War Claims and Claims for Indemnity.
STEWART, STEVENS, CLARK & CO-,
Attorneys and Counsellors-at-Lazo, and Solicitors
for an kinds of Military Claims,
450 PENNbYLYANIA AVENUE,
WASHINGTON, D. C.
This lirm, having a thorough knowledge of the Pen
sion Badness, and being familiar with the practice in
all the Departments of Government, believe that they
can afford greaser facilities to Pension, Bounty, and
other Claimants, for the prompt and successful accom
plishment of business entrusted to them, then any other
ar.lll in Washington. They desire to secure such an
amount of this business as will enable them to execute
the business for each claimant very cheaply, and on the
basis of their pay contingent upon their success in each
case. For this purpose they will secure the services of
Law /grins in each proniiiient locality throughout the
States where such business may be had, furnish, such
with all the necessary blank forms of application and
evidence, requisite printed pamphlet instructions, and
circulars for distribution in their vicinity. with esso•
dates names inserted, and upon the due execution of
the papers and transmission of the same to them by
their local associates, they will promptly perform the
business here.
Lig — Their charges will be tea dollars for officer a and
Ave dollars for privates, for each Pension or Bounty and
Back Pay obtained, and ten per cent. on amount of
Olaims for Military Supplies or Claims fo , indemnity
Soldiers enlisted since the Ist of March, 1861, in
any kind of service, Military or Naval, who are disabled
by disease Or wounds, are entitled to Pensions. All
soldiers who serve for two years or during the war,
should it sooner close. will be entitled to $lOO Bounty.
Widows or soldiers who die or are billed, are entitled to
Pensions, and the $lOO Bounty If there be no widow,
then the minor children. And if no minor children,
thee the father, mother, sisters or brothers are anti
ad as above to the $lOO Bounty and Back Pay.

LETTER FROM LONDON.
THE WAR NEWS-BRITISH VOLUNTEER
ORGANIZATIONS-THE DRAMA-CHAS.
KEENE-FECHTER--A SCANDAL CASE
BETWEEN AMERICAN ACTORS-DOWN
IN THE LONDON DOUR VAULTS, ETC.
Correspondence of the Patriot and Union
LONDON, May 16th. 1863.
The War NEWS- 6, Manhattan," etc.—w. Cor
nell Jewett—British Volunteer System.
To-morrow or Monday we expect to receive
news of the result of the Rappahannook battle.
People are speculating as to the possible event,
with thrilling interest. It is not commonly
believed that the Federal arms will be success
ful; but with John Bull this thought is proba
bly fathered by the wish. We hope and
fear all thiega, are holding down our hearts,
though they beat low of late; and if disaster
happen we can only do as we have had to do
before—receive the coarse taunts of our con.
sins here and pray God not to ruin us utterly.
Little has been said, within a month, of the
issue across the Atlantic. The letter writers
from the other side, some of whom are Ameri
cans, continue to forward their columns of
lies The worst of this class -is one Scovill e a
New Yorker, and formerly a proprietor of the
comic Picayune. He writes the papers upon
the •' Oid Merchants" in the Leader, New York
city, and wrote also the scurrilous letter in the
New York Gerald, published some years ago,
above the signatueseof " ?he Nan what Nomi
nated Frank Pierce." Soovill is the corres
pondent of the Loudon Standard, (Tory,) where
Ids fulminations appear over the name of
"Manhattan." They are disgraceful things,
and I mention them to show that it is not sim
ply the Russells and Mackays who do us
wrong, but our own renegade oountrym3n,
who are willing, for a few ignominious shil
lings, to dishonor the fame of their land and
its rulers. A good book upon America has
recently appeared on this side from the pen of
Edward Dicey, a very able literary gentleman,
who went to the war as the accredited dale•
gate of MacMillan's Magazine. It gives fair
views of our manners, sentiment and institu
tions, and has gone through several editions
already. Books, in general, are more justly
criticised here than in America. The same
remark applies'to matters of art. A painting
of tolerable merit will always be recognized
and applauded by the reviews, while the undue
influences which with us secure praise to pal
try things, do not operate here to so great a
degree. Many young American artists now
.threll in London, and. some of them do well.
They have come away from our republic to
avoid the war. The Arts are cosmopolitans,
and they are frightened by gunpowder. Among
the late American arrivals is that of Wm. Cor
nell Jewett, a "traveler," whose mission is a
a self-imposed one, and directed to eccurlog
mediation by European powers. Jewett was
formerly an auctioneer in New York and Chi
cage, and he has been concerned in some ques
tionable speculations. I think him liable to
moon influences, though he is a good sort of
fellow to know. Judge of my astonishment to
find him, one night last week, on the floor of
the House of Peers, enlightening a crowd of
dukes and earls upon the condition of trans-
Atlantic matters. This war has taught John
Bull some measures of note, particularly with
reference to volunteer troops. He hae.perfen
ted a fine volunteer system—better, I think,
than our three months' system, and in some
respects better than our volunteer organization
to-day. Every parliamentary borough has its
corps of armed volunteers, and they are very
well equipped and instructed. United, they
make a large defensive army, and the best
families furnish tikelr members, while noble
men command. A few nights ago I was going
down the Thames, when I looked ashore at
Temple Gardens. The barristers and solidi.
tors and the young limbs of the law, were
going through their masceuvres in first class
style, and with as much enthusiasm as could
be exhibited in time of invasion. Now, these
fellows have been drilling in the same way for
six years, and they should, in the due course
of things, be capital soldiers now.
