The County Piuson. —The fourteenth,
uotial report of Mr. Win. J. Mulien, prison agent,
wfcicis just been published, chows that daring
iheyrar 1683 he hne tucceeded, with the co-opera
tion of the constituted authorities, in liberating
iromptlfon 1,491 persona. (40 of them being small
children,) at a cost of SUB OS, paid to msglstratca
and other officials; these tv ere from about 2,500
ct tea investigated. The parties were all committed
for court, but on a careful examination it was
found that the imprisonment of a majority of
them was either extremely unjust and oppressive,
for cff«D«es so trivial, or accompanied by such miti
gations, that a further confinement did net seem
demanded by either justice or expediency* It was
discovered that many of thee *
fr'm vindictive n-a’ice, or a thirst for gain,
while other were instituted by intemperate persons,
who unconsciously or recklessly overlooked the
wretchedness they earned by incarcerating pa
rent*. whose children were thereby left with
out protection or support. It is nos, of course,
denied that many of tne above were, to some ex
tent, guilty; but, for the reasons assigned, it was
concluded that their release at the time it was
effected was an act in every way proper. The ii-
Deration of the persons referred to saved to the
county the sum of $13,924 29during the year.
The whole number of persons released within the
last ten years, through the Agent’s interference,
(since thecommencement of the agency), ale been
fourteen thousand five hundred and three (u,5 *), at
* $1,284.74, averaging the amount paid for
prisoner about eight cents, which was pail to
magistrates and others in authority; tlislr libera
tion saved to the tax-payers of Philadelphia the
eum oi y 106,457.48 me unjust, distressful, and
trivial character oi these arrests may be imagined
by the large number of commitments and the few
convictions; and here the would remark that
bis object in executing the duties of hia office iB
not eo much to effect the lelease of a large number
as to liberate those only who ought to be at liberty.
The Lumbei of arrest® within the last year was
ovtr 35,000. Out of tnf s? 17,219 were committed to
prison. Out of the number imprisoned vhere were
336 of their bills ignored, and but 320 convicted, sen
tenced, and recommitted to prison. Of these, 233
•were sentenced to labor, and S 9 without labor. Of
the remaining, there were discharged by the courts
209; by the magistrates, S 173; by the inspectors.
6,025. Prisoners whose time expired within the
year. 1,G82. Of the above number committed there
were 9.932 white males, and 5 596 white females* Of
the latter number there were but 28 convicted and
sentenced to labor, and 10 without labor; 958 black
males, and 1,731 black females, 18 of whom were
convicted and sentenced ro labor, and 1 without
labor. The whole number of commitments of both
sexes shows an increase of 2,659 over that of the
previous year. Although the criminal calendar
shows a diminution of crime, as has been seen by
the disposal of their esses, yet this increase of
commitments is the more rem?rkable when we con
sider that the class which furnishes the largest
number of prison subjects bas been greatly dimin
ished by enlistments in the army. It can be accounted
for only in two way* —the increased sale of intoxi
cating liquors, and the improper commitments by
magistrates. When we reflect upon the fact that
duiixg the past year the different counties in Penn
sylvania paid into the State Treasury, for tavern
licenses, the sum of $246 609 08, of which amount
Philadelphia city contribut'd the large quota of
$133,492 to secure a license to deal out “ death and
destruction 1 ’ to our fellow men, ‘‘ sowing the seeds
of discord everywhere,” filling our prisons, and
making tisneceisary work for tbe courts, without
accomplishing any goed. and that, too, at a frightful
cost of moneyv independent of the great injury to the
metals of the community, we cannot help thinking
this whole business of *‘rum licensing” is "penny
wise and pound foolish.” There c*n belittle cause
lor wonder at the crowding prison and almshouse
in a city whose dens of drunkenness are open by day
and night, on every street, to entice the young of
either sex to degradation and ruin.
Dsr-AETTTEE OP A COLORED REGIMENT.
—Yesterday afternoon the 22a Regiment United
States Colored Troops, numbeiing 1,015 men, ar
rived in this city, from the barracks, near the Old
Tczk-ioad station. This is the fifth regiment raised
and equipped by the Supervisory Committee of this
city, without expense to the Government, and the
sixth regiment is nearly full. As the 22d passed
through a number of our streets they predated an
excellent appearance, and were heartily t cheered
XlOOg tbe whole route. A full baud accompanied the
regiment. They wore a very fine uniform, with
red caps, and attracted much attention. The drill
of thete men is wonderful, considering the time they
have been in the service. Much credit is due to
Colonel Wagner, commanding The post, and the offi
cers ol the regiment, for this perfection of the men.
The regiment is commanded by Colonel Klddoo, who
was formerly Major of the 6th U, S. Colored Troops,
which left this city for Hilton Head about two
mciitba ago. He subsequently went before the
Board of Examiners at Washington, and passed as
Colonel* The other officers also passed
examination before the same Board. The field
officers are: Colonel, J. B. Kiddoo *, Lieutenant
Colonel, Nathan Hoff; Major, John B. Cjok;
Surgeon, C. G. G. Merrill; Assistant Surgeons,
Martin Phillips and J. C. Moore. .The regiments
cm their arrival at the Berks-streei Station, inarched
down Second to Arch, up ArJh to Broad, down
Broad to Chestnut, down Cnestnut to Third, down
Third to Lombard, down Lombard to Second, down
Second to Washington avenue, and thence to the
Refreshment Saloons. After considerable delay,
about eight hundred of them proceeded to the
Union Volunteer and the remainder to the Cooper
Shop Saloon, where they spent some time re
freshing the inner man with the numerous dainties
provided by these patriotic institutions. A large
number of the colored fraternity, both male and ft>
male, also congregatedghere, and,] without either
jj* citation or invitation, plunged into these neces
sity and attracting articles. After this part of the
jnccetdings were over they were formed Into line
and marched to the foot or Washington street, where
the United Stales steamer Governor Chase was in
waiting for them. They were immediately embarked
cu board of her, and about seven o’clock in the eve
ring she set sail for Fortress Monroe, where the
colonel is ordered to report to Major Gen. Butler.
This is tbe second regiment from our city which has
been sent to that place.
The Schoomasteh Abroad.— The need
of a schoolmaster is probably nowhere more urgent
in any department of our public school system Sian
in the intelligent Board of School Controllers.
This body of learned guardians of the education of
about eighty thousand youths are a lively com
mintsiy upon the gross folly of permitting poli
ticians to control the public schools. There is
*caicely a public meeting of this Board at which
there is not exhibited such flagrant abuse of the
King’s English, as should cause a blush to the check
til an ordinary scholar ia any of the secondary
schooli.
A certain teacher, in an -up-town grammar school,
vvftp, on Tuesday afternoon, formally discharged
from his functions, and among the reasons assigned
let hia dismissal was one that he used ungram-
language; that he was known at times to
mskev.se of suchlangu&ge as “there is no scholars,”
and ‘‘there was mistakes,” etc. The public will
agree that it was a very proper act to dismiss a
teacher who proved himself thus incompetent. As
a matter of curiosity, we undertook to note whether
it was true that Satan was rebuked by Satan. Tn
the period of half an hour of me proceedings of the
same meeting, we heard there expressions escape
the lipa of more than one Controller:
_ The High School scholars was examined
Pupils where rejected 5” The teacher was elected
Without authority of four ;*> “ There has been teach
ers given good satisfaction in the Twenty-fifth
w*i*i u Paienl* have came to me from my ward;”
“There is others that did net apply for examine*
tion“ Some schoo3a have no pianos,” &a.
The School Controllers have another duty to psr«
form as public men, and that Is to learn to pay due
respect to our mother tongue.
Army Hospital Lectures. —A series of
iec'Urts have lately been commenced At the JVIe-
Clellan United States Army Hospital, near Nice
town, Philadelphia, for the benefit of the soldiers,
with great success, at the suggestion of its energetic
chaplain, James Shrlgley, U. JS. A.
Hr. 'William E. Bonsai!, of the medical staff, de
livered on January 4,1564, the opening leoture, ea«
titled ‘‘Follies of the Age.” He was followed on
the 2oth of the month by Ur. Isaac Norris in a well
writteu address on “ Scanderbeg,” the Grecian pa
triot and king, whose character is thought to resem
ble so much that of our well-neioved Washington.
Dr. Stonelake on Monday last delivered the third
lecture of the course, bis subject being “ G-ettvs
buig.” Others have been promised by the various
gentlemen attached to the staff.
Judging from the delight and pleasure which th*se
entertainments afford the soldiers, enlivened as
they are by a number of patriotic airs from the
band attached to the “Ic valid Corps” of the hos
pital. it is to be hoped that the example thus com
menced may be imitated in our other hospitals.
The chapel in which they take pUce has been
lately handsomely fitted up with new settees, etc,,
the library room much enlarged, and every atten
tion paid to the amusement, moral welfare, and in
struction of the soldiers here, as a visit to those
rooms, and to its clean and beautifully-decorated
wards, will show. The hospital was never in a more
nourishing condition than at present, under the ab : e
management of its surgeon in charge, Dr. Letvia
Taylor, and his efficient executive officer, Dr. Joseph
vi murphy.
The Gntxs’ High School.—The publi
cation of the names of the successful candidates for

Withheld for the present. The list has been ready

in the examination, preferring that oourseto the

egaiast this school have been reite
rated frequently 01 late in the meetings of the Con
ircHers, and it is to be hoped that the pending in
vestip ation may be so thorough as to eradicate what
ever evils there map exiet.
House of Correction.—An unimport
ant meeting was held in the Common Council Cham
her, on Tuesday evening, by & committee of Coun
cil., Inspectors of Prisons, mid Guardian, of the
Poor, in reference to the erection of a new House of
Correction in this city. Mr. Maris presented a plan
w l*icb, if carried out, Mr. Barclay laid would put off
the creation of a Home of Correction for years.
Mr. WetherUl thought that the oommittee of Coun
cils had very little to do with the ereotion or suoha
building or the .election of a .ite. When the cli
mate. are made, and a site .elected, all they would

validity of the election, there having been more

THE POLICE.
[Before Hr. Alderman Beitler. J
Assault with Intent to Rill.
Samuel Jeffries and Sam Smith were arraigned at
the Central Station yesterday afern«on on the
charge of committing an assault and battery upon
Major Gasper M. Berry, at or in front or within the
railroad hotel of Mr. E. H. Reeder, Germaatown,
on Monday evening. It seems that Lieutenant
Hiley, Lieutenant Morris, and Majoi Berry, were at
Sands’ hotel, on Monday evening, on a visit. This
place is located a short distance above Germantown.
As they were about to return in their carriage, a
private one, belonging to Lieutenant Hiley, Lieu
tenant Townsend, who boarded at Reeder’s hoteL
and who was present at Sands', requested to ride
with the party. This, of course, was at once com
plied with. On reaebiog Reeder’s hotel. Lieutenant
Townsend alighted, whereupon, without a moment’s
notice, or any provocation, or expectation, he was
violently assaulted and knocked down. Major
Berry sprang from the carriage, and was either
forced or pulled into the dining-room, where he was
struck on the back part of the head with a billy.
He merely said in reference to the attack on Lieu*
tenant Townsend: “ Would you kill a man that
way who has been, fighting for his country V*
In a moment some one cried oat in reference jo
Mr. Berry, “Kill him, Kill the—” He was then
struck several times, but did not fall until receiving
the second blow from the billy.
He alleges that both Henry C. Reeder and Edward
H. Reeder assisted in the .outrage committed upon
him. Lieut. Morris, who belongs to the 26 th Regi
ment P. V., had only arrived iu Philadelphia on Sun
day evening, he being in rather ill health, from long
service in the cause of hie country. He was very
seriously injured during the melee. The wholeaffair
did not occupy but a very fewminutes; it was sharp,
short, and bloody.
At the hearing yesterday, Major Berry fully iden
tified Jeffries as one of the parties who made the
attack. Smith looks like one of them. The defend
ants were required to enter bail in the sum of $3,000,
to answer at court.
Subsequent to the above proceedings, Henry G.
Reeder and Edward H. Reeder appeared before the
magistrate, aad wsived a hearing. Each of these
defendants were required to enter bail in the sum of
$l,OOO each, to answer at court.
Some Developments in a Case of Robbery.
Dennis Shay was arraigned yesterday on the
charge of stealing a watch from Captain Thomas El
liott, a short time since.
Officer Yoorhees testified that on the 2d instant he
arrested the defendant at Twenty-second and Spruce
streets, having in his possession a watch alleged to
have been stolen. (Watch shown.)
H. H. K. Elliott testified that the watch belongs
to bis son, and was stolen from him; some money
was also stolen at the same time. Since the rob
bery, my ion has been ordered to report to Bridge
port, Alabama I suppose he is there now*
Harry Elliott sworn—This watch is my brother’s.
Mr. L. C. Cassidy said—As there is no evidence of
