JAMES, formerly of James' Hospital, 82 Custom-House street. New Or- leans. La., (established in1850,) has permanently located an office at SO Randolph street., Chicago, 111., for the treatmentof all Private Diseases. DH. JAMES cures-old Chronic, Mercurial,Syphil- itic, and all private diseases,without Iodide Potas- Bii, Mercury, Arsenic or Sarsaparilla, which poisons never did and never willcure or eradicate inocula- ted or cutaneous venereal diseases, but by a neutral - Izer, the same asDr. James used in his New Orleans practice for the last thirteen years. i Spermatorrhoea (involuntaryemissions) brought on by self-abuse, excess, or entailed hereditarily, cauBing loss of memory,imbecility and impotency, with all its deplorable train of symptoms, treated and radically cured by anew and infallible method, oavinsr both time and expense. Dr James is recommended by the NewOrleans and Southern papers, the medical journals, and some of the most eminent medical menof New Orleans and the Southwest. Thousands of testimonials could be produced ol consideredhopeless cases, and given up as such by celelnated doctors, that Dr. James has successfully treated,but delicacy of the subject prevents. The following is one of the many Dr. James is in posses- XDr.Wilson, of Pittsburgh, Pa., wrote a letter to Dr. Jordan, of Ciicinnati, Ohio, concerning Dr. James,Dr. Wilson knowing Dr. Jordan was ac- quainted with Dr James. Dr. J. H. Jordan was physician tothe Cincinnati Cholera Hospital during the summer of 1849, and was Professor of the Theory andPractice of Medicine, and of Materia Medica in the A mcrican Medical Institute of Louisville, Ky.,m 1850, 1851 and 1852. Dr. Jordan is now practicing in Cincinnati. Here ia the letter referred to:Cincinkaii, July 5,1862. Dr. Wilson : Dear Sir In answer to your in- quiries, I would say that I haveknown Dr. James, formerly of James' Hospital, New Orleans, and now of Chicago, 111., off and onfor the last twelve years, and I think I may safely say that, in his line of practice, I do not knownis superior, if his equal. I knew him two years in New Orleans, and three sum- mers in this city,and in both places I had occasion fteanently to recommend parties wanting treatment In that lineto him, and in every case, so far as I couW learn, he was successful and gave the moat Serfi>ctsatisfaction. He haa from the start made the ffltudy of what are called special diseases a specialty,and has, I believe, been most eminently successful. Itnow of no one to whom I would sooner recom-mend a patient or a friend needing treatment of that Mnd or for any of the kindred complaintsor chron Icdi'easeB which he has made his study, than to him" You can, I think, safely recommendor send arach patients to him in case you do not wish to treat ttem yourself. ? gionl)A^ M.

The subject of Rupture, orHernia, has long since attracted the attention of the medical faculty of both Europe and America, itbeing one of the most dis- tressing complaints which man is subject to be afflicted with. Until lateyears, the cure of Rupture or Hernia has been considered quite improbable, if not impossible. Whiletraveling through Europe in 1850, ard visiting different hospitals in search of information, Dr. W.gave special attention to the subject of Rupture or Hernia in their varied and complicated forms,which has enabled him to perfect remedies by which nine cases out of ten can be per- manentlycured, and furn sh signal relief to the very worst kind of Hernia or Rupture.

We have lately learned that certain Piano sellers,operating in this and neighboring states, having discovered that the splendid quality and reputationof the STEIN WAY Piano were not to be affected by any of the usual " tricks of the trade," have takenadvantage of the late family allliction of Mr. Steinway, Sr., in losing two of his sons, to state that theStelnways were dead, and that they (the dealers) are Belling, at very low prices, instruments madeby his principal foreman. We therefore wish to state as fallows: Eirsl That Mr. Steinway and threeof his sons are living and actively engaged in the business, with constantly increasing success andreputation. Secoiid That his late sons had taken no active part in the business for reepet tively oneand three jears previous to their death ; and K Third That we have Messrs.

The Urgent Mission from Mcxio to Napoleon. The Death andFuneral of marshal lftagnan. The Old Dead-House of Paris and its History. &c, The Fashions. &c, &0.Special Correspondence of The Chicago Times. Paris, France, Jane 3. The public mind in Paris is atthis moment profoundly exercised with regard to the mission ofM. Eloin, the confidential envoy ofMaximil. ian 1. of Mexico. The official papers have done their best to convince their readers that allis couleur de rose in Mexico ; that the chief of state selected by the wisest of sovereigns, our brotherto the sun, (Napoleon III.,) is the one prayed for by the Mexicans for centuries and acclaimed by themas their savior and regenerator ; but it is all no go. Even Le Moniteur was forced to publish the officialaccount of the defeat of the Belgian biigade, followed up by the assertion, however, that all losseswere retrieved by a glorious action in which the French were completely victorious. The marvelis, where there are to be found Mexicans over whom to achieve victory,_ for during two years theimperial organs have never ceased to declare the work of pacification as nearly ended, that a merehandful of refugees among the mountain passes were all that were left to resist ihe effects of thebenign institutions brought from this side of the water. M. Eloin's mission is a most pressing oneto the Emperor Napoleon to urge and entreat more men and more money from France. There islittle doubt that the emperor will be disposed to grant all that is asked of him, if he can be convincedthat the ulterior success of his favorite project of pitting the latter race against the Anglo-Saxonis dependent upon further as- sistance, but his majesty will undoubtedly find a tug of war at homeif lie attempts to play Ciesar on that point. The whole Mexican affair is unpopular here, and it willbe very hard to induce the people to submit tamely to be saddled with any more debts to prop upMaximilian's unsta- ble monarchy. The French emperor is visiting, in turn, all the principal cities andsettlements in Algeria, his last whereabouts being in a Bedouin camp, under a tent, in the midst offlocks and herds. His majesty is expected in Paris next week, where he will find an accumulationof business on hand requiring immediate attention. One of the most zealous of the servants of


the empire, Marshal Magnan, died on the 2!lth of May. The marshal was 74 years of age, but wasin vigorous health until a short time before his death, which was caused by an attack of acuteperitonetis. The marshal was commander of the forces of Paris, and enjoyed, besides, a number ofhigh dignities, which will now be bestowed upon various favorites of fortune under imperial sway.He was made master of the Free Misoni of Fiance, having been chosen ten year3 ago, at a time whenboth Prince H apoieon and the duke de Morney were aspirants to that honor. It is thought that Gen.Forey, the hero of the Mexi- ican campaign, will succeed the marshal as military commander in Paris.The funeral of the marshal, which took place yesterday, was a very grand military display, but wasnot conducted with the solemn pomp and ceremonial which accompanied the Duke de Morney'sremains to his last resting place. A great number of troops preceded the hearse. Immediatelybefore it were the commander, (ad interim,) Gen. Regnault St. Angely, and his staff. The hearse wasdecorated at the four corners by national flags. Next after came the marshal's horse, draped inblack, with some sort of functionaries in long black cloaks down to their heels, bearing cushions,upon which were deposited the insignia of the orders to which he belonged, covered with crape. Themarshal's son, Capt. Magnan, lately arrived from Mexico, led the mourners, (condensart le deuil,)as it is called here. It is the custom here for the nearest relation or the nearest friend to be dressedin a long black cloak, shrouding the figure, and to walk bareheaded in front of the corttge of thosewho follow on foot. A great number of persons walked in the procession man tiie Place Venflome(military headquarters) to the church of the Invalides, where the service was performed. A numberof mourning coaches and many regiments of military brought up the procession. By the marshal'swill his remains were conveyed to 8t. Germain, after the funeral services m Paris. Capt. Magnanbrought from Mexico a number of flags, standards and swords, captured by the expeditionary armyin 18G4 and 18(35. They will be formally presented to the emperor on his return from Algeria, andwill probably be sent to the Invalides to be placed by those received from Mexico on two previousoc- casions. The old Morgue (the dead house) of Paris is now completely demolished, a new onehaving been erected on an improved plan. The position of the new building is much found fault with;it is extremely conspicuous, and renders a former agreeable promenade nearly useless. Womenanc children cannot be supposed to be able to support the fearful sights which the proximity ofthis building to their daily resort must necessarily expose them. The old Morgue was built in 1804,and during its sixty year's existence received 23,000 bodies, of which about one-fifth were females.Like the criminal courts, the Morgue has had its celebrities. In the first rank must be placed LouiseLeroux, surnamedLa Belle Ecailliere, whose body, when exposed on the marble slab, attracted allParis to see it. The same occurred in 1827 for the Bergue d'lvry, killed by a man named Ulbach, whocarried his audacity so far as to go and see his victim when exposed. During the events of the 5thand 6th of June, (revo- lution of 1830) 78 pijrsons were carried to lhe Morgue. The most agonizingscenes of wives seeking their husbands, and mothers their sons, were witnessed at this time. Thecatastrophe of the Champ de Mars, 14th June, 1857, on the occasion of the marriage rejoi- cings


of the duke of Orleans, also caused numerous victims. Among 22 persons carried to the Morguewas one in whose pocket was found a dozen watches and a poignard. But of all the bodies broughtto the old Morgue since 1804, the one which excited the greatest curiosity and the most profoundinterest was that of young Joseph Anizet, whom the murderer Elicahade, since notorious for thecrime, had killed at La Villette by smashing his skull with stones, his body was carried to the Morgue,and all Paris went to see it. By a measure quite unprecedented in the annals of the Morgue, thecorpse was embalmed by the Gsnnat process, and being dressed in the clothos worn by the body,was placed, not on the marble slab, but on a little white bed, where it lay exposed for two monthsand a half before it was identified. The murderer was condemned and executed in Paris. The usualmanner of exposing a body at the Morgue Is to strip it of all its clothes, which are hung at the headof an in- clined slab; upon which the body is placed. The middle is covered with a shade of leather,or perhaps gutta percha strapped across the slab, and a small 6tream of water flows inces- santlyfrom the head to the feet, to preserve it from e ecomposition as long as possible. The prefect of theSeine, M. Haussman, finds that Paris, with its few thousand policemen, is not sufficiently protected,and there is now on foot a project for adding a guard of six hundred mounted policemen, auidea which does not find favor with the people. The chief po- tentates say that the outskirts areso far from the centre that a certain number of mounted men are necessary. The opposers sayit is no farther for the paid municipal officials to the outskirts than it is for the workmen, whohave been driven out of Paris by embellishments, to come in to their work, and that the moneywould be better employed in smoothing the path of the laboring classes. The Princess Dagmar, ofDenmark, has received from the emperor of Russia, whose son, the late grand duke, she was tohave married, the cross of St. Anne of Russia, and a pension of 40,000 roubles. It is believed in Paristhat Mr. Slidell has managed to secure his large estates in Louisiana by mortgaging them to Swiesand German bank- ers. Among the latter is Erlanger, who married Slidell's daughter. Several ofthe wealthy southerners in Paris, are rejoicing over the escape of their property from confiscationand ruin by their Mroit management during the war. The weather here is extraordinary. We havehad midsummer heat with but 6light interims sion, since the last days of March. Now we have aviolent thunder-storm and heavy showers about every twenty-four hours. The ladies would like ahint as to fashions, I suppose. Bonnets are the subjects of fashion's caprice just now. The empirebonnet is dis- placing the little fichu worn for a year, and long, narrow, floating veils of tulle (whiteor black) the tight, fitting mask veil. Dresses are worn in infinite modes ; it is impossible to saywhat is the fashion. The Princess Mettenich wore, at last Sunday's races, a toilette in her usual style:the bizaire a yellow silk petticoat, with s sky- blue eilk dress, looped up over it, a yellow basque, ablack straw " pork-pie" with red feather. Ladies noted for good taste were in soter colors, with gayfeathers in their hats merely. ______ Mbrital. The Pall Mall Gazette has the following: The Londoncorrespondent of the Independence Beige has just favored his countrymen with a sketch of life inour metropolis, as proved by the persual of the London newspapers for a single week. First, there


is a woman burned alive, in the midst of her drunken and stupefied companions at the close of alow orgie in a villainous house in Westminster. Next, there are two wives nearly murdered by brutalhus- bands, (one of whom attempts his own life,) and a furious assault by a man on his mistress.Another woman is seen one evening with a man In a boat on the Thames the man re appears alone;some days afterwards the corpse of the woman is found on the bank of the river. Then there is theconfession of Constance Kent as to the road murder. Two clergymen of the Eng- lish church abusethe confidence inspired by their sacred character to tempt the virtue of the females of their flock;one Is a vicar in the diocese of Norwich, and the other a popular London preacher. A civil courthas investigated a charge of seduction which surpasses in resolution, cowardice, and cold-bloodedvillainy anything in even that abominable story the "Farmer of Inglewood Forrest." In one of thePolice courts a woman glories in the fact that she brought to justice a lover upon whom she wishedto be revenged. A Lancashire manufacture, church-warden of his parish, director of several publiccompanies, and ex mayor of his borough, cuts his throat in a boat, and flings himself into the water,to escape the penalties of embezzlement and forgery. Nor is a touch of the grotesque wanting. Afarmer runs away with a curate's daughter ; his neighbors celebrate the exploit by copious libationsin his honor. A giddy young fellow writes to a lady asking an interview, iu order that heTsay learn herfeelings towards him. The lady's brothers keep the appointment in her stead, cudgel the Lovelace,and have to pay 80 for the joke. Such is the true picture of our daily life. No longer may we expeotthe brave Belgians to trust themselves among such savages as the people of Great Britain. Therevelations of English life which are made from time to time in parliament and threugh the press areastounding and almost beyond belief. While Exeter hall has its eyes fixed on Africa, India, America,anywhere but where charity is said to have its proper beginning, there are scenes of English lifeenacting year after year which would shock the Tejces and shame the Hottentots. The latest atrocityto which our attention has been invited is the practice in several English countries of workingchildren of both sexes in gangs in the fields aud brickyards. Theie children, from seven years old totwenty, are hired of their parents by the gangers or drivers, and then let out in 6quads or worked onjobs by their taskmasters. They live together, the older corrupting the younger, without educationor cure, like tribes of savages. Virtue, religion, decency, are unknown. Mar- riages are not thought of,and infanticide seems to be rather the rule than the exception, while promiscuity is encouraged toprevent its necessity. It would be hard to find in the world a system of slavery combining so manyhorrors as exist in the systems of agricultural labor in this free, prosperous, merry England. TheParis correspondent of the London Star writes: A charming anecdote of the empress has reachedme from Boston. A lady in very reduced circumstances, but who had once occupied a superiorstation, formed a collection of tie varied leaves of the magnificent trees for which the forests ofAmerica are so celebrated, and whose brilliant tints are well known to ex- ceed in vivid coloring eventhe foliage of tropi- cal plants. Part of this curious collection was placed In an album, and sent to oneof the Crowned he fids of F.nropA (t.hA qiinpn V). a precisely similar album being'sent by the same


steamer to the empress of the French. But the reception of the poor lady's offering at the courtsin question was very different. From the first arrived an acknowledgment, penned by an official,stating that" for once" the sovereign " had condescended to accept the offering, whicb, however, itwas hoped would not be considered as a precedent or encouragement for any future similar gifts."From the second the donor had the infinite gratification of receiving a lew lines from the pen of herimperial majesty expressing her surprise at the extreme beauty of the specimens contained in thealbum, qu'tlletrouvait mviescmU, and requesting the lady to accept the ring which she enclosed asa token of her revm- naissance. m ITEMS. well, with piomlse of more ttau an average yield.

