JAMES GORDON BENNETT, EDITOR AND PKOPRIEIOR. at the Capitol, in the oity of Albany, on which occasion any one having an interest in the subject will have an opportunity to be heard. The City Harbor Defence Commission met test evening, when, various communications making suggestions and proposing plans for the defence of the harbor were received and referred to the appropriate committees. An invitatien to accom- pany the Legislative and Chamber of Commerce Defence Committees on a visit to tho fortifications this morning, was accepted. Some other busi- ness was transacted, and the commissien adjourn- ed to Monday evening next, A special meeting of the Board of Councilmen was held at two o'clock yesterday, to take suit- able action in reference to the decease of ex- Comptroller Robert T. Haws, Esq. A communi- cation on the subject from the Mayor to the Board of Aldermen, and the preamble and resolutions adopted by that Board on Monday were received and unanimously concurred in. A series of reso- lutions were offered by the President to memorial- ize the State Legislature in favor of the passage of their (the Legtslature’s) resolutions extending the Ui terms of the tenure of the office of certain heads et ne eee ™ | of the departments of the city government.

Sones, Buncesquas, | against the passage of the above resolutions oy the Legislature were received and referred to the Committee on Law. The Board adjourned until Thursday evening next at four o'clock. A numerously attended meeting of the members of the Commercial Association was held yesterday at the Produce Exchange Buildings, the object beinc to co-operate with the Board of Trade of Buffalo in an appeal to the Legislatare of the State for the enlargement of the Oswego and Erie canals. Appropriate resolutions were adopted, and a com- mittee appointed to co-operate with the committee of the Buffalo Board of Trade in appearing before the legislative committee to-day at Albany to urge upon the latter the importance of the work. The Court of Orci and Terminer was opened and adjourned yesierday before Justice Clerke, in con- sequence of the indisposition of Judge Barnard. The charges against the prize vessels, the schooner Annie and brig Minna, for running the blockade, were submitted to Judge Betts yester- day. There were no claimants. The Judge took the papers. Decision reserved. The stock market was active but irregular yesterday morning. In the afterneon stocks sympathized with gold, and were lower. Gold declined to 14534, closing 1463; bid. Exchange fell to 160, closing 160.4161. Money was very easy indeed; call loans § percent. The fall in gold led to a temporary stagnation in the produce markets. The heavy fall in gold led to a very general re@ction in prices of merchandise yesterday. Flour declined 1éc., wheat and corn 2c. a 3c., with light transactions. Pork fell off 123¢c. @ 26c.; lard, bacon and cut meats <c., with @ moderate business. Beef, butter and cheese were de- Pressed and drooping. There was more activity in groceries and whiskey, but at declining prices. Cotton was down to 78e. a 74c. for middlings, and quite dull. Most other articles were lightly dealt in at generally easier rates. The freight engagements were restricted and rates irregular. ‘The market for beef cattle was again buoyant under an aotive demand and a short supply, and prices ruled fully 3¢0,per Ib, higher, ranging from 8c. to 13c.—both ex- treme rates—Qc. to 11}gc. is more properly the range, as nearly all sold at within these prices. The cattle werd good, and mostly sold at 930. to 11c., with an average of 103¢c. The government agents took about 250 a 300 head, rendering the supply for the regular trade shorter by that number. The yards were emptied by 10 A. M. yesterday, and the balk of the stock sold on Monday. ‘There is every likelihood that prices will be still higher next week, as they can only be kept down by excessive receipts. Milch cows were tolerably active at $25 a $40, a $60 cach. Veals were steady at 43c. @ 6% a7c., with a few sales of extras at 74;c. Sheep and lambs were active at full prices until yesterday, when the mar- ket ruled heavy; pricesyranged from $5 75 a $10 75— generally $8 a $9. Swine were heavy at 5X%c.a 63c. for corn fed and 53¢c. a 5%c. for stillfed. The total re- ceipts were-4,084 beef cattle, 177 cows, 431 veals, 6,872 sheep and lambs, and B, and 16,356 swit swine. The War, the Government perhead Politicians. At a loyal Union meeting in Washington, on Monday evening last, Mr. Howard and other recently teleased Union prisoners from the South “agreed in the opinion that the only support of the rebellion now was the belief that the copperheads (in the North) were suffi- ciently numerous and powerful to prevent the enforcement of the Conscription act, and to se- riously impede the further vigorous prosecution of the war, even to the extent of creating a civil war in the hitherto loyal States.” These relessed prisoners further testified, as the re- sults of their Southern observations, that, while all expressions of Unionism in the revolted States are repressed with un iron hand, “the occupation of the rebel territory and the re- establishment of the authority of the govern- ment over it would be hailed with joy by a large proportion even of those enrolled in the rebel armies.” We believe this testimony to be true: that the cause of the Union was never stronger, and that the rebellion was never weaker, than ‘it is to-day, and that the only hope of the rebel chiefs now lies in the creation by the copper- head politicians of Northern divisions, distrac- tions and disturbances, extending to bloody riots and civil war in resistance to the Con- scription act and other war measures of Con- gress. These copperhead politicians are simply urging the alternative of armed resistance to the government and the laws and civil war in the loyal States as more desirable than the further continuance of the war against a defi- ant but nearly exhausted rebellion. The vaga- bond peace preacher of this sort, who has nothing to lose, but something to expect, from the pickings of a riot or the raids of a mob, may be consistent with his own shablyy inter- ests in préaching reyistance to the laws; but when his deluded followers are made to under- stand the simple faet that they must stand pre- pared to fight for the government or to fight agaiust it they will be very apt to abandon him in diagust. This time last year the radical abolition fac- tion was our greatest drawback to a harmo- nious and successful prosecution of the war. The impracticable confiscation and emancipa- tion projects of these abolition radicals did much to weaken the arms of the government and the confidence of the country; but the most unfortunate of all the delusions of this faction was the delusion that the rebellion could be put down with our armies then in the field, and that, therefore, no reinforcements would be needed. Upon such representations, made by Senator Wilson, Senator Fessenden and other leading men of the ruling party in the late Con- gress, enlistments were suspended. At the same time the leaders of the rebellion, under a sweeping conscription act, were enlarging their armies in every quarter. Hence those disasters to our arms in Virginia in June, July and August last, which turned the whole tide of the war it us, and brought the ragged rebel army from Richmond into Maryland, and the OFFICE N.

It comes by way of St. Louis, and is to the effect that the steamer Dili- gent, with the Eighth Missouri, had succeeded in entering Yazoo river above Haines’ Bluff. Her course was through Cypress Bayou, which de- bouches into the Yazoo opposite Johnson’s plan- tation, and thence through Steele’s Bayou into the Sunflower, which empties into the Yazoo twenty miles above Haines’ Bluff. The Diligent was ac- companied by a light gunboat. As soon as it ,was found possible to get through four iron-clads fol- lowed. If this be so our forces are now in the rear of Yazoo city, and by reducing that post and Fort Pemberton, may place Vicksburg in our hands. It was rumored that Haines’ Bluff was evacuated, and that the Eighth Missouri had gone up to garri- son the place. Our expeditionary correspondence from that quarter is full of interesting details rela- tive to the movements of the fleet in its