A rcat hobby with our neighbor of
the Democrat c- Scnfiial is an eternal and
uncompromising hostility to the I'enij'yl
vunia Hull lioud Company. Jierardii.g
it tit the cutset, no doubt, us a "soulless
corporation,7 he hr.s long ami persistent
ly opposed it in everything ; his opposi
tion has degenerated iiito hatred; arid
his hatred has become chronic. With
his reason and judgment thus blinded and
warped, it is not strange that he cannot
do that institution even common justice;
nor is it to be wondered at that he habit
ually misconstrues and impugns the mo
tives of others who would treat it simply
a they would all similar bodies politic.
If otir neighbor wduld display only half
os much zeal and acrimony in opposition
to Rebels and liebsilion as he exhibits
towards the Pennsylvania Rail Road Com
pany, it would be equally opportune, and
perhaps do him quite a. much credit.
In one of a series of characteristic arti
cles, our neighbor has recently alluded
to the defeat of the bill before the last
Legislature, restoring the Tonnage Tax
on the Pennsylvania Rail lloadr -We
wish briefly to notice his position in this
regard, and point out his inconsistencies,
and in what we have to say, we shall not
ot ourself up as the advocate of that
Company, but simply as the defender of
the Republican Party. lie speaks in
'lowinir terms. of the amount of revenue
which the restoration of the Tax would
have yielded, and charges the last "Re
publican Senate" with defeating the meas
ure which the "Democratic House" had
passed for that purpose.
Now mark the fellow's iiconsistency.
"When the House bill, re-imposing the
Tonnage Tax, came before the "Republi
can Senate," it was there amended by the
adoption of the following section :
"That on and utter the first Jay of July,
15G2, there shall be levied upon all the ton
nage of this Commonwealth, whether parsing
through or transported to any part of the
State, 2 cents per ton upon all the products
of mines, forests, and farms, aud five tents
per ton upon nil merchandise : and the rail
road, canal, arid slackwater navigation com
panies, upon which such tonnage shall he first
received, shall collect, for the use of the Com
monwealth, all such uuiies as herein fore di
rected, and pay the same quarterly to the
f?tate Treasurer; and the revenue derived
from tonnage duties p'vaII he applied exclu
sively to the payment of any debt or debts
no'.v contracted, or hereafter to be contracted
hv thi Stte for its own defence, or to sus
tain the National Oovtrument in prosecuting
the war to maintain the unity of the republic,
until fuch debt shall be cancelled; and so
much of the act approved 10th of May, 1861,
as imposes a t-pecial tax upon the taxable
property of this State of oue-half mill on the
dollar, be. and the same is hereby repealed."
A further amendment was made requi
ring the Attorney General tc institute pro
ceedings to test the Constitutionality of
the Commutation Act in relation to the
8750,000 of accrued tax, to be distributed
among certain lateral Railroads ; and in
r.Tio the liability of the Company should
. be judicially determined, then to collect
and receive the same out of the bonds of
raid lateral Roads, given as security to
the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company
nd r.hice the same iu the linking fund

Good Kvidence of Treason.
Every act cf legiblation devised for
the punishment of traitors ami the sup
pression of rebellion, has other influences
than those for which it waa particularly
designed. While such legislation is oper
ating with powerful effect on treason, it
is uho to a certain degree developing the
latent seiithneut of locofoco sympathy for
treason which has always existed in the
Free States. Thus for instance, th'e law
which declares the capital cf the only free
government on the face of the globe, also
free, has had its tendency in this re
spect, and has proven more than one man
in the North a traitor, who had managed
to conceal his sympathy iu his silent
hopes and anticipations. Recause that
law imposes a test oath on known seces
sionists, it is pronounced oppressive ; and
because it allows no man remuneration for
his property in human flesh, if that man
is a suspected or an avowed traitor, it is
declared "excessively absurd
Whoever heard these p-iltroons deplore

men gave itp the comforts, of home, the
profits and pleasures of business, with the
honors of peace, to engage in the war of

