VOL. 9.-NO. 33.
He had also cultivated strong ties with
many Northerners ; and being young and
ambitious, saw in their support and in their
association the most flattering assurance
of his ultimate su&iess. Having lived a
short time in his early youth in lowa,
he there imbibed that earnest attachment
to the people of the Northwest which
never deserted him, and hence he remained
in the Senate during the called session,
taking the ground of extreme opposition to
the war, but always asserting that he did
not intend to oppose the Government.
His pretext for going to Richmond WEE to
bring back his son, who had fled from his
home in Lexington and joined the enemy.
Now, when such a person, in view of such
connections, and in spite of sucli pledges,
is forced to break from and violate them,
this country is no place for him. It is a
sad thing that a man /scarcely forty
years of age, in the very prime of life,
with the most brilliant future ever set
before an American citizen, should, by
holding to a false chivalry, destroy not
only his own future and the future
of his children, but make of himself a
'wanderer and a fugitive. Hindman is of a
different type. He was a fiery, insolent, and
intractable member of the House, always
rushing to extremes, and particularly apt to
resort to the argument of the pistol and the
bowie-knife. If more of the same school
were to follow his example, and to expatriate
themselves, it would lie better for the people
of the Southern country. Preston, before
the war, was a voluptuary—a purse-proud,
conceited, and bombastic pretender. Fond
of the gratification of his appetites, and
contemptuous of free institutions, he hailed
the rebellion as the time to establish
.I.ln
aristocracy; he goes to a foreign govern
ment, where large wealth may purchase
a sort of recognition from aristocratic
circles. He would not be happy in
Louisville, his former residence ; he
never could come to Washington in a
representative capacity; and as it is to be
presumed he saved a large amount of
money, living as he did in a State which
he failed to carry out of the Union, he
will no doubt end his clays in some of the
southern European capitols—in the grati
fications of his animal tastes, and in the
indulgence of vapid dissertations upon the
ingratitude of republics. Magruder himself
liked foreign society, having spent a num
ber of years in Europe, by permission of the
War Department, in times of peace. Price
was so cruel and remorseless in his war
fare in Missouri, and so determined in
placing everything upon the hazard of the
die, that he would have a hard road to
travel if he remained in the United States.
In looking over this list of persons who vo
luntarily left their country for other coun
tries, I note that there are many whose
names are not given to the public
that have taken the same courses=
many . who will be missed from
national politics and from the places in
which during many years they reigned
supferae. It is not pride simply that in
duces these men to emigrate, nor an appre
ciation of the fact that they could not live
in the South—not because their personal
safety would be in danger, but because the
institution of slavery, upon which they
luxuriated, has been exterminated. Not
one of these men, with probably the ex
ception of Breckinridge and Jack Ma
gruder, but could not go to New York or
Paris, and stay there years at a time, and
draw the almost incalculable proceeds of
their plantations. The amount of money
spent by these people, and the objects for
which it was expended, if it could be stated,
would almost equal, the exaggeration of
Dumas' Monte Cristo, How can such men
come down to the hard duties of daily
labor ? They are answering by going to
foreign countries, and there living upon
such money as they have saved from the
wreck—having no doubt anticipated the
storm which destroyed alike their own
hopes and purified the country of their
presence. OCCASIONAL.

Nadal DeoPate2les to The Press.]
oniciai Reports of the Progress of the
Cholera.
Advices have been received at the State De .
partrnent of the progress of the cholera. Un
der date of August IJtly ISA the United States
Consul at Port Mahon, informs the Department
that there is now at the quarantine a Turkish
steamer which left Alexandria, Egypt, with
eighteen hundred pilgrims, and arrived. at
Port Mahon, with but twelve hundred and
eighty. Five hundred are reported as 'having
died en route from the efteets of Asiatic cho
lera, Tile captain Of the vessel, on arriving
at Port Mahon, reported to the authorities
that there were no contagious or other dis
eases on board ; but, upon examination of the
steamer by the quarantine ofdeera, dead bodies
in an advanced state of decomposition were
found. The captain pleaded ignorance of it,
and averred that he was not aware that any
such eases existed. This statement, however,
is not credited, and the five hundred not ac
counted for may have perished from the
cholera. Yery little faith is pieced in his
statements, and the discrepancy of the
report, with the facts as developed, leave
it in great doubt: The Consul reports that
all mails and despatches from quarantine
are now delivered. Reports received at Port
Mahon concur in the opinion that the cholera
is gradually progressing westwardly. The
Consul reports that thus far the cholera has
followed the pilgrims, who are packed like
sardines on shipboard. Their religion does
not allow them, while passing to and front
Mecca, to sleep in beds, to wash, or to eat any
warm food. They are covered with filth and
vermin, and are spreading disease all over the
Mediterranean.
