The Fourth
We hear of no general celebration of -the
"glorious' Fourth" being arranged in thin city.
As ,the "City Fathers" never vote a dollar
(aniLvery wisely, too) in the way of extraex
penditure, the celebration, if we are to, have
any, must be gotten up bj individual exer
tions. We are requested to suggest, in the
Mbsence of, any -other demonstration, that a
public meeting . be held in one of our large
bans, where the Declaration of Independence
eau be read, speeches made, etc.
The practice here has been,' from time im
memorial, for the city folk to rush by thou
' Bands to the country, and spend the day in
driving, pic-nicing, eta., while the country
people dock to town, do a large amount of
shopping, visit'the- viriods places of amuse
ment, and after seeing the sights, return
home. All things considered, this is perhaps
aS pleasant a - way of spending the day as any
other. Long, prosy speeches, or indeed, abort,
pithy addressee, have been scarcely tolerable
In any dth of July Audience that weever re
:member seeing, and we are - not in favor of
anything of the kind. Let everybody mile
&rata the\day as gaits his inclinations best,
not' forgetting to . let Young America burn
;plenty of powder, and the day wilt be lively
enough. - •

W___ankingicn Otir,Relief Association.
W° command t+-onc 'readers the following
eitottlae, addressadlo the people of Pennsyl
vania by the Washington City Pennsylvania
Soldiers' .elief 'Association. The Chairman,
D. L. Eaton, Esq.,ia so well and so favorably
known to the citizens. of Allegheny county,
that they will need no farther endorsement of
the AssOeiation '
To TUC PEOPLE or PENNSTIXANIA.—The
Washington City Pon nsy/vanio Soldier,' Relief
Association.—That it may realize the objects
it has in view, appeals to you formaterial aid.
'ln doing so, it is deemed proper that those
objects be publicly declared, and the plan it
has adopted for effecting them briefly die
closed.
The Association proposes to act as an aux
iliary to the agency established here by - the
State for carrying aid, , comfort, and consola
tion to her sick and wounded sons in the
Army of the Republic. The Asiociation in
tends to have at its rooms lists of the names
of Pennsylvanians in the Hospitals here, and,
as far as possible, elsewhere; it' will seek to
apprise the soldier's Emends of his condition ;
it will strive to place'in his hands and about
him those little nameless comforts which no
Government, however paternal,and no Govern
ment'Ageney, however. complete or efficient,
can, or can be expected to procure or dia..
tribute; it wi; I look to:the burial of the dead,
and keep such records, thereof that affection
may find the spot where its treasure is laid ;
it will endeavor to impart at its rooms such
information as may conduce to the great pur
pose in view—the comfort of bur suffering
brothers.
To secure the co-operation of number* in
accomplishing the ends thus generally stated,
the .Association has adopted a' Constitution,
and chosen a board of officers, consisting of a
President, five Vice Presidents, and Executive
Committee of thirteen; and a Finance Com
mittee of seven, a Treasurer, and a Recording
and Corresponding Secretary. •The Recently°
Committee has' appointed a number of subor
dinate Committee*, each with its appropriate
duties. They have also selected a store-keeper
and provided a storn-room. • The Finance
Committee is' enjoined to collect funds and
other supplies, and empowered, to appoint, if
found necessary, subordinate ommittees to
visit you, and In person ask your aid. Con
tributors will send money donations to any
member of the undersigned Finance Commit
tee, or to Jay Cooke d.; Co., Treasurer. But if
your gifts be in clothing or other comforts,
eend them to some member of the Finance
Commiue only. All inquiries relative to sol
diere should be directed to the Corresponding
Secretary.
With entire confidence the Association ap
peals to the loyalty and generosity of a people
who have never shrunk from sacrifice or antler
iog when the country call for them, as now,
in a just and noble cause. God permits us to
live in troublons but heroic times, when jus
tice, mercy, and humanity unite in summon
ing to the discharge of high duties at the ex
pense of personal comfort and selfish consid
erations. Wherever the Christian or the
philanthropist Ems gone forth. from you to this
field of labor among the sick and suffering,
you have followed him lovingly and trustingly
with your means and your blessings... The
knowledge of this, borne to tts on every
breeze, encourages us in this hur appeal. Re
member, it is not money alone we shall need.
Those who cannot give that, csavbeitow some
garment from their wardrobe or some comfort
from their storehouse. Our , appeal is before
you; of the nature of the Ica pones we enter
tain no doubt.
In behalf of the Finance Chmmitte.

