-gambling tourna
ment, in which the ring who profited by
his rashness one day found their profits re
duced on subsequent examination, by the
fact that he used in part worthless trash to
pay his "debts of honor." Of course, in
such extensive transactions, there must be
many exceptions to the rule we refer to—
but the general fact only gives another il
lustration of the numerous risks attendant
upon gigantic stock speculations. •

NEW YORK CITY, July Nth, 1535.
To Hie Execllsney the President of the United States: .
Sin: My acquaintance with Joshua T. Owen, late
a Brigadier General of Volunteers, Is limited by
the war. He was ordered by Major General Sumner
to support me with his regiment at the battle of
Glendale ;where his services were of so consploucuis
and ineritorlOUS a character that I felt it to be my
duty to make especial mention of him in my
report of that battle.
Subsequently he served under me while in com
mand of the Army of the. Potomac as a Brigade
Commander, and always gave inegreat satisfaction
in the performance of his duties. During this time
my private intercourse with him was limited, but I
am happy to state that it has left on my mind a fa
vorable impression, and I regard him as a gentle
man of noble impulses and of great personal worth.
As a citizen and a soldier I feel a high respect for
General Owen.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

BASE BALL.—The celebrated Empire
Club, of NeW York, Will arrive here this morn
ing, in the eight o'clock train, via Kensington ;
and proceed to the Union Jlotel, Arch street,
above Third, which appears to be the head
quarters for base-ball players. After dinner
they will play with the Athletics, game to be
gin at hall-oast two o'clock, at Fifteen th s tree t
and Columbia avenue. This will prove one of
the most exciting contests of the season, as
the clubs are very evenly matched. On this oc
casion the public will have an opportunity to
judge of the advantages of slow against fast
pitching. Mcßride, of the Athletics, is pro
bably "the fastest pitcher in the Uhion, while
Martin, of the Empires, is one of the slowest.
Many good judges contend that aloes Pitching,
with a heavy twist, is more effective than
swift pitching. This game will afford an ffn
pertunity to decide this vexed question. The
Empires rank as a first-class organization, and
they are said to be the handsomest men ever
seen upon a hall field. They come here hop
ing to win four balls, and they will be disap
pointed if they do not obtain three. The Ath
letics (admonished by their poor display with
the Actives,) will have out a strong nine, in
cluding Kleinfelder, Mcßride, hierkenstoek,
Reatch, etc. Ample arrangements have been
made to seat the ladies, over one thousand
seats being reserved for them. On the night
of the 27th the Athletics start for Washington.
SYNOD OF THE REFORMED PRESBY
TERIAN CHIIRCH.—A committee of the General
Synod of the Reformed Presbterian Church
Of the United States have, in obedience to the
order of the Synod, overtnred to the lower
judicatories the following - propositions :
That the Covenant, which was adopted as
the oath of God, hi the city of Philadelphia,
in the year 1833, be taken at the next annual
meeting of the Synod ; that in the interim the
people be preparedbythe ministrations of the
pulpits throughout the whole Church, and by
the prayers of both ministers and elders, and
all the people, for a copious outpouring of the
Holy Ghost, so that the hearts of all may be
"starred np," so as that "they shall come and
do work in the house of the Lord of Hosts their
God ;" that the Thursday immediately follow
ing the day of the opening of the Synod be ob
served as a day of fasting, humiliation, and
prayer, and that the following day be ap
