RECAplTULATION.
Gear republican gain of two members

SrArus OF THE RADICAL HERoEs-The Washington
neigrnccr has the following in relation to the record
OF the prominent radicals:
There is hardly cne Of the men who were prominent
in the proceedings Of the recent radical dissnion de-
mOnstration at Pittsburgh or OF the preceding negro
suffrage convention at Philadelphia, who has not
cord in favor of secession and slavery. VI TO 1861
Brownlow the most violent and protane!advocate
of slavery and southern cOnedcracy that: could be
found in the whole country. He gave the keynote of
secession and threatened upon the npIth lie
was probably the fist who started the idea ef south
ern conlederacy in the interests of slavery Butler
was also a violent pro-Slavery advocate. Heqmrrelcd
with the democratic leaders in 1860 because they were
not sufficiently pro-slavtry and Statcsrghts lie set
on foot the political movement which resulted in the
adoption of ordinances OF secession in the sputh lie
was the sworn friend and chief .eman OF Jefferson
Davis and until the commencement of actiH host-
ties the earnest proSlavery democrat in all the
north. Goycrnorgcncrl Hamilton was an open adj
rocate Of the revival Of the African slave trade and
an applicant for money raise company for the
of the southern contederacy. Speed the president Of
the Philadelphia negro suffrage convention was The
beginning Of the war; opposed coercion OF the south
and did more, perhaps, than any one other man, cX
cept the rebel general Buckner, to induce Kentucky
to take up arms to prevent the Union troops from in
vading the south. John a. Logan, nowtha great rad
cal biz gan in the west at time openly charged
bv his Union neighbors in Illinois with raising troops
for the rebel army, and about that period stood up in
sporting house in this city and raising hi right
exclaimed 9 If ever | take up against the south
may this arm fall paralyzed.' JeIn Cocljrane, But
iers chief assistant at Pittsburgh and viee-preSiden
upon the Fremont Cleveland straightout negro-suf
frage convention Of 1854, in speech in Richmond
Virginia in the autumn of 1850 encouraged the rcb
els to prosecute their scheme by declaring that ''wher
there shall be regiment raised in the norh
the south there will be also another regiment raised
in the north to put the first one down" In 1861
Stokes of Tennessee who has recently been stumpn2
the country in behalf of the radical disunion pro
gramme announced to the people of tennessee in the
Duncan letter, that he had enrolled himself il
rebel military organisation and advised resistance
= the Lincoln tyranny
These only examples taken at random from tht
lists of the busiest advocates of negro suffrage and
active leaders of the radical dsunon faction. The,
are the men who stirred up and rebellion il
the South. They are now plotting treason and civi
war in the north.

Additional Cotton Regulations.

Editor Of the Cresce"t-An editorial with the above
CAPTION published il the Crescent, the 26th inSt you
conclude bv expressing hope that the collectors
will place upon these additional regulations such
construction as may facilitate the business Of the
country and not shacke it with new tranmels
Is a proper construction Of the same is of great
importance and as mine differs materially from yours

benefit of your commercial readers
Under the previous regulations, cotton could not he
removed from one collection district another with
prepayment OF the tax except upon the execution
of transportation bond by the shipper, for each par
t;cular lot of cotton. In each case, it required
that the cotton should be weighed, assessed, and
marked: that the shipper should execute the neccs-
sarv bond be approved by the collector of that dis
trict that the collector should certify the execution
of such bond to the assessor, who should thereupon
grant permits for its removal from such district
Where it was convenient to ship from places at which
an assessor or weghcr located there was less in
convenience but in great majority of cases, it sub
iected the planter to nnumerabe and veNatiouS de-
lays and expenses, before he could get his cotton 10
market.
1t believed the new regulations will obvIate these
objections in a great measure. Under them the lac
tor at New Orleans may execute general continuing
bond to the collector of his district conditioned for
the payment of the upon all cotton that may be
consigned to him from particular collection district
As the region Of country from which cotton IS shipped
to New Orleans embraces but lew collection districts
and the business of any factor does not often
tend to all Of them, this provision be easily COM

