W HAMMERSLY, f A MElTrx° SUBJECT:—NearIy every lumber of Congress, and five - hund - red and twenty one field officers, have petitioned the Secretary of War to grant butter as a ration t..) the soldiers. It is probable the ration will be granted. Govenor Curtin has ordered "Roan oke Island" and "Newbern" to be embla zoned on the banners of the Pensylvania 51st, and issued a general order in honor of their gallantry. The Govenor has also appointed Clement C. Barclay to visit our Pennsylvania volnoteers in the army of ihe Potomac, and look after the sick and wound. ed. DEATH OF' COMMODORE Lear.—Commodore liriah P.

In-his-lust—aetive.-sea--service • was in oommat3 of the Mediterranean squa dron his Mtg ship being the sloop-of war Macedonian. SPRING AND ITS PROSPECTB —So far the season has been unpromising; the continued wet weather has been a serious obstacle to tho farmers in preparing fur their spring, crops and of coarse spring seeding will be later than - usual. But, April has opened blight. and beautiful, the frost is generally out of the ground, and the ploughshare is now turning over the rich soil for, what we hope will be, an abundant harvest. Those who have paid attention to the fruit-trees say, that the buds, especially peaches, have R very tine promising appearance. The backward spring may prove an advantage ; when vegetation commences it will go on rapidly .and perhaps escape the frosts which have so often "nipped the bud of promise." I:WX Tus.

Disloyality to a great and noble Govern ment is in their eyes no crime, but opposition to the moat criminal conspiracy that ever dis graced the human race, is deemed an offence worthy of terrible punishment.

Ten or twelve others, boys, and girls, at work in the building wore seriously injured. Some of whom have since died: Mr. Jackson had a contract from the Government for filling cartrigdes. AsornErt.—A steam boiler in the, Baltimore House of Refuge blew up on Monday after noon, and falling upon the roof of a school house crushed it in, the ruins falling into the school room upon the children, killing two of them and wounding seven others. The school room contained seventy children, sll of whom escaped with those exceptions.

'He had just returned fioni.Wiishingtoti,: _ and had reoCieed , the Money, for' 'flour bled the Government. ' , . The Tonnage Tax. The vexed questina ..of . the.. repeal of the Tonnage Tux, is again before the Legislature. At the last session a law was passed repealing. that tax; and at this session a bill has been reported, and, we think; passed in ono branch, to repeal the repealing act, 40 that the tax may be again imposed on the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company. What-the - firial -- actul of the Legislature may be on this subject, we cannot say. As to the justice Cr expedi ency of the Tonnage Tax, we express no individual opinion, because we have no desire to say anything which would seem, even by implication, to commit the future course of the Herald, to any particular line of action on that subject. But, we do know, that a large majority of the voters of this county are decidedly in favor of the Tonnage Tax ; and that, their advocacy of this measure, has no_ political significance whatever. The friends of this measure are to be found, in equal numbers, in both the Republican and Demo cratic organizations, and it is perfectly idle to attempt to give it n party complexion. This is farther evidenced from the fact, that the only argument Used by them in favor of the Tonnage Tax, is one which addresses itself to the interests of every property hold er—the application of the ((Ind to the pay ment of the State debt, and_ the consequent lessening of the State taxes. Stripped then, of mere party politics, it be comes a question of State , polioy, and one of sufficient importance to arrest attention. It is the opinion of many, that the embarrass ment of the transit of goods through the State by the assessment of a tonnage tax, has a ten dency to drive trade away, and thus impover ish the people fur more than the requisite taxation for State expenditures can injure them. It is very evident that with the Brio Canal, and New York Railroads on the north, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the south, Pennsylvania has no monopoly of routes for western trade; and it therefore becomes us as a people, alive to the importance of build- rag up - faCFraii• StaW - kiliafifriirivhC ther it is a matter of polio -.on our part, by the imposition of a tonnageitix, so to clog up the business of the Pennsylvania railroad as to throw the trade, which justly belongs to Pennsylvania, to rival railroads north as well as south ? This question we submit to men of allpaiiics, assured that no harm can result front calm, unprejudiced &SCl'S:don'. Another Sttite Iteg,rtinclcl The latest news brings the gratifying intelligence that Florida, lies been aban doned by the rebels and is again under the protection of U. S. Flag.

