Wasuinoron, March 17, 1867. Fenian Delegation at the White House— erview with ‘the President—Belligerent his Solicited, Benjamen Baker and James W. Meagher, rep- tatives of the Irish republic in America, had an im- nt interview with President Johnson yesterday noon, with a view to soliciting a recognition of erent rights by the American government. The ation was cordially received by the President, and Baker, on behalf of the Fenian Brotherhood in ‘ica, made the folowing address :— y people of Ireland have issued a declaration of war. hot our purpose to enter into @ detail of the griev- and injuries inflicted on the Irish people in Ire during seven centuries, the unprovoked invasions r soil, the buraiugs of her homes, the slaughter and hery of her sona, the cruel devastations, the Oy = — egg of her Rasger @ inappeasadle tyranny of the goverpmennt o: ud. Those grievances and injuries are witnessed r forcible maintenance of a foreign oligarchy, who id fatten on the industry of a race who disavow ; in the smoking ruins of the cabins of the humble; pe deserted casties and palaces of au houorable ani ‘ly ancestry; in the solemn silence of ber grave- wherein repose the remains of more murdered n victims than any other empire at any period in istory of the world has ever sacrificed on tyrauny’s d stained altars within equal limits; in her fruitfui js intended by their Creator forthe immediate sup- of human beings, bat converted into pastures for by alien robbers, who bear none of burdens to which the rightful heirs of soil are subjected; in the deprivation of commerce, while possessing all the qualifica- sof a great commercial nation; in the destruction rf manufactures by Britisn legislation; in the disin- tion of communities, the separation of families and See eed exile of millions, who, united in one navon on their own land, could ‘serve bumanity advance civilization, The acis of inhumanity and barity perpetraced are innumerable. They have Pked all Christendom, and it is nmpossible to find a jon whose war is more justifiable, according to all ine iaws and human riguts, aod according to she mou sense of mankind, than that now waged by Ire- Hagainst England tor the assertion of her national pendence, The precedent established by the gov- ment of England in granting boliiverent rights to the rebels of the United States of America immediately the commencement of hostilities; tne firm deter- Pition ot the Trish people ‘im Ireland to no assistance to Enxiand in case a ure occurred = between = Great Britaia_ and United States conseqnent on the Mason Siidell dificulty ; the sacrifice of tens of thousands f@he Irish race in America during the recent war for ma ntenance of this republic, which the monarchi- goveruments of Europe, more especially that of lund, conspired to destroy; the natural sympathy h the people of this republic should extend to those gcling for (reedom now in Ireland, under difticuities to, if not greater, than those under which Wash- jon and his compatriots labored for the liberation of country from Briti bh misrule; the fact that the Irisn fublic has been actually engaged in armed and forei- hostilities against the goverument of Great Britain, jer a provisional government, all these reasons Lave pressed the Irish race to represent the case to your ‘ilency, and to ask tiat the Irish republic shall be pected aa government actually in existence and at with Great Britain by the government of the United , and that the government of the United States in- that the rights ta which the said Irish republic are ied during the war shall be respected by her adver- ly, the government of Great Britain, and according to rules which nations should reciprocaily observe n deciding their differences by arms, The probabil. or im, jiliky of success cannot enter into the von of the propriety or impropreity of recognition betiigerent rights. The law of nations, founded upoa high moral sense of civilized man, recognizes the that two de facio governmenis powers, or armies are jar, and that hives may de lost, humanity injured and ization retarded in hor progress, It does not say, jou must succeed bofore I recognize your right to as human beings” It says, “Your cause is ; you have taken ihe last argument to settle your troversy. Be your struggle lung or short, your suc- [agree or improbable, you are heat of God. Christians, you aré brave, civilized men, and s are fairly and justly entitied to recognition.” the President listened very attentively, and said the t question was, ‘‘is there a de facto government ly in existence?” The delegation assured him was, when he continued :—* This question sbail ive the most serious consideration—that considera- n necessary in deciding @ matter of such great im- nce. You are aware that my sympathies have al- iys beon with your people.” he delegation asked the prompt interference of this ernment in behalf of the American naturalized citi- now pining in British dungeoas for no crime what- er. The cases of Messrs. S. J. Meany and O’Brien were dwelt upon. They argued that if British government were justified in dotaining persons for writing and speaking in Awmer- against English tyranny, it would be ly justified in imprisoning promivent journalists d public men who were naturalized citizens, and who d writien and spoken in a similar way, should they ppen to put foot on British soil. The President said res had been taken for the release of several natu- d citizens, and that the details and particulars of “other cases forwarded to the government would cove attention, and that full justice should be done naturalized citizens. © Reconstraction Question in the South. Numerous letters have been received hero from vari- 18 parts of the South showing an astonishing rev: lu- in public sentiment with regard to reconstruction. bill recently passed by Congress for the purpose bas dy met with much favor from prominent citizens ‘the excluded States who were at first earnestly op- d to it, Tho example of Virginia in accepting the proposed wilh be rapidly followed by all the Southern States.

