PULPIT SKETCH.
Rev. George F. Krotel
BY GRAYBEARD.
The Rev. George F. Krotel is the newly installed
pastor of St. Mark's (Lutheran) Church, Spring
Garden street, above Thirteenth, lately in charge
of the Rev. Dr. Krauth, now editor of The LTL"
theran and .211i.sionary. Immediately upon hear
ing Mr. Krotel's ,4 trial sermon" the congregation
of St. Mark's were unanimous in their preferences
for him to become their pastor, although it was not
until after repeated and persistent solicitation that
ho consented to leave the congregation of Trinity
Church, in the city of Lancaster, the largest con
nected with the Lutheran Synod in this State out
side of Philadelphia, to which a ministry of several
years had bound him with mutual affeetten,
Since entering upon his pastoral duties in this
city the expectations of his new charge are said to
have been fully realized. His congregation is in
creasing from week to week, and each succeeding
sermon seems to confutes his people in their good
opinion of him as a faithful and consistent minis
ter. If we may judge from a single hearing, this
confidence in Mr. Krotel is net misplaced. His
every action, word, look, and intonation indicate
him as a man of sincere piety, and devotion to his
calling, and to that alone. This, in these times
of pulpit deterioration—when fame is frequently
Sought by clergymen in fields foreign to the minis
terial office—is a quality of priceless value. A very
brilliant man Mr. Krotel is not, although he pos
sesses more than average pulpit ability, and is un
questionably a sterling preacher, who breaks the
Bread of Life in good, sound, orthodox style. His
manner in the pulpit is that blending of humility
and dignity which hest becomes the sacred desk,
and he delivers his message with a quiet earnest
ness that inspires respect. His temperament is
nervous-biliose., combining activity with power.
His physique, however, manifestly suffers from the
effects of undue mental effort and want of oxygen.
A free indulgence in pure air and out-door exer
ciSe would add cubits to his mental stature, or, if
snore convenient, let him improvise a home gym
nasium. He is of medium stature, rather youth
ful in appearance, has a large head, high, narrow,
and long, indicative of a pure, elevated character,
and a One intuitive perception into men and things
rather than great intellectual scope. His com
plexion is sallow, his eye deep and unexpressive.
His voice is full and sonorous, though not unmusi
cal. While speaking he seems absorbed in his
topic, gesticulates but little, does not employ any
facial power if he possesses it, although, at an oc
casional thought, his eye dilates sufficiently to dis
close its color and fire; but instead of employing it
magnetically to kindle the hearts of his audience,
he commits the too common pulpit error of looking
vaguely towards some point upon the wall or ceil
ing.
Hie subject on last Sunday morning was the
Centurion of Capon:arm, a theme admitting
more of sound Gospel interpretation than of start
ling originality. The words upon which the dis
course was funded are contained in Mat. viii,
5-13. To afford a clearer idea of Mr. Krotel's
analysis of it, we give the passage entire :
"And when Jesus was entered into espernaum,
there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of
the palsy, grievously tormented. And'Jesus saith
unto bins, I will come and heal him. The centu
rion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I
am a man under authority, having soldiers under
me and I any to this man, Go, and he gosth ; and
to another, Come, and lie oometh ; and to my ser
vant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard
it, Be marvelled, and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.
"And I say unto you, That many shall come
from the east and west, and shall sit down with
A6%11.1.121, end Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of
heaven but the children of the kingdom shall be
cast out into outer darkness : there shall be weep
ing and gnashing of teeth.
"And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy
way ; and as thou host believed, so be it done unto
thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour."
The narrative of this event in the sacred volume,
said the preacher, was intended to place before us
an example of Love, Humility, and Faith.
First, then, this record of the Centurion claimed
our admiration as an example of Love. We must
not think that because he was a heathen—a Roman
soldier—that he was void of gentleness, amiability,
and love. It was, doubtless, tree that his natural
disposition had been materially influenced by the
truths of the Old Testament before this interview
with the Saviour, although there was no positive
evidence of his having been a proselyte to Judaism.