Not only is the_ sea coast of the latter securely blockaded, but large portions i.of their territory are actually in our possess ' ion, and the districts we hold in Eastern Virginia, in North Carolina, in Fl o rida, in Arkansas, and in Venues See, no douht, contain nearly seven hundred thousand of their population, so that there are not more than 5,000,000 of while inhabitants in the whole district\mow wider the partial coutroal of the conspirators. Of these, there are many whose' iympa• thief are with the Union, and who would much rather see' it restored than destroyed. Assuming, that but one lifth (which is certain• ly a small proportion) are secretly opposed to the conspiracy, there would he left but 4,000 000 in the disloyal States out of-a total free population of 27,477,091, to sympathihe with • 1-11.4 d.---1311.ppt+1 , 1..-41 -re hel iminense superiority of the loyalists not only. in numbers,- but in wealth, in arts, in the abundance of their supplies, and in their complete maratime ascendency, must inevitable secure the triumph of the Union forces, if the war is- resolutely and vigorous, Iv prosecuted, and the authorities cheerfully sustained by the American people. To put an army of six hundred thousand men in the field requires but one man out of thirty seven of our free population, leryv ing,t,hirty six to devote themselves to the peace:ful r reuits to maintain hiniiand thert_ sel;es. To raise a rebel army of equal sir would require the enlistment of one man out of every seven of the disloyal population of the seceded States, and it is doubtful wheth er they have more than six hundred thousand men auto g them capable of performing military duty, while it is certain that they could not long sustain them in the field. Their army is frequently estimated at four hundred thousand urea. It thin calculation is correct, an idea Of the terrible exertions they must have made to organize it may be formed from the simple fact that an equally general turn-out, of the population of the loyal States would have formed an army of more than 5,000,000 men ! The Pennsylvania Reserves Reports, apparently wolf authenticated, in regard to the present condition of the troops composing the tennsylvania Reserve Corps, are in circulation, which do not speak well for Gen. McCall, or his staff officers whose duty it is to attend to the comfort of the men. It is said that since these regiments marched from vamp Pierpont, they have been without tents or other camp equipage, and the men are consequently compelled to lie out on the ground, without any other covering titan their blankets. That, ou account of this exposure, the men have become so dilapidated in their personal appoarace that on a recent occasion, when Geu, McDowell ordered a dross parade, the reserves were unfit to ap• pear. If this be so, it demands immediate investigation at the hands of Gov. Curtin, and we make the matter public in order that steps may be taken, to clicot that object. Effect of the Internecine Struggle A letter from .a Louisinitua major in the rebel army to his sister, in New Orleans, dated ,Little Rock, February 27, found after one of our recent victories, contains a curious exemplification of the effect of the war on the southern mind: "Won't like the Yankees a bit ; I have been educated to hate them, and I do, hate them heartily ; but I must acknowledge the south has been sadly mistaken in their character. We have always believed that the Yankees would not fight for any thing like a principle; that they had no chivalry, no poetry in their nature. Perhaps they have not; but - that they are bravo, determined, persevering, they have, proved beyond question. 't'* 'The trouble with them is, that they never yet tired of anything. They lost all the battles first,-and. after Manassas-we despised them. This year has inaugurated a new order it affairs. We are beaten at all points. We do nothing but surrender and evacuate; and while I hate the Lincolnites more than over, I res pect them—l can't help it—for their dogged obstinacy and the slow but Fite idy manner in which they carry out their plans." From the above extract it would seem that the rebels are being oduoated. into a. proper appreciation of northern character.

We con dense from the papers received this week, the most,important movements of the forces. Tho-nebetl-posjtion at Island No. 10 seems to be more formidable than ever. They have opened a news heavy- gun battery. Four rebel iron-clad gunboats have appeared at Point Pleasant, and a brisk engagement was going on at the last accounts, and the firing of tbwrebel steamers seem to be stronger. The rebels have evacuated Pensacola rind Fore Barrancasand Mcßae, and the _whole of Florida has been formally abandgned' by them. They attempted to take away the Florida troops, but they refused to go. General Sherman has issued a proclamation, inviting the people to return to their allegiance, and many do so readily. Great preparations have been made at New Orleans, brette - rebels, to resist the attack on that city by Porter's mortar fleet. Gen. BuelLis imcommand of the Union forces in Tennessee, and at the latest ndvices lie was within 15 miles of the rebel army under Beauregard. Morgan's rebel eavalry, have captured another train on the Louisville and Nashville . 4ailroad. It contained several U. S. offiters. The 'rebels in''•Arkausas under Van Dorn and Price are said to be weakelied and disheartened, and have retreated beyond the Boston mountains, to Van 'Buren and Fort Smith. They are badly off for clothing and shoes, but are I.Vceiving supplies by the Arkansas river, which is now flooded. Pike's Indians having been panic stricken by our artillery in the recent ..battle, have heien sent back to their homes. Another account states that-Priee-has-heerHargely reinforced since the battle at I'ea Ridge, and the best informed mililaryumen here think his force is fully up to 40,000. Pour hundred men from north of the Missouri river, passed within six miles of this place to reinforce Price, only three days before the battle of Pun Ridge. After subsisting for weeks in the very camps where Price and McCullough had maintained their• armies for nearly a }car, Gen. Curtis has fallen back from Pea Ltiifge to Keitsville, (Mo titteen miles distant, his forage having been exhausted. A retrog ado movement, however uncongenial it m iy• have been to his troops, was, therefore prudent and expedient, as it placed the I ninny in n much less exposed situation, and gives it ready .access to supplies.