IkMichigan all tae grain looks^xoeeding'y To the Editor of the Pittsburgh Commercial: Having beenrequested to state my theory of the origin of petroleum spoken of in several articles publishedin another journal, I do so in the following points: It is my belief that petroleum originates fromthe decomposition and slow distillation of sea plants, such as algse, &c, underlthe simultaneousinfluence off dry and hurried heat, pressure and salt water. This theory I base on the followingobservations: 1. Petroleum is now found in the upper Silu- rian, the devonian, and the carboniferousforma- tions of rocks, as, for instance, in Kentucky and other regions. 2. The existence of marineplants in the upper azoic, Silurian, dovonian, and carboniferous formations is admitted by Prof.Dana and most other urominent geologists. 3. In nearly every instance, where petroleum has beentakes from deep wells, the water that accompanies the flow of oil is impregnated with salt. 4. Theoils from bituminous shale and coal produces, when distilled at a low heat, naphtha or benzine,which, wien heated with nitric acid, yields nitro-benzole, a chemical combination, from which thebeautiful aniline colors can be made. 5. The naphtha or benzine of petroleum gives no compound,showing most positively a different origin from that of sbale or coal oils. 6. It is said that sea-weeds,when exposed for sometime to the influence of salt water, under great pressure and heat, are slowlydecomposed, and that oils similar to petroleum can gradually be distilled, giving a naphtha that isnot acted upon by nitric acid, yielding no aurilia. jfcWe.bave data of enormous coal beds all over theworld, the acknowledged remains of a most luxurious land vegetation andli is so unreasona- ble tobelieve that vegetation below the waters, that of t> oi ine plants, has preceded the land ve- getationon an equally grand and universal scale, forming an era for itself which I beg to call the petnKfercusera, extending through the various formations up to the most recent times ? It would give mepleasure to see the theory discussed by other men of science, and, if convinced to the contrary, Iam willing to acknowledge what is better founded. A. L. Fluuby. We are informed by a gentleman justfrom Clarion, that the oil well owned by the Penn- sylvania Salt company, at the mouth of Blyson'srun, on the Clarion river, seven miles above the town of Clarion, commenced to yield oil on Mondaylast. The well is a little over five hun dred feet deep, and was just tubed, and pumping begun, when


it immediately commenced to yield a large amount of oil,|of a dark green color, about like that ofthe large well on. Oil creek. It is not known how large a well this is, as our in- formant left before itwas properly tested ; but it is certainly a large paying well. The Clarion is rapidly becoming a great oilproducing region, and promises to rank with its adjoining neighbor, the county of Venango. Watson& Co., of Pittsburgh, have obtained oil in their well in Adams township, Coshocton county, Ohio, ata depth of nine hundred feet. In what quantities, however, we have not leaned. From the Smith'sFerry oil region we have the following : On Saturday evening, 3d inst., Mr. James Little struck oil in hiswell on Little Beaver, some two or three hundreds yards above its mouth, at the depth of 570 feet.The show was unusually fine. On Monday morning five bai rels were dipped out by hand. Prepara-tions are being made to tube and pump it, and it is thought by oil men that it will be found the bestwell hitherto struck in that locality. Some fix its capacity as high as fifty barrels per day. Oil has alsobeen struck in considerable quantity in the new well at Mafflt's Mills, on Rac- coon creek, on thesouth side of the Ohio river. The recent strikes have occasioned renewed activity about Smith'sFerry, and a number of new companies have been organized, and are commencing operations.Tne oil fever is rapidly spreading east of the Allegheny mountains. The Chambersburg Re- positorysays : Oil lands, like prophets, seem ta navehonor save in their own country. Foreign companiesare now boring for oil in Franklin, Bedford, Fulton, and Juniata counties, wLJê the citizens of thosecounties do little toward the enterprises beyond selling or leasing the lands. The Concord Imperialcompany is testing the lands of the estate of Alex. Invin, deceased, near Concord, and the JuniataInde- pendent Oil company, is boring on thasame land. We learn that large tracts of land have beenleased in the upper end of Path valley for oil purposes, and a Carlisle company is about trying itsfortune in the same locality. Tascsr rora qalley, Juniata county, is about to be bored for the preciousgrease, and several companies have located in Fulton coanty. The cities of Harrisonville have helda meeting, and resolved to bore a well immediately; a eom- pany is boring near McConnellsburg,and the Hancock company is testing thc Bowles farm near that place. We shall be glad to hear of thesuccess of any of these enterprises, but like Burn3 we " guess and fear." Among tie new oil wells inWest Virginia are : One on Reedy creek, heavy lubricating ; one on the California tract, Wirt county ;one one cm Horse Neck, and one on Walker's creek all reported to be good wells. A well has beaustruck on the Stephens farm, Thirieen-mile oreek, Easton i county, West Virginia, at a dep'ih of 160feet, in a hitherto undeveloped region. It belongs to the New York and Kanawha Petroleum com-pany. The boring began only a month ag^ It has not yet been thoroughly tested, but the indicationsare that it will be a paying well. From Ohio we learn that the well recently struck on tho. east forkof Duck creek, near Harrietsvillet is doing finely. The Blake well, on the west fork oi Duck creek, isnow being pumped and is yielding five barrels of oil per day. The|Noble County Republican says,in 6peaking of the west fork of Duck creek: "There are a large number oi wells being bored onproperty purchased by eastern companies, and quite a number have struck oil, but whether inpaying quantities has not, as yet, been fully determined," A letter from the superintendent Of the


Hard- wick Oil company, dated tbeâd inst., says: " I have got oil, plenty of it. Struck it last night at8 o'clock. It is running off iuto Red river, fiOttoa all night, aid. there |g no change iu it tbiR moriing.I believe every thing is aM right in Estill county, in regard to oil'. Hurry up tile tanks as soon aspossible." The prospect of a remunerative yield of oil in Indiana assumes more definite shape. Aflowing well is reported in Crawford county, from which seven barrels per hour have been pro-cured. By a Lafayette paper we learn that a company has been organized to bore for oil in Jenningscounty, and we learn from some gentlemen who recently explored the country from Indianapolisto Madison, that near Rock creek station, in the western part of the county, the indications are verygood. Our New Castle correspondent, under date of the 15th, says: " The canal packet Eagle hasbrought to New Castle twelve barrels of oil from the McBride well, on the Mahoning, which is heldat f40 per barred. There was a well struck on the Mahoning, in the McWilliam's hallow, last night,which is said to be a good on?."____________________ SOUTH CAROLINA. Lawfes Conduct of Negroeson South Santee.

FROM WASHINGTON. Orders f the Arrest Hood. of Ben. Danger of Starvation Amongthe Inhabitants. Charleston Correspondence (.lane 10) of the New York World. Tie condition of thingson South Santee, state of South Caioliaa, is such that it was absolutely necessary for the citizensof the parish to have a meeting and send a delegation to wait on Gen. J. P. Hatch, and present thenecessity of affoid- ing the white inhabitants protection from the blacks. This state of things hasexisted for several months, and the matter has been presented to Gen. Hatch ; yet no noticehas been taken and no protection afforded. The negroes are in a great state of disorgani- zation ;refusing to work under any orders coming Irom the owner of the land. Allotting to themselvespatches of land, which thev are working in separate bodies; no longer recog- nizing any authorityto compel obedience, they are breaking open the barns, stealing rice, bacon, coin, and provisions,killing the cattle in fact, behaving like any highway robbers. The unfortunate loyal inhabitants are ina deplorable condition, and no military commander with the head or the heart to appreciate theirsufferings and afford them the protection they hoped for from the flag of their country. The negroesvisited the plantation of the Rev. David Du Pre, aged over 70 years, battered his residence, took anold man from his house, whipped him with great severity, and took all his property broke open theplantation store- rooms, and captured every available article. Another band visited the plantations


of Mr. Skipper and Mr. Jackson, in the dead of the night, all armed, entered their houses, and ap-propriated to themselves everything available. Tbe residence of Mr. Stephen Doar was as- sailedby a band, and everything appropriated. His life has been threatened more than once, and it is atgreat ri6k he has been able to live up to this time. In endeavoring to protect a barn on one of hisplantations, which was being pillat'id, they fired on him, and he only escaped by tbe speed of bishorse. Such is the state of things in South Santee, one of the wealthiest, and, up to the arrival ofthe union forces the most flourishing parishes in the state. Had we a commander able or willing toenforce order, the inhabitants would still be able t exist in security; but we are without an protection,and it does seem as if the government intends to abandon us to every species of indignity, andcompel the people to leave their homes to the savages which infest fie country. There are partiesin Charleston, headed by " Red path," "French," "Saxton," &c, who are teaching the ignorant blacksthat thev are superior to the white man, and who are instil- ling the most lawless doctrines into theirminds, counseling them to murder, arson, and pillage, and furnishing them with arms, which aredenied the whites. Will the government at Washington not investigate these matters of complaint,and, before it be too late, arrest the parties that are sowing the seed that must generate into murderof innocence ? Had Gen. Hatch sent a small force up to Santee to enforce order, a crop could havebe en made, but now there is no hope left both whites ar-d blacks must starve together. B,. 33. leeand A. a.

Mr. Stephens entersat length in- to an apology or vindication, and among other reasons for his course, cites the factthat the New York Tribune advocated the rights of the s-uth em people to independence, and hetu led to believe it would be accorded them without war." FROM THE SOUTHWEST. Particulars ofthe Surrender of Brownsville. Archives of Alabama and Missis- sippi Recovered. New Yohk, June 17.The Herald's correspondents in the Gulf department furnish interesting accounts of the in- cidentspreceding, attending and following the occupation of Brownsville, Texas, on the 31st ultimo, by thenational troops under Gen. Brown. The rebel troops, previous to evacuating the place, mutinied,pillaged the town and made prisoners of some of their officers until their demands for the paymentof their back dues were complied with. The rebels left the day previous to Gen. Brown's arrival, notwaiting to be paroled, 01' to comply in any manner with the terms of Gen. Kirby Smith's surrender.Large numbers of them moved across the Rio Grande into Mexico, taking with them their arms.Their artillery they sold to the Mexican imperialists at Matamoras. It is said that the last of the rebelswere driven from Brownsville by Mexican residents, who organized a home guard for the preserva-tion of order soon after the evacuation commenced. It is said that the rebel genneral Magruder,as well as Kirby Smith, have gone to Mexico. The latter carried with him a considerable amountof money. On the ad inst. the rebel Gens. Kirby Smith and Magruder were received on board the


United States steamer Fort Jackson, Capt' Sands, off Galveston, when the articles of surren- derof all the rebel Trans-Mississippi forces- were signed by Gen. Smith. The next morning the rebelofficers were conveyed back to Galveston, and on the 5th inst., Capt. Sands and othar offi- cersproceeded up to the town, landed, received its surrender from the mayor, and once more un- furledthe national flag over the public baikling, in tbe presence of a large but undemonstrative and orderlyassemblage of the people. Gens. Sheridan and Canby were both still in New Orleans on the 10th inst.Ths former wa6 busily engaged in the organization and for- warding of his forces designed, for theoccupa- tion of Texas.

Washington Correspondence(June 14) of the New York World. Private letters from Havana describe the extraordinary dioplayof courtesy shown by ' \e captain general of Havana to the officers r* ma American fleet whiehrecently visited that city, to a desireon his part,to recinrocate the kind- ness 6hown to him by Mr.Seward, when our secretary of state signed the warrant for the extradition of Arguelles. Whateverkindness or token of consideration General Dulce may be- stow on our gallant tars, and howevergreat may be his feigned or real, admiration for our navy, all these manifestations will never equaland compensate what this government has done for him in that case. It is even said, in the cor-respondence I allude to, that he is not without a certain feeling of uneasiness as regard the stepsour government may ultimately take iu favor of the release of Arguelles. Certain rumors have cometo him from the United States, which would indicate that Mr. Seward, who has now his mind freefrom the burden imposed upon him by the suppression of the rebellion, seriously contemplatesinvestigating that question more closely, to see whether he has not been imposed upon by Spanish


authorities and to re- deem the wrongs (if wrongs there are) done the unfortunate victim of Gen.Dulce. The news received from Spain, as well as the warm interest manifested all over Europe inbehalf of Arguelles, will likely hasten the action of Secre- tary Seward in the matter, and be for himan incentive which he cannot neglect if he has a heart, and no donbt he has, to preserve unsul- liedthe reputation of his country for individual rights/and for justice. Meanwhile the friends of Arguellesin the United States are as active as ever In presenting his defense and demanding his release.An ex- aid decamp of Gen. Prim, and recently secretary of Arguelles, is publishing in New York, aseries of valuable papers, containing not only what purports to be proof of Arguelles innocence, butextracts of Spanish papers devoted to the defence of the latter, and bitterly criticising the captain-general of Havana for his conduct in this affair. As you have already been informed of the discontentproduced in Madrid by his treatment of Arguelles, has induced the Spanish cabinet to remove himfrom office, and to appoint as his successor, an enlightened and con- ciliatory man, Gen. Leisundi,ex-president of the cabinet; an excellent choice, which had the approval of all those who have atheart the honor and interest of the Spanish people. Gen. Lersunciwill arrive at Havana oh or aboutthe 20thinsv and will, it is hoped, immediately assume the functions of governor. FROM MEXICO.Wives, and Daughters of Mexican Generals Imprisoned. An Austrian View of Maximilian's Po- sition.A newspaper correspondent writing from Berlin, May 31st, says: Letters from Vienna mention thatMr. Motley has had an interview with Count Mensdorff, in which he gave the Austrian premier themost satisfactory explana- tions in reference to Mexico, and assured him that the United Statesgovernment had not the slightest intention to interfere with the domestic arrangements of thatcountry. It is added, however, that this communication was not mada by the American minister in hisofficial capacity, or in consequence of instructions from the president, but merely as expressing hisprivate opinion on the subject. The United States government have certainly no right to interferein the internal affairs of Mexico, but they hive a right to prevent other powers from interfeiing; andif the new imperial regime is sustained by French troops, or Austrian or Belgian volunteers, theimperialists cannot complain if the republicans are supported in the same manner by Americansympathizers, in which tase the throne of Maximilian is not likely to be worth many weeks' purchase.The last accounts from Mexico foreshadow the inevitable result of an attempt to engraft monarchicalinstitutions on American soil. The Belgian auxiliaries seemed to have fared as ill as the braves Bulgeshave invariably done from the battle of Wa- terloo to the rout of Hasselt; and the legislature atBrussels will probably enter an energetic protest against any farther participation in an enterprisefrom whieh their countrymen can neither expect to derive honor nor profit. As for AustriaytheMexiean adventurer has been unpopular there from the very outset. The press was unanimous indeprecating the idea of an Austrian archduke's accepting a crown from the hands of a man whohad just robbed his hoase of one of its finest provinces, and the clergy, who were the only partyfavorable to it, have been alienated since the by the decree of the new emperor confirming theconfiscatian of church property by his republican predecessor. What France may do is another


question, as tho honor of Napoleon III. is involved in the maintenance of his trans-Atlantic creation;but with this exception we may be pretty sure that whether an attack upon the resuscitated empireof Monteaoma proceeds from the American government or from American filibusters, not a fingerwill be raised in Europe to save it from destruction. A Vienna paper, the Volks Freund, states thatMaximilian is so fully aware of the precarious tenure by which he holds his power, and so completelysick and tired of the whc.le business, that he has made up his mind to abdicate, and may soon beexpected at Miramar. m Tne Approaching Elections In England Baron Erlanger and tbe Slidells. Anewspaper correspondent writing from Lon- don, June 3d, says : The preparations for the electionshere are going on steadily, and I do not doubt that the liberals will have the majority in the newparliament; for though the con- servatives have been straining every nerve to secure success, Icannot conceive that the people will be so blind as to allow them to resume the reins of office. Iam informed that Mr. Erlanger, who married Miss Slidell, is, if not a bankrupt, at any rate a ruinedman, in reputation as well as in fortune ; ami I may mention to you to complete the history of thisaristocratic alliance, that the old Baron Erlanger, his father, was only a clerk in a Frankfort housesome few years ago, when, by a lucky chance, he called on a certain Mr. Roed- ersr, a dealer In ices inthe Goether Platz, in that town. Mr. Roederor, at the time in question, held a ticket in the Frankfortlottery, which, owing to a great number of drawings having already taken place without the chiefprize liaving been gained, was of course at a considerable premium. This ticket Mr. Roederer offeredto Mr. Erlasger in payment of a small debt. After considerable hesitation it was accepted, andturned out to be the winner of the great prize of about one hundred thousand dollars, which sumof course Mr. Erlanger got. With this money Erlanger bought up, under another name, certain goodclaihis against the house he was clerk in, and by pressing them compelled the house to wind up,when he, with his capital, stepped in between his former employers and their creditors, and thussecured the business to himself. 2?om Eighty ta One Hundred Pa- triots Shot Dr.jly.

From the Detroit Free Press, June 18. A venerable sinner, rejoicing in the nameof Paul Nestler, was advanced one stage on the way to Jackson yesterday, for forging an order onthe American Express company a short time since, purporting to come from one Mrs. Smith, who


then lived in Windsor, for about $300, which was sent to her from Ohio. Nestlerrit appears, livednext door to Mrs. Smith, and one day before crossing to this city, was requested by her to call at thepostoffice for letters. He did so, and retained one, Btating to Mrs. S. that there was nothing for her.This letter contained a no- tification that the money had been forwavded, and from it he receiveda cue to the crime which he afterwards committed. He wrote an order in German, purporting tocome from Mrs. Bruit!), that he wa0 her husband, and Was Gen. Ice Indicted by tiie Norrolk (BrandJury ' From the Richmond Republic, June 19. It has bsen for some time reported that Gen. Lee wouldbe indicted by the grand jury of the United States District court held at Norfolk. Several prominentcitizens of Richmond, sum- moned before that court as witnesses, have been pexmi'.ted to returnhome after testifying before the grand jury, by whom no questions were asked them relative to Gen.Lee. It is, boweyer, probable the grand jury had gotten such information as they desired from otherwitnesses, as we understand Maj. Walter Tay- lor, Gen. Lee's adjutant general, had been previouslyexamined by them. The grand jury were discharged last Thursday, having found, aswelearn, truebillsin forty indictment against various individuals, mostly for treaj presumed from the nature ofthe in terror put to the witnesses. The Norfolk papers do hot publish the indictments or give anyother fact concsming the court, except that the grand jury bad been discharged. Judge Underwood isnow In this city, and vie presume lrom that fact that this court has adjourned, at least tempo raiily. _Burglary at Springfield. Si'Ringfisld, June 16.

