DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA,
Special Correspondence of The Press.
FORTRESS MONROE, June ii, 18fra
The various steamboats and ~tugs, which are con-.
stantly skimming back and forth through Hatiipton
- Bomb, remind a Philadelphian of his liffhse upon
the banks of the Delaware. New York, with usual
self-complacency, takes the credit of floating on
American waters the best and fadtest side-wheel
steamers, but they are Strangely silent as to proPel
lere. I hardly think they would doubt the superi
ority of Philadelphia to that peculiar sort of motive
power. Nearly all the beautiful, jauhty, little tugs,
which dash like swallows over the waters around
Fortress Monroe, and in the Elizabeth river, came
from the Delaware. Every one looks withwonder
and admiration on them, as with laborious breath
they steadily carry by their side vessels of enor
mous size. The officers on board the English
litigates confess they, never saw one on the
Thames, and that they were astonished whee,
for the that time, they beheld one of the lit
tle Titans, in the harbor at. Havana, with the
name of the Philadelphia cbuilder, in gilt letters,
upon the stern, All are under the supervision and
command of one Man, Captain Ainsworth, They
work- harmoniously, and accomplish wonders. In,
fair weather and foul you will see the imperturba
ble, good.natured Captain 'on the wharf, listening
with a grave face to the wants of some petulant
pistol, who wears his new-born honors gaudily on
his shoulders, Or ordering some tug to convey a
drunken officer to his ship. Captain Harrington, of
the E. A. Souder, has a_ peculiar:tenderness for his

The name of the Great Dismal Swamp ideas . &-
feeling of ill-defined dread and horror in the breasts
of those who have become acquainted with its soft
and slimy labyrinths only through the refractory
medium of romance. It is impossible to conceive of
any one but a black, herculean, enthusiastic Dred
who could exist amid the noxious miasmas, of the
Great Dismal Swamp. They believe a man who
attempts to live beneath the shade of these upas-like
trees is sure as destiny of certain death. Yet this
Great Dismal Swamp is actually healthy—is occu
pied by our soldiers, and is pronounced salubrious
by our surgeons. The Yi7th Pennsylvania regiment
went there with almost two hundred on the sick list,
and now they have scarcely two dozen. This is mira
culous, when we consider how they have to contend
against frogs, snakes, lizzards, and Wood-ticks, The
Salt Sulphur Springs of Magnolia were a favorite
resort of the creme de la creme .of Virginia and
North Carolina; yet this — beautiful water
ing place is almost upon the margin of what I
would call the northwest lobe of the swamp, on the
road leading from Suffolk to Portsmouth. Juniper
water alone can be found in the depth of this waste.
It is of a light claret color, and very wholesome.
A few days ago two companies of infantry, under
command of Lieutenant Colonel Brady, of the 177th
- pennsylvania Regiment, went on a barge through
Dismal-Swamp canal, in quest of guerillas. At one
place they found a Union man in great distress
about a large amount of corn he had on hand, and
which the guerillas would not allow him to remove
within our lines. The visit of our boys proved very
opportune. They captured two schooners laden
with corn, which they brought to Norfolk with them.
Another expedition started to day for corn, which is
supposed , to be in the neighborhood of Hickory
Grounds, about twenty-fivemiles south of Norfolk.
Every day something is captured; the rebels are
harassed, and even now are disgusted with their
egregious folly.
The flag-of-truce steamer State of 'Maine, Captain
John Mulford commandiag, departed for City Point
this morning, with three hundred rebel prisoners
and eleven civilians.
.. General Dix and staff have returned from their
excursion up the York river.. The Army of Vie
ginia have long peen inactive, whether on account
of there being no enemies to encounter, or-the usual
disparity of numbers, I cannot tell. Better weather
could not be for hostilities and whenever the;people
demaed active operations on the pertinsuia, it may
be deemed prudent to insthgurate different proceed-
Again we have rumors from Suffolk. Two pick
ets were reported shot last night, about ftve miles
from that place, and the, two brigades of infantry,
&e., are still coming., It was ourrently rumored
some time ago, that Suffolk was to be evaouated, ,
but there is as yet no'foundation for the presuarg
tion.