The Richmond Enquirer of Thursday, says that the loss on their side, at the battle of Winchester, was between six and seven hundred. It consoles itself and the public, however, by saying that the loss of the "Hessians" was fully twelve hundred. It contained no other news. There is ho news of importance from the Tennessee river. It is not expQeted that active operations in that'. quarter will coin wence until the artival of General Buell's army, unless our forces are attacked by Beauregard. A Nashville carreipondent, writing to the Cineinnatti Commerdal, says : By the way, it is generally understood though not officially promulgated, that the reserve of the army, now marching into Alabama, will be a newly created division, under the commend of Brigadier Genera) Negley at present' commanding the Seventh Brigade. This Brigade wise formerly in Get oral McCook's division, being with Rosseau and Johnston's brigade, but limier al 13nell withdrew General Negloy's coin. maid from the Second Division. 1 thi n k, but do not know positively, that this was done ,tlt,fleneral Negley's request—a natural consequence of his peculiar character Gen. Negley was ordered to remain in camp at Nashville when McCook moved, and has since been reporting to General' Buell. To his command..l understand, three regiments have been added—two being of cavalry and ono of artillery—colonel James Barnett, of the First 'Ohio Cavalry, commanding the latter, and one of the cavalry regiments being under Colonel Wynkoop, of Pen:.syl.. vomits. It is understood here that ether regiments of infantry are to be added to this force. ' General Negley raised the first Pennsylvania brigade for the three months service, and was with Patterson in Maryland and Virginia. He came into Kentucky in November last, when crazy Sherman re signed. He is a practical man, who takes _grcatpride_imlia_pummand.

The etigineeys and track layers report that their forces engaged in restoring the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have finished their work, with the exception of three miles only, about midway between rtinsburg and Harper's Ferry. All the numerous bridges, large and small, are thorough'y completed, and the last rail ne cessary to con tic et, Baltimore and Washiugtan with Wheeling, Parkersburg, &e., will p os i. tivoly be laid on Sunday morning, the 30th inst.

The first through passenger trifin will leave Baltimore, Wheeling and Porkers. burg on Wednesday, April 2d, at the latest. The restoration of this great lino of coin municaticm will certainly be permanent and effectual, as the country smith of it is fully occupied and possessed by government troops, in the departments of McClellan, Dix and Fremont respectively, Renewed life and energy is inspired in line business community of 13altimar 9 by this happy result. EMANCIPATION IN MISSOURI. —This war has been made, by the rebels themselves, the most-sweeping prhotioal emancipation agent that could have been devised. Nay, ernanei pat ion but tamely expresses the work thtit has been going on, for the word implies a gradual process. The rebellion is loading to the abolition of slavery. 17 is abolitionizing the State, partly by the wholesale deportation of slaves by dis loyal masters to the Gulf, States; partly by unresisted Red unopposed exodus otunalaimed and masterhigs slaves from the wealthy bor der and river counties into Kansas, Nebraska, lowa and Illinois; and partly by the almost complete overthrew .of -slavery as an institu tion iu the State. * There are many slaves still in Missouri, but they are regarded h,y their owners as a clog and incumbranee—a species of property of little or no produotive value end of the most precarious tenure, since it is liable at .anY.inomeut to take wings , or , legs and. flee away, without the possibility of being recap tured. . Tho causes that have so materially weak ened the institution in tho Stato .during the last twelve months are still at work, and will continuo to operate as long as the war shall last, nncl At the and of the poritest wo find nothing of slavery hero, but the waged frame of a moribund institution from whioh nil energy and all productive power, has fled.