The supplemental bill is hailed ith pleasure, because it effectually prevents two con- cting conventions, and insures every person authorized der the law to vote, the right to do so, hief Justice Chase and the Bankrupt Law.

They bave been aware for some ska past that some person or persons in New York da statement purporting to give the amounts and tho of alleged over issues; but the most careful exam- o by the most reliable parties had discovered othing more than the duplicate and altered coupons, mounting to some sixteen thousand dollars in all, the xisteace of which had been long known to the Troas- rer and Secretary, and is accounted for as described in he Washington despatch in the Hanan of the 15th.

It has been pretty generally understood among the THE SNOW STORM. One of the largest snow storms of the season, if wo are to believe scientific prognosticators, continued una- bated throughout yesterday, the frozen, torn shreds of the veiling clouds falling incessantly, as they bad done since the inception of this stormy episode, All day long the feathery particles whirled and mingled from the gray arch above, and sifted by eddying gusts formed here and there along the streets and pavements into mounds and drifts that, by virtue of mathematical dimensions alone, were religiously respected by tho throngs of church-goera, Paths indented with the greatest variety of hee! marks, in size and number of Projecting nails, circled around these fieecy mounds, leading now <o the half filled temples of worship and more frequently to the shrines of Bacchus, near whose stern doorways an irregularity of impatient foot marks, and a sill surmounted with the most undisturbed round. ness of feathery snow, bore ample evidtnc e to the effi- ciency and sacredness of the Excise law, The numbers of pedestrians, in view of these om, were thin and scattered, and wherever opportunity ot the facility of the street car was readily availed of. But here difil- cult rose, the ever falling flecks covering the tracks, Es the fa eels hg @ an icy tire, and caus, the Jopipedon of conveyance to slip on and fomeerys off the tracks gd phn most readiness, considet to delay travel, and swoon and smokingly to 2 the discomfort of the quadrupeds who dragged the lumbering car, On these tracks a cylindrical, whizzing, spattering brush was whirled over, but not with that continnous satisfac- tion which its revolutions inspire, when the sun is out and the shower of snowflakes do uot continue to fal following in the rear with such cool and tantalizing per- sistency, The time of the jingiing of bells and the scudding along of dry parties, on lithe runners, was | St ro especially the ‘Bloomingdale road @ city, and the Bloomingdale and thoroughfares leadiog beyond the city limits, being made musical with the sprightly tinklings of the metallic spheroids, Here and there, too, the solemn funeral procession, .with nodding plume and sable hearse, would move majestically to the gaping grave or vault, in striking contrast with the joy that found transient expression im the swiftly passing sleighs. As @ matter of course, the inconveniences of the Hoboken and Jorsey City ferryboats were disregarded by thousands im their eager haste to be whirled beyond the iron grasp of the liquor laws, these two towns being thronged with laughter, whiskey loving humanity, and in centre and suburb ringing with the wild, morry bella, as gay and cemfort- able parties skimmed on easy runners wherever pleasure or caprice directed the reing. At a late hour in the day, however, the clouds began to part, grew flushed with the last colors of an expiring sunsot, and then separated and departed so effectuully that a clear, bright, genial moonlight night was not aifected by any further shower- ings of snow, in view of this heavy fall of snow, which bas blocked up the gutters, drifted the pavements, crowded the roof- tops, and barricaded the limits of the city with walls of deep snow, the certainly returning hot gieams of a vernal sun will transform into a scene of unmitigated siush and mud, in which will be represented the closing rigors of the cold season and the inefliciency of the Sireet commissioner at tho same time—the latter being written almost indelibly in yellow sprinklings on panta- loon and coat tail alike. THE MATB® YESTERDAY. Thero-was little or ho detention in the delivery of the mails in this city yesterday in consequence of the storin, All the New Jersey railroads were open and running as usual; and with one or two slight interraptions the Hud- son aud Erie roads were in a similar condition.

