A DFess-Parndo OF PiokpOe kets.
The Gothamites are ttsome" In the wa,
of getting up ''grand raree shows" A.
their Grand Metropolitan Fair, on las
Monday, they got up little farce not sci
down 10 the "bills." The Post thus de-
scribes the petite comsRis:
AOne of the feature of tho METROPOLITAN
Fair Exhibition last night, was a parade
OF piekpOekets. Three of these indiyfd
nais we're caught BY the police, who we're
on duty in large numbers under command
OF inspector Lconard-Mr.Actou was pres
eut as member Of the floor Committee
OF the Fair-and while the opening cere.
monies were To progress the pickpockets,
whose toilets had been prepared with par
tlcnlar care, in order that they might cir
culate without suspicion among he ner.
sons IN attendance, were conducted with
considerable pomp and circnmstauce
through every department of the Fair,
under special escort.
The handsomest Of the pickpockets was
chosen to lead the procession. With
great sign, 'pickpocket," hanging upon
hin, he started for the sub station, a DO.
iceman supporting him on each side, and
entered the Department of "Arms and
troPhies," where Colonel Hawkins was
exnlolting the cnriosities 10 several hun
dred ladies and gentlemen, among whom
were General BuFaside, bis staff officers
and members Of ftheir families.
The rest Of the procession led Ly the
PickPocksts was brought up by SQUAD of
police, including some Of the officers Of
the force, the chief calling out, Gshow him
uP-let all see html" The parade had
fairly begun, and the novel spectacle at
tracted universal attention and hearty
laughter.
The face of the ptckpocket was of itself
a remarkable show. lie was at loss hoW
to meet the quizzing looks and ieers of th
persons on whom he had hoped to operate,
but endeavored to gather strength for the
occasion. The policemen's clubs admou!
ished him that physical resistance would
not avail him. His sense of shame proved
at hrst, too much for his nerves, he hung
bis head, and leaned from one side to the
other, the expression of his countenance
changing with every step 1t was very
curious and ludicrous scene.
The march through the Fair butIdings
was not imPeded; ali persons instinctiYeIy

MRS. PresIdont uarrIaon,

Genuine piety is more common in the
higher circles of politica life than superfi-
cial observers are aware, aud it is often
iouOd ngseat beauty and strength. Many
Senators and Representatives, in Washing.
ton are as faithful to their God as 10 their
country aud 10 the Waite House q con
sisIent piety has at times adorned the
highest station. A correspondent of the
New York EUdngeitst gives a charming
sketch of the character of the late Mrs.
Harrison, who was for many years con.
sistent member ofIhe Presbyterian Church
and liberal contributor 10 all benevolent
objects, and who seemed never iszzled by
her elevation and prosperity. The writer
says: draa 455aL
las the wife of the President of the
United States, she appeared the same
modest, unassumiug woman as before her
elevation to SO high position of honor.
When General Harrison went TO Washing
ton, she remained at her home at North
Bend. After his death she lived retired
in the bosom of her own family; where she
sought to hide herself from the public
gaze. She never afterwards appeared in
public She saw no sociely bot that of
her family and special friends. A stranger
rarely, If ever, was admired to her room,
The writer, although the pastor of the
church of which she was an honpred mem.
| Der, obtained his first Introduction to her
only after some months residence In the
place. But after our first interview we
were always cheerfully admitted to her
I room., Aud never did she fail to cali all
the family together for reading the Scrip
lures aud for prayer, Nov she is no more,
It's pleasant to remember those seasons
when-in her room, neatly, modesiiy fur
nishcd-we bowed together around the
throne OF heavenly grace to suppltcate
blessings upon tthe head OF our veneraterl
friend and her household. Such seasons
she always seemed to eD1oy with a high
spiritualrelish. Herhealth for many years
was exceedingly feeble, and she was rarely
able to leave her house, or even her room.
In only one instance during a miulstly Of
nearly three years Was.she able lofvisit
the house of God. 1t was communion
season, and she often referred to Il ia one
of high spiritual enjoyment. Aud yet she
loved the house Of Gpdi and when her
health would permit, was aconstaut iatteu.

We are receiving letters from different
counties in this State, as we'll as in tie
State of Ohio, asking MS to give the wri-
tiers full particulars concerning enlistments
in this county. In answer to all such in
quiries, We would briefly say, that this
county pays every volunteer who presents
a muster-in-certiicate to the effect that ne
is credited to the quota of the county, three
hundred dollars bounty-cash down. she
also pays any one ten dollars who furnish
es an accepted recruit. 1t makes no odds
from what county or state recruits come.
Thew are mustered in by the United States
officer in charge here just as if they were
residents of this county. An enlistment
here is discharge from the enrolment in