Though, if not the latter, he had evidently not beea
a scoffer ; he bad loved the truth. " lie level!, our
nation, and hath built us a synagog ue ," was the
testimony of the Jews with regar d this man, as
recorded by the evangelist Luke. This testimony,
the preacher said, was significant, when we consider
that the Jewish at that day was not the most lorea
fi
eMICI not gone to J esus on his Mid behalf, but
for the relief of his "servant." For all we know
to the contrary. it might have been his slave,
and
we must remember that Roman slaves had not been
treated with uniform kindness by their masters.
Yet this Centurion came down from his high position
to seek at the Saviour's hands relief for his servant.
The second characteristic of the Cen urion con
sidered was. his Humility. As a Roman citizen
he had, doubtless, been proud of his nationality ;
even as we bad once been justly proud of ours, and,
parenthetically, he hoped that the day was not far
distant when the name, "An American Citizen,"
shall again, be the proudest title a man can boast
among the nations of the earth.
It meat be borne in mind, also, that this Centu
rion was not only a Roman citizen, but an officer—
a commander. Of course, the higher the grade
the more dignified the position. The post he filled
could be inferred from the fact that he was accus
tomed to be implicitly obeyed. To quote his own
Weeds, "h 0 said to this man, GO, and he Went, and
to another, Come, and be came, and to his servant,
Do this, and he did it."
Ile had undoubtedly been the commander of the
garrison at Capertmum, every man among whom
was a conqueror, and he was the commander of
them all. Yet, notwithstanding this dignity, how
had he acted ? Ile had not sent an order for Jesus
Christ to came to his quarters; nor even when he
went to the Saviour, had he invited him to his man
sion, as though he would be thereby honoring
Jesus Not ut all ;he had first sent the elders of
The Jews, who said to the Master concerning this
centurion. that "he was worthy," and that "ho
had built for them a synagogue," &e. The Lord
at once set out for the soldier's house, but was met
on his way by friends of his prospective benefteialre
with the message from the latter, " Trouble not thy
self, for lam not worthy that thou Slit/tilt/St enter
under my roof, neither thought I myself worthy to
come unto thee, but say in a word, and my servant
shall be healed." These were beautiful words tru
ly, spoken by a Roman commander in acknowledg
ment of his unworthiness to receive the Lord's
bounty.
Finally. the Evith of the Centurion was consi
dered. Ile bad, no doubt, previously heard of the
Lord Jesus, and through that channel received
faith in his power, as faith came by hearing, and
hearing by the Word of God. And as the region of
Comtism had been much frequented by the
Saviour, he had no doubt heard him for himself,
and witnessed some of his miracles. He had else
probably heard in the synagogues of " the Great
Deliverer" who was to come, and witnessing the
evidences of Christ's Messiahship, his mind was
turned to him for the relief of his afflicted and suf
fering servant. Thus assured, he made his appeal,
" Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented." The herd's instant reply
to this was, " I will come and heal him.'
Now one of the strong indications of the Centu
rion's faith was seen in this. He had never yet
beard of the Saviour's having exercised his miracu
lous power away from his immediate presence.
Yet, with the most implicit confidence that Jesus is
able for this, he insists that it is quite unnecessary
for the Lord to touch his servant, or even approach
him, to effect a cure; all he - asked' was, for the
Lord of Life tos peak the word. And then, also,
his mode of arguing his reason for this faith was
most beautiful. Re had reasoned from the less to
the greeter, using the words of the text, eam.
menciug " I am a man under authority," kc., the
preacher paraphrasing the entire passage in a man.
ner at once intelligible and interesting, and making
a vivid commentary upon the beauty and significance
of the narrative. The language of the Centurion, he
said, was en acknowledgment that the Saviour had
all power at his command and disposal. At this,
the Saviour expressed surprise. There were but
two instances in the Gospel of the Lord's having
exhibited surprise, and this was one of them ; the
other had been, that the people of his own city,
Nazareth, bad manifested unbelief. His language
was, " I have not found such faith, (such a tri
bute to my glery—nor anything like it,) no, not
in Israel—among the people from whom I had
every right to expect it.' His answer to the sup
plicant was characteristic : "Go thy way, and as
thou Last believed, so be it done unto thee." The
Centurion had gone away believing, and the record
was, that " his servant was healed in the self-same
hoar."