The Drama—The London Theatres—The Play-
writers—A Scandal
The War is so old a story that it is quite a
relief, at' this point, to drop it for t some plea
muter theme. Let it be the drama. Your
readers probably imagine that the London thea•
tree are very ornate and colossal—far superior,
in fact, to anything that we have in the West.
On the contrary. the theatres of the Empire
City are in every respect better than these.—
The two largest theatres here are Covent Gar
den and Drury Lane, hut neither of them pay
the interest of the money invested In them ;
the former is used for opera only, and the lat
ter is elected half the time. They are only a
stone's throw apart, and they are both large,
though Covent Garden has somewhat the ad
vantage. They are both famous for their
Christmas pantomimes, and that is the only
time of the year when it will pay to attend them.
The Haymarket is a dingy, cooped-up affair,
famous of late for playing a bad version of the
"American Cousin." Buokstone, the play
wright, is its lessee, and in so far as 2 can judge
him, he is a stupid comedian. His Asa Trench
ard was an anodyne which worked to a charm
upon me three times. The three theatres
which rank highest, are the Adelphi, the Ly
ceum, and the Princesses. The former has a
good stock company, two of its comedians being
particularly clever: Paul Bedford and J. L.
Toole. But it is a pigeon-boft. and I am so
reminded, when I stop there, of a hackney cab,
that I imagine myself rolling down the strand
and mistake the orchestra leader for the driver.
The Lyceum theatre is now controlled by
Charles Pechter, whose advent in the part of
PRICE TWO CENTS
Hamlet, two years ago, gave him a reputation
in both continents. Pechter is a Pret:lllmm,
and he is essentially an innovator. How he
overcame the traditional scruples of John Bull
with regard to the treatment of Shakspeare, is
a mystery to me. The obstinacy of the natives
in this respect, is however, the best eulogy
upon his genius ; for he is thoroughly domes
ticated here, and has changed the name of the
Lyceum to that. of the Prince of Wake theatre:
John Brougham is a permanent member of his
stook company, and an adaptation of a French
play called the "Duke's Motto," made by John
Brougham, has had a run of a hundred nights,
Pechter sustaining the principal part.
Charles Keene has just finished a farewell
engagement of eleven nights at the Princesses.
This is a pent-up place on Oxford street, re
mote from the other theatres. I saw this best
of English tragediaas play in the part of Louis
XI. He is a small man, with an expressive
face, and his rendition was noted for its easy,
subdued scholarly diction-so different from the
current style of delineators—and the calmness
and consistency of his manner. Keene is n
hard student, and he stands at the head of hip
profession.' Hie wife—whilom Miss Ellen Tree
—has grown stout and coarse. and she has lost
the power which formerly distinguished her.
So far as - I am able to see, New York iia het ter
place for dramatic people than London. Their
salaries are higher and their social rank is bet
ter. Slim the death of Knowles, there is
scarcely a dramatic writer of note in England.
Old' Dean Milman,.of St. Paul's, the author of
Fazio, still exists, and Toni Taylor and Bondi
cault are here. Henry J. Byron, a fair writer
of burlesques, is more prolific than ever, and
there is a elan of hungry fellows who seize
upon the new novels and make "Spectacles" of
them. Boncicault has leased Astley's old horse
show, across Westminster bridge, and goes to
law with all sorts of people, as he used to do
in New York. His last appearance in legal
roles resulted from his intimacy with Mre.
George Jordon, an American actress, Whose
hueltand, George Jordon, was driven out of
New York for his connection with the New Or
leans "Cocktail Guard," a rebel organization.
Jordon and lady separated, and Boticicault and
wife, it is rumored, will follow suit. Both
Boncicault stud Jordon are licentious, false
hearted, and otherwise reprehensible.
Down in the London Dock Vault*:
The latest domestic intelligence from this
side is the reduction of spirit and tobacco du
ties. The other day, in the prosecution of some
inquiries, I visited the Annum London docks,
where most of the wines entering Great Britain
and the United States are stored. The Thames,
you know, is only a large sort of canal, and
the shipping of London would stick fast in its
slime 4. if all craft were anchored in the stream.
Therefore bread, artificial estuaries are opened
inland, and ships are floated through looks into
them. These docks are controlled and owned
by companies, and they are very spacious and
coetly. --- Ttre London - dooktratene coal upwards
of eleven millions of dollars and enclose sev;
enty one acres of land and water. Fiver hun
dred of the largest siztd vessels can barber in
them at onetime, and twelve hundred houses
were obliged to be pulled down to construct
them. The tobacco and wine ships which dis
charge their cargoes here may place them in
spacious receptacles. The tobacco warehouse
alone covers five acres and contains twenty-four
thousand hogsheads. The wine vaults are im
mense excavations, undeground, capable of
containing twenty five thousand pipes of wine.
