spring being now fairly begun, navigation has
opened on the rivers, and soon will be
on the lakes and canals. The icy blockade
is broken by the genial atmosphere Of a
delightful season, vand business has at once
assumed buoyancy which promises well
for an improved spring and summer trade.
Already the effects are observable in the hustle
and activity which prevail all over the city
in the opening of the millinery magasins; the
flashing Of bright groups up and down Broad

DESPERATE SrRAIGHrs or THE REBELs.-1t is
not long ago 81 ce some OF the Southern papers
strongly advocated that the types in the print
ing Offices, and the solder from the old iron
fences. should be melted down to make
bullets in consequence Of the scarcity Of lead.
They recommended that all the old type metal
should be used first, and if that was not suffi-
cient then let the new type go; for what were
newspapers compared to bullets in such an
emergency? A still more novel mode of sup
plying the desperate necessities Of the rebels is
now urged 1t is no less than proposition to
all the churches TO send in their bells to the
arsensls, to be cast into light artillery guns, az
there is an absolute dearth of the kind Of metal
required for that purpose. The clergy are
promised that new bells shall be cast for them
when the war is over. These incidents show 70
what terrible straights the subjects Of jeff
Davis are reduced for the materials Of war
Surely the balls thrown from this church bell
artillery would issue tones of reprosch upon
the unholy cause in which they we're employed

REPORT OF GENERAL Wool ABOUT THE
AFRICANs-A Congressional document lies be-
fore us, purportng to be report Of General
Wool in answer to q resolution of the House
of Representatives requiring " the number, age
and condition Of the Africans in bis district"
AS the resolution does not indicate the parti-
cular condition" upon which information is
desired, there is wide scope for speculation
as to what the Congressman meant, and to cover
the whole ground it would have been necessary
for General Wool to employ host of doctors,
divines, moral philosophers and political econo-
mists, to ascertain the physical, intellectual,
religious, moral and social condition of the
negroes in his military district. We had almost
forgotten to add that, in order to answer the
resolution, il would be necessary to inquire
what was the military proficiency of each, and
what wa. his aptitude in the use of firearms
and what the amount of his animosty against
his former master, who compelled him to work
in order to get go,d living food, good
clothes and good lodging-whch it requires all
the energies of the majority Of white men to
win for themselves and their families, without
having dollar to spare for rainy day.
General Wool, as a practical man, confines
his inquiries to the physical condition
of the negroes; whence it appears that
if they are not well of they ought to be- as far
as food is concerned, inasmuch as they receive
each soldiers ration per day, though they do
not perform at best more than three-quarters Of
a days labor. 1t is said they have been cheat
ed both in food and clothing. But we verify
believe the white man has been cheated far
more-a matter of small consequence to the
nigger-worshipping fanatics who lavish all their
sympathies on the blacks. There are soldiers
wives in New York whose claims TO charity, If
not TO justice, are completely ignored, and
compared with them the lazy negroes in the vi
cinity Of Fortress Monroe live like princes. 1t
is disgraceful to occupy generals time with
such absurd inquiries as are involved in the re-
solution of Congress. His business is to put
down the rebellion and restore the Union, and
not to look after blacks, who must take care of
themselves, like white men, or return to their
masters

TINS WEEKS NEws.We shall most probably
hear during the present week that our armies are
in possession Of the forts which command the en-
frances to New Orleans; Of Fort Pulaski, which
defends the mouth of the Savannah river, and
Of Fort Macon, at the wator approach to Beau
fort. Thus, with the forts at Hatteras, Hilton
Head. and Forts Clinch and Marion, on the Flo
rida coast already in our possession we shall
only have to keep up naval blockade at three
or four points, namely, Wilmington, Charleston,
Mobile and Galveston. Our ships will then be
released from blockading service, and will be
available for any other duty in this country or
lsewheye.

