The fourth of July In Philadelphia.
A delightful breeze from the clear northwest, at
dawn on Monday, gave unmistakeable evidence of
the approach or a beautiful day. As the sun ap
peared above the horizon the breeze freshened, and
the stars utd stripes unfurled their beauty towards
the great luminary, from house tops and poles, in•
such countless numbers that Philadelphia appeared
like an immense city of flags. -
The day thus ushered in, by the elements was fur
ther celebrated by the firidg of guns and the ringing
or bells, whose mingling tunes cheered the bosom tit'
every patriot within the sound thereof. It may be
said that the celebration commenced as the clock
struck 12 on Sunday night, for such a general dis
charge of small arms, in all parts of the city, was
seldom heard on any "Fourth of July in the morn
ing." Besides the generaljoy that prevailed, there
were three homicides, of what degree will remain
to be decided by the 'law officers of the Common
wealth. The particulars of these cases will be
found under their appropriate heads.
There were also a number of accidents from vari
ous causes, the facts of which are recorded in this
day's Press.
Thousands of our citizens remained at home, but
many thousands of others availed themselves of
short excursions to Gloucester Point and other
popular resorts in New Jersey. Atlantic tJlty came
In for a large share of excursionists, who took pas
sage in all ilte trains to the Seaside City.
Al. night the display of fireworks, in which it
seemed as though everybody had joined, presented
.a beautiful appearance over the city. As tkr as the
'vision could extend the scene was lively and Inte
resting, It looked as 11 the oily was a vast pano
rama of meteors or shooting ;stars. Balloons tra
versed the splice above, or catching fire, were con
sutued. Then, besides this, there was a continual
rattle of small arms, and Young America was in
glory.
I M =I
The followinl are some of the most interesting in
noltlantr.or. the ay.: -
'At six o'cine a splendid neg . was raised to the top
Of the tall pole on the Scoond National Bank, at
frankfort). It was run to the truck In true man-of
war style, and the repo being pulled the glorious
emblem unfurled its beauty in the, morning sun
beams, brighter than which never unrolled the cur
tain of nieht. A large concourse of people were
present, Who cheered loud and long as the great em.
Wm of - liberty waved in the breeze of heaven. At
the sante...time a salute was fired by the Decatur
Fire CoMpnny, who brought a field piece to the
place for the purpose; The National Brass Band,
of Frankford, immediately struck up the Star Span
gled Banner, the music of which was cheered to the
very echo. After this the gathering was addressed
by lieu. Edward G. Lee, in a soul-stirring speech,
full of tire and patriotism, in which, among other
things, he snld that Ito thought a public school
house and a national bank were among the most
appropriate places on which to place the national
emblem. Be also made allusion to several in
stances of heroic devotion to the flag, the most
touching being that of Parson Brownlow's daugh
ter. At the close of the speaker's address, three
cheers were given for thi hag, and amidst the music
and firing of the gun the crowd slowly 'dispersed, as
if reluctant to leave the scone.
TIM TARS OF COLUKRIA-PARADE, DINNER,
AND SEEECII OF WELCOME
A number of sailors who belong to the naval ves
sels in port bad a grand parade on the Fourth of
July, with banners and flags, and the Jefferson
Uprnet Band. After passing over a .pretty Jong
route, and visiting the Naval Asylum, where seine
of their wounded shipmates are, the preeeision
again took up the line of march, and proceeded to
the Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. An excellent
dinner was set, and a more joyous party never as
sembled at a festive scene. The sailors sung in full
chorus the national song, the "Red, White, and
Blue." This was rendered with the most thrilling
effect. The guests were welcomed by. Daniel
Dougherty, Enq., In substance as follows :
In the name of the ladles and gentlemen of the com
mittee, I bid you welcome to the hospitality of the
Union Refreshment Saloon. Though thousands,
eye, hundreds of thousands of gallant soldiers, in
companies and regiments, have afforded us the
pleasure of greeting them here, you jolly tars,
brave men and true Americans, have been far be
yond our reach. When, after a long voyage, you
touch the shore, you scatter like the spray and
never meet again until, the leave of absence over,
the ship weighs anchor and you again are outward
bound.
Therefore, we rejoice to have you with us on this
memorable day, and to tell you of the deep debt of
gratitude that not alone 'the Citizens of Philadel
phia, but all good people of the Union, owe the
American sailor.
You soldiers of the sea have seen the worth of
