We deem it an inestimable privilege to live in this heaven-fa- vored land, but the fathers of the orphans, who sleep the sleep hved for this country, but they died for it. They ‘were our brothers, our friends, our neighbor, In the days when peace reigned we met them in our streets, In stores in workshops, on their farms and in the forests but the hour of national peril came, and these quiet, pence- loving citizens were transformed into heroes. They rose from the sphere of the citizen to the plane of the patriot and armed with the courage of the warrior, But they were not only patriotic and brave and darings they were martyrs v also.

EXx-Miister Motley’s letter defending himself against the charges t he violated his mstruc- lions as United States Minister at the Court of St. James i to bea document of great ability and much interest, It is understood that in addition to the original ietter sent the etary of Stare Sena- tor Sumner 1s also in possession of a copy. At all events he is fully posted as to 18 contents, and he regards it as a complete vindication of his friend Motley. After the recess {tt will be called for vy resolution; but it 1s doubtful if te Senate will pass such @ resolution, IMasmuch as the document was prepared by Mr. Motley after his recall, and cannot, therefore, be regarded as in any way an oficial paper, Itis sud, however, that the President, who has read the letter, is in favor of letting it go to the country. Should the Senate cali for 1t it will probably ve sent. in with another document Intended to be a reply to Motley’s statements. It has come out that Motley received notification that the administration no louger desirea his services the next day after the Senate refased to ratify the st. Domingo treaty Up to that ume Mr. Motley had never received an intimation from the President or the Secretary of State that his course at London was not entirely sausfactory. He was a good deal surprised at the despatch he then re- ceived from Fish, especiaily as he had never said or written a word against the St. Domingo treaty. Mr. Motley asserts that he was particular in all bis offi - cial and personal communications with the British government to follow the very Jetter of kis instruc tions, Tiis and much more is set forth very elabo- rately in his letter of vindication, which will be given to the public at no distant day through Con- gress or by Mr. Motiey’s personal friends, Meeting of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations held @ special meeting at the Department of State to-day, at which all the members were present. The nature of the business under consideration is Kept secret, but at is hinted that Jt was with reference to the in- structions of General Schenck. There is another report, to the effect that the meeting was for the purpose of considering @ bill embodying the recom: mendations of the Presidents message with refer- ence to the settlement of the Alabama claims, It wiil be remembered that the President in his message recommended Congress to authorize the appointment of a commission to take proof of the amounts and the ownership of the claims on notice to the representative or her Majesty at Washington, and that authority be given Jor the settlement of these claims by the United States, so Unat the government shall have the own- ership of the private claims as well as the respon- sible control of all the demands against Great Brit- ain, It is more than probable that the meeting of the committee to-day was for the discussion of this subject, and had no immediate connection with tne insycuions of General Schenck. = ah Another Sensntion Canard.

It is understood that at the expiration of the holl- day recess the President wit! appoint a Commis- sioner of Patents and a succersor to Commissioner Wilson in the Land Office. There are a large num- ber of applicants for these places, but it is not known who the Presigent will select. Judge Drummond, of lowa, is prominently mentioned as the successor of Mr, Wilson in the Land Office, Surratt and His Lecture. ‘The Board of Managers of the Young Men’s Chns- tian Assoctation building having decided that Lin- coin Hall should notbe rented to John H, Surratt for the recital of his complicity in the plot to abduct President Lincoln, his agent has secured the use of Oda Fellows’ Hall, the next hall in size and conven~ jJence, and the announcement has been made to that effect. The refusal of the Board of Managers to allow Lincoin Hall to be used by Surratt has excited considerable comment among the friends of the would-be lecturer. It is argued that the hall is advertised as @ public hail and is rented for lec- tures, entertainments, &c., without regard to politi- cal or sectional feelings. The annual rent received from the stores, rooms and hail does not pay the ex- penses of the building, 80 the managers contend they but deprived themselves of the amount that might have been received, rather thau have it said the hall had ever peen used fer the purpose of giving audience to the patrons of Surratt’s lecture, Odd Fellows’ Hall is also rented on all occasions, so that no blame need be attached te that benevolent order.