The United States Consul at Palermo, under
date of August 14th, informs the Depart
ment that, owing to a serious spread of the
cholera at Alleolla4 111lCfc already some
eight hundred people have died, and iso
lated eases having also happened in other
towns of Italy, France, and Spain, the local
authorities have imposed seven days of qua
rantine on all arrivals from Italian, French,
and Spanish ports, including Gibraltar.
[Port Mahon is a fortified town of Spain,
capital of 'Minorca, one of the Balearic islands,
on its south side. It is the residence of the
Military Governor and of the Bishop of
Mi
norca. Its port is one of the best and most
enturoodiouS in the Mediterranean.]
letter to the Chronicle, dated Constanti•
nople, August 18th, states that the cholera is
increasing in it ravages. Four hundred per•
sons are buried every day, and the population
is fleeing to the mountains. There iy ft whole
sale depopulation of the laboring elasse. The
Rearm, gtstitsCilbed by the correspowlent
taking place in °Constantinople, are terrible
beyond conception. Much of the mortality is
in consequence of poor and insufficient food.
The Fenian Fever.
flibleat before the smoke of the guns an
nouneing the end of rebellion has vanished,
the British Ministers are called upon to look
to their own household. Even as they wore
felicitating themselves upon their own se
curity, and exultingly comparing it with the
complications that have resulted to the
Americans from their own great war, a for
midable conspiracy in Ireland passes before
their consternated vision like the spectred
ghosts of Richard's dream, or the misty pro
cession of kings, summoned by the incanta
tions of the weird sisters. In the farewell
number of the London Index, the cut-throat
organ of the resident rebel spies in London, is
an article going to show and to prove that
"nine.tenths" of the aristocracy of England
were open and decided in their prayers and in
their payment.* for the success of the assas
sins .who sought the life of the American
Government. This article, prepared with
skill ?And care, shows what a dreadful disap.
pointment to these men was the success of
that government. Showing at once the hatred
of the Tories for the Union cause, and their
unconscious preparation for a sweeping re.
venge and retribution, they virtually sent
out from Liverpool that "robber of the
seas it—the Shenandoah—which has for
months been plundering and burning
peaceful American vessels, and is still
engaged in its pleasant recreations ! This act,
in connection with others equally flagrant,
and violative of the laws of war and that
comity of nations so loudly insisted upon by
Great Britain, has been indlieetly sanetioned
by the English Government by its refusal of
that full and just concession of the rights
of conquest to the United States as "against
the conspirators, accorded promptly and
completely by every other civilized nation
in the world ! And, at this moment, it
is notorious that the twenty-four hour notice
rule is insisted upon by the British minis
try to save the Shenandoah; indeed, they
admit that they are Interested ih her, by as
sisting the scoundrel, JAAIRS M. AL 4.50 N, the
rebel emissary at London, to give the pirate
chief notice that the war is over, and it is
about time to quit 1311ing, stealing, and burn
ing. The Irish rebels (not like ours), the
spoiled darlings of the home Government, but
oppressed and hunted by their British masters,
have not been, on their part, indifferent to
the vengeance gathering atntlnst the English
nobility by these deeds ofwrong. They saw
in silence that their tyrants were helping ours
—that the example adopted to help slavery
in the. United States to destroy the only really
good government among the nations, might
be used by , them, in , God's own pleasure,
against their - British masters. Can Eng
land complain if the United States recog
nize the Fen lens should they make head
against her authority, as she steadily helped,
and, by that act, efliclently recognized the slave
rebels here front the first hour of their mur
derous conspiracy down to the present mo
ment? She is the law-maker of the world.
She is the apostle of civilization. She has
made new statutes for our hurt. Shall we now
use them to hers? It is not necessary to an
answer, that as we protested against taking
her poisoned chalice, we cannot force it upon
her, should she in tut n be in our power, as we
have been in her's. That is a matter of con
science for after action. Meanwhile, Mr.