dispatches this morning are contained on the fourth page. THE LEADERS OF PUBLIC 8E.VTIMEXT.If the most accurate measurement of genius is the degree of success with which it imposes itselfupon communities or nations, perhaps the three iLdividuals in this country who have given mostconvincing proofs of its possession are Calhoun, "Webster and Phillips. We name Calhoun first,because he most positively influenced the greatest number of Individuals and fashioned thepoli- cies of the greatest number of ^states. There has been less conflict of opinion in the southin the acceptance of his views, than in the nsrth as to the correctness of the opinions of Websterand Phillips. We speak simply of their advocacy of doctrines touching constitutional rights and thenecessity of maintaining the union of the states. The ideas of Calhoun relative to secession havebeen overthrown by force. They never can again in this country obtain a prominence which willenable them in a perceptible degree to influence the conduct of the general government but thedesperation and magnitude of the' struggle waged for and against them are indis- putable evidenceof the depth and tenacity with Which they had rooted themselves in the minds Of millions. Thesouthern people rallied to their defence with a courage and devotion such as has only been shownby zealots maintaining a creed which they deemed it a religious duty to upheld and propagate,under the most dis- c uraging and adverse circumstances. The p:inciples of Calhoun spread with asregular a. growth after his death as during his life. There was a vitality in them which was seeminglyunaffected by the absence of his eloquence aid statesmanship, a self executing force which left itsimpress upon the minds of the majority of the statesmen of the south whom they were speciallydesigned to influence. The secret of their power was their adaptation to the strengthening of asingle institution upon which the wealth of the south was supposed to depend, and their indirectappeal to an ambition which saw in the dismemberment of the union an exclusive possession andextension of empire which included half of one of the first conti- nents and a capacity fairly to seatitself upon the most desirable portion of another. His doctrines were addressed to the pride andpassions of men. They were not based upon any great moral, political or religious truth. Indeed,tbey assumed the divinity of an institution which the moral sens* of the enlightened portions of theworld condemned, and their weakness hereiu is one of the most remarkable proof* of the geniusof their author. He made slavery reputable, and enlisted the church in the south as its championby bis advocacy of protection with which it had been surrounded by lawgivers who condemned itsmorality and deplored its existence. A million and a half of soldiers have overthrown his theories,and we are called upon to day to choose between the opinions of the two men who were the mostdetermined op- ponents of himself and of each other. The g-eat question to day, to be decidedby the American people, is whether the expositions of the constitution which Webster gave in hiscontest with Calhoun and his disciples Bhall be adopted and enforced, or the contempt for con-stitutional obligations taught by Phillips shall prevail, to the end that the rights reserved to the statesmay be blotted out by irresponsible power. Whatever difference of opinion may exist among theconservative element iu the nation concerning the correctness of Webster's political teachings


considered as a whole, there is none as to the soundness of his interpretations of the characterand powers of our government. There is none as to the necessity of preserving It unimpaired. Uponthese poiuts he stands out as distinctly the leader of conservative sentiment as Calhoun did as theleader of the secession element. He stamped his impress on the public mind upon all questionstouching constitutional obligations. It was so deeply graven that its !r.ipress could only be effacedby a total de- rial that such obligations exist. Phillips has cade this denial, and on it has marshaledthe ri publican party. That party, while it professed tr repudiate his doctrine, practically enforced it,and while it professed to regard him as visionary ai d seditious, has steadily advanced to the posi-tions marked by him for its occupation. Gen- erally consistent, always shrewd, with c;i eater ability,as much honesty, and more I iTscverance than any member of the party, he uifcte its course witha sublime assurance that <p batever hesitancy may attend its first entrance t ron it, will be morethan compensated by the L-is'eof the march after it is begun. It is his fcul which is marching on. Itwas his soul y bich inspired Brown at Harper's Ferry, and it it> his soul which furnishes inspirationfor every assault made by sincere bigotry upon the constitution and rightful workings of ourgovern- ment. There are demagogues with him, but not of him, who make such assaults. Theyreceive inspiration from motives as sordid as his are -use I fish, and from an ambition as vile as thepirit that prompts him is elevated. If the ad- ult crs of Calhoun and Webster think that in- ustice isdone to them by bringing them, into ' inparison with Phillips, we ask them to re- i iiber the criterionby which we have meas- , id them and candidly Inquire n there is not just reason to apprehendthat his fanaticism has now attained a greater strength in the northern states than had Calhoun'sin the south when Major Anderson was driven from 8umpter? EDUCATION, ARBITRATION ANDSTRIKES. The Engineer (periodical) of England uses the following language with reference to the useof machinery in this country : " Owing to this adaptation of machinery it is that weare * whipped'by America in nearly every lu- dnetry in which, by natural disadvantages, manufacturers in thatcountry have not to encounter insuperable diflicalties. In this we have much to learn from America,and until we have learnt it, the English artisan who has had the advantage of even a tolerably goodtraining in a national or British school will not drudge at home." Among the most prominent reasonswhy labor in this country is much less brutalized than in England is the fact that we perform bymachin- ery a majority of the work that is done in that country by muscle. There is perhaps anotherand an anterior reason, and that is found in the circumstance that education is more prevalentin this country than in England, and hence we develop a high inventive ability whose result is thediscovery and employment of machinery for almost every operation of life. The elevation of theworking classes in this country, as compared to those of Europe, affords in its cause a lesson whichshould not be forgotten by laboring men. It is that the value of labor depends largely upon itseducation, and not upon combinations. The history of the great lockout among the iron mastersof England demonstrates the complete futility of combinations, both on the part of laborers oremployes. There was a strike on the part of the former and a lock-out on the part of the latter, which


last- ed for some months, and whose result was that the laborers finally yielded, after both partieshad suffered an Immense loss. In any contest between capital and labor, the latter, in a ma- jorityof cases, must go to the wall, for the reason that it lacks the endurance possessed by the other.Possibly both may suffer equally, but labor will the sooner yield, because its suffer- ings are, in aprolonged contest, of a character that includes the necessities of existence. As American workmenare, through education, many degress above the English laborers, so can the same workmen liftthemselves above the necessity of submitting to low rates of wages by a still higher education.The more he is educated, the farther does he pass from the region in which inferior workmanshipendeavors to overcome immutable laws by combinations. Skilled labor is always in demand, andwill be well remunerated at times when the average of labor is receiving only enough to barelysustain existence. The remedy, therefore, for strikes and low wages, is simply education. Let ourmechanics know this, and if too late in life to use the information for their own benefit, let thememploy it for the benefit of their children. During the next few years there will be a vast immigrationof muscle to this country, and if he does not wish . to compete with this, the American mechanicshould educate himself for a higher department. Having before pointed out to workingmen thatwages are largely dependent on the amount of active capital in a country, it is to be hoped thatnone of them will allow themselves to be seduced into any operation which attempts to force upthe value of labor. A strike, by with- drawing a large amount of labor from the market, temporarilyincreases its value; but the moment the strikers resume work, the supply overbalances the demand,and its value must depreciate, or employers must pay more for it than It is really worth. There arcisolated cases in which questions may arise between employers and employes ; and then, in placeof a strike, we suggest the submission of the matter to arbiters composed of an equal number ofselections made by each party. In this way amicable relations can be sustained ; there will be nouseless attempt to render inoperative the action of unchangeable laws, and, moreover, there willbe no loss to either party from a cessation of labor. These things are suggested because an ap-proaching period of low wages seems likely to be productive of these useless and wasteful sti ikes.We do not want to see our workmen misled by ignorant agitators. Lot thorn understand that aseason of low wages is inevitable ; and furthermore, let them understand that organizations tostop work only produce much present evil and no present or future good. Let arbitation take theplace of strikes ; and let education supersede the necessity of extraneous and useless effortsto force the value of wages- The Times on Saturday indulged in some very natural and justifiablesatisfaction over the great generosity of Chicago in the matter of charity. Having shown the existenceof a vast amount of charitable feeling in this city, it will not be inappropriate if the same sheetshould suggest a few practical details in the direction of this feeling. Any given attempt will succeedmuch better when the action is organized and the end is sought to be reached by systematiceffort. As early as possible, we should institute a mite society for the benefit of the more pressingcases of freezing and starvation which take place in Chicago. Such a society should meet as often


as once in five years, and funds should be secured by nailing up boxes on the street corners, intowhich the benevolent might put their offerin/ys. A capable man as treasurer might be secured ata salary of $6,000 per annum, the amount to be taken from the funds contributed by the public.The remainder of the funds should be divided equally among the starvirg and freezing cases, at theregular meeting of directors every five years. A series of fairs should be at once inaugu- rated, havingfor their object the employment as directors, managers, See., of such worthy people in Chicagoas have the disposition, but not the means, to be charitable ; and who, in consideration of sharingequally the profits of these enterprises, would be willing to assume their entire management. Bygetting the articles for nothing of liberal merchants, and selling.them at a reasonable valuation,a few industrious and charitable ladies and gentle men could be secured a not insignificant andpermanent competence. We should establish at once a system of char ity having for its object therelief of aristocratic suffering. This system, like the end In view, should be thoroughly aristocratic,and should therefore be limited to the six or eight families of that persuasion in Chicago. Perhapsthe best way in which the thing could be kept exclusive and recherche would be for these six or eightfamilies to exclude by vote the attendance or participation in the affair of anybody else. An- otherway to secure this end would be for these six or eight families to keep the projected at tempt quiet,not letting the rest of the world know it; or else they might put the price of en trance at $5 per ticket,and sell the choice of seats by auction to the highest bidder. This last named method is perhaps theone best calculated to effect the end in view of keeping away all the rest of the public save the sixor eight above mentioned families. We might further suggest the organization of a system by whichgenerals and others wishing to present themselves with a house and lot, or a good gold watch, orany other little token of the public esteem, can be assisted to do so by the charitable citizens ofChicago. There are many other details ol a finely working system of charity whose mention will bede ferred until those already suggested are put in practical shape. The New York Times, following asuggestion made by an occasional correspondent of a Phila- delphia newspaper, says that PresidentJohn- son will have the right to reject the constitutions framed by the conventions in North Carolinaand Mississippi. We think the Times will ex perience some difficulty in convincing the president ofthe extent of his authority on this point. The constitutions framed by the conventions will not besubmitted to him for acceptance or rejection. The people of the states will pass upon the labors ofthose bodies, and the president will have exactly the same power in the premises as he would 6veft-he action of a constitutional convention in New York or Illinois. If the delegates to the con- ventionare chosen in accordance with the provisions of his proclamation providing for reconstruction, hehas no jurisdiction over them or their acts other than what he would have over similar bodies inany of the states. He so understands, and in effect declares, in remitting the question of suffrageto the conventions, asserting their power over it to be one " which the people of the several statescomposing the federal union have rightfully exercised from the origin of the government tothe present time." By his showing, where is his veto power over this question, and if he may not


Intervene here, upon what question may he exercise such power? It is folly for the aboli- tionists todelude themselves with the hope that the president will interfere with the state governments hehas assisted to re-establish. His declarations concerning their rights are too ex- plicit to warrant anyexpectation of that kind. Those newspapers of the republican party who demand the punishmentfcf the leaders of the rebellion are guilty of gross ingratitude, while those who are mercifully inclinedmani- fest a proper appreciation of favors received. It must be remembered that the Tribunes of theprees claimed these men as their allies in the first election of Mr. Lincoln, and for republicans to asktheir extermination now is simply monstrous. The democracy, whom the rebels betrayed, are notinclined to be severe on more than two or three of them. Then our republican fellow-citizens shouldremember the tender affection expressed for them by these culprits during the rebellion. "Give us,"said one of the most prominent of the rebel newspapers, "men like Sumner, Wade and Stevens; theycur?e the old union, and hate it, and so do we." Is such sympathy to be forgotten now ? Is the allianceand friendship of those men by which the "union" party obtained possession of the governmentnow to be repaid by executing them ? The New York Tribune, in pleading for their exemption frompunishment, proves that it is not forgetful of its obligations to them, and its namesakes and generalimitators should be shamed by its example. S. S. Hates, Esq , of this city, has been appointed to avery important position by the secretary of the treasury, under the following provisions of an act ofcongress approved on the 3d of March last: " Sec. 19. And be it further enaetea, That the secretaryof the treasury is hereby authorized to appoint a commission, consisting of three persons, toinquire and report, at the earnest practicable moment, upon the subject of raising, by taxation,such revenue as may be necessary, in order to supply the wants of the government, having regardto, and including, the sources from which such revenue should be drawn, and the best and mostefficient mode of raising the same ; and to report the form of a bill; and that such com- missionhave power to inquire into the manner and efficiency of the present and past methods of collect-ing the internal revenue, and to take testimony in such manner and under such regulations asmay be prescribed by the secretary of the treasury. And such commissioners shall receive for theirservices three hundred dollars a month for the lime neces sarlly employed, and their necessarytraveling expenses." Mr. Hayes, who was several days since invited by the secretary of the treasuryto pay a visit to Washington, has been appointed one of the commissioners above provided for.The consequence of the office is at once comprehended by every reader, and the eminent fitnessof Mr. Hayes to fill it is understood by every person who knows him. We have not learned who arethe two other appointees, but they are of course taken from different sections of the country. Mr.Hayes represents the great west, with whose interests he is familiar, and whose relative rights hewill intelligently aud carefully guard. The west is fortunate in its representa- tive. In discussing somereforms by which the Thames has been purified, and the air of Lon- don freed from offensive gases,the Times,.iLon- don) says: " In the advance of our civilization and knowledge, processes and resultsinjurious to certain portions of the people are engendered, yet a judicious appli cation of science can


provide a cure for them, and it only requires the will to produce the remedy." What is true of Londonand the Thames is true of Chicago and Chicago river. It only re- quite s the will to produce theremedy in Chi- cago precisely as it did in London. The moment that our citizens unitedly determineto abolish the stenches of Bridgeport, and to .cleanse the river, that moment will science pro- videthe means. But until this unity of sentiment occurs, nothing win be done. One of the abolitionnewspapers of this city makes some unfounded charges against Mr. El- lison, chief quartermasterat this point. The charge is that he is in the habit of charging a percentage on the liquidation ofvouchers. The truth of the matter is, that the attack is of a political character, and arises from thefact that Ellison outrages abolitionism by supporting democratic measures and nominees. Thefact n illation to the vouchers is, that the percentage complained of is charged by one of the citybanks, and not by the quartermaster. If Ellison wishes to collect a percentage on the presentation ofthese vouchers, he must first ally himself with the " loyal" party and its inteiests, and he may then,unchallenged by blackmail loyalists, charge as large a shave as he pleases. Mb Chables Walsh, of thiscity, convicted by the late military commission at Cincinnati of having been concerned in a conspiracyto release the rebel prisoners from Camp Douglas, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment,has been pardoned by the president. This clemency is timely. President Johnson has the right viewof the matters involved in that conviction, and has been quick to undo a thing that never shouldhave been done. AMUSEMENTS.

Their auc- cess In the eastern cities has been a renewal of the best traditions of theclassical age of English dramatic art; and their visit to Chicago will, along with the inauguration ofthe Italian opera, honora- bly distinguish the finest year In the history of this city. Beyond all doubt,this is the fareweH visit of these artists to this country. Mr. Kean is now verging close on threescore years, and his ample means will second the natural promptings of approaching age to retireBoon from the stage, and spend his later days in rest and quietness. Not one in a hundred of thosewhose habits would lead them to see these artists, will ever have the opportunity again; and tosee or not to see, Is emphatically the question.

Tothe Editor of The Chicago Times: Mr. Commissioner Lewis has, on the eve of his retirement fromoffice, made one or two decisions which, for a display of ignorance of the plainest rules adoptedin the construction of laws, and for the unnecessary and aggravated character of the in- juriesinflicted upon innocent persons, have no pir allel among judicial records. The first decision is, thatall whisky and no mat ter whether It has paid the duty or not which has been distilled by or for adistiller who has com mitted frauds upon the government, and in whose hands soever the samemay b?, is absolutely forfeited to the United States. The absurdity of this holding appears not onlyin the face of the proposition, but is clearly sustained by the law itself. In the first place, to protectthe rights of the government in the matter, it requires from every distiller a bond (fixed, I believe,at one hundred thousand dollare) to the effect, among other things, that he will keep a correct andtrue account of the numbers of gallons of spirits distilled by him; that he will not remove or sell


spirits before inspection; and that, after such inspection, he will every ten days, or within five daysthereafter, make correct returns of the pro- duct of the still, and pay the duties thereon. This is inpursuance of the 53d section of the act. The 55Ui section makes all unpaid duties a lien upon thedistillery and other property of the distiller. The government now appoints an inspector, whoseduty it is to gauge all spirits distilled, and to mark and brand every barrel in a specified mari- ner.Thus it is clearly and distinctly shown that the collection and payment of these duties are .matterswholly and solely between the government and the distiller. The evidence of this Is in.the taking ofthe bond to guard against frauds; in making the duties a Hen on the diBtiilery; in appointing andtaking the control of the inspector; the branding of the barrels; and further and stronger still, theprivilege given to the distiller to pay his duties within fire days after inspection, and after renderinghis accounts, or fifteen days in all, and in the meantime permitting him to remove and disposeof the spirits in any way he chooses. And it shows conclusively that the government did not intendto follow the spirits after they were duly irspected and had left the possession of the distiller. Thisposition is fortified by the 4sth section, which declares that any goods, wares or meichandise, onwhich duties are imposed by law, which shall be found in the possession of any person for thepurpose of being sold or removed in fraud of the revenue laws, or with the design to avoid paymentof duties, may be siezed, &c.,and should be forleited to the United States. They must be held withthe design to defraud the revenue laws. Unless there is such a design, there can be no forfeiture,and it has never been claimed by the government that there was any of this seized whisky held byany person with any snch design. The 68th section, under which these seizures have been made,declares that the owner, agent, or superintendent of any still, who shall refuse to make returns,entries, &c, shall forfeit for such neglect and refusal all the liquors and spirits made by or for him.He shall forfeit. Who? Why, the owner, agent, or superintendent. Now, as this whisky was all inthe hands ot outside parties, who hiwi no connection with the stills or distillers, how can it, evenby the broadest construction, by the greatest possible latitude, be understood to forfeit an articlewith which the agents, owners and superintendents were no longer connected. There is not theshadow of a doubt about this question; he the agent, owner or superintendent shall forfeit; thisis .the language. Can this agent, owner or superintendent forfeit another man's property. Also, hereare the inspector's marks upon the barrel a muniment of title which warrants it in the hands ofevery man. Five, ten or fifteen days ago this whisky was inspected by us. We permitted it to passout of the hands of the distiller upon the open market, we looking to him for our duties, taking allprecautions and sufficient guarantees that the duties would be paid. They are not paidj and we nowgo back and declare your whisky forfeited under a clause in the law which plainly only forfeits thegoods of another man, i. e. the distiller. It is scarcely worth the ammuniton to proceed any fartherin the explosion of this most weak and ignorant decision of the commissioner. He lays great stressupon the fact that by the law the declaration of forfeiture is absolute of the property, and not In thealternative of the property or its value. If the commissioner had read the 180th section in connection


with the 68th, it is a possible thing that he might have discovered the absurdity of this assertion.This section (180th) declares " That if any person liable or required to pay any tax upon any article,goods, wares, manufactures, etc., as herein provided, shall sell, or cause or allow the same to besold, before the tax thereen is legally liable to be paid, with the intent to avoid snch tax or in fraudof the revenue, any debt contracted In the sale of such articles (i e. the price for which the ar- ticlewas sold) shall be absolutely void, and the collection thereof shall not be enforced in any court,"&c, i. e unless the same shall have been transferred to the hands of an innocent holder. Now thisclause of the law not only declares that the price of the goods shall not be collected by the seller,but that the innocent holder of goods so sold shall be protected under the law. Then this sec- tiongoes further, and absolutely declares "that if any such articles, on which the revenue duty has notbeen paid, shall have been paid for by the purchaser, the amount or price thereof shall be deemedforfeited by the seller to the United Stales." There can be no mistake about this language; it is plainand decisive of this question, and any man of common intelligence, if he has but one eye, can seethat the law does declare a forfeiture in the alternative of the goods or their value, for it says; thatif the goods are sold in fraud of the revenue, the seller shall forfeit the price aud value thereof, andthere is not a word to be found in the law which even tolerates the suspicion that such goods maybe taken in the hands of innocent holders, or that they are forfeited by any other person than hewho com- mits the fraud. On a recent occasion, at the request of the board of trade of this ciiy, thewriter laid all of these arguments before the commissioner of internal revenue at Washington,and exhibited to him the ruinous effects he was producing in the nnsettlement of all commercialvalnes and the disturbance of the laws of trade by such various constructions of the statute. Theattention he paid to the arguments is seen in his recent decision. 1 intended to call the attentionof the public to another decision of the commissioner, failyequalto this one in its absurdity and theignorance displayed in tbe construction of law, 1. e., that in reference to the tax of six per cent, onmanufactured whiskies ; but the length of this communication seems at present to forbid It. And ,1will, with your permission, avail myself of the opportunity, at an early day, to endeavor to settle thatquestion also. Respectfully yours, GEO. A. SHUFELT, JR. LIQUORS^ ^/ # T.

