speeeh br GenernI Rnrnsidc.


On Monday some fifty prominent citizens
of COvingtOn, Kentucky, paid their re-
spects to General Burnside, who responded
as follows:
ale was entirely unprepared to meet so
large a delegation as the one present. He
only expected to see half dozen or SO of
gentlemen, who desired to talk with him
in regard to the policy he ought to pursue
in the State they represent He had, pos
sibly, the faculty Of talking to a few per-
sons, but was no adept in impromptu
speaking. He was gratifed with the dis
play of their confidence, as he believed it
was honestly and candidly expressed
What industry, talent and physical ability
he possessed would be devoted 10 the cause
Of his country. He came to this depart
ment to enter this contest without enter
tainiEg the slightest personal enmity
against any person; that his love of coun-
try and her interests induced him to for
sake home, kindred and friends. He owed
nothing to any other nation, and desired
no other ambition than the success of our
arms and the restoration Of our much-loved
Union. After alluding to the honesty and
justice on which the Government was
founded and to be perpetuated, the General
proceeded to give a general view of the
policy which would actuate him. He was
thankful for the kind manner in which his
name had been mentioned by the speaker.
He had tried to do his duty, but had made
mistakes. We are all liable to make mis-
takes. But he would gladly correct any
errors he might fall into, if possible. He
was always ready to listen to the honest
suggestions Of friends, and hoped that tho
present difficulties and troubles in Ken
tuoky would soon be at an end, aud that
the time was not far distant when Ken
lucky would be as peaceful as Ohio, Hi
nOis, Indiana, and other Northern States
now are, and he assured the delegation
that no pains would be spared on his part
to accomplish that end. He again thanked
them for the indications given of their con
fdence, and pledged his devotion to the
interests of Kentucky and cur common
country"

The Morning Post POUNDS threatening

FROM WASHINGTON.


Herald's special
Intelligence received tonight from Win
chester, Virginia, shows that by recent
reeonnoisances it has been ascertained
that there is no rebel force within 35 miles
Of that place.
Times special:
Under stringent enforcement of the
order issued recently by General Heintzel-
man, dislOyal inhabitants of that vicinity
find it almost impossible to maintain COM
municatiOn with their friends across the
border.
Hon. E. g. spaulding of Buffalo, has
been mentioned to-day as possible ap-
pointee to the vacant Office of Comptroller
of Finances.
It is said that the President positively
refuses, for the present, to grant authority
to raise more negro regiments.
Worlds special:
The President will visit the Army of the
Potomac tomorrow, if the weather per-
mits.
Special to the Tribune from General
COUGHS Headquarters:
Major General Howard, commanding the
ID division Of Couchs corps, has been as
signed temporarily to the command of
Sigel's corps. General Gibbon has been
assigned 10 the command Of Howe~ds di-
vision.
The recent rains, and the snow storm of
last night, left the roads in a very bad coz
ditiOn.

undsrrround Mil Routes.

The rebels have grapevine telegraph,
not very reliable to be sure, and there is
no doubt that there is a regular corres-
pondenoe between their sympathizers in
the interior Of our State and their armies
in Dixie, by means of an underground
mail route carried on by female rebels in
Kentucky, and thus on through the United
States mails. It is well known, for in
stance, that in Lebanon, Marion county,
the rebel women are constantly receiving
letters from the border counties through
the mails or otherwise, and answering
them in the sumo way. This is effected
through agents at certain offices on the
borders of the State to whom letters are
directed enclosing others to be sent across
the lines and remailed in the COnfederacy,
or delivered as circumstances will allow.
This mode of communication is very COM
mon at this time. We are assured that
there is scarcely a mail arriving at Leb-
anon from Burksville, Cumberland county,
or Somerset, Pulaski county, that does not
contain letters for active female rebels in
that town. This may all be proper family
or friendly correspondence, but we cannot
resist the opinion that much important in
formation is thus sent forward to the rebel
leaders, and intelligence of their contem-
plated invasions received in return. Ger
tain it is that the Lebanon rebels are thor
oughly posted in regard to the movements
of the rebels beyond our lines, and have
for some time past been anticipating their
arrival, and rejoicing over the prospect Of
rother raid into Kentucky.-Lo,isUil

NEWS FRO1I HINTON HEAD.

