PIPE ORGAN FOR THE TEMPLE OF MU-
s1C.-Reed's Temple Of Music has become
noted establishment OF our city, and is
visited daily by strangers from all parts OF
the Northwest. 1t seems to be character
lstlc OF this establishment to do every
thing on grand scale, from giving few
pianos to the Sanitary Fair in this and our
sister State, Michigan, TO all the arrange
menss of the triple waserooms that consti-
svse the Temple Of Music. Divide up its
STOCK, and score Of tue chief cities of the
\ northwest could De furnished with hand
some stock each. But the last, latest and
mos. novel undertaking is the building OF
regular church pipe organ, to occupy the
sOuth END OF the east roSm. Its golden,
gleomlng pipes and deep rolling tone will
lmpart additional dignity to the whole es-
tablishment.
It may safely be said that anything may
De had At the Temple from penny
whistle to church organ or Chickering
piano, and when that name is mentioned
!et none forget the loyal spirit that induced
Messrs. Chickering & Sons, in far off Bos.
ton, to donate a $500 piano to the Sanitary
Fair in this State, and that Chickering'S is
the kind used by Gottschalk, Thalberg,
Salter a2d Bassint, the four great ridges
of the day. But we have run on beyond
what was intended when We wrote our
caption, "a Pipe Organ for the Ten pie Of
Music and end by recommending our
readers to 60 and see the organ when it is
done, which will be in the course Of the
next two or three weeks Chicago Journal.

HUNPHREY MARSHALL GETTING MAD. I
in the rebel House Of Representatives re-
Gently, the bill to provide for laying a
special export duty on cotton and tobacco,
came up for discussion. Mr.. Herbert,
Of Texas, moved postpouenent of the
bill. 49,,
Mr.. Marshall approved the notion
What was the need for hurried action on
this bill7 Why talk OF export duties now
when Wilmington has just fallen :? The
had bis way be would run all the cotton
from Wilmington into the interior of the
Confederacy, and make it public property.
He would seize all the cotton, tobacco and
property of the Government, and make it
subservient to the public good.
Mr.: Aver, OF South Carolina, asked
whether, II the gentleman was in favor OF
seiziug all the cotton and tobocco in the
country, he would be willing to furnish
families who are dependent on these ar
ticses for their support, with -four and ba-
con. ~
Mr.. Marshall said he would pay for the
cotton and tobocco in Confederate notes,
and would make these notes legal tender.
He would vote to do it tomorrow, and
would make it legal tender for every
debt contracted during the war. He
would take the men of the country by the
nape OF the neck and put them into the
this country in smou.derirg ruins, and
every house in ashes, rather than yield
one jot Short Of the independence Of these
States. We must rise to the hight Of this
occasion, and Sc. aside all constitutional
delicacy. We must prepare for the spring
campaign. Gentlemen must recollect that

nave the spring campaign to provide for.
Postpone these measures, ard adopt radi-
cal, stern and impressive ones, and sea
that they are made efiicac;ous.
Mr.. Garland, OF Arkansas. asked with
whom the gentlemen proposed trading this
cotton and tobacco, if there was no way to
export it.
Mr.. Marshall said he would sell it to any
body who would give him the value for il.
He would sell it to English or French
agents. They would put their flags over
1t and keep it here in the country. He
would sell it to them, and they must buy
1t cum onere. If they got into tronble
about 1t with the Yankees. that was their
lookout. He saw that the Yankee Gov
eminent recognized the republic Of Mexi-

RESPECTFULLY DEcL1NEp.-The crazy
proposition to place the rebel States under
IN European pec:orate, slavery to be abel-
ished as consideration, which WAS boldly
suggested in Rishmona paper some weeks
ago, is respectfully declined on the part of
European powers, by the London Tunes,
which intimates that as slavery did not
delay the recognition Of their iHde-
pendence, or make the inducements TO
lake them under pectorate any stronger.
The rebels are fatty informed that they
need not cherish any such delasion. The
Times sees many reasons why no European
power would accept the honors and the
cost of a protectorate. Though it does not
state the number or nature Of these rea.
sons. we presume they ale about five hun.
dred thousand in number, and wear army
blue. A Government that has no seaport
under its own flag, no navy on the ocean.
no money in its treasury, two-thirds Of it's
commanded by an enemy's fleets, all its
armies, save one, destroyed or broken in
pieces, is not in the most desirable condi-
ton to offer itself to any Government for
protection. The cost Of such guardian.
ship would bankrupt the wealthiest nation
in the world, and would lead to sacrifice
of life beyond computation. The time has
gone by when such an offer can be success.

The Declaration of War by Chilli
against Spain.

PRoCLAMATIoN BY THE PRESIDENT OF CHILL.
The government Of Spain has ust open.
ed hostilities against the republic, placing
a blockade with the squadron which she
has in the Pacific, to the port of Valpa
raiso, and. according to reasons for pre-.
sumng, to other Chiisn ports, notwth.
standing the reiterated protests which, in
the name of the Government Of Chill.
have been addressed to the chief of said
squadron, against an aggression which
is justified BY nothing. and which wounds
deeply the honor and rights Of Chill
Provoked in this manner to war, the pec-
pie and government Of the republic find
themselves compelled to accept it as the
only recourse to vndicate its dignity and
privileges, unjustly trampled upon and. to
provide FOR its security, now menaced.
Therefore in uss Of the power which part
l8 of article so of The constitution Of The
state confers upon me; in conformity with
the authority with which the law Of the
25th instant, in section of its only ar
tcle, invests me, | now declare and de.
cree soIemnly:
/. The republic of Chill accepts the
war which the Government of Spain has
excited against Ler.
2. All trade and commerce and everv
kind Of relations between the bellgerent
States are broken off.
3. The authorities and citizens of the
republic will exercise by perfect right,
and will comply with a sacred duty by
committing hostlites against the enemy,
repeliing his aggressions and defending
the national territory by all the means
which the law Of nations permits, and are
allowed among civilized people, ia any
unforeseen case in which they may not
received especial instructions on my part
to The purpose.
4. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Of
the republic will communicate to the
friendly nations this declaration, and
will explain the motives Of the war aud
the justice of our cause; and the Minister
Of The Interior will cause it to reach the
edge OF all citizens of the republic. .
and order it to be published with due
soemnlty.
