of the most satisfactory state of health. 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.
Everywhere throughout the forces the greatest

Within a few weeks the Secretary of the Nary

squadrons, In compliance with invitations, propo
sitions fcavebeen made to construct tbenew vessels,
and the following parties have obtained contracts:
Oapt. Perine to build two vetveli, Messrs. Raen to
build two vessels, Boston firms to build four, ana
others will soon be given out. 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.”

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.
Army Hospital Report.— On account of
the Medical Director’s office being closed on the 221
we were unable to obtain the following report of the

PHILADELPHIA LIST.
No. 105. Lspsley vs. Allen. Grant’s appeal. No.
132. Linn’s appeal. 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.
Argued by J. Cooke Longstreth for complainant,

We pave, in the police column a few days since, an

j with the larceny of two djamond ring., the property
■ of Thome. O. Garrett, jeweler, on Chestnut street.
; Since that publication five or six store keepers have
, arrived from Baltimore and Washington. They
have identified ae their property about *BOO worth
: of diamond rings found by Officers Callansn and
Carlin in the possession of the prisoner.
The detectives, of course, searched the room
, where the prisoner lived, Ninth street, below Race.
They found a large variety of things that may be
; enumerated as follows : About 1,(100 photographs,
i fancy and otherwise; handsome photographio al

> clothing, bottles of wine, eordial, bitters, sweet
i meats generally, a framed photograph of Mayor
i Henry, and also a pile of towels marked Continental
: Hotel.
Among other things found in the possession of the
prisoner was a small book, pretending to be for aub
‘ scriptfone for expected expenses of repairs to a

j agreeing to sell “them in a lump” at the rate of

; The customer jumped on the wagon, and told the

Fourth and Chestnut streets. In due time, the

“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

The country lad put both hands into the espasious

Riotous Conduct and Assault, Ac
George Primer, David Butler, John Wilton, and
John Randolph, were arraigned at the station-house,
in Union street, on the oharge of riotous conduct at
the public house of John Stewart, at Sixth and
Buckley streets, about 4 o’clock yesterday morning.
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.