The pro- peller Hasbrouck, which should have left New York at five o'clock P. yesterday, did not leave there till four o'clock, reaching here at ten o'clock this morning. The propeller Miller was aiso nine or ten hours behind time in leaving here. The quantity of ice in the river has greatly increased and navigation north of this city is dangerous in the extreme.

By Rev. Francis Wharton, D. D., LL. D., Rector of St. Paul's Grasek, Brookline, Mass. E. P. Dutton & Co., joston. ‘This elegant and compact little volume contains tho subsiance of sermons delivered in the usual parochial service at Brookline, The learned author states that his object, for the purposes of the pulpit, was to notice the Parochial inferences to be drawn from the Silence of the Scriptures, in some of those instances in which this silence ia most marked, 1m the course of bis investiga- tions of the extent and teachings of this silence, par- ticularly in the New Testament recards, the materials in his hands so expanded as to adapt them to the press rather than the pulpit, The result is almost the only work in which this novel but by no means unimportant subject is distinctively considered. Allusions to the sub- ject have, however, been made by several devout writers, who have agreed in regarding God's ailence in inspired record as only inferior in importance to His express utterance. Archbishop Whately dwelt upon the ‘omis- sions in Scripture’’ in his Essays and in his Counsels for the Times; Canon Miller delivered before the London Young Men's Christian Association in 1858 a lecture on the ‘Silence of Scriptures;” and the Rev. Robert Hall treated tho same theme in his remarkable sermon on “The Glory of God in Concealing.’’ Boyle says of the Bible, “There is such a remafkable fulness in that book that not only its expressions but its silences are teaching, like a dial, in which the ahadow as well as the light in- forms us.” So Archbishop Trench speaks of the Bible’s silence as being more expressive than other books’ speech, and Dr. Wordsworth of the silence of revelation, as in itself inspired, and Dr. Arnold of inspiration being marked by what it does not say as well as by what it does, Dr. Wharton, in expansion of the thought in such texts as these, takes up for exposition and application some of the points in which this silence may be ob- served—the creation of the world, the origin of evil, divination, liturgy, creeds, the Virgin Mary, the Lord’s personal appearance, and its relations, The author's definite statements of his convictions as a sturdy Pro- testant are, happily, free from the bitterness, the odium tvologicum, which controversialists are wont to infuse into their writings, Grusce, ANCIENT AND MODERN. ered before the Lowell Institute. Lectures Deliv- By C. Felton, LL. D., late President of Harvard Uni- versity. In two volumes. Ticknor & Fiels, ston. A lifelike portrait of the late Dr. Felton forms the frontispiece of the first of these large and handsome volumes. The lectures were delivered in the years 1852, 1853, 1859 and 1854, the course designatea ag the third, having been the latest in the order of delivery. it has been thought best thus to transpose the third and fourth, rather than insert the course on Modern Greece between two courses on Ancient Greece, The editor is fully warranted in saying that these lectures, though written very rapidly—almost always in the interval between their delivery—ombody the results of lifelong study and of a conscientiously careful and accurate scholarship, The work fill# in our literature a placo not before occu- pied, and will render essential service to that cause of liberal culture to which the author's whole life was con- secrated. The first course is devoted to the Greek Lan- guqge and Poetry; the second to the Life of Greece; the third to the Constitutions and Orators of Greece; and the fourth to Modern Greece. Tuo fourth course is en- livened by the author's personal reminiscences of his travels in Gree, and it borrows special interest from the prominence which Greece has acquired in the actual condition of politics in the Old World, in view of the Cretan insurrection and the revival of the Eastern question Memoirs AND Corrgsponpvence OF MapamE Rrca- mizk. ‘translated from the French and edited panies org M. Luyster. Roberts Brothers, 801 In aeaiel to give this work of Mme. Lenormant, in its English dress, a more compact and readable form, tho translator has taken, perhaps not injudiciously, consid- erable liberties with tho original. An offort has been made to tone down its prominent defects, so far as that could be done without destroying !ts essential and dis- tinctive character. No changes have been mado in the text which could not be effected simply by condensation, omiesion and transposition. The individuality of the author, the nicce of M. Récamier and adopted daughter of his wife, bas been scrupulously preserved. Nothing bas been omitted that could either throw light upon Mme. Ricamver's character and career or that was of general interest in the way of gossip and anecdote. The translator is justified in saying that it would be dificult to find avy biography that can boast of more varicd sub- Jecta of interest, tbat is more full of anecdote or that furnishes a greater amount of valuable information. It ig @ mirror in which are casually reflected the events of successive revolutions, the passions aod excitements of the period, the men and women who were prominent actors in these shifting scenes. It illustrates society, gives an inside view of persons and things and throws new light upon individual character. The value of its correspondence, composed almost entirely of tetters from distinguished persons, cannot be over estimated, Those of Chateaubriand alone form a complete autobiogra- phy of the last twenty-five years of his life, and give a better idea of this celebrated man than bis own voluminous narrative, written expressly to meet the eye of the public. Mme. Récamier was born in Lyons, on the 4th of December, 1777, and died at Paris on the 11th of May, 1849. A singular feature of the cor- respondence in this book is thet it contains only seven of her own letters, But when the reader has finished the volume he has learned enough to feel familiarly ac- quainted with her, He bas discovered the secret of the fascination which she exercised over her numerous ad- mirers, Among these must be named Napoleon himseif (Jealous as he was of her beauty and influence), as well as bis brother Lucien, the poor Prince Augustus of Prus- sia, the Duke of Montmorency, and, ending the long list, Ballanche and Chateaubriand, This charming volume accounts for the conquests, the social triumphs, the fame of tho most chafming woman of the age. “The secret of her influence lay in the subtile power of a marvellous tact. This tact had its roote deep in her nature: It was part and parcel of herself, the distinguishing trait in a are combination of qualities, Though nurtured and ripened by @perience, it was mot the offspring of art. It was an effect, not a cause; not simply the result of an intense desire to please, regulated by fine intuitive per- ceptions, but of pigher, finer characteristics, such as nata- ral sweetness of temper, kindness of beart and forget- fulness of self.” She was one of the very few women capable of meriting the eulogiuam bestowed on her by Saint-Beuve, when he prettily said of her that she brought the art of friendship to perfection.

