not eomo here in response tpihat Wlegraphio
dispatch; and further, whether he-was not
deceived *in reference to what had happened,
until within a few days before he. made the
information before the Mayor. The object
was to explain to tho Jury why it was that
no proseoatibn had been instituted from the.
time the offense was committed, in August,
until the following I March—tho prosecutrix
having been advised by her friends to with*
hold tbislnfoimation from him, fearful that
he would take summary vengeance on the do*
fondant. j
•The Court overruled the offer, the evidonce
being deemed inadzh is sable.
The witness was then dismissed from the

I am the mother df Clara Blancho Naylor;
resided in Washington, in 1861; Claim was
sixteen, on the 16th|of Jane, iBll., The city
was threatened by the rebels, in April, 1861,
and the girls then sent to Philadelphia,
where they remained until July, wheu they
visited Pittsburgh, j I pelt saw Clare on her
return to Washington. About two weeks after
her return. Hiding her very ill, I tobk her to
Philadelphia,i where she remained dntil the
birth of her ehild.
, Mr. 6 wartxwelderi thoa interrogated the
witness as to the telegraphic dispstob, and
also in reference to the absenoe of Mr. Stan*
ton, bnt the witness was not permitted to an
swer. He than remarked that Mr. Stanton
was * paymaster tn Hhe army, and had been
written end telegraphed to. He might be bore
before tho trial ended.
Mr. S wart sar elder then proposed to ask the
mother of the girl whether aho was not then
going to school, and whether she had been
permitted to mingle in society. The offer woe
mads, that tha juryimlght infer the amount
of her experience—wbether'sho was unsophis

The Court ruled the evidence ont, remark
ing that the feet of her going to school would

something to her. George then eat down, and
theslnging, which had been interrupted by
their coming, was renewed—Miss Blanche
joining in the singing. There was no change
in her manner or in her dress that I notioed.
I remained half an houir longer, and left
George and the ladies there. Next saw her
on the following -Monday evening, with the
other girls. [The witness then detailed the

George was still there. [After some questions
In reference to the sue and weight of the de

• Pennsylvania Soldiers in Tan-
The oommittee from the Subsistence Com
mittee, consisting of Rev. B. HUI, Georgo
Woyman, Sr., William W. Young, and Geo.
McClure, started for Nashville yesterday, on
the neon train. They took with them a car
load of stores, of all kinds for tho use of the
siok and wounded of our soldiers. .They in
tend going dirootly to tho soone of the last
battle, and distributing the things l * per
sonally, so aa to avoid any possibility ;cf any
part of them being misapplied.' From the
well known charaoter of the gentlbmoh loom
posing the Committee, we are assured that
nothing will be left undone that can Undone,
for the benefft and comfort of our noble sol
diers.
We are Informed by the Oommittee ts»t the
amount of stores seat in to tho hall yeg&rday
exceeded their almost expectations, aim in
deed It was a sight that made os feol i&ood,
to see the crowds of persons in the hai&eaoh
one bringing something. We noticjjfo ooe
quite old lady, going up to ! cno of thsVCom
mittee, and handing him a fifty-cottt.'-note,
said, “that was every oent she had&b tha
world, but she must give it to the sol
diers.” The contributions consisted
that would be of use in the boraSfal—
such as clothing, preserved. fruits, li
quors, farina, tea,-sugar, «fco., Ac. SCO
cabs of alonewcro sent in. Oo«[*f our
mijit generoqi merchants in Fifth atrvyi sent
a package containing 300 pairs of tfj&endid
wc-olen socks and a large number of ?.s©olen
shirts. We Would respectfully at
tention of our merchants to this, as f&thiog
is more seoded than artiolos of this kia<k The
Bdonomites, with that liberality thfc&have
always characterised them, sent up onebarrol
of whisky, one barrel of wico and $5O liScash.
We were considerably surprised in idbking
over the list of contributions to too tit very
few of the names of our wealthier merchants
and citizens—persons whom we supposed
would hare been the first in contributing to
so worthy a cause.
We almost neglected to montion that over
$6OO in cfsh was contributed, over $3OO of
which was left at the Hall in sums of $35 to
50 cents. The Committee will be at the Hall
on Monday afternoon*to rooeive farther con
tributions as they want to send off another
lot of stores: on Tuesday. Let the response
of onr clUxans be generous, and let eaeh one
contribute something to so oommendable an
undertaking. j