THE CITY. THE FAIR.

I Seventeenth Day. Matters and Things of General Inte- fe Srest. The Closing Days of the Exhibition-Gossip of the Fair---An Anony- mous Rhapsody---Scenes and Sayings in Union Hall, Great Excitementover the La- dies' Dressing Case. The Aggregate Receipts. There is nothing new or original to sayabout the fair. It has now nearly reached its third week and may therefore be said to be in its dotage.The sub. jject has become as tedious as a twice-told tale. Everybody has seen it, everybody hastalked about It, and everybody feels that there is little more to be said or done or thought about thegreat exhibition. It must not, however, be implied by this that the public are altogether weariedof the fair. There are many people in the city who will simerely mourn the final breaking up of sopleasant a promenade, and there are not a few young people around the booths who just nowprofess to be tired of their labors, but who will nevertheless miss the op- porttiities which have beenafforded to them for exercising their attractive powers. Apart altogether fremthe philanthropicobjects for which the fair was originated, it has been a perpetual holiday for the citizens, and on thataccount, alone, it cannot fail to be remembered, for many years to come, with pleasant feelings.Already one wedding has been celebrated within the building, and the fact is rather Buggestivc. Howmany joyful events of the like nature are likely to spring out of this millenial season ! A good dealof flirtation, say the elder ladies, " on, and they shake their ancient curls, : ", at the young people.Now flirtation docc ,. ays mean nothing, and doubtless maDy an old John Anderson, sitting in hischimney-corner after he has reached the bottom of the hill, may look kindly over to his " winsomemar- row" and recall to her how they first met.and looked a nd overcame each other at the greatSanitary fair, The reduction in the price of admission tickets drew a large crowd of people to thebuilding on Sat- urday, and the consequence was that business was considerably brisker than usual.


The raffling system is now in full force, everywhere, with the exception of one or two booths of therigidly righteous kind, who remain staunch to their conviction that a lottery is an invention of Satan.Most of the goods bow being sold are sold by means of lotteries. People are less disposed to buynow than before, When they can get a chance at some valuable article for a email Eum, and agreatmany seem to be re- serving their purses until the evening sales begin, when great bargains may beanticipated. Tho only departments which do not seem in the east to suffer are the restaurants. Icecream, lem- onade, strawberries, and all the other delicacies of the season, are daily consumed to asurpriatng extent. Jacob's well seems to have no bottom, and e two fair Rebeccas, notwithstandingtheir mon- trous costume, which is certainly not becoming, eem to attract a fair show of custom. Tworeal swan-, have lately been imported into Floral hall. *hey are fine specimens, and add considerablyto *ne charm of the scene. Has any one, by the way, been able to discern the meaning or purpose ofthe large bird cage, which sits untenanted beside the lake near (he rustic bridge? It cannot be a con-servatory, for there are no flowers in it, and It cannot be a bird cage for not a solitary warbler hasever been seen or heard. Probably it is an adver- tisement, and has the maker's name displayed ina conspicuous place. In Union hall there are a great many new pictures and engravings to be seen,all of which are rapidly disappearing by means of the lotteries. The fine engravings of ' Washington'sHome," Church's "Heart of the Andes," and others, of which men tlon'naB already been made, arenow exposed for raflle and the " quota" is being rapidly rilled up. The. visit of Gen. Sherman, anel thereturned regiments excited a momentary excitement in Union hall on Saturday, but on the wholethe proceeding < were quiet throughout the day, although the attendance was large. Daring thelatter part of tie afternoon, winch was exceedingly sultry and oppres- sive, there vas a considerablefalling off. In th 3 evening there was an imnieace influx of visitors, owing principally to the excitementcrea- ted by the final disposal of the famous dressing case. An Anonymous Rnapsody. The following,written upon rough paper with a pencil, was picked up near one of the booths in the lower endof Union hall, and seems to be a portian of a diary kept by one of the fair attendants, and whichhaving been dropped was found by our re- porte r. Like the many of her sex, the lady who perpetrated these reflections, does not take quite so flattering a view of ladies in general as is usual- lytaken by gentlemen. Publicity is given to the contents of these leaves that the writer may knowthey are safe and into whose hands they have fallen.

I find this quota- tatioii that beean a letter written some time since bythe. hero of my first proposal, a blase, " traveled" villlan, who tried to brean my foolish little heart,and when he couldn't, dubbed me "aflrrt by nature," etc. Ah, well! I forgive him 1 He is married now.Vengeance is satiated with the prospect! Peace to his memory! Waat an excellent place this boothis for writing! Articles all marked up to so enormous a price that persons won't buy anything, but


stare at me as if to detect farther evidence of my beiDg an escaped lunatic when I answer "seventydollars," or "only thirty-five hollas" In answer to their query concerning "the price" of something thatlu their unsophisticated innocence they are prepared to offer me five dollars for. " Thirty five dollarsI" Interesting way they have of repeat- ing the price over and staring at me severely, as if to extortfrom me a confession of attempting to impose upon them. I retain my composure, and look liseeilyat the article in question, and endeavor to ap):ear solicitous concerning its future. " Thirty- flvedollars did jou say?" The question iB sutrl Cientlv stern to have been, " Prisoner at the bar, fufctT ornot guilty-V" ' Tnirty-five dollars I" I repeat 'in a tone that, notwithstanding its bravado, is evidentlyinterpreted as " guilty," and. hopeless of affecting any moral reformation in me between the p'.ujesof her query, the woman suddenly dis- cover- that ' the article isn't what she wanted any- how "It is " decidd)y out of taste," '* quite outre, ' etc., etc. So she moves off, with one part- ing glanceat my stolidity, that may be interpreted variously, but which isn't! There goes a young man with aquizzing glass, who appears to have been taken suddenly with a violent attack of staring Stationshimself opposite my booth, and peers at me through his glasses with an expression of pretendedinfatuation sufficiently bewllrieiing to aemand temporary aberration of mind on my part, caueedbyintense delight at his attention. * * * Thi .-c ! A woman just paused in front of jny <, booth, staredwith that Infuriating insipidity peculiar to a certain class of nonentities, and remarked of me to hercompan- ion, " Well, she's taking her ease; isn't she!" Hook up. smile of one my pepper-sauce smiles,and ask, slightly enraged. " Way shouldn't I, pray f The ft males glance at each other as if commisera-ting the human race, and move off severely.

It will not


seriously affect that young lady's matrimonial prospects to be positively assured as to "how thedressing case is going.," and who 1 think will get the greatest, and who ihe next greatest numberof votes. Hasn't the woman penetration enough to see that she wHI get the greatest number ofvotes who can induce lhelargest number of gentleman to vote tir her She. who can smile mostgraciously, poliii-ian-like, for votes, upon the charmed circle of one dollar attractions.

(Echo having became hoarsew*h repeated answers to the vehement questions refuses to answer this last query of ours ) Passon, young woman ; "the dressing case" will have a harmless ef feet upon your digestion if youwill quit thinking of It. \ou will never have the slightest interest in it beyond a secret envy. It is tobe awarded to the one who obtainB the largest number of votes and dollars. It is a premium onbelle-ship. It is a ' "slight token of iu*preciation, to the one who can break the most hearts, receivethe most proposals, and obtain the most votes in consequence thereof."

The daysof chivalry are evidently not gone. We may have fallen upon dull merchandising days, but we haveevidently not lost the reverence aud adora- tion for female beauty which gave force to the lan- cescouched by our grand old fathers. We do not now set lance in rest in behalf of the " fairest of thefair," and determined' to prove it by doughty deeds done in glorious tourney. We do not ride forthto prove our prowesB against all comers, in order to border our manhood with a fringe of romance.In these dull times (adopting the conventional phrase) there is no chivalry. There are no Richards,Lan- celots, or Arthurs, or other heroes of that stamp, but there are, and that is something to bethankful for, Don Quixotes without number. There are many beauties In Chicago Tho trouble seemBto be that there are too many. Chaucer never dreamed of over a dozen, and no man could havedreamed of perlection in such a manner as he Ten- nyson speaks or singe, and that at the sametime very melodiously, of many heroines renowned for beauty, 'there is not. a poet but who has hadhis beautiful woman, and Shakspeare, as in everything else, over- tops them all. For many of theseknights did deeds in doughty battle, and for Borne the plaintive strains of forgotten bards leaveyet a lingering echo. That di earn of the ancient bard's, not dreamed by him alone, but caught byhln^from all the echoes of older timeB still, comes back again now, bearing with it the voices whichhave haunted all the ages since time had learned a tongue. Our knights set lance in rest in a newway, In behalf of their ladies, whicli is highly demonstrative, if not so dignified. They can put themup at a raffle. Ihey can vote them beautiful by ballot. Who- ever Is wealthiest, can decide who shallwin. If as- sailed by an opposing lance, they can be satisfied that it was at least blunted with gold.They can declares preferance by vote, and that vote can be decided by dollars. Any Ivanhoe candon his ar- mor in favor of any Kebecca or Rowena, that chooseB to come into the field. If he has toborrow lather's harness, the chances are that his Dulcina will come off second best. The excitementoccasioned by the knowledge of the fact that the dressing-case, which was to be given to the beautyof Chicago, would be decided on Sat- urday night, was inteese. One gallant gentleman, it was well


known, had balloted to the extent of six hundred dollars. The ballet was supposed to be closed at8 o'clock, and the excitement was great; when, immediately after that hour having struck, a knightfor bo, under the circumstances, he might be called rushed frantically in, and tendered dve hundreddollars in behalf of another lady. The excite me nt waB tremendous. Tne voters on the one sideswore vociferously that the ballot was closed. Those on the other, with equal vehemence, declaredthat ihey bad still a right to fight the battle out. Neither side engaged in the controversy seemed tobe aware of the fact that no fewer than thirty five hondied votes had been cast in favor of ladies,between whom tnere was almost no choice. The envied prize was removed to the Tremont house,where all the beauties of the city assembled to enjoy a repast of strawberries and cream. The ballotwas then counted, and the result was waited for evidently with great anxiety, by the ladies who wereassembled. Of course eacn expected to be the favored lady, and when passing the doe:rs onewould stop the other to say " your fate is being decided there." But no one's fate was decided therebefore. It was not till midnight, that the ballots were all counted, and when the result was madeknown there was quite a flutter among the young ladies, who werecanaidates for the grand cilice of"tbe prettiest girl in Chicago." " THE FAIKEST OF THE FArit." Kiss Annie Wilson has carried off the palmin this contest. She is now recognized as being such by the majority of those interested in questionsof the kind. She had, or has, oni thousand and sevi rjij three admirers, and consequently has largescope from which to choo&e. THE VOTES. The whole number of vctes cast was 3,471. Miss AnnieWilson received 1,073 ; M<ss Mattle Hill received l.CGS ; Miss Amelia Carley 1,183 ; scattering 318Yotes. ______ A Novel Wedding. A genuine, old fashioned wedding took place at the New Englandfarm house, on Saturday afternoon. Tbe event has been for some time pleasantly anticipated inconnection with the fair, and it proved to be a very pleasant and interesting occasion. The hostessengaged in tbe ceremony and several other persons, were dressed in a very old-fashioned Btyle, andold time customs prevailed throughout the exercises. The fact that it was a real bonajtde marriageceremony added largely to the interest and impresslveness of the scene. The bans were regularlyread for the third time, and the marriage service prescribed by the Methodist Episcopal churchwas performed in a formal and solemn manner, the Rev. Dr. Tiffany officiating. The attendanceof spectators was about as large as the auditorium of the farm-house could accomo- date, manypersons being unable to procure seats. The marriage ceremonies were commenced shortly alter 3o'clock, the band playing a wedding march, as the tridal party entered and took their places in frontof an Impromptu altar, which had been erected rear the centre of the room The party consisted ofthe bride and bridegroom, Miss. Maggie Snow, of Milwaukee, and Mr. Q. D. Clapp, of Chicago ; tbebridesmaid, Miss Agnes Paul, of Chicago ; Mr. T. D. Freeman, of Milwaukee, who gave away the bride;Hon. J. B. Bradw>-ll, Mrs. Bradwell, and the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, the oflictatii g clergyman. After the usualmarriage ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church bad been performed, including the singingof " Invita- tion" by a select choir, the bride was presented with three beautiful bouquets by threeInteresting young ladies; sfter which' Home, Sweet Home," was sung in a pleasing style by the choir


and others. Then came tbe cor gratulations, salutations and kissing of tbe bride and groom, whichwas the most interesting and probably the most agreeable to those who took part, in it of all theceremonies. A bountiful collation of wedding cake and other refresh- ments had been provided,which was generously distributed, and the episode was concluded by tbe party marching throughUuion hall, accompanied by a long train of ladles and gentlemen in old fash ord floor. The fire wasmoatly on the roof, and was occasioned, it is supposed, by a lighted cigar beinj thrown from anupper window of a high bulldin ac joining. The roof fell in, and the furniture anl goods of the tenantswere greatly damaged by water. Mrs. Schnh had an insurance of $900 upon her stock, and her sonis Insured to the extent of $300 both in the Mutusl Insurance company. This will fully cover the losssustained. OUR VETERANS.

During the promenade, " Auld Lang Syne" was sung in an impressive manner, eliciting heartyapplanse. The old-fashioned dresses worn on tbe occasion were generally very becoming to thewearers, and many of them were very ancient. Ths costume worn by Mrs. J. B. Bradwell was the wed-ding dress of Mrs. Gen. Israel Putnam, which was loaned for the benefit of the fair by a descendantof the family. ______ - Sale of Autograph?, Etc. The sale of autographs and rare coins was commencedpursuant to notice in the depart ment of arms and trophies of the Sanitary fair, at Bryan ball, ata little, past 11 o'clock on Friday morning. The attendance was light much smaller than had beenanticipated. The bids were few and far between, and most of them were very small, in many casesalmost too insignificant to be noticed. The fii st article offered was the autograph of Boston Corbett,who shot J. Wllkes Booth. It was very readily sold for one dollar, the first and only bid. A duplicateor the same brought five dollars, but a third copy would not be sold at any reasonable figure. Anautograph .etter of Benedict Arnold brought eight dollars. "i be original message of President Lincolnto congress approving the act of abolishing slavery In the district of Columbia, was offered, butno bids were made additional to a few which were recorded two or three days sgo, of which thehighest was $10 ly Mr. John K. Walsh. : '. A f, ur-pence coin issued in Pniladelphia in 1777. broughtone dollar. A silver half dollar coined in 1801, which was brought from South Carolina by one ofShermau's men and presented to the fair by Mrs. Sherman, sold for one dollar. ;.. An autograph ofPatrick Henry was Slid to D. A. Harsha for $75. . . . .. A piece of Swedish coin, issued about the year1058, and equivalent to two or three cents ol American money, sold for two dollars. Four McClhlanmedals, of different varieties were sold lor ten cents apiece. ' s . Several other autographs were alsooffered, hut the bids were not large enough to warrant sale. For the autograph oj Gen. Washington,tor instance, the highest bid was seven dollars, whilst that of Patrick Henry, as above stated, brought$75. A page of Mr Lincoln's last message to congress was offered, but no bids worthy ol consider-ation we e made, and it was withdrawn. The autograph album of Jeff. Davis which was cap- turedat his plantation, at Briarville, near Jackson, Miss., instead of at Richmond as was erroneously standheretofore, was offered, and one bid oI $7o was made lor it, when it was withdrawn, the committee


having concluded to postpone the sale until Monday evening; for reasons already stated. Tne highestbid for Mr. Lincoln's message to congress, approving the act abolishing slavery in the District ofColumbia, is $100, which was made by Mr II R. Thompson. Mr. J. R. Walsh has yielded his right toihe document on account of this higher bid. ______ The Pistol Competition. The pistol contest stillcontinues b isk, and Gen. Sherman keeps the head of the list, being nearly eighty votes ahead of allcompetitors for the gold- mounted piBtol. Gen. Osborn polled 230 votes, while Lieut. Col.

