SKETCHES OF CITY LIFE THE CORONER. The fact that an unknown man was found dead yesterday morning in a board-yard, or upon a wharf, or, in en unoccupied dwelling, is recorded daily by our reporters. The filets are also recorded that the Coroner held an inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict; but the people who read the same know very little of either Coroner or jury. We propose to give a short summary of the duties of these func tionaries, using the terms Coroner" and " jury," wherever referred to, in a general and not a speci fiesense ; for both these individuals- are assess try evils, inasmuch as unknown and known mon will meet condign deaths, and the safety of folks de mands that investioution should he had. The Coroner and his jury are the investigators. If young Wig gins, who peddles dime battens, should take it into hje bead to fall into a collar while slightly inebri ated, the Coroner must examine the body, and the jury must decide as to the cause of his decline. Otherwise, Wiggins might have been pushed over, or pillaged, or poisoned, If old Waggers, president of the Beef-Eater's Bank, after n long course of premeditated gluttony, should one morning, in the manner of Eli, drop out of his chair with apoplexy, it must be settled as to whether apoplexy was the exacl cause of Wag. gem' end; for Mr. Waggers, who is young and af fectionate, might have placed some suspicious pow flee in his soup, or gamed the legs of his chair, or in some other way disposed of his person and property. So the Coroner at once drops into the nearest po lite-station, and summons a half-dozen highly o`- tuse gentlemen, who look at young Wiggins, and squint at old Wavers, and immediately conclude that the decessA came to his death from natural causes. They are thereupon taken by the Coroner to the nearest public house, and regaled with glastes of ale, whereupm the spirit of the dead man is sup posed to be at pence. nolsercr, ihe;e things are necessary_ Every day, in a large city, some unfortunate comes to a terrible death. Casualties are, in some sort, the only history of the world ; the difference being that the jury — whether it be posterity or six men—make up their verdict variously. When atrocious mur der has slain its victim for gold, or hate, or lust, the feet of his slaying Must be established. A post mortem examination is held, wherein the Coroner's surgeon, after some fearful anatomizing, extracts a bullet from the throat, or detects arsenic by his infallible experiment, in the contents of the sto mach. The Coroner's clerk writes the same in his note-book; the sagacious jury shake their h£llll3, as if impressed with the folly of further existence, and the reporters—birds of carrion in this respect— go buzzing hither and thither to ascertain the sen sational parts of the business. Then they throw a cloth over the body and make a direct line from the place of inquest to the nearest hotel, where, as if to drown remorse, they bury reason in the flow ing bowl and forget. the whole occurrence. In our experience ns an Itemizer, we have taken some note of coroners. They are flitting folks, now here, now there era, as if to be further identified with the obi world, aro always with the dead. To-day, at seven A. M., the Coroner may be in Kensington, presiding at the inquest of a babe that—thank God l—came' into the world, but never knew its misfortune. At nine he may head his junto by the come of a boy, who, fiyinghis kite from the roof of his home, tumbled over the eves, and his soul went up, lihe a messenger, on the string. At ten, with hands stained and sleeves rolled up to the elbows, he may be probing the brain of a young man that, crossing the highway, was trodden down by an infuriated horse. Four trifling eases of vagrants found suffocated in a cel lar may give the Coroner an appetite for dinner, and the afterneou may find him prosecuting his delicate and excellent duties in Germantown or Frankford. And thus, day after day, men and women go out of nature into eternity. and their histories are com- Fired in ohc lim s of the neat moraines paper— " found dead." " died from debility," "causes no. known," " weapon in the hand or hands of parties to the jury lIT A sad reflection—the sum mary of the life and times of a Coroner—upon the uncertainty of human existence. It might be of consequence to accompany the Coroner (tett° general, nobody meant) upon one of his morning calls, in company with the intelli gent jury. We are at the Central Station; two operators are reading novels, in hard-backed chairs, and four lost children are blubbering in a corner, to the immi nent risk of dipping their fingers in a battery cup. A pole-climber is taking a nap, having been up all night, and one of the detective effirers is writing a letter, at the shabby little desk. Suddenly the lit