The President has received a dispatoh from
Arkansas announcing that over twelve thousand
of the inhabitants have taken the oath pre
scribed in his amnesty proclamation, preparatory
to the recent ruc Gun of the State government on
the one•tenth principle.
Congressional.—Congrew has been for some
time discussing the propriety of allowing Seers •
Lary Chase to dispose of the gold in the treasu
ry, in order to stop the immense speculations by
the gold gamblers. The first bill was defeated,
and the immediate consequence was an alarming
rise in the price of gold. But the Senate has
passed a bill to which the House will most prob
ably agree to permitting the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell gold at discretion for one year.
Mr. F. Waldron, said to be a respectable and
responsible gentleman, a member of the Mary
land Legislature, has communicated to a cam
.
mittee of Congress the fact that soon after the
battle of Antietam, General McClellan had an
interview of some three hours with General
Lee, the Commander of the rebel forces. In
a card published over his own signature, Mr.
Waldron states that Gen. Lee oame within
our lines under his escort, he having received
from Gen. McClellan a pledge of personal safety
for both, that the interview was held at the sug
gestion of a mutual friend, and took place two or
three days after the battle. The truth or falsity
of this statement will no doubt be ascertained in
a few days. The Ways and Means Committee
have completed their amendments to the Nation
al Bank Lill, establishing a uniform rate of inter
est of 7 per cent. in all of the States, allowing
existing State Banks to retain their distinctive
names, and abolishing the numbering of the
banks.
Pennsylvania Legislature.—The act relating
to the payment of bounties to volunteers, as it
passed the House, provides that all bonds issued
by county commissioners or the corporate ,an
alert ties of any ward, or borough; or district
school directors for the payment of bounties to
volunteers, made since October 7th, 1868, be le
galized and made valid; also all payments of
such bounties. The authorities named cue au
thorized and 'required to complete all contracts
made for such payments, and to borrow money
and issue bonds to complete such payment or re
fund money previously collected for the purpose;
and to levy and collect taxes to meet the interest
and principal of such bonds, as other taxes are
now levied and collected.
All assessments heretofore made for this pur
pose are legalized; provided, that the property
of non-commissioned offloers and privates now in
the service, or the families of those who have died
in the service, or who have been honorably dis
charged after eighteen months service, shall be
exempt from such tax. The provisions of the
Relief act areextended to the families of all those
entering the service under the present call.
General.—Mr. Chase has formally declined
being a candidate for the nomination for the
Presidency at the approaching Baltimore Con
vention. He says: "It was never mare impor
tant than now, that all our efforts and all our en
ergies should be devoted to the suppression of
the rebellion and to the restoration of order and
prosperity on the solid and sure foundation of
freedom and impartial justice, and I earnestly
urge all with whom my counsels may have
weight, to allow nothing to divide them while
this great work, in comparison with with which
persons and even parties are nothing, remains
unaooomplished."
The inauguration of Governor Hahn came off
at New Orleans, on the 4th of March. The cer
emonies took plane in Lafayette Square, and are
described es being very grand and imposing.
In the middle of the square was erected, a circu
lar platform, fifty feet in diameter, which served
as a base to a tall staff, bearing aloft, above all
rivals the national standard. From this point as
a centre, in a sweep of a half mile, towered an
amphitheatre of seats, which, in height, accom
modations and magnitude, was never before
erected on this continent. On these ranges of
seats were comfortably accommodated ten thou-,
sand of the loyal children of the public schools,
together with ample room for five thousand espe
cially invited guests. At the base of this im
mense amphitheatre was &platform for Gilmore's
five hundred musicians, and forty anvils and
their " beaters." In the rear of the amphithea
tre, projected above the continuous boundary
line, thirty-four upright columns, each surmount
ed with a. colored glass globe underneath a
shield; in this way every Stated the Union was
represented. Behind all this was stationed, by
Gen. Arnold, fifty pieces of brass artillery. Over
the centre square, were the festoons of ever
greens, and gay signal flags of all nations, and
all around were various patriotic! mottos.- •
The Constitutional Convention of Virginia
passed the following report of the Committee on
Emancipation to-day, at Alexandria:
Your Committee on Emancipition beg leave to
introduoe the following as a part of the Constitu
tion of Virginia, to be inserted in name and un
der the caption of slavery, or freedom : 1. Sla
very and involuntary servitude, except for crime,
is hereby abolished and prohibited in the State
forever. 2. The Courts of competent jurisdic
tion may apprentice minors of African descent,
on the conditions provided by law for appren
ticing white ohildren. 3. The General Assembly
shall make no law establishing slavery or recog
nizing property in human. beings. There was
but one dissenting vote. One hundred guns
were fired in honor of the event, and the bells
rung throughout the city.