A fire broke out in the house of Mr.Sheahan, No. 01 Liberty street, at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning. The flames were promptly subduedbefore much damage was done. The fire was caused by a defective flue. Another fire occurredabout 7 o'clock on Saturday evening at No. 197 South Wells street. The alarm was sounded ai d thedepartment was speedily on the spot. The building was a two-story wcoden tenement, owned byMathias Schuh, a member of the hook and ladder company. The ground floor was occupied by MrB.Schnh as a millinery and dress-making establish- ment, WBi:e her son and his family lived on thesec- Tlte congenial work of receiving and welcoming regimentB at the fair still goes on. The weatheron Saturday morning was oppressively warm, but more fans were called into requisitions, and nohalt in the proceedings was made. About 11 o'clock the 86th regiment, which arrived in Chicago lastSunday.aud went into barracks at Camp Fry, was drawn n'p in line along Washington street. Thesun poured Its terrible heat full in their faces, but they paid no attention to what had been theirlot, three-fold increased, in a torrid climate, for the last four years What were the boys waitingthere for, in the hot sun '. inquired the ladies, in anxious tones. The question was soon answered,however, by the appearance, marching down Michigan avenue, of the 125th regiment, from CampDouglas. This regiment airived on Thuisday morning, and went directly to camp, without coming intothe city. Their appearance now was in pursuance of an invitation from the executive committee


to viBit the different departments of the fair. The regiment stacked arms, and then greeted the80th, which had been so patiently awaiting it. These two regiments are old friends, having been Inthe same brigade through most of Sherman's campaigns. Bach regiment cheered for the other. Atlength when the greetings were over the boys were ordered to fall into line. They were marchedto tl e rear entrance of Union hali, when the president of tbe fair, Mr. T. B. Bryan, met them. The80th filed to t e right, the 125th to the left, and marched by the different booths towards tho gallery.There was an unusual rush of spectators In attendance, many of these relatives and friends of the"boys m blue." When in hearing distance of the gallery they were baited and their ranks closed up.Mean- while the band in the gallery was playing. When it had finished, Mr. T. B. Bryan, presidentof the Sanitary lair, briefly welcomed the officers and men of the two regiments ; not proposing,however, to make a speech, ae be would be followed by the men's own commander, the Illustriouschief, whose voice among tht m would probably, when he spoke for their friends at home, be morewelcome to them than that of any who had not shared in their perils and adventures. One thing he,however, desired to be well understood, that no people on the face of the globe more than those ofChicago were earnest or hearty in their love for the " brave boys in blue." In testimony of which hewould draw their attention to the sleepless nights of many a maid and matron, devoted to labor inbehalf of them, in securing them comforts and in procuring for them necessaries. GEN. SHERMAN'SSPEECH. In conclusion Mr. Bryan called forward Maj Gen. Sherman, who responded to the call,amid loud and prolonged applause from soldiers and civilians. When, at length the enthusiasm wasquieted, Gen. Sherman spoke as follows : Frim.ow Soldiers I regret that It has fallen to my task tospeak to you, because, I would rather that others should do what is more common to them r.ndless so to me. But, my fellow soldiers, it gives me pleasure to assure yon that what the president ofthis fair has told you just now Is true that a nearly welcome awaits you wherever you go, not only inChicago, but wherever you %o There are men who mink yon want bread and meat. Your faces andmy knowledge tells ma that S you would prefer, by far, to see tbe waving of handker- chiefs imd themanifestation of a kindly spirit, than all the bread and meat- that fill the store-houses of Chicago.Much applause. These soldiers whoare now before me know where bread and meat f/ro/os, andcan help themselves. Much laughter aud applause. All we ask, and ail we have "ever asked, is asilent, generous acknowledgment of our services when rendered in tbe cause of our country. Ap-plause My fellow soldiers, you who now are before me, can " a tale unfold," when you get home,that will intereBt the people far more than anything 1 could say were I to talk all day. Just call backwheie you were last jear. ye who are now within the bearing of my voice. You remember KenesawMountain and Little Kenesaw! It is not a year since jou stormed it yourselves you, the very men whoare now before me where I lost my old partner and my old friend Dan. McCook. Applanse That wason the 27th of June. 1864, and nere in J une, 1805, you stand in a hall of Chicago, surrounded bythe bright colors by the ladles and children of your homes. Then you were lying in the mud and onthe rock and dirt, and you saw before jou an enemy that we knew we had to whip, appuuse , and


we did'nt exactly know how to do it. Laugnter and cheers. Then we were patient; we reconnoitred;we WEtched their flanks; we studied their ground; and we finally assaulted and failed Bat we didnet wait even then, for in three days more we had John- son and bis army running, and we didnot give htm a chance to stop until he had put the Chattahoochee river between him and us. Thatis the lesson which all n.nst study. Temporary defeat is nothing when the mmd is not affected. Ifyou are not conquered, you never can be conquered, for when the mind is clear in purpose anddetermined to succeed, no tempory check will cause a failure. In fact, it but stimulates to furtherexertion. You will remember well, that although checked on the 27th of June, by the 4th of July westood on the banks of the Chatta- hoochee andishouted our defiance to Johnston across that river,and told him and his men that they would have to go further than Atlanta, for we meant to go on.You remember how the pickets across the river told us they had had reinforcements ! Yes, they hadhad reinforcements ! What reinforcement had ttey I Do you remember!' Applause The had one ofour corps Schcflelo1 corpB. Great applause. Before Johnson knew or dreamed of it. I had reinforcedhis side of the Chattahoochee by Schofield's 22nd corps. Tremendous applause. Then, my fellowsoldiers, I want you to learn the lesson that no matter how we are to-day or to morrow, that thuskeeping the purpose clear in the mind, in the end we will succeed, whether in the military life, thepr ivate career, or the family circle. Let no temporary disaster appal you; let no temporary defeatalarm you. But, let your purpose inllife be clear and steadfast, keeping in view the object you desirein life; and. just as surely as you are standing before me in health and strength, so surely you willsucceed. The past is now gone. You have returned to your homes or to the state of your homes,in health. Looking at yonr forms with your tawny faces aud broad shoulders, I ask, What fear you!Nothing ! Applause Y'ourhomeie near, but there comes a task to you. It is the task of the future. Thepast is gone and it may soon be*forgotten, but the future is Deforeyou and that is more gloriousthan the fast. Applause Look at your own state of llinois. Look at this city, hardly as old as any ofyou ; for twenty-five years ago a little military gar- rison was here, a two company post, and now itis a. city with its palaces, its railroads, its carriages, its wealth, and all the luxuries of life. Those fewyearB ago a little military post of two companies was all that the government had here to vindicateher authority ; and now here is a state with two millions of people, and a city almost second in theUnited States of America stands on the level Bhores of Lake Michigan. What is here to day is butan exemplar of what may occur in your whole state by patience and industry I Applause You arethe men to direct that patience and industry. Y'ou aieabletodo.it. You have system, discipline andorganization drilled in the mind, whict is far more, my boys, than battalion drills, with whiclnyouhave been badgered so much. You have that discipline which is more important in life than yourdouble column formations. Applause If 1 have been Instrumental in teaching ycu this, in maintainingdiscipline, order and good government In the army which I had the honor to command, I will feelmore honored in future than in gaining battles and winning cities ; for in discipline and system, inthe high tone of honor which pervades your mind, must be built up the empire of America. Well,


boys, you are now all hack home. I do not wish to speak to you, but I know there are others here tospeak to you ; but I believe there arenone here that deoireto speak. They desire that yon should walkabout and see whatever can be seen, and accept what is given in heartiness and in tbe full belief thatyour welcome-home is Bin- cere and heartfelt. I know it is genuine, forlmy- Eelf bave exueriencedIt. I know all desire you to feel that you are back in your homes, with none to make you afraid nomore rebels, no more picket-firing, no more shooting ! That, you have disposed of forever. GreatapplanBe. SPEECH OF COL LANGLEY". Lieut. Col. James W. Langley, commanding the 125th thenspoke in behalf of the tvvo regiments ; Mr. President I can assure you, in behalf of the two lllincisregiments now before us, tint your welce<me. and the welcome of the people of Chicago and ofthe people of the state of Illinois represented here in t/hicago,is truly and fully appreciated by theseSO: die- s who are now returning home. They have long looted at the great resu'ts that have beenderived from such associations and organizations as the Sani- tary fair; and I believe that no city inthe union has shown a deeper interest, has shown a warmer feeling toward the private eoloier inthe ranks or in the hospital, than tbe city of Chicago. Applause. It has seemed to be her chief aimand interest to secure to the soldier all thoBe comforts so neceSBary, so essential to his recoveryfrom the bed of sickness or from wounds received while on the battle-field. These kindnesses, letme assure you, wherever they have reached the soldier, whether in the hospital or on the field,have always, atall times, been duly ap predated, and the heart has swelled with gratitude towardthe kind and loyal people of the north that have remembered the soldier in his dis- tresses. CheersIt illy becomes me, who have been in the field now for tie-last three years, to make a speech or anything of that kind. These two regiments 1 know well, the one as well as the other One I have had thehonor to command for a lung time and both quite a long time. Thejy are men of the same material.They are men the sterling men of the country. My long acquaintance with them warrants me insaying that better men never went to do battle against a common enemy. lApplause. And of thefour Illinois regiments composing in part the third brigade of the 2d diii-ionof the 14th army corps,these were two, the both gnd the 125th. These regiments engaged in the battle of Perryville, onebeing only one month in tbe service ; again they were in the battle of Cbickauiauga; again at MissionRidge; and again in tbe different skirmishes near Buzzard Roost; at Rome ; and, on the 27tn of June,1364 the time to which Gen Sherman alluded applause ihey made a most fearful assault againstthe enemy's works and failed, though they did not turn their backs upon the enemy and run. Gieatap- plause. Instead of retreating, they fell to with their spades and picks, and, within sixty-two feetof the enemy's works, threw up intrenchments of their own, applause , and lay there until by theirsharpshooters they drove the enemy from his works. What they could not do by fierce assault theydid by Yankee strategy. Another engagement of a serious nature took place at a creek in which thewhole brigade was engaged. In Jonesboro, in December, the enemy was assaulted, and amongthem were the same troops we failed to drive oat at Kenesaw mountain. We did drive them out atJones boro great applause , Inch secured beyond question Atlanta. They have made all the marches


and t hey have done a full share in the campaign, takirg as many chickens and hamB, and as muchflour as any regiment from Illinois. Laughter. And ihey have been able to consume as much of thatkind of material as any, for, by casting your eye over the column of faces here, you will observethat these are men of some size, capable of devouring much of Carolina's substance. Laughter andap- plause. They have made a desert waste of thit country. They have come home to-day, but, ifyou had Been them there, months ago, you would not have thought they could bave returned tothe peaceable walks of private life. Bat, let me assure you, they represent the home interest. Theyhave given good and earnest attention to it; and yon will find that many of ihem who do not claimparticularly a high standing in society, in the community in which they live, will rank above men whohave remained at tome to preserve their morals. Ap- plause. These men will return home to theirfor- mer avocations in life, and they will pursue them with more energy and more interest with aninter- est in proportion to the love they have engendered for the country which they have so long,so ably, and so well defended. I assure you again that the cordial and sincere welcome you havetendered to these troops is appreciated in the same spit it in which you have extended it, and, inbehalf of these two regiments, I thank you, and thank those you represent, for the kind welcomewhich you have extended to them, At the conclusion of Col, Langley's remarks, cheers were givenfor the regiments, and also cheers by the regiments for Gen. Sherman. AT BRYAN HALL. The speechmaking over, the regiments were invited to viBlt the arms and trophies department of the fair atBryan hall. Orders were given, and they were soon on the march. Arriving there they filled the hall tosuffocation, so many spectators were already present. They were told to look about them and beperfectly at home. The ladies were more attentive than ever, and told them all about the mul titodeof curious things displayed at their tables. Passing by the place where Jeff. Davis is "exhibited dailyfor Ihe small sum of twenty five cents," they indulged in three groans for the late president of theConfederate States. The picture gallery was the point of attraction, showing that our soldi -rs arenot without that taBte for the fine arts which character- izes the cultivated and rcfiaed. Some veryapt crit- icisms werefreely indulged in AT THE REST.. The hour of noon having arrived the regimentspassed out of the hall and thence to the Soldiers' rest, nere a sumptuous board was spread, and allthe boys sat down to a substantial dinner. Cheer after cheer rent the tlr us the viands disappeared.Ample justice was done to the pro visions, and all arose satisfied with the repast, and returned totheir camp. On the arrival of these regiments In Chicago, The Turns noticed them at length, givingthe roster of each and a sketch of their services. It is useless to recapitulate in thit article. The HeckerRegiment. ! The Germans have carried off the palm in the way of receiving the retnraingjsoldiers.Their dem- onstration on Friday evening was a grand affair. It was got! en up in true German style,and carried out to the letter. The sun had attained a high altitude yesterday morning before thefestivities at the Turners' hall ceased. All through the night the greatest joy found vent. It was themeet- ing of long separated hasbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters. Nothingap- pear cd to mar the general joy. "All went merry as a marriage bell." The German ladies bustled


about and provided breakfast for the regiment, in the gynnasium ball, where the supper wasjlaid.Huge piles of food quickly disappeared, and others took their places. After the repast, the soldiersand their friends gathered in the Turners' garden, and spent the forenoon after the manner of theirpeople. The regiment was expected at the fair at 12 o'clock, where Ben. Sherman was to addressthe officers and men. For gome reason they did not go there. A VISIT TO'CHCN. SHEBMAN. About5 o'clock in tne afternoon the regiment marthed down Lake street to the Tremont House leaced bya band of music. The band played se- lections ol music, and it was announced amid cheer- ing thatGen. Sherman would address the soldiers. There was a large concourse of spectators in the , stieetREMARKS OY H. OREENEUAUM Mr.Henry Greenebaum.chairmanof the committee, appcareu onthe platform, and made a very short but most appropriate speech, and concluded by in- troducingGen. Sherman, who was received with most enthusiastic cheers while the troops presented arms.SPEECn OP GEN. SHERMAN. Gen. Sherman said lie had been at the fair in the forenoon, expressly tomeet them there. He waB really glad to see them, as he was always glad to see- soldiers. Cheers Hedid not intend to make a speech to them, as the sun was too hot, and be had no wish to keep themstanding in the street. He would prefer Bitting down with them, to bave a pleagBnt talk about whatthey had done in Tennessee and Georgia. Cheers and laughter. He had pleasure In welcoming themback to their homes ; and they could see by the reception they had got the interest taken in theirwelfare and the feelings of the citizens of Chicago towards them. Tney welcomed them as thiir feJIov-citizens, although they did not speak tbe Bame language. The citizens of Chicago were, however,well awat e that they, the soldiers, had been fighting for the last four years that they might live insafety end peace. Cheers It was well Known how they had acted In Tennessee, how they had pushedthe rebels further and further, and then made them surrender and behave themselves. Cheers.They have come back to be paid off, and they were to behave themselves, too. as the'eitizens of agreat com- monwealth ought to do. Cneers and laughter. They were again about to become citizens,and to vote for Iheir officers, and have a voice in the making of the laws. AH he would say to themwas that they must obey those laws and see that others did the same. Loud cheers, amid whichGen. Sher- man retired THE RECEPTION ON THE STREETS. | Three rousing cheersbavmg beengivenfor the general, the column was again formed, and the troops marched up Dearborn Btreet, enroute to tbeir quarters at Camp Douglas. They were enthusiastically cheered aB they passed alonsrthe streets. SKETCH OP SERVICE. The S2d or new Hecker regiment was organized iu this city inSeptember, 1802, and left 900 strong. Most of the men were recruited In this city. . It joined Gen.Slgel and formed part of the Potomac army, and fought under him in the 11th army corps. At thebattle of Chancellorvllle It was the last regiment to leave the field, acquitting itself nobly, and losingheavily. In this engagement the colonel and major were wounded together with ten commission-ed i Beers, At Gettysburg they made a charge on the rebel ranks, lOBing eixty men. At the battle ofResaaca the regiment alone saved an Indi- ana battery from being captured. At the battle of Dalloseleven men were killed and fifty wounded, the regiment marching to within one hundred and fifty


yards of the enemy's line. At Peach Tree creek each man of the regiment fired from 335 to 140rounds of ammunition. Its loss here was fifty men killed and wounded. The regiment was in thefirst brigade that entered At- lanta. They marched through the streets of that city like conauerors,with banners streaming out to the breeze. On tbe 17th of January the regiment entered the Northand South Carolina campaign, arriving at Goidsboro on the 24th of March. Here they capturedmany rebels, a large quantity of cotton, and burned much valuable property. Leav- ing Goidsboro inApril, the regiment marched to Raleigh, and there learned the joyful news that hostilitietEhad beensuspended. They then turned their faces homewards, numbering on their arrival 310 men. ^^^^^^_^THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT. The Contest for the Champion- ship of Illinois. Fourth Day.

M'DEVITT AND POSTER. After this game had been concluded, Mr. Gavit, thegentlemanly manager, announced an exhibition game of 500 points up between Mr. John MoDevitt,of Indianapolis, and Melvln Foster, Esq., of New York. The appearance of these gentlemen was her-alded by loud and prolonged applause, which was gracefully acknowlecged by both gentlemen. Mr.McDevitt, it will be remembered, is the gentleman who defeated Goldthwaite at Cincinnati,a lewweeks since, in a match for $2,000 a side, and whose remarkable playing, on this occasion, gavehim the first place as an expert In the Ameri- can game of billiards. Mr. Foster has achieved a widerepntation in the billiard world for his skill and proficiency as a player. On this occasion, the greatestscience of which the art is capable of developing, was exhibited. The most intricate and difficultshots were brought out during the game, "cushions," "draws," "follows," and "nurses" wore all mostbrilliantly displayed to thegreat won- der and astonishment of the unitiated many, and to the delightof the conversant few. The brilliant " combination" shots ol McDevitt, and the beautiful "nursing"and "draws" of Foster, netting at defiance all tbe rigid rules . and theories of mathematical science,alike called forth the warmest admiration and applanse from th'e delighted assemblage. The re-markable runs by either party, of 117, 84, and 117, and 72 twice as large probably as two-thirdsof the audience had ever seen, received at their conclusion the most unbounded manifestations


on the part of the spectators. The game, was clswe- ly contested. so close, that, iu fact, Mr. Gavittremarked once dnr.ng the game ih&t " the carom would have been made if it had had whiskers "McDevitt was hailed with the most enthusiastic demonstrations as the winner by 21 points.

