TIE CONDITION OF TIE STREErs.-s
Notwithstanding We have urged the
matter of cleaning the streets on the at
tention OF the city authorities almost
daily for weeks past, and it seems to
have resulted IN no good, yet We are
hourly beset by citizens asking Us why
we don't blow up the city authorities for
this, as they term it, criminal negli-
gence.
We know not what further argument
We can use on the subject, unless We
could induce the city authorities to visit
the cemetery, and standing at the gates,
mark. the solemn funeral trains that pass
almost hourly within these gates, bear
ing to their last resting place the most
excellent, the most honored, the most
useful and the most lovely and beloved
Of our citizens. The mortality has, per-
ha.,s, never been so great as it has been
this season, and the oldest inhabitants
never saw the streets, the cutters and
the alleys SO filthy as they are this sea-
son. The cutters are oVergrown with
rank weeds, aud filed with foetid filth
give forth their miasmatic odors laden
with disease and death. Dead hogs are
permitted to lie and rot on the streets,
as if their pestiferous stencil were fra
grant odors from the gardens Of Araby,
We believe it is the duty of property
hoIdersto keep the cutters in front OF
their dwellings, and places of business
free Of filth. Ifthey neglect this duty
the city authorities should have 1t done
for them at their expense. l5sa
Should an epidemic break out in our
midst, and fevers and dysentery have
already assumed almost the form of an
epidemic, our city would be decimated.
We had determined to say nothing
more on this subject, but we are urged
to it almost hourly, and by almost every
man we meet on the streets or in their
places Of business. There should be q
remedy applied to this evil. The people
and the public welfare demand it at the
hands of those they have selected to ad.

A DAsrARDLY OUTRAGE By SUBIU-
GATED REBELs-We are informed by
reliable gentleman Of this city, who OBJ
tanned his information from the victim
of paroled rebel ehiyalry, attested as
true by two gentlemen of Kentucky,
that on Monday evening man named
Willis Rice, Of Michigan, who had been
working in Kentucky and was about to
return to the North, while waiting in
Uniontown for the packet, stepped into
a saloon and took q drink. Seeing a
colored man with whom be was well ac-
quainted, he asked him to take drink,
which he did Rice then went to the
wharf boat, and soon afterwards was
seized by a number of returned paroled
rebel soldiers, who fixed q rope under
his arms and pitched him overheard
from the wharf-boat, drawing him out
when he was nearly drowned. sao .d,4e.
1t is said that Capt. Lemon, of the
18th Kentucky cavalry, was kind
enough to hold Riee's pocketbook, to
keep his money from getting wet while
the process of ducking was going on,
but took no measures to prevent the
outrage
After releasing Rice, the mob went to
the saloon with the purpose of serving
the keeper in like manner, but were
persuaded by Capt Lemon to desist, as
the bartender was a citizen, and might
cause trouble If harshly dealt with <
We give the story as we received it
Gas we said befOre) from a responsible
gentleman of this city; and if the case
is as stated, Capt Lemon should be
promptly dismissed the service, and the
perpetrators Of the outrage severely
punished.

PoNTs OF DIFFRRESoE.-As spicy >edi-
torial in the Cinciunati Commercial
designates various points of difference
between the treatment JEFF Davis is re-
ceiying and that received by the Upion,
prisoners while in Jeff's prison pens at
Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Salisbury.
Davis israllOwed salt water and fresh
water for purposes Of bathing and wash
ing; is not covered with vermin, nor de-
prived of his fine-tooth comb. Davis is
allowed clean under-clothes, towaA,
sheets, ETC., of all which our boys were
deprived. Davis ID allowed good and
wholesome food, whereas our boys were
fed on bran and wormy beans and rotten
bread. Davis is allowed a Bible and
plenty of time to read it, and is in
dulged in many other luxuries and com
forts Of which our boys were deprived;
and upon the whole, the writer thinks
the contrast is too broad to admit of
single ground tor a charge that our peo-
pie are doing to Davis as he did to us.
Whether il would be Christian to treat
Davis as he treated our prisoners, is a
question for theologians to determine.

threatened With both cholera and plague.
In addition to these, diseases Incidental
to the climate are already making their
appearance in such abundance as to in
dictate an unusually sickly season. The
sanitary condition of the city is very
bad. Every gutter reeks with filth, dis
seminating foul Sodors, freighted With
the seeds of disease. We are aware
that, without system of thorough
drainage, it will be found exceedingly
difficult to keep the city clean. The
construction of systsm of sewerage
will be the work of time, and cannot, Ia
any event, be made available in time to
meet the emergency of the case this fall.