tle bell, attached to the northwest wires, com mences to jingle, and directly the index hand spells out en the dial liCoroner wanted, at Mali_ Wood's wharf. on the Schnylkill.' Directly the Coroner's clerk drops in, looking ravenously for victims. He sees the cabalistic writing upon the elate, end straightway his eye lights up. Together the Coroner and clerk climb into a car, With 4 party of reporters et their 'web, whom the conductor regards very unpleasantly, and grumbles that he hss carried nothing but dead-beads all day. A pleasant reminiscence that makes the whole Vempany Tavel, io related by the clerk, and ono of the reporters laments that there hasn't been a murder for a month. Be don't know, and says it with a short oath, what the world will come to if matters are as dull another week. Then the Coro ner relates the csse of a "party" that fell from a pair of high hears at two o'clock on Tuesday, and Velii ir etsroni=nt This reminds the clerk of the feller" that caught behind a team on Lc Monday noon," and was poked in the ribs, by the tongue of a car, so that he fell down with a short cry and si-as tramped to death. The statistics of the business" is then taken np, and - the Coroner figures in his head the number of fresh graves at Potter's field. Thus, pleasantly the time passes, until a stout policeman in muddybreeches gets into the car and slap the Coroner familiarly on the back. " I see you come out up to time, Cor'ner," he saps, grinning, as if he bed invited the Coroner to dinner ; " it ain't fur ?" "What is it," says the Coroner, nodding quietly, as if making an inquiry into the grain finances; "is it a drowning !" " We don't eggzactly know," says the officer, tak ing off his cap, and scratching his head; "the Leftenant thought it might be as he was shoved off. lie's out, you know, sorest the cheek, and there was a mule 'boy as might have done for 'im ! ROW ever, come over and see ; its only a step!" At these suspicions, the reporters prick up their ears, but the Coroner's clerk raises his eyebrows with a smile, for be knows that foul play has beep surmised at every sudden death. A party of little boys see the Coroner dismount from the car, and are at once impressed with the idea that somebody has been arrested : As one of the reporters is walking by the officer, they fix upon him for the culprit, and the line and cry IN come immense. Through alleys, unpaved streets, by cellars of dwellings never built, and across dismal lots, where some lean goats are browsing, the party tithe their way. At the end of a wharf, under a shed, a group of idlers, hands in pockets, and some children and old women are standing silently. A canal barge is ratting at the tide of the wharf, mut the river is very muddy and smoky. At the Coroner's ap proach there is a murmur among the group of "here he comes," and they stand aside to lot the functionaries The dead men is lying on his back and his chin has dropped against his breast. There is a clammy mass of tar upon his fame and hair, and the water is dripping froni his limbs. ills hands are blench ed, for he had been in the river some time, and his boots are soaked and oozing. The officers, two re porters, and,the Coroner's clerk became the jury men at once. They commence operations by look ing very intently into his face, and making mono syllabic remarks, such as " very pale;" " very in deed; " quite cold ;" " a little so-so-ish." The idlers in the meantime draw curiously around and look from the eyes of the dead into the eyes of the jury. Such is the character of death, that those Inte-t accustomed to its presence must respect it. Here, at least, familiarity brceils no contempt. The wound is then regarded, and, as one of the party touches the body, a little blood ripples from the cheek. Perhaps one of the jury makes a pitying noise here with his lips, and ono old woman wipes her eyes with a greasy apron. The little girls—of whom there are three—run away a little diflance, Wit come back directly, in time to hear a joke from one of the officers. The ice being broker, the whole party soon become very merry, and in a few minutes the intelligent jury, havieg had no reason to believe that violenee has been done to the deceased—chiefly because they have sought for eo reason—they go off with the Coroner. In the first place, however, they search pockets of demised and find a brass buckle and an empty pocket-book, with a pawn tioket in the vest. Nobody coming up to claim deceased, deceased is summarily tossed into a cart and buried a half foot reader &ailed at ilia ally; lane. To descend from these generalities to matters specific, we may state that the present Coroner of the city of Philadelphia, Anthony Conrad, RESIIIIIOd the duties of his office on the Ist of November, 1860, being elected for the term of three years. Sines in