, Modern Democracy ta a mystery. It ia not easily
noderalood; it pretends to be devotedly attached to
the Union; it indignantly repel, any attaok upon
Ha loyalty; yet there are lome thing! about It which
are not eaally explained.
COSSTITtmOSAI. AMENDMENT—MODERN DEMO
The lest Legislature, one braneh of which was
Democratic, proposed three amendments to the Con
stitution. One waa to aUow aoldiers in the actual
military service of the United States the right of
suffrage.
Another was to prohibit the Legislature from
granting any power or privilege In any oase where
the authority to grant auoh power or privilege has
been, or may hereafter be, conferred upon the courts
of this Commonwealth.
The third provided against the passage of what
are uiually termed “ omnibus'biils."
These proposed rmcndments passed the House
without opposition. No objection was made to
them, and apparently then the Demooratlo party
seemed to be In favor of extending the right of
voting to soldiers. Hot it has long been evident that
they have no particular relish for the soldiers’ vote.
Perfectly well they know that It will afford them
bpt little aid and comfort.
’lt is the opinion of many eminent legal gentle
misnthat all of these amendments mutt stand or fall
together; that the failure of one will be equivjt.
Mpt to the failure of aUof them; that they must all
b# submitted to the people as they passed the last
Legislature. The Democratic aide quietly allow
the solditr amendment to pass, and then oommence
a fierce onslaught upon the other. The very men
who voted for the second proposition at the last
cession are now bitterly opposing it. Why is this
opposition 1 What has come over the spirit of their
dreams! Is it not fair to infer that they have no
particular affection forthe first amendment!
There amendments were before the House day
before yesterday, but, there being no oomtitutloiMl
majority present, they were lost for the present.
But the Senate have the amendments passed to
third reading, and when they are taken up by the
House, a constitutional majority will undoubtedly
be present. The Union men are united upon this
question. Though eome of them are not personally
In favor of the second amendment, yet they will vote
for It rather than endanger the first.
THE RAID DAMAGES—MB. WATSON’S SPEECH.
Last evening the House had under consideration
the bill Introduced by Mr. Sharpe to provide for the
payment of damages occasioned by the rebel ralda,
upon which Mr, Watson, of your city, made one of
the best speeches of the session. The discussion
having pteviously taken a wide range, he spoke
mainly upon the great political questions of the day.
His was an earnest, able, and eloquent defence
of the present Administration. His speech should
be placed in the hands of every voter in the country.
Ho handled the Peace Democracy without gloves,
and has placed them before the people in their true
light.
After muoh rambling debate the bill was com.
mltted to the Committee on Federal,Relation.) of
whieh the Hon. P. Frazer Smith is ohafrmsn. It
will be materially changed. It will provide that
the damages be assessed, and that the General Go
vernment be requested to pay them. That the Na
tions! Government should pay these claimß there
can be no soit of question. They were committed
by a comlhon enemy, and there is no more reason
why they should be paid by Pennsylvania than by
New York or Massachusetts. Because our geogra
phical position Is such that our fields are laid waste
by rebel raids, should tbis State bear all Its burdens?
Suppose the rebels had carried out their intentions,
and remained aU summeriand winter In our cities
and |towns, and laid waste the whole country, la
that case should the losses have been bornqbythe
State or National Government 1 There oan be but
one answer to this queetion. These claims should
be assumed by the nation, and the bill will be re
ported from the committee in such a way that this
object can be effected.
A company of recruits came do wn from Williams.
port last night, under the charge of the Deputy Mar-
shal. Among them were four who pretended to
hall from Philadelphia. They came to Williams
port for the purpose of obtaining the local bounties.
Their actions were a little suspioious, and the offi<
cer was cautioned to keep a close watch upon them.