A running debate was oontinued on bonsti

in innumerable telling hits and happy repar

In his. usual health, and yesterday had dis

bedclothes about him, and before jthe ink on
the last sentence he had written iji his diary

Tho funeral services will take plaoe to-morrow

Colonel W. Bel], of the 13tb Illinois caval

to-day, been honorably reinstated jn bis com

The now assignment of ohiof Quartermas

Among those thus assigned these pro

ifOBB LEGAL TESOSI JCOTEB.
The Ways and Means Committee have de
cided on the issue of more legal tenders, and
against nearly every specific flnanoial recom
tueudation'of Chase’s report. This bill pro
vides for threo hundred million legal tenders,
equal In amount to the three years &’s and
forty-seven hundreth’s per cent. Treasury
notes, and nine hundred million twenty years
6 per cent. loan. It so prorides, as we have
heretofore indicated, for a tax on the bond cir
culation. This result will prove a severe dis
appointment to Chase and his friends, for his
finasoial theories, among whoa must be reck
oned ex-Seeretary of the Treaeury, Robert J.
Walker, who has just been preparing an elabo
rate argument favoring Chase’s plans.
Apr A IBS IV COVQBEB3,
The Senate has not confirmed Mr. Usher as
Secretary of the Interior. It Is whispered
that there has been considerable opposition
to tho confirmation manifested by the Sena

to confirm it Are haraly thought probable.
Mr. Colfax’s bill extending tbe limitation
of mailable matter so as to permit the trans
mission of small packages to soldiers at the
discretion*uf tbe Postmaster General, sub
stantially passed the House once before, but
was defeated;in the Senate. Tbe Western

are the parties to whom they want to address

your body, with a full wnao.of the many dlf
flaaltiee and hwivy responsibilities attending
tho position. I pledge to you, one and all,
my firm detamiuatloa to perform theic duties
with strict impartiality, according to tho
utmost of my ability. Without your, aid add
cordial and gonarpa* forbearance and assist
ance, success with mo will be impossible. -
These X earnestly invite at your hands. May
I not eonfidently’expreoi the hope and belief
that In the discharge of opr several duties, ail .
fsrHonal and political differences. will be
dried,:and that all wilt be an
honest ddtermination to promote the welfare
and prdspority'of our noble State, and to up*
’ i hold the Constitution and restore the anion
of onr beloved country, now.distreoted by the
unjust but disastrous civil war.
I Thd leation of the Legislature now about
to eomxbenee, may, And probably will be, one
of thd most important ever Resembled in this
State. The eyes of our constituent* and of
i tfaewhole nation will bo npon us. Pennsyl-
Wania contains within herself all the resource*
mf a great and powerfal nation. Sho ts to*
nay almost equal in population, and in ail the 4
elements of strength to the whole nation in
the days of its infancy, Tho oonserratism
and patriotism of ourpeople hare at all times
had an important and controlling influence in
moulding tho public sentiment of oar nation.
May we not reasonably hope that in this hoar
« our trouble end national peril,_ihe conser
vative views of ourpabple, sostalnod and sup
ported iby the wise and patrietio action of
these representatives may go far to allay and
ijevulso'tbe wild fanaticism of all the extrem
ist* and restore to thb country its former con
dition of peace, prosperity and national gran
deur. While we are justly proudof our State,
of her power ’ and greatness, let us not furget
that all these depend upon her connection ,
/with tho Fade?*! union. __ The destruction of
Ithe latter would sooner'or later prove the
overthrow ef the former. The true greatness
and prosperity of Pennsylvania'can only be
scoured and preserved while'onr whole Union
remains and we continue to exist as one peo
ple, with one Government, one Constitution,
and one set of laws.
I sincerely trust that in our associations
and deliberations, daring the coming session,
those friendly and kindly loelings which
should prevail among gentlemen will be so far
observed'that*when we pomoto separate, we,
mar look back upon' our-pastloanue.withont
a single regret; when we return to onr consti
tuents may we be gratified with their hoarty
endorsement : of onr official conduct, and in
thefutnrejmay It havo ihe'approvsl of onr
own sonsciences and : judgments. Above aU,
may on* legislation be ; sdohasto aid essen
tially, in allaying the angry passions which
now. swell the bosom of'cur nation, and in up
holding aud r oheerlng the patriot hosts who
have gone forth to snstaih' tho Government of
our father* until our gloridns old Union shalT
be spebdlly and peraauenUy restored, our
whole country once more peaceful and power
ful, and.the flag of and united
people again brighten" oof skies from one ex
tremity of the continent' to the other. B, .