It is understood that Governor Bramlette has
addressed earnest remonstrances to the President
respeoting the enrollment and enlistment of
slaves in Kentucky, and has notified the Presi
dent that he will exeotrte the laws of Kentucky
against all who attempt to take slaves from their
owners without (heir consent. He claims that
Kentucky has furnished more than fifty thou
sand of her sons to defend the Government, and
is willing to furnish still more and all that is
allotted to her; that she has proven her loy
alty and must be treated as such, and her
laws, constitutionally included, must be re
spected.
The Columbus Journal announces that Ohio
has filled her quota, and is out of the draft.
There will be, therefore, no draft in that State
on the Ist of April, if this information is cor
rect.
Returns from New-Hampshire are nearly com
plete, only ten towns remaining out. The fig
ures are : Gilmore, Union, 80,767 ; Harrington,
Dam., 30,75 D. Gilmore's majority, 6,998. The
towns to come in may reduce this a little, but
probably not. below 6,700. The Councillors are,
4 Union, 1 Demoorat—Union gain of 1 ; the
Senate, D Union, 8 Democrats—same as last year.
The House shows a gain of nearly 20;Unionists,
giving on a joint ballot about 75 Union' majority
against 68 last year.
The Amendment to the Constitution of the
State of New-York, permitting the soldiers from
that State to vote for State and county officers,
wherever they may be stationed, was carried by
a large majority of the popular vote.
Gov. Buokiogham, of Connecticut, has ap
pointed Friday, the 26th inst., as a daY of hu
miliation and prayer in that State. He says :
gcl earnestly invite the people to assemble at
their usual place of religious worship, and with
out any attempt to conceal the wedge of gold,'
or to justify themselves before an omniscient
God, to re3ognize the righteousness of his judg
ments, and, with penitential confession of their
sins and, true repentance, beseech him to cause
his anger toward us to cease, to restore - unto us
the blessings of public peace, and the joys of
his salvation."
The publication of Mr. Chase's letter, asking a
withdrawal of his name from the Presidential
discussion, forms the great topic of conversation
and speculation in all circles. Mr. Chase re
ceives the heartiest praise on all hands, both
from Lincoln's organ and others. Many insist
that this brings out Fremont with great promi
nence, and others say Butter will now come in.
The Democratic papers generally insist that the
contest lies between Lincoln and Fremont.
The wife of Gen. Beedaregard died at New-Or

European.—The allies made a close reconnois •
sane° toward Duppel, on the Bd. The Danes had
burnt down all the farms on the line of their out
posts. A cavalry skirmish took place on the
20th, near Frederick. The Danes captured thirty
Hussars. Gen. De Mesa expresedd the belief
that Duppel cannot be taken before the end of
May or the beginning of June,
under the most
unfavorable circumstances to the Danes. The
Berlin and Vienna journals continue to ridicule
the motion of a conference. Mr. Mason had re
turned to London from Paris, it is supposed, in
connection with the alleged recognition negotia
tions. It is also said that Mr. Lawley, ex-cor
respondent of the Lomion Times, at Richmond, is
constantly passing between London and Paris,
and is probably engaged on the same subject.