In conclusion the preacher said that it was espe
cially in this latter particular that the Centurion of
Cepernaum was held up for our emulation. In all
our ailments', therefore, whether of soul or body,
it was our duty, like that faithful one of old, to go
to Jesus for relief. We knew that He had all
power in heaven and on earth. We linen, also,
upon the testimony of Clod's word, and the expe
rience of eighteen centuries, that there was no af
fliction that his people are heir to that He is not
able and willing to remove, and he assured his
hearers that the more they took Christ at his word,
by trusting in Him with unwavering faith, yet with
that humility which, with the Centurion, admits
unworthines to receive, the more full and com
plete would be their experience of his bounteous
love. The Christian who thought he had no sin
was deceived, and could not offer the Lord's
Prayer in sincerity, which the preacher held to be
the daily duty of all true believers. Christ, it was
known, bad not done many mighty works in his
own city, because of the unbelief of the people;
and for the same reason Christ could not do many
mighty works in some of our congregations, and in
many professedly Christian hearts. His closing
appeal was for all who are weary and heavy-laden,
or who are in trouble of any kind, to go to Christ
in faith.

THE DEFENCES OF THE CITY.
REPORT OF BRIO. (*ENROLL PLEASONTOII
THE HOME GUARD ORGANIZATION.
The following is Brigadier General Pleasanton's
first annual report of the —operations of the Com
mittee on Defenoe and Protection of the Cityrof
which he is chairman. The report is an appendix
to Mayor Henry's message:
HEADQUARTERS HOME GUARD,
CITY OP PRILADELPIITA, Jan. 13, 1862.
To the Eon. ALEXANDER HENRY, Mayor of the
City of Philadelphia:
Dean SIR : In compliance with your request of
the 9th instant, to be furnished " with such in
formation relative to the proceedings and expendi
tures of the Committee on Defence during the past
year as may, with propriety, be appended to your
'my] annual message to the City Councils," I have
the honor to make the following report—viz :
The assault u pon Fort Sumpter and its subse
quent capture, in April last, awakened the loyal
people of the North from their political lethargy,
and disclosed to them the fact that rebellion was a
reality, and not a menace.
The President of the United States issued his
proclamation on the 15th of April, calling into
activity 75,000 volunteers; and thereupon the
Governor of Pennsylvania ordered ihto service,
among others, Major General Patterson and the
volunteer regiments of the First division of Penn
sylvania militia. This requisition stripped Phila.
delphia of its organized military force ; and the
sense of insecurity which the departure of the troops
of the First division aroused prompted the munici
pal authorities to encourage and direct the imme
diate organization of a special military force that
would be adequate to the protection of the city,
and that should not be liable to be withdrawn from
it except for its own defence upon any of the ap
proaches thereto.
ORGANIZATION OF HOME GUARD.
On the 20th of April, 1861, I was honored and
duly commissioned by you under the authority of
an ordinance of Councils as the commander of the
Home Guard of the city of Philadelphia, and was
authorized " forthwith to organize, under the di
rection of the Mayor, a force, to be composed of
the residents of Philadelphia, for cavalry, artillery,
'lnfantry, and light infantry service."
The Councils of the city, by an ordinance for the
protection and defence of the city, approved April
19, 1861, had appointed a committee of five mem
bers from each Chamber to assist the Mayor in car
rying out the provisions of that ordinance, and by
supplements thereto, have invested the said joint
select committee with plenary powers to effectuate
the objects of their appointment.
On the 16th May, 1861, the Governor approved
" a bill relating to the Home Guard, of the city of
Philadelphia," which had been enacted by the Le
gislature of the Stateott its extra session, dele
gating to the Councils of Philadelphia "the high
legislative prerogative to create and organize a
Rome Guard, which shall consist of such com
panies and regiments of volunteer soldiers as are
now, or maybe, organized for the defence of the said
city, provided the same shall not exceed ten thou
sand men."