government are requested to send statement
OF the fact. with description and weight of
the bell, to the Chief of the Bureau Of Ord
nance at Richmond, for record in the War De-
partment."
We reproduce these specifications because of
the light which they throw upon our argument
Down to this call for bell metal and light ar
tillery the rebels have depended mainly upon
the heavy navy and fertilization cast-iron guns
secured with the seizure Of our federal forts,
navy yards and arsenals, from Norfolk to New
Orleans. But these guns, adapted only to sea
service or to stationary work on land, having
been found insufficient to arrest the march of
"Lincoln's armies at any point, from the
Potomac to the Mississippi, this system of war
fare is to be superseded by an active cutting
in and cutting out guerilla system on large
scale, provided with flying artillery, for which
brass is an indispensable article, in order to
secure gun Of the requisite strength, lightness
and durability. Hence this extensive demand
for bell metal. We had supposed however,
that there was brass emo u gh in the composition
of our rebel leaders for pyramid Of light artil-
lery; but it now appears that this peculiar
brass is Of no more real value than the substi-
tutes for "tin" issued from the rebel treasury.
This call upon the churches for their bells to
be cast into cannon is not new expedient of
war. 1t is an old device of tho Mexicans; but
we cannot perceive that they have derived any
advantages from it in the way of independence,
after forty years of such experiments as this Of
JEFF. Davis and his confederates. But still this
appeal from the Ordnance Bureau at Richmond
is entitled to our attention. From late de-
spatch of General Wool, from Fortress Monroe
it appears that, in his opinion, our tr oops on
their way to Richmond will meet with no seri-
GUS opposition Should this opinion be con-
frmed by facts, no further evidence will be
needed to show that the rebels have abandoned
their late defensive system for general system
of guerilla operations, and that some portions
of our great and heavy armies must be broken
up into numerous light dctachmcnts, in order
that no marauding rebel guerillas may be left
behind our line of advance to waste the coun-
try and cut off our supplies from the rear.
Meantime we are strong in the belief that
within few days we shall have such glorious
tidings from the Southwest and from Virginia
as will satisfy the Southern people of the folly
Of converting the ''sound of their church-going
bells" into the horrid music of field artillery.
But, in any event, this subject Of new rebel
system Of warfare is interesting and suggestive;
and so we pass it over TO the attention of Presi-
dent Lincoln and his actire right hand man in
the great work of this war, Mr.. Secretary
Stanton.

The knights of the Golden Circle
--AnOthPr RackslOwM

On the 4th Of April, 1862, the editor OF
the Republican organ in Sandusky County,
Ohio, made the following charge: h. s.....
"0ur readers will recollect that we stated
last lall that a castle of the Knights was
10 full blast IN this county, and that they
held their regular, but secret meetings in
this town. We did not make the statement on
mere supposition, but aohat zoe deemed sufficient
evidence Of the fact. The outward signs
(though these were not on what we based
the charge) were conclusive. The order
exists among us yet in full vitality, and it is
time that these proceedings were fully inyes-
tigated.' @@ @& t
When the Grand Jury Of Sandusky
County met they did investigate the charge,
as desired. The Republican editor was sum !.
moned before it, to tell all he knew. What
then transpired is thus told by the Sandusky
(Ohio) Messenger: % a
"He denied under oath every single state.
ment he bas made through his paper, in the
article alluded to above. He stands before
the people to day selfconyicted alsiher
and slanGerer Of men better than himself
He denied knowing any thing about any
sucn an organization az the knights of the
Golden circle, or Of knowing any one who
did any thing about it. He denied that he
had so charged in his paper, when one oil
the Jury pulled out OF his pocket a paper
and read the article to, him he confessed that
when he published it hs had no knowledge
Of the truth Of his statement and charges %
That has been the result in every county
where the Grand Jury have Investigated the
matter. The only knights Of the Golden
Circle are the contractors and office holders
who have stolen from the Government.

Another Dem ocratic victory.

On Saturday, May oath, there was Con-
gressional election in Pennsylvania, in the
District composed of the counties of Bucks
and Lehigh, for the expired term of Hon.
Thomas B Cooper, deceased. John D. Stiles
the Democratic candidate, was elected by
more than .fUe hundred majority being a
gain for the Democracy Of one thousand since
the last Presidential election. Mr.. Stiles
encountered the usual fate OF Democratic
candidates in these times--that Of being de-
nounced as a "Breckinridge secessonist," a
"sympathyzer with treason" "Vallandig-
hammer" etc, etc, etc. The Republican
papers.in the district undertook to make the
issue one between loyalty and disloyalty to
the Government, claiming, of course, that
their candidate was loyal, while Mr.. Stiles,
was stigmatized as being disloyal. In spite,
however, Of this reprehensible system, Of O.
lectioneering the Democracy came out of the
contest, having made an immense gain in the
district. The patriotic and loyal tax payers
OF the counties of Bucks and Lehigh were
not to be bambcozled by the transparent vii,
lainy Of the Republican leaders, with John
W. Forney at their head.
The charge that Democratic candidates
sympathize with dIsloyalty and treason which
has been iteratsd and re-lterated by Aboli-
ton Disunlonists, has begun to react, and is
now adding thousands to the Democratic
majorities wherever elections are being held.
The people now understand that this is the
last card Of sinking politicians and have ac-
quired the wholesome habit of rebuking those
who use it.--StatesmIp.