Bonds of the rebel loan, to the extent of £71,000,
re-payable at par, were drawn at London on the
ist of &iamb. The military operations in Bales-
wig continue suspended. An Auxiliary Depart
ment to the U. S. Sanitary Committee has been
organized in London. The rumor to the effect
that the Arch Duke Maximillian has renounced
his intention of going to Mexico, is entirely un
founded. M. Mon has declared in the Spanish
Congress that he would govern with the coopera
tion of the Cortes, and settle the Constitutional
question.
Yoral
Mr. J. M. Burchfield has just now in his
popular Dry Goods Store, corner of Fourth and
Market streets, a full assortment of all the
goods suited to the season. The stook is an un
usually line one, and has been selected with
much care. And at no establishdent in.the city
are the prices more reasonable. Mr. Burchfield
and his assistants take great pleasure in exhib
iting their splendid assortment to 'visitors, and
do everything possible in t'he Way of meeting
the tastes and circumstances of all. The pro
prietor's long experience in the business, and
his well known integrity, will continue to se
cure him a large patronage.
The Sanitary Commission of this oily has
determined to•hold a Fair about the last'ot May
or the beginning of :one, for the benefit Of our
sick and wounded soldiers. The Commission, in
connection with many of the leading citizens, are
entering upon the work with great liberaliti and
zeal. The ladies, as usual, are the leading
Workers. The towns, villageS and townships of
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio will all
take part. This enterprise we can most, cor
dially commend to all our readers. The persons
who have the management are a enfOeient guar
antee that nothing of doubtful propriety will, be
admitted. We cannot do too much for the relief
of our brave soldiers. Next week we will be
able to give more definite information..

senger and baggage cars, whichNare superior to
any now on the road. They are furnished with
new iron trucks, improved brakes, and all the
modern safeguards and improvements, and are
painted in beautiful style. A number of the
new cars were run over the mountain on Friday
last, and were universally conceded to be not only
the most comfortabte, but the finest cars yet
placed upon this splendid line of railroad. The
new cars will soon be Placed upon the road for
through travel.
An immense business is now doing on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Its otfioers, President
Thompson and Vice Presidents Scott and Lom
baert, slang with 'Superintendent Lewis, keep
everything in first rate working order.
Pittiburgh Female College.—Thie institu
tion has been in successful operation foreeveral
years, and has received a large public patronage
from the citizens of Pittsburgh and vicinity,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and several other States.
Already some $BO,OOO have been expended in
the purchase of grounds and the erection and
improvement of buildings. Accommodations
have been provided for eighty-five boarders.
The rooms for these are large, well ventilated,
and well lighted ; while the school-rooms, fur
nished in the best Style, have, suffibient capacity
for over 800 pupils. The number of teachers
employed during the year was 20 ; and the ag
gregate of pupils has been 800.
Extensive improvements have just been
completed. The halls and school-rooms have
been newly papered. A large and beautiful
chapel is ready for occupancy. The Browning
Literary Association, composed of members of the
Senior Class, is finishing a Hall rarely equalled
for beauty and chasteness in its ornaments, and
for the propriety of all its appointments. In ad
dition to these, a large Art Gallery for the exhi
bition of paintings and other works of art, is now
in a state of great forwardness. The improve
ments made during the last year have cost the
handsome sum of $20,000.
The best and most approved school-books and
methods of instruction have been adopted, and
no expense, or pains are spared to render the
pupils comfortable and to impart to them the el
ements of a sound education; , Special attention
is given to music), painting, and drawing: Dr.
Pershing, the Principal, is remarkably well quali
fied for his important place; and the great suc
cess which has attended him in the past in con
nection with this College, is the best pledge he
could give for faithfulness to his trust in the
future.