SEWARD is adding new charges 'to his bill
against the British Government, and the last
item, being the cost of the pleasure trip of the
She»andoah, will make our account almost as
long as the catalogue of grievances presented
by the Fenian Brotherhood!

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—After the record of
y eaterday had been read, Dlr. Baker remurked
that on looking over the testimony he was so
much impressed that a great deal of it was
illegal that he now asked the court when they
came to eXamine, it to treat it accordingly.
This applied to twowthirdS of the testimony,
and a motion in a civil count to strike it out
would be granted. But as nothing could be
stricken out of the record of a military court,
he would ask that this court diseardtheillegal
testimony.
Assistant Judge Advocate Hosmer said it wait
proper that the reasons for the request should
be stated.
Mr. Baker replied that he noticed in several
pages of the testimony where the Judge Ad vo
cate asked a leading question and the witness
es said " Yea,” or "_'O," Another reason was
the witnesses, after thus replying to the ques
tions, would add rumors or hearsays which had
nothing legally to do with this case, or as af
fecting the prisoner.
Assistant Judge Advocate Homier presumed
that a court constituted like this was capable
of judging what was and what was not testi
mony.
Mr. Baker supposed he had a right to object
to what was wrong, and to exercise the same
privilege that he would in a civil court.
The official reporters made a minute of Mr.
Baker's suggestions.
Joseph Adler testified as to instances of suf
fering of the sick similar to those hereto
fore narrated by other witnesses ; lie men
tioned the case of a man a ho had been assailed
by the dogs ; the throat had been torn to pieces,
and the blood.was running from the wounds ;
Wits.. Drs. White and Stevenson, and others
werenear the man at the time ; they did not
seem to have any compassion for him ; Wirz
said it " served the d--d man right;' the Man
died on the spot; the same day some of the
prisoners had been digging a tunnel with a
view to escape ; one of their number betrayed
them, saying to Captain Wirz that lie would
communicate good nest s if the captain would
give him something to eat ,• Wits promised to
do so, and came with six others to fill up the
tunnel ; Wits carried a loaf of cornbread under
his arm to give to the informer a man almost
dead with the diarrhoea, seeing Wirz, got up
from the ground and said, "please give me
something to eat, I have been too sick to go for
my food 3" Wits had a riding whip in his hand,
with which he struck the man over the head;
the man went into fits, and was taken to the
hospital; two days after that he died; the wit
ness had seen men suffering in the Stocks ; of
the seventy , one men who accompanied him to
the prison, all excepting twelve died ; en one
occasion he saw Wirz with a sentinel; a man
having crossed the dead line, Wirz asked the
sentinel why he did not shoot, and instructed
him to shoot, whether the man was OVCt the
deadline or not; he further said if the sentinel
did not shoot he would have him punished ;
the sentinel then shot the mart, the ball taking ,

William H. Jennings, a negro soldier belong
ing to the Sth Cnited States, testified that the
wound which he received in his left thigh was
, tot dressed after he was taken to Anderson
ville,; he was whipped in the month of March,
1564, for not going to work; this was by order
of Capt. Wirz ; a month after he was imprison
ed he was not able to work, having caught a
heavy cold by working in the swamp ; tile man
Turner . , who had charge of the dogs, whipped
him. giving him thirty Oashes On the, bare
back ;be was th put itt the stocks for a night
and a day, with nothing to eat or drink; after
being released, he was again put in the stock
ade ; be could not walk ; when. in the hospital
the witness saw a man who lied been shock
ingly bitten in the head by the dogs, and who
died soon after.
Crosa-examination.—The witness said he
was captured at Oluskee ; his wound WAS never
dressed, but healed up.
Thomas N. Way, belonging to an Ohio regi
ment, said while at Andersonville he was
punished fro. fifteen minuttO by being tied by
the thumbs and held up, his toesbarely
tousl
ing the ground ; he attempted to escape, and
was captured: encountering Wirt, the latter
said, "Well, you're back again;" the witness
replied, "I guess so ;" when Wirt continued,
m going . to take eare of you this time ;
put you in the stocks;' the witness said, in a
Joke, after this was over, "I'd rather be car
ried than walk;". when Wirz replied, "You
God damned son of —, if you give me any
more of your lip, 1 , 11 shoot you;"
Wirt then
pat him in the stocks four days longer ;.his
head and feet were fastened in the stocks, his .
back on ground,4l.nd lila file° eXposed to
the sun ; the punishment was inflicted because
he attempted to escape; he knew personally
about the. bounds; he had been captured by
them* three or four times; a young fellow,
named Freddy, seventeen yearsold, was
caught by the toot, and afterward torn all to
atoms by the dogs.