pointed for reading , and subscribing to the
Covenant. It is further proposed "that the
Covenant, when taken by us, shall be pre
sented to our ecclesiastical connections in the
British Isles„ and to the evangelical churches
in this land, And throughout the world; and
that all who duly take it shall be entitled to
communion and fellowship the one with the
other in sealing ordinances, as well as in acts
of official ministration."
Tir. HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday appears to
have been a rather prolific day for accidents.
Christian Fussinger, five years old, whose pa
rents reside at Seventh and Noble streets, fell
from a shed in that vicinity and broke his left
arm.
John Clark, aged seventeen years, employed
in Millerswoollen mill, on Lombard street,
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, Was
eauot by the shaft yesterday afternoon and
received several severe contusions of the
body, but none of them are deemed serious.
William Cardon, a lad of twelve years, had
the thumb and forefinger of his left hand
badly lacerated by getting them caught be
tween the cog-wheels' of a patent ice-cream
freezer, in a confectionary store on Spruce
street.
John Burner, employed at the Continental
Hotel, was wounded in the left arm, with a
beef-hook, yesterday* afternoon. The injury
is painful, but not serious.
THE lEPLErx OP BUSINESS MEN.—Large
numbers of businen men are now arriving in
our city from the South and West to make ar
rangements for the fall season. Last evening
the number of our arrivals ofthis class of gen
tlemen at the hotels wad very large. It is
hoped that the coming business season will be
a brisk and prosperous one; The close of the
war has extended the circle of buyers, and
Philadelphia, owing to her great natural ad+
vantages, is the most convenient depot in the
country for this species of trade. Old friends
are returning and new acquaintances are be
ing formed, and everything appears to
Cate a return of confidence.
FihE.—The alarm of fire which occurred
yesterday afternoon, between two and three
o'clock, was occasioned by the burning of some
of the wood-work in a hemp rope establishment
on Fifth street, below Market. But little da
mage was done, and the llamas were soon ex
tinguished with a bucket of - water. It is due
to the energy of chief Engineer Lyle that no
further damage was caused by water, as an at
tachinent of the hose had been made and the
building would have been - flooded. Ile ran:9od
to allow any stream to be directed upon 'the
lire, thus preventing much damage by water.
The loss is inconsiderable.
CoTaaSION OF HOSE CABRIMiES.- - -Ddring
au alarm of fire, about eight o'clock, on Mon
day night, the hose carriages of the West
Philadelphia Engine Company . and West Phila.
delphia Hose Company, collided on Bridge
street, below Thirty-fourth. Both carriages
were on the track, that of the Hose Company
being ahead. The ca t rriage of the Engine Com
pany came up with Such force that it could not
be stopped, the grade being very steep and
the apparatus not well manned. It ran into
the former and injured a number of firemen
who were pushing behind. Alfred Beam, re
siding in Centre street was badly inluxed, and
is supposed to base iad some Or his ribs
broken. George Marshall hadan ankle broken,
and was taken to his home, in Blodgett street.
George Hughes was badly cut about the head.
BAD DROWNING Cam—A sad case of
drowning took place on Monday hist, in the
Delaware. It appears that a young lady, Miss
Elizabeth Finis, twenty-two years old, was
going from this ' city to Camden, on Monday
evening, when; by some means, she fell from
the ferry-boat,' and before she could be res
cued she was drowned. The body, immedi

