Gen. Corcoran ut Philadelphia.
HIS SPEECH AT INDEPENDENCE HALL.

HIS SPEECH Al lNDEPENDENCE HALL.
On the arrival of Gen. Corcoran at Indepen-
dence Hail. Philadelphia, on Thursday, he was
received by Mayor Henry in patriotic speech
to which the general replied, saying Permit
me to express my heartfelt thanks for this kind
and hospitable reception which is itself suffi-
cient to repay years of suffering. Here in this
hall, VIII ere birth was given to the declaration
of independence, surrounded by the efhgies of
past statesmen, can hardly conceive that the
degenerate sons of those men should, ere their
bones are mouldering in the dust, endeavor to
drag down the edifce for which they gave their
lives to the country. An effort is being made
to trample under foot all the liberty which we
enjoy. This demonstration has filed me with
10Y beyond mention, and has made me feel
strong enough to fulfil the promise | made in
the South that within twenty -four hours after
| arrived at home should commence to organ
ize a body of men, all could gather around
me- and 20 at them again. | am proud to be
able to say that my countrymen are doing their

a few days to recruit and do not intend to wear
my uniform in any other place than on the bat
tie field.
The general was then introduced to num-
ber of citizens. and re-entering his carriage
proceeded to the Continental Hotel, where an
immense assemblage was gathered. In COM
pliance with their urgent entreaties, Gen. Cor
coran appeared on the balcony and said he was
not vain enough to consider this demonstration
a personal compliment, but only an evidence OF
the devotion to the noble institutions under
which they live, and for which they believe he
had suffered. You have turned out to show
your appreciation of my efforts to sustain the
constitution from fate that threatens to en-,
gulf it, and although was not successful, bu
soon fell victim, you would make one believe
that "the ittest place for man to die is wher,

Terrible Retribution for the Murder of Gen.
McCook,

McCook
Our correspondent connected with the d.
vision of Gen. McCook, at Battle Creek, Tenn,
furnishes us with the following authentic ac-
count of the terrible retributior upon the in
habitants living near the scene of the murder.
by the Ohio Ninth -
"The 9th Ohio is German Regiment and
was raised by Brgader General Willck. now
commanding General Johnson's brigade in our
division. The regiment were wholly devoted
to Gen. McCook, they loved him with all the
ardor OF the German soul, and only awaited an
opportunity to attest their fidelity by the most
heroic daring. TO enrage such men, is to en-
sure terrible vengeance.
And this they carried out upon the inhabit-
ants OF the country around the scene of this
cold-hlooded murder. The next morning. the
entire regiment, smarting under the loss of
their noble commander, and their rage intensi-
fled by nursing their passion during the pre-
vious night, proceeded to scour the country.
Every citizen they found they shot or hung
every honse they passed unless positive proof
was given of their Union sentiment, was burned
to the ground with all its contents, while the
women and childron were compelled to stand
by and see it burn.
In this way some seventy-fve citizens were
made to pay the vindic i've penalty for this
guerilla attack, and, undoubtedly, many of them
received a merited DEATH But some, alas, it is
feared suffered wrongfuly, the fearful punish
ment. Some sixty houses were burned also
1t is not my nature to justify such proceed
ings But it can but teach the people of Ten
nessee that in this war there can be but two
sides. They must either be for God or for the
Deyil-for the Union or for Treason. There is
no stand between. Those who seek to occupy
that position, will invariably rue the neutrality
they have maintained. Traveller.

TREACHERoUS EMPLOYMENT OF REBEL FLAGS
OF TRUCE.-'rhe rebels, with all their gascon-
ade about chivalry, high toned sentiment and
honorable observance OF the rules OF war,
have, from the beginning of onf national
troubles practiced the most disgracelul dupli-
city wherever they had chance OF doing so.
There can be no more daslardly proceedings
on the part of belgerent than OF attempting
to gain information of the movements OF the
enemy under cover of a flag of truce and yet
that is a favorte device of the rebels. Time
and again have they practiced it, with more or
less success. According to our correspondence,
published the other day, they did not succeed
very well at Savannah last week, where they
tried this same dodge.
1t seems that the rebel steamer General Lee
was observed coming down the river under
flag of 'ruce, aud, the tug Thomas Foulkes
having been sent from Fort Pulaski to meet
her, it appeared that her sole mission was to
have lady and child who were on board for
warded North. The Union officer, having COM
municated to the commander OF the Tort the
innocent object of the visit, returned TO the
rebel vessel, lying at the extreme o, our guns
and requested her to remain III tha' posit'oh
until the department at headquarters eoulu oe
signalized. Compliance W IN the request was
,'sonn;sed hut no sooner had the tug steamed
bocl than the rebel boat put on all steam for
savannah, without waiting for the accomplish
,,,opt of her mission. This movement strength
ered the suspicion entertained of her, and the
mo was speedily armed with two brass guns
and sent in pursuit of her. She overhauled
the rebel near Savannah, and captured her.
Then il was that the real object OF her visit to
Fort Pulaski was ascertained for among the
persons ON board of her was the officer who
had been assigned to the command of the rebel
ram Fingal, now being in process of compile
ton at Savannah. This individual, Mr.. J..
Pembroke Jones, had come down, no doubt,
for the express purpose of seeing for himself
the best points for future operations with his
ram. He is now in our hands, and should be
treated, not as prisoner of war, hut as a spy
caught under the most Aagran, circumstances

DON'T DRINK MuCH WArER.-A p

Don't DRINK MUCH WATER.-A person in
good health, and in the moderate pursuit of
business, does not feel like drinking water,
even in the summer time, if not thirsty. In
fact great habitual thirst in summer is the
sign OF depraved appetite, resulting from bad
habits; or it is proof of internal fever nd
the indulgence of even so simple a thing as
drinking cold water largely in summer time,
especially in the carly part of the day, will
produce disordercd condition of the system.
Most persons have experienced more or less
discomfort from drinking largely ofcold water.
If we drink great deal, we must perspire a
great deal; this perspiralion induces a greater
evaporation or heat from the surface than
some have to spare ; the result is a chill, then
comes the reaction of fever.
Many 4 person arises from the dinner or
tea-table, in June, chilly because 100 much
cold fluids have been taken. Those who drink
little or nothing even of cold water, in sum-
mer till the afternoon, will be more vigorous,
more full of health and much more free from
bodily discomfort, than those who place no re-
straint on their potations.-Dr ". W. Hail.

BITTER REGRETs.-The National Intelligent
Ger says that among some correspondence lately
found on board a captured rebel vessel, was
letter from prominent citizen of Southern
State to his wife. The writer of the letter had
just made visit to Richmond, and was writ
ing his wife what he saw there. "The bitter
ness with which he condemns" the rebellion
and bevails the desolaton of his once "happy
and prosperous section of the Union is poured
out with all the ferver of sincerity" The lot

TIE CARTEL.-The cartel agreed upon
by Gems Dix and Hill for tbs exchange of
prisoners, provides that they are to be ex-
changed man for man and officer for officer, and
the rate of exchange for officers when privates
are returned is stated Thus commander-in-
chief or an admiral is rated at forty private
soldiers or seamen. A lieutenant in the army
or masters mate in the navy isvalued at four
men. Citizens are to be exchanged for citizens.
Prisoners of war are to be paroled in ten days
after their capture The surplus prisoners not
exchanged are to do no military service on
either side, and the provisions of the cartel are
to continue during the war. This agreement
has already been broken by the rebels, by the
incarceration of the captured officers from Gen.
Popes army as leons.
