the 30th of June, no less then 103,865 bales were exported from this country, nearly one half of the entire stock on hand. With the remainder the Liverpool and Manchester speculators are playing a beautiful game, and the excitement is becoming intense. According to the Manchester Guardian, "all sorts of people, quite unconnected, and you may rest assured that the actual amount of individual suffering is, and will be, greatly overstated by the politicians.

rcements which the President has called for. Other loyal cities, towns, and villages, will doubtless follow with like expressions of their zeal for the great and good cause. Shall Philadelphia, then, be silent and passive? Shall the community in which our nationality had its birth, and where the Federal Constitution was framed and adopted, utter no rallying cry at a time when the armed ranks of treason are threatening to destroy the nation and its liberties? Certainly not. The "City of Independence" must proclaim her fidelity and devotion to the Government in a voice that may be heard all over the land, and her citizens must do all that they individually and collectively can do to raise and again at once Penn- sylvania's quota of the three hundred thousand troops called for by the President. Will not those of our citizens who usually initiate such movements take forth worth the preliminary steps for a town meeting to declare the resolution of Philadelphia to support the war u

r for a movement, and the Committee on the Conduct of the War urged the necessity for such a movement. The President and Cabinet were in favor of some forward movement, and they were assured by Gen. McClellan that a move would be made very soon; that he never intended to go into winter quarters. And he did not. Our brave men spent the winter in canvas tents. At last, in January, the President gave the order "forward !" and those glorious events took place at Forts Donelson and Henry, Newbern, &c. The "do nothing strategy" seemed to give way, and the weeks and days of spades and pick-areas to be over. On the 22d of February the army of the Potomac was ordered to move, but it was not ready.--At last, on the 10th of March, it did move, under the protest of its commender. On the 10th of March, that army numbered 230,000 men by the muster roll. They marched to Manassas and the wooden guns of Centreville, and the enemy, less than 40,000, quietly moved away.

To prosecute the war at all hazards, at whatever cost, was the unmistakable determination of every citizen present. Recent disasters were acknowledged, but referred to only as additional incentives for a speedy response to the call of the President. The effects of such a gathering will be manifest, not only in increased enlistments in New York, but will be apparent throughout the loyal North. In Boston, Springfield, Mass., Portland, and various other places, meetings have also been held, at which the most earnest purpose to prosecute the war for the Union was expressed, and the most efficient measures were adopted to stimulate the enlistment of the reinforcements which the President has called for.

thered there by the War Department, but the troops were not sent at the appointed time, and the Navy Department could not find out the reason. The evidence further stated that the President assisted the Navy Department as much as he could with this plan, but Gen. McClellan objected, because he feared the arrangements for landing had not been made. Thus the nation was disgraced for months by the blockade of the Potomac, and the Capital was besieged by a force at no time half that of the United States. In December the nation began to clamor for a movement, and the Committee on the Conduct of the War urged the necessity for such a movement. The President and Cabinet were in favor of some forward movement, and they were assured by Gen. McClellan that a move would be made very soon; that he never intended to go into winter quarters.

Shelling the Steamers on James river. The "traveling batteries," as the Yankees call them, on James river, are inspiring a wholesome dread on the minds of our enemies. The bark Mustang was fired on from Fort Powhatan and the captain mortally wounded. A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, from on board the steamer Daniel Webster, which also received a salute, gives a description of the navigation of the James under difficulties: Passed several batteries, including that on Jamestown Island, all being deserted. I thought that perhaps it was only a rumor about the firing on our boats, but we soon learned that there was some truth in it. When about seven miles below this landing, seeing one of our gunboats at anchor, Captain Woods run by her slowly, and hailed her. "Gunboat ahoy !" "What'll you have?" came back from one of the officers. "How is it up above?" the Captain asked, not willing, I suppose, to take the responsibility of running his boat into a known danger. "It

This morning General Butler, with a few members of his staff, established himself in the fine residence of General Twiggs. General Shepley, Military Commandant, and the Assistant Military Commandant, Lieutenant Weitzel, took possession of the next house, the former property of Colonel Adams, who is now in Virginia with the rebel army. Seizure of Gen. Twiggs's swords. The swords of the late Gen. David E. Twiggs, presented to him respectively by the United States Congress, the State of Georgia, and the citizens of Augusta, Ga., have been seized by Picayune Butler at New Orleans. A letter from there to the Herald says: The night of the 23d of April, just before the fleet passed the forts, General Twiggs carried his swords and his silver plate to the house of one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic families in this city, and, as the members of the family say, presented them to one of their number. Mrs. Col. Myers also sent her plate and jewelry to the same house. T

slowly and gracefully as she had ever done in the old days when she presided in her salon at Washington. Frequently she would raise her glass to one eye and scan the objects around the office. A notice on the door especially attracted her attention, and afforded her particular amusement. It reads thus, "There is no difference between a he and she adder, in their venom." After she had been removed from the office she sent back a request that she might be exiled instead of being sent to Ship Island. Mrs. Phillips is a rather fine looking woman, and was dressed very neatly in white throughout. The funeral, which took place on Saturday evening, resulted in a scene so shocking that it is difficult to believe that it occurred in the nineteenth century, among a people who profess to be not only civilized, but Christianized. As the cortege moved through the streets, women, in the garb of ladies, flaunted secession badges, and mocked and jeered at the poor dead body of a brave boy, w