progress. An excellent map illustrates the locality in which the expedition operated. Despatehes from Cincinnati, dated yesterday, state that within the last four daye the rebels have made several reconnoissances, causing conside- rable picket skirmishing along the whole front of the Union army. They do not appear anxious, however, to bring on a general engagement. Re- liable information from the South represents that the evacuation of Vicksburg is being advocated for strategic purposes, prominent rebels declaring that by withdrawing their troops from Vicksburg and massing them in Middle Tennessee they ean oblige General Rosecrans to repeat the movements of General Buell \ast year. The capture of Mount Sterling, Ky., by. the rebels is confirmed, but on the other hand we learn that Colonel Garrard attacked the rebel forces under Colonel Clarke on Monday, near Mount Ster- ling, driving them towards Owensville. Nothing new has occurred in front of Charles- ton, nor is any attack expected there until the period of high tides arrives, with the equinoctial season, which is evidently just setting if. The Paris correspondent of the London Nevws, writing on the 6th of March, says :—‘“‘The news of the issue of letters of marque by Mr. Lincoln has caused a great impression here. It is also noticed as significant that the Moniteur has copied an arti- the Cop- cle from an English paper advocating the prompt recognition of the South.” THE LEGISLATURE. The Broadway Railroad bill was again a promi- nent feature in the proceedings of ihe State Senate yesterday. Petitions for and remonstrances against the road were presented, and in the evening ses- sion it was the special order, and occupied the en- tire attention of the Senate. A number of speeches were ma and different amendments proposed; but nothing final was agreed upon, and the subject was again made a speeial order for to-morrow (Thursday) night. The Across Town Railroad bill was reported from the Railroad Committee, for the second time since they have had it in charge, with some amendments, among which was one striking out seme of the down town ferries as points of in- tersection. The bill making an appropriation to the Auburn and Lake Ontario Railroad was ordered to a third reading; also that relative to the asylum for insane convicts. The Bank Committee made a unanimous report against paying the State debt interest in coin. . In the Assembly the Excise bill was considered in the Committee of the Whole, and, after consi- derable time spent over it, had progress reported. The Brooklyn Firemen’s bill and the bill in rela- tion to licemses in this city, with others of minor interest, were passed. The latter bill provides for a bu of license in the Finance Department of our city government, which shall have entire charge of granting, receiving fees for and regulat- ing licenses. The Grinding Committee reported a number of bills to the House, jus NEWS. ‘The mails of the Europa reached this city from Boston yesterday evening. Our European files are dated in London and Paris on the 7th inst., but the news which they contain was telegraphed from Halifax and published in the Hanratp on Monday. We have files of Bermuda papers to March 17; but they contain little news. Her Britannic Majes- ty’s ship Nile (78), Captain Barnard, had teft for St. Thomas and Havana. Admiral Sir Alexander Milne had hoisted his flag pro tem. on board the Galatea, Captain Maguire. Tuesday, the 10th in- stant, being the day appointed for the celebration of the marriage of the Prince of Wales, was ob- served in the islands by the display of flags on board the several ships-of-war, merchant vessels, and at the Government House, consulates and pri- vate staffs throughout the colony, and royal salutes were fired from the British ships-of-war. The French ship of-war Catinat had arrived at Ireland Island. She was from Martinique, and called for some wounded French soldiers in the naval hospi- tal at the island; but, as they are going home to England in her Majesty's ship Orlando, the Cati- . ‘ nat, it is said, after coaling, would proceed to For- | "bel army from the distant mountains of East tress Monroe.