This power granted to the Councils was ac
cepted by them in a " further supplement to an
ordinance to provide for the defence and protection
of the city," approved April 19, 1801, which
was approved May 23, 1861, and the Home Guard,
organized under the provisions of that ordinance,
was ordained by them to be the Home Guard which
the Councils of Philadelphia are empowered to
create and organize by the act of the General As
sembly relating thereto, approved May 16, 1801.
The accompanying report, marked A, exhibits
the plan of organization as the samo has been
adopted.
The great deficiency of ordnance, arms, equip
ments, and munitions of war, not merely in this
State, but also in the Government arsenals, im
posed upon the Committee of Defence the urgent
necessity of an immediate supply thereof by pur
chase.
ROME GUARD PROVIDED WITH. BIUSKETS.
Inquiries and applications were made every
where throughout the Northern States, and in
Canada and New Brunswick, and communications
were also had with several countries in Europe,
with a view to procure them; but, as much time
was consumed in these researches, application was
made to the Secretary of War for a loan of 5,000
Government muskets until the city could obtain by
purchase the required number. The request was
promptly granted, and that number of arras was
placed in the Arsenal at lorankford, subject to the
order of the Mayor, Only 3 i Boo of these muskets,
however, were drawn from the Arsenal by the
Mayor, and were used by the Home Guard until a
demand for their return to the Government was
made by the Chief of Ordnance on the 9th of Octo
ber last; since which time the greater part of them
has been sent back to the Frankford Arsenal, and
the remainder of them is now in the course of• col
lection for the same purpose.
In the meantime, the Committee of Defence was
industriously occupied in procuring the necessary
information in regard to prices, qualities, and pat
terns of arms and equipments. The great demand
for antis existing simultaneously in all the States,
enhanced their prices—and to secure arms at all
it became necessary to purchase them of different
patterns; by which the city has become the owner
of smooth-bored and rifled Prussian muskets, Eng
lish Enfield rifles, with sabre and triangular bayo
nets, and muskets of United States patterns.
These arms have all been subjected to a rigorous
ULU" VW Ole puinuasett fly tne
city, and are serviceable weapons. The principal
inconvenience that will attend a difference of pat
terns and bores in these small arms, will be in the
preparation of various kinds of ammunition for
them, and the risk of confusion in its issue, if they
should be required in action.
CANNON IN POSSESSION OF CITY.
Two batteries of Parrott's rifled cannon, each of
six guns, have been purchased by the committee;
one battery being of 10. pounders, the other of 20-
pounders. Both of these batteries can take the field
at once.
There are also two cast-steel Rrnssian rifled guns,
which were presented to the city ~ by Mr. James
Swaim; gun carriages and caissons for which have
been bought by the committee.
Air. I. McHenry, of Liverpool, has also gene
rously presented to the city a cast-steel rifled gun
of the Blakely pattern, the carriage and caisson
for which Mr. Henry Simon has patriotically ten
dered as u gift to the city.
These last mentioned guns will require harness
for their horses, and ammunition to be specially
prepared for them. Accompanying is a statement
by the committee of their expenditures for the
year 1861.
NUMBER OF MEN IN ROME GUARD
On the 4th of July last there were enrolled In
the Home Guard some 5,000 men, about one half of
the full number contemplated by the act of As
sembly.
• • •
The mustering of rcginunita for Active service in
the field has interfered greatly with the enrolment
of men for the home Guard, in two ways—viz :
First. By their natural preference for active ser
vice ; second, by the inducements held out to in
structed members of the Home Guard to be dis
charged from it, and to enter into active service.
By this latter mode, the Homo Guard has lost some
two thousand men who have left it to serve in the
field, in various capacities, from colonels 'of regi
ments to lieutenants of companies; illustrating,.
however, in the clearest manner, the great value of
the Home Guard as a school of instruction prepara
tory to active service.