Or SCANDINAVIA, Intim the Early Tames of
the NonLanett and ViltlOgs to the Present buy. By
Pruftedor Paul C. Siodiux, of CA` tienthagett. Profess

Professor Sinding, has rendered an accepta
ble service to the public in preparing and pub
lishing the present compact .and comprehen
eine Listory.,of Scandinavia. ;is a single
volume, nut too bulky to be held ja the hand
and rea d with comfort as you saunter along the
garden walk on a summer evening, dr take a
cosy seat by the fireside in Winter, we have a
.very complete general history of the Teeple'
inhabiting the two rieninstilas of Northern
Europe, comprising the Danes, Swedes, Nor
wegians, and others, who either in earlier or
later times linked their names historically
with the Scandinavian Kingdoms. Nor are
the links which - connept these Northern
peoples with the rester Europe either few or
unimportant. The history of Great Britain
recounts successive invasioni of that country
by the Danes, who, under Canute had pre
pared to ford a dynasty for troth kingdoms,
and. unite ngland. and Denmark under one
sovereignty. Later, the Northman, who had
established themselves in a portion of Gaul
and founded a kingdom to which they gave
their own nate., actually re-conquered the
Saxons of England and founded a dynasty
and an aristocracy In that country, whose suc
cessors and representatives are generally sup
posed to rule there till - this day. A still more
interesting connecting link of history may bu
traced, even from these far western shores of
the New World to those boldseamen of Scan
dinavia, in the unequivocal monumental testi
mony which exists to prove the fact, that,
long before Columbia was born, they had
traversed the Atlantic, and dine vered
the groat secret of a western COoll°ollt,
which a vast expanse of waters had for so many
ages hidden from the most adventurous mari
ners of Southern Europe. Bat it is unnsosisary
to trace the great landmarks of Scandinavian
history, with a view .of exhibiting their im
portance. The great napes which poetry and
legend have in their • dim halo-glory trans
mitted to us, as well as those.whose achieve
ments are written on ;the pages of authentic
history, from the daYo of Queen Margaretha
to Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII, all
appear to testify [hats most interesting and
important province attritive t I history is com
prised in the records of the people of Scandin
avia. As a general history of that people and
the country so long inhabited :by them, we are
happy to present the claims of Professor
Sinding's work, as supplying in a satisfactory
manners long-fall want—a suitable text-book
of Scandinavian history, not, merely for oar
schools and colleges, but also for the private
student and the general reader.