of another brutal outrage comitted by
number of men, on Sunday evening last,
upon a man named Bliss, who had in

luxury of beating poor 'old colored
Gus from Africa What the Negroes
offense had been we do not know. His
assailents probably feared, if not beat
en- back, he would become their equal,
and hence, taking his own cane from
him, beat him over the head with it.
Bliss, not fully appreciating the divine
right of these noble white men to beat an
African in imitation of the Southern
chivairy, demonstrated with them, and
they let the negro go, and Bliss proceed

We presume there will be a legal in

EVERY CHURCH MAY HAVE AN ORGAN
1t seems marvellous that a thin strip OF metal
an inch and half long, can be made 10 vibrate
so as to produce a full smooth and sonorous
tone, which can scarcely be distinguished,
even by practiced ear, from that of an organ
pipe; yet this is the result attained in the
Cabinet Organs made by Mason & Hamlin, of
Boston. Reeds have ceased to produce "reedy'
sounds, and the most delicate and fastidious
tympanum may luxuria,e in the silver tones
OF modern instruments, especially those from
the factory of M. & H., who have, indeed,
done much toward the marvellous change and
Improvement referred to. ass
The Cabinet Organ was introduced by this
firm. and is decided improvement upon the
Melodeon; having greater power aud variety,
and being more easily supplied with Wind
As its merits become known, it must be wide
ly introduced. It is, in fact, a very efficient
church organ brought within a small compass,
not easily got out OF order, and sold at very
low price. One hundred and seventy dollars,
or even less, will now furnish fine accom-
panylng instrument, much superior to the
piano forte for sacred music; while three,
four, or five hundred dollars procures an in
strument with correspondingly greater variety
and advantages. Every Sabbath-school may
now rejoice with an organ, and even feeble
churches may "play upon an instrument" in
in the praise OF God. New York Examiner.

Letter from New York,
New YORK. April 5. 1865,
/. Monday, 3 P. M.


TO the Editor Of the Press:
Snch day OF universal, heatfelt rejoicing
New York city has never before witnessed, as
from ten O'Clock this morning to this hour. On
the announcement by telegraph of the evacu-
alton of Petersburg and the occupation Of
Richmond by Weitzel, merchants, bankers,
lawyers, artisans and all classes in business,
hearing that there was meeting in Wall ST.,
foeked thither, until from Hanover st. on
the east side of the Exchange (now Custom
House) nearly up to Nassau ST. was one
dense mass of people. Their joy and enthus
siasm knew no bounds. The crowd was ad-
dressed from this hour up to three O'Clock by
Collector Draper. Gen. Butterfield, Prosper
M. Wetmore, George Francis Train, Hon.
aWm. M. Egarts, Hon. Moses F. Odell and
others. While the speaking was in progress,
anc flags were flying from almost every bank
ing house and business office in the street, it
WIS noticed that Mr.. Belmont the banker,
had no flag out. The crowd forthwith de-
lnanded that he join in the general rejoicing,
when large flag was run up on the top of
the building and another unfurled from his
front window. 1t is said that this was the
first time he has shown a flag since the beginn-
ing of the war.
rhe.speeches were all short and earnest
words of gratitude and heartfelt thanks to
Him who had overruled the late movements
OF our armies to this end; there was not a
harsh word, or a particle OF the vindictive
spirit towards the rebels in arms, or for their
leaders. l- - 0S ~
At the c,ose of the meeting Mr.. Draper
read dispatch from the Secretary of War to
the effect that % 600 veterans under General
Thomas were nearing Lynchburg, that Gen.
Sherman was moving and stretching his lines
noithward and eastward to cut off Lees re-
treat, aud that Gen. Grant was pursuing him.
Mr.. Odell then proposed that the vast con-
course uncover and all join in singing, "Fraise
God from whona all blessings fo,o." The ef-
feet was solemn and grand. scene like this
had never expected to witness.
Crossing the ferry from Brooklyn, the sight
was beautiful and inspiring. As far as the eye
could extend along the forest of masts, every
ship was decked with its hundred flags, and
over the whole city there seemed to wave
cloud of the glorious, grand old symbol of our
ancient freedom, now entirely purified under
and by this baptism of blood. My feeble
words cannot portray the beating heart of this
great metropolis, as it burst forth in the re-
joicings Of this day.