While this almiaullon or the Home Guard, how
ever, has been in progress, a compensating addition
to it innew members has accompanied it ; and, at
the present time, there are some 4,000 enrolled men
in its ranks, organized into three regiments of in
fantry of the line, two battalions of rifles, three com
panies of artillery, and one squadron of cavalry.
IIOIIN GUARD IN VOLUNTEER. SERVICE
In August last, when much anxiety was felt for
the safety, of "Washington city, the Governor called
upon me for information of the number of troops I
could detach from the Home Guard for service
there. On assembling the officers, to ascertain the
number, the response was patriotic, and that all
would go. A tender of immediate service for three
months of one regiment of infantry, one battalion
of rifles, one squadron of cavalry, and one company
of artillery, together numbering fifteen hundred
men, was,however, deemed sufficient for the emer
gency, and was accordingly made to the Govern
ment, but the Secretary of War declined their ser
vices for so short a period of time. ""
EFFICIENCY OF HOME GUARD
The Home Guard to be efficient, should be fre
quently drilled in squadrons,
batteries, battalions,
and evolutions of the line. For these instructions
there is no suitable around at the command of this
force. I respectfully recommend, therefore, that a
prpper drill ground for such purposes be placed by
the city under the controlof the commander of the
Home Guard.
There should also be adequate inducements held
out to the members of this forte to attend punctu
ally at all drills for instruction in their military
duties. At present these men can ill afford to de
vote half a day once or twice a week to these du
ties, thereby sacrificing their time or their wages,
in preparing themselves to protect lives or properV
in which they have no immediate interest; while
the persons or property so protected contribute
neither personal aervice nor pecuniary moans to
their own or to its security.
This is a subject very suggestive, and which can
not be too soon considered and satisfactorily ar
ranged. The population of the city of Philadel
phia may be estimated at 600,000 persons, of which
one-fifth is capable of bearing arms, being 120,000
men. Of these, 20,000 are either now in tla army
or temporarily absent, leaving 90,000 men fit for mi
litary duty.
The assessed value of real estate and of various
kinds of personal property within the city for the
year 1862 is represented from official returns ; as
follows—viz
Reel estate, ,$152,604.600 ; moneys at interest,
$12,005,879 ; furniture, $1,784,130 ; horses, S4OT,-
323 ; carriages, $231.430; emoluments of office,
$60,400 ; watches, $3,437; personal, $27,459.50 ;
exempt, slo,B79,lo2—amounting together to one
hundred and seventy-eight millions one hundred
and forty-three thousand seven hundred and sixty
six dollars and fifty cent*, ($179,143,7110.50.) The
banking capital amounts to some twelve millions
more, while the annual products of the industry
of this population are of Infinite value to the city,
State. and to the General Government.
The simple question now is, so to organize as many
of these 110,000 men, instruct and discipline them
as to insure the safety of the remaining population
of 570,000, and this aggregate property of hun
dreds of millions of dollars. To do this, it will
cost some money, but not to do it will cost a thou
sand times more. This city is, accessible both by
the river and by the land, and without preparation
for resistance it invites invasion, which, if this war
should last throughout the present year, is almost
sure to come.
LOCAL ASPECT OF TILE TRENT TROUBLE
The imbroglio with the British Government ari
sing out of the capture of Messrs. Mason and Sli
den, attracted the attention of the Committee of
Defence to the exposed condition of this city to the
risks of a naval attack by a hostile maritime Power ;
and they appointed a sub-committee of their body,
consisting of Messrs. L P. Wetherill, Henry Davis.
and George W. Simmons,
to accompany me to
Waehington to confer with the Government of the
United states on the subject of the defences of the
Delaware river and bay. An invitation was ex
tended to Messrs. S. V. Merrick and Tatham, mem
bers of a committee of the Board of Trade of this
city, charged with a similar duty, to unite their
opplicall,Ai with that of the Committee of Defence.
The two committees were combined, and visited
Washington, where they had conferences with the
Secretaries of War and of the Navy, and with
Generals Totten and Ripley of the Engineer and
Ordnance Departments of the army on the,cubjects
of their mi_esion.