NOTES PROM THE CAPITAL. i THE LATEST. NEWS

Correspoudence or the Pittsburgh Garotte.
WASHINGTON, June 25, 1862
PROSPICTS OF ♦ FIGHT.
Everything to -day which we hear from the FROM WASHINGTON.
army before Richmond seems to portend a
fight, and I am of the opinion that before this
reaches you the telegraph will have informed
you of a battle there. I suppose there is no
doubt that Ron. McClellan has been reinforced,
and is as well prepared for' battle as he ever
will be,
.1 accsoN's nonce
There is a general belief that this General,
who, though engaged in a wretched canoe,
shows a talent that commands respeeLboo
been also largely reinforced, and lurks hbont
the mountain ranges, in the vicinity of Lnray
or Harrisonburg, waiting to make a new
pounce. Those who ought to know say that
the report is without good foundation, and
that it has been industriously circulated in
order to prevent the sending of forces to Mc-
Clellan. It is not probable that it will prove
entirely successful, though I have no idea
that Fremont or Banks will be left in a con
dition to dread their foe. Stirring news from
the Shenandoah Valley may be looked for at
any time and all the time.
The Committee on the Conduct of the War
have been considering the subject of the care
with which the property of rebels, in arms
against the Government, is looked after by
our,Commanders. It is alleged that our sol
diers under McDowell were subjected, by that
General, to all sorts of discomforts, and often
made to suffer severe punishments for appro
priating little articles of comfort which they
needed. It is even declared that, on tho late
futile marches of that General in his search fur
Jackson, that forage collected by the wash,
and in their store houses in our possession,
was forbidden to our cavalry. This being
true,it shows certainly -a becoming regard
- for t he scripture injunction to return good for
evil. It was but a week beforelhe unsuectiss
hal hunt for Jackson that those people were
spitting upon our soldiers, shouting them
from their windows, tlinginivitriel and scald
ing water on their beads, and exercising .
other brutle acts, full of that beauty and
kindliness which marks secession womanhood.
The public Fe aware that Mrs. Lee, of White
House, 'was, but a few days before Stewart's
raid upon Tunetall's Station, escorted by •
body of Union cavalry up to the rebel lines,
where she was received by the swish, and bore
her budget of news, which doubtless informed
them that the coast . was clear, and that any
scheme of destruction in that direction would
be'unmolestedly carried out. All the while
this mansion was guarded by men who had
enlisted to fight the enemies of the country,
and not to stand guard over their forfeited
property. 1 have it from the best authority
that there is nothing the men endure with less
patience than the dull and hateful routine of
duty by which they are compelled to stand
guard over the pig-styes, hen-coops and sheep
folds of men whose every act and energy is
bent upon destroying the country and the very
men who are thus wittching in torrid min and
drenching rain. It is, however, a comfort to
know that, as far at least as White Mouse is
concerned, there Is no longer a limning sword
at its portals. The President bas opened it
fur its legitimate uses. It is now a hospital,
although the correspondence in--reference to
the removal of its guards and its present uses
it was not deemed compatible with the public
interests to publish.
This bill, so long in the bands of Congress,
passed the House Wduy. As it came Crow
tlio - "Juminittee of Conference, it was called up
by the Chairman of the Ways and Meaux and
put at ono° arm, its passage. A desire was
expressed by one mortal to have it taken up
item by item, but the previous question was
called, and the door for debate closed up.
The amiable peace Democracy, the lamb-like
and lovely disciples of Five Points Christian
ity, voted nay.
=MU
A debate, iutiircrag to your readers, at
Mug, took place in the Senate un Saturday,
in which donator Cowan did hicueelf great
credit. It was in regard to a bridge across
the Ohio, in the vicinity of Steubenville. Ac
the bill was read originally, and bad passed
the House, it was - to have an unobstructed
headway in the channel of the river of not
less than ninety feet above low water : mark,
anti a width between the piers of not less
tan two hundred fact. Afterwards a sort of
agreement was entered into between those
representing the railway • here and those
in the upper river trade, that the
space between the piers should be no feel, but
Mr. Cowan wade sit able speech in favor of
300 feet, and socceeded in getting the bill re
comthitted to the Committee on Post Roads.
The Board of Trade of Pittsburgh, and a large
number of her leading merchants, petitioned
in favor -of this bridge, with a space of piers,
as parsed the House. This they Inuit have
done without a full knowledge of the fact.,
fur they subsequently changed their views,
and petitioned on the other side. A memorial
was read in the Senate by Mr. Cowan, gigue
by Messrs. Berner, Alctirew, Watson, Bohr
man and Smith, which asked for five or Biz
hundred feet between piers. I suppose that
such a space will be adoptml,as will harmonize
to a great extent the views of both sides. I
believe the bill passed the lions* without de
termined opposition by either of our members,
because they acted under the first instructions,
or were moved by the that memorials of the
merchants and Board of Trade of Pittsburgh.
The bill Is general in its character, and will
not only cover the Steubenville, but any num
ber of bridges along the whole course of the
Ohio river.
Thif Association formed here, which you have
already called attention to, le proceeding very
favorably. The organization is now no nearly
perfected that partial reports are already be
fore it from all the hospitals in and around
Washington. Fonds flow in from all the peo
ple of the State to whom the eziatence of the
ASsociation is known, so that about $1,600
are now available. But already the need of
its efforts is manifesting itself in facts. Al
ready the Association has been enabled to do
some good, and once fairly upon the road, I
have no doubt much will be effected. I send
you the address of the Finance Cominittee,
endorsed by all the officers of the Association,
which I trust yen will publish and direct at
tention to. Undoubtedly Pittsburgh will as
sist in this good work with her money and
her sympathy.

Special 11,1epatch to the Pittsburgh GeZetle.]
WASHINGTON, Juno 25, 1862
EDWARD EVERETT AND MAJOR OE!. POPE
Edward Everett and Major General Pope
together visited both Houses of Congress to
day. Gen. Pope was received with ' , marked
distinction. A large number of the members
crowded around him after his introduction.
Secretary Seward come in while they were
there and introduced Count. Mercier and the
Danish Minister to Gen. Pope. Washingto
nians who have been accustomed to see brass
buttons and enormous shoulder-straps and a
huge routine° of staff officers as the only evi
dences of strategy, and general Napoleonic
abilities, were astonished at General Pope's
unostentatious appearance and plain citizens'
clothes. Gen. Pope was received with special
consideration and cordiality by Seorstary
Stanton. In fact, everybody.was anxious to
do bim honor as a successful fighting General.
He tells the Wephingtonians, practically,
that in the West, Gen. Buell will not find
over 10,000•rebol soldiers in ;ii gut. Tennes
see, and that the stories recently telegraphed
from Halleck about 81,000 at °ketone, or any
where else in tho West, are discredited.
THE PRISSIDINT'S VISIT TO WEST POINT
Tho President's visit to Gen. Scott, at
West point, is supposed to betoken military
complications of more than usual Importance.
It is stated that Gen. Scott is sick, and the
visit Was merely on this account, but this ex
planation is not generally believed.
GaN. POPS IN WASHINGTON
Gan. Pope has not yet been advised of what
the President and Secretary Stanton want him
here for, but it seems pretty well understood
that he is to receive a highly important com
mand here or hereabouts.
MIMS OP THU LOBBY DRLUILTIO3
Heavy lobby delegations are here about the
new tariff. The effects of their influence be
came evident in the House to-day, where the
whole day war spent on,amendixeuts, few of
of which are of general interest.
A varioty.of changes was made in the tariff
on drugs, hariron, plates for inolinad planes,
made, one dollar and fifty cents per ton, crude
saltpetre, two cents per pound: refined, three
mots, ground chicory, fire cents, root, four
cents par pound, unclaimed rice, three.fourths
cents.
Mr. Lovejoy-Mien/Pled to introduce ri;:esolu
tion on inquiry into the expediency of a bill
imposing a tax on banks fur their notes in cir
culation, but objections were made in addition
to. the tariff repeals of all lawn levying imposts
on imparted. rage fur making paper.
HICHUOND To 86 ISSIOICG6o
The conviction is becoming special that
operations before Richmond are beginning to
lissutne the nature of a siege, and there is no
immediate probability of ► battle.
The White !louse imbroglio io still utmot