ERT CLINEFELTER, aged 23 years.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church

Heart-stricken parents, let not your souls be
cast down, nor disquieted within you ; your hope
is in God, even in that God who gave, who took the
child. Forget not the promise is unto you, and
to your children. The Alpine shepherds carry
the lambs in their arms Aip ,the rugged steeps,
that the flocks may follow to where the
.greener
pastures grow. The Shepherd of Israel has taken
your sweet babe up the sides of the mount of
God, that your affections may follow. "Where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

DIED-LNear Duncan's Falls, Ohio, on the 16th
of December, 1863, JAMES M'COID, in the 52d
year of his age.
Mr". M'Coid had been for many years a 'mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church. He was one of
those unobtrusive Christians, the light of whose
example was steady and effective ; but now that
it is extinguished, the memory of it gives it a
more - brilliant lustre. As the head of a family,
he was kind and indulgent ; as a friend, firm and '
unchanging; as a citizen, a man of unswerving
integrity. As he lived, so he died, with a firm,
unshaken reliance on his Saviour. He had been
for many months in poor health, and the sum
mons came not in an hour when he thought not,
but to bid to the .Supper -one-who was ready to
enter, with his lamp trimmed and burning.
He leavis a. wife and five children, and a large
circle of friends to mourn over him. “Blessed '
are the dead which die in the Lord." H.F.
DIED—On the 29th of January, at the resi
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Everhart, in Wino
na, Minnesota, Mrs. MARY FINLY, aged '72
years.
Mrs. Finly was born and resided most of her
life in Westmoreland Co , Pennsylvania. Her
father, the Hon. George Plumer, was said to
have been the first white male child born under
the British dominion west of the Alleghenies.
Familiar from childhood with the histOry of the
noble men and women who, in perils of Indian
warfare, had made their homes in that beautiful
region, and laid deep the foundations of the
Presbyterian chureh in Western Pennsylvania,
she loved to dwell on their trials,.and contrast
present privileges with the narrations she had
heard of early days. A mother indeed in Israel,
beloved by all, revered and cherished by her
children, she was sustained in her last hours by
the everlasting arms of the Saviour she had
loved and served through life, and trusted in
death.
-DlED—Near Warsaw, Hancock County, 111.,
Mrs. N. F. M'NUTT, and Mrs. E. P. MITCHELL.
Mrs. M'Nutt died on May 16, 1863, bearing a
testimony to the grace of God in the Gospel of
his Son. She cast her soul,. her husband, and
her three young children on the care of a prom
ising God. Her body rests on the margin of the
prairie, and her redeemed spirit with the, saints
in light. Her disease was general debility.
"Blessed are . the dead which die in the Lord."
Mrs. Mitchell died on August, .20th, '1863, of
the same disease. She lingered longer, waiting
and expecting to be called home. Calmly and
patiently she saw and felt the sure coming of
death. Herself, her husband, and her three
little children she_oommende.d to the safe keeping
of a merciful Saviour. Softly she'•Erank .to rest.
Her end was peace, for she trusted wholly in
Christ.
Thus two sisters, each having three young
children, and each being a member of the Wythe
Presbyterian church, have gone to dwell in the
everlasting habitations. There they rest from
their labors ; there they walk in white, and eat
the bidden manna. AYTCH, Pastor.
DlED—Friday morning, Feb. 26th. 1864, after
a short but severe illness, Miss SADIE E. TODD,
of Academia, Juniata Co., Pa., aged 38 years.
She bore her sufferings with remarkable com
posure and Christian fortitude. For a number
of years she had been a quiet, consistent member
of the Presbyterian Church, and on her .death
bed gave most comforting evidence to her friends
of her interest in Christ. She parted with her
friends most.tenderly, giving each one an appro
priate word of exhortation, charging all most
earnestly to live for Christ, for heaven-, and to
labor to bring others with them to the better
land. To her brother and sisters '
after kissing
them all good-by, she said, " And now, farewell
to you all—meet me in heaven. Oh, if we only
meet there, an unbroken family !"