office, somewhat over fl year ; he has held 'Agnate on nearly eight bundred bodies—th e num bei this year alone, up to the present time, reach ing about seven hundred. Of the number of cases disposed of, the death of 5 largo 1551k51 bas been oauseckby intemperance and exposure._ The Coro ner averages from fifty to sixty cases per month, most of them being persons of foreign birth. The number of deaths where it is necessary that in quests should be held is much greater this year than it has been for some time. The fees of the Coroner amounted, from the first of January to the last of October, to $0,248.75, or within $251 of the amount appropriated by Councils for the entire year; therefore, there will be a deficiency of about $1,200 when the bills for November Dadtthibee are banded in. making the total coat to the city over $7,000. The Coroner is entitled to a fee of four dollars for each inquest held. The jury fee One dollar and fifty cents, for a post-mortem mini- I nation twenty dollars, and six dollars for the burial of an adult. and four dollars for a child. `tome localities are tike so many veins of gold quartz to the Coroner. Bedford street from Sixth to Eighth. Spofford and Baker streets, part of Water street, and certain suburbs where filth, disease, and misery are common, are haunted almost daily- by him. Most physicians refuse to attend patients living in these localities, and hence a person may die from the effects of some common disease, and as the fr iends cannot under these circumstances pro duce a centincato from a doctor, am inquest must be hold, which involves the city in expense. Coroner Conrad has already had a large number of Cases in which parties have died from the small-pox, and where physioianashave positively refused to appear unless paid in advance, and for fear they might carry the disease to some of their more respectable patients. In all such cases, where people die a Coroner's jury must be summoned, which is the only way in which the matter can be treated. In quests are also held in homicide cases, accidental I deaths, suicides, de. In a large number of cases where inquests are held, the Mende of the deceased are too deetituto to bury the body, when it is taken in charge by the Coroner, who has it placed in a neat, white-pine coffin, and deposited in the city burial ground. These grounds, situate on Falls road, above the Lamb Tavern, Twenty-Srst ward, occupy a space of from ten to fifteen acres. The Coroner is allowed one clerk, a physician, and a 11.1.11 w i f h a horse and wagon for the convey ing of bodies to the Green House. Dr. S. Upde grove, a skilful and talented young man, is the physician, whose duty it is to hold Post-mortem ex eminations in homicide cases, and in all other cases where it is deemed absolutely necessary. The clerk keeps a correct and full ducription of all cases acted upon, and a report of the evidence de livered at the inquest, which may ba useful in the future. Six men are selected as a jury, all of whom are sworn before the investigation commences. The dutics of the Coroner are not only unpleasant, but are attended with some danger. As is stated, he is often called into localities where malignant dis eases prevail, and the risk thus run is by no means small, The present Coroner, in the digchargo of his onerous duties, has thus far given general satis faction. A CHAPTER ON CONTRABANDS. The Virginia " contrabands" at Old Point Com fort are housed and fed at the expense of the Go vernment, and lend a very contented life ; but, if we may judge by the statements of a eorrespondent of the National Intelligence)) they are too much engrossed in the enjoyment of the novel sensation of creedal' to give any serious alention to hard labor. The intelligenter's correspondent draws this picture of IM=l Ti is certainly very mousing to observe these con trabands engaged at what, in a measure, has been inisnamed work." In order to transport a bale of hay a distance of from twenty to thirty yards, it takes about eighteen or twenty laborers—men and boy:—who perform the operation somewhere in the neighborhood of` twenty minutes. Pirat, one will give it a turn over, roll his body on it, drop down on his elbows, and have a quiet grin for seve ral seconds. Then it will be passed to the next one. id° Pro - VCS to be a perfect genius in the art of hin t:lo6n ; end so on it goes through the whole gang. At times the gangs will suddenly grow small and beautifully less, in consequence of some of the la borers having decided to mouse themselves a. la fietrian, others having started of on a Post-race, and more resolved en getting up an impromptu circus. Just about this juncture a sergeant may be seen recollecting the scapegoats by dint of a resort to summary expedients and a yery powerful use of his lungs. Not unfrequcnrly Mr. Contraband is made