other lands and prize the glories of your own. You
know that while wealth and power far away aro
centered in a few, that alone aro equal rights
and liberty Mr all. 'You have served the nation in
peace and war, encircled the world with your patri
shown your fidelity in every fighr, and proved
that American sailors can whip the mistress of the
When the sun of the revolution was yet rising
the gallant boys of the Bon Hommo Richard
grappled with the Seraphs, fought hand to hand,
and made her strike her colors and surrender In
sight of the British shore.
In the wars of Tripoli and 01 , 12, waged for sailors'
rights, Decatur, Perry, Bainbridge, McDonough,
Hull, and their officers and men, flung a halo of
glory around our history that time can never dim.
The deathless deVotton of the sailor spoke in
Lawrence, who,writhing in agony,cried out "Don't
give up the ship!" The boundless patriotism that
despises the quibbles of party, and spurns State
lines and sections, burst from the lips of Decatur,
My country,reqshe over bo right ; but right or
wrong, my coun
In this tremendous struggle for the life of the
Union the services of the sailor will never be for
gotten as long as a keel cuts the wave or the wind
swells a sail.
The leading traitors-were the pet children of the
Republic, reared in her arms, educated at her ex
pense, and pledged to revere her as their parent, yet
these Oein-like ingrates, also to all faith, have be
trayed, insulted, and bathed in blood the banner they
bud sworn to honor and to love; but you, who in
service of the Union have known nothing-but hard
ships and rough-weather ; you whose brawny backs
once felt the lash that Southern Senators strove not
to abolish, are true to the last, willing to bleed and
ready to die in defending the stars and stripes. At
Hatteras Inlet and Roanoke Island, Port Royal,
New Orleans, Island No. 10, Port Hudson and
"Vicksburg, you yourselves have written on letters
of tiro'and carnage that treason must be crushed
and our Union triumphant. When the rebel ram
came out, you gallant boys, God bless you! made
her your prize, and brought her Into port; aye,
when our glorious armies have by the chances of
battle been forced to retreat, they have always
found safety when within the shelter of the navy's
guns. •
Once more into the service, bravo blue-Packets,
once more and victory is ours. Even should the
day be against us, do as you of the Cumberland did,
tiro your last shot as the guns touch the water, and
then going aloft, shout for the Bag as the ship goes
down. But at that moment when all seems lost the
Great Monitor of the Universe will save our Union,
strike the traitorous enemy, and sink him in a sea
-of everlasting infamy. I close. with the thrilling
words of your song :
"May the service united ne'er sever,
But each to his colors prove true,
The army and navy forever—
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue. "
CAMP WILLIAM PENN.
Our National birthday was celebrated by the
colored troops at Chelton Hills with great spirit,
and to the enjoyment of many visitors from the city
and neighborhood. Much merriment was caused
by laughable efforts to climb a eeased pole. The
iuccessful man was to be rewarded for his slippery
exertions with a live-dollar greenback. The ever
attractive sack race, wheeling the barrow blind
folded, and kindred amusing sports, were the order
Of the day with the men, the more. serious_ part of
the exercises being speeches by W. H. Maurice,
Esq., and Rev. F. L. Robbins. The band belonging
'to the post discoursed excellent music in the in
tervals, with infinite credit to the performers,
whose organization only dates back some six weeks.
The evening closed with a brilliant display of fire- .
works. The large number of invited guests wore
full of admiration of the neatness of the camp, and
the excellent general arrangement of the barracks,
for which the gentlemanly commandant, Col. Louis
Wagner, is entitled to the greatest credit.
This camp bits furnished some 7 3 000 men to the
army, some of whom, by their distinguished valor
before Petersburg, developed tho soldierly qualities
lira instilled at Camp William Penn.
THE HOSPITALS
The Fourth was celebrated with vigor at the va
rious United States Army Hospitals in and around
the city. American flags were hung in the different
rooms, and displayed from the poles on the • outside.
v' The soldiers seemed as happy as larks, notwith
standing their wounds and sickness. Tho meals
were unusually good on that (lay, as the neighbors
deposited same of the delicacies which soldiers very
seldom get.
At the Haddington Hospital; a national salute of
thirty-four guns was fired. About three o'clock in
the afternoon, a meeting was organized In the woods
adjoining the hospital, which opened with prayer
,by the chaplain, Rev. L. R. Berridge. The , .
atton of independence was then rend by Professor

and benediction by Dr. Ducachet. This bairig j'
the soldiers partook of a substantial meal, which
bad been previously provided by the liberality of the
citizens of the neighborhood.
A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY
Messrs. Evans Ag. Hassell, proprietors of, the large
military establishment, on Arch street With their
characteristic liberality and public spirit, contribu
ted by far the most tasteful and elaborate decorative
feature of the day. The front of their lofty ware
house and tkeatreet from side to side, were gay with
the colors of the Union, the display of flags and
bunting having represented many thousands of dol
lars In value. Throughout the:day crowds of citizens
were attracted to this locality by these patriotic
drapings, end the comments elicited were at once
suggestive of the taste of this well-known firm, and
the reverence of our people for "the dear old Bag."
The old dry-goods house of Messrs. Eyre S: Lundell,
on the corner of Fourth and Arch streets, also made
a display that attracted much attention.
THE ANION LEAGUE HOUSE

The Olub Hoene was handsomely Illuminated,
'there being en archway of living tiro over the door

the•national emblem, and a happy time generally
prevailed.
NATIONAL SALUTE
A detachment of the Union Artillery of Philadel
phia Bred a salute of 37 guns on the morning of the
Fourth instant, on a lot at 19th and Callowhlll
streets. The reports of these guns wore hoard some
distance below the city. The pieces used were the
Gratin guns, loaned by Major Witmer, and wore
under the command of Lieut. .1. S. Jenks.
PARADE
The Gray Reserve Reghnent of this city, under
the command of Colonel - Charles Smith, rondo .a
street, parade on the Fourth. They turned out a
large number, and made a very creditable display.
The men marched with precision, and received the
plaudits of lookers on.
GLOUCESTER POINT.
Many of the scones around Gloucester Point are
described to us as having been decidedly disnating
on Fourth of July afternoon and evoning. Largo
numbers of women of doubtful reputation were
there, and from all accounts it appears many of
them drank liquor to groat excess. Modesty draws
a veil over the scene. It was a sort of Mephisto
-- philean revelry, too disgraceful for further notice.
CASUALTIES
As is natural on every Fourth of July, this Fourth
'did not puss away without numerous accidents 00-
•curring, and roost of them from the careless using of
firearms. The following persons were injured:

MILITARY.
MEETING. OF OLD SOLDIERS
The soldiers of the War of ISI2 held a meeting,-in
the Supreme Court room, on Monday morning. Peter
Hay, president, occupied the chair.
Colonel J. Ross Snowden offered the following:
Rea°!red, That we hare heard with sincere regret of
the death of the following members since our last meet
ingolz: Peter Clusey. Frederick Erdman William B.
Geyer, George Link, Christopher Coon. Death is thin
ning the ranks of our association, and admonishes us
all of the uncertaintrof life and the necessity of prepa
ration for the future world.
The resolution was adopted.
The following were elected members:
Henry Greed; H. P. Itlitchell,. N.E. Bayne?, Isaac
Barnes, Isaac Ashmead, Thomas Temple, Benjamin
Mifflin, Edward B. Thompson.
Captain George Emeriek, on behalf of the Execu
tive Committee, reported the following, which were
seconded by Colonel O. G. Ohilds, and unanimously
adopted:
By the favor of a merciful Providence, thdasso
eta tion of defenders of the war of 1312 have boon
once more permitted to assemble on this sacred
ground to celebrate the eighty-eighth anniversary
of American Independence, unquestionably tho
most momentous event of a temporal nature that
has ever occurred in the history of the world. Otre
have assembled under truly solemn circumstances.
Our thinned ranks too clearly attest that since our
last meeting the angel Of death has been doing his
appropriate work. Seventeen of our active mem
bers rind,a large number of old soldiers, not connect
ed with our. association, have passed front this into
another state of existence.
. .
Our whole land is desolated by war and shrouded in
mourning, many of our sons anti grandsons are in
the tented field engaged in bloody conflict' with
former fellow-citizens, in some instances with rela
tives and friends. many of them having shed their
blood in upholding the Stars and Stripes ; and the
nation is groaning under the burdens necessarily
imposed to sustain the Government. When we last
met we flattered ourselves that we perceived seine
gleams of sunshine breaking through the dark
clouds of war; but although our expbctations have
hitherto been sadly disappointed, we are reluctant
to relinquish the pleasing hope that the good - cause
will eventually triumph, the Constitution be firmly
established, the Union be restored, and peace, and
prosperity, anti freedom once more bless our beloved
country.
Since our last meeting nothing of special interest
to our association has occurred,
if we except the
gratification we experienced in having the privilege
of uniting in the splendid military parade on the 22d
of February. Our participation was a suggestion of
the moment; no preparatory arrangements had
been made, and therefore many of our members wore
deprived of the pleasure of uniting with us. Tosuch
we may be permitted to say, that we were assigned
by the commanding general an honorable position
in the line, and were greeted during the march with
many tokens of respect from the immense concourse
of citizens who thronged the streets through which
the procession passed. Altogether it was a highly
gratifying scene. We submit a few resolutions and
sentiments :
Resolved, That -although the anticipation entertained
hr us at-our meeting to February, of a speedy suppres
sion of the rebellion. and the restoration of peace.have
not yet been realized, and a war of immense propor
ttons continues lobe waged, carrying death and desola
tion in its trivia, filling the whole laud with widows and
orphans, and necessarily imposing heavy burdens upon
the people, we still cherish the hope that by the bless
ings of the Almighty, and a wise and energetic policy
on the part of the National administration, the Union
will be restored in all its original purity, a consumma
tion devoutly to be _desired by every true friend of hu
man freedom.
Resolved, That the thanks of the old soldiers are due
to our State Legislature for the provision that was made
at its late session for the relief of some poor and decrepid
veterans of ISIS, thus smoothing the pillow of some
whose sons and grandsons have shed their blood in the
present war.
Resolved, That the unparalleled liberality of our-eili
'Eno In pouring out their money without stint. by the
Sanitary and Christian. Commissions, as well ae by de
voting their personal services on the field of battle, as
welt as in the military hospitals, to supply the wants
and alleviate the sufferings of our sick and wounded
soldiers, strikingly exemplifies the tree spirit of genu
ine philanthropy, and is above all praise.
A number of patriotic toasts were then Offered.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President—Peter Hay.
Vice Presidents—Captain William T. Elder, Col.
John S. Warner, Captain John Heller, Col. Robert
Onrr, Thomas Mellon, James Peters, 001. John

Treasurer—James Renners.
Executive Committee—Captain George Emerick,

The Declaration of Independence was then read
by Colonel Robert Carr, aged eihty-three years,
formerly of the 15th United Status Infantry, the
oldest member, and only surviving officer of the
war of 1812 in the States of Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey, and Delaware.
Colonel Carr then read tho remarks made by
Alexander U. Stephens at the Georgia Convention
in November, 11300, in which he argued against
secession.
A vote of thanks to Colonel Carr was passed, and
the meeting adjourned.
DETAILED ON A COURT MARTIAL
Colonel James Gwyn, 118th Regiment Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, having been detached from his
regiment, has been detailed as a member of a court
martial now convened in this city, and will remain

- had command during all the heavy battles under

g. onerous auspices it was raised and placed in the
field.
FOR INVALID PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS
Dr. George H. Mitchell, the surgeon In &ergs of
the Iladdington United States Army Hospital, is
taking measures for tho erection of a hospital for
Invalid Pennsylvania soldiers, something similar to
the United States Naval Asylum in this city. The
plan Is an excellent ono, and cannot he too highly
commended to-the attention of the community.
SOLDIERS KILLED
About seven o'clock on Monday evening a soldier,
named John Lafferty, aged 32 years, was killed by
jumping from the fourth-story window of the bar
racks at Fifth and Buttonwood streets.
A soldier attached to the Obestnut HUI United
States army hospital, was killed on Mondy after
noon. It seems that he was up a cherry trio in the
vicinity of the hospital, appropriating the fruit to
himself, when the owner of the land oame out of the
house with a gun and shot him dead.
ARRIVAL OF MK AND WOLINDED SOLDIERS.
About four hundred sick and wounded soldiers ;