Cimit-mt Towtceo : Those who are fond-of-the "weed," - and especially -that preparation of it known as, fine cut, will find at Lfaverstick's an excellent variety known as the Chesapeake tobacco; manufactured by GAIL. & Ax of Baltimore. It is more sola cing than "Solace," very pure in quality and put up with great care. For a choice article try the Chesapeake. A lIINT TO HOUISEKEEPERB : Every house-wife,- who uses kerosene or coal or carbon oil, knows that it affords the best and cheapest light of all illuminating oils. But she, also knows that the constant expense and annoyance from the breakage of lamp chimneys, almost, if not quite, connterbal, mice the advantages of its use, 0 e who thoroughly tried the experiment of proven ting chimneys from cracking with the heat of the flame, says ; 'Put the glass chimney in lukewarm water, heat to the boiling pointy and boil one hour ; after which leave it in the water till it cools. The suggestion is worth a trial. TUE FIRST OF A pas : This 'annual pay-day us well as moving-day, brought its I.n_eals.tgrae.tlr v_d „and,. were filled with people, in whose countenances you could trace an unusual degree of earnest ness, se they c , gititted on judgements to be satisfied and deeds "settled, signed and delivered." The „public the Bucks and tho-Lawyers had a busy time of it, and doubtless_a bar} • o.4llllnel of money_ _ hands. It is tow that. some cool I no: "come up to the mar's - and others co only Mier a half-compliance, but still the world goes on mid -nobody hurt." Change 4 among the tenants seemed to be very general ; nth day wapus, carts:La I wheelbarrows were put in rerptiqition conveying household goods from one locality to another ; tool many of those who, on the morning of the lot of April, could greet their •'neighbors over the way," with a friendly smile, got up on the 2d to find the blank countenances of strangers. But, 'sic!, is life." By the way, those of our subscribers who have changed their residen ces, aro requested to notify us, so that the Carrier may know where to leave their papers. 'l'tt PROSPECT Fort PEACIIES.-- - At this 'line sea,ou the hods or the peach trees were wore than half developed. On the middle or April 'hey wore in toll bloom, and by suli,:eipient sharp weather the crop was reduced to nothingness compared with the natural 3 ield. This year we learn that things aro, very liliorent. Those who are posted in such matters e/;;‘g to the opinion that thus far the weather has been most favorable, and that the cllll ces for a heavy peach crop are first class. The season up to to day has not yet been warm enough to send up the ,tap, and the buds happily lie vet in embryo, where they should lie for some days to come. BAD MONEY : The issue of small bills by the banks of this State, has given the rascally coanterfeiters a larger field for the display of their thievish ingenuity. Ei,tery fortnight there scents to be a new addition to floating stock of ,coundrelisin, and the public cannot be too cautious in receiving bank notes. The cunning rogues who man age to elude the vigifence of the detectives, are always careful to anticipate the pubbea. tiolls of Peterson and Hodge, and to put into circulation a fresh batch simultaneous. ly with the issue of the Detectors. Hence, these are no guide till after the public have realized the infliction of a new swiLol,e.

A SCALY SUBJEur.—Every ono will welcome the advent of the fish season. We notice that Mr !lank:suss and Mr. ALLISON. have had some fine Pike, Perch, and Catfish in market, and in a few' days e e will, no doubt, have plenty of Shad. A few years ago, before the Tide Water Canal. Company were permitted to increase the height of their dams, the fisheries along the Susquehanna of forded employment to a great. many people, and the supply Of shad was abundant;-but of late, we have had to depend on Baltimore and Philadelphia. We leirn that a number of the citiLens of Lancaster county, are about taking measures to compel the Tido Water Canal Company to alter their dams so as to permit the free passage of fish up the Sus quehanna river. Those who prefer to fish with sinMethiug else than a silver hook, may find pleasant, if not remunerative, employment along the Oct nodogninet after " eatties," until the first of qty shall open the—trout'streams-to-the—fol— lowers of old Izaak-" Walton.

It puts people in every bad humor sometimes, and makes thew use language unbecoming to t'lrrisiinna. this is especially the case with nicely dressed fee males, who, when walking on the crossings - at night, during one of these . tidtirk times," think they see a nice, dry stone. They step on it, and suddenly, to their intense disgust, find themselves up to their kn—, excuse me, their ankles in mud and water. Third—Do not light the lamps at half pad four o'clock on Sunday afternoons. I always like to see every one at church in good lime provided no one else sutlers by it. Lighting up so soon is a useless waste of gas and makes tax-payers feel very uncomfortable. Lastly —Do not pm the lights out at ten o'clock, when the borough ordinance says eleven. "Corporation moonlight" is precious to persons who have to lie out late at night. I myself have been belated several times 'Mo ly, and have home near having my neck bro ken. Think of it Why if such a disagree able accident had happened, I, in all probabil ity, 'would not have been here to give you these words of good advice. And all for the want of a little light!