aware of the fact that there is an all-seeing" eye, by having a brick pass his leg with considerable ra pidity at a distance rather too close for personal comfort. When I describe how a bale of hay is unloaded, the description will servo as a very safe criterion by which to judge the manner in which everything else is removed and stored away. It is not unusual to see half a dozen negroes wheeling a handcart—generally with nothing in it ; a coal cart backed up a heap of lumber almost oil the dock, or into souse other cart or wagon, rather than where it is wonted eight or ten ti darkeys " removing a of lumber, while the same number are en gaged in warming their feet or dancing . ajig; little ebonies hurrahing for some notability in the hope of getting a penny from a pasting officer ; Iwo lit tle blacks playing soldier, scampering after a band of music, or throwing dust ; and wenches swagger ing. grinning, and capering by the row - hide, or co quetting with their fellows. The same writer, however, admits that many of the negroos are intelligent and willing. He gives this interesting account of the ADSVRD STORIES TOLD TO SL IVES One party, with which entered into conversation, stattd that their masters had told them that, in the event of their running away, they would be sold to the white female Abolitionists of the North for hus bands and their wenches taken away from them azd tjtte,reived to the men Alsoltilotslsts Per wlvco. On asking one of the party what he thought of such a story, he replied that he had not, as yet, seen any one sold, but that, if such should prove to be a fact, he did riot know but that he couldiive just us well North as south. I conversed with various other parties, both free and bond, and almost all of them were well stored with absurd stories not at all dis similar to the one given above. SLATss WI CiENERAL PLANTATIOZi. General Drayton, one of the rebel commanders, left his plantation and negroes, in South Carolina, at the mercy of our troops at Port Royal. A cor respondent of the Boston fournat, who has oz . plored the place, gives this story about the General's slaves : "Did our shot conic round this way?" asked the doctor of an old negress, the apparent chief of family hutted near by the mansion. vuiTi b uintwartltil li sainea sef de day o' judg ment come, sah !" "And do yon know the reason we beat 'em?" Fureuect the marvel:, " Wha'sdat, soh?" " The Lord was on our side !" ggYah, yah! dat is jes so. sah," responded the dame, in a confidential under tone, and eho ap proached to physician more nearly. MISCHIEVOUS SLAVES Another latter-writer at Port Royal says : if With the exception of two little fellows, I have yet to see one not raised On the plantation from which they came. Although they have been fully instructed that the Yankees would subject them to all kinds of barbarous usage, they have a full belief that their day of liberation has comp. From all that can be learned from them, it would seem that the great terror of the Carolinians is very much in creased by fear of insurrection among the slaves ; and the fear is undoubtedly well grounded, Ms negroes of the far South are More desperate, more ready for any enterprise which promises a change of condition, thaw those of the border States, the contrary opinion which generally prevails to the contrary . notwithstanding. Every sera saki Jsn.s come hither front Virginia is a mzssionary 'mischief to the slave-owner. The slaves here are more ignorant than those of Virginia. Kentucky, and Missouri, believe that the Federal Government proposes to do exactly what Mr. Phillips, Mr, Bird, General Butler, and Mr. Blair think it ought to do—just what, a year since, the ' conservative press' was predicting Mr. Lincoln's Administration would do." CONTRABAND CAPACITY A liberal view of the intellectual capacity of the slaves is given by a writer in the Burlington O'er mont).Free Press, who says! I see that a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, in giving some account of the slaves at Port Royal, and noticing their knowledge Of subjects pertaining to the war, says that he asked one how he got his infortnation, as he could not read, and the negro replied : Yes. were can't read ; but were can count, inass'r west) has to count in pickin cotton. This reminded me of some facts whieh interested me very womb, white residieit la a cotton State some few years ago, which, I think, may interest your readers at this time, not only by explaining the statements of the correspondent of the Even/ 116 , - Post t but also as showing the capacity yr the negro when his mind is stimulated by exor cise. If he has been supposed deficient in any thing; it, is in the direction of logical or rigid eaten and mathematical processes. I lived in the family of a cotton planter who worked from fifteen to twenty hands. lie