".‘lush property of the rebel Gov. :rament has been destroyed from inability to • move it, as appears from a partial list : 250,000 bs, of pork, 80 barrels of lard, 75 barrels of meat, 'O,OOO bushels of corn, 32 barrels of beef, 5 , f sugar, 5,000 empty sacks, 1 corn-mill, 10 wag. •fis, 1 on of tobacco, 18 mules, 2 warehouses of alt, and 2 extensive salt manufactories." Arkansas has taken the initiatory steps for esieration to the Union. The no State Con framed by the last, Convention has been ,i mo st unanimously ratified. Arkansas is thus ,eelared a free State. Gov. Isaac Murphy and he whole free State ticket is elected. Guerrilla 'ands made violent threats, nevertheless the ditzens were enthusiastic in their determination o vide the State back into the Union, many .oing to the polls'at the risk of their lives., The ,iiiitary authorities used every exertion to pro yet voters. The following is the order of President Lincoln calling for 200,000 additional soldiers: "Executive MansioN Wa shin Non, Aircir eh 15, 1864. In order to supply the force required to .be drafted for the Navy, and to provide an ado gnaio reserve force for all contingencies in addi tion to the five hundred thousand men called-for ebruttry let, 1864, the call is hereby made and a draft ordered for 200,000 men, for the military serrice of the army, navy, and marine eorpS of the United States. The proportional quotas for the different wards, townships, precincts, elec tion distrimp, and counties, will be made known through the ProvostMaribal General's Bureau, and an account will be taken of the credits and deficiencies of former quotas. The 16th day of April, 18(34, is designated as the time up to which the numbers required in each ward of a city, town, &c,, may be raised. Voluntary enlistments end (trails will be made in each ward of a city, town, which shall not have tilled the quotas assigned to it within the time designated for the numbers required to'fill.said, quotas. The draft will commence as soon after the 15th of April as Fact icald e." As matters now stand,' the. large Government bouNties will be paid until April Ist; after that until April 16th, but, $lOO bounty will be paid. It is not improbable that another order will be issued directing the continuance of the large bounties until the last-mentiorted day. Indiana, ou the let day of February last, had furnished her quota under all calls, and had an excess of 7,40 men, not inclnding.re6nlisted vet erans. To this excess is to be added the number of men mustered into the old anti new regiments since the Ist of February, and the number sup posed to be enlisted not mustered in, and a num ber of retinlisted veterans, in all estimated at 17,000, making the total excess about 24,000 men. Major General Lewis Wallace, of Indiana, has hem appointed Military Governor of the. Middle Geographical Department, consisting of Pennsyl vania, Delaware, Nev Jersey, West Virginia, and all of Maryland but that part of the State inclu ded in the Department of the Potomac, and will occupy the headquartera in the city of Balti more. Gen. Wallace has Served with di . atinction in West Virginia and the Southwest, and is ono of those decided men who have shown the most• determined hostility to the traitors, and the insti tution which, heretofore their strength, is now their weakness. The estimated force of the enemy nt the reeent fight at Yazoo. Gity was 5,000, and five guns. Two stern wheel boats were there, but could render no service without endangering our forces. The Bth Louisiana Colored Regiment lost eighty killed, wounded, and missing: The let Mississippi Cavalry lost fifty in wounded. Nine out of eighteen officers of the Bth Louisi ana were found dead. The effective force of the Army of the United States is now 200,000 more than it was one year ago. A detachment of the rebel army crossed the liappahannock at Frederioksbnrg, on 'Wednesday night, and the following day Col. Bryan, of the loth Pennsylvania Cavalry, captured twenty -of the party. On Friday morning a detachment of the enemy crossed at Norton's Ford and drove in the ith Michigan's pickets, but were subsequent ly repulsed and forced to re-cross the river. 'I here are other indications of rebel demonstra dolls which are not proper to 'be published. ,Sitinrt is massing his cavalry at Charlottesville, where he has three brigades, and at Fredericks burg, where he has two brigades. • Congressional,—The Gold bill 'has passed both houses, anti received the signature of the President. It is as follows: " That the Secre tary of the Treasury be authorized•to anticipate the payment of interest on the public debt, by a period not exceeding one year, from time to tittle, either with or without a redate of interest on the coupons, as to him may seem expedient; and he is hereby authorized to dispose of any gold in the Treasury of the United States not necessary for the payment of interest of the pub lic: debt, provided that the obligation to- create the Sinking Fund, according to the act of Febru ary 25, 1862, shall not be impaired thereby." We notice that Mr. Moorhead, of the 22d Penn'a district, voted for this bill, and Mr. Wil limas, of the 23d, against it. The passage of this bill has not yet lowered the price of gold, or stopped speculation in it, as much as was ex pected, though undoubtedly it will in the end do much to control this matter. The Secretary of the Treasury says that though he has little doubt that the act of Con gress, authorizing him to sell surplus gold, will tend to restrain speculation, and prevent sudden fluctuations, and that a judicious use of such Fewer may contribute to some desirable end, he :eels bound to add that, in his judgment, nothing can largely or permanently reduce the premium on gold, or even to prevent its increase, except a reduction in expenditure, by taxation, and a Oludnution in the volume of circulation. 'First, by discouraging all other than national currency, and secondly, by the gradual withdrawal of a port ion of the latter until speoie payment can be gradually resumed. The amount, 'appropriated in the late for the service of the Post Office Department for the year ending June 1866, and for inland service, is nonrly $8,000,000; for, foreign mail transpor tation, $20,000 ; and for ship, steamboat, and navy letters, $B,OOO. General,--A vessel arrived at Alexandria last Saturday, bringing back from the Island near Ilnyti, the remnants of the Oolony sent out in April last. The colonist failed to find things as they expected. The small pox broke out among them. The persons entrusted with the care of the colony mismanaged it Shockingly. Finally their hardships seemed so great that, the Secre tary of the Interior sent an agent to examine into their condition. Ills report determined the President to bring them at once, and a ship was sent out last February for them. Four hundred and twenty went out last April; three hundred and sixty-eight, including those born since, are ell that are left of them. This, and the revela tion that $1,6,000 out of the fund voted last yetir for colonization purposes by Congress got into the bands of the agent of the Chiriqui swindle, have pretty effectually ended the schemes of ne gro colonization for the present. The friends of General Fremont in New-York have brought his name prominently and formally before the people as a candidate for the Prest dency, At a meeting held last week in the Cooper Institute, New-York, the Democrats de clared in favor of Gen, PerCloilan. In the mean time, the great body of the Republicans seem determined to stand by the present Chief Nag itdrate. For the nine months of the financial year end ing June 80th, 1803, the Internal Revenue bf the United States, from all sources, was $38,158,703. This is much below the estimate previously funned, and the only remedy seems to be an in crease of taxation on articles of luxury. The , ii-position now is to limit taxation to a smaller Linaber of articles, but to increase the tax on t',ir•tn. This is the English method, and is prob itbiy the e9rrect one. The Supe; visors of the City of New-York Liive appropriated $2,000,000 more for bounties, ;der (lie 200,000 c 411; the quota of the city. having been made up ter the 600,000. • U. S. GRANT, Lieut.. Geueral, U. S. A Mr. Seward, in 185(3, ventured to predict that slaverrwould disappear from this Continent, and that the men of this generation would live to see it. The Prophecy only excited attention at the time on account of its apparent improbability ; hut it is now being realized with every assurance that it will be completely fulfilled within ten years from the time his words fell on the ears of an unwilling people.

