Adopted. National OnriiANs' Homestead. A beautilul and impressive scene was witnessed on Sabbath last, at the Central' Presbyterian Church, corner of Eerhtk and Cherry streets. The Sabbath Schools of this church have con tributed largely towards the Home about to be inauguxate.l at Gettysburg tor the orphans of soldiers who have fallen in their country's de fence. Many ot the Sunday Schools of the country, ot all denominations, have contributed to this taoje worthy object, and are entitled, for every twenty-live dollars given, to name an orphan as candidate lor admission into the Home. On the ocension referred to, two little child ren of a biavo soldier who fell at Gettv3burg were presented before the scholars as their re presentatives in the Home. They were intro duced by Father Martin, one of the secretaries of the Association, who made appropiiate remarks. Judge Tierce, one of the Superintend ents of the schools, responded in a very leeling manner. He had l.iuiBelf been lett an orphan at an early period, and he could appreciate somewhat the value of such a holy charity. The contribution they had made was not equal to its worthiness, or at all commensurate with its cla ius. Think of what the lathers of those who were to be the Inmates of the Home at Gettysburg had done to protect our homes and save our country I It becomes us well to give much tender thought for the children of those who bled lor the great cause of freedom, and died that we might live as a nation. He referred tourhingly to the little fatherless ones before him. There were few dry eye3 when he had done speaking. The pastor of tlie church, Rev. Dr. Re2d, next made a solemn appeal to the congregation. He himseli had lost a brother on the field ot Gettys burg, where the lifeless body of Humiston was found grasping the pictures of his three chil dren. The sympathy of the public, excited by Sergeant Humiston's case, had been the means of founding the Home, and his three children were to be iu mates, besides the many others whose fathers had fallen In the same holy cause. At the close of his tender remarks a fervent prayer was offered by Father Martin lor the little ones and all present, when the two children and their mother were placed on the platform, and hundreds of scholars and adults came forward and took them by the hand. The scene was solemn and affecting in the extreme, and will neter be forgotten by those who were present. Democratic akd Consebtative Meet ing. Under a call headed "Attention, White Men," and announcing that General Sweeney and others would speak to the Democracy and Conservatives in front