He reports the prevalence of most excellent morals among the men, and says that there is no tendency to any form of epidemio disease. -Scarcely any typhoid exists, and there is a universal absence of scurvy.

The new craft are to be entirely of iron, and are not intended for parti cipation in actual battle. TheirhuUs are to be built in the strongest meaner, and the machinery will be as circumstances will permit. In this connection, it may not be araias to state that all the new, fast War steamers, whose origin was first announced in "the Tribune, are pi ogreasing rapidly, and will pro. bably be dotted this year. Some of them may be launched in August. EXPEHIMENTSWITHM.MAItiLiEFOKT’S TORPEDOES. Hilton Head, S. C., Feb. 16,18S4—At Station Creek, yesterday, a trial was made with the new torpedoes inventtd by M. Maillefort, the submarine engineer, who some years ago reduced tbe sunken work at Hurl-Gate, near New York, and thereby improved the navigation of the Hast River and Long Island Sound. The apparatus consisted of a tin care, containing cue hundred and twenty- fire lb*, of fine powder, with an internal explosive agency regulated by machinery. It is designed to be floated by the tide against hatbor obstructions, and to de stroy them. The moment of explosion is predeter mined, according to the strength of the current and the state of the tide, and the machinery adjusted ac cordingly. An experimental obstruction, similar to those lately drifted out of Charleston harbor, was moved in the channel near Station Creek, and the torpedo launched against it. The effect was the breaking of a principal timber. The tide h%d already begun to ebb, and the machine consequently did not approach near enough to effect mote nurt. But for this miscalculation, the whole mass must have been destroyed. THE FLORIDA REBEL CIRCULAR, The World expressed its doubts of the authenticity of the letter of a rebel commissary in Florida, which was publisheo, a few days ago, in all the Journals. We have before us a copy of this report, sent by a prominent cfficer, now in Florida, to his wife in this city, with the following certificate added: “We certify on honor that the above is a true copy of the original captured at Sanderson, Flori da, February 11. IS&4. . “ Cl. A. Gilmore, Major General. *‘T. Seymour. Brigadier tienerai,” The Worid havu g asserted, in mere partisan spite, aod without a liitic of evidcr.ee, that the expedition to Florida Lad a political and not a military Object, was bound to discredit the evidence which showed that the purpose of General Gilmore was to out off the supplies which the rebels were drawing from that State.— Post. BEAUREGARD’S BARGE CREW DESERT. A late letter from Charleston harbor to the Balti more American says: 11 We have a constant and steady stream of de serters coming in, varying in number from four to ten daily. The majority of them are from North Carolina, but almost every State are also represent ed. A fortnight ago, a rebel lieutenant fromjGeorgia came in. Day before yesterday General Beaure gard’s barge ciew deserted in a body, and came over tO Admiral Dahlgren. Their news Is very Interest ing TO the fleer, 'it seems that the rebels have eight torpedo boats, like the David, that attacked the Iron aides. These’boats are all ready and expect to come down nightly. They are represented as larger, and. as carrying two persons more than the original one. They experience great difficulty m getting crews for them, although there are plenty of officers Who vo lanteerfor the duty. REBEL TROOPS SENT TO FLORIDA. A Washington letter says: “ Advices from near Charleston report that some fifteen thousand troops have been despatched by the rebels toTallahasse, Florida, for the purpose of disputing the advance of our forces upon that place. Fart of these troops are said to hv" e been sent from Georgia, and there* mainder from Beauregard’s army. If the number of the rebel trrops be correctly stated, the opposing armies will be very nearly matched, should they meet in deadly cembat.” T frlJB CIT t * Vhermometar. FEBRUARY 23,1863. .

NNW NNEiWSW sw.„ Spkciax Meeting of ttte Board of •School Coktrollbbs.— An adjourned special meet ing of the Board of School Controllers was held yes* terday afternoon. . The special committee, to whom had been referred the subject of alleged mismanagement in the Girls’ High School, made a report, in which it was stated that they had met in daily cession since their ap pointment, acd that their labors were not yet at an end. The report was accepted and the committee continued. A. communication was received from the First sec tion, aching for The fixation ol the salary of th»3 principal ol the unclassified school at $750 Referred. The Eighth section petitioned for the purchase of a lot at the southeast corner of Locust and Aspen Streets, for school purposes. Referred. Mr. Shipper offered a resolution that $709 be ap propriated lo Mr. W. Uhlicgerfor furniture fur nished the M&discn School House, and $386 50 to John H. Gafcj 11, for heaters to the same : aiso, to pe tition Councils to appropriate $l,OOO for an iron railing around Penn Grammar School. The Board wept into Committee of the Whole to consider the zepoit of the committee appointed to reriie the by-laws and rules of the Board. Thig report was presented at the meeting January 12th- In the Hat of duties assigned to tfce Committee on Text Boohs, there is one rule that the committee shall not allow any book to be introduced or used in any Bchcol of the district, unless the same shall have been first approved by the BoaTd ; nor shall any new or revised eoition of any boobiauie bs introduced nithcut the like approval. In urging ths necessity for this rule. Mr. Fletcher observed that many books might be by a committee, and be introduced into the Sublic schools, though they contained errors which he members of the Board might have detected. He Instanced the b<ok called “Bishop Davenport’s History of the United States.” The only objection to the book, and which was not discovered until lately, is found in chapter XXL, which relates the principal even fa of Mr. Idncoin’s Administration. The following questions and answers are contained in the chapter: Q. What took place on the 9th of January, 1861? A. The steamer Star of the West, carrying rein forcements for Fort Snmpter, in Charleston harbor, was fired upon by the rebel batteries. Q,. What other States seceded in January? A. Alabama. Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana. Q.- When did Texaa pass the same act? A. On the let of February, 1861. Q,- What did the seceded States immediately do? A. They seized on all the forts ana public propersy •of the United states, within their borders, th%t were not defended, and entered into confederation for their mutual defenoe. Q. Who were elected President and Vice Presi dent of the Confederacy 1 A. On February 9.1861, Jefferson Davis, of Mis sissippi, and Alexander Stephens, of Georgia, were elected temporary President and Vice President of the Southern Confederacy. There is no other allusion to the Southern Con federacy in the book. Mr. Fletcher held that this was a recognition of the rebels as a distinct nationality, and, therefore, it was not a fit book for the study of the public schools. It is likely that the book will be stricken from the list of text books. An effort was made to change the office hours of the Board, so as to be from 9 A. M. to 3 P.M., hut it failed. The report of the committee was adopted with but few amendments.

Argued together by John Samuels for appellant, Grant $ by E S. Miller for Linn’s executors; and by Theodore Cuyler for appellees. No. 106. Twella vs. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Certiorari to Nisi Priua. This was a bill in equity to restrain the Pennsylvania Railroad Company (respondents) from charging a higher rate of freight on coal oil shipped at Pittsburg on their road and consigned to complainants at Philadelphia than they charged other parties on same kind of freight. Complainant received coal oil shipped over defendants’ road and reshipped it to New York. The company had a contract with the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, under which they re ceived goods at Pittsburg to be delivered in New Y oik. On these goods they charged a rate, their pro rata on which, after deducting the New York rail road company’s charge, and the amount paid Leech & Co , whom they employed to deliver their freight from the terminus of tbeir road to the terminus of the Camden and Amboy road, amounted, in the win ter season, to more than their ordinary rates between Pitisbutgand Philadelphia. Complainant sent the oil, consigned to him, to New York, by sea. In March last, Mr. Houston, the freight agent of defendants, ordered the local freight agent at Pittsburg to charge an extra rate of six cents per hundred pounds cn all oil destined for Newt York, and, at the same time, to offer to the shipper to give him bills of lading thiough to New York at the current through rate*. This, It was alleged by the complainants, had the effect of securing to the defendants, Leech fit Co. and the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, the monopoly of thefcarrying trade in coal oil between Pittsburg and New York. The complainant claimed that he had the right to receive bis oil at the same rates as other Philadel phia consignees, and that the company had no right to inquire into its ultimate destination. The company, respondents, on the other hand con tended that they had a right to know the destina tion, and to oharge more on oil destined for New York than on the same article intended for Phila delphia.

About eleven o’clock, a customer came ! along and bargained for the whole load, Tobias j agreeing to sell “them in a lump” at the rate of I eighty cents per bushel. ; The customer jumped on the wagon, and told the : ®? n of rural felicity to drive to his eating saloon at Fourth and Chestnut streets. In due time, the . horses were stopped in front of Mr. Price’s restau : rant. “Now,” said the purchaser and pretended owner of the saloon to the country lad, “ you measure out the potatoes, half bushel at a time, and I’ll earrv them down.” “ Wall, that’ll do, I reckon,” replied the seller and at the work of measuring he commenced with a nght good will, no doubt consoling himself with the thought of taking home thirty-two dollars in “ green backs.” B ni?i2, , ?^ n the potatoes into the cellar and «£ em i? 11 bln - 1,1 * Bhort tiine be had thus and* bu, bela and a half.

It appears from, the evidenoe the prisoners and another man went into the publlo house, as stated, and called for five drinks, which were handed to them. They refused to pay, and some angry words ensued. The party became uproarious, and made sundry demonstrations to demolish the fixtures. They menaced the bar-tender, and he, in order to save his life, flew off upon the wings of fright. The police were speedily at the scene, and Jour of the party were captured; one eioaped* Randolph, it iff alleged, procured a boulder, weighing about two and a half pounds, and secreted himself behind a tree Just at Officer Wright passed by, having in custody a prisoner, Randolph threw the stone at him, which just grazed the head of the knight of the star. The party were committed in default of SSCO bail to answer the charge of riot. Additional bail of $l,OOO was demanded in the case of Randolph, to answer the charge of assault and battery upon Officer Wjfght with intent to kill. PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF TRADE.