The witness and another companion in the
escaping party climbed a tree, but they were
caught and brought back; this was in the lat
ter part of August, 18s4 Turner, who was with
the hounds, said: " Good for you sons of-5
wish the dogs had torn all of you to picees.”
The witness said lie was bucked, and didn't
know but that he deserved it, for being late at
roll-call. He explained at some length buck
ing and gagging, and gage his experience in
the chain-gang, In September, lace while
forming line, a sick man could not find his
place, and ran up to the head of the line, whore
he was met by Wits with the exclamation:
"You Yankee -- of a —, if you
don't get in the ranks I'll shoot you;" he
struck the man with his revolver, and knocked
him some feet; the man being weak, could not
get up ; this was the only time he saw Wirz
use his pistol; the witness was in ball and
chain, with four others, for twenty-five days,
for attempting to make his escape.
The court, at one, took a recess till two
O'clock,
When the court reassembled, - John H.
Stearns testified that shots were frequently
fired into the stockade by the sentinels; tic
saw on August sth men wbo had received gun
shot wounds and were sent to the hospital,
and described the shocking condition of tee
prisoners who were planed in the hospital,
some of whom were almost naked; and he re
membered one case especially were the most
offensive filth had got between the man's
clothes and his skin, penetrating his nose,
month, and rectum, causing him intense pain,
as was evident, from his actions k the man was
delirious and died; many others became de
lirious from disease; amputation was fre
quently performed, resulting almost in
variably in death; he did not remember any
cases of recovery where amputation had been
performed; the effect of the vaccinate was
syphilis ; some cases as marked in their cha
racter as that disease itself.
Alexander Kennel], who was a prisoner at
Andersonville, testified that he had seen men
- with ball and chain, and had seen them bucked
and gagged, and iu the stocks; a man who be
longed to a Pennsylvania regiment, about the
lath of February, was put in the stocks at four
o'clock in the afternoon, and was brought back
to the stockade at nine o'clock ; the man did
not eat anything after he came in, and told
him he had been chilled thoroughly; the man
soon died, in consequence of the exposure to
the weather another man, to his knowledge,
died from iniurica received in the Chain gang,
- William Willis Scott testified to the cruelty
of Capt. Wirz. In the latter part of August a
sick man, sitting on a bank, asked Capt. Wirt
to be sent to the hospital, when the latter
cursed the invalid and struck him a violent
blow over the head. The man went into his
tent and died a day or two after. The witness
Mentioned another case, where one of the
guard threw a brickbat awl struck Wirz on
the shoulder. Wirt, without stopping to make
inquiry, drew his revolver, and shot a Union
man: - •
L. It. Pond, of the 2d New York Heavy Artil
lery, testified that he took the names of men
who bad beenrobbed of blankets and canteens
at Andersonville; the witness saw Wirt take
the picture of a lady and two children From a
Michigan soldier, and throwing the photo
graph on the ground and tramp it beneath his
heel ; the soldier's wife was dead, and this WAS
al] he had to remember her with; another pie
,' ture was taken from a young man; it was that of
the lady he was waiting upon ; it was passed
around, the rebel officers making vulgar re-
Marks about it, saying they would like to sleep
with the original ; the young . man asked that
the picture be returned to him, but the rebel
officer retained IL, and pulling out his revolver
threatened to shoot him. The witness men
tioned eases of shooting - men at the dead line,
of hounds being sent out after prisoners, and
• of Wirz's cruelty to a sick man.
Rufus Monday, 75111 Ohio,.testified that on
the eAI. of February he saw Wirt pick up a
brickbat, and with it strike a man on the lower
part of the ear; and on the 10th of March lie
kicked a young man who had sat down, and
whose mouth and nose bled in consequence of
the assault.