The matter will come up in Congress, if not
settled.

Bout. spicy icissassages in the Senate debate
on confiscation wore presented. Str. Brown
ing delivered himself of a set speech against
confiscation of any sort, the only significance
of which, was that he has come in some way
to be regarded as speaking for the ProsidenL.
A little episode with Sumner brought out the
broad declaration that Congress has no power
in time of war, beyond what it has in time of
peace.
Mr. Dixon; who recently gained a re-aloc
lion by profeamions of radienliddu, followed in
the name track.
Mr. (tale made a pithy protest against am
tendency of their doctrines, and Ben. Wade
walked into them rough shod, stirring up
quite a commotion, and leading to no end of
Mr. Wade produced a sensation by reading
an order from Gen. McDowell, requiring a
special protection of toe' property of notorious
rebate near Fredericksburg, even though it
required the. stationing of sentry, at every
fence corner around his farm to du it.
Mr. Sumner is expected to speak again on
Confiscation, and the debate may be pro
tracted.
M r. Trumbull has reported back the Bauk

such a law this session are becoming doubtful.

Some persons recently from * *Khanna's

the beginning of a battle. Better opinions
seem to betoken it as only an advance of the

fight, however, the battle may come any day,
and Adjutant Gen. Thomas opposes allowing
the Fifth Ohio to returir to Camp Dennison.

Gen. Butler's Female Proclamation
Condemned in England.
[Special Divatch to the Plinio:we! Gazette.]•
POILADIMPHIA, May 25.—The President's
visit to West Point caused great speculation
in New York. The Poat says the taet that
Gen. Scott Is at West Point suggests that he
is to be consulted on military matters ; and
the Genmerciat also thinks the visit Is con
nected with the war movement.
In the British Parliament, as we learn by

Sir G. C. Lewis allcondemned Gen. Butler's

Senator from Maisashusetts, Mr. Sumner,

destroy all unity, and overthrow the Consti

or English law, and cannot Le binding un
as they are not in any way bound by the pro
visions of the Constitution. If we have the
power to pass a:Confiscation bill, alit power
must be derived fruit the Canstitut lon. The

Camp Lin c oln.:
This is the Atime Which' 'has been:giyetz,
by. General Orders, to the encanipmeat. of
General McClellan's army befoiti Bich;
mond. A letter says:
This is, perhaps, the grandest encamp-.
meat ever filled by an armj—from Ash
land to the James river—thenfe to York-.
town—thence to White House, And thence
across to Ashland, enclosing a space of five
hundred square miles within
,its bounda
ries, and it is the best appointed and dis
ciplined army ever organized sincr•wars
and rebellions began. Cainp,WinAeld Seett
was pitched before Yorktown, and.saw it
evacuated; Camp Lincoln will not • only
witness the fall of Rialmond, but will be
the last grand encampment required to
force the Seceders back into the Union.
The name is well emu. No. man 'ehould
be honored wore than he whose firmness
and honesty united the whole mass of. the
country in an effort to put down the rebel
lion, and whose course, now that. he has
been in office for a third of his term, is
as just and as popular as it was when hi
entered. And immortality is given.to: hid
name when borne by the camp .whose sol
diers are. so soon to capture Richmond.
From Cathp Lincoln I Write you these lines,
and am as - proud that' "'Honest Old Abe "-
gives-it a name as if 1 were sire-tut/An t4e

SPECIAL NOTICES.

that after all the care bestowed upon the pre;
paration of the tax bill in Congress, that the
iron interests of tide State haveleen serious
ly damaged. This will be bad news for our

all who intend visiting Washington City to
look after their interests in the 'matter, to be
sure and gall on J. L. Carnaghati, merchant
tailor and `clothier, Federal street, near the
Diamond, Allegheny city; and procure a snit
of his unrivalled summer clothing. Let all
