Proposals have been issued for the construction of a turnpike across the marsh trom the main land to Atlantic City. The com pletion of the road by the 1st of July is de manded of the contractor. Much of the stock is already taken, and success is no longer pro blematical. This improvement must give an immense impetus to the progress of Atlantic City, as it will afford a pleasant drive of seven miles, where a pleasant sea breeze can be en joyed all the way. This road will also afford excellent facilities to the shore farmers for bringing fresh truck and vegetables to the market, A Philanthropic Work.

CITY INTELLIGENCE l For Additional Local Items see Third Page. The following important circular to Cotton Brokers was issued this morning: Colibctor's Office, United States Internal ItiVENUE, First District Pennsylvania. No. 419 Cbebnut Street. Philadelphia., Februarv 24. The attention of cotton brokers Is cai'ed to tbe tact that the rogn'ations ol tbe Treasury Dopartment re quire that cotton, packed In bales, shall contain a metal tn? or Inspection label, sbowlair that the In . tornal Kevenue taxes on the ssme have boon paid, attested by tho Collector of Intornal Revenue of the l?8trict trom whence the cotton is shipped. In addl .' tlon to this, all consignments of cotton should he ac companied by a permit from tbe Co'leetorot Internal Kevenue of tbe District from whence the cotton is shipped, describing the marks and numbers on the bales, tholr weight, and certifying that the Internal ' Bevenuo taxes on the same have been paid, and granting permission for removal. Information has been received at this effloe that considerable quan tities of cotton have been sent to this market with out complying with ttie regulations of tho Dopart ment in this particular, no Inspection lablsboing on the bales, and no pormits forwarded with the con signment. The absonco of these proofs that the In ternal Kevenue taxes have been paid renders toe cotton liable to seizure by Collectors of Internal Revenue, no matter in whose hands tound. Jon H. taooart, Collector First District I'ennsylvauia. A Deserved Compliment. The tom mittee who have charge of the procuring of a proper representation of the battle of Gettys burg to hang in our State Capitol, have so far progressed in their work as to nave selected the artist. Mr. Eothcrmel, of this city, has been chosen, and we do not think it could have fallen in better hands. Mr. Rothprmel stands at the very head of the historical painters of the day, and Lis exquisite pencil will do ample justice to the grand subiect. Our earlier artists made their reputation by depicting the battle scenes of the Revolution, and those living atthe present day have great opportunity to excel their prede cessors, inasmuch as their field of operation is so much more extensive. We expect that tbe forthcoming picture will entirely eclipe any of Mr. Rothermel's previous efforts, for the theme ought to inspire the dullest artist, and we are satisfied that Mr. Rothermel's genius is able to cope with the magnitude of the subject. Charged wrrn Robbing a. Shoe Store. A youth named Robert Cressman, fifteen years of age, was arrested yesterday afternoon on sus picion of larceny. lie had in his possession -when taken into custody a pair of ladies' gaiters, lie was conveyed to the Fifteenth Ward Station House, when he was identified bv an officer as being engaged recently in the robbery of a shoe store in Reading. He was taken buck to that city for trial. Two young men came to town from Reading last evening, and took lodginss in stable in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Callowhlll streets. They were arrested, and conveyed to the Station House, charged with being accomplices of Cressman in the robbery of the shoe store at Reading. A Soi-dieb Commits Suicide. A re turned soldier naoied James Hall, aged 31 years, cut his throat last nicrht about ;12 o'clock, in a cell of the Nineteenth Ward Station House. It anpears that Hall, who belonged to Company B, 20th Maine Volunteers, and who resided at Bel fast, Maine, was on his way home, but got leit bv the New York train latt evening.

Highly Important I Visit to Jeff. Davis! St artlino Disclosu res I From our own Special. Passing by Fortress Monroe yesterday, I took occa sion to drop in for a call npon the ex-President of the late lamented Conlederute bta;e. Mr. Davis is looking quite o'd. Many ascribe this to his treatment here; but I think it probably arisen lrom the tact that he was born in 1808. When I entered bis aparimont, he was sitting npon a chair which stood upon ttie floor. He had one band on his knee. This position, however, is not eempultory, and he varies it at will. I said. "How do you do, sir?" He said, "Pretty well, Cius, how are youT" I do not know why he called me that; Augustas is not mv name. I then said, "Sir. tere are msny conflicting rumors concerning your treatment In this place. Have you anything to complain oif" He said. "Youn? man, I should think I had." Sa'd I, "Of what?" Said he, " Of being lockod up " "How do they feed you?" tasked. "On victuals motly," he answered "Do the buns trouble you?" I asked. "Tea, when they bite me," ca d he. I observed there was no Persian carpot on the floor, neither did I notice a rocking c air. Talcing my Jovo of him, 1 said, "Can I do anything foriou?'' "Yes." said he. send me the 'Bonk of Cuttings' I see advertised by Charles Stokes & Co , the Clothiers under the Continental Motel, rnuaaolpuia. vvitn this request my interview closod. W. & B.