A few moments before she became speechless,
she exclaimed, " Oh! my friends, do not _detain
me ; let me go. I want to go home to be with
my Saviour; and now, farewell to one and all—
farewell, farewell!" * * *
DIED--In Butler County, Feb. Ist and 18th,
of diptheria, KATE DALE, aged 15 years ; and
MARY LILLIAN, aged 7 years--children of
Samuel T. Cooper deceased.
How still ; 0, hOw still it is! Every foot-fall
sends an echo through the deserted rooms. The
North-wind sighs a mournful requiem o'er our
joy's untimely bier. 'Tie the knell of departed
hopes" once fondly cherished, now, alas! gone
down to the long night of death. Hence this
quiet, this stillness, which knows no change.
Other things will change ; for, „but a few days
ago, these silent rooms were merry with the
peals of childish laughter; thos; little forms, so
light and gay, seemed a very mockery to decay
and death, to the stillness that now reigns, which
time can never change. But, lay aside the toys ;
fold the little dresses and lay them silehtly by ;
they will no longer need these tokens of thy
love. Beautiful robes, pure and spotless, clothe
thy angel children in the,city of Light—a robe,
fond mother, thy kindness could not weave. Then
look up, and in thy resignation know=
Each care, each ill of mortal birth --
Is•sent in pitying love,
To lift the lingering heart from,earth
And speed its flight above. '
Every pang that wrings the breast,
And every joy that dies, •
Tells 'us to seek a purer rest,
And trust to holier ties." - •
DlED—Near Corsica, Pa., on the 13th of Jan
uary, Mr. JAMES HINDMAN, in the 62d year
of his age. . •
The subject of this notice made a profession
of faith in Christ, in early years. Through life
he was enabled to maintain a deportment con
sistent therewith. At the organization of the
Presbyterian church of Pisgah, (now in the
bounds 6f the Presbytery of Clarion) on the 2d
of July, 1833, he was received on certificate and
elected a Ruling Elder. A kind Providence
gave him many year's and much grace to adorn
his office. During hisiast illness, he manifested
marked patience and resignation, having no will
of his own, and often saying, "The Lord, do
that which seemeth him good." Death was
script of •its gloom. He regarded the dark val
ley as the cypress-shaded avenue along which
his steps should be Conducted to glory. It
pleased God to remove him, and-thus " he rests
from his labors."
His death has left a sad vacancy, not only in
his own stricken household and extensive circle
of relations; but also in the community and in
the church. He was truly a Christian patriot ;
deeply interested in our national troubles, and
praying for the overthrow of rebellion mid op
pression. He was an efficient: ruler in the
church ; reliable in counsel and prompt in ac
tion. He was a man of ardent piety; being full
of "faith and the Holy Ghost, and ready to every
good work." He was eminently "a .worker ; de
voting time and means "to the furtherance of
the Gospel." Thus was he continually active in
the various walks of usefulness. As he was a
prominent citizen and Christian, and a distin
guished office-bearer the house of God, he was
widely known and greatly eiteemed. There are
pleasant memories of his social intercourse, of
fervent prayers and pious counsels, cherished by
those who knew him. - He .being dead
,yet
speaketh " words of cheer and consolation to a
weeping household, and of inspiring example to
a sympathizing church. He "sleeps in Jesus."
His remains rest with •those of many' kindred
in the churchyard of Pisgah, until that glorious
morn when they shall arise clothed in immortal
bloom.
" Soldier of Christ, well done !
Thy glorious Warfare's past;
The battle's fought, the victory won,
And thou art crowned at last."

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1864.
TErs New-roax Tarautifi, first issued April 10, 1.841, has
to-day a larger segregate circulation than any other news
paper published in America, or (we believe) in the world.
Compelled a year since to increase the price of •its several
issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors
from the very maguitude of Re - circulation, it has probably
since parted with game patrons to whom its remarkable
.cheapness was a controlling recommendation ; but others
have taken their places, and it has nowmore than Two Hun
dred Thousand subscribers and regular purchasers—an ex
cess of at least Fifty Thonaand over those of any rival.