The bonds having been fled with the collector at
New Orleans he will Immediately furnish copies there
of to the of the respective districts tor
which they are executed; and any person may there

bond by applying to the Of the district eI

Such permit must be granted upon application, and

Upon its arrival at New Orleans, instead OF being
delivered and stored by the collector as heretofore,
when bonded it is received once by the factor, who
has it weighed and assessed and pays the tax thereon
formerly. Upon payment of the tax the collector
will issue the factor his certificate thereof I'D dnpla
cate one copy of which the factor will preSens To the
of his district for the additional certificate
quired, and then transmit the to the assessor
from whose district the cotton shipped Tie other
copy he will retain for his protection in case OF the
loss of that transmitted to the assessor.
The assessors of the several districts will keep an
account with each factor, who has given bond for his
district charging him with each shipment and credit
ing him with each certificate of payment tsat if II
factor has given bond for thousand bales an in
definite number may be consigned him, provided he
promptly transmits his certificates of payment SO the
assessor and keeps his 60a2tce, @5th him, ctff tie
limit Of his bond
1t will be Seen therefore, that by the execution OF
single bond, for, say thousand bales, the Hctor
may receive fifty thousand bales under it

duplicate certificate of payment.

regulations remove nearly all the embarrassms'ntS al
tending the removal oil cotton to this port fnd will
greatly facilitate the business of the county, and
strengthen those regulations between the panser and

While the method of shipping cotton in bond here
toforc established, may still be resored to- ifpr$erred,
Commissioner Rollins and secretary McCulloeh have
shown their desire to facilitate the business OF the
country, by most libcry constructing the lawi in pro

The esettysbur2 Monument.

The contract for the erection of the Get
tysburg monument las been awarded to
james G. PATTERSON, of Hartford, CT, at n
cost of $4,000.
The monument will stand upon the crown
of the hill where the cemetery is located.
Around it, in semi circular slopes, will lie
the bodies being now burried-t honor
cd dead, each man being separately cotlined.
and the men of each State together in sec
tions. The division between the States are
marked by alleys leading from the monu
mcnt to the outer circle the cotiined rows
are divided 10y continuous granite blocks
six inches in height, upon which the name
and regiment of each soldier, SO far as as
certained, is inscribed as for his proper
hcadstone. .,
The monument is twenty-three feet
square at the base, and fifty-fvc feet in
height. At the angles of the base are four
buttresses, each supporting colossal sta
tue in sitting posture. These statues are
allegorical, and represent respectively War,
History, Peace, and Plenty. War IS repre-.
sented by the figure of an American soldier;
who, resting from the conflict, relates to
History the story of the~battle and the
names of the honored dead, while History
with her stylus and tablet writes down the
imperishable record. The corresponding
statues symbolze Peace and Plenty. Peace
is represented by mechanic with tue i'm
plements of his trade about him. Plenty is
typified by female figure with sheaf of
wheat and ploughshare. These last figures
indicate the industry and activity which
shall succeed the ravages of war, and the
abundance and prosperity which are the
crowniug results OF the glorious victory
here achieved.
! Upon the richly moulded cornIce rests an
octagonsl plinth, bearing in 5nsso relicco the
coat of arms Of the United States On the

DEsTRUC TIVE FIRE.


About half-past nine o'clock last evening
the extensive coal oil refinery of Messrs.
Logan & Lloyd, located at the corner of
Twentieth street and Washington avenue,
took fire from leak in one of the stills
The principal buildings of the refinery, in
Guiding the still and treating houses, Office,
stables, frame sheds and about eight hun.
dred barrels of oil and benzine in tanks and
process of refining, were consumed, and the
machinery, fixtures and apparatus rendered
complete wreck. large quantity of re-
fined oil and benzine in barrels and cans,
was rescued.
The fremen worked nobly, and prevented
the flames from extending to the surround
ing properties, though none of the blazing
oil escaped into the streets Some of the
adjoining sheds fell in from the weight of
the people on them, and number of per-
sons, including firemen, were hurt, but no
one, so far as we could ascertain, was seri-
ousy injured The total loss will amount
to about $4,000, and is fully covered by
insurance in New York and New England
companies. The fire made great light
and ut one O'Clock this morning was still
burning, notwithstanding q drenching rain
prevailed

s=Y Sir MORTON PETo, in late report,
made at home, stated that he and his asso-
ciates were on the best terms with the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The Atlantic
and Great Western Company have made n
proposition to lease, to the extent of their
own business, the Philadelphia and Erie
Road, which proposition is satisfactory to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
has been sent to London for approval there
10y parties in interest, which it will most
likely receive. This will identify the Allan
tic and Great Western with the Pcnnsylva.
mia Railroad to such degree as to stop col
lisions between them. According to this
agreement third rail is to be laid on the At
lantic and Great Western road, from Cory
where it connects with the Philadelphia &
Erie road to St. LOUIS, thus making con.
tinuous line from Philadelphia and New
York, to the west, over the Philadelphia 6