Treasury Circular Prescribing Regulations Under the New Tariff Act. ® Secretary Boutwel! to-day issued a circular to collectors of customs prescribing regulations to Try into effect certain provisions of the act pproved July 14, 1870, better known as the Tariff act. The first is in relation to the sampling of sugars. itis provided by the twenty-first section of the act of July 14, 1870, a8 amended by the act of December 22, 1870, that the Secretary of the Treasury shall by regulations prescribe and reqnire that samples from packages of sugar shall be taken by the proper officers in such manner as to ascer- tain the true quality of such sugar, and the weights of sugar imported in casks or boxes shal! be marked distinctly by the Custom House weigher, by scoring the figures indelubly on each package. Under the provisions of law it 1s directed that the percentum of each importation of sugar shajl be sampled, ex- cept when it 18 imported in mats or bags, when, tf deemed sufficient, a less quantity can be sampled. The samples shail be taken as follows, viz. From sugars in hogsheads, tierces or barrels, by drawin, from the head, centre, foot and sides of the packugen: from sugars in boxes, by drawing from the top, bottom and sides ‘of the boxes; from so-called “wet foots,” when either in the sides or ends of the packaxe, by drawing from the part where the “wet foot” is found, and marking on the sample package the depth of such wet foot, ‘This will be in addition to the sampling as aforesaid. When the the sugars of an involee or entry ure thus obtained, #0 as to Tepresent a true average of the contents of the particular package, each shall be carefully compared with the Dutch standard to test the color for classification. Those of the same grade under the law shall be classed together, and all th packages contained in an invoice or entry ahall Ue classified in color and rate of duty i that proportion which the sample packages, as examined and tested, represent. In testing the color of sugars and fixing the rate of duty they thal) always be regarded as above the test standard with which they are hetng compared when they ure lighter in color, even though they do not reach the next grade or standard ‘above that which estab- Ushes the rate of duty. The weights of sugar imported in cases or boxes shall be marked distinctly as Koon as the same are weighed by the United States weigher, braniting on the head of the casks or the cover of the box the grown weight, tare and net weight of — the packazen, The branding will be done by means’ of hob iron or copper figures, branded on the head of the cask, as is commonly used, The second regulation rescribes the manner in whieb customs officers shall classify for duty wool on the nkon, that its be done according to the standard samples, and that the sking must also be entered for duty under the proper ciassilication. It is not deemed practical to make any fixed rule by which the weight of the wool can be accurately ascertained, ‘That must be deyermine by welghing the pelts and then by the wppratser or other ofiicer of the customs actin, ch, allowing what may be deemed # suficient tare Kin, ‘The third reguiation preserives the manner in which mals imported for breeding purposes may be ent’ red { duty. Under the clauseof the new taritl iaw providing for the free entry of certain animals, the following regulations are specitied :To admit to free entry antmais trom beyond the seas, when Imported for breeding purpose , the owner there. of will be required to produce to the collector at the port of importation a certificate from the United States Consul at the port of shipment, showing that the animals are, to the best of his information and beliet, intended for sach purposes, and also a statement of the owner, under oath, that the animais were purchased abroad and imported into the United States especially for breeding pur- entitle teams of animals, inciudin; poses. To their tackle and harness, when brought into the United States by immigrants, to Tree entry, the immigrants must produce to the collector evidence that they are really the property of the immigrants, 4c. When animais are oifered for entry, which are shown to be designed for exbibition at any public fair or show, or for competition for prizes, &e., ers of the customs will be required to appraise the animais so offered, exeenting a bond with the person en- titled to make the entry, with sudicient sureties, conditioned for the retarn of the aniroals to the country from whence they came in the proper tine, not to exceed six months, or in defanit thereof payment of daty on such appraised value; otherwise they will not be allowed to pass into the United States free of duty. Regulation fourth prescribes substantially the same in- stractions as were issied in the circular ot March & 18,0, The Gith regulation, in conformity with tue. pro- visions of the twenty-third section of the above act, 18 ax follows:—Machinery and apparatus, designed only for and adapted to be used for steam towage on canals, will be entitled to free duty only when it is imported by & State or by some person duly authorized by the Legislature of a State, ‘Toeevidence therefor required by collectors in the former case will be @ certificate from the Governor of a State, under the seal thereof, stating that such machinery is imported for and Intended be used tn behalf of ihe State; and in the latter ease the person clarming) fre entry must produce a properly attested copy of the act o the Legislature of the State which authorized him to import the said machinery. Steam plough machinery will also be ad- mitted to entry wader said section upon the importer fling satisfactory evidence, under oath or affirmation, with the collector at the port of importation that the same js Imported dy him for bie own use and not for SHIPPING NEWS.

DANIELS, M. 0., 144 Lexington avenue 0 THK AFFLICTED. PROGRESSION OF MEDICAL SCTENCE, Having seen the card of thawelebrated Dr. ¥. P. THORPE, now located at 66 West Twenty-fourth atreet, thia city, J be- came possessed of a strong inclination to Lave an interview with the man who had almost entirely discarded the old choo] of allopathy, aud nad accorapliahed each astonishin, cures in the South ‘and West. I therefore repatred to th Doctor's residence as above, and J can aneury iy Wha readers tay nnticipations were’ morg than realized. I fo ‘the Doctor an affable and very pleasing disporitioned gentle- man, fu! of vivacity, suavativeness and geniality, and & man whote very words are well calculated to Inspire his auditora with confidence. As to the Doctor's theory of bis new ays- tem, which be calls “Jsychological Medicine,” and which is a0 little understood by the profession, | was overwhelmingly astonished and electrified by the powerful force of ile scien titio, logical arguments, vacked tip and sustained as they were by incont bie evidences of the een character. Dr. ‘Thorpe 1s what would be termed a Spiritualist,” and $4 surely a progressionist, believing that the only real Kubstance and higeest power of all things is spirit, and that spirit cou- trols the vast universe of matter, and that the Inuer lite or snbstance of spirit is love, and love, when properly directed, will remove any antagonistic obstacle, even mnonntains. Aside from metaphysics Pr. Thorpe’s tesrarches und ex- periments jn Materin Medien are unparalleled by all other savans or Esculapians. His extensive travels for sume years have enabled him to come Jn contact with many diseases no- known to the faculty, and consequently his experience is un- surpassed by wuy local practitioner. “Many who vend this article will say, what a puff ? Let It be coiihaae comprising, crerything Jat te 0, ft the proper aigniticatios of that word be holarietys let it de 80, for so we mieid it, and let the world judge the motive which prompted it. Having paused the allotted (ime of life, and many yeurs an a practitioner of medicine du this city, and feeling the great need of a salutary change or reform Io medicine, and ulso havin, me witness of and having seen and heard the great Star of the South and West, whi sbail be a beacon to Tead--in hie combination of Mental a Fhvaical Medicine-man to a bigher standpoint of health aud happiness, it xeems to me, if I hold my peace, ‘the very stones witi ery out." T will conclude by referring to one of the many editorials Dr. Thorye line, spenkiog in proper terms of his unparal- Jeled success in his new system :— he Memphie Avalanche, March 6 1870.