And this unprecedented currency it has- achieved by very
liberal expenditures in procuring early and authentic in
telligence, ha the fearless expression of convictions, by the
free employment of ability and industry wherever it might
contribute to excellenee in any department of our enter
"prise, and by unshrinking fidelity tolhe dictates of Justice,
Utenanity, and Freedom. .
By very large outlays for early and authentic advices by
telegraph and otherwise from.its own correspondents with
the various armies of the Union, and by special efforts to
furnish such information respecting . Markets, Crops, new
discoveries or iMprdtrements in Agriculture, dc., as must
specially interest farmers, we have assiduously labored to
make a Journal calculated to meet the wants and eubserve
the interests of the Producing Classes. That end we have
at least measurably attained; for no other newspaper ex
ists in America or Europe which is habitually readhy. near
ly so many farmers and their lemilies as is Tax l'ltt/iIIIIE
today. We shall labor to increase both the number and
the satisfaction of this by far the most numerous class of its
patrons.
Ardently desiring and striving for the early and enduring
adiustment of our National - distractions, THE TRIM=
leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that adjust
ment implicitly to those lawfully in authority, confiding in
their wisdom and patriotism,hnxious to aid them to the ut
most in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarrass
them even by possibility. Firmly believing in the Apostolic
rule--A First pure, these peaceable "—holding net the total
and Anal extirpation of Bleyery is the true and only abso
lute cure for our National life—that any expedient that
Stops short of this can have but a transient and illusory suc
cess—we yet propound no theory of "reconstruction?? and
indorse none that hes been propounded by another—neither
Sumner's, nor Whiting's, nor any or the various Copper
head devices for achieving Peace" by surrendering the
Republic into the power, of its traitorous foes—but, exhort
ing the American People to have faith in their Goiernment,
to reinforce their armies and replenish their treasury, we
believe that, if they but do their duty. a benign Providence
will in due time bring this fearful struggle to .such a close
as will best subserve the true greatness of our country and
the permanent well-being of mankind.. .
We respectfully solicit the subscriptions and active exer
tions of our friends, and - of ail whose views and convictions
accord substantially with ours.

space, aro not liable to get out of order, and every one is
warranted for five years.
The CABINET ORGANS, Introduced about a year since,
and manufactured exclusively by MASON & lIAMLIN,
have met with success unprecedented in the history of musl.
cal instruments. Supplying • a long-felt want, they have
been received with the greatest favor by the musical profes
sion and the public, have already been very widely intro
duced, and the demand for them is still rapidly increasing,,,
and mn.t continue to increase as their meats become known.
They are to private houses, Sunday Schools and smaller
churches, all that the larger pipe-organs are to large
churches. In addition to this, they are admirably adapted
to the performance of Secular as well as Sacied Music.
The CABINE C ORGAN is essentially different from, and
a very great improvement upon all instruments of the Melo
deon or Harmonium kind: its superior excellence Consists
in many important characteristics, among which are :
1. The more organ-like character of its tyne.
2. It has greatly more power and volume of tone in pra
portion to its cost.
3. By the employment of a very simple and beautiful in
vention, its capacity for expresdon is made vastly greater
than has ever before been attained in such instruments.
This invention is especially valuable, because scarcely any
practice is necessary to render it available: Any ordinary
performer can master it in an hour or two.
4. It admita of great rapidity of execution,' adapting it
to the performance of a greater variety of lively secular
music.
5. No instrument is less liable to get out of order.
6. It will remain in tune ten times as tong as a piano.

It may be reasonably said that if these instruments
have the great and obvious superiority thus claimed •for
„them, they mud have received very warm recommendations
-lam professional musicians, who 'Would naturally be most
interested in the introduction of such instrumente, and who
are the beat judges of their excellence. Such recommenda
tions have aireedy been given to them, to an extent unpar
alleled. Among those wbb hare proffered written testimony
to their admirable qualities and great desirability, and, that
they regard. them as UNEQUALIED by any other instru