Abner A. Kelley, 40th. Ohio, testified that
when he and his fellow-prisoners were taken
to Andersonville they were- robbed of their
blankets, canteens, and watches, which were
removed to captain Wirz,is headquarters they
were never returned to their owners; a eraZY
man having been shot, the sentry was asked
why he did so, when he replied he was acting
under orders of Captain Wirt ,• the latter, on
being asked by a prisoner whether he expect
ed the - men to live with such usage and un
wholesome foot as wee shown to him, replied :
"Ills good enough for you Yankees
the prisoner, in August, Mut t saw a sick man
at the gate, with a sore on him as large as the
crown of his hat, filled with maggots and fly
blown; the man had been at the gate twenty
four lumes 5 the sergeant asked Captain Wits
to have the man carried to the hospital ; "XO, ll
said Wirz, "let him lie there acid die the
111 man was afterward carried out a corpse.
i Sydney Smith, 11th Connecticut, saw Wirt
I knock a man down with his revolver; another
; man, who was sick, received a severe bayonet
wound ; almost, every time a sentry shot a Mall
lie tams relieved on a thirty days' furlough.
Goodfeldt Brunner, 14th Connectiont. testi
fied the prisoners were treated well until
CapthinWirz assumed command of the prison ;
Wire used to come into the stockade every
woman, anti 11, tato wax was woing the
whole detachment would be deprived of food
until be was accounted for ; the witness being
Rick one day, was not at morning roll-call;
Wirz came into his tent and called him a Yan
kee s—n of a b—h, drew his revolver, and
threatened to kill him on the spot; the wit
ness replied it would be better if Wirz would
kill him; whereupon Wirz kicked him out of
bed ; some ladies who had assembled al the
gate asked our men what they came there to
tight for? one of the prisoners made them a
speech, at which they heeame angry; Wirz
coming up, said: "Get away you d—d Yan
kees, I've got enough powder and ball to kill
all of lOW,
Thomas H. Howe testified as to the blankets,
coats, watches, money, tte., having. been taken
away from the prisoners and handed to•Wirz ;
when the prisoners arrived at Anderaonville,
it was difficult for him to find a plane to lie
on, the ground being so thickly covered with
prisoners; he could not at first sleep, owing
to the wounds and groans of the sick; when
be woke in the morning he saw dead men all
around him.

.BANQUET AT THE CONTINENTAL/
SPEECHES, TOASTS, ETC.
The annual meeting of the National ASSO
elation of Wool Manufacturers was held yes
terday, in the Board of Trade rooms—Presi
dent E. B. Bigelow, of Boston, in the chair.
The Committee on Amendments to the By
taws.recommended that the animal meetings
hereafter be hem in • October, instead of Sep
tember, and that the president, vice preSidellt,
and secretary shall be eligible for re-election
as often as the association may determine.
The report was adopted.
The secretary's report was next read, as fol
lows :
The Wawa of the "National Association of
Wool Manufacturers" make it the duty of the
secretary to prepare, under the direction of
the government, an annual report of the trans
actions and condition of the association. The
• following is submitted in conformity with this
requirement:
The want of some organization capable of
united and systematic action, having long been
felt among those engaged in the woollen ma
n ufacture, a circular was addressed on the 10th
day of August, 1804, to those most directly in
terested in the matter. In response to this
o r l e m an a B 7-
1.
call a large number of h
facturers of the countr l y, e ding
from Ohio,
ramie, New York, New,Tersey, Maryland, Dela
ware, and from each of the six New England
States, assembled in convention at Springfield,
Mass., on the 12th day of October, 1804. The
convention at that time resolved that it should
proceed to the formation of a "National As
sociation of Wool Manufacturers," To carry
this resolntion into effect a committee was ap
pointed to prepare a plan of organization and
report at an adjourned meeting of the con
vention, to be, held on the - 30th of No
vember following. The convention having
met on that day, and having been dissolved,
the association was organized by adopting
articles and by-laws whieh had been presented
by the committee, and by choosing officers as
therein described. Meetings of the govern
ment, provided for in the by-laws, were suc
cessively held at Boston, Mass., on the 21st day
Of Deeelhimr, Isilt; at New York on the 15th
day of March, lPia at New York on the 17th
day of May, ; at Newport, It. 1., on the inn
day of July, 1565, and at Philadelphia on the
3d. of September. These meetings were all
numerously attended. At all ofthem interest
ing discussions took place npon questions re
lating totha interests of the association. Com
mittees were also appointed having in charge
the more important matters to be acted upon
by the government. By the direction of
the government a statement was . pre
pared by the President of the " Objects
and Plan " of the association. This has been
printed and extensively circulated. It was
regarded by the government that the nrst and
most important duty of the association was
to obtain information of the actual condition
of the woollen manufacture throughout the
United States. With great labor a list of all
persons known Or believed to be engaged in
the woolen manufacture was prepared, Cir
culars containing such interrogat ions as would
draw forth the desired information were sent
to all persons on this list, about 1,700 in all ; 931
returns have been received, representing 4,073
sets of machinery. and returns are coming in
a
daily. It is belied that by this means the
association will be in possession of complete
and accurate statistics of the woollen machi
nery in operation in this country, the amount
and description of wool consumed, and the
quantity and character of goods manufac
tured; information indlepensablefor wise and.
