FRIDAY YORNINV,
elf AND 1011111-117:-
spring
Now is the time for our merchants to
advertise their spring business andiet tee
pablic know what they have and whdre they
can be found. Half the sum paid to
drummers, judiciously expended in adver
tising, will brincin a far more 8;16.9111i:tory
.return, as a trial will amply prove. The
Post, now largely increasing in Circulation,
offers peculiar advantages to the advertiser,
as it is read by a class, (mid a large one.)
in the city which cannot be reached by
any other paper published la-re, while its
circulation abroad is most t nlanble to whole
sale dealers. manufacturers and others.
Our paper presents a fine typographical ap
pearance, everything being legible and
distinct. Advertisement s with which we
are favored will be neatly displayed, to the
hest advantage, and our termaare so mod
erate that they come within the capacity
of all. Let no man hold liack by reason of
expense—it is better to borrow money to
oay for advertisingtha n to ho behind neigh-
Lors who always keep before the public.
01/leers' II T isiforms.
It is stated that a change is contemplated
in the style of uniforms now worn by our
officers. Among the officers of the regu
lar army the proposed change meets with
much opposition, but it does not attract so
much attention among the volunteers. A
strong objection to the action of the Board
is in not allowing each army corps to ar
range its own uniform. As the recom
-I.l4iendation of the Board have to be passed I
.upon by the Secretary of War it is possi-;
;ble that none of them will be adopted. It
s eildent, however, from the agitation of
the sal feet, that seine essential changes in
%uniform will soon be made. Many urgo
that the
_present style of officers' dress has
too much tinsel and glitter about it, while
others would make it still more showy
but the Board bit.: the matter in hands
! tow, and doubtless if they order a change,
it 1."1.11 be made for the best.
prof: Ander/hem at Concert Hall.
The stay' of Prof. Anderson, the Wizard
of the North, and his family, in our city,
is drawing to ge, close. It has been a most
Ilrofitable one for them; as
daring the first week Concert Hall was
- a n d , ' ven now, when it might
. be supposed that the Pittsburgh public had
enough of Magic, the a'udiences are fairly
remunerative. The tricks are skilfully ,
perforated and the public ,effectually de
ceived; which is the great tebl of success I
with all conjurors. The wonder.rul rope
tling.of young Anderson and the a.ecood
sight of Miss Anderson have a,strocterl
much attention, completely mystifying All.
The PrOfessor is not only a good artiste , in
his line, but understands the science of ad-1
vex:tieing thoroughly, which may account,
ifiqat, for his success. That he deserves
a liberal patronage-the public have decided
and should he ever return we predict for
him brilliantsuccesses. To-night the Pro
fessor gives the choicest selections from
his' repertoire: n grand matinee will be. giv
en at three o'clock to-morrow afteri,w i
and the evening entertainment closo- the
season at the Psve.lioipanteuni.

At the present moment there were two
great

America had adopted the 'principle of

if that was the case she was bound to pro

The T

does it believe that it will shake the resolu
tion' of the South?
As &proposition however, which may
possibly lead to theceesation of the fright
ful conflict, the Times thinks it worthy of
discussion. The President truly says that
the expenses of the, War would buy up the
slaves in any given state. If this has any
meaning that the money now devoted to
keeping up the armies of the North might
be more advantageously:devot e d to the ex
tension of Slavery in those regions which
are incontestibly in its power. If they are
content to keep the slave states which
have not seceded and to try the plan ofd
Emancipation and compensation for them,
they may if really in earnest, accomplish
after a time, a great work, but with the ex
penditere of two millions a day and with
nothing but shin fotaicters for money, the
plan is doubtful.
The wavering slave owners mpro
mise must follow the fate of ot hersempts
at compromise. The Daily News thinks
the proportion , a hem magnan
imous. It says the eaffords at least
a good baais for a comprehensive, practi
cal and amicable debate, only the public,
by whom it has to be dascussed, is scarce
ly capable of the order needed, forr real
deliberation and decision.

Milwaukee Election.
Mir.wArKrE, April 3.—The Municipal
Election was held here yesterday. 1 lor
ace Chase Was elected Mayor, and nearly

BY LAS T NIGHT ' S
The Female Rebels... Their Con.
iflessions.
The committee of Political prisoners
have ordered that Mrs. Greenhow, Mrs.
Rosanna Augusta Realth and Mrs. Mor
ris be sent beyond onr lines. Mrs. Green
how has made a full ccuthssion, admitting
that -she wieentgaged in forwarding letters,
papers and information to the rebels.
She refuses to Left the source ofcommu
niestion she kept up, and gave no names
of her spies in this etty. But other infor
mation gives the salmi ofseveral; two ex-
Senators and several members of Congress,
one of whom still retains his seat.
Mrs. .Morris also made a confession, ad
mitting her treason in aiding the enemy by
forwarding information.
They all refused to take the oath of al
legiance., or even give a parole of honor
not to aid the enemy.
Later
from Neve Mexico.
Major Done!son has arrived from New
Mexico; and informs us that our troops
hold no
. positions of any value, except
Forts Craig . and Union.
Fort Union is in the far West, and has
several million dollarist. worth of stores,
and is considered' in 'no danger. Two
regiments of infinite?! are there, and every
necessary article with which to withstand
a seige.-
When the Fort was in danger, Gov. Gil
pin, of coloradii raised a regiment of
about one thousand men, and made one
of the hem marches on record, for several
oinyi averaging forty miles per day.
fie save Major Loekbridge, the Nicker.
aguan fillibuster was killed at the head of
a Texan Itegiment, at the battle of Fort
Craig.
o writer of the anonymous letter, it
seems, was detected - subsespently and
avowed its autlior,dii,f. and yet ant nut
advised whether be disavows its reference
to me, or whether there was ark attempt
to inculpate MP in the disclosure. These
were the only facts material for iu to
know. I suppose lam left to infer the
latter, because, though - my name does not
appear in the extract to which.my attention
has been called, you still State that the
aspersion on my fair fame and loyalty
came from Your hands. I think you will,
on refieetion, see that the whole ground on
which the • allegation was made should
have been placed in my hands. It was
not the manner of your official note nor
any form of your address that awakened
the deep sense of wrong on my part.
These are not worthy of serious notice.
The substance is what I intended, as cour
teously as I could. but very diitinctly, to
repel.
Very yes pect fally,your !Mort servant.
To FRANKLIN PIERCE.
11011. W. 11. Seward.
Mr. Latham said he bad repeatedly
urged the Senate to appoint a committee
to investigate this question a the Knights
of the Golden Circle, as it was said by
many to be the mere stietion of the brain,
and many good citizens were unjustly as
persed ; but he had no time to take from
the duties to his own constituents to in.
vestigate the matter himself.