MI Of these officers manifested an interest in the
defences of Philadelphia, but lamented their Ina-
bility to do anything further in the matter without
additional appropriations of money by Congress.
They, however, concurred in the suggestions ex
pressed by the committee, that steam floating iron
clad vessels, heavily armed, should be combined
with thi permanent fortifications now on the river,
and with others to be constructed, for the complete
defence of the river and bay—and they approved
offian application to be made to Congress by the
committee for appropriations for these objects.
These interviews having occurred during the
Christmas holidays, when Congress was not trans
acting business, the committees returned to Phila
delphia, having previously delegated to me, as
their chairman, the duty of making the required
application to Congress
DIVER DEFENCES OF THE CITY.
This was accordingly done on the 2cl instant, by
a bill introduced at my request, by the Hon. Wil
liam D. Kelley into the House of Representatives,
entitled " a bill for the cicieflOo of the City of Phi
the River Delaware, and the Harbor of
Refuge at the Delaware Breakwater."
This bill was duly referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs, who have it yet under considera
tion.
Accompanying, marked C, are a copy of this bill,
and a copy of the correspondence that I have held
in relation to it, with the Engineer Department,
and the lion. William D. Kelley..
INLAND BECONNOISSANCE
In the early part of last summer, I recommended
that a military reconnoissance of the country lying
west and south of the city, bounded by the valley
of the Susquehanna river from its junction with
the Juniata river—the Eastern shore of the
Chesapeake bay as far as the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal—along that eanal to the
Delaware river, and thence up to this city—should
be made with a view to the greater security and
protection of Philadelphia. In September last,
the Committee on Defence adopted the recommen
dation, and the Mayor was requested to have it
made. This reoonnoimance, under the direction of
the Mayor, has been made by Col. C. M. Eakin, of
the Reserve Brigade, a distinguished scientific offi
cer, a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at
West Point, and whose long service with the corps
of U. S. Topographical Engineers, and on the
Coast Survey, peculiarly fitted him for this duty.
Col. Eakin was assisted therein by Capt. Strick
land KDOH£B, assistant engineer of the Rome Guard,
Mr. John A. Sheaff, and others. His report has boon
submitted to me, and is a most valuable oontribu
tion to our topographical descriptions of the vicinity
of Philadelphia.
The maps explanatory of the reconnoissance are
in the process of execution, in the office of the City
Surveyor, and should be completed with the least
possible delay. A letter from Colonel Eakin, in re
lation thereto, is submitted herewith, in copy
marked D.
PENNSYLVANIA AND VIRGINIA.
In examining the subject of home defence, we
must attentively consider the circumstances in
which we are placed, and prominent among these
is that of neighborhood ; and, whether hostile or
friendly, powerful or feeble, our nearest hostile
neighbor is Virginia, whose Governor (Latches), in
his message to the Legislature ' at Richmond, in
December last announced that Virginia at that
time had seventy thousand men, with three hundred
and fifteen pieces of field artillery in service, not
computing five batteries of six-pounder guns and
several thousand muskets which she had sent to
Tennessee; three thousand muskets to Maryland;
two rifled cannon and five hundred muskets to Mis
souri, and other thousands of muskets, with heavy
ordnance and ammunition, captured at Norfolk and
sent to various Southern States for their aett-coast
and river defence.
These arms are, therefore, exclusive of the 2,500
heavy ships' guns, with the armament of five large
ships•of--war. also captured at Norfolk ; and of the
enormous deposit of naval munitions and stores of
every kind contained in the magazines, at that naval
depot, at the time of its capture.
On our northern frontier lies Canada, which,
though not at this time hostile, can scarcely be
called friendly; and, although she is not powerful
in herself, yet the immense military and naval re
sources of Great Britain, upon which she could
draw, would make her a very formidable enemy.
TOTAL ARMS IN STATE AND CITY
The Governor of Pennsylvania, in his recent
message to the Legislature, reports that Pennsylva
nia has now on hand 62 pieces of artillery, of which
17 need repairs, leaving 45 cannon for the defence
of the State.
