The piano trade was never so brisk as
now. The Chickering's, whose factory is
in Boston, are making about fifty instru-
ments a week-at least that number has
been their average during the past six
months. The work is classified thus :
squares thirty-eight, uprights five, and
grads seven. Upon the basis of present
prices, such business is worth nearly
100000 annually.
There has been much Inquiry since

Rev. Mr.. Thomas, in his prayer at the OPEN
ing OF the Supreme Court, in this city, yester-
day, put up at least one excellent petition as
follows-''O Lord, we pray that thou wouldst
bless the lawyers now before thee. Grant o
Lord, that they may at all times speak the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. May they learn lesson from the sea-
son, that life is short and waste no time in
circumlocution and windy defamation.
On the conclusion of this portion of the
prayer, many of the audience outside of the
bar responded with an emphatic "Amen. "
-TheArmy and NaryJommal contains
report of the Naval Committee to report
on rifle cannon. They find that of 70S
Parrot guns of all calibres, 81 have burst
or been otherwise injured by explosion.
They ascribe these accidents to various
causes. such as the use of compressed
powder or unsuitable projectiles; neglect
ing to lubricate the projectiles, as required
by the ordnance instructions; and keeping
the guns too long loaded. The premature
explosion of shells is, however, the main
cause. They recommend experiments to
place the matter beyond dispute, and de-
eide the question of retaining the Parrot
gun in use.
"A fire occurred at Ottawa, ILL.,, on the

that the rebels turned over to Sherman,

GRANTS ARMY.

New YORK, Feb. THE correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press states that
late on Thursday night the I'd, 9Th and 9th
corps were placed under marching orders.
and the 9Th corps had orders to hold itself
IN readiness for service. Six days rations
were distributed to the three corps, and it
was generally conceded that the army was
to make a grand move; but at last &C.
counts, although the orders had not been
Iresclnded, there was every reason to be-
lleve that no movement would be made.

He wished the reunion OF all the States
perfected, and so effected as to remove all
canaes of disturbance in the future; and,
to attain this end, it was necessary that the
ORIGINAL disturbing cause should, if posi-
bie. he rooted out He thought all would
hear him witness that he had never
shrunk from doing all that he could to
eradicate slavery by issuing an emancipa-
ton proclamation [applausel; but that
proclamation falls far short of what the
amendment will be when fully consum-
mated. Aquestion might be raised whether
the proclamation was legally valid. 1t
might be added that it only aided those
who came into our lines, and that it
was imperative as to those who did not
give themselves up; or that it would have
no effect upon the children of the slaves
born hereafter. In fact, it would be argued
that it did not meet the evil, but this
amendment is a kings cure for all the
evils. GApplause.l 1t winds the whole
thing up. He would repeat that it was the
fitting, if not indispensable, adjunct to the
consummation of the great game We are
playing. He could not but congratulate
all present, himself, the country, and the
whole world, upon this great moral VIC
tory.
BALTIMORE, Feb. IA message was

costing similar demonstrations of rejoicing

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-Gov. Ogles-

They entered Grants lines on the assur-
ance that they came on the basis of Mr..
Lincoln's instructions to Mr.. Blair, but
when the President and Mr.. Seward met
them, it turned out that all they wanted
was an armistice, the consideration of the
maintenance of the Union to be put off to
a more convenient season when their
stomachs should be full of the fat to be de-
rived from our land and their military
stores replenished1
Mr. Lincoln again informed them that
the preservation of the Union must be a
condition precedent to any other. He
would never consent to but one cessation
of hostilties, and that would be the final
one.
Four hours of good natured talk en-
sued, but it resulted in nothing more than
we have already stated. The truth is, the
rebels are very hardly pressed by our ar
mics; they see that by the sword they
must perish, and so they have sought to
save themselves by negotiation and diplo.
macy. But in this Mr.. Lincoln has shown
himself more than a match for them.
They have found him courteous but firm
and infexible. He has now satisfied the
clamorous peace men of the North, who
have pertinaciously asserted that soft
words would melt the hearts of the Obdu-
rate rebels. Talk is of no use; all that
remains is to fight it out, and the quicker
the better.
The Tribune says the rebels required of
the President immediate and unqualified
cessation Of hostilities, leaving in abey-
ance all questions concerning the integrity
of the Union and the Iightful authority OF
its government over the people of the sew
eral States, which the President courte-
ously but promptly applied them that he
was neither authorized nor disposed to &C.
cept, and thus the conference terminated.
The World argues that the conference
was not failure by showing that the
rebel Commissioners were not authorized
to propose any terms, but rather merely
to have an interview for information, so as
to enable the Richmond government to
decide whether a peace conference is ex:
pedient.
New YORK, Feb. 6.-Post's Washington
special says, it is reported that the Presi-
dent will send special message to Con-
gress tomorrow, announcing the cause Of
the failure of the attempt at peace negO-

The Fourth at Plover.

Pursuant to invitation from the cit
liens Of our nei ghboring village OF
Plover, the writer hereof, "and fam
ily'' celebrated the last national
birth day at the last named village.
Bnd Notwithstanding the drenching
rain which poured down during the
latter part of the preceding night,
and until eight o'clock on the morn
ing of the fourth-which was follow
ed, during most of the day, by threat
ening clouds and chilly air-the Gel
ebration was success. The process
slon formed about half past eleven i'll
front of the Hotel in Main street, and
marched to beautiful grove, few
rods distant, and within the village
limits, where the services were held,
consisting of an opening prayer, read
ing of the declaration, Grafton. and
Benediction, interspersed with choice
music. About fifteen hundred per-
sons were in attendance, and it is said
there would have been many more
but for the unfavorable weather, and
constant indications that it would be
worse.
We desire to tender, thus public y,
our sincere Acknowledgements of the
generous courtesy extended us by the
citizens Of Plover, which rendered
our visit there extremely agreeable

July, 1865, witnesses the restoration
Of the Union, the abolition Of slave
ry, after four years of the most tre-
mendous strife the world ever saw
Which of these three grand eras
should call for the most ardent exhi-
bitton Of public joy-the most fer
vent gratitude to Almighty God ?
Striving to weigh these great
events with an impartial judgment,
and to hold in due reverence the he
roic sufferings and lofty achievements
of our sires, we hesitate not to claim
for the present epoch pre- eminence
in American history transcending all
other periods Of our national life
We base this claim upon no superior
virtue in the present generation, for
1t would be difficult to prove that we
would have dealt less tenderly with
the sin of selling than they, un-
der like circumstances. The peculiar
glory, which lights up the tragic pag-
es of the past four years, is the con-
stant and irrepressible struggling of
the public mind, through blood and
anguish, up to higher plane Of JUS
tice-a more exalted conception of
tie truths enunciated eighty nine
years ago this day, that call men are
created equal, and endowed by their
creator with certain inalienable rights
and that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness" That
which our fathers iiuHcriibed on paper,
have we, under the blessing and gui-
dance of Divine Providence, made a
glorious reality, sending joy and the
hope of immortality to millions who
sat in the darkness Of bondage, and
educating other millions to = new life
and true Christianity. We do well
to rejoice, for our redemption has
come. Through blood and tears has
it been earned, but lit has come at
last! Never again shall it be crime
tn recite the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence in any part of the United
States. The work which that noble
instrument pointed out for the Amer
icau people has been done thoroughly
this time, or, if not quite finished, will
yet be done. The Fourth of July,
1865, finds MS starting, strong and
earnest, with limbs unshackled, and
hearts newly sanctifed by the martyr
dom Of sons and brothers, in career
OF honor and true greatness foreshad-