NEW ORK, April 1.
A Hilton Head letter Of the 9th says =
I wrote you a day or two since of the
alarming destitution existing in the city
of Savannah. Since then we have re-
ceived into our lines several deserters
from the rebel defenses at Austins Bluff
and Thunderbolt, who more than confirm
my statements. They affirm that the daily
rations of the troops consist of four ounces
of bacon and seven Of corn meal. In con-
sequence of their privations very many Of
the rebel troops are falling sick, and all
are fearing illness. The last batch of de-
serters who came in assert that only for
the fact that they are kept at inside post
duty the entire regiment to which they be-
long would desert.
From what is deemed to be a source en-
tirely trustworthy, learn that all women
and children have been ordered out Of Sa-
vsnnah. They left the city on Monday
and Tuesday. This measure was induced
not more by fear Of an attack than by the
inability Of the commanding General to
subsist the troops while so many nOn-eOm-
batants were to be fed.

SALE OF THE PROPELLER BRADBURY
Captain Frank Perew has sold the propeller
Bradbury to J. c. & E. 7. Evans, of Buffalo,
for $50, 900. She will run on Evans line
between Buffalo and Chicago. The Brad
bury was built at this city six years ago by
Moses. She is good boat, and one of the
most mOney-making propelIers of her size on
the Lakes. She will be commanded by Cap
tain McNalley.
Evans Propeller Line consists of six boats.
They are the Bradbury, iron propeller
Merchant, Iowa, Queen Of the Lakes, Nile,
and one other whose name we do not know.
The line is a good and reliable one, and will
doubtless do heavy business this season.
The iron propeller Merchant, of this line, has
proved a complete success.

had left. A Southern blockade runner was
at the same time openly in command Of a
new English vessel built for war for the
Emperor Of China.
British enmity is a matter we can stand.
and British power we can meet, but official
duplicity and lying is more difficult to deal
with. A few of our war vessels on her
coast would probably improve the morals
Of her political agents. If she will not
restrain her subjects from her piracies,
we must. Every ship that leaves her
ports must be examined, and the suspici-
Gus ones followed. There must be limit
put to her insolence.
In Philadelphia there are no alleys.
Every passage, down to those which a
modern lady would fill up with he1selfand
crinoline, are streets. Many of them are
narrow, but make up for this in intermin-
able length. The lesser ones enjoy as high
sounding names in the Directory as the
broad and airy avenues. I said Philadel-
phia is a city of cleanliness. This is due
principally to anthracite coal. There are
an abundance of tall chimney stacks rising
above manufactures in all parts Of the
city. But there are no clouds Of smoke OBJ
scuring the sky as in Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati. A stranger would conclude there
was a general holiday at the workshops.
Only din gray vspor ascends from the
ehimneys, as though they were just kind
ling the fires. In private houses there is
still less evidence Of heat. Chimneys that
send forth no smoke would seem to be use
less. But there are CRATES full of burning
Goals in every psrlOr. There are plenty of
engines in motion, TOO, driven BY steam,
applied to all the purposes of more smoky
cities. Bituminous coal and wood are used
only to a limited extent.
Dress coats, broad-brimmed hats, and
close bonnets are becoming less and less
numerous amid the increasing crowd of
worlds people.

