EDWARD.s TEMPTATION.
By HoRATlo ALGER, JR.

-
1t was six O'Clock in the afternoon. At
this time the great Wholesale warehouse
of Nessrs. Hubbard & Son was won't to
close, unless the pressurs of business
compelled the partners to keep open until
later.
The duty Of closing usually devolved
upon Edward Jones. a boy of fourteen,
who had lately been engaged to perform
a few slight duties for which he received
the sum of fifty dollars annually. He
was the "boy," but ifhe behaved himself
Sc as to win the appreciation OF his employ
ers his chance of promotion was good.
Yet there were some things that rea-
dered this small salary hard trial to hia
circumstances with which his employers
were unacquainted. His mother was a
widow. The sudden death of Mr.. jones
had thrown the entire family upon their
own resources, and these were indeed but
slender
There was an older sister who assisted
her mo her to sew, and this with Edward s
salary, constituted the entire income of
the family. Yet by mean. of ;:ntiring in
dustry they had continued thus far to hive,
using strict economy, of course. Yet they
had wanted none of the absolute necss-
saries of life
But Mary Jones-Edward's sister
grew sick. She had taken a severe cold
which terminated in u fever. This t
only cut off the income arising from her
own labor, but also prevented her mother
from accomplishing as much as she would
otherwise have been able to do.
On the morning OF the day en- which
our stery commences, Mary had express

to deny to those we leve that which would

Mrs. Jones felt this, and Sc did Ed

We shall get on well enough afterwards.
IT was with the memory Of this seen,
that Edward went to the store in the NOR

All around him were the boxes of ricl
goods representing thousands of dollar
in money.

Butler.

It will be remembered that several weeks
ago It was reported on the authority Of
Gen. GILMORE, that his failure to take Fort
Darling was owing to the blundering stupid
ity, ignorance and cowardice of Gen. BUT
LER, who ordered retreat when there was
no need of such amovement. This report
was very damaging to BUTLER, and he
wrote. few letters about 1t, but failed to
relieve himself from the blame. But Bur
LER has finally '.got even'' with GILMoRE.
The failure to capture Petersburg is alto
gether the fault Of GILMORE, according to
BUTLER, who has whole corps of CORES
pondents engaged in writing down GIL
MORE and putting himself Whether the
accusation against GILMORE is true or not,
we have no means of knowing, but the af-
fair appears to be simply scheme of Bur
LrR's to revenge himself upon his inferior
officer. The Tri6uae's correspondent in en-
deayoring to show GIIMoRE's cowardice
and stupidity, says that there were but two
thousand men and boys to defend Peters
burg, and that GILMoRE had three times
that number. If this is true, why don't
BuILrR capture the town himself, instead
Of sitting in his tent writing letters to the
newspapers? The general belief is that the
reports about GILMORE were invented to
cover up the objectionable blunders and
failures Of the hero of Big Bethel. 9

NIr. Cox,s 6peecll.

We commend to the attention of all read
ers who wish to be well informed as to the
effect of public measures on the welfare
and comfort of the people, the lucid and
able speech of Mr.. Cox, published in our
columns yesterday. When he tells us that
enormous tariffs give immense bounties TO
Eastern manufacturers and iron-masters,
we may feel that the assertion is true, look
ing at the flourishing condition of these
manufactures. Shares in the stock OF the
manufacturing corporations never before
reached the high prices they bear now
Stories are told Of the profits of these con-
Germs within the last few years, which
would be incredible if they were not SO
well authenticated. Relatively to the prices
of all articles which the farmers of the west
consume, they are no better off now than
they were five years ago. This fact can be
demonstrated by quotations from prices
then and now. If the inequalities which
bear so grievously on Western interests are
owing to iniquitous legislation, no time
should be lost In applying radical cure

The PALMERsroN MINISTRY IN DANGER
"A telegram announces that OH the 1st Of
June, in full House of Parliament, the
government was defeated on a motion by a
majority of ten. As this vote preceded the
Lindsay motion but two days, it is more
than likely that Paimerston may resign ere
that be put to vote in the House. twill
be borne in mind that Mr.. Lindsay demands
that the Queen shall take out of the hands
of her ministry the recognition of the Davis
government. Lindsay's motion will be
supported by all the Derbyites and the
blockade running interests represented In
Parliament, and, as Palmerston must an
ticipate a defeat in this, it may be that he
will resign as a result Of the vote mention
ed above. We await with anxiety the up
shot of this affair, fraught, as it is, with
deep interest to this country. We do moi
believe, however, that the hopes Of the
rebels will be realized should Derby min-
istry be formed. Then, as now, the Cabinet
will look twice ere they involve England
in a war with us.