DEATH or CArFAIN DANIEL p THoNAs.-Oaptain
Thomas died yesterday morning in st. Louis after
q short but severe illness His remains, accom-
panied by his wife, will arrive at the Ohio Mis-
sissippi Depot at seven o'clock this morning. The
members Of the CINCINNATI LouiaTtlle, Pitttburgh'
st. Louis, Memphis and other Pilot Associations,
and the members Of the Steamboat Captains ASso-
citation, requested to be at the depot at the
above hour to act as an escort; Captain Thomas,
besides his wife, who is in quite delicate health,
leaves three small children to the Of the
Father of the fatherless. The following graceful
tribute to his memory is from the pen Of one Of
our most intelligent and enterprising steamboat
agents:
liz MEMoRIAN.-The past few yearS' experience
has made us all painfully familiar with grim Death.
On many a bloody field have onr loved ones fallen,
amid the shouts and yelIs Of the vietors and the
vAnquished, or yielded up their lives In some dis
tant hospital among strangers, with no loved ones
by to clasp the hand and whisper words loving aud
kind, to smooth the way to eternity Death shifting
those love is always dreaded, whether he strikes
down the victim on the field ofGtrfe, or in the calm
and peaceful abode.
Again are we called upon to lament the loss Of
one we all had learned TO love. Yesterday morning
the soul Of Captain Daniel Thomas returned 70 the
God who gave it, and we, his Borrowing friends,
weep for the loss have sustained, feeling that
void exists we know not how to ill.
But deep as our sorrow for our departed brother
may be, what is It to be compared to the heart
wrunE anguish of his loving wife and little ones.
Nay God in his infinite mercy have pity on th en-,
and make their burden as light a may be.
Capt. Thomas was not an old commander, but his
experience as such was sufficient to stamp him a.
one among the best Of our boRtmen. Possessing
rare business qualifications, he met with sure sue
cess that always attend one when all the energies
of mind and body are directed in the proper chSu-
mel. of warm and social nature, he easily bound
his friends to him by indiSsoIubIe ties.
But the great destroyer has claimed him-he Is
with the Ruler Of all, and We bow our heads in hu-
mility. Msy we all be as well prepared as he when
the time for bodies 70 be laid in the silent
tomb. G.S.J.
oINIHNATI, August 16, 1861.
The remains of Captain Thomas will arrive this
morning, and the funeral will take place from the
residence Of H. W. Phillips, North Wheeling, at
three o'clock this afternoon. The friends Of the
family are requested to attend.

THE ROAD TO LAS TING PHAC

The most hopeful signs of the times is
the strong devotion of the people of the
loyal States to the preservation aud resto.
ration Of the American Union. Whatever
may be said on other subjects, on this there
is extraordinary harmony. Tat there are
party leaders who would purchase peace
by separation, no one can successfully deny;
out even they must now perceive that the
cheapest way TO close the war is to restore
the old condition of things, with the az.
ception of re-enslaviug the people made
forever free by Congress and by two or
three of the Southern States. And this Iast
fact is so patent and clear, that the rebels
themselves must sooner or later confess
and surrender beforeit. We think there il

MILITARY Prison, WHEELING, WEST VA, /
August 10, 1864.
Editors Lntslzigeneer:
Your local editor did me injustice, no
doubt unintentionally, in an item which
appeared in this mornings Intelligencer.
On hearing that petition to Gen. Hunter
for the release Of Mr.. Long and myself, or,
at least, for q copy of the charges upon
which we were arrested, was in circulation
in the city, | wrote to a friend asking him
to see the gentleman having the matter in
charge and have il stopped. My reason
for so doing was simply this: We had al
ready written to Gen. Hunter, demanding
to know the charges against US, and if no
charges appeared, demanding our release;
and we were not willing that our friends
should petition Gen. Hunter to do that
which his duty binds bin to do. l was
not aware that the petition was addressed
to Gov. Boreman, nor have l written to
him on the subject. have no aspirations
for "martyrdom" of any kind-preterring
always to pursue my business and perform
my duties as a patriotic citizen in as IN
obtrusiVe manner as possible.
We are truly grateful to our friends for
their efforts i'll our behalf, and justly sp-
Preciate the motive which has prompted
the circulation of the petition, but we felt
that petition to Gen. Hunter would rather
iDjure than benefit our cause, and accord
ingly desired it suppressed.
Respectfully, LEWIS BAKER.
The facts remain, substantially, as we
stated them yesterdsy-which were that a
petition was in circulation to Gov. Bore
man praying him to use his influence to
have Messrs. Baker and Long released, for
the reason that no charges had been spec
fed against them; and further, that Mr..
Baker had written to object to the petition
for his release as being unauthorized and
uudesired by him. There was no petition
to Gen. Hunter, as Mr.. Baker would lead
persons to suppose in the conclusion of his
note-uone thought of to him-for, as Mr..
Baker knew, Gen. Hunter is not in com.
mand of the Department and consequent.
ly can grant no petition. The desire of a
number of Union, men in circulating and
signing the petition Was simply to have
Mr.. Baker let out of confinement, on the
ground that he is not openly charged with
any criminal offence, and is not, therefore,
properly detained. For no other apparent
reason than to be made martyr of, Mr.,
Baker objects to coming out.