Let every one now go to work, and aid. in every 'possible way in advanc-. log the interests of this benevolent Projeot for the benefit of our brave and suffering soldiers. General Burnside arrived' in Pittsburgh last Thursday night, and because of. the delay of the train, remained till Friday at noon. - He was -at tired in citizen's dress, having nothing about him denoting rank or occupation: In the course of the morning he visited the Fort Pitt Works, and at his'special request was taken to see the hall of the Subsistence CoMmittee, and the Sol .diers' Home, Tinder the management of this same noble Association. He was greatly delighted at the complete and ample arrangements the Com mittee have made for entertaining soldiers; and expressed his admiration in the most decided and emphatic manner. He goes West on business connected with the 9th Army Corps, of which he has been commander since its organization. This famous Corps is almost filled, up to the re: quired number, 60,000 men, and is •rendezvous ing at Annapolis, previous to starting on the "Special Service " for which it is destined. Friday afternOon, one hundred and sixteen rebel officers of Morgan's command, who have been confined , in the Western Penitentiary for the past six months, were forwarded to Point Lookout, under a strong guard of soldiers from the Provost Marshal's office. A rumor of their departure spread over the cities, and a large crowd of people gathered around the Peniten tiary to get a sight of the. rebels as they passed out. About two o'clock, Capt E. S. Wright, Provost Marshal, called the roll of prisoners, and marched them into the yard, where the guard had been formed in two ranks along the walk leading to the gate, under command of Capt. Griffith. 'The prisoners were placed in the centre, and marched to the cars which were in readiness on the South Common, where they embarked, and were taken to the outer depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad. . Five of these men having expressed a willing ness to take the oath of allegiance, wets left be hind.