To visit them it is necessary to obtain what is
called a tasting order from a wine merchant-,
which is simply a card, authorizing the cooper
of a certain vault to tap a cask or more of a
certain kind of wine and give you as much as
you like to drink. Our party was presented
with due informality to the cooper—a short
set. man, wearing a leather apron and when
he had ticketed us in a great book, he told
"Joe" to get lights for the gentlemen. To this
gt. Toe" responded by producing a number of
small, pyrimidical oil-lamps, fastened to the
end of ferules, and the cooper told us to march
down a dark aisle, between hecatombs of casks,
which seemed to lead nowhere.
"Stoop, gentlemen," said the cooper, "you
are now entering the 'waults.' That is Wapping
running over your heads. One of our party
here got a whapping for not minding his eye,and
he struck his head against a low archiay, pro.
clueing a severe contusion which caused him
to see several thousand oil lamps. When we
passed under Wapping safely, we beheld one of
the most grisly scenes which the present writer
has had the honor to record. An immense
hall, or passage, stretched to the right and the
left of us, exhibiting &perspective of dim lan
terns,whose tapers streamed upon innumerable
casks of wine, piled one above the other from
the sandy floor to the groined ceiling, and
at a glance we could see thousands of them,
battalioned like as many bulging coffins,
their faces turned out, and the chalk marks
and bung holes in their heads resembling so
many mysterious eyes and noses. • Imagine the
Mammoth cave—black, unfathomable, myste
rious—filled with an infinity of hogshealls.—
Imagine for the dripping stalactites which bur
nish its roof, a hanging mass of fungus, the
aggregations of a half century of wine fumes,
ascending perpetually. The columns which
sustain these enormous vaults also resemble
the stalagmite pillars of the great cave, and
when you wave your torch—to the great detri
ment of your companions' coat collars—the
couurlees alche,s leap into life, and become
peopled with shadowy and grotesque things.
Down some of the inferior or radiating passa
ges will come two stolid slaves, wheeling heavy
puncheons of the juice. As they pass you, the
wine beats against the staves, as waves ripple
under your bulwarks at sea, or, more percept.;
ibly, as if it would like to wreck you._ You
walk a half mile underground in this way, till
the cooper comes to the mooted casks, when
be solemnly pauses and sets down his lamp.
He drives a gimblet into the head, and cud.

MAI. GEN. WM. B. rßA.virbrN FOR
GOVERNOR OF PENNaYLVANIA.
From the York AL z.tte
We take pleasure in laying before our read
ers the following commanioatiou received too
late ti our paper on Ttliesd.iy last, from one
of outmost highly esteemed fellow citizens.
In presenting it to the public, we cannot re
frain from ad•ling our hearty approval of every
word that is said of the g Chant and heroic
soldier filmed by our correspondent for the
Gubernatorial chair. Gen. William B. Frank
lin is a native of York, and is at the present
time a resident of thie borough. He was ap
pointed to West Point from this Congressional
district, and the high honors be won at our
National military wheel, and since he entered.:
the army, occasioned much unaffected pride in
the hearts of hundreds. of our citizens. He ie
a gentleman of unblimiehed character, a sol
dier of unquestioned ability, a citizen of the
most thorough loyalty, and a Constitutional
Democrat of the strictest and straightest
school. Here,, where he is known and loved,
we honor his name and retpeoc big many vir
tues. His nomduation, by the Democratic-State
Convention, would be the sure harbinger of
success in October. His election would secure
to the Commonwealth an-honest, and faithful
Chief Magistrate, one who would protect the
rights of She citizen and the rights, of the
States, and who would use all his cgirts to
maintain the Constitution as it is and restore
the Union as it was. It is therefore with plea
sure that we present the name of General
Franklin. of this county, to the Domnerley of
Pennsylvania, as the choice of D •mo.
cratic York," for the next Governor of Penn
sylvania!
To the Editors of the York Gazette •:
GENTLEMEN :—I am so deeply impressed
with the importance of the approaching poli
tical campaign in Pennsyliitaia, that I am
tempted to beg you to susiiend the rule against
reference by name to candidates whica, as you
informed me verbally, you had ad •pted for
your guidance pending the contest for the gn.
bernatorial nomination. 1 believe, with you,
that upon the success a the Democratic party
in this State, at the election in October next,
depends the fate of our country—and, so be- ,
lieving, I cannot divest mygelf of a conscious
ness of the awful responsibility resting upon
every Democrat who feels, or believes, that he
Can do something, anythitte, of what:ever force
ay weight, Whether of great moment or of com
parative unimportance, to promote that great
end.
Messrs. E Hums, I believe that. the masses of
the people of Penney Ivania are far ahead of
politicians in awl., intewie cipair•t to secure
the election of a D•monratio Governor. They
feel keenly the absolute necessity of such a,
result. And those who p,rto in this feel
leg are so overwhelmingly in the majority that
they will accomplish this first wish of the heart
of PerinSylvsnia, if tee Demicratic party pre
sent to them such a candidate »g the- p e ople