just legislation in matters affecting ear inte
rests. ft is believed that no inquiries at present
pursued by the National Government will fur
nish a basis for such legislation. It is the ob
ject of the government to place the associa
tion upon such a basis that it shall have
weight in our national councils, ana that the
interests of all the woollen manufacturers of
the country shall be fully represented and
eared for. The government believe that they
have accomplished all that could have been
expected in a few months of the existence of
the association in completing its organiza
tion and arranging Be machinery. They have
not deemed it wise to attempt too much or to
make a display of their operations. The value
of such an organization exists most in its
silent and hardly appreciable influence, and
time and patience arc necessary to secure that
which is really useful and permanent. The
association consists at present of 101 members,
a number which it is hoped may be greatly
increased when our "objects and. plans" are
more fully known..
The chairman of the Committee on Statis
tics, reported that they would. not be able to
make a report to-day; but that they were bu
sily engaged in collecting statistics and infor
mation valuable to the association.
The Committee on Machinery, reported that
they were not ready to make a written report
on the subject. The committee is engaged in
inspecting all machines used by wool manu
facturers, and examininginto their merits. A
number of new and improved machines were
alluded to by the chairman of the committee
in his remarks.

The Secretary then read his annual address.
It gave a detailed history of the organization ,•
also, an Recount of the manufacture of wool
and 'cotton, and its progress down to the pre
sent day in this country and in Europe. It
was a lengthy document. The crowded state
of our columns will not permit of its publica
tion. It will appear in pamphlet formic a few
days.
Mr. Harris, of Rhode Island, offered the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That the Committee on Manufac
tures he instructed to inquire into the value
and validity of anypatent that maybe brought
before them, and report to the government at
same future meeting.
This lad to a discussion on the subject of ob.
tenting patents, in which the secretary of the
association made a statement of the modus
operandi of procuring a patent. The resolu
tion missed unanimously.
Mr. Caned, of this city, made some state
ments relative to spinning. mules. He WM the
owner of a pair of them of 480 spindles each.
Their cost was less than half of hand-spinning.
They have been running six months, and had
cost nothing for keeping them in order.

At 6 o'clock, by invitation, the convention
assembled in the reception room of the Conti
nental Hotel, where and when the company
Wan assembled, At 7 o'clock they proceeded
to the supper room Of the hotel, whern a most
bountiful supper was provided; the room was
tastefully decorated with American flags,
gracefully .festooned. The upper table,
around which at the distinguished persons
present, was elevated above the others. Mr.
Merton McMichael. the chairman, owe - riled
the centre chair. The bills of fare were print
ed on white satin, enclosed in embossed enve
lopes, and the affair was one of the grandest
ever given in this city.
Among the distinguished hearers present
were Mr. TligelOw, President of the associa
tion ; Hon. Simon Cameron, Hon. John Covesie,
Hon. Wm. D. Kelly, Senator Wilson General
Cadwalader, J. Buchanan Read, Geo. ft. Bolter,
Chas. H. Gilpin. C R. Walborn, postmaster of
Philadelphia; H. C. Carey, Fredertok Fraley,
Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie, and others.
Morton McMichael presided and, on assum
ing the chair, made the following address:
GENTLEMEN OF. THE NATIONAL WOOL MANIT
FACTUELES' AssoclATioN: The citizens of
Philadelphia. have assembled here this eve
ning to do s.ou honor. They. have assembled
in the persons of representative men of the
commerce, the manufactures, the finances, the
trade, the labor, the arts, the learned profes
sions, and the press of the city, to express
their gratification at your presence among
them. Their motive to this manifestation is
twofold. First, as most of you Dave come
from distant places on matters of high public
concern, they desire to offer you suitable pub
lic hospitalities ; and next, as those matters
intimately involve their own welfare, they
desire to show their,,Sympatlty with the objects
of your coming.