Mw Ootaher « | States in their | “Yom tie Bariae wetter * (dons. The abolition faction recoiled from the shock. The leaders of this faction began then to realize their folly, their delusions and their blunders. They saw that the rebellion could only be put down by superior armed forces in the field, and that the loyal States demanded, not a suspension or abatement, but a more en- ergetic prosecution of the war. Hence the great war measures of the last session of Con- ‘They clothe the President as with the powers of a temporary dictator; they place in his hands all the men, means and money that can possibly be demanded for a crushing cam- paign; and the general desire of the loyal States is that he will boldly exercise his authority and freely employ the men and means at his disposal to bring this war to a speedy termina- tion and to a satisfactory and enduring peace— the peace of the Union fully re-established. But while the radical abolition faction has thus been brought to some satisfactory mea- sures of repentance and atonement, through the pressure of public opinion, we are startled by the peace meetings, peace movements and peace resolutions of this copperhead peace fac- tion of the loyal States. Noisy peace agitators, claiming to lead the conservative demo- cracy, are seen .on every side sawing the air, and en the stump and in the legislative assembly are heard preach- ing peace, and armistices and conven- tions, and the most degrading concessions to Jeff. Davis, and armed resistance against Presi- dent Lincoln, for the sake of peace, when these spurious peacemakers are flatly answered by the chiefs of the rebellion, “We spit upon your peace offerings, we despise you, we defy you; we ask no peace, we want no peace, we will have no peace, short of our subjugation or a Southern confederacy.” The exact issue before us, however, is the subjugation of the rebellion, or half a dozen petty confederacies and perpetual war. There is no choice left us, then, but that of-a crushing” campaign by land and water. Let President Lincoln proceed, therefore, at once to put the Conscription act in force, and all the other measures of the late Congress required to strengthen the army and navy in every quarter. He will be supported by the people of the loyal States. Meantime it is their duty, in every legal and orderly way, to manifest their abhor- rence of these copperhead peace impostors; let them be silenced by public opinion, as the abolition faction were silenced last year, and let the government and-the people, and the army and navy, work together with a will to put down the rebellion, and there will be peace. We earnestly call upon President Lincoln to execute the laws passed to secure a decisive prosecution of the war. The loyal States will sustain him, and thus the cop- perheads will be silenced, the rebellion will be subdued, and we shall gain a lasting peace. Any other road leads to chaos and endless war. Tue Oroan or Tae War Derartment’s Inga or Loyauty.—A short time ago we announced that we would not in future publish lists of deserters, as most grievous mistakes had been made, which wounded the feelings of the living and the fame of the dead, names having been inserted of men who had bravely died on the battle field; of some who had been absent on leave and sick at their homes from disease con- tracted in camp, and of others who were at their posts discharging their duty. The Wash- ington Chronicle—the organ of the War Depart- ment—takes occasion to comment on this para- graph by observing that it appeared in a paper which pretended to be loyal, but that such ex- posures of the errors of the Secretary of War were calculated to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Now it so happens that we did not make any mention of the Secretary of War, and the fact of his organ defending him, under the circum- stances, reminds us of the guilty described by one, of the sacred writers as fleeing when no man pursueth. If our object was to expose the mistakes of the Secretary of War we might fill our paper every day with the recital of them. Our purpose was to relieve ourselves from re- sponsibility for amy blunders, of the mili- tary aunthorities. If it be disloyal to en- deavor to keep the Cabinet right at Washington we are willing to plead guilty. We have from time to time gently admonished them of the errors of their ways when these errors seemed dangerous to the interests of the republic. But we have yet to learn that true loyalty consists in toadying to the head of a department, calling black white in his regard, or sustaining either him or his subordinates in doing injustice to the reputation of any of our brave troops. All candid and intelligent men can easily determine whether the officials who commit such blunders, or the journal which -calls attention to them in the hope of reform, give more aid and comfort to the enemy.

UNION SUCONSSES IN THE srveor OM THE REBELS. ‘There are various reasons for believing that the rebels at Richmood have information of Union successes in the Southwest that has not yet coached us. The rebel sympa- thizers here, who somehow manage to obtain information from rebeldom uiore quickly than any other, are despond- ent, and the tome of the latest Richmond papers is very lugubrious. They earnestly, almost frantically, urgo every person in the confederacy to content them- selves with two meals a day to avoid a famine. They argue that it is mot uow essential to grow fat, and two meals are ample for susteuance of life. They also urge ‘that no more grain shall be distilled, but that it shall be saved for food. The crawling down from the recent de- fiant tone assumed by the Richmond press is very signifi- cant. Tho giants of the confederacy are evidently stag- gering from the effects of the hemming-in process, and Degin to groan in the gripe of the folds of the federal anaconda. REPORTED BAID OF STUART'S REBEL CAVALRY TO THE UPPER POTOMAC. A despatch was received last night from the com- mander at Harper’s Ferry, announcing that the rebel General Stuart, with a considerable force o: cavalry and artillery, was within the federal lines, between Leesburg ‘and Nolan’s ferry, moving in the direction of the latter. ‘There has not been any confirmation of this rumor, but the strongest evidence that it is without foundation.

