S. A., (JEN. HOSPITAL, .June 11, A. I)., 180t. Mr. Daniel Duffy. —DKAU .Slit As Chaplain of this Hospital, it becomes my painful duty to send you the sad tidings of the death of your BOD, John Duffy, of the 14th Peuna. Cavalry, Company L. He was brought here on the morning of the "tli inst, and died yesterday morning the loth, at 2 o'clock, n. m., of Typhoid I over. He was very ilt when he reached i thi . and had been for some time sick at a field Hospital, in Pleasant Valley. This being broken up the patients had to be a. "red. He, with perhaps forty others, •aine here, duabtless he was very ill before in- leii the valley, hut i/k ttip here did j him no good, as he grew steadily worse j until lie died. Before he became too ill to converse, 1 I talked with him freely, on thejsubject of j religion, and found, to my great joy, that | he had not neglected the one thing need ful He was indeed in a very gratifying j spiritual condition, and assured me of his readiness to depart, and bo with Christ. Some time afterward ho became too ill to converse, but received the most kind and unremitting attendance as long as he lived. lie was buried this afternoon—services being performed in the Chape), in the presence of a large and attentive audienco by whom his remains were afterwards fol lowed to the grave, preceded by the usu-1 al military escort and the Hospit;tW!and. j At the grave 1 pronounced a solemn l'u ! neral service over the remains, which, i with the military honorsclosed the service, j He sleeps inMt. Olivet Cemetery. A neat I j hcadbord will be placed at the grave, with | a suitable inscription. May God support you my dear sir. un | der this heavy affliction—and may you I live to sec that your noble boy -has not | died in vain, in the service of the repub lic. Very respectfully. Your obedient servant, H. 11. CUKVKK, Hospital Chaplain, U. S. A. Tlie Celebrated Ivory Crueifix. | Among the curiosities noticeable in the I Philadelphia Fair is the celebrated ivory crucifix, which was carved in a monastery ! at Genoa, by a monk who had received no] previous instruction either in the fine art? or'the use of the tools necessary for the purpose. The material from which he | sculptured this masterpico of art was a large mass of ivory, which had been ly ing in the treasury of the convent for such a long period that nono of iho broth erhood knew when it had been placed there. The exterior of the ivory was I rough, a nit, upon cutting it the monk-art ist found that it was discolored for some distance —a proof of its great age —but | upon removing this stained portion the interior was ibund to be remarkably white ! and fine. The pious zeal with which he labored amounted to cuthuaiusui. almost to inspiration ; and when we look at the I wonderful results of liisindustry, we uiu.-t ■ acknowledge that Hie genius exhibited is j almost miraculous. The auatouiy ol'this I figure of the Saviour is perfect. Hvery j i muscle, every vein, is shown in its exact | ! proportion, and in the precise pi*-itiou ! which would be produced by suspension 'of the body on the cross. The expression of the face shows the quietness of death which has succeeded tiio long agony, and | the appearance of the whole figure, e\ en j to ihe clutched position of the fingers, is j teiuaikably corpse like. The entire statue, which, with ilie ex ception of the arms, is iu one solid mass, was carved from the abo\o mentioned iv ory; the arms were also out from the same piece, and attached. The crucifix was bought, some years ago, by tho American consul at Genoa, for the sum of SIO,OOO, and sent to this country. After being exhibited for some j time, everywhere exciting the greatest ad ; miration, it was finally purchased for the ! new Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul.— j Until tho Cathedral is finished, it is to be preserved in the residence of Bishop Wood, by whom it is loaned to the lair. The Waning ISebellton. A cotemporary very handsomely puts the follow ing facts together. They are worth looking at by the faint-hearted as well as the disaffected: Three years ago the rebels held firm posession of all Eastern Virginia,and dog gedly disputed the supremacy in West Virginia. They held undisputed sway over every foot of North and South Caro lina, of Georgia and Alabama, of Florida, except a fort at the mouth of Peusacola harbor; they held all-of Mississippi, Lou isiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, and had complete control over the Mississ ippi river, from the mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf. They stubbornly disputed the possession of Keutuekyand Missouri; they threatened Maryland, and bescigcd the capitol of the nation. Tho rebellion lvis lost nearly all its ter ritory and quite half its resources. It lias lost continually. Its successes ou the I battle-field have never yet staid its retreat ing god Terminus, while its defeats have _ been followed immediately by the aban donmentof whole States or largo districts. In 'Ol it lost Maryland and West Virginia. In 'O2 it lost Kentucky, .Missouri, parts , of North and South Carolina, East Vir ginia. Nashville, New Orleans (iud Mem phis In 'O3 it lyst Middle mid West Tennessee, Arkansas, North Mississippi, and Vicksburg, with the Great Father of Waters itself. In '64 it has lost its last hold upon East Tennessee, and North Georgia, and North Alabama; and Gen. Grant has driven Lee to the gates of Rich mond, after worsting him in a series of great battles In a word, the rebellion is dying of a galloping consumption. Yet there are still those wdio think the rebellion cannot be put down, and who say that "if Grant is beaten in a battle that is the end of. tho war." As if our ar mies had not already been beaten in more tluin one battle. "The question is not who loses now and then a battle, but whose cause is it that steadily,losesOn which side is it that its victories yield no sub-. Btantial fruits, while its defeats are endu ring disasters? CorreKpomlenee lleinii'u (ien. Foster mill Caen. Sum Joues.

