‘The plan to allow thoiadlosto express thoirprofer.
once for President of the United States, as mentioned
In The Press several weeks since, moots with favor.
A small poll-tax wilt bo required for the exorcise of
the. “right of suffrage,” and alt ladles, from tho
bright auburn youth of “sweet sixteen’.’ to those
whoso brows are wreathod in tho frosts of many:
winters, may express thoir preforonoo, without re
ference to naturalization papers. President Lin
coln will porlutpa como in for the lion’s share.
General Simon Cameron will receive somo, Henry
Olay will not ho forgotten, and it would not ho sur
prising if Daniel Webster “still lives” In the me
mory. Then, again, General. Grant, General
Hondo, General Hancock, General Butler, and
■other gallant Union generals, will unquestionably.
•receive a general, and perhaps generous, share of
votes. At all ovents, It will be a little pastime for
the visitors, and bo the means of drawing many a
tlve-cent note from the purses of the ladios.

CAPE MAT RAILROAD.
Tho advertisement in another part of to-day’s
Press oißcially sets forth new arrangements in ro
gard to the Now Jorsey Railroad lines. The most
important is that two trains run daily to Gape May,
and that a third train will he added on tho
20th instant. ■ WoJ have never boon over this
road, and therefore cannot speiik of its qualities.
Tho southern portion of tho traok was laid In August
last, and we aro informed that it Is in very good or
der. The running time between .Philadelphia- and
Capo May, as fixed by tho company, is. three and a
half hours. Congress Hall, will be opened to-day.
and several othors in a short time.. It is said that
many improvements have been made on tho Island
this season, and now, with railroad facilities, it may
be fair to pvesumo that the business will be divided
•between (jape May and Atlantic City. It is quite
likely that additional improvements will bo made
along the'track, "tor the accommodation of the

MISCELLANEOUS.
LKCTUKE liy key. COLOniiL O. JtOODT,
Hast evening Tier. Colonel G. Moody, popularly 1
known as the fighting colonel, delivered a lecture at
Mußlcal Fund Hall for the benefit of the Nine
teenth-street Methodist Church. His subject was •
“ Our Country •'Woithy our Highest Regard.”
‘ The exorcises were opened with prayer by Rev.
William Barnes. Colonel .Moody was then intro
duced. He said that by the Hrovidoneo of God
we wore living in times that try men’s souls. The
• most'uncivil or all civil, wars had been begun by
the propagation of slavery against the rights
of men born free , and' .equal;. and the find
which should bloom with flowers was drenched in
■ blood. To those who inaugurate war, it is the right
'of the oppressed to defend thomseives. The Bible
had said that they who take the sword shall perish
by the sword. God brings this evil upon nations to
eradicate evils, to make nations hotter and happier:
that' righteousness alone could exalt a nation, and
Sin waß a reproach to any people. ‘ War is heaven’s
’great ploughshare, to root up weeds and fertilise
the 'SOU 'of. nations which God had'created. Thou
sands of bravo men had gone, forth at the call of
their country, and, by the gallantry which marked
.all their,actions, spoke in eloquent language, our
’country Is worthy or our highest regard. -
Our paternity proved this also. Wo sprang from
a race of men of virtue, piety, wisdom, and saga
city. “God Sifted the nations of tho Old World
to got the precious seed to sow a nation In tho Now
World,” as Bancroft had .well said. Our country
Is worthy our highest regard, in , viow of the glorias
Which’ gather around our grand national banner.
'A thousand associations bluster around tho banner
of our country, it is' tho flag of. Washington, Leo,
Putnam, Jackson, and hundreds of others in past
.dayßl and hundreds of others in more recent times.
It is the honored banner of 1812 and 1816, when wo
'taught Britannia a lcpson that she will remember
till the end of time. They said tbat'Brltahnia ruled
-the wave, but wo taught her that .■'the .'little giant
:ln the new country was going to rule the wave. It
Heated to the breeze at Resaoado la Palma Ohepul
tepeo, :Mplinb del Rey, and Metamoros. It is the
symbol of our aehlevomonts, and tlio sacrament of
currlghts.. This, too, Is the banner of which thoßioh
momrßnqm'rer said that it should bo trampled in the
mud of every field fromYorktoivu to the Rappahan
nock, and which thoy would never again allow to float'
■'On auy part of thoir..'.Confederacy ; but, hiossed bo