It hap- pily illustrates the great improvement which has been made in the methods of teaching the art of penmanship. ‘The old system of submitting models for imitation has given place to scientific analysis of form and the en- forcement of the laws of movement as the basis of ox- ecution, eo that the student, though relying mainly for his proficiency on practice, is given ample employment for his mind in the mastery of the scientific principles which underlie his efforta. The engraver bas produced a fac simile of the writing as it came from the pen, ‘What is lost in geometrical exactness is more than re- covered in the greater freedom and business character- istics of the writing. Two pages containing letter super- scriptions, avoices, accounts current, &c., present busi- ness writing in its every day garb, and just as it appears upon the merchant’s books end in his correspondence, In addition to the regular graded copies and practical forms avery largo and useful variety of ‘‘movement exercises’ is given, But the peculiar charm of the will contre in the more finished artistic portions, bracing off-hand flourishing, ‘and pet draw. ing.

On Saturday night, at about half-past nine o'clock: three ruifans entered tho hotel of Mr, Bachmeyer, known as the Glendale House, located about half way between Newark and New York, and committed « murderous assault on the proprietor and bis som, Jalius, both of whom were severely injured. The Particulars of the affair are “as follows:—Shortly after nine o'clock, on the night in question, Mr. Bachmeyer and his son were about to close up the barroom, as little or no business is done in that ree mote logality after nine, when three evil looking men entered and called for drinks, which were promptly furnished, The men spent a short time in reading the Papers, Mr. Bachmeyer and Julius being en, ig preparations for closing up, unmindful of the at of their visitors. Suddenly one of the fellows jumped up, and, presenting a revolver at the now terrl- fled father and ‘son, cried out, “Your money or your lives.” The others followed his example, and, with- out a moment's warning, the three disci mg their weapons, One of the balls grazed Bachmeyer’s cheek, while another passed wnroagh the arm of his son, inflioting a severe wound. Not satisfied with this each of the raffians drew forth a sabre and as- sauited the proprietor, who received three serious wounds im the head. Julius managed to escape into a back room, where he secured a loaded gun, which was standing against the wall. A boy, about fourteen years old, hear- ing the cries for aid, rnshed out from the rear room, when the rafllans made a dash for him, endeavoring to murder the little fellow, Fortunately er oa only sue- ceeded in wounding him. Julius returped 19 bar- room with the gun, which he digcharged at ae ‘assall. ants, one of whom fell, His ipanions turned and again fired, one of the balls passing through the le log of young Bachmeyer, just below the thigh.