robbery having been committed by defendant, I ask
that he be discharged* He has now been in custody
a full week.
The counsel for prosecution asked thafthe case be
continued for a short time. There is some evidence
that the defendant committed the robbery.
The alderman replied there waa nothing yet be
fore him that the defendant committed any robbery,
and, therefore he had nothing to hold him on*
Mr. Elliott expressed a hope that & mere techni
cality in the law would not be taken advantageof in
a preliminary hearing.
The magistrate replied. « 1 You have had a week to
obtain your witnesses.”
“I had a witness here last Wednesday, and I un
derstood you to Bay the hearing was not to take
place then, but a week from that day.”
“Can you have that witness by two o’olook to
morrow?” ~
“ I think I can,” replied Mr. Elliott.
The cbbo was thereupon adjourned over until two
o’clock this afternoon.
Pinal Hearing. *
J. McGregor, who has had quite a number of
hearings at the Central Station on the charge of
larceny, was yesterday finally bound over in the
sum of 4600 to answer. .Tohn Jenkins was held to
answer the charge of receiving the stolen goods. It
is due, perhaps, on this ex parte hearing to Bar that
Mr. Jenkins recovered the goods from a peraon
who received them from the alleged thief. He tried
to trace the ownership, but failed, and retained
possession of the article, the ssme as is always done
by police officers generally.
[Before Mr. Alderman HcOahen. 1
That United States Detective.
A dual hearing was to have taken place yester
day attemoon in the case of the man wko alleges
himself to be in the secret service of the United
States. He stands chaiged with conspiring to cheat
and defraud. The particulars of this affair have
already been published in these columns.
At the last hearing in this case, on Friday eve
ning, HenryUnger, a very important witness, was
examined, Previoua to this certain parties were
anxious to ascertain his whereabouts, but they were
not exactly gratified with the information. They
ascertained the fact, however, at the hearing. On
faund&y morning last, at 4 o’clock, Mr. Unger was
aroused from his slumbers, at his residence, and
taken by an armed guard to tke provost barracks, as
a deserter. Fortunately for himself and the cause
or justice, he submitted the most inoontestible legal
f™ h .® w *» not * deserter. He was, there
fore, promptly discharged by the provost marshal. It
seems that when the sergeant arrested him, Mr.
Unger said that he had his papers to show that he
was honorably discharged.
It is alleged that the sergeant replied “he did not
want to see them, as any papers ean be got from the
provost marshal for five dollars.”
Mj; Unger has utterly failed to ascertain by what
authority he was arrested; but, as the case has un
expectedly assumed a very serious importance, it is
Dgw considered necessary to ferret out the whole
The sergeant who made the arrest is under arrest
himself. The United States Government has been
singularly afflicted with the worst kind of thieves and

McCahen, we are prepared to say that he volunta
rily stated in the office of The Press that the secret
detectives were in many esses very bad men. He
made a request that nothing should bo published
about bis case, alleging that auch would defeat the
ends of justice. We therefore as a matter of justice
have not publicly stated his name.

Alleged Arson.
A man giving the name of Richard Atmore was
arraigned yesterday on the charge of arson, in set
ting fire to four hayricks, on the farm of Mr. Wm.
Jones, in the southern part of the Twenty-fourth
ward, on Tuesday evening, between the hours of
seven and eight o’clock. The neks were destroyed,
and the bam wae in great danger, but was fortu
nately saved. The loss is estimated at three hun
dred dollars. The defendant worked lor Mr.
Jonee by the month, and lived in a cot
tage on the farm. He was a man of Intemperate
habits. On Tuesday attemoon he had some words