Ttic Union Army.
The army of the Union, as the Editor
of the N. Y. Times well feays, is now com
plete, and an order has gone ' forth
throughout all the land that enlistments
shall stop. The recruiting-sergeant hence
forth ceases his bland persuasions, and
the ear-piercing fife shall no longer sum
mon "able-bodied young men" to the
pride, pomp, and circumstance of glori
ous war. The grand triumphal procession
that for near a year has moved through
our. city yen route for the seat of war, our
eyes shall look on no more. Or, when
we do, 'twill be when the return tide sets
in when the holy mi.-siou on which those
patriot soldiers went shall have been ac
complished in the crushing of this foul
rebellion, and our returning heroes, with
the consecration of the sacred cause and
the glorious scars of battle and of victory
upon them, shall come back to the homes
they have secured forever to freedom.
VThen, some twelve mouths ago, Pres
ident Lincoln issued his proclamation call
ing for seventy-live thousand men, the
rebel chief at Montgomery characterized
it as a "game of bray:." What does he
think now when the nation has eijht times
waif!. Jive thousand men in the field, and
further inpourings have to be perempt
orily stopped ? And how fares it with
the rebel army whose tpirit is broken,
which is being perpetually drained by
returning regiments disgusted with the
service, and which has to be kept up by
impressments, by forced levies, by enlist
ments lor a, month, tor
a week, and even ;
nd the contrast to
foi a day ! We commend
the attention of theRichmond
lichmond newspapers. I
Tli ere is a subject for p
r niofiiable reflection !
' there
are yet too near in time to the ex-!
penses attending the rffcing of the army j
of the Union fully to appreciate all that
is wonderful and graud iu this movement.
But perhaps the most remarkable of all
its aspects is that the order to ceae en
listments should be received with a feeling
of regret. Half a million of men have
come up from the peaceful walks of life
to defend the unity of the Republic; but
this drain, so far from exhausting our re
sources, leaves behind a sense pf limitless
opulence. The historian of the war will
truly be able to say what Homer taid ot
one of his heroes: "Half of hia strength
he put not forth." There is not tho
smallest doubt, that, on good cause shown,
another army of a half million would
spring up to match the present one. The
temper of mind that has put our present
magnificent army in the field a temper
rooted and grounded iu the deepest iu
iustincts of the people is the best assu
rance . that neither domestic factiou nor
foreign foes will ever be able to prevail
against the Republic.
)ea!i oT Major General Siiiitli.
The Union has lost one of its ablest
defenders, and Pennsylvania a noble, up
right citizen, ever zealous for the public
good. Geu. Charles Ferguson Smith died
at Savannah, Tennessee, on Friday last,
from an illness contracted at the time of
his occupation of that town. The deceased
cfieer was a sou of Dr. Samuel R. Smith,
of this city, and his name and fame have
therefore been cudeared to many readers
of the tyczs. From the date of his grad
uation at West J'oiut, iu 1825, his
"advancement, not only iu rank, but in the
esteem and confidence of hisfeliow-oiTicers,
was merited and rapid. Commencing his
military career as a second lieutenant of
artillery, his distinguished merit on the
fields of Palo Alto and Resaca dela Palma,
Monterey, Cherubusco, aud Contrevas,
raised him in quiek succession to the
ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, aud
colonel. At the time of his death he was
colonel of the Third Inf intry one of the
beslTrcafimcnts iu the service. Such worth
as his could not lie dormant in the present
struggle. In August last he was made
a brigadier general. At the taking of
Fort Ronelson his valor was conspicuous,
alike to friend aud foe, and won for-diim
the rauk of major geneial. Such is tho
noble record of a lile uevoted wholly to
its country. Pennsylvania has offered up
her first geneial, and a dauntless heart,
on the altar of national honor and per
petuity. The sacrifice was not unworthy
ot its object. No patriotic zeal was ever
1 more intense or eelf-ueuymg than that of
(jeueral Smith ; no death has ever caused
more genuine regret in this community.
We mourn him as a soldier and a Phila
dolphian. We. will not merely say he
was brave ; for who, in such a cause as
ours, would not be brave ? The praise is
faint that boasts the valor of the Union
soldier. General Smith was a type of a
true warrior discreet, magnanimous, well
versed in his profession, and the s)ul ot
! manly couraire. In a pre-eminent degree