She has 26,753 muskets and rifles, 1,906 sabres
and swords, 1,981 pistols, and a large' amount of
accoutrements and ammunition at Harrisburg.
The city of Philadelphia has, moreover, 6 Parrott
rifled ten-pounder guns, and 6: Parrott rifled twen
ty-pounder guns; 2 cast-steel Prussian rifled six
pounder guns, and one English east-stool six
pounder rifled gun, and 2 twelve-pounder howitzers
of the Dahlgren pattern—making together 17 can
non. She has also 4.976 muskets and rifles, 440
sabres, 326 pistols, with a small supply of ammuni
tion, and infantry and rifle accoutrements for 6,000
men.
The total of artillery in the State, now service
able, is 62 field-pieces, but no siege, nor garrison,
nor sen•aoast guns. howitzers, or mortars of large
size.
The forts on and in the Delaware river are not
yet armed, and the harbor at the Breakwater is
open alike to friend or foe.
SITAIMARI OF DEFENSIVE RESOURCES
The State has in service 83,517 men, and 1.6,038
more are preparing for it, making in all 109,038
men. The Adjutant General of New York offi
cially reports that New York has on hand in ser
vice with her troops, 7 nine pounders, 70 six-pound
ers, 1 twenty-four-pounder howitzer, 8 twelve
pounder howitzers 15 zneunta:ba howitiara. al&
hues, i.tur m
percusiion res, 5u2 artillery gabres,
666 swords, 1,505 non-commissioned officers'
swords, 926 cavalry sabres, 171 carbines; leaving
in the State 106 six-pounder guns, 10 twenty
pounder Parrott guns, 18 ten-pounder Parrott guns,
13,149 percussion muskets, 324 flint muskets, 45
flint rifles, 5,924 percussion rifles, with a few sabres
and swords. The Adjutant General a cw York
claims to have in service 120,000 men.
Pennsylvania and New York united have only
396 pieces of field artillery, and no siege, garrison,
or sea-coast guns, heavy howitzers or mortars.
OUI DEFENCELESS POSITION
While Virginia, alone, has nearly twice as many
field pieces, with much of the plunder of the Nor.
folk Navy Yard, and her towns and rivers well
covered with entrenchments armed with the hea
viest .batteries, almost every seaport town with
20.006 inhabitants,
from Maine to the Rio Grande,
is better defended in its approaches from the sea
than is the city of Philadelphia. Whoever may be
responsible for this destitution, the question arises,
shall this defenceless condition of our city con
tinue? Will you trust to the forbearance of Euro
pean Governments not to intervene in our affairs,
when the most overpowering commercial necessities
urge them to it ?
spill you rely upon your present miserable arma
ment, which an active campaign of three months
might damage or destroy, leaving you unable to
arm.the thousands of your gallant sons who would
rush to your succor? Will you reckon upon aid
from other friendly States, which will be fatly °c
oupled with their own affairs when you might used
their assistance ?
If this is to be the policy of the city and State,
there will be no sympathy anywhere for their peo
ple, when the ruin and desolation which will cer
tainly follow it, shall be upon them.
I bare thus, as concisely as possible, exhibited
the proceedings of the Joint Select Committee of
Councils on the Defence and Protection of the City,
and the progress that has been made in the organi
zation of the Home Guard.
Though much has been done, mere remains to do,
and while I accord to the committee great praise for
what they have done, reeognizin,q fully their um
wearied patience, their desire to be fully informed
of whatever was best adapted for the defence of the
city, and their readiness to apply it ; their anxiety
in all their contracts to protect the public interests,
and to prevent a misapplication or a waste of the
public money ; and, while my personal relations
with each and all of them have been to me of the most
cordial sad agreeable kind, I desire to impreOs upon
them, upon the Council., and upon your Honor, as
the chief magistrate of this great city, a full con
sciousness of the. great responsibility which will rest
upon you all, if this present state of helplessness
and feebleness, and want of preparation for defence,
shall continue to exist. and any disaster to the city
should result therefrom.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, A J. PLEA.SONTON,
Brig. Gen. Com. Home Guard.