PUBLIC PARKS. streams; with fountains throwing their glitteringsprays over the gr een grass; with rivutets rippl'ng down moss-covered rocks; with flowers liningthe air with delicious perfumes these trees would become centres for a scene of beauty, such asis scarcely to be equaled on this continent. Broad drives would wind around the park where fasttrotters might have opportunities of displaying their qualities, and sinuous paths leading throughgreen shrubberies would afford 'pedestrians de- lightful opportunities for enjoying a sylvan retire-ment. It could in short be made a spot to which the citizens would resort, and which would be thepride of the people to show to strangers. Both these parks could be constructed at com- parativelylittle expense tothe community. The benefits to be derived from them would be incalculable. It is tobe hoped, therefore, that the proposition will be considered seriously, and at once carried UtoefT,ct.A city so populous and wealthy as Chi- cago can no longer be allowed to endure the stig- ma f havingno spot where the people may enjoy themselves, no place where can be breathed the pure air ofheaven. It is now acknowledged by all that tbe one great, want of the citv is public breath ing places,and, that being acknowledged, let them be at once supplied. A PLEASANT EXCURSION. - Visit tothe State Penitentiary. A parly of ladies and gentlemen, Including in the number representativesor Bome of the leading families of Chicago, visited the state penitentiary at Jolitt on Saturday. Forthe comfort of the ex curBionists, the management of the Chicago and St. Louis railroad provideda special train, whose chief attraction was tbe magnificent new sleepinfij-cir erected for the roadby Messrs. Pullman * Field. Tbe car had just been finished, and this was its first trip; wherefore tbeofficers of the road, in order to fitly celebrate its completion, had invited a brilliant party of ladiesand gentlemen to make this excursion. The train was composed of five other cars, two of whichwere elegant sleeping- coEches, but little less complete than that above mentioned. Tbe new caris a magnificent specimen of beautiful railway architecture. Presenting an imposing exterior, itsinterior appearance iB strikingly beautiful. Its appointments are really palatial. The wearied travelercan here enjoy the hours of travel on softly-cushioned couches, whose tipestried, 1'roK'otd, andgaily ornamented surroundings al most bring to mind the pictured stories of oriental1 eplexdor.Everything that taste could suggest, everything necessary that wealth could furnisb. has betnsupplied, and in the result is seen tho most magnificent sleeping-car on the continent a perfect"miracle of artiutic design and mechanical saill. You may search in vain for a defect; criti- cise everso carefully, and nothing will be pro Eounced incongruous, nothing wanting. The tout ensemble is awoadrous achievement the ne plus vitro, of railway accommodations. Entering into details, we mightdescribe with profit what will be reserved for a future article the improvements that have been hereintroduced, the unrivaled ar- rang*ments for receiving repose, the admirable plan of ventilation,ana the numberless corfve- itieLcts each one of which will rob travel of its accustomed fatigue, andmake atrip by rail no longer to be dreaded. It is but necessary in this connection to state that thecost of this gorgeous car was eighteen thousand dollars a, s'atement which will hardly be credited by


those who reckon half that amount amply sufficient to buy a homp, with a little to spare for horsesand carriages. Vet such is the fact, for the fine arts are coming to be patronized as extensively forour modtrn railway cirs as they have hitherto been for tbe adornment of the drawin*- oom of ourfinest mansions. The credit of erecting this beautiful car is due entirely to Messrs. Pull man & Field,proprietors of sleeping-cars on the Cnicago and St. Louis railroad, to whose enterprise travelersbetween these two cities have long been indebted for the privilege of occupying the moBt completeand comfortable cars on any American railroad. Returning now to the subject of our excursion,which we had nearly forgotten in a deserved digres- sion upon this incomparable railway palace,space might profitably be spared- to describe the pleasing episodcB of that pleaBanttst of ildes.'"Going ti prison" in such a car and in such company was in f\d 6 enough to make one wish oftento go to prison. But this was only an errand of pleasure. A most <.tj.triii! relief, tbUB to be hurriedAlong ovjr mo lovely prj.lrie, toruiiKii ii;<l of .-^diesd beauty, past shadow\ groves, by the canal, upto the veiy bi*ol where tho etately prison walls looked gloomy and grim. An h( ur spent in visitingthe different build- ings wl'hin the inclosuree-, to say nothing of tbe sigLt of six nundrtd unhappyconvict*, as they filed paBt the party into their dmlng-hall, prepared tbe txcursionistB todo justiceto an excellent collation which bad been thoughtfully prepared for their re- freshment by order ofMr. Akers, one of the chief officers of the prison. Af ler that the party resumed their seats in thecars, which were rapidly whirled back to the city, where the train arrived shortly be- for j 10 o'clock intho evening. Oin: STREETS. pair were traced to another house of the same de- triiptinn, kept by oneknown as Mollie Beebs, where they were arreBted. After examination they tre each held for trial atthe Recorder's court in bail to the amount or $S00. Another charge was then preferred against themby Mr. Gran, of the Italian opera The latter had lost a gold chain, a Bet of diamond studs, and otherarticles of jewelry valued at fSOO in all. These had been stolen from a bureau In one of Mr. Grau's r.otns at Ihe Tremont bouse, and it was proved that Cook baa been in the habit of daily visiting thereto get instructions about pOBtlng the opera bills. It was proved, also, that he had made a key toopen that door,and a young man named Charles Howa-d Bwoio to haviig seen the articles deECrlbedby Mr. Gran in Warner's possession. The case was con tinued till Tuesday morning, ball beingdemanded in the turn of t500. Miss IlesiHEn's "Zesobia" Miss Ho3tuer,s master-piece, ''Zcnobia" willremain on exhibition in lower Bryan hall at least during the present week, and will then return toBoston and New York, to be placed in the private gallery of its owner, Mr. Griswold of the latter city.This is probably the last public exhibition which will be given of this beautiful work, certainly the lastthat will ever be given in the west. The trouble, expense and risk of its transportation are too great;and we may be sure that no occasion will arise for years which will appeal so strongly for Its ex-hibition, as has the great closing fair in behalf of the suffering soldiers of the Union. The only re- gretIn the present instance is that it has not been placed In a hall more accessible, more adequate tothe exhibition of Its full zenith, as well as more appropriate to a work of such character and claims.However, this is no excuse for not seeing it, on the part of any who may learn of its presence here,


and its whereabouts. No person, whatever else he may forgo or neglect, can afford to pass by awork which ranks its author with the great cotempo- raneous names of th* mother country andindeed of the old world, and which rivals the best produc- tions of American genius In this noble art.it would be as if a traveler should forego Niagara, or Mount Blanc, cr Vesuvius, or the Atlantic ocean.In another'department of the fair, visitors are invited to " vote early and vote often" as a personaltesti- monial to their favorite general. The advice Is even more pertinent hero, go early and go often.not merely as an acknowledgement of appreciation of one, who personally honors the Ameri-can character, no less than American art. and hi-* done as naich for us in other lands aud in futuretimes ae thi greatest general can do, but also as a necessary condition of tbe full enjoyment ofawork which, like all master-pieces of human genius In art and li'ensure, does not fnlly reveal itself atonce. Here tbelmtiglnation not only grows with, but to what itfeidsupon; ara time and reflection, amdrever- ence, and sympathy are necessary In order that the full pcrleciiora of this remarkable'workBhall be ci mprehended. Mr. JenkB, the liberal and gentlemanly proprle- terof this statue, gladlyfurnishes all visrtoru with photographs of Zenobia, taken by Mr. Agassiz favorite artist, Sonrell ofBoston, fr?m different points cf view, which materially aid in the appreciation of the work. Fromthe magnificent photograph of Mias Tlostaer which he also exhibits, one gets a very different,pnd a much more faTorable idea of the sculptress, tb8B from the pictures ordinarily seen. -HerwomaiOy qualities are more apparent, at the same time that a certain Thorwaldseuian breadth and .maBsiveiicsB of forhcad iu revealed, which bespeak a genius cognate with that of the great sculptorwhemshe promises to rival. the tcamp threatened to eject him. Col J IT Bowen was treated in asomewhat eimtiiar manner by this individual. It would be well for tho maa- sgers of the fair to supplyhis place with some person who understands what the duty of a door-keeper really is, in orderthat the citizens may not be In- sulted. The soldiers on duty at the fair, have always been ccrteougto visitors, and it is a pity that thej should use their good name, through the mla- condnct of anindividual, who evidently disgraces ihe uniform which he wears. Tbe Late Attempt at Suicidk Dbathor Dantz. Abont ten days ago a bookkeeper named A lift si I>8ntz, employed in the banking houseof Messrs. Henry Greenebanm & Co., attempted to commit suicide, when charged with embezzling:the funds of the bank. He was conveyed to ilia Central police station by detective W. Tnnnlclifi; andmedical aid called in, and hia wound dressed. Be has received the best of medical attention ; butha lingen d in great agony from the time he fired the fatal phot, unfit Saturday morning, when heex- pired. Coroner Wagner held an Inquest on tka body on Saturday forenoon. The jury returned averdict to the e fleet, that the deceased had come to bis death from a wound inflicted with his owmhanCB._______ A Raid upon the Street-Walkers. Raid* upon the thieves and loafer* who Infest thecity have lately been more or less frequent. They have not had the effect of purging the city of thenui- sance, but they have In all likelihood been bene- ficial in keeping them somewhat in check. Thapolice on Friday last commenced a series of cap- tures of another kind. The city is at present ailedwith soldiers', most of whom, especially tkoaa who have just been discharged, have in their pos-


session considerable sums of money. With an eye to there, a class of females, instead of attending totheir avocations within doors, have lately begma to ply their callings on the public Btreets. la order tocheck this nuisance, the police bave received orders to arn gt every one found to be so employed.About a dozen of these females were brought before Justice Milliken, on Saturday, on a charge ofdisorderly conduct and each was fined fifteen dollars and costs. Mr. Cuart.es Walsh Pardoned. A tele-gram was received in this city on Saturday afternoon, from Mr. R. S. Wilson who, is at present iaWashington, to the effect that President Johnson had granted a free pardon' to Mr. Charles Walsh. Itwill be remembered that sometime ago, Mr. Walfh was convicted by a military commission at Crncirnati, of being connected with an alleged conspiracy to liberate the prisoners at Camp Douglaa. Mr.Wilson, and Mr. Farrell of Cincinnati, who accompanied him to Washington were to leave that cityon Sa'urday evening for Chicago. Change cf Time.

The attendance at the afternoon Eeriee of contests keeping pace with the skill exhibited,waavery slim. But litrtle interest was apparent- the audience seeming universally to imbibe the dulland commonplace spirit which prevailed in the playing. In fact, taken all in all, the science of Satur-day afternoon was by far the most uninteresting and tbe least exciting of aid the series of contestsfor tho cue which have yet been described. TWELFTH GAME. Punctually at 2. o'clock Messrs. Foleyand Coan appeared as the contestants in the first game. Mr. Michael Phelan s,cted as referee. Coanwon the lead, scoring 6. Foley followed with 0, and missed aa easy shot. Oracle fourteenth inning,Foley took the balls, which were favorably left, and made a run of 101, tbe largast which had yetbeen made in ihe tournament and turning him 98 points ahead. The balls in ibia run were nursedthe whole of tbe time, and were well handled. He left the balls, however, and his opponent beganin a way which bade feir to roll up a long run; but, unfortunately? he "froze" his ball after havingscored 13, and failed to count. For some time he kept hie advantage, but after a few innings heEeemed to play less careful, while his opponent continued to play with the same steadi- ness whichhe had kept up from the beginning, ao that on turning his second hundred he was but 87 ahead. Theplaying from this to the close of the game was of the same Insipid style which had prevailed for thegreater part of the contest, and which characterized it as the poorest game, thus far, of the entiretournament. Foley won by 51 points, hla average being 6.

between Messrs. Rhines and Davis. Mr. Gibbs, af Dubuque, was appointed referee. Davis won thelead, scorings. Davis kept jn advance until he rounded the first hundred, when he w as 13 ahead.Rhinea caught up and passed him, however, on his next run, leading by 5. Davis "jawed" the tworeds on his next run, making 53, and placing him far in advance. He again succeeded in a "jaw" onbis twenty first innings, but only got 11. On turning his second hundred he was 00 ahead. He neverlost the lead during the game, winning by 112 points. Rhines never played worse than he did onthis occasion. He seemed to lose all confidence in himself, and played with recklessness and wante f ner ve.

As for the playing of this game, it was no better than li at of theother two, want of nerve being the chief characteristic of both players.

The evening's entertainment of Saturday was witnessedby the largest assemblage which has attended the tournament since its commencement. Therewas alBO present a large proportion of ladles, all of whom were inspired by a lively interest in theprogress of the contests. A number of the most prominent citizens Qf the city were also present tocontribute their share to the interest of tbe occasion. Tbe exhibition game of 500 points, betweenJohn McDevitt, of Indianapolis, and Melvin Foster, of New York, two of the greatest professionals inthe country, added to the unusually spirited con- teBtB'forthe prize cue, (hat formed as a whole thefinef t and most interesting specimens of billiard science that have ever been witnessed in this city.There was no one who attended the seance of that evening who could have gone away without con-fessing himBelf amply repaid. FIFTEENTH gams. The bell had no sooner sounded the hour than Mr.Gavit announced that the first game would be played by Messrs. Donohue and Foley. Mr. MelvinFoster having been chosen referee, the men advanced to the table, and proceeded to string forthe lead. This was won by Donohue. who scored 2 Foley, in three runs successively of 15. 23, and16, jumped ahead of bis antagonist, who had been playing with some carelessness and want ofnerve. Two more runs by Foley of 41 and 19 placed him round the corner, 76 in advance. He leftthe balls, however, at the close of bis run, in a favorable position for his antagonist, who, by a run


of 27, somewhat dlmin ished the distance he was behind. But he clearly bad no chance against thecool, easy playing of Foley. On his twenty-first inning, Foley succeded in " jawing" the white and redin the jaw at the head of the table, and ran CO, when he " froze" his ownf all. At tbie point, he was144 points ahead of Donohue, wbose nervous, irregular manner of play The Prepsed, Park oa thVacant Ground Belwecn Michigan, Avenue and the Lake Shore. Arguments- in its Favor. Ntasd ofBre&tbin.g-Piae93 for Eeople. the When the Crystal palace erected in London for the great exhibitionof 1851, was taken down, a proposition was immediately started to have it rebuilt and preserved as.a, palace for the benefit of the people. The country appreciated too thor ou^hly the- beauty of thatfairy-like structure to allow of its being demolished, or to suffer its becoming merely a. thing of thepast, and it forma the centre of the beautiful gardens at Sydenham, and is one of the most popularplaces of resort about London. That was one of the results of that exhibition which benefited directlythe whole body of the people, and it was in the highest degree creditable tothe country that it shouldhave given permanence to a happy idea, which had been origi - nated by the exigencies of a greatoccasion. There is an idea which has had its origin throujh the fair now being held in this city whichin a Bimi- lar manner desires to be perpetuated. That Floral hall, with its lakes, and rivulets andcanals; its miniature cascades and sparkling fountains; its bubbling springs and ruBtic bridges ; itsgreeneries and bowers; and all its entanglements of winding paths and pleaBant retreats, has shownthe citizens how much can be made of comparatively limited space, and how much may be done ina very^short period of time. The idea which has been partly developed through that structure mustnow be ex- panded and preserved, and a new structure raised on a still more extended scale, witheven more elaborateness of detail, and more perfectness of finish. Snch is the opinion generallyprevailing amongst all who have visited this department the fair, and there ie Borne probabilitythat it will hi carried into effect. It has been shown how much can be effected by the expenditureof a few thousand dollars. It is known now how much pleasure can be furnished by hav.ng sucha place of resort and there is sufficient public spirit amongst the citizens of Chicago to insure thesupplying at an early period of what is at present the chief want of the city a number of publicparks and pleasur e groiint s. There is not a city in the United States more utterly deficient in placesof recreation than is Chicago. We have the plain lying around us on the one Bide, presenting butfew temptations for vcople to walk abroad. We have on the other side the lake, looking in theBescorching days so cool, and calm, and beautiful. But nowhere are there any pleasantly-shaded walksalong Its shores, where one can walk and enjoy its loveliness. There is no place where a man cantake his family to re- create tnemselves on an afternoon. No breathing places in short around alltho city; nothing but the interminable lines of dusty highway to peram- bulate, which is certainlyat no time pleasant, and not calculated under any circuuiBta nces to revive the drooping spirits orto restore the shattered health. The resolution recently presented by Aid. Holden to the commoncouncil has been regarded with pleasure by all, as giving indications that action is likely eccn to betaken lor the supplying of this great public want. It is proposed that the open space lying between


Michigan avenue and the track of the Illinois central railway shall be made into a public park, forthe free use of the citizens. The ground in question is admirably adapted for the purpose. Plantedwith trees, laid out with sinuous paths, winding around mounds of Bowers and thiubSj with watergushing down rocky ledges, or flowing in tiny rivulets down to miniature lakes, with fountains andcascades Hinging a delicious coolness over the ground, with sheltered plots of freth green grass,where children might play, this ground which no one thinks of visiting now might be rendered theboast of the city, and the favorite place of resort and recreation for all. There might congregatethose not engaged in business, who are now condemned to Epeud their time within doora, fromthe simple factthat there is no place where they can enjoy themselves outside. There, instead ofbieathing the foul airs generated by Bridgeport and the river, and breathed pestiferously throughevery window, families might pass many an hour wiui pleasure, and leave, refreshed by the healthfuland uncontaminated breezes blowing from the lake, which would be ever playing among the foliageand the flowers, and lending even to sweeten to some extent the polluted atmosphere of the city.This matter, having now been at last seriously taken up, must never be Buffered again to go to restuntil Chicago can boast of at least one park. The expense of its construction is a consideration not tobe thought of for a moment. For a city like this, even did it threaten to prove five times as heavy as itwould be, it would be wholly insignificant. The advantages of having public parks have been felt andappreciated in other cities. There never was one that more needed them than does this. One reallygood park would be a boon to the people of all clasees, and, were one constructed, bo apparentwould become at once tbe benefits derived from it, that others would soon be laid out in other partsof the city. Adjoining the cemetery on the north Bide there is a large tract of ground, belonging tothe city, which might be metamorphosed into a park, in com- Sarisen with which even the greatCentral park of lew Ycrk would not be in a positie n.to boast of pre- eminence. Property holdersIn the vicinity have offered to donale a hundred additional acres to this piece of public ground, ifthe city will convert it into a park. Here then we might have a pleasure ground rivaling that of thefairest to be Been in this country. The epace spoken of 1b already adorned by many noble trees.Theeeuwould of course be preserved ae tbe chief ornament of the grounds. Then with plentifulBhrnbbery ; with hills and val- leys (all of which, such is the nature of the ground, could be easilymade); with bo.-kage-Bhadowed dcpthB, through which would meander crystalline A Necessaryand Salutary Eeform. The condition in which the Btreets of Chicago are at present, and in whichthey have been for years, it iB acknowledged by all, is a disgrace to the city. The matter haB beenneglected by the public, and by the authorities hitherto, eo many important affairs of another kindhaving te> be attended to. Now the time has come when we can stop to inquire into the sanitaryaffairs c the city, and to call for improve ments which ara every day becoming more pressing andnecessary. It baB been customary, and is now, ior every one to make of our most pablic streets, meredunghills. Garbage aud filth sf the most pestilential and offensive ktads, are deposited close to thesidewalks. A atrect may be laid, as was West Lake street recently, with, a splendid bleck pavement.