Without intending any ungenerous rivalry
of other cities, Philadelphia, gentlemen, as-
Uires to be the manufacturing centre of the
nion. Entertaining no jealousies of the
Bandeur of New York or the elegancies of
oston, Which, On the contrary,BlM reeognizes
with pride and pleasure, and rejoicing in the
'dawning glories of the splendid capitals 10-
ready rising by the lakes and rivers of the
mighty West, she believes that geographi
cally, topographically, and socially, such is in
dicated Its her special destiny ; and that in its
final consummation She must become, in the
numbers of her population and their individm
at as well as aggregate means of prosperity,
enjoyment, and happiness,. foremost among
her sisters of the American continent. I do
not propose, gentlemen, to enter into de
tail on this subject. It is enough for my
present purpose to glance at the fact
that, in tho' connection I have men
tioned, Philadelphia possesses advantages
elsewhere unapproachecl ; that, with climate
conditions eminently faVorable to animal ex
istence, all the materials for the construction
of a great city lie immediately beneath or ad
jacent to the Sell On which she stands; that.
she is surrounded on all sides with agrionl,
tural regions of illimitable extent and inex
haustible fertility; that her communications
with all points, north and south and east and
- west, are direct and easy, both by water and
railway that her wealth, instead of being
concentrated in the hands of a few, is widely
diffused among all classes of producers; that
her working; men are • distinguished for their
shill, their intelligence, their diligence, and
their welt ordered lives; and that besides
these agencies of progress, she has coal and
iron more cous-sbient, and wool. and Cotton
and all the princinal staples of production not
less sonvement, than any other city, not alone
of this country, but of the world.
Looking, as we do, to such a future as that to
which I have adverted—a future already far
PrOjSe,ted into the present—who can doubt that
we accord most heartily with Ole imposes of
your association. You seek to (myelin) and
foster au interest which embraces alike the
farmer, the manufacturer, the mechanic, the
operative, and the merchant, and which neces-
Eartly reacts on all other pursuits and °coupe:
Jiang. In that Specific interest we latn•ely
share, as the income taxes Of some of' the
friends who are near me bear witness ; but we
share much more largely in the collateral ob
jects which your meeting of to-day was in
tended to promote. You believe, gentlemen,
in prOteOtlOn 10 Amdrican industry.
Valise.] So do we. [Aysplisitse.] You intend
to put that belief into such a practical
shape as will secure our markets against
the baleful domination of that insolent
Power which during the last four years has
preyed npon our commerce; outraged our feel
ings, and given aid and comfort to ollr enemies.
[Applause.] So do we. And because you hold
that belief, and because you cherish that in
tention, we strike hands with you •here to
night. [Applause.] We feel that, we are co-
Workers with you in the same righteous cause.
Under all circumstances it Wellld be gratify
ing to meet at the festive board men of yenr
mark and worth, and in this instance the gra
tification is enhanced by the knowledge that
you agree with us hi those paramount princi
ples of public policy on the permanent este
niishment of which, in our judgment, the sue-
CeSa of our city, our State, our Whole nation
inevitably depends. [Applause.] For these
reasons, then—with all our voices, with all out'
minds, with all our hearts—we bid you wel
come, and God speedy [Applause.]
I propose to you, my fellow-citizens, the
health of Mr. Bigelow, and the gentlemen as
sociated with him. fit.pplattse.l
Mr. McMichael caned upon Mr. Bigelow, and
in response, Mr. Hays, the Secretary, re
sponded.

Mr. Hays, F,entetary of the Association,being
called upon, said 1 Mr. Chairman, and gentle
men of Philadelphia: It gave him much, satis
faction, on the part of Mr. Bigelow, to respond
to the generous hospitalities tendered to them
this evening.: Nothing could make them for
get the beautiful city of Philadelphia, the
grand prosperity of that city, and the munifi
cent* displayed here to-eight . Ho eonld
not wonder that tile great lyrist of Phila
delphia had been enabled to play upon
the three instruments—the plow, the loom,
and the anvil—with which he had in
terested and astonished the eguntry. There
is no place at which American enterprise,
genius, and industry was more devel
oped than . at the American Patent Office.
There was no fear amongst any one at Wash
ington of the great results which four years
ago we had set out to accomplish, and, which,
thank God, we had so nobly accomplished
within the past few months.
Mr. Hays' remarks were greeted with much
applause.
Mr. McMichael then arose,
and proposed the
health of the President of the United States,
'which was.drituk by all standing.