A soldier was put over each one of them. As the
night wore away, and when the train was running
rapidly, one, and then another, stepped into the
water closet, which attracted no attention at the
time. They were going at the rate of twenty.five
miles an hour. - They had been there but a moment
when the Marshal went to look for them, when he
foil ml that they bad broken the window and -made
their escape. They are evidently old hands, at this
game, and are of that class who travel around the
country and enlist as often as they find an oppor
tunity. The people should look out for recruits th»t
hall from a distance. As they were muttered into
the service, the loss falls Upon the Government.

Han; counties of thii State will be dl,appointed
when the dtaft (If we have any) takes place. Thii

wealth; counties, who ate here for the purpose or
getting recruits. I know of several large counties
that have filled their quotas almost entirely with
foreign recruits.. They are upon ever; street corner,
and the moment a parcel of new soldiers come in
they are besieged with honeyed words and a shower
of greenbacks, and in hundreds of cases the; forsake
their own localities, and credit themselves to others
which pay cash in hand. The inevitable result will
be that the poorer counties will furnish double their
quota in men, while the rioh will give up their money
but keep their men at home. FRANK.
OUR NATIONAL FINANCES.
Hr. Chains System Defended by a Demo
crat—The Solvency of the Government
Indestructible—Speech of Hon. H. G. Stett
btns, of New Tort.
The able speech of Mr. Henry G. Stebbins, made
lately in the Home of Representatives, has created
much sensation among the opponents or the Govern
ment. Mr. Stebbins is a leading banker of New
York, president of the Board of Brokers, and Is
withal a Democrat. Hehaitbereforounusualolaims
to be heard by all parties. His speeoh is an eloquent
and unanswerable defence of the Government credit
against its invidious assailants, chief of whom is
Mr. Fernando Wood, Mr. Stebbins, it will be seen,
based bis argument upbn fact and truth, andmot
upon speculation, taking for his text the reoorded
opinions of the Secretary of the Treasury, and op*
posing them to the false statements of Wood and
others.
“ Mr. Chase’s avowed and recorded opinions are,
that sufficient circulation has been provided—that
it cannot be increased except at the hazard ol swift
destruction to the whole system —ttial no change
whatever, limiting or increasing the quantity of circu
lating median t, which is four hundred millions, should
be considered for one moment .”
Mr. Stebbins further read from Mr. Oban's re
port :
•'Pages presents an estimate of the conditioner
the public finances up to the Ist of July, last, and
the estimated total debt up to the Ist of July, 186$.
On July that debt will be $1,686,956,641, of
which ls currency. On the Ist of July,
1866, it will be $3,231,935,190, of which $400,000,000
will still be eurrenoy. Deducting tbls currency from
the debt, the funded debt of the United States will,
in July, 1866, be $1,831,935,190. I class all bat the
$400,000,000 legal tender as funded debt, and I as
sume that the extreme limit of this kind of money
has been reached—that it will never be exceeded.”
A correspondent of the Tribune describes thespeeoh
as follows:
“ The orator, practically familiar with banking,
and knowing man's ways with money, and his pas
sion for interest and weakness ror coupons, demon
strated this proposition In the clearest manner. He
abowed'thstthe $400,000,000 legal-tender 6 per cent,
was, like the funded debt, a merchantable commodi
ty, partaking of the character ol the English ex
chequer bill—rising and tailing in price with the
augmentation oi interest—floating as currency a few
value of money, increasing in value daily with the
days after being issued, but presently absorbed and
gone from the market, not to reappear until present
ed for payment, on maturity. In the same manner
he showed that the debt certificates were not" cur*
reney ”—that the; are bought and sold for luveat
ment and as marketable commodities, and occupy
precisely the same relation to capital that the pro
missory note occupies. The long loan he next tho wed
to be like any other funded debt, and when he con
cluded this braneh of his triumphant argument with
the words:
“And so, Mr. Speaker, out of sixteen hundred
millions of debt, thus far created, but four huDdred
millions is eurrenoy,” the assent and faith of the
House followed him, and the Copperheads shrunk*
back in their chairs. They shrunk deeper back un
der his manly rebuke of the arguments and state
ments they had resorted to with deliberately mall*
clous purpose of swelling the current of improvident
-npoulatlon—of weakening still more the public con*
fiiltmcp—m Public credit—
Sr mfstill n,-'. h «r the price or the precious

portion the burdens of a people staggering
under their load of bloody sacrifices, great anxieties
and expenses, and attempting to shrivel the war
arm or the country with prediction! of national
backiuptcy and repudiation. He said:
•• Sir, auob predictions and statements cannot be
made in this House without damage to the public
credit and injury to private interest*. Nor can they
be made without hurtful influence on the hundreds
of thousands of soldiers in the field, far away from
their homes, and in the midst of enemies. They
look to Congress to build up the national credit, to
strengthen it if it is endangered, and to fortify it
where it needs fortification. They wish to feel sure
of ample supplies of men and money, until they can
terminate tile war successfully and. honorably, i
sympathize with these soldier*. With all my objec
tions to the present financial system of the country,
I feel it to be my duty to sustain it till the war is
over. And I think, sir, that it 1* the duty of even man
In this House to be zealous and industrious In his
labor to Inspire the public with confidence In Mr.