When machines are %ought by persons living In the vicinity of any of the railroads, the service of the wagons are not required ; but, in Greene, Washington, Mercer, Butler, and those other cwinties not !woes sible by railroad, customers can only be supplied through this medium, and it speaks well for the foresight of Messrs. Sumner & Co. that they had the enterprise to meet the want. It also proves that the popularity of the Wheeler & Wilson Machine, and shows the esteem in which it is held wherever introduced. It is, indeed, a ma chine which will give even the most fastidious satisfaction, and as such we do not wonder that the demand for it is so great. The prices of the.

DlED—Near Port Byron, R.ooi Islatid'C'eamty, Illinois, on MaroW2d, .1864, of long fever, Mrs. ANNA DAY, wife of Abraham Day, aged fifty two years. Mrs. Day was the child of Pious parents, and was dedicated to. God by, baptism in her infancy. Her father, Mr. James Plumer, was a Ruling El der of Glade Run church, in Butler County, Pa., in which church she spent her ` 4 ehildhood - and youth under the ministry of Rev. Reed 'Bracken. Her religious training , was careful and. thorough. The pious teaching, example, and prayers of her parents and her minister were not in vain in the Lord, for she early gave her heart to God; and; shortly after her marriage to Mr. Day; in her eighteenth year,. elle made a, public profession of her faith in Christ, in the church of ; -Bull.-Creek, then under the pastoral care of Rev. Abraham Boyd. From the time of her Connection with the church until her death, she bore testimony to the exoelleney of the religion of Christ: Her piety was of that humble and retiring character which. Is seen and felt most in the humble walks of do mestic life. She was a faithful and devoted wife, a tender-hearted and prudent mother, and a kind and obliging neighbor. Her attachment to the doctrines of the. presbyterian Church; in which she was brought up, was strong and un-' wavering, though for the few last years of her life, owing to location, she had but few opportu nities of enjoying the public. means of grace, ilk the Church of her heart's preference. She loved the Sabbath and the sanctuary, the Word and the worship of God. Her delight was in religion and in religious conversation with those-in whem sbe hadreonfidence, as the writer of this brief sketch can testify, who had, as her dying re quest, the pleasant but mournful task of preach ing her funeral sermon. • Her end was peace. Death had no terrors for her, for Christ, her ransom, had robbed the mon ster of his sting„ and made her descent to the tomb one- of hope, and joy, and triumph. She left behind her a blessed testimony f o the pre ciousness of Christ in the dying hour, which will doubtless assuage the grief of the bereaved hus band and children, and reconcile them to a, loss which God alone can repair.

They are elegant as pieces of furniture, oocupyi little space, are not liable to get out of order, and every one is warranted for five years. The CABINET ORGANS, introduced about a year singe; and manuractured exclusively by MASON & HAMLIN,. have met with success unprecedented in the history of musi 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 then' is still rapidly ineressaindi and mu• t continue to increase as their merits 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 Ibis, they are admirably adapted to the performance of Secular as well as Sacred Music. - • The CABINE r ORGAN in essentially different from, an& a very great improvement upon all instruments of the Melo.- 'dem or flarmoiduin kind. Its superior excellence consists in many important characterietics, among which are: 1. The More organ-like character of its tone. 2. It, has greatly more power and volume of tone In pre pertion to its cost. '3. By the employment of a very simple and beautiful in vention. its capacity for expression. is made vastly greater than has over before been attained In such in run/eats. This indention is especially valuable, because dy any practice is necessary to render it available. An Binary rtormer can =niter it in an hour 'or two. • 4. It admits 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 Fret out of order. 6. It will remain in tune ten times as long as a piano forte. Sail' It may be reasonably said that if these instruments have the great and obvious superiority thus claimed for them, they must have received very warm recommendations from professional musicians, who would naturally be most interested in lhe introduction of such instruments, and who are the best judges of their excellence. Such recommenda tions have arrevrty been g iven 14 them, to an extent unpar elided. Arnmg those who have proffered written testimony to their admirable qualities and great deArabilfty, and that they regard them as ONEQIIALLED by any other instru ments rrf their claw, are each well known musicians as LOWELL MASON, THOMAS HASTINGS, WM. B. BRAD 'BORY,,ORORGE E. ROOT, ke.; the most distinguished or ganists tir the country, as (TUTLVitt, of Trinity church, W. Y.; MORGAN, ot.

MASON, MILLS, SAND rasorr, STItABOSCH. etc. In brief, more than two hundred musicians, Including a large portion of the most eminent in the country, have tes fied to this effect.
