DIAGRAM or THE FEDrnAL GovERNMENT AND

DIAGRAM or THE FEDERAL GovERNMENF AND
AMERIoAN UNION. This Is a beautiful eDgray-
ing or chart, representing the relative size and
population of the several States, and their
union under one Federal Constitution, and the
connection Of all and each with the several de-.
partments Of the Federal Government, leglsla-
tive, executive and judicial. Besides, there are
several striking emblemAtic illustrations Of
those things that Americans hold most dear
No description can do justice to this splendid
National Chart. ItmuSt be seen and studied
to be appreciated. It would, when framed,
make very appropriate ornament for q parlOr,
q library or ON office.
Mr.. Mcneil, the gentlemanly agent for the
sale Of the Chart, can be seen at the Buckeye
Hotel in this city. We understand that he is
desirous Of employing few active agents to
CANVASS the city.

A Fraud ON Governor sprague.

A gross fraud has been perpetrated by some
of the anti slavery party on the patriotic and
Democratic Governor Of Rhode leland A pam
phlet has been published, entitled Governor
SpYague's Pamphlet, containing large amount
of abolitionism. This has been widely copied
by the radical papers, and extracts are shoat,
headed Governor SprGgue's Anti-SlapsTy Vieps,
or with similar titles.
We are authorized to state that the pamphlet
IL a fraud on the Governor; that he not only
has never written anything Of the sort, but that
his views are distinctly opposed 70 those con-
tained in this fraudulent document
The radical papers will probably continue
the publication Of the forgery, and It should be
c0rrected By conservative papers wherever it is
found -Jouynsl Of Commerce. b

Who ARE THE EEEMTEs OF THE UHroN7-Let
Us take, upon this question, the testimony Of
one of the most devoted as well as most efficient
friends Of the Union:
"The worst enemies of the Constitution are
those whose constant cry is for the blood of the
rebels and the conhscation Of their estates, with
the emancipation Of the slaves, and who, to
reach their purposes, would trample the Consti-
tuition, the rights of property, and the princi-
pies Of humanity under foot, and blast forever
the prosperity Of the nation. Such men pro-
pOse TO establish, through Congressional ac-
tlon, provisional governments over theHeceded
States. .--Eztrdd from Speech Of Hon. james
Guthrie.

COUNCIL PRocEEDiNGs.-At the meeting Cf
the City Council on Monday evening last, Mr..
Comstock offered resolution authorizing the
committee on Ways and Means to borrow, for
the use of the city, the sum Of $4,000, of the
franklin Branch Bank, which was adopted.
Mr.. Wilson, to whom was referred the oFdi-
nance to amend an ordinance entitled "sn ordi-
nance defining the duties of the City Treasurer,
reported the same back, with amendments,
which were agreed to. The question being on
the final passage Of the ordinance, it was Op-
posed, because it reduces the salary of the
Treasurer from 800 to 5000, and repeals the
section Of the old ordinance requiring the at
tendance of the Treasurer at bis Office eight
hours each day.
The ordinance finally passed by the following
vote: -.

The "OLD FoLKS."-As we have already

They were recently at the beautiful city of Co.

formances and reception there: N
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings our
citizens turned out unprecedentedly to the con-
certs of the "0ld Folks" We have never seen
90 good an attendance at concert in Columbia
as that of Thursday evening, and that OF the
preceding evening was but little behind it, This
tells the story of the performance at once, with
out further comment. Ii was immensely popu-
lar, and, what is not by any means identical,
exceedingly good. The feature of the enter
tainment was, of course, the oddity of dress;
yet, 10 our eyes, this was but subordinate at
traction, If an Attraction at all. Without the
really fine singing OF. the choir, and the exceed.
ing sweet vocalization Of Mrs Nichols and Mrs.
Sheppard, not even "Aunt Rachel's" bonnet
nor "Cousin Reuben's" hat could have saved
the souls Of those gay young old folks. We
have never heard company whose united
voices so entirely satisfied US. As they raised
the grand old anthems the effect was impressive
and sublime. The solos, trios and quartettes
were admirable, and Mrs. Nichols (Will she
pardon our little outburstO was altogether
charming 10 voice, face and manner. Cousin
Reuben-albeit fully supplied--could have TAX
en- the hats of the entire audience, and we
hereby tender him our Oldest and worst, as
slight testimonial Of appreciation Of his "make
up" We hope the "0ld Folks" will call soon
again, and bring their knitting and stay to tea.