G F.N KRAI.: I have to acknowledge the receipt this day of your communication of j the 13th instant, informing mo that five generals and forty-five field officers of tho j j . S. Army, prisoners of war, have boon turned over to you by Brig. Gen. Ripley, | with instructions to see that they are pro- I vided with quarters in the part of the oi- I ty occupied by non-combatants, the major ity of which latter you state are women ami children. You add that it is thepart of the city which lias been for many I months exposed to the fire of our gnus.— } Many months since, Major fßneral Gil | more, U. 8." army, notified Gen. Beaure- I gard. commanding at Charleston, that the city would be bombarded. This notice was given that non-combatants might be removed, and thus women and children be' spared from harm Gen. Beauregard in a eoumiuuication to General Gilmore, da ted August 2JJd, 1803, informed him that the non-combatant population of Charles ton would be removed with all possible celerity. That the women and children j have since been retained by you in the part of the city which has been for many months exposed to fire isa matter decided Iby your own senseof humanity. I mult. I however, protest against your action in I thus placing defenseless prisoners of war I in a position exposed to constant bombard ment. It is an indefensible act of cruel- . ty, and can be designed only to prevent j the continuance of our fire upon Charles | t in. This city is a depot for military sup | plies, and contains not merely arsenals, j but, also, founderies and factories for the I manufacture of munitionsof war. In its j shipyard several armed iron-clads havo i been already completed, while others arc | -tilljipon the socks in course of construe | tion. Its wharves and the banks of the rivers on both sides of the city are lined ! with butteries. To destroy these means i of continuing the war is therefore our ob ! jc-t and duty. Vi'U 'rl to defeat this effort, and, by means not known to honorable warfare, but by placing unarmed and helpless pris i tjuei's under fire. I have forwarded your | ciinimunication.to the President with the I request that -he.will place in my custody an equal number of prisoners of like i urades, to be kept by me in position cx posed to the fire of your guns as long as j you continue the course stated inyourcom munication. I have the honor to be, very respect fully, your obedient servant, J. G. FOSTER, Maj. Gen. Commanding. C. C. WAGER, A. A. G. VAST WEALTH OF CROESUS.—In our jottings of millionaires, it would seem as though these pages were incomplete with out some data concerning him whose name has for centuries and generations—fresh down to thii present day—fufnished the standard representatives of vast wealth. | Croesus flourished about the middle of the sixth century 1!. C. The prodigious wealth which he had inherited had been increased by the tribute of conquered na tions, by the confiscation of great estates, and by the golden sands of Pactolus.— Perhaps some idea of the extent of his wealth may be formed from the rich vo tive offerings which lie is known to have deposited in the temples of the gods.— Herodotus himself saw tho ingots of sol id gold, six palms long, three broad, and oue deep, which, to the number of one hundred and seventeen, were laid up in the treasury of Delphi. He also saw, in various jiarts of Grcesc, the following of ferings—all in gold—which had been de posited in the temples by some opulent man: A figure of a lion, probably of the natural size; a wine-bowl of about the same weight as the lion; a lustral vase ; a statue of a female, said to be Croesus's ■ baking woman, four and one half feet . high ; a shield and a spear; a tripod ; some figures of some crows; a nuuiber of pillars, and a second shield iu a different i place from the first, and of a greater size, Commsreinl Anfedott*. MRS. LINCOLN VISITS THE (JK.NTRAL FAIR FRIDAY NlGHT.