seemed entirely taken by surprise, and sb silently ,
were our men embarked, that their picket of . - six
cavalrymen did not discover our designs Until the
canvas boats had reached the middle of - the stream.
We were then ordered by the rebels -to
which injunction our men seemed to consider "a
very good joke, replying, good-naturedly, that - they
were bound to cross, telling the rebel picket to " dry
up," "simmer down," &c. Three shots were
then fired at the boats, neither of which took effect,
and several of our men answered the salute, killing
one man, who was immediately, carried off by his
comrades, who beat a hasty - retreat' as our boats
neared'the shore. Two boat loads were landed, and
immediately commenced reconnoitring on the other
side, but found no rebels. The first to cross in the
boate - were pdrtions of the 4th Michigan,`6ist New
York, and sth Maine Regiments. The remainder of
our forces, in all- perhaps a division, afterward
forded the river.
The manner of crossing is worthy of particular at
tention, as this was the firat practical experiment
ever made in the army with canvas boats. The can-
VAS boats differ from the ordinary pontoon in being
a framework simply, over which heavy canvas
is laatened, and through which water "cannot
penetrate. One boat carries twenty men, and is
easily managed by a few oarsmen. Lieutenant
Farrell, of the 16th .New York, with a detach
ment of twenty-five men, and two 'wagons, on.
which the framework of the boats was transported,
left camp at eight o'clock, on Sunday night,
reaching the vicinity,of the ford on Monday . , at ten
o'clock A. M. The boats were' constructed vrithin
four hundred yards of the river,:and beside a stream
leading into it. Yesterday morning at , 2,.;‘ o'clock
the boats were launched in the. creek, and so silently
was everything conducted that we were in the centre
of the stream before the rebels discovered the boats.
The boats easily transported, and, when packed
on wagons, give no idea of. their. particular:purpoae.
Heavy firing was heard yesterday morning far up
the river, opposite Ranpahannealt Station, near
which point another force, composed of cavalry, and
artillery, is believed to have crossed. - The 'cannon
ading is thought fo have been our artillery recon
noitering in that vicinity. Stahel's cavalry_ formed:.
a part of our force at Rappahannock-Station.
Guerillas have been troublesome of late in the
vicinity of Hartwood Church and Deep Run; two -
miles from Grove Church, the headquarters. of
General Griffin's division of the sth Corps. In fact,
they infest the country from Hartwood Church
to Rappahannock Station, and have frequently
fired on our,men. Chaplain- Saege of the".4tte

GENERAL FREMONT 'AND THE COLORED

. ,
At a meetingtelativeto the enlistment of colored
troops, for- the-Tremont- Legion, Col. Fairman re
ported the interview ofa committee with , the Pre
.
.sident. The committee laid before the President a
petition signed by, such men as Bryant, Greeley,
Dickinson, Godwin, _Noyes,. Yetchtim, Gardner,
Buebnell, and Peter Cooper.
In reply to the memorial, :the President stated the
pnhcy-of the Government, no s ier as he controlled it,
was fixed. It was that GoVernment should avail
itself of anyy, means to obtain the aid of emancipated
slaves in' the South in the present war. He was
only under ;embarrassment how. to carry. the policy
out. -Re =confessed to a.. partial failure in the
endeavors :which had been made to . recruit
colored soldiers both North and South He
said hiteriogatively, "You ask a suitable com
moner' for Gen. :Fremont'? Now . he is- the ae
coial,efficer. of the army in the active service of,
the United - States. . He would expect . a department.
I cannot dismiss him from that_poeitionto offer him
an inferior position. .You place; me in the position
of the younger , Sheridan, who:when - told by his pa
ternal relative to take a. wife, replied, whose wife
shall I take, fatherV .The' Government, Mr.

carry out prombses'about special men, special- num

leas , illustrated- -by. 'a map which he produced
and showed' to the -committee .(a. shaded map'
showing : the 'extent 'of 'slave. population by
various degrees of tint = between black and
;white.) k' My - opinion," declared - the., President,
~-;"is that the -.colored population—will have to
take - these places" (indicating the.region around
, Vicksburg), "and will have to. hold .them. : I have
explained," he said, "the matter to various officers
of high rank, but have always found on these once,.
pions I ran afoul of somebody's dignity. I would
like anybody who can to undertake the matter. I
believe Gen. Fremont peculiarly adapted to this
special walk. I would like to have him do-it. The
committee was' dismissed with assurances that the
President would consider the subject. Mr. Chase,
during the entire, interview, said nothing. Mr.
Sumner, wbo was also present,' was enthusiastic,
and declared the brightest page in history would' be
written by that mants hand who would undertake'
this thing. 'At another interview, the-President
told the committee that if they had the entire ten
thousand troops they promised raised, he would give'
Gen: Fremont a department that very morning.

In the Tribune we find an interesting sketch of
the audacious career of this adventurer and swind
ler, recently sentenced to hard work in the peniten
tiary. Considering that among the German popula
tion his real character was known, it is strange
that this person, at times a pedler, doctor, professor,
count; and colonel, should hare been allowed to run
so long a career of fraud. We are informed that
other adventurers, who disgrace the general integri
.
ty. and patriotism of our foreign-born citizens, re
main to be exposed.
It seems that in 1848, when the Hungarian revoe i
lution broke out, the officers of the Hussar Regi.c
mente, on arriving at the city of Pesth, found in the
Jews' quarter a man of the name of Strasser, - who
kept - a secondhand clothing store, and who„, seemed
to be in confidential relations with the horsekeep
ers of the Hungarian plains which surround that
city, and with whom he had an extensive business
connection. The person who gives us this informa
tion was in one of the regiments, and was personally
acquainted with Strasser at that time. When the
Garibaldi Guard was being formed in New York, he
recognized in the elegant and influential Col. D'-
TJtassy, Strasser, the Jewish clothes dealer of Pesth.
D'Utasey% first field in America was in Canada.
By dint of audacity and cunning, he is said at one
time to have been private secretary - to the Governor
of Nova Scotia, and at another a Professor of Mo
dern Languages in Dalhousie College.
He came to New York some three or four years
ago, bringing with him strong letters of recommenda
tion from influential people in Canada. which, with
hie pleasing personal address and perfect self control,
enabled him to gain the confidence *of .our best citi
zens. Be entered himself as a student in the Office
of Dr. Watts, and for a time attended medical lec
tures at the - University, ostensibly with the object
of pursuing medicine as a profession. All this while
he was going under the assumed name of D'Utasay,
and living in part hy teaching modern languages,
and in part by his wits, At one time he would call
himself Dr. D'Utasey, at another Chevalier D'Utes
ay, and at another Count. Under the latter pseu
donym. he is said to have paid his addresses to a
young lady of a most „respectable American family
at the same time that, under one of. the others, he
seduced a German lady of fine education and pre
viously irreproachable character. Among his asso
.Mates of foreign birth his pretensions to noble - rank
were the subject of jest, and, in various saloons and
concert halls, persons who had known him as the
horse-trader and clothereclealer of '43, under the
name of Strasser, openly denounced him as an im
postor. But, as too often happens, the truth did
not come to the ears of the worthy parties noon
whom he was playing the part of Jergmy Diddler,
on a grand stale, and he was thus enabled to prac
tich his deceptions until the outbreak of the present
On the very first papday after reaching camp, an
assessment of about eight dollars was made upon
every :non commissioned officer and private in the
regiment, Ostensibly for reimbursement to the Union
Defence Committee for the cost of their uniforms ;
and money which was subscribed by ladies and,gen
llemen as a' fund for the benefit 01. the officers and
men, the VietilTlS of this .avaricious and unprinci
pled colonel, were obliged to repay to him. Rifles
thatthe Committee furnished for the flank companies
were taken away with the regiment, in boxes, but
di eappeared soon after reaching camp. Such of the
officers as would not tamely endure his tyranny,
and wink at his dishonest practices, were forced, by
one pretext or another, to resign, or were dismissed
by court martial on trumped-up charges, their places
being filled in every case with- creatures of his own
selection, to whom the commissions were sold at
the best pikes he could extort. Two brothers of
his, named respectively Anton and Carl Strasser,
were called from Hungary to take commissions - in
the regiment, and their names, transformed.into the
noble pseudonym of von TJtasey, were borne on the
regimental pay-rolls for months before the men were
even in this country. The record of his peculationa
in camp would fill a long chapter.
- We have been told by one of his officers that some
time last summer, an ill dressed, slovenly Jewish
woman, turned up in camp, inquiring for Colonel
D'Utasay, saying that she was his lawful wire, and
had come from }tinge: Ty to see him, as she had heard ,
that " her man" had become a real colonel in the
United States Army, and had brOught him his two
children (two dirty Jewish boys whom she led by the ,
hand) to receive his blessing and caresses, She was
directed to the colonel's tent, passed the night with
him, and the following' day disappeared=it is said
with a considerable amount of his stolen property
which had been given into her hands for safe-keep
.
All this time this-horse-thief, perjurer, forger, se
ducer, this foreign confidence operator, and living
lie, was praised in the newspapers as a brave and
competent officer, was regarded by his dupes in New
York as a Hungarian nobleman in his own right, a
sort of second Kosciusko and appeared on
Washingtonthe ave
nue and in the hotels at in all the glory
of gilt lace and embroidered coats, with an outrider
in Mameluke costume 'following at his heels. He
was at Harper's Ferry, and by hook and crook made
it appear as if he, "faithful found among- the faith
less," alone had the courage'and disposition to fight,
to die like Leonidas, rather than surrender, -
The large-amount of--money which he. realized by
his several daring swindles not 'being sufficient to
support his extravagant style of living, and minister
to his vices of gambling and debauchery, he resorted
to the desperate expedient of defrauding the Go
vernment by means of a forged bill of over $8,000,.
which was presented by him at the War De
partment ' and paid by Captain. Elwood, United
States Paymaster; on the .9.7 th of November,
1861. This bill was made out in the uanal
form, for subsistence and lodging said to have
been furnished by various contractors to the Geri
'baldians in New York during the organization of
the regiment; and the correctness - of the general
summary of the whole claim was not only certified
by DrUtasay, but the bill--was also accompanied by
his sworn affidavit before a notary public' in the city
of Washington. This was the first fatal errorwhich
the man seems to have committed in his long career
of crime, for it ultimately led to an investigation
of his life, and his conviction and'sentence to a term
of imprisonment at Sing. Sing, upon which he has
just, entered.
End of the Billiard Tournament.
Last evening the grand billierd tournament, that
has been held for the last eight or ten dayis, at Irving
Hall, came to a most brilliant concluSion, by a grand

Michael Phelan, Philip Tieman,
Dudley Kavanagh, John Seereiter,
William Goldthwait, Michael Foley,
Victor Estephe, -Louis Fox.
Chris. Bird. I John.Deery.
This match caused the greatest amount of enthu
siasm, the-hall being filled by both ladies and gentle
men, who' manifested, the liveliest interest in the
game.. After playing two hours and thirty-three
minutes, the Eaitern players were declared the vie
tors by 162 points; the East hid 70 innings, the,

only made 64 Tor his side. Phelan, for the
East, strung 139, being beaten in point of
numbers, both by . Kavanagh and Goldthwait.
At the conclusion of the Match, prizes were award

few but moat appropriate words presented the win
ner of the greatest number . of gamesduring thetour
nament, Dudley . Kavanagh, with-thi richly inlaid
billiard-table and the beautiful gold-mounted cue, at
the same time installing him the champion billiard
player of America. +: ' -
Mr. Kavanagh; in returning thanks, hoped he
should be enabled, and he would do his best, to keep

SIR : I desire to cotrece through " your. paper, an
important error, occurring in a work which, in spite

the library of every American gentleman—Aroma,
TON'S CYOLOPiCanA.
In the 14th volume of that work, under the head
of "San Juan de Nicaragua, (or Greytown,)" it is
stated that this place "was bombarded and burned
by a naval force of the United States in 1852"0-=
thatis ' during Mr. Fillmore's Administration: I
noticedthe mistake soon after the appearance of the
volume referred to, but, -knowing how difficult it is
to avoid WI typographical errors of this kind, I at
tached-little importance to it. But I find the same
error repeated in the supplement to the., Cyclop:ctlia
(Vol. XVI.) Under the article " it says :
"He made himself conspicuous by the bombardment
and destruction of the town`Of San Juan de Nicara

SIIFFOLW PARR RUNNING- - RACES.--LAST
DAY.—Yesterday closed the meeting at Suffolk
Park, decidedly the beat attended, end in itself the
best ever held in Philadelphia. The flower Of all
the rasing stables in the country were in the races,
the number of which in three days was unusually
large. About one o'clock a brisk showerfell, wtitch,
for a time, threatened a - postponement of the races,
hilt by two orclock it had wept itself away,. and the
sun coming out, shone on a larger number of spec
tators than were probably ever before within the
park. The Tidies' stand, too, presented a gay scene,
and the animated eyes and impulsive wave of hand
kerchiefs evidenced how keenly they enjoyed the
excitement. There were four races, the first a two.
mile dash for VISO, open for all ages; for which were
entered "Mamona,""Dangerous," "'Copeck,"
and "Illondin." The betting between the back
ers of "Mamona" and "Dangerous" was spi
rited, ".IVI moiler' having the call, "Opoeck"
third in the estimation of pool buyers, - whilst
"Blondin" - was least esteemed At the tap of
the drum, "Copeck" went to the front; " Dan
gerous" second; "Bloudin" third, and - " Mamona"
trailing. At the-turn "Blondin" passed to a second
place, which he yielded to "Dangerous" at thequar
ter-pole, "Mamona" still trailing, her easy, Ipw
striding keeping her in close company with the
others, with but half their exertion. After passing
the half•mile pole, "Dangerous" came up, and, siding
with "Copeck," a - beautiful struggle ensued down
the home stretch, which resulted in "Dangerous"
securing a lead of a length as they entered on the
second mile. Here Gilpatrick eased hie horse, for
he knew the struggle with his most formidable oppo
nent was yet to come. And come it did, for " Ma
ssone," breaking into a terrible run, passed "Rion
din" and ".Copeck," and challenged the sorrel.
Away they sped together, but the mare would not
be denied, and At the third quarter pole was ffve
lengths ahead, which she maintained to the finish,
winning the heat and race in 3.43 Y, ;. "Dangerous"
second; "Copeck" third; and "Blondin" fourth.
A half hour elapsed, when the second field was
announced. This race was also a two-mile dash,
and the entries were " Capt. Moore,"—the winner
of the mile heat race on Wednesday, —"Lodi,"
" Southerner," "Surprise," and "Rouble." As in
the previous race, there were two favorites, which
gave an impetus to betting, and increased the ex
citement. At the word, the "Captain"-appropri
ately took the lead, followed closely by "Southern
er," "Lodi" third, "Surprise" fourth, and "Rou
ble" last. The rider of "Lodi was evidently
riding to push the race, and, at the start, battled
'with "Southerner" for the second place, which,
however, he did not secure until after a fierce stnig
gle, which continued to the end of the first mile,
when "Lodi" shoved in front, and, at a rattling
pace, pursued " Capt. Moore," who was still leading
by the distance, which - a good start secured him.
Slowly he gained on him, and, at the half-mile pole,
succeeded in lapping hitn, and together, as one horse,.
they came down the backstretch. As they turned
around the home-stretch, "Lodi"' dropped off,
and the rider of "Moore" took his home in
hand, thinking _the struggle was over; but when
halfway home, "Lodi"-again made - play, and
before the rider of " Moore" could gather his horse,
had lapped and passed him. The- whip - and spurs
fell on " - Moore," and in three jumps he had reached
the position, winning the heat by a neck, in 3.4134';
"Lodi" second; "Southerner" third; " Surprise"
-fourth;• and ."Rouble"-in the position he had
started.
The next was the selling-race, so-called from the
fact that the horses were to be sold at the termina
tion of the race. The arrangement was as follows :
The horses entered to be sold for $1,600 (no entries
for a higher price) to carry their proper weights;
those entered to be sold for $l,OOO, allowed 7 pounds;
if for $600,14 pounds; if for $3OO, 21 pounds. For
-this the entries were: " Seven Oaks," $600; "Eton
din," $600; and "Venture," $3OO. The race
was a dash of miles, ,and the start was
effected from the third quarter-pole. At the
word, " t'Elondin " jumped to the front, with
"Seven Oaks" at his heels, and "Venture"
bringing up the rear. Down the stretch the
pace was fast, and " Blondin," who had been in the
mat race, could not hold it ; "Seven Oaks" taking
up' the lead, by six lengths, in which position he
finished and won the race, in' 2.17%; "Blondin"
second, and "Venture " third. "Seven Oaks" was
then offered for sale, but, no bid being offered, was
withdrawn. Now came the feature of the day—the
four-mile race, between "John Morgan" and "Je
rome Edgar." "John Morgaii"was the favorite, he
having achieved a good reputation as a four-mile
racer, by having defeated "Idlewild " Lexington.
100 to 40 were the odds offered on him, and always
taker.,---thebetting being heavier than on any, pre
vious race. The riding of this race requires a great
deal of judgment; and the fact that the celebrated
"Gilpatrick" bestrode, "Edgar" encouraged those
who accepted the odds against him. At the tap of
the drum they got off, "Edgar leading at an easy
pace, and "Morgan" following, hard held, to his
place. At the quarter pole the pace increased,
and it was evident the run was to be a hard one.
Down the back stretch "Edgar" was allowed togo
up, and in a few strides they were together, and as
one horse they.thundered down the stretch and into
the second mile, when "Edgar"'again assumed the
lead, and as before, led to the quarter-pole. -The
pace had now increased, and the friends of "Mor
gan" looked anxiously, for him to commence the
struggle. At the half-mile pole his, driver let him
go, and rapidly closing on him, lapped• hini down
the stretch. Now they came, neck and neck, until
passing the score, when, amidst a deafening cheer
of the spectators, "Morgan" passed him, and led by
the quarter-pole thee lengths. The 100's looked
satisfied, whilst the forties were uncertain. At the
half-mile pole "Edgar" again -came up, and sided
with his opponent clown the back-stretch, and much
to the dismay of the bettors against hirm'led - down'
the stretch and into the fourth, mile, with a step
lighter than "Morgans," who appeared to be in
distress. Now the forties are jubilant, for it ia pain
fully evident that " Morgan" is tired. Slowly he
falls away, at the half-mile pole he ' falters, and at.
the third quarter-pole stops, "Edgar" cantering home
a winner of,the beat, in 7.62%.: We are at a toss to
account for the break-down of " Morgan," for he
has before shown bottom which' placed him high in
the rank of four-mile racers ; ,_;lt certainly caused
thousands of dollars to chane hands which was
thought to be most securely invested. The
is a

MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE
rEttriSTLYANIA.—The members of this body met
on Thursday at 4 P. M., and took the' cars to Chest.
nut. Hill, to visit the Mower Hospital, where they
arrived at 51a P. M., and were received by Dr. Jos.
Hopkinton, surgeon in charge of that institution:
There are now about one thousand patients in the
hospital ; some very interesting cases were pointed
out. The.working of the fire brigade was exhibited
to the satisfaction of the delegation, and shearing
the utter iMpossibility for a fire to secure any head.-
way, the guard being-as well drilled as any,of our
- city fire organizations. Five 'hundred loaves of
:bread are now used - daily. The commissary room
was found to be a large room, where everythingfrom
a pin to a complete outfit could be obtained upon due
requisition. In the kitchen; - a large room, 30 by 109
feet, everything is in -the moat complete and cleanly -
`order. The knapsack-room can accommodate 3;000 •
knapsacks. There are twenty-two acres , covered
;
by the.hospital being 13; miles in. - circumference.
The surgeons of -this hospital ihave organized a
medical society, and have .a leeture'room capable
of holding some eighty auditors, and each gentle-
`man:in.turndelivers a lecture weekly to his brother.
officers. The delegates then partook of, a very
generous 'set-out by Dr. Hopkinson. After which,
Dr. , Condie expressed the <feelings of the visitors in
a neat speech. Dr.
.Seiss, of Easton, moved tkat a
vote of thanks be tendered - Dr. 'Jos. Hopkinson, of
the Mower Hospital, for .the very kind and gentle,
mainly manner in which he
-has entertained the dele
gates of the Medical Association ; seconded by
Dr. Burns of - Frankford. Surgeon . Hopkinson
madea neat speech in replY, inviting the delegates
to visit his hospital another.- time, when,they lied
more leisure to inspect the arrangements for the
comfort •of the' sick - and ' wounded soldiers. After
which, the "delegation took the cars-for the city.
In the evening the delegates were handsomely en
tertained at the house of Dr. L. P. Gebhard. ',After
Partaking otthe bounteous cheer, so lavishly. spread
before them, Dr. Condie' made some felicitous re
marks, alluding to the fact that the host, Dr. Geb
- hard, had teen , fifty-one years a practitioner of me
dicine, during; hich time he had discarded the use
of &carriage, and depended one his powers as, a pe
' destrian. Dr. Condie regarded this, as striking proof
of the beneficial effects of abstinence' from the use
of stimulating liquors and tobacco in any form, Dr.
Gebbilid now, at the age of '72, being a hale, hearty
. man, and apparently able to continue hie pedestrian
"habits for many - sears longer. It was casually re
marked, by a 'delegate at our elbow, w ,
that there - were
present:three army.surgeons of, the war of 1812—Dre,
Gebhard, Condie, and Bache. On Friday a portion
of -those delegates remaining "in the city visited
tto.e Union'League rooms .and the rooms of 'the
tional Union 'Club, 1105 Chettant street, and' the
Academy.bf..Fine Arts. At , the League rooms, af
ter viewing the building,and hearing from the mem
. bers present the objects of the association, the 'dele
gates organized themselves into - ; a *meeting .lty call
ing Dr. Worthington, of Chester, to the chair, and
Pr. Atkinson as secretary. - Dr. Jewell, after some
remarks relativelo , the reports in- Borne- of the pa
pers. - offered the following'resolution :'"Resolved, That
Dr, T. Green.- late president of:the association, be
authorized te make a correct statement of the pro
ceedings at the late session of the society, relative
to invitation - from the:Union League, and publish it
over his signature,; which was carried. After a vote
of "thanks to the League for their 'handsome recep