CRICKET. MATCH'.
A match game of cricket, for a new ball, between
the Washington Cricket Club, of Washington, and
the second - eleven of the Philadelphia Cricket Club
came off on Monday afternoon, on the grounds of
the latter, in Camden. A number of persons had
assembled there to witness the contest, which was
very close and exciting. The bowling on both sides
was noCup Oo the mark. Several of the bowlers in
dulged in the child's play of rolling the balls along
the ground. If such a practice is continually kept
up, the beautiful and sc entitle game of cricket will
soon lose its hold upon the public in general. Lot
there be more practice in round-arm bowling. A
short time would make a player very effectli,:e in
this way. The bowling of the Americans is some
what inferior to that of the Englishmen, and a little
more attention to this particular point would raise
us over the fathers of cricket. The following tstho

There was only one witness examined, who did
not seem to know much about the affair. The place
whore the tragedy took place Is a shoemaker board
ing house, No. US Lombard street. According to
the evidence of Mr. John Bell, it MOMS that O'Neill
entered the house tiboutseven o'cloc k on Monday eve;
ning, and said that he was a soldier, and asked Force
what he was. Some words passed, and Force struck
O'Neill. The latter got a shoemaker's glazing knife,
when both men engaged in a struggle, and Force
threw O'Neill and kicked him twice. O'Neill called
for assistance for some time ; ho got two knives, and
struck Force in the thigh and also in the groin. 'This
was all the light thrown upon the subject.
Force was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
where he died in a short time. It was found that
the femoral artery had been severed. We are In

Samuel White, known as Quaker Sam, had a final
hearing yesterday afternoon, at the Central Station,
on the charge of dealing In counterfeit notes. The
particulars of this case were printed In The Press of
Monday. The accused was committed to answer.
Patrick Mahone was arrested late on Sunday
tight, by Officer Sheer, of the First district, on the
charge of stabbing Michael Mahone, at a house near:
Otsego and Moore streets, in the First ward. It
seems that Michael hails from Easton, Pa., and he
arrived In Philadelphia on Sunday, for the purpose
of spending the Fourth of July here. The parties
are brothers. Both went out on Sunday evening,
and soon became drunk under the malign Influenee
of the wretched liquor to be obtained in low plages.
They reached home at a late hour, and all that s.eoms
to be known about the stabbing is that while the
two brothers were going up-stairs ono stabbed the
:ether. The wound is severe. Patrick was comsat
.ted, and the wounded person was taken to the hos
'pltal.

STABBING CASE. •
A boy named Lewis Matthews was arraigned on
the Fourth of July on the charge of stabbing another
boy•in the back with a knife; during aj uvulae fight
in the Nineteenth ward. The wound was not con
sidered dangerous. The prisoner was committed to
await the result of the Injuries to the wounded boy.
Patrick Carr was committed yesterday. on the
charge of shooting Patrick Smith. Both the parties
were friendly neighbors, and resided in a small
street not far from Eleventh and Christian streets.
It seems that on Fourth of July evening a pistol
went off in the hands of Carr. The hall took erect
in the neck of Smith, and death ensued In a few mi
nutes. • The prisoner admitted to the Alderman that
he shot Smith, but said that it was purely itooldent
al. They were ' friends had no quarrel, and no cause
whatever to shoot. lie said that ho was merely ex
amining the pistol and it went off accidentally. The
prisoner is held to await - .the Coroner's investiga
tion.. . .
Commonwealth vs. Henry J. David. The de
feudant, on an indictment found in 1853, is charged
with obtaining money under false pretenses. The
offence was alleged in the indictment to have been.
committed in 1855. Yesterday the defendant, by
his counsel, filed a dermirrer to the indictment, lay
ing the ground therein that the statute of limitation
provides that all prosecutions for misdemeanors
shall be commenced - within two years from the time
of the commission of the offence, and not thereafter.
The case was fully argued by District. Attorney
Mann and Horatio Hubbell, Esq., for the Common- .
wealth, and by Esl. 11. Weil and Dennis W. O'Brien,
Esq., for the defendant.
Judge Allison, after consulting with his col
leagues, Judges hompson and Ludlow, who hap
pened to be upon the bench, decided that advantage
of the provisions of the statute must be taken by
plea. The demurrer was therefore overruled.
Tho other cases disposed of during the day, but
two or three in number, were of no interest.