Wells Btreet is now being similarly improved. A number of others are in a like Btate of progress,but what will be the nee of it all, if the customs of the inhabitants ara allowed to continue as theyhave been? Aldeiman Saimp lately made a motion in tbe cemmen council, which was fortunatelypassed, which gives hope that the nniBance from which the people bave Buffered so much, will bein some measure absted. Our Btreets are being gradually though somewhat Blowly Improved. Theold plan of tos- sing out all the rubbish, garbage and filth which may accumulate in a householdmust of, necessity be abandoned. Alderman Slump's order will go far to effect this Improvement,and will receive the hearty approbation of every citizen of Chicago. The order was in effect that acommittee of three should be appoiEted for drafting a suitable ordinance " to prevent the depositionof ashes, dirt, or any other e flenEive matter," in any of the public streets of Chicago, The condition ofthe streets has been such of late that every one must, hail the very proposal of such an ordinance.As many as have experienced the insufferable Luisance caused by people who seem to have noIdea of living save in the im- medate proximity to pig-sties, will bo thankful for any ordinance whichshall compel attention to cleanliness and order. The o-dinance must bcBtrictly enforced if our cityis to take rank with others of like size and pretensions on the continent. But the question mightcome up by many householders, What are we to do with all this garbage so much complainedof? In European cities carts go around every morning and night, and take away ail the ashes andrefuse from the streets. Here no Buch opportunity Is afforded for people to. get their manure heapsdis- posed of. Alderman Slump's order is excellent and necessary, but it does not go far enoughas regards the nuisance. It is absolutely imperative that the streets and thoroughfares should bekept clean. But it would be important if the dwellers upon our paved, graveled, and macademizedroads could be informed as to how they are to dispose of their ashes and other refuse, whichbecomes so offensive by being deposited as it is at present. Every one will thank Alderman Shimpfor introducing this order and feel happy at the thought that the thoroughfares of Chicago willsoon assume a less rugged and more savory aspect. The measures that have been instituted forthe improvement of streets give indications that they are to be made more passable than they bavehitherto been. But when this new ordinance comes into operation, an improvement will have beeneffected second only to that which could be effected by the purifying of the river. Poi-ifB Coirt Therewas on Siturday, as UBual, at tbe Police court, a predominance Of fe. males amongst the vagrantaud drunken squad which, huddled together lathe box, awaited exanr* ination. Amongst themwere old and wrinkled" creatures, whose only happiness, perhaps, consi-ted' in tbe onjovment ofa eort of temporary oblivion the cares of the w orld by indulging in strong drinks' and thus lisingfor a time tothe enjoyment of the pleat-urea of imagination. Several were young, and ope or twowould have been tolerably comely but that; their countenances bore too manifestly the traces ofdissipation. Some tried to appear extrem- ly penitent, while others looked the justice in the face asbo'dly and unblushirgly as if the charges made i gainst them were rather something to boast of thant-ilecces of which they had need to appear ashamed. They heard their sentences with that LudjtVerr


nee which the frequency with which they have for the most pnrt to pass through a similar ordealhas enabled them to assume aud to feel, and went back to (he prisoners' dock unaffected and un-dismayed. The :irst to make her appearance was Mary Wal- ker, a bold looking virago who had gotIntoxicated and had indulged in a series of extravagances and eccentricities on the side walk whichthe policeman on duty considered in the highest degree unbecom- ing. Be accordingly took hertothe Armory, where Justice Milliken lined her ten dollars and costs. Kate Campbell, anot her femaleof the same class, was also charged ten dollars and costs for a similar offence. Ana Murphy, a feeblelooking old creature, had been eicountered while ineffectually trying to bal arc* herself by holding toa fence. She declared that she was not drunk, but had just taken a little drop to keep up her spiritsand that had made her in some mysterious way a little bit light-headed. Forth e unfortunate result ofhaving indulged in the fatal little drop the poor old woman was ordered th nay five dollars and costs.BlizabethThompson, Eliaa Thomps on, Mary Pat- terson, Kate Owens, and about a dozen others hadall been found in various stages of Inebriation. Some had been otstreperous, rendering themselvesoffensive to saloon-keepers and policemen. Others bad been simply helpless. Some had been sur-prised while enjoying a pleasant nap upon dung- hills and straw heaps in secluded alleys. They wer* cm h fined five do Ltrt aud costs, thi justice being a little more severe than he Is ordinarily, incon- sequence of the fact that every one of the offenders happened to be periodical- visitors at theArmory. William Haley, James HenneEey, Michael O'Brien, and a number of others had also beenpicked up iu a state eif intoxication and were each fined five dollars and costs. There was nothingof any interest in either of the cases._____ The Soldiers* Home Thibd Annual Meet- ing. The thirdannual meet Ing of the managers of the Soldiers' home and Soldiers, rest was held in Union hall, inthe fair building, en Saturday afternoon, the preBldent, Mr. T. B. Bryan in the chair. The first businessin order was the reading o the president's annual report, a large portion.of which waB devoted to arefutation of charges which have been made by newspapers published outside of Chicago, and byindividuals, complain- ing that soldiers In some instances had not been properly cared for, on tbeirarrival in Chicago Mr. Bryan's report treated these charges as unfounded and wholly uncalled for. Heexplained that the managers bad labored earnestly and faithfully to provide In a suitable manner,for soldiers on their arrival rere. The report shewed that the management had been judicious andliberal, and that the home and rest had satisfactorily accomplished their objects. The report of thesecretary, which was next read, was a very elaborate and carefully written document. It ieviewedthe work accomplished at the home and reet, and the great benefit which the eoldiera bad recievedlrom them during the past year. It appeared from the report that,. Btece the annual meeting lastyear, there nad been 60,003 arrivals of soldiers, and 167,253 meals furnished. The statement of thetreasurer, Mr. C. L. W. Junge, showed that the disbursments of the past year amounted to *35,84979 of which $11,408 62 was expeLded for real estate. The above reports were accepted by the meet-ing. The nominating committee, through Mrs. Ran- ney, then presented a list of candidates for officesfor the ensuing year, riome candidates, however, declined to serve, and, after some discussion,


the election took place with the following result: President Mr. T. B. Bryan. First Vice President Mrs.Dickenson. Second Vice President Mra. Sayers. Secretary Mrs. Brahman. Treasurer Vit. C. L. W. Junge.Assistant Treasurer Mr. Blakey. Auditing Committee Mrs. Shepley, Mrs. Ingalls and Mrs Andrews. Avote of thanks to Mrs. HoBmer, Mrs. Tinkham, and Mre Unshing. ior valuable Bervices in aid of thehome and rest, during the past year, was passed. The meeting then adjourned. A Daring Bobbery.A daring robbery took place on Randolph street, between La Salic and Clark Btreets, on the nightof Thursday, The victim in this case was G: W. Butters. He was walking along the street at the time,when he was assaulted by three men, and robbed of a carpet-sack he waa carrying, and about $40in money.

association Philadelphia, Pa. GEN. SHERMAN. His Movements. Gen. Sherman was more than usuallybusy on Saturday. So many public duties devolved upon him in the course of the day, that betweenpublic receptions, and private receptions, his time was pretty well occupied. When the general firstmade his appearance in the city he seemed averse, if anything, to public demonstrations, andespecially to public speaking. The few brief words in which he responded to his own welcome by thepeople were almost as short aa those of the lieutenant general. Since that time he has had occasionto practice oratory, to a considerable extent, and having once tested hie powers he has be- comemore and more liberal in his speech every day. Gen. Sheiman does not pretend to be an orator, buthe ie a good talker, because, unlike too many of our public sweaters, he has always something tosay, and he can say it in a clear lucid and forcible manner. The general remained in his apartments atthe Tremont bouse during the forenoon, till 11 o'clock, when, by invitation, he paid a visit to the fair,for the purpose of receiving the 86th and 125th Illinois regiments. Union ball was well fulled when hemade his appearance, and the people received him with hearty cheers. He addressed the Boldiersat more length than he usually does, and when he concluded, both soldiers and citizens joined ingiving him three loud hurrahs. After the reception waa over, the general visited several deparmentsin the halll, and among others attended the recitations of Master Dudley Waller the child orator," the marvelous boy" with whose accomplishments he expressed himself highly astonished andpleased. He then returned to the Tremont house, where he enjoyed a brief interval cf rest. About 5o'clock in tho afternoon the " Hecker" regiment paused in front of the Tremont, when the generalcame to the front balcony and addressed them in a few short words of welcome. In the eveningGen. Sherman paid a visit to Col. Wood's museum, when the comedy of the "Game Of Love" wasproduced. There was a orowded bouse, and as the general entered and took his seat in the frontsofa, the audieuce rose to their feet and cheered with great enthusiasm. departure of oen. Sherman.Gen. Sherman left Chicago for Mansfield, "Ohio, yesterday afternoon, by train on the Pittsburgh, FortWayne and Chicago railroad. He will pay a visit to bis brother at that place for a couple of weeks,ard then proceed to St. Louis, where he is expected to be present at the celebration on the Fourthof July. . An Attorney in Trouble An attorney named Horatio N. Warner, who sometimes prac- ticesbefore the Police court, appeared there on Fri- day morning in the position in which he had hith-erto been accustomed to see his clients. By his Bide in the dock, stood George H. Cook, the bill-poster for McVickcr's theatre and other places of- amuBement, and the two were accused of havingstolen a silver pitcher, a silver coffee pot, and a silver sugar-bowl from a disreputable house onFourth avenae. ThehonBels kept by one Hattie Marshall, who with one of her girls appeared to giveevidence. They etated that between 9 and 10 o'clock on Thurs- day night Warner and Cook came tothe house, and staid about three quarters of an hour. Three girls had sat with them in a room forsome time, and then two of them left. In the meantime, however, Cook had eold one a ring for tendollars, which, though of a very t-howy appearance, would In reality have been dear at ten cents.Warner eold another of the same description, receiving seven dollars as part payment. They both


had admired very much the silver plate as it stood on the side-board, and seemed to take a lancy toseveral other articles in the room. At laBt Warner re quested the girl to accompany him into enotherroom, as he wished to speak to her In private. She did so, and they staid there about five minutes,he questioning her about the ring she had hought and about the money she owed to Cook. Hethen left the room and called for Cook, but found that he was gone; BO. without saying a word, hefollowed. At the same instant the girl discov i red ttat the silver waa gone alsot and hastened at enceto tell the mistress of the es'ab'.lshm^nt Thenupona ro'.'.ccmaii was called, and the worthy DaringBobbeet in a Hotel. Edward O'Neill was again on Saturday morning brought up for examinationbefore Justice Milliken on a charge of having stolen $40 from Abe Nelson, of Waupaca, Wis , at thePrescott house. Nelson stated that he arrived in this city on Wednesday last, and, in company withanother young man, went to several clothing stores, and there mide purchases. At several eliffercntplaceB he encountered the prisoner and another man, who seemed to follow them from placeto place. In one of the stores Nelson's companion pressed him to buy a Bhlrt, when he declineddoing so, remarking that he had no money, upon which his companion remarked, "You must haveat least Bixty or seventy dollars in your pocke's." The attention of the two redoubled upon hearingthe remark, and eventually they piloted him to the Prescott house, and there they all three enteredtheir names and went to bed for the night. Neleon, before going to bed, counted h's money, put it inhis pocket-book, and carefully locked his door. In the morning he awoke and found his money gone,and the door open. Upon examining the key, there was plainly to be seen indented on it the marksof the nippers by which it had been turned. It was evident, therefore, that very skill- ful burglars hadbeen at work iu the house. The tferk slept in a room at some distance from Nelson's, in companywith an old man named Wright. The latter had to arise about half-past 4 o'clock, and he left the clerkasleep, closing the door after him as hewent away. The clerk awoke and found his door open, andhis watch, which he had left in his UWl UJJMJ.OUU "IC Til vest pocket, vanished. A chamber maid,Mary Stewart, who slept on the same 111 or, had been startled at about half past 1 o'clock by seeingtwo men peepinsr into her room. She got up, locked her door, and dressed herself. 1 hen, uponcoming out into the hall, she saw the prisoner standing at the top of the stairs, and his companionmaking signals to him from the door of the clerk's room. Upon seeing her, they both ran down Btairsand out into the street. Thinking that they were only afraid of her in consequence of her havingdetected them peering Into her room, she gave no alarm, but, upon hearing of the rob- beries, shedivined another purpose in their beating bo precipitate a retreat. The evidence altogether seemedvery conclusive, and O'Neill was held for trial in the Recorder's court in the Bum of $1,000 bail. '_ TheCrosby Testimonial Auction Sale of Seats. The sale of seats for the Crosby testimonial entertainmenton Monday evening, commenced at the Opera house at 7 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Thecommittee had fixed the price of admission at $5, but fearing that the receipts would fall short oftheir expectations, decided to sell the boxes and seats at as great an advance as possible beyondthat figure. A large number of gentlemen appeared at the sale, and the bidding was opened with


much spirit. The first box sold was box E, the centre stage box on the right, to Mr. M. Daniels, for$13 per Beat. The box has six seats, making the eum realized from its sale $78.

Hogan, formerly a public detective,who was imprisoned in the Old Capitol en a charge of being concerned in the robbery of $70,000from Paymaster Maj. Malony, who was released on Friday and turned over to the civil au- thorlt'es.Department commanders have received orders to release all general and staff officers whoseservices may be dispensed with within their respective commands, and order them to proceedwithout delay, to their respective places of residence, and from there report by letter to the adju-tant general of the army for orders from the war department; that officers or men who mayhereafter be commissioned, under tha first appointments by governors of states, to regiments


or companies of volunteers in Texas, will be-furnished with free transportation, on governmenttransports, to the respective stations of their regiments or compa. nice. The ordnance departmenthas closed its office at City Point, and removed its stores to the arsenal in this city. The commissaryand quirtermaster's departments will soon be closed also. Judge David H.

The question as to theamount of bounty property clue soldiers who are mustered out of service before ' the expirationof the term of enlistment, was referred to Atty. Gen. Speed, who decides that he is entitled onlyto receive the proportion of bounty allowed him by the statue whereon as third or two- thirds ofwhich had actually accrued before the date of his discharge. If, for instance, he volunteered fortwo years and is mustered out before the expiration of his term of enlistment, he cannot receivethe second or third installment of the bounty of $500, which would have been payable to him hadhe continued in the service until the expiration of the two years for which he enlisted.

After taking thisposition Gen. Hays dispatched a commission to negoti- ate fcr the surrender, and this step onhis part was followed by the action of Gens. Buckuer and Price, which led to what purported to bea general surrender of the trans -Mississippi forces in the name of Kit by Smith.

I will act onyour recommendations by appointing persons named by you if they are men of proper characterand have taken the oath prescribed in the president's proclamation. This will be prerequisite inall cases; the original or certified copy of which oath must be transmitted with the application forappointment. It is also my intention to organize the judiciary throughout the state by appointingprovisional judges, district courts', and district attorneys, as soon as practicable.

If you neglect to avail yourselves of the opportunity offeredyou, I shall be compelled to make appointments to office for your section from the best informationin my possession, and you cannot blame me if they are not acceptable to you.

with proper officers to open the polls, an election for governor and other state ofiV cers, aecoidingto the new constitution, will take place at the same time.