worth and usefulness of their late brother, and
the loss the cause bas sustained in his death.
They also sympathize with the family of de

rived in this city yesterday morning. The
regiment was discharged at Harrisburg , a few
days ago, and has returned to the city in
squads. When discharged the regiment num
bered 450 men, only 78 of whom belonged to it
at the time of its organization. Major Benja
min A. Phifer had command at the time of its
discharge.
COOPER SHOP SALOON. —The committee
managing this institution will hold a meeting
this evening—probably the final one—with the
view of closing the establishment. In round
numbers, upwards of four hundred thousand
mauls have been furnished to soldiers, sailors,
teamsters, /to., of the Union, since the opening

It is said that the Secretary of the Treasury
has no present authority to issue bonds, but
must rely upon certificates of indebtedness,
internal revenue, and temporary loans, with
occasional sales of specie, until Congress
comes together again in December. On the
last day of the session in March, the two
Houses authorized the issue of six hundred
millions of the seven-thirty convertible bonds'
which it was thought would be sufficient, with
the other resources, to defray the expenses-
Since then the army and navy have been
greatly reduced, but the expenditures have
been so large that the Treasury Department,
after a lapse of six months—in which time the
whole loan has bee.n sold—is again in want of
money. The soundness of the public credit is
the life of the nation ; and while it becomes
the people to sustain it, at every kaasonable ete.
erifice, still more does it behoove the Govern
ment itself to maintain its financial integrity,
by sagacity, uprightness, and economy, for
until Congress meets no new loan can be made
to meet any defieieifey between receipts and
payments. The way to reduce the price of
gold, or to keep it from rising, is to check as
far as possible the issues of paper Money, to
prohibit the selling of specie by the national
banks, to retrench , expenses, to decrease the
time, and, in many cases, the pay of officials,
and reduee the swarms Of 0/110e-hOlders, which
were more necessary In war than in peace,
and which continue to swell the enormous ag.
gregate of expenses. The people have been
made familiar with heavy outgees during the
war, when no one thought of stopping to count
the cost of saving the nation's life, but that me.
cessity having happily passed away, it is time
to inaugurate a system of economy, so that the
Government can cease being a borrower, and
adopt measures for gradually reducing the
debt already contracted. This course of ac
tion, besides diseharging an 'absolute duty,
would elevate the estimation of all the public
securities.

The Cincinnati Gazette says that some of the
Cincinnati hOuSes had deposits with Netchtum

who are abundantly able to bear them.
Satterthwatte's circular of the 9th instant
says, in reference to American securities :
American securities remained steady for
some days, until the arrival of the telegrams
per the North American reporting a rapid ad
vance in Erie shares and the declaration of
dividends: This caused much excitement in
London, and a large business was done at 55 ;
but upon sellers appearing to realize profits
they . gave way to 5030 . Illinois shares dull and
declining. Five-twenties have fluctuated be
tween 08 and 69, closing steady at 68M. Con
siderable business was done in the Alantic and
Great Western debentures at 851a57.
The revenue receipts of the Canadian Go.
veranent for •the eighteen months ending
Nth June last were $16,731,260, while the ex
penditures for the same time were $16,147,700,
leaving a deficit of 0396,450. This deficit is atl
tributed to the extraordinary outlay caused
by the St. Albans raid and the sending of vo
lunteers to the frontier. The customs receiptd
for the whole period taken together show a
greater average than the preceding year's,
though the receipts for the last half year indi
cate a large falling off, as will be seen below:
Half year ending June 30,1868 $2,103,087
Halt year ending Dee. 31,1863 3,067,992
Half year ending June 30, 1864 3,074,799
Half year ending DUc. 31, 1864 3,539,300
Half year ending June 30,1803 2,067,000
The revenue from the excise, on the other
band, is improving, the figures being as fol
lows:
Half year ending Jun e 30, 18411 $418,102
Dalt year ending Dee. 31, 1863 411,639
Dalt' year ending June 20, 1851 598,351
Half year ending Dee. 31,1884 340,050
Half year ending June 30,1865 795,950
The receipts from public works are about
the average of years when the tolls on the St.
Lawrence canals are remitted. The Crown
Land receipts seem to have made an extraor
dinary advance. In 1861 these receipts were
$678,923, and did not vary much from these
figures in 1862,1863, and 1864. For the first six
months, of 1865, however, the receipts were
$fi ' 991,090. The Toronto Globe, in reviewing
these figures remarks " With the certainty
of a considerable increase of revenue for the
current six months, we must say that the
financial prospect is by no means bad, and
that the croakings of the prophets who have
been looking for a deficiency of five millions,
arc ricliculouslq out of place,' -
It is estimated in tke last census returns
that there are two hundred and nineteen
establishments for the manufacturing of men's
furnishing goods in the United States, which
represent a capital of $2,556,500. The material
thus made up costa $9,909,607; and employs ZS
male and 1,508 female operatives. The com
bined product of these manufactures is repre
sented at *7,218,790. •

truer maxim than that "Prevention is better than
Cure.
PLANTATION BITTERS
Should always be used whenever the first symptom
of disease is felt. Heartburn, Headache, Cold Feet,
Pain in the Bach, LOW Spirits, and Indigestion, are
the sure forerunners of Dyspepsia, and. other hor ,

For an such symptoms PLANTATION BITTERS
are a certain and Ready Relief. An immediate good
effect is always felt from the first trial. They are
easy to procure, pleasant to take, and sure to do
good.

Always to hope, than once to despair;