ALL FooL'5 DAI.-To-day being the 1st
of April, is, according to time honOred Gus
tom, All FOOLS Day" The gravest among
Us wouldn't hesitate to play prank upon a
friend to-day, by which the anniversary
might be commemOrated.
The report became circulated, in some
manner, that General Mcclellan was to pass
through here this morning, arriving on the
Pittsburg train. A number of people went
to the depOttO see the young Napoleon, for
getting that it was the 1st of April. No one
acknowledged himself sold, however-every
one went to meet an expected friend or to see
some one of on the cars.
We felt really sorry for an unsuspecting
cOuntryman, who in walking up Water street
encountered an old hat lying upon the pave
ment. Drawing back his foot he gave the
hat tremendous kick, but was bent double
by the pain which followed it. Alarge and
particularly hard stone, was concealed in
the hat, affording such vigorous resistance to
the countryman's kick as to split his boot
and hurt him outrageously. It is
risky business, kicking old hats on the first
of April.
Ashrewder man was one who in walking on
Superior street saw bank note lying on the
pavement. His first impulse was to pick it
up, then came the second thought, and look
ing around he saw group of men standing
near, as if waiting to raise the derisiys laugh
when the sell he suspected was consummatsd.
The sbrewd man placed his thumb to his
nose and vibrated his fingers towards the
group of men, pointed at the bill and ex-
claimed, ono you DON'T" smile of peculiar
satisfaction illuminating his face. At this
moment man who wasn't so shrewd came
up, and innOcently picked up the bill.
shreWd man was nearly ready to burst with
merriment to see the greeney sold SO easily
by an advertising card. His ehagrin was
great, however, when the man unfOlded the
bill and found it be genuine S. Treasury
note. Which was the fool?

FooLHARDINEss.-The wind has blown q
large quantity of ice down the lake from the
vicinity of the Islands, which spreads out in
broad field in front of this port. It is
packed in quite densely at the mouth of the
river, yet it is in comparatively small frag-
ments. About o'clock this morning a man
was seen walking on this "sea of iee," of
the beacon pier. He had long pole in his
hands and was slowly and carefully making
his way out towards the lake. 1t was i'm
possible to conjecture what object a man
could have in thus exposing himself on such
a treaeherous footing. Quite crowd col
lected on the end of the pier, expecting mo-
mentarily to see him disappear. A cake Of
ice on which he stepped would frequently
sink with his weight, and one leg would go
down, and once or twice he sunk in up to his
middle, but managed to get out again. It
was evident that he wasn't drunk-he exer-
cised too much carefulnoss for that-so it was
co1jeetured that the spectacle he presented
was the freak of crazy man. Men shouted
to him his danger and told him to turn back,
but without needing them he picked his way
carefully along. Reaching an open place in
the ice about fifty yards out, he turned
around and walked back, exercising the
same care that he did in going out. Pale
and almost breathless the crowd on the pier
watched his progress, and when he finally
landed in safety, they were unsparing in de-
nouneing his foolhardiness and folly. It
transpired that he was neither drunk nor
crazy, but that he had made the perilous ven
ture on a bet with a companion. It was one
chance in ten that he accomplished it in
safety. He bet on that chance and won. He
will have few imitators, we think.

Correspondence Cleveland LEADER.
PHILADELPHIA, March 80, 1868.
This city is known by various names,
such as the "Quaker City" the city of
Brotherly Love, and the city of Firemen's
fights. Sometimes it is called Triadel-
phia. 1t might be known as the "Marble
City" for its foundations are largely Of
white marble, or the White City, for above
the white dOorsteps and underpinning Of
the houses are window blinds of pure
white.
It might be called the Cleanly City, the
city Of fine public edifces, comfortable no.
tells, and generally of order, thrift and
quiet. Neither would it be out Of the way
to call ita Railroad City. Besides street
railroads through every second street,
forming blocks Of four squares, the great
lines from the country have branch lines
to the principal warehouses. The locomo-
tives are not allowed to puRian snort
along the streets, but long tandem teams
Of four, six, and even ten mules furnish the
motive power for horse railways. Thus a
train Of coal cars is broken up, and each
dealer runs his portion to his own yard.
So 1T is with carloads of wheat or other
grain, -four, iron, and everything else. On
Sunday all these short lines are quiet.
The value of wide streets is thus made
manifest.
Philadelphia has the Mint, the great
mart of finance. 1t has banks in sbun-
dance, churches, lecture-rooms, and i'm
mense halls in abundance. Like Washing
ton and Baltimore, this city grows i'm
proves, and expands, even in these troub-
lous times.
You will have noted the new phase Of
British neutrality in the case Of the
Frigste PhRton, conveying a blockade
runner out of st. Thomas This is an
other application Of her ideas upon neu-
trality very like what she made use Of in
Lord Nelson's time at Copenhagen. May
be the United States will not prove as sub

would be much more manly in Cousin Ball
to form an alliance with the South open