The FOURTH IN DoRCHEsTER.-Althouph
there was no general celebration in tins town,
our liberal and patriotic friend, Frederick +.
Hassman, Esq. seemed determined that no
amount OF causality should dampen his spirits
upon the day which inaugurated one period of
independence and mutual rights, and the de-
termination and pluck which gained them ap-
pear to have descended lineally in his person
and attachment to the olden times. AT his
residence was displayed an American flag
which was used in the revolution, as also one
which was hoisted at the highest point north
Isl degrees 10 minutes) by Haynes Arctic
Expedition, upon the 4th of March, 1861, in
honor of Abraham Lincoln. During the day,
salutes were fired from a cannon taken from
the wreck of the San Pedro Alcantara, which
was sunk in 1915, and raised by the Boston
Relief and Submarine Company, in 1857.
The air also rang with the thunder from n
gun taken from the old English frigate IIus.
sar, description of which from the donor of
said gun to the Dorchester Antiquarian Soci-
city, we give as follows:
This gun, from the old English frigate,
"Hussar," is in just the state in which it was
taken from the wreck in August, 1858, after
lying in the water rs years. The "Hussar"
was sent out from England during the revolu-
ton as a store ship, and was sunk in the East
river in Dec 1870, being then upon her pass
age from New York to Newport. Some 70
Americans, who were prisoners, and many of
the crew were drowned. The wreck now lies
in 70 feet Of water, the cannon being raised
from the same by Charles B. Pratt, ESQ, of
Worcester, with his submarine armor. Mr..
2. has worked upon the wreck, at intervals,
for some years, and has recovered many in
teresting relics, such as gold and silver coin,
shot, shell, muskets, and articles of slken
fabric, the latter in q perfect state of preser-
yation When the gun referred to came 10
hand the bore Of it was found to be complete
y filled with sand and rust, the same cover
ing piece OF rope, and all so firmly fixed,
that Mr.. Hassman, who has within few DAYS.
removed the obstruction, was forced to use a
cllsel and hammer in doing so. The rope
now smells almost as strongly Of tar as if but
recently from the mandatory.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE
PoToMAC, ON JAMES RIVER,
July 5, 1862, II NJ.
Since Tuesday everything has remained
comparatively quiet, the enemy not caring to
occupy the field of the last engagement. The
rain storm, which set in on Wednesday morn
ing, continued up to Thursday afternoon,
making the soil of a sticking consistency, and
the sutferings of the wounded and discomfort
of the tired and hungry army, can only be
imagined. For the last three days supplies
have been landed here, and eager hands
clutched at the hard bread, coffee and sugar,
while the roads are crowded with the ambu-
lances, bringing in thousands Of wounded men
from the last two battle fields. Many of those
who were previously wounded, have been
able to creep along in some manners rather
than fall into the hands of the rebels.
Thursday morning the enemy opened an at
tack with cavalry, artillery, and infantry, on
our rear, and for time there were some long
faces, and the army was ordered under arms
slight reconnaissance gave us information
OF the position and strength of the enemy, and
showed that by a little adroitness we might
capture the whole force. Accordingly Gen.
Davidson, with his brigade, proceeded to cut
off the rebel force, and soon returned with six
guns and some prisoners, the remainder
making their escape. They were pursued
some four miles. The success of this little
skirmish had an electrical effect upon our
men. The news was received with cheer af-
ter cheer and the army stock Immediately
moved up one hundred per cent
Gen. Mcclellan has removed his headquar-
tiers, and the army have advanced, in all some
five miles towards Richmond; having changed
front towards Richmond. General Summers
corps at first occupying position close on
the banks of the James river, has moved up
two miles, and Gen. Franklin's corps, Gen.
Keyes and Gen. Heintzleman have all gone
back on the road and are facing outward
with their line perfectly formed and reinforce
ments rapidly coming in. l should not be
surprised at a general advance up the river
toward Richmond at any time. The army is
by no means willing to accept the fighting of
the last few days as the closing of the cam
paign.