Our country Is worthy our highest regard, as it Is
tho proudest, grandest nationality on the footstool
of Almighty uod. We have indeed a goodly coun
try. Our population exceeds twenty-three millions
of’souls. We enjoy tho advantages of all climates•
advanced In civil, moral, and -political scionco, and
hold in rogard by all nations on account of our influ
ence, our wealth, and our resources. Our popula
tion, by tho tirno an infrtnt of to-day reaches middle
age, our will be 110,000,000 of souls.
Our country is worthy; of our highest rogard, in
v ‘°w of T t J l * su J> r ®“>! oxcellenco or tho Govornmont
ol the UnitoiT States, bywhleh the union of tho
States was securedyand by which the perpotnit*
thereof will he maintained. Secession was a Pan
dora s box containing all tho evils possible to bo in
flicted on any people; and. If tho right of secession
was once admitted there could bo no end to it, but
It.wpuld go regularly down from' section to State,
from State to county, and from county to township,
until the old man would become separated from Ills
wife. We look upon our Union as wo look upon tho
arch of tho skies, withoot a flaw and without a pos
sibility of Improvement; and might a thousand
curses rest upon tho heads of those mon who, in our
day, attempted its dissolution.
IHRDS VS. WORMS.
There was briefly noticed in yostorilny’s Press the
fact that a vary large flock of cedar birds suddenly,
alighted on the trees in Indopondenco Square and
feasted upon worms. Tho fact furnishes material for
thought as to the manner in which the birds obtained
the knowledge of the oxistenco of tho wormson tho
stately branches within that sacred onclosuro. It,ls
vory evident that information must havo been given
them by some ono of the feathered tribe that may
'have been plncod on pick- at.duty... This;opinion Is
somewhat strengthened from an. occurrence that
came under our immediate observation several win
ters since- A heavy snow hud fallen, and the white’
mantle covered the surface ortlie earth for several
weeks, ovor a very extensive portion of the country.,
Many of tho bird creation, particularly partridges,
-perished. Tho hardy birds wore the only ones that
were able to stand tho-sovority -of the weather. Of
this class, snowbirds oxeol all othors. ■ *
It was on an oxtremoiy cold morning, tho mercury
indicating a temporaturo of about 10 degrees above
zero, that a single snowbird made its Appearance
around the kitchen window in the most friendly
manner.' It was evidently in search ofsomething
to oat, and In a short time we threw a handful of
■ canary seed on tho snow.; Tho little bird soomod to
be filled .with joy at the sight.; of such abreakfast.
It danced anil capered around In the dellriurii of
delight; it examined the. seod, tested tho quality
thereof for a fewininute vand; before It had satis
fied its hunger,- to our astonishment flow away. In
less than -ten .minutes:more than fifty of.the same
feathered tribo suddenly appeared, and soon made
short work of; tho seed. More was given thorn’: and
finally, their craws being filled to their capacity, the
birds took wing, and came again the next morning
several hundred- strong, while the snow lasted
these pretty little chirpers were welcome visitors
every morning. ,It Is very; evident that the first bird
conveyed the intelligence of the discovery of ; the
seed, and, unlike most of mankind, instead of ap
propriating all to itself, its first Impulse was -to do
unto its neighbors, as It would be done by. This
little snowbird sot an example worthy of Imitation
on tho part of beings endowed with reason, - ’ •
It Is quite likely that the cedar bird that first dis
covered these worms In Independence Square at
once convoyed tho Information, as did tho snow bird
above alluded to. As long as the worms last tho
cedar birds may be expected to visit Philadelphia
daily. AVe hoar of raids being made by them in se
veral sections of tho city, but in some instances
thoy have been frightened away because heedless
boys throw stones at them. Cedar birds thrive
mostly in New Jersey. They are of a common or
der, and therefore there is"* no special law made for
their preservation. The: law which .Imposes a.po
nalty of $5 for shooting or killing anjinsectiverous
bird ought to be sufficient to protect them.
THH I.AWES’ NATIONAL COVENANT,
The/Ladies’ National Covenant have issued an
address, pledging themselves as follows: »

DEATH OB' A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN. .
Hr. John, P. Colcord, an aged and well-known
citizen, who in his eventful life occupied many posl
tions’of honor, trust, and profit, in all of which, he
discharged his duty with great fidelity to those.who
reposed confidence in him, died on Monday, beyond
;the time allotted forraan’s age—threescore years and
ten. He was, porhaps, better known to the people
generally in tne ola District of Southwark, as a
letter-carrier many years ago. - For a long time he
was the treasurer of'the Typographical Society of
Philadelphia,, which position ne. resigned a few
•weeks since because of failing health. As ho
gradually sank into the cold embrace of Death he
was eheerftil to Jhe last moment of his time,with
faith in that resurrection always awaiting the good
:Of earth.- Mr. Colcord was an honest-man.
• PRESIDENT , \ ;
A fine steel-plate engraving of President Lincoln,
by Mr. John Sartain, from an original portrait by
Mr. E. D.’ Marchant, has just .been issued,' The
President is in a sitting’position, his right arm rest
ing on a table, a pen being held in-his right hand.
To the rear; and somewhat over the left shoulder,
is a pedestal on\ which the lower .extremity of a
draped statue occupies prominence, the foot.resting
•on a broken chain, suggesting an idea imparted
in the single word Liberty that appears upon the
pedestal. The President, it may be said, is in the
act of affixing his official signature to a State paper,
upon the lower corner of 'which, we observe the
name of William H. Seward. The likeness is good,
indicating deep thought. The original portrait was
painted at the White House in 1863, and may how,
be seen in the National Union League House, on
Chestnut street. '
CORNER-STONE.
The corner-stone of theTwcnty-fourth-ward,Union
Mission Sunday School, that was to have been laid

JOHN’S ORPHAN ASYLtW.
The festival which was to have taken place.on
Thursday last, on the grounds of the St. John’s Or
phan Asylum, in West Philadelphia, but on account
of the weather was postponed, will be held to-mor
row. A pleasant time is anticipated, and the cause
of the orphans should draw a large assemblage.
A STRANGE SIGHT.
An immense swarm of bees alighted on one of the
topmost branches of a tree, on Fourth street, oppo
site Library, yesterday afternoon.; It created quite
an excitement and not.a little merriment. A num
ber of people, fearful that our corps might he negli
gent, dropped in The Press office and announced that
there"was a stinging item to. belhad down the street.
The bees were finally successfully hived by a gentle
man attached to a neighboring store, who will no
doubt enjoy the sweets of his toil on afuture day. •

fore'the report was read the following resolution was
adopted: • ■ ■ .
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to inquire
into the expediency, of .increasing the salaries of minis

Thereport of the Committee on Missionswastaken
up, and a recommendation was made that we establish ,
a female school in Syria. T
While that part of the report to send a to
Syria was under discussion, Rev. Joseph- Beattie,
missionary from that.-country, addressed the Court on
this subject. He said that many of the. daughters of
Syria are growing up under the refinements of educa-.
tion, and to further this work in our own field, we
must have a female school carried on by our Church, so
that these girls may be trained up as companions for the *
males of our mission. As to a physician, we nave had
no helper, but we have had the help of the Great Phy
sician ;but wheu our own children are thrown upon our
care, and cast down'upoua bed.of sickness, we feel the *
loss that we..;have to sustain. The people of <
that country , regard . a physician as possessing
a power.; almost-Divine. A physician there can go
where.he pleases. They all look up to him, and he
.would be of vast benefit to the mission. We could have
accomplished a great work in the. mountains among the
Felakinif we had had a competent physician. We feel
the . loss unto this day. If'you want that mission to
progress you must .send us a physician, that.the in
terests of that field of labor may be furthered in-that
country, and that we may be encouraged in this work. *
; On that part of*tke report recommending the appoint
ment of a physician,-Bev. J. M, Willson and James .

pressed, ,;in - substance, their sympathy with their
, brethren of? the United Presbyterian Churcb, and ex
pressed a hope that tho time was not far distant when
they would be more closely united with them. They
thanked God that this great nation had at last acknow
ledged on their coin the existence of a Supreme Being,
ana said that although the" sin of slavery was a serious
evil, and was the cause of the troubles that were upon
us, thatlhe sin of practically ignoring the existence Of
God was a far greater crime.
The moderator responded happily, in which he hoped
that the time would shortly, come that the brethren of
both churches could set down at onb communion table,
and closed by giving them a hearty welcome and % seat
in the body. ‘ : .

A very neatly-dressed, modest-looking, and well
behaved young female was arraigned yostorday
afternoon on tno charge of picking pockets. The
accused was bound over to appear at the Central
Slntlon, on Thursday afternoon, before Alderman
Doitlcr.
A colored woman named Elizabeth Hill
raigned at the Central Station, yesterday, by De
tective Levy, on the charge of being a house thief.
Sho has boon living at several places, rocenlly, at
or near Germantown, from which she and various
articles of value mysteriously disappeared together.;
Mr. Levy set a trap for her, and yostorday sho fell,
into it. Instead-of accompanying him to his house,
as a servant, .she was taken to the Central Lock-up.
Upon recognizing her position, she almost turned
pale. HorTrunkwas captured, and it was found to
contain articles of wearing apparel supposed, to,
have been stolen. ■
■William Brtulshaw was arraigned yesterday on
the charge of the iareeny of S3OO, hoionglng to
Thomas Dalton, whom defendant had enlisted in
tho naval sorvico, credited to the State of Now.
Jersey. After Dalton was enlisted, he gave do--
fondant a power of attorney to .collect tho bounty
money, and then went aboard tho vessel, to which
place tho money was to be taken. For this servico,
Bradshaw wit 3 to receive the sum ; or $5O, leaving
$250 for Dalton. It is alleged that on this power of
attorney the money was paid, and that Bradshaw
retained possession of It. The aecu3cd was hold in:
tho sum of $1,500 bail to answer atconrt. Com
modore Stribling, who commands the navaistation,
says that quite a number of naval enlisted men have
been treated the same way. and that the parties
cannot bo convicted because tho men are sent away
in. the service of tho country, and consequently
cannot proseento. In this case, the Commodore sig
nified his intention to keep Dalton at this port ft
reasonable length of time to prosecute tbc case.
Alderman,. Garter expressed .lus willingness to re
lume' tlio case to the law officer of tho Common-