—Altera gay and patriotic world of human beings had de parted on Friday evening, and the brill iant gas lights had gone out, thus cur taining the interior of the Fair in the shades of night, a carriage drove up to the eastern front of Union avenue. Mr. J. E. Mitchell, of the Floral Committee, and the only gentleman present, was about to enter his own carriage, to so home, "pretty well used up with the latxirs of the day. The identity of the distinguished visitor was speedily made known to hiin, and gallantly took the place of tired hu manity. Mrs. Lincoln, accompanied by Mrs. James 11. Orne, Mrs. Lattiinore, of Wilmington, l>ol., aud Miss Thomson, alighted from the carriage and were ush ered into Union avenue. A single light or so made darkness visible. The dis tinguished guest desired to view Horticul tural Hall by gas light. Men were im mediately called into requisition) the gas and water were turned on, aud, simultane ously, as if by the touch of magic, the spacious baiaar of nature aud art was il lumined with the radiance of a thousand gas jets, and all the lbuutaius set forth their laughing waters, dashing thoir spray in beds like diamond drops. The sccue w'as enchanting to the visitors. Mrs. Lincoln was lost in admiration. All that was wanting to make it still more delight ful were the strains of fairy-like music, which would have beeu there had the in tended visit been known half an hour pre viously. As it was, the sudden illumiu ation awakened the few canary birds in cages hanging among the evergreens, and they warbled thoir ehoisest notes of praise. Mrs. Lincoln was exceedingly well gratifi ed, aud admitted the change fronj dark ness to light, and the consequent scenic ciTeot, formed one of the most plestsant entertainments of the kind that had ever come under her observation. The delighted cotnpauy, afVr half an hour's stay, retired to d r «.am of faries aud flowers, gaslight ami fountains. Tin.

Those Bonds are Issued under the Act of Congress of March Bth, 1864, which provides that all Bonds issued un der this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under any state or municipal authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds ars received in United States notes or notes of National Bonks. They are TD BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Oovonmient, at any pe riod not Jets than ten nor mnrt than forty ye art iroin their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. IN- TERRBTWILLBB PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not ovor one hundred dollars annually and on other Bonds semi-annually. The interest Is payable on tlio first days of March ami Septenfber in each year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, an they may prefer. Registered Bonds are record ed on the books of the U. 8. Treasurer, and ran be trans ferred oidy on the owner'* order. Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for cemmer rial uses. Subscribers to this loan will hare the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued Interest in coin—(or in United States notes, or the notes of National adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or receive them drawing Interest front the date of subscription and deposit. As these Bonds are Exempt from Municipal or Staff Taxation, their value is increased from one to three percent, per an num, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of tho country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay Over Eight P«-r Cent Interest in currency, and am of equal convenience M a perma nent or temporary Investment; It is believed that no securities offer so great Induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, tfc.> faith or ability of j private parties or stock companies or separate communi ties only is pledged for payment, while for tho debts of the United States the whole property of the country Is hohien to secure tho peyment of both principal and In terest in coin: . Those Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from SSO pto any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will hare the benefit of the interest. It may be useful to st*te in this connection that tho total Funded Debt of the United States on which Inter est Is payable in gold, on the 3d dr»y of March, 19M, was 37fi8,9«i5,000. The interest on this debt for tho coming flea! year will bo $45,9:17,1*26, while the customs revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1364, has Von so far at a rate of over $100,000,000 per annum. It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in excess of the want* of the Treasurer for the payment of gold interest, while the re cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual j receipts from customs on the same amount of Importer j tions, to $1 .'AOOO,OOO per annum. Instruction* to the National Banks actingailoan agenta were not toned from the United State Treasory until March 26, but in the first throe weeks of April the sub scriptions avorag»d more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK.
