W. SMITH’3 AMERICAN ORGAN. Among the different inventions originated and perfected by American ingenuity during the past twenty years, few are more surprising than the improvement in musical instruments, especially in reed instruments, known as ‘* REED ORGANS,” HARMONIUMS and MELODEONS. European taste has long seemed to have been satisfied with the Organs of Alexandre and Pleyel, although neither of those instruments afford much real variety of tone, notwithstanding the makers have multiplied stops and sets of reeds, and by conse- | quence the cost, to an extraordinary degree, The | merican Organ, made by 8. D.& H. Smith, | Bosten. may safely challenge comparison with either of them, velether as regards variety, power and sweetness ot tone, or cost. } All reed instruments made by the best manufac- turers in this country are constructed on the same | principle, viz: of drawing the air through the | reeds by an exhaustive bellowa, instead of forcing | itthrough them by powerful pressure. and the “American Organ” differs from its competitors | mainly in three points: Ist, the great care and | thoroughness exercised in manufacture; 2d, in the skilful voicing, giving as aay different qualities of tone a8 there are sets of reeds; and 34, in the use | ofa reverberating box, which adds materially to the power of the instrument without detriment to its elicacy, and sweetness, Any person possessing a musical box can readily appreciate thisimprove- | ment ly setting it while in operation on a mantel | or table, and then on a large empty box or barrel, | and observing its vastly increased power and rich- ness when in the latter position. In these three points—and they are certainly material ones—is superiority claimed by the Ame- rican Organs of Mestrs. 8. D. & H. W. Saitx over the read instruments of other makers. The Messrs. Smith being the most experienced Reed Organ makers in Boston(having established them selves in 1852) and saving’ at least equal facilities with any other makers, have always kept them- selves familiar with all improvements and inven- tions in their depattmert, and they confidently assert their“ AMERICAN ORGANS” to be unequalled in voicing, and unsurpassed by any, at home or abroad. in purity, sweetness and power of tone. | The contrivance for producing varied expression. such as the “treble forte,” tremolo and the swell, and the ease with which change of stops may be made, render the AuerIcaN OrGas, in skillful hands. capable of as much delicacy of expression and variety of effect as the expensive Harmoniums of Alexandre with their thirteen registers, and while undoubtedly far superior in durability, is sold for less than half the-cost, The demand in England for Smith’s American Organ is steadily increasing, and is an irrefraga- ble proof that it triumphantly stands the test of competition in their own market with the most celebrated Euro: instruments. _ JOHN F. ELLIS. 306 Pennsylvania avenue, be- tween 9th and 10th streets. is the sole agent for these instruments; and at his rooms can alway! found s complete stock. VETERINARY SUBGEON.

His suc- cessor retired to Waynesboro’, and now holds the mountains between Charlottesville and Staunton. The paper further states that no hospital stores were captured by Hunter.” Another dispatch announces that our forces occupy Staunton.