Mr. Joseph Pilling% of this city, then offered
the toast: The United states of Ameria, their
manufacturing, commercial, mining, and
other interests—may we always sustain them,
and not allow them to become second to any
in the world.
The President then offered, as a toast, the
heath of our townsman, Ifeety.C. Carey, who
had done more to forward the manufacturing
interests of Pennsylvania than any other man
now living, or of any who had heretofore
lived. The - sentiment was received with an
plause.

Mr. Carey arose: and returned thanks for:
the endorsement Welch had, just been made
of the sentiments he had so long main
'Mined. We had, lust closed a little com
plaint or troulde t which had cost us only
about three OE•four thousand millions. It
bad actually benellted us to the amount. of
twenty millions. It was the only war welch
had ever bematited any party engaging ist it.
For the first time we have tound that Chet*
was really a harmony of interest amoaßst all
the people of; our nation. If we had faited to
show that such was the feet we would have
failed to. chow what the interestA of mar coun

SIR I Your interesting correspondent in yes
terday's Press, writing from "Charleston as it
defiCrlbCS, amongst the ornaments of that
wayward town, the Custom-house littiltling, a
structure unsurpassed in Magnificence by any
other, perhaps, of the kind, in the world.
The reader is struck with a high, yet errone
ous impression of Carolinean munificence,
until he remembers that this prinCelY PB9 of
white marble, supported by a labyrinth of
colonades, had cost our National Treasury, up
to the lath of June, 13611, the neat little sum of
*2,068,570. And as all this was lavished upon
the outside alobb, it will probably require an
other million to finish up the interior. The
whole cost to the public treasury for custom
houses in the four chief marts of the Union,
viz; New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Bal
timore 16 $6,626,400,* or a fraction. wider this
sum. and from these aliilost the entire na
tional revenue flows ; whilst the town. of
Charleston, with alimited commerce, is likely
to have an edifice that shell absorb a sum
equalling the whew Of these. It can do no
harm to remind our Southern brethren ' eVeit
now in their calamity, that they did, in times
past, enjoy the lion's share of the nation's
wealth. M.

SEWARD, STANTON, AND HOLT.—The Chicago
.24publican concludes some fitting comments
upon tbe malignity of Montgomery Blair RA
follows:
The truth is, that during the whole of those
dark and threatening days which attended
the conclusion of the last Democratic Ad
ministration, the republic was saved - by the
elfortS of gamin M, Stanton, JoSeph nolt,
and John A. Dig,' With a courage, a deVl> ,
Lion, a pertinacity, a heroic reSdnition that
never faltered in the midst of appalling
dangers and difficulties, these threeLpatriote
and statesmen were always true. Whether
the duty was to manage the imbecility of a
President whose cold-blooded es mpathieS
were all with treason, or to resist With open
defiance the maddened_ conspirators of the
South, there was never an hone, never a me
went, in which these three faithful Ameri
cans proved recreant to theirgreat historic
trust. To Mr. Stanton especially the grati
tude of the American people Is duo;, but it is
due to them all. The oountiy and the world
will not be held from doing justice to their in
estimable services by the calumnies that
partisan ingenuity can invent, or that indi
vidual malice can hiss abroad.
AS for Mr, Seward, we shall not say a word
in his defence. It IS not necessary, He 11Q
longer stands in the category of those piddle
men whose past actions are to be raked over
to find matter for present impeachment: The
people regard him with peculiar affection, As
sociated in the martyrdom of the late Pres'•
dent Ave all thank God that he km escaped Me
awful blow memberand still remainsmember of tike
executive Government. &Crying his country
with submissive calmness in the' midst of
public calamities, personal injuries, and do
mestic afflictions, all alike without aparallel,
lie can well afford to look with his usual
cheerful indifference upon this last onslaught
of a personal and political foe. The ete,teemext

Col, Cnmpbell's record as a politician wilt
bear examination. Reared in the eahool of
Jackson Democracy, he voted in Itl4 for Polk
and Dallas. In 1518, however, he abandoned
the party which, he had become convinced,
was the champion of slavery extension and
the foe of Pennsylvania's best interests, and
voted for the Ftee.Soll eandiflatea, Van Buren
and Adams. Ms residenee in the South' had
shown him the evils of slavery, and he there
fore gave his vote against the party which
sought its extension. In 1552 he voted
ugam for the Vree.roll nominees, Hale
and Julian, and in 18541 d