A special meeting of the General Committee of the Mozart Hall organization was held last evening, for ‘the purpose of receiving the report of the Commitice on Resolutions—Mr, Ray presiding. Mr. B. B. Baaprogp, from the Special Committee, read a ‘series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, and which express sentiments extremely opposed to the war policy of the government.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend tho funeral, since the commencement of the season, an immense au- dience filled the Academy—it would be more appropriate © say overcrowded the house. It was certainly @8 appreciative and fashionable an audience as ever filled the Academy. Before entering ito any ac- count of the individual performances, we wish to Praise the ensemble and great power of the orchestra, as well as the effective choruses, which gave unequivocal signs of caroful and repeated rehoarsals, The mise en scone was all that could be desired by the most exigeant Aabitue of the Academy. Medori, as the Pricetecs, achieved a ‘& mont enviable suc- ess. She sang the “Casta Diva’? admirably, botraying exquisite foci and power. She was loudly ‘applauded, and was forced to an encore by continued demands trom the public. In the second act the duo between Medori (Norma) and Mile, Sulzer (Adelgisa) roused the audience tf a display of enth tic applause which must have beon most gratifying to the artists. We have ae to enumerate the mapy beauties of 's Norma, We can but assert that we have never seon it surpassed while hor rendition of the music of the role was beyond ali doubt masterly. In the third act she surpassed in in. teusity of dramatic acting any artist we bave ever ae in the roleof Norma. The audience were worked u} pitch wo never bolore observed at uur Academy of Mile. Sulzer, as Adelgisa, had a role well hgeecrpi sae or powers.” She acted the part with judgment, and the music pleasingly. We would here take the beri Suggesting to Mile. Sulzer that it is scarcely possible that bustles and crinolines flourished amoung the primitive Druids, and would adytee her by all means to lay aside these modern appendages of fashion when appearing as Adelgisa. Hoops aie the illusion. Signor Mazzoleni, as Polio, was all we expected he would be. Ho savg with’ a power and purity which proved him a finished artist. The role, though secondary, became, when represented by him, one of the chiet attractions of the opera. Tho” continuous applause which the public showered upon his efforts proved how great was his success. His acting is really worthy of commendation, We have seldom wit- nesged in an operatic performer such complete attention to every gesture or motion which may add to the (ull ex- pression of the character represented. An artist is de- serving of ail praise who exhibits even in this matter a continual desire to please the audience; and we are certain that the public will agree with us that horein Signor Maz. this (Wednesday) afternoon, at three o'clock, from the Church of the Nativity, corner of Second avenue and ‘Tnird street, Daavy.—On Tuesday, March 24, Haynau Magia, young: voleni 16 by none of his profession, equalled by | est daughter of Wm. aud ‘Catharine Deady. but very few. ‘The triends and relatives of tho. family are respectfully Signor Biachi, as Oroveso, sang and acted tho | invited to attend the funeral, from the residence of hor role with great power and dramatic effect.

Those who carpat this ineviiable result should bear this in mind. Taken as a whole, we may safely assert that the opera of ‘Norma,’ as rendered on Mouday night by the Maretzek troupe, was equal to any previous performance of Bel- lini’s great work in New York. Tho applause bestowed by the public upon the artists throughout the whole of tho opera bears us out in this assertion. ‘To night we are to have “Linda di Chamounix,” and on Thursday the Maretzek troupe give the “Ballo” in Brooklyn.