A coeniporary, in speaking of M'Clel
lan's ?iege of Yorktown, says it was there
eighty years ago Coruwallis took up his
position, intrenched behind powerful
works. He was sought out and assailed
by Washington, and, after a- desperate
seige of many days, finally compelled to
surrender his whole army to the Ameri
can commander. The seige of Yorktown
was among the most wisely plauned and
the most vigorously executed of all Wash
ington's military .operations, and there are
many features in which the present Feige
promises to resemble its illustrious proto
type. Washington was careful to take to
this decisive work an overwhelming force
four or live limes that of the enemy
with abundance of artillery, and a power
ful co-operating French fleet; we have
probably ten times the number of the rebel
force, and artillery and fleet to match.
Washington carried the royal Ktroni:!iold
bv a flank movement a favorite mode of !
.attack with our Union generals 'against
the rebels. Coruwallis had made ail his j
arrangements to escape with hi a .-my ;
Magruder has, doubtless, like his f'.;i!.v
rebel commanders, done the same. Rut
Washington captured the whole force,
and we sincerely hope fhe example will
be emulated by our present (ienerai.
Firialry, the capture of 1 orktown was de-
scribed by a journal of the times as having j
spelled those nocturnal Vapors that j
hung round us, aud put the most pleasing i
aspect upon our present political anairs :
that any era of the present war has ever j
beheld." Aud though the capture of i
this place at the pre
out time will not be, !
a? it was last century, a termination ot the
j campaign, yet the operations that are tm
mediately Leiiond cau be nothing less than
"the swelling prologue to the imperial
theme" of a vanquished rebellion and a
rehabilitated Union.

"Mobile, April 25. The enemy passed
Fort Jackson at 4 o'clock yesterday

Martial law was put iu full force, aud
business was completely suspended. All
the cotton and steamboat?, excepting such
as were necessary to transport coin, am

At one o'clock to-day the telegraph
operators bade us good-bye, saying the
enemy had appeared before the city.-
This is the last we know regarding the
fall. We will send you the particulars as

The subscriber is about publishing a nar
rative of the perils, adventures, and sufferings
of the Rev. .V. G. Brows low among ti.a
secessionists of Tennessee. The manuscript
is nearly completed, and will be put to pres.
fort a with. The appearance and typogruphy
of the work will be of the first class ; and it
will be fully and handsomely illustrated with
sketches of the scenes referred to aud a finely
eujrravc-d steel portrait of the autLor.
As to its contents, we Lave no hesitation
in saying that the public will be startled at
this narrative of facts. It will lay bare tht
persecutions and cruelty which marked the
derelopuieiit of the secession conspiracy in
Tennessee, the disasters and the ruin with
which it devasted communities once prosper
ous and sundered families once happy ; more
than all, it will expose the bad and rtckiceo
j ambition, aud the relentless bloodthirstincsa ,
by which the ringleaders ot the eonspuacy
were stimulated to their work of crime ncd
treason.
The narrative is one of personal experiences.
The author vouches lor tiie accuracy of iis
statements. The public may therefore accept
it as not only a reliable but a peculiar chap
ter iu the general history of the times : and
we are confident that no more significant,
staitliiifr, or instructive memorial of the rr
bellion, in its minute personal and social bear-'
injrs is now accessible.
Tle pub'ic are well aware that Mr. Buowx
low is a buhl speaking man. In this narra
tive of hi sufi'ei inS, composed mostly wh.'Io
confined in the jail at Kuoxvi!l he has lit--ten
d his thoughts in language of extraordi
nary force and feitrh-iscess, scathing his ad
versaries even while in their power, and
nppenlisg to his countrymen even from hii
cell witii the urjrency of a niarlyr.
It wiil be published in one volume, l2mo,
fullv illustrated, of ubvjt4.0 pages, at $1.20.

PREFACE.
These sketches were written to lessen the
J tedium of my lengthy imprisonment; and if
they serve to recall to my prison-companioni
the scenes enacted in the old Warehouse, aud
;n,orct e,...,,oU,;a .i,
reader, they will have accomplished all that
is desired by the publication of them. VViib
the exception of "Homeward Bound," they
were all writteu within prison walls, and
brought to th North sewn tecurely in the li
ning of an overcoat.
I confidently trust to my brother-officers
for their testimony as to the fidelity of th
description of our ''domestic economy," and
the accuracy of detail in the vnried incidents
in our prison life in the Tobacco Warehouse.