The 26th and 126th Ohio were on the steamer N. Longfront, and when the boat arrived atMound City was ordered to land and put the soldiers on Choche island and proceed to Cairo to getsupplies. The soldiers manifested a strong disposition to mutiny, declaring it was a shame that theywere forced to go to New Orleans at this season of the year, after fighting and marching throughall the war, while regiments that have never seen an armed enemy are being mustered out, andthey declared their unwillingness to pass below Cairo. A number presented their guns at the pilot,and threatened to shoot him if he landed, but the threatened outbreak was finally quelled by theofficers, aud they were landed on the island. This movement of mustering out fresh troops andcompelling war-worn veterans to tramp about the cocntry is well calculated to create discontentamong veterans thus treated. Gen. Opdyke and staff were passengers on the Irene for New Orleans.The flag-of-truce boat Rodolph arrived this morning from Arkansas river, where it had gone to paroleJeff. Thompson and command.

He urged that the confiscated lands forfeited by treason should be given to thesolliers who had put dow n the rebellion. In further connection with the subjet the general said :" When we give every guerdon to the citizen soldiers who went forth from the free north, fromMassachusetts, New England and from the states east aud west, guided by intelligence, instructedin their political right and burning,for the national honor, what shall We say of another class ofsoldiers, a class that had no instruction, no political rights.had had no joy in the past and littlehopes In the future ; what shall we say of those colored men who with intense lojaltyand patriotismvolunteered with us In our defence.

The Rebellion Still In Progress. Svecial Dispatchto the Western Associated Press. ... . New York, June 18. Advices from Hayti to the 27th ult. representthat the rebellion against the government is still in progress. Successes on both sides are reported.The rebels had seized three additional towns. They were attacked, defeated, and routed. Geffrardhad issued a proclamation offering pardon to all except the leaders, and in consequence a numberof sol- dieis who had engaged in the rebellion had returned to their allegiance. Martial law had beendeclared in the rebellious sections of the country. Confederate Prisoners.

OrriOB or Thb Chicago Tikbs, iSaturday evening, June 17. f Jay Cooke is about to issue another pamphlet, of which he is favoringthe press already with advance sheets, claiming that "our national debt is a national blessirg." Ifthis were really so.no good citizen should be in favor of paying either the principal or interest;one shou'd be annually added to the other, the debt augmented year by year, and the nationalblessing rendered more complete. Our national debt is a blessirg to that very small portion ofthe nation holding the bonds, but as far as other parties and the public generally are concerned,the national debt is a national curse. To say that 13,000,000,000 have been bjrned up in powder,a million and a half of men withdrawn for four years from the productive industry of the country,whole states devastated with fire and sword and thousands of individuals reduced to beggary, aud


still the nation, in the aggregate, no poorei, but richer to just the extent of the money expendedin all this destruction, is an assertion so eminently ridiculous that it Is strange Mr. Jay Cooke hasthe hardihood to give it to the country with his indorsement. Probably Mr. Jay Cooke has found thenational debt a blessing to himself, a large portion of the bonds have passed through his hands,and he has received from the national government a liberal percentage, which has made him im-mensely wealthy. But Mr. Jay Cooke must not fancy himself the nation, and his individual bless- ingsnational blessings. It would be impossible to say everything which this ridiculous pamphlet sug-gests, and yet there are one or two things which should be said The pamphlet uses this language :"The Englishman's 20,000 in consols are mort- gages, each and all, upon every nobleman's estateand every spinning jenny in Groat Britain, upon ev- eiy coal mine and upon every ship, a mortgageof record upon every mug of beer held in the fist of a workingman throughout the kingdom, amorfaê signed, eealod, aid delivered, on the whole life, aye, on the death and burial, of the peopleof iiil'England. * * * This promise to pay Is backed up by the most vigilant, distrustful and thoroughsystem of taxation, for the enforcement ot which the whole pow-er of the government, militaryand civil, is pledged." And this "mortgage npou the life, aye, death and burial, of the people of allEngland," " backed up by the most vigilant and thorough system of taxation," is cited as a nationalblessing, the cause and source of all their national prosperity. We have the mortgage upon our life,death, and burial, and we will have the same vigilant and thorough system of taxation, which willinvade our incomes by a thousand artifices and subterfuges, until, of all things we now see or feol,the light and the rain of heaven will be the only things not taxed. If the levy of enormous taxes, tobe expended, not in the improvement of the national domain and property, but in the support ofthonsa- ds of officers necessary to their collection, and in the payment of interest to the holders ofbonds, then the national debt is a blessing, otherwise, not. It is claimed that the bonds are a bless-ing 'O the country because they can be used in the purchase of machinery, etc. 1 hej will not go sofar in this direction as the proper ty given to the government in exchange for the bonds' and themachinery,,when purchased, Is not of half as much value, because we must be taxed year by yearto pay the interest, and, ultimately, to pay the principal of the bonds. There is only one exceptionto this rule, and that Is in the case of shoddy contractors, when the bonds are of more value thanthe property exchanged for them. The national debt is a blessing to those who handle bonds forthe government upon large commis- sions ; it is a blessing to shoddy contractors whose wealthconsists in the money stolen from the government and represented in additions to its debt ; it isa blessing to a class of third-rate politicians, who will be provided with fat offices in the collec- tionof revenues to pay the interest; it is a blessing to fOreip-nern. who hayo pu.i.l.a;ca bonjo uX OUC tObe redeemed at 100c ; it is a blessing to large capi- talists, who can thus exempt themselves fromtaxa- tion. To all others it is a curse, intensified by all the benefits it confers on favored ones. Thereare other features of this question which will be alluded to hereafter.

Silver was dull and brokers were paying133^131 for large lots. Five-twenties were buying at 102^, and selling at 103. Ten-forties were buyingat 95) and selling at 96^. Cook county scrip was unsteady at 99@par for old. There is nothing newin local financial matters. Mr. G. A. Ives. manager of the clearing-house, re. ports the clearings forthe week at $9,152,780 02 against $8,964,691 72 last week. In Cincinnati the demand for money israther light, and, as currency is in fair supply, the market is woiking easy, and first class borrowersfind no difficulty In negotiating accommodations at 6 per cent, for unexceptionable names, and810 per cent, for good bnsiness paper. The market for exchange is working a good deal closer. Thereceipts are light and the demand quite active. The nominal rates are still maintained at par buyingand 1-10 prem. selling, but in many instances the dealers have allowed 50c per $1,(00 prem., andthey refuse to draw (xcept for their regular customers, or those to whom they are under obligations,at the selling rate. In Philadelphia money Is very easy, and is readily obtained on call at 6 per cent.Prime commercial paper is being made to a very limited extent, and the rates range at from 7 to 8per cent, per annum In Boston money is Btill quite easy of access, and the demand for it at the banksand in the epen market is not sufficiently large to give full employment to idle balances. The currentrate of interest for loans on approved collaterals is six per cent, for short time, and there are morelenders than borrowers. More is charged for longer periods, aud on miscellaneous pledges, but thetransactions are comparatively small, and confined to a limited circle chiefly between stock dealersand their regular customers.

Provisions wererather quiet to-day, but firm. There have been gome heavy purchases In the market recently ongovernment account, one lot of 280,(00 pounds rough sides having been reported to- day, as madesome days since, terms, however, not announced. This lot goes to St. Louis, as do also, some 80,000pounds of shoulders, the sale of which was cnnonnced in this morning's issue. The com- missaryhere advertises for proposals for 5,000 bbls of mess and prime mess pork, and 500,000 pounds ot


dry, smoked bacon, short rib sides, hams, or shoulders. Holders are very firm In view of this contract,and no conceEsirnneed be looked for until the bids are opened, which will be on Wednesday next.We note sales to day of mess pork at $26 50; of prime mess pork at $19 50, and of sweet pickledhams at 16)@17c, weighed out of the brine. There was no improvement to notice in the tin. settledcondition of the wool market. The same apathy that has characterized the operations of bothlocal and eastern purchasers for the past week, continues to depress the market. Manufacturershave sent a few agents out as " feelers," with instructions not to pay over 50c for fair to choicewestern grades, and 40@45c for common to medium fleece. But as farmers were generally foundunwilling to sell at Buch figures, the agents have been recalled, leaving the market almost entirelyin the hands of local buyers. New York and Boston houses have instructed their agents here notto pay over 4045c for fair to good fleece washed, and 48@5Cc for tub- washed wools of this state,Wisconsin, and Iowa. And the result of such extreme views keeps the mar' ket at a s tand still. TheDetroit Tribune of the 15th says: "The market is without change. The most no- ticeable feature isthe apathy of purchasers, partic- ularly eastern ones. The only eastern operator we have heard olin these parts left for home yesterday without having accompl ished anything. The miun fucturersregard 50c as their "ultimatum," and we have seen a letter from a firm in Boston in which it insistedthat although EOc will do very well to rnanulacture on for present requirements, It will not co tospeculate on. The firm referred to usually purchase 1,100,000 lbs, of which about half is workedup and the rest sold. We have reports of sales at Grand Rapids, Albion, Dexter, Lansing Fentonville,and Detioit, mostly at 50c as the outside figure for choice. Occasionally, however, 53c is paid byoveranxious buyers, bnt we can hear of no higher figure The indifference of manufacturers arisesfrom the prevailing impression tuat, although local spi-cola-ors may load themselves, they cannotmonopolize the maritet. So long as wool was In demand for army goods, no particular dis tmctionwas made between fine and coarse if anything the latter was preferable. The old order of things isrestored in this matter, if in nomine else and coarse rules TSMOc b'low fine " The New iork Journalof Commerce of the 11th has the fo lowing : "The market is dull and heavy.

Ihe Federal Court-Confiscation. n-u tj. v , New York, June 18. Ihe RichmondRepublican of the 11th says the officers of the federal court are now in this city pre paring bnsinessfor the term which will be held In October next. The policy seems to be to proceed atamst the


property, real and personal, of all persons included in the fourteen classes who are denied thebe nefits of thegeneral amnesty by the late proclamation. Nearly :il)0 different properties arealready embraced in these pioceedings, and the number of course increasing. It is very prejudicialto the business cf the city, which in many departments is brought to a staud still. It is stated that75 pieces of property in Richmond have been already libeled for conflsca tion, which 18 only abeginning. The proceeding Is against the property itself, the owner not being made a party to thecause. FROM MEXICO. Featlvltles at the Capital-Maximilian'* Popularity He Expressest FriendlyFeeling; Towards the United States- Horse Railroads. Special Dispatch to the Western AssociatedPress. 1 New York, June IS. The Herald's city of Mexico letter gives an account of life in that capital.During the winter the empress has given numbers of state balls, at which all the ceremonial andmagnificence of European courts are carefully copied. The dresses of the ladieB are in the la6tParisian styles, and jewelry and diamonds appear in prolusion. Military officers appear in fulluniform, and most dignified formality is obseived. The French officers and soldiers do not like Mex-ico, and are anxious to go home. It is thought Max- imilian would be glad to get rid of the Frencharmy and Fiench influence. The correspondent says Maximilian's popularity is increasing, and thathe is displaying much intelligence, forbearance, enterprise and wisdom. He is described as friendlyto the United States. A short time since he is reported to have said let the United States understandme and recognize my government, and I will open a market here for millions of products, andmanufactures and inven- tions. For the north to become my enemy and break up my governmentwould but remand Mexico Into her former Btate of anarchy and disorder. The United States shouldwish for a valuable, progres- sive, thrifty neighbor in Mexico, not a slothful? un- productive peoplewho can never do any.hing with Mexico themselves nor can make Mexico useful to lie rest of theworld. The correspondent says Maxmilian has given a litcralsnbsidy to the Vera Cruz and New YorkCombination Fuel. An employe in the surgeon general's office at Washington has discovered anewuse for petroleum. His invention consists of a simple process of adhering the debris or dust of coalmines or yards with petroleum Into lumps or blocked masses, which ingnite readily>ithout use ofsoft coals or kindlings, lasts longer, and gives out a more Intense heat than ordinary anthracites, andcosts about half as much. The Iron Clads. Only a few f the iron- clads will be retained in commission.The rest will be pickled down somewhere, probably in the Dela- ware river, or else sold for old iron.This is good policy, as it is easier and cheaper to build new vessels, of the proper style, when wewant them, than to keep the old ones In repair, with the prospect of their becoming old fogylsh andsuperannuated, in a few years, by the growth of the mechanical arts. The Irish Language. A clericalspeaker, at tbe Irish Educational society in London, to show the importance of having teachersof the scriptures in the Irish language, gave the numbers of the per sons in several counties whospoke "the Irish language only. These were in Waterford, 10,467; Claae, 7,126; Cork, 16,704; Kerry,24,971; Donegal, 22.166 ; Mayo, 82,2.8; and Galway, 41,512. Confederate J3onds. A correspondentof the London Daily News, having invested in confederate cotton bonds, writes to that journal


for information in regard to the probability of their redemption by the American government.The News assures its correspondent that he " Is just in the position of a creditor whose debtorhad died leaving no executor and no assets." War. Every nation, some time during its career, hasbeen afflicted with the scourge of war, yet we are furnished by history with many instances of thewonderful rapidity with which countries recov- er from the effects of the scourge, and with whichthey achieve even greater prosperity and power than they enjoyed before they were exposed to theterri- ble ordeal.

( There was a good demand for all kinds of pro- dcc this morning,and under its impulse, the markets opened very favorably, at somewhat better prices than thoseprevailing towards the close on yesterday. The gold premium, however, fell of from the openingprice, producing a weakness in the general markets, which induced holders to concede somethingon prices of all descriptions. Flour was inactive, and prices a shade more favorable to buyersthan on yesterday; sales today were quite meagre, at $6@6 50 for fair to good spring extras. Therewas very little done in other grades, and we note small sales, insufficient to establish prices, at $450@5 for spring superflnes, and at $525 for winter superflnes. Wheat opened this morning a littlebetter than the closing prices of yesterday, early sales having been made as high as $117!4 for No.1 spring. The market, however, was depressed by the weakness in gold, and prices fell off to $116?


^, at which the market closed very quiet. There was a fair business done at these prices, the salosaggregating some 1C0,000 bushels. In No. 2 spring there was a fair activity, and at prices rangingfrom $103#c@l 04c. There were, besides, small sales of No, 1 red winter at $1 35@1 39; of extrared winter at $1 40c ; and 0 extra spring, at $119c. -JCorn was in bnt fair demand, and the marketruled rather heavy and closed quiet. No 1 opened at 58c, and at the close there were sellers at ST%c and buyers at 57c. No 2 opened at 55 i^c and sold down to 54Jic, but rallied towards the closeto 55c. There was little done In rejected at44)tf@46c. There was a fair amount of business donein canal corn at 59H00c for No 1 afloat, and at 60.K61c free on board vessel. Oata were in goodspeculative demand, the market was very irregular, and the volume of business oy no meanslarge. The market opened at 85^0 and sold down to 52c, rallying from this point, and doting at 5Cc,sheeting as follows; "Newr York ii}ic; Vorest Dale oJJic ; Lonsdale 3Bc ; Hill 4-4 32c; Hi" River 18c;Canoe 15c. Cotton cassimere8 were in fair request, especially light colors, and prices wery steadyat 85c for Far- mers'and Mechanics'; 85c for Everett L; 80c for Everett O; and 60c for York Mills.The grocery market closed m this evening, the range of prices on all staple ;;oods being substanti-ally the same as quoted last evening. It has been a favorable week for the trade, and althoughprices have not, perhaps, responded to the advance In gold to the extens that many anticipated,yet the advance indifferent articles was well sustained, indicating a firm and healthy condition oftrade. We quote coffee to day, firm at,30x@34Hc for common to choice Rio, and 39@40c for O. G.Java. The stocks both here and at the east are so reduced, that there Is but little probability of anydecided reduction in prices at present. Sugar was also firm, at 18Ji17c for common to choice Cuba;12J1314c for Port- land; 12Ji@l2!/2c for Oxnard. 17@20tfc for jobbing figures, yet sound lots couldbe bought at M@Xc per lb less. All side goods in this branch of trade were steady at quotations.In fish there is no special change. Lake descriptions are represented by dealers as in light sup-ply, and are held firm at full prices. Coa and mackerel are in good supply for the season, andrather quiet. Bills of considerable size are being filled at slight concessions. There haj been a fairaverage business done during the week, and we quote the market as closing steady and unchanged.Fruits were in good request to-day, and lemons were scarce and firm at $15@10; oranges steadyat $13@14; pine apples 4 50@5, and raisins $5 75 *8 87>4 for MR's, and $6 6 25 for layers. Driedapples were dull at 8@10c, according to quality. There was but little inquiry for dried small fruitsand prices were weak and favored buyers. All descriptions of nuts were in good snpply and l@3cper lb lower. Butter was In fair request at 15@!7c for fresh roll, and 12@14c for fresh firkin. Eggswere scarce and prices were at so wide a range that quotations are of little value. We quote therange at 17@20c, and in few instances 22c for assorted lots in tubs, was realized. Cheese was ingood supply, and prices ruled steady, at 19@20c for Hamburg, and 18@19c for western reserve.Coal with the exception of $1 per ton reduction on Blossbnrgh, was dull and unchanged.

CATTLE-The market to day was rather quiet and prices were in a measuremore unsettled and irregular, especially on lower grade stock. The bcstdipves that were leftoverlast evening were Bbippcd through on drovers' acouut, which loft little but common to mediumbutchers' Btock on sale today. There has been no reconciliation between the views of buyers andsellers on good shipping steers, and the result has been that a large portion of the best stock wassent through on owners' account. There seemB to be a labored eiiort in certain quarters to " bear"the market by quoting the market dull and depressed when the reverse is too often the fact. Chicagocertainly claims the largest live stock market in the United States, and Illinois Is justly entitled tothe credit 01 furnishing more than one-half of the entire sup- Pky*JuldwS believe it to be not onlythe right, but the duty of western stock-growers to reap the profit on their labors instead of givingit to New York operators and "middle mon."

The country mess that is held here is in the hands of commissionmer- chants, who, as long as their margins are kept good, are in no hurry to sell, hence but little onthe spot can be bad until a decline comes, when there may be more offered than wanted.