Chase’s financial system, and to enable, the Govern
ment to negotiate its loans and meet with prompti
tude Its obligations.”
Had there been holes in the neighborhood Of Fer
nando Wood's seat numerous ehalrs had been vaca
ted under the ring of these Democratic words,
vacated with undulatory haste and hisses of leave,
taking.
The orator then rose with hit theme, and treated
paper money like a statesman as well as a banker.
He said:
“I am taught by history that great wars have al<
ways been carried on with paper money. Myjudg
ment and my experience teaoh me tbat this country
cannot hope to be an exception to this rule. I
therefore do not propose to dlaouss the system of
paper money, nor to point out its imperfections. I
desire to see nothing but the great facts that we are
in the midst of eivll war—that men and money are
essential to it* prosecution—that the life of the na
tion must be saved —the honor of our arms main-
W»«d-DK Integrity ol tho United Staff* ffWtved
—the authority of the Federal Government yindb
oated. A financial system, the offspring of this groat
necessity, has grown up. It has been In operation
for the past three years. It is Interwoven through
every part of our industrial system. We cannot
abolish it If we would i we ougnt not to aboliih it.
If we could. We mutt watt for peace to prevail
before we undertake to pull down the structure, and
build In its place another. To undermine and de
stroy it now, would be to bury the nation under its
ruins. 11
Mr. Stebbins next Indorsed Mr. Chase’s national
banking scheme as calculated to strengthen the na
tional oredit, to provide a mode and means of selling
Government debts in considerable quantities, and to
prepare the wav for resumption ol specie payments
and the gradual displacement of the legal tender.
And this resumption of specie payment., he believed,
would take place through the iufiuenoe of the na
tional banking law without any of the disorders
and convulsions which always heretofore have fol
lowed great financial changes.
He uttered his faith in the funded American debt,
and based the faith Of the people in the bonds or the
United States with economical truth & B well *«
rhetorical beauty; the plowed fields and the home
steads between the Atlantic and the Missouri, on
the public domain of a thousand million of square
miles west of the Missouri; on its inexhaustible
minerals of coal, iron, copper, sliver, and gold; on
its Pacific Railroad to traverse and out through this
bed of eternal wealth, and to tap the oommeree of
the Paoific world; on the enterprise and intelligence
of the free race that will build this road, mine that
mealtb, and draw off that oommeroe.
« Sir,” said the orator, “ the people believe in this
basil of their coutry’s debt. I believe in it. I know
the great economical truth, that while from the year
1601 to 1861 the population of Franoe increased but
37 per cent,, and that of Prussia increased but 79 per
cent,, and that of England 121 per cent., the growth
of population in country was 693 per cent, i I
know, too, from the stalls ici of the increase of the
national wealth of America for the last ten years,
that in 1870 the middle Atlantic carrying and manu
facturing and the Western food-producing States
will aurely have thirty-five thousand millions of
taxable property, and in 1880 eighty thousand mil
lions! •
“Sir, the four hundred millions of legal tender di
vided equally among, these states, to be paid by
them out of their increased we alth from 1650 to 1860
alone, would have bee*j -‘i in the first six
months of 1860, and thebalknoe of increase of wealth
remaining on hand ba the enormous sum of $7,600,-
000. oco. Measured in'connection with the nation’s
ability to pay, this legal tender debt, sir, ii wholly
unimportant* Have not twenty-five millions of
Americans endorsed this paper* as well AS aU the
debt of the United ststes; and is .not this endorse
ment guaranteed by forty-two millions of Ameri
cans thinking and laboring in 1870 $ and is not their
guaranty underwritten by the fifty-six millions of
Americans of the year 1870, backed up by their ac
cumulated wealth of $82,000,000,0001” .
Coming to the measure before the House, the gold
bill, he said, with a logical impressiveness which
was irresistible.:
“If this four hundred millions of currency were
secured to be paid to-morrow; if the nation could
see it begin to die and disappear by the establish
ment of a sinking fund of 10 percent, per annum,
whieh would absorb it all in ten years; if by the
legislative sanction the Secretary should direct
the burning of $lOO,OOO of it a day, until the
whole was destroyed, do you imagine you would
hear anything more of rise* in goidi sir, those
measures would be the death of the speculators on
the seaboard, and the nation would rise above their
fears and anxieties, full of fresh power and hope.
The passsge of this bill to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury to sell from time to time the surplus
gold in the Treasury would, in my opinion, have a
corresponding effect, and tend prodigiously to the
reduotion of the expenses of the Government.”
Mr. Stebbins then unveiled and attacked the ar
tifices by which the people’s money is depriecated in
the great olties. His speech concluded as follows:
11 Suppose, sir, some vast theatre, crowded with
thousands of human beings, absorbed in a dramatic
spectacle; and suppose, sir. In the midst of their
h*ppy Absorption two, three, or more voices
Should suddenly raise the appalling cry of fire, and
rush toward the narrow entrances for the street!
Poes it need any propheoy to foretell the fearful
disaster that would ensue while this frenzied multi
tude dashed at the contracted outlets, and through
the crowded cortidersl Hundreds might be crushed,
limbs be broken, numbers suffocated, while thou
sands might be robbed by the brigands who had per
petrated the calamity for the purpose of plunder.
Sir, will any one undertake to say that the building
is retUy on fire only because of the infuriated cry of
fire 1 Ho, sir! And, sir, this is precisely the case of
the people of this country.
** Puricg the past three years disloyal voices have
kept crying fire against the national finances, and
there have been convulsive movements to escape
the featful calamities said to threaten the paper
system, and wbioh is finally to be entirely demo
lished. And while this cry continues, and every
imaginable auxiliary Is used to magnetize the na
tion into such a belief, and while the masses are
rushing out of the Federal building In mad disorder,
a system of pillage has been going forward that de
fies description, and human ingenuity is taxed to its
utmost to keep up the alarm, that the spoils of the
villainy may augment, and the opportunity for
plunder be protracted vet awhile longer* Sir, it is
our solemn duty to assist in correcting this scanda-
lous state of things. The first step that we are
bound to take is to relieve the Government from
the fearful position of being a hoarder of gold. II
cannot afiord to bean instrument in the hands of
its enemies, a participator is the depreciation of its
currercy, a confederate with the speculators of the
seaboard.
“ Sir, I repeat with all the emphasis I am capable
of expressing, that in advocating every measure for
strengthening our financial system; by encouraging
the Secretary of the Treasury to persevere in carry
ing cut the ideas distinctly presented in his annual
report; by pointing out to the extent of my humble
ability the way to roll back the current that has set
in such irresistible force against the public oredit;
by pointing out the' vast resources of our country,
and showing that an issue or $400,000,000 of cmrenoy
is only a substitute for the gold and bsnk circulation
it has displaced, I fulfil my duty as a Democratic
representative.”
The Next Presidency.
A liBTTBfc FROM HO*. JOHN SHERMAN.— -The fol
lowing letter has been written by the Hon. John
Sherman to the Cincinnati Gazette:
To the Editor of the Gazette :
The letter of your correspondent, “J. J. M.,” In
the Gazette ol the 26th instant, enables me to state
my agency in the distribution of a pamphlet headed
“ The Next Presidential Election.”
A number of copies of tbls pamphlet were sent to
my room, either by mistake, or with the fraudulent
design of securing my frank in ignorance of Us
contents. They came folded and sealed in the
usual way of speeches And other documents, and
were distributed by the olerk, on the supposition
that they were quite a different dooument.
As to the Pomeroy circular, there is but one asser
tion in It that I do not believe to be true, and that
is the first. I have no doubt but Mr. Lincoln will
be eleoted. if nominated. If this circular had been
opeDly published and circulated as an appeal to the
people in behalf of Governor Chase, it would have
been entirely justifiable,
I did not know of Its existence until published.
Ido not believe in secret circulars. Ab an open ap
peal to thejudgment ofthe people, I would not have
hesitated to have franked and circulated it, even
though I do not approve of all its oontents.
X prefer the nomination of Governor Chase to
thatfof Mr. Lincoln, as I believe Governor Chase
has more executive ability than Mr. Lincoln; but I
am entirely willing to abide the notion ofthe Union
Convention at Baltimore. If Mr. Lincoln should
be nominated, be will receive my hearty support.
Very truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.
Amicable Relatione Betwbbn Messbs. Lin
coln abd Chasb.— The rumors that the relations
between Secretary Chase and Mr. Lincoln had been
disturbed by present political affairs will be set at
rest by the appearance of a correspondence between
the two, in which Mr. Chase frankly disavows
knowledge of the Pomeroy circular, and informs the
President that at the request of his friends he had
consented to beoome a candidate for the Presidency.
He then asks Mr. Lincoln if he considers that his
aetion 1* incompatible with his position as a mem
ber of the Cabinet. The President replies that he
hM not seen the olroular, and that he doesnotknow
of any aot of Mr. Chase’s inconsistent with his po>
sition as a member of bis Cabinet.
PERSONAL.
Rbv. T. Stabb King.— The sad news is received
from San Francisco tbat Rev. Thomas Starr King
died In that city of diptheria. Mr. King was born
in New York, on the 16th of December, 1824. His
father was settled in 1834 as minister of the First
Universallst Ohuroh in Charlestown, Mass. The
death or his father left the family in a great measure
dependent upon the son, who waa obliged to forego
his intention of entering Harvard College. From
the ege Ot 12 to 20, young King was employed either
ai a elerk or a schoolmaster, devoting his leisure to
theological studies. He preaohed in Woburn first
in 1846. In 1848 he was oalled to the Hollls-street
Church, In Boston, and in 1860 he sailed from New
York for California, where he has sinee resided as
pastor of a Unitarian Church In San Franolseo. Mr.
King was one of the most eloquent orators and bril
liant writers in the country. Hi* scholarship, lor
which he was indebted to no college, and which re
solved in iB6O the tardy recognition of the master’s
degree from Harvatd, was of a high order. He had
made himself thoroughly at home in California,
where he was deeply, beloved. His noble eloquenee.
and his untiring zeal had done much to kpep the
State loyal. As a lecturer he was known in every
city and laTge town of the Northern States.
General Shepnsn is described as being an Inch
less than six feet high, and about forty-five years
old. His frame is of good size, but a moderate de
velopment of musele gives him *n appearanoe of
being more slender than he really is. His hair and
eyes are dark—bis forehead high, and so exceed
ingly fair that, standing, as it does, in marked eon.
trastwlth hie hair and eyes, it ia his prominent
feature. Hit cheeks are marked with deep lines,
while Age’s crow has made a very palpable track at
the corner of either eye. A benevolent counte
nance, together with a kind and genial manner,
msecs him look more like a minister than the war
dog he is. He was formerly colonel of thd i s th
Regular Infantry, a detaohment of which Is yet
with him as a body-guard. The devotion of these
men to their old commander, which is shown on all
occasions, is not an unimportant evidence of his
worth.
—The recent appointment of General Bragg for
“consulting or advising purposes,” or, in other
words, as commander-in-chief, is not relished,
though, ouriously onougb, he la the ranking general
of tire 7- 14 “rises from a singular oompli.
cation: Generals Cooper, Lee, Beauregard, Al
bert Sidney Johnston, and Joe Johnston, were
appointed generals under the Provisional Go
vernment In 1861. The vaoanoy caused by the
death of General Sidney Johnston, who fell at
Shiloh in 1662, after the organization of the
present rebel Government, was filled by the appoint,
meat of General Bragg, and the appointment was
at once confirmed by Congress. 'Those also of
Cooper, Lee, &0., were confirmed by the same rebel
Congress, but subsequent to tbat of Bragg. Thus he
is really in rank the aommandeo-in-chlef of the regu
lar army ot the Confederate States. Davis, it is
said, admits this claim made by General Bragg’s
fflends, though be is much leas partial to that
offi'cer than generally supposed. It is highly possi
ble that General Bragg will succeed Mr. Seddon as
Secretary of War. .....

A Noted Guerilla Chieftain Feast
ed w oub City.—On Friday last, BMfU Duke, the
notoriour guerilla ohleftain and hone-thief, arrived
in this city, on his way to Fort Delaware, from Co
lumbus, Ohio, where he has been kept in durance
vile for a length of time. He was accompanied here
by major GL E. Johnson, A. D. C., and a guard of
four meni by special orders of Mftj. Gen. Heintzel
man, commanderof that department.. Five hundred
rebel prisoners arrived In the olty about the same
time, and were taken to Cbrlstlan-street wharf and
placed on board the steamer Ashland. The major
was well acquainted with this fact, and instead of
conducting Duke there, he must needs order two
rot ms at the Continental Hotel, one for the rebel
and himself, and the other for the guards, where
they could enjoy all the comforts and luxuries which
this hotel affords.
A number of the Copperheads who Infest this city,
hearing of Basil Duke’s arrival, proceeded to the
room occupied by him and the Major, and while
there entered into a friendly conversation with this
Iraitor, and, at the Bame time, indulged in liquors
of all descriptions. When this was over Chestnut
street wss promenaded and a good time had In gene
ral. Before leaving the Continental on Saturday
Duke was the recipient of numerous presents from
his sympathizing irlends. Among the articles given
was a small bundle, which the Major did not open,
although exposed to his View-
While on their way to the ddpot at Broad and
Prime, the guards were obliged to WA>k 'about
twenty paces in the rear of the offloer and prisoner,
cntil they arrived at this place, when the oars were ~
Ishen for Delaware City, and from there in a boat
to Fort Delaware, where Basil Duke was immwt -
ately confined. Major Johnson then proceeded to
Washington, and the guard to this city. Oar re
porter bad a conversation with them last evening,
and elicited the above information. They further
stated that any quantity of Catawba wine was pro
vided for all hands while on the way from Columbus
to this city, which, with other things indulged in,
could not nave coat less than one hundred dollars,
but at whose expense they were nnable to inform
us. The extreme leniency displayed on this occa
sion, to one who has been a terror to all Union
loving people in the South, Is surprising, and the

Professor Saunders’ Appeal in Bb
ssircr TH3E Vktkuan Soldibbs. —To the Editors
o/ the Evening Telcgrap ft.-—The veteran soldiers in
terested, and the undersigned, will regard them
selves under obligations to all the journals and other
newspapers of the olty which will kindly publish
the following article, containing an Important fact,
a proposition, an argument, ana an appeal:
Thb Fact.—Many veterans, belonging to Phila
delphia, at the call of the Government, instantly re
enlisted In the field, and were accredited to the city
at large, or to districts, and thus lost their elaim to
ward bounty—a bounty received'by new enlisted
men, and by veterans re-enlisted at a later date.