Mr. Davis rose to a question of privilege, and Tead a letter from Gen. Benj. F. Butler, addressed to himself, dated headquarters in the field, Tune 3, 1964, as follows : Sig: I have read your resolution of inquiry. You can do me no greater tavor than to have every act of my political life, which began on the first Tuesday of November, 1539, and ended on the 15th day of April, 1561, most thoroughly scrutinized. I will thank you also to have every actof my official life, which began as brigadier general of the Massachusetts militia April 16, 1-61, and will end when this war does, if not sooner subjected to the like exam- ination. I have ne favors to ask, and but one act of justice—that the inquisition may not be ex parte; that is, one sided. Your obedient ser- vant, Bew.. F. BUTLER. Mr. Davis said this letter was in terms such as any man conscious of his innocence would use. The terms of the letter were calculated to increase his estimation of Gen. Butler, as they make an appearance of prima facie evi- dence in his favor. Gen. Butler may be in- nocent of the charges contained in his (Mr. Davis) resolution. He had no personal preju- dice against that General, and if he was in- nocent, he would be gratified to find itso, as he would of any one else; and he thought every man should have the opportunity to prove his innocence. General Butler has of course read the reso- lution and writes his letter in view of its char- acter. The resolution calls for a committee of three to be appointed by the Chair to investi- gate, and with power to send for persons and apers. He understood General Butler there- fore to have accepted the gauge justin the form it has been tendered. As a Senator and a man he felt perfectly competent to do Gen’! Batler justice, according to the truth of his case. He therefore hoped the Senate would at once pass the resolution without debate, and authorize Becoceauies with matter in the manner desig- nated. At the request of Mr. Harris, Mr. Davis re- frained from pressing his resolution at the mo- ment. Mr. Trumbull, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported back the bill in relation to the fees and emoluments of the Marshal, Attor- ney, and Clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes, with an amendment as a substitute. Mr. Powell moved to suspend all prior or- ders and take up the bill to prevent officers of the army and navy, and other persons engaged in the U.S. service, from interfering in elec- tions. The motion was rejected. Hovss.—Mr. Cox, from the Committee on the Rules, reported an amendment to the same, namely: To admit ex-members to the floor of the House, provided that such persens sub- scribe to a statement, to be filed with the Speaker, that they have no interest, either directly or indirectly, in the prosecution of any claim or bill before Congress; and that they Will not use their influence to further the inter. est of any one before Congress. After a conversation between various mem- ters, the new rule was laid on the table. The Senate’s amendments to the Internal Revenue bill were ordered to be printed and committed to the Committee of Ways and Means. : The House resumed the consideration of the bankrupt law. Several gentlemen expressed themselves in favor of the bill, and one only (Mr. Cravens) against it. Mr. Jencks, of Rhode Island, who reported the bill, made a few remarks, urging its pass- age, and moved the previous question. Mr. Steele, of New Jersey, moved to lay the bill on the table, and the motion was disagreed bey bore 49, nays 65. The bill was not further acted on, because it had not been engrossed. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. NATIONAL acer peged iid CONVEN- Bartimore, June $.—The Convention reas- sembled at ten o’clock, President Dennison in the chair. Prayer was offered by the Rey. Mr. Gladdis, delegate from Hamilton county, Onio. The hall was, if possible, more crowded than yesterday, every nook and cormer being occu- pied to its utmost capacity. The President called for reports from com- mittees. The committee on the order of business, by its chairman, Day, of Connecticut, reported the rules to control the Convention in the transac- tion of its business; which were read, amended | and adopted. Mr. King, of New York, chairman of the committee of credentials, reported, that after patiently investigating the claims ofevery Sta‘e, the Missouri radicals were admitted, and the Arkansas delegation admitted to seats, without permission to vote. The South Carolina dele- gation were not admitted. The delegates from the District of Columbia were admitted to seats, without the right to vote. ‘The report of the minority was presented by Mr. Stevenson, of West Virginia. The report of the majority was concurred in, except so far as it exclu delegates tromVir- ginia, Arkansas, and the territories of Colo- tado, Nevada, and Nebraska, from the right of voting. The rtion of the majority report so far as rel to the uncontested delegation was adopted. Mr. King, chairman of the committee. moved to amend the report so far as related to the Missouri Delegation, known as the Uncondi- tional Union Delegation, “that they be admitted with the radical delegation, and where the two delegations they cast the vote of the State, and where they do not agree the State should not vote.” An sxciing, debate ensued on thisamend- mei n Mr. Breckinridge moved to amend the amend- ment so that instead of silen: the vote of tains aie woof ite Sse vtond yote of vided. to address the Convention on his.

After further debate the previous question was called for, and the Convention proceeded to vote on the amend- ment off by Dr. Breckinridge, to admit both delegations and to divide the vote of the State between them. The amendment was rejected. The Convention then voted on the main question of Mr. King’s amendment to the ma- jority report, to admit both delegations, with authority to vote where they can agree, and where they should not agree the vote of the State should not be cast. This was also rejected. : The question then recurred on the adoption of the majority report. Acallfora vote by States was made; snd the yote resulted in the unanimons admission of the Radicals, only four votes in the negative being given; three from Pennsylvania and one from Kentucky.

LOOAL NEWS. CSS aE RETURNING HomE.—The steamer Cossack arrived about noon to-day, bringing up the 2d Rhode Island regiment, whose term ot ser- vice expired Monday. This regiment came out in June, 1961, and was for ashort time en- camped near Gales’ Woods, after which they encamped on the Seventh street road, and built Fort Slocum. They came out with fall ranks, 1,010 officers and men, and have since received numerous recruits, conscripts, &c., and during the time over two thousand have been in the ranks, and out of theentire number there are about 250 remaining, the other having been killed, wounded and discharged. After the regiment started for home seven of them were killed or wounded, having been picked off by rebel sharpshooters. About 100 re-enlisted men were left behind. This regiment has been at- tached to the 4th brigade, 2d division, 6th ses ed and is now under command of Major Jenks, (Lt. Col. Reed being at home in Rhode Island, having been wounded in the Wilderness.) Their tattered and torn flags evidence themany hard-fought battles they have engaged in. But three of the original officers are now with the reciente: They expect to leave for home to- night. ————— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN— The Coal-heavers Strie.—The various coal companies were with- out laborers at their docks all day yesterday; the laborers having struck for higher wages the day before. The agents immediately sent to tbe various centraband quarters, and ob- tained new gangs to work for the same wages the strikers refused—#1.50 per day. The gangs are not as numerous as required, but will be reinforced to-day. This morning some of the old gangs went to the docks and proposed to go to work again, but were peremptorily or- dered away by the agents. The Canal is fullof boats for about two miles above the aqueduct, all laden with coal. Portof Georgetown.—Entered—Schr. R. Mason, Cook, of New York, merchandise. Cleared— Schrs.

What he did say was that Mr. Semmes was supported by “those who desired the ¢ivision and destruction of the Union that slavery might be perpetuated, and by those who sought to preserve i: Union for the useand benetit of the negro alone.” And of course he did not in- tend to be understood that all who supported Mr. Semmes were of these two classes.