TILE 'FIRST OCEAN STEAMSHIP..-The bill
for the establishment of . a line of ocean steamers,
which passed Select Council' on Tlitiisday last, and
will be adopted by.the opposite side of the House at
the
• next meeting, proposes to give the aid of the city
to a project which har received the 'approval of a
large class of our business,; community. The inte
rests of the city are carefully guarded in the pre
mises, as will 1)0 - perceived by a careful examination
of its provisions.- -Instead- , of , limiting the period
during which the nxeess ofthe city's dividends over
six per cent. are accumulate "as a fund for the in
demnity of tberallroad company, it limits the amount
of the fund ,and leaves the city et liberty to dispose
of its, stock, and to pan an unencumbered title to it.
For. tithe city should .201 one-half of its stock, it is
the excess of dividends over six per cent. on its re
maining,stock, which . will go into the fund, - and the
only effect will be to enlarge the period of accumu
lation. It provides for the investmentof the fund in
the-joint names of the president of the railroad and
the city treasure:, and for,the payment of the inte
rest into' the city treasury. And lattly, it 'defines
with definiteness the extent toWhioh the city`-'.agrees
to indemnify the railroad company . .. •

$1.000,000, which will then be readily taken by cam
taliste as a good investment; and it is against any
possible loss by , reason of this guatantee that they
ask to be indemnified by the city.' The steamship
company have already purchased the site for their.
shipyard. They have secured tcsientY•two acres of
land below Lynn's shipyard, adjoining the old canal,
at a eost of $54,000. This' will make one of the
largest shipyards in the world. The ground will be
thoroughly fitted up with sheds, machine shops. pla
ning mills, etc., Mid all the ocean steamers will be
constructed here; hence, the employment of a large
number of Philadelphia mechanise,: The woodwork,
iron, copper; plumbing; the upholstery, cabinet
snaking, rigging, etc., will be done in this city. The
workings, drawings, -and model of the first vessel to
be constructed are now in Capt. Randallre posses
sion, and cost several thousand dollars.
About nine months will be required to turnout
the first vessel; Which will be constructed after the
model of the steamer City of Buffalo, now running
in Lake Erie, and which is considered the best vee
sel in the world. This new ocean steamship will
be 980 feet keel, or 500" feet above all, 23 feet depth
of bold, 6,100 tons, and capable of making 22 miles
an hour in reasonable weather. There will be a
enfficient number of beds to accommodate 2,6oo.pas
sengers. The vessel will beproyidedwith • four pro
pelling wheels, and her engines will be placed 130
feet apart in separate compartments. The engines
will be the same as those used by Captain Randall
in one ship for the period of eleven . years, during
which a single trip was not lost. They are known
as "Light Hants Improved" engines. The vessel,
it is argued, will make a trip to Liverpool inside of
eight daye,-or three days sooner than any other. Its
cost will be about $609,000. If the vessel travels as
fast and with that safety claimed for - her, the effect
will be to bring parties from all parts of the country
to this city before shipping for a European port.
EXTENSION OF THE WATER , WORIES..-
The ordinance pending in.Oity Councils, for the fur
ther extension of the water works, is quite similar
to all the oreinances that-have, frome.time •to time,
during the past four years, been introduced in these
bodies, with no effect other than to create barren
discussion. Fora long time, and especially during
the summer months, very great inconvenience has
resulted from the short supply of water; and every
attempt to increase it, by the erection of ;suitable
water works, has proved abortive, through.political
and other considerations. The patronage to-be be
stowed in the expenditure of so much money- is al
ways a bone of contention between the contestants.
The present bill is said to have many material de
fects, but the committee who prepared it allege that
it was the best that could be conceived. Whether
good or bad; it is very certain that some improve
ment on the present mode of furnishing water is
urgently demanded. It is said that the basin in the
York works is always filled with water, and
provided with a supply equal to what would be need
in ninety days, should any accident intervene to pre
vent the usual supply. -It is proposed to makethe
following improvements, the whole costing about
$950,000. • The Mayor is authorized to borrow on
.the credit of the city - , such sums as may front time
'Ari time be required :
1. For a forty-inch main in Columbia avenue, On
Master street, from Spring Garden reservoir to
Tenth street, $132,750.
2. For a - -thirty-inch main on Columbia; avenue,
from Tenth street to Seventh street, and on Seventh
atreet to "Kensington reservoir, $87,331.
3. For building a retaining wall around,. and rais
ing the Kengington reservoir, $70,000. •
4. For a forty-eightinch connecting main, from.
the Spring Garden reservoir to that on Corinthian
avenue, $62,000.
5. For a forty-eightirich ascending main, from the
works at Fairmount to the reservoir on Corinthian
avenue, $85600.

FRUIT lav — GENERAL, AND STRAWBERRIES
IN PARTICI:MAR.—The quantity and quality of fruit
in prospect for the mouths which already water
for it, was, perhapi, never more abundant and deli
cious than at present. Every variety bespeaks e
very large crop, and as no injury of any amount has
been caused by the frost or otherwise, the quality of
the fruitag ewould seem to be commensurate with the
largeness of the harvest. d. single exception misht
be named. .Last year the apple orchards bore over
abundantly.-This year they will therefore not yield
as much, though a fair supply is anticipated, and will
be produced. The strawberry crops in particular pro
mise a fine yield. The citizens of Bristol are served
with strawberries by the neighboringfarmers, who di
' rest attention to their cultivation, as-low as twelve
cents a quart. In this city the prices vary considerably.
The finest, the largest, and most delicious kind, the
ladyfingers, sell for-twenty-five.cents a quart. The
next best, very good, but not quite so good, sell for
eighteen cents a quart ;, and a third variety, or ad
mixture of varieties, can be had for from twelve tO
fifteen - cents. These'are the prices for which'thist;
beautiful and palatable fruit can be purchased in the
market. At the restaurants, saloons, and eating ,
houses, the price per saucer varies almost in exact
proportion to the "style" and prestige of the ester=
bliehnient."Every one is so fond of the fruit, that
every one is willing to-pay-for it the most hie pock
ets can afford.