The Pbopobitioh.—Let the oiiy, by adding a
small fraction (about one-seventieth), to its appro
priation for city bounty, or by the contributions of
the benevolent, raise a bounty equivalent to the
ward bounty for each of these prompt and self-de
nying men.
Tub Abottment.—First, justice requires it. Men
who, having gone without any bounty, have de
fended us for more than two years, should fecclve.as
large a bounty, to say the least, as new recruits.
Second, policy requires it. It is desirable that these
veterans shall feel themselves well treated, render a
cbeeiful service, and make a favorable impression
on others soon to be called on to re-enllst as their
times expire. We may yet have, in some of our
future complications, additional need of those vete
rans, who, thoroughly instructed in their duties,
cud long inured to hardship and danger, are worth
at least twice their number of untrained, unsifted
new recruits.
The Appeal.—The writer respectfully and earn
estly requests all who read this article and approve
of the proposition, to express their opinions of it to
others, and thns create a public sentiment which, in
some way, will toon supply this equalizing bounty
to these generous and heroic men. He also begs
leave to entreat these veterans, in ease their fellow
citizens take a different view of the matter to sub
mit good-naturedly to the decision, and to remember
that the ireely devoted and patriotic expose them
selves to cold, hunger, and disease—to balls and
bayonets—not for money, grateful as such reward
may be to them, but for their country, their con
science, and the cause of humanity.
E. D. SAUNDERS.
The Supervisory Committee;—Efreply
to a communication of February 27, tbe Secretary of
War baa authorized the supervisory committee of
this city to raise another regiment of colored troops,
to be called the 43d, whioh, when completed, will be
the seventh regiment recruited by them. The 323-
was commenced on the 13th of last month sa<l now
numbers one thousand men. This may be considered
ralher quick work. The 25th regiment, which is
now quartered at Camp William PenD, will receive
marching orders in* a few days. Ouatavua A.
Sorogga, of New York, has been commissioned aa
colonel of it. The military school established by the
supervisory committee is in a flourishing condition.
Many of <the-*scholars receiving instructions here
are graduates*)! college*, and possess a good educa
tion. Among the number is the ion Of non* Henry
Wilson, United States Senator from Massachusetts.
Becruiting. —The following is a state
ment of thenumberof men muttered into the United
States service at the office of Captain Wm. B. lianq,
No. 1102 Girard street, and credited to this city
during the month of February :

6,641 men.
The report! Of the provost marshals of this city
for the same month have not yet been presented.
The number which they have mustered In will swell
the above amount considerably.
City Treasurer's Office.— Mr. Henry
Bmnm, .luce entering upon bis duties as the Trev.
surer of Philadelphia, has found his position any
thing else than sinecure- His whole time ha. beeu
occupied, on many occasions, days and night, con
secutively. The bounty fund had to he raised on a
projected loan authorized by Oity Councils. The
patriotic appeals of the Treasurer found a hearty
response hi the bosoms of patriotic capitalists, and
the money was forthwith appropriated. Last week
the sum of $381,000 was paid out to enlisted men for
bounty alone, nnder the orders of the Bounty Fund
Committee, R. P. King, E«q., chairman. This makes
nearly two-and-a-h&lf millions already paid out.

Barrington, Company B, 39th Pennsylvania Volun
teers, who injured himself severely on Tuesday last,
by falling from the back platform of oneof the Balti
more railroad ears, died from his injuries on Satur

English, and resolutions were adopted setting forth
that the question at issue has not been fairly stated
in the European press, and that, therefore, the minds
of the great American nation have been abused.
Fire.— On Saturday afternoon a slight
fire occurred in the second-story of house Wo. 1516
America street, by which the bed and (furniture
were destroyed. The room was the abode of a