em ployed no overseer. During the planting season he gave his personal attention to the field-work of his stares, but during the rest of the season contented himself with inspecting their week Mice a Week, or the like, and carefully questioning them at night as to their work during the day. This he common ly did through one of the older and more trust worthy slaves, whose name was Allan, Cotton plotting lasts some three months, the hands going, over the field once a week. and oftener, if possible, so as to gather the contents of the freshly-opened bolls before it is bleached by the sun, Or soiled by the rain. Aly host entrusted the weighing to Allen, wha was rtquired to report at night the amount picked by etch man. Allan just weighed with the com mon steelyards each one's basket, and the picker must use the same basket through the season. This weight of the basket Allan recorded in his memory. At noon all came up to the ' gin house ' to empty their baskets, and Allan weighed each one's basketful, subtracted the weight of the buskob, and Set tho amount of cotton against the negro's name—all in his memory, for he could not make a figure, nor read it if made, with a pen. This work was repeated for the afternoon's pick ing. and the sums added together for each picking. " When the negroes earn° up at dark, the drat thing was to attend to their own little household cares and get their suppers. Then Allan called at the door of his master, sometimes at the window, and reported the amount of cotton picked by each Laud during the day. As my Eedago„, ,, uestdp made it usual for me to be at my talc in the evening, with pen, ink, and paper before me, my host used to ask the to take down Allan's numbers. This I regularly for tViO years, And though I sub jected Allan to the severest tests I could think of to he assured of his aceuracy, I never found a single ()cession to doubt it. Allan's pleasant voice at the window near my table, so often repeated, Take the sot Lai now, if you plonae,trumer,' is ono of tho enact distinct remembrances of my Southern home." Departure of the Wyandotte. On Friday morning the U. S. steamer lirpa»dong sailed from New York, with galling orders to pro ceed to Port Royal and report to Coin. Dupont, commanding South Atlantic blockading squadron. WE PHU a list of the 4ifig9ll Pegtenant com manding, H. M. AloArann Routenttet and execu tive Officer, C. N. Seboonmaker; acting masters, Id. L.

The Secretary of War, in his recent report, made the following important proposition : " The geographical position of the metropolis of the nation, menaced by the rebels, and required to be defended by thousands of our troops, induced me to suggest for consideration the propriety and expedienoy of a reconstruction of the boun daries of the States of Delaware. Maryland, and Wisdom and true etateemenship would dietato that the seat of the National tin vernment, for all time to come, should be placed beyond reasonable danger of seizure by enemies within, as well as front capture by fees from without. By agreement between the gta+esnernerl, such as was, effected for similar purposes, by Michi gun and Ohio, and by Missouri and lowa, their boundaries could be so changed as to render the capital tHAP6 remote than at present from the in fluence of State Governments which have arrayed themselves . in rebellion against the Federal au thorities. f , To this end the limits of Virginia :night 'ha sa altered as to make her boundaries consist of the Blue Ridge on the cast, and Pennsylvania on the north, leaving these on the south and west as at present. .By this arrangement two counties of Maryland (Allegheny and Washington) would be transferred to the jurisdiction of Virginia. All that portion of Virginia which lies between the Blue Ridge and Chesapeake bay could then be ad ded to Maryland, while that portion of the pe ninsula between the water., of the Chesapeake and the Atlantic, now jointly held by Maryland and Virginia, could he incorporated into the State of Delaware." Tho Blue llidan is now the eastern boundary of Kanawha (Western Virginia.) and the two Mary land counties of Allegheny end Washington, now lying between Pennsylvania acid Virginia, are to be added to the now State. so as to run the territory straight to the l'onnsyi - Canta lino. But, as a recom pense to Maryland fur this cession of territory, that State is to have its territory extended westward throughout Eastern Virginia till it meets the Blue Ridge, which is proposed as its western boundary. This will enlarge Maryland into a populous State, which will include Norfolk, Fredericksburg, Pe tersburg, Richmond, and all the tobacco growing region. Delaware is also to coma in for a share of the rebel States, and is to hare the two peninsular counties of ACCOMIC and Northampton, now in pos session of our troops.