WHY RICHMOND CANNOT BE ATTACKED sue
cFssrIJLLY PROM THE SOUTH. ~

CEobfpLLf fhOM 1Hh ooOAH' ~. 4
There are certain considerations which
will, doubtless, present themselves to. the
mind of General Grant, and which VIII
cause him to forego the attempt to cross the
James river and attack the rebel capital
from the south. First among these con-
siderations may be stated the fact that the
defenses of Richmond on the south side,
that is, Imean fortifications alone, are fully
as strong and extensive as those on the
north and east. In this respect there Is q
vast difference between the condition Of
affairs now and when General Mcclellan
was operating against Richmond. The only
advantage that General Grant can gain in
changing his base from the York to the
James river, will be that his supplies can
then be brought by water to point on the
latter only eleven miles from Richmond,
and that his army can then be fed without
its being weakened by detachments to guard
supply trains. 1t is generally believed at
Richmond that that is the direction that
matters will ultimately take, that is, If Cen
eral Grant succeeds in reaching the James
river at all. For the greatest confidence is
expressedsat the rebel capital, that If that
final flank movement is attempted, it will
result in the Union army itself being fanked
and involved in the morasses Of the White
Oak swamp. DRUID.

Rebel Account.

[From The Richmond Enquirer. June 81
GRANTS OPERATIONS ON THE JAMES RIVER.
Scouts report that on Saturday last the
enemy towed up James river above the
mouth of Powell's creek, pontOon bridge,
with sixty tents pitched upon it. Perhaps
this is the bridge upon which Grant hoped
to pass after breaking through the lines of
General Lee. But as he failed to force his
way through, the aforesaid pontoon bridge
may prove useless above the mouth of Pow
ellis creek, which is in Prince George coun-
ty. This constructed pontoon bridge will
span the river, and should Grant reach the
James river near Harrison's landing or OPP
posite City Point, it would enable him
to throw his army speedily around and
push onto Petersburg. while General Lee
was making the circuit around by Rich
mond. The south side Is no,o the point for
hope of taking Richmond except by
siege--by taking possession of Petersburg,
and with his cavalry cutting and destroy

BALTIMORE, June IL.
defer until tomorrow sendingyou some
further facts relating to the secret history
of the Lincoln Convention, in order to COM
municate to-day some important intelli-
gence which have just received relating
to the military operations In the valley Of
the Chickahominy. This intelligence comes
through the sources specified In q recent
private note, and whenever in this letter !
shall speak of Gen. Grants operations, 1t
will be understood that only speak of such
facts as are known to the enemy. The news
herein contained confirms fully, as you will
see, the correctness of the ground taken by
The World few days ago, in regard to the
nature of the work Gen. Grant has before
him, the impossibility Of investing Rich
mond, and the tedious and protracted ma
ture of the siege which must be undertaken
before that city can be taken.
My intelligence to-day, (Which is very
voluminous, and which must necessarily
abridge), embraces the Confederate version
of the military operations on the line of the
Chickahominy, from the 3lst of May to the
9th of June, Including the battle near Coal
Harbor on the Sd, statement of the rebel
plans for the defense of their capital, and a
further description of the present condi-
ton of the fortifications Immediately around
the city.

The Fremont Clubs I'm New York.

The New York Journal Of Commerce says,
that aas an Indication of the exciting char
acter Of the political campaign upon which
we are entering, it may be mentioned that
FREMoNT's friends in this city are organic
ing clubs upon the largest scale. The Gem
tral Club (rooms on Broadway near 18th
street. is a complete institution Of the kind,
and will be followed by the establishment
of similar organizations in each ward. Al
though cut off from Government patronage,
the Fremonters seem to have members and
money enough to carry on large political
business, and viii ask no odds Of their pc
culiar antagonists, the LINCOLN men. It's
said to be their intention to outdo every
demonstration which the Loyal Leagues,
or LINCOLN clubs, may make in the interest
of the Baltimore ticket, and show byun-
doubtable evidence that the Fremonters
can always muster the larger crowd and
the more enthusiasm. This contest between
the two, Radical Democracy and the Radical
Republicans, gives spice and animation to
the campaign gbsvlss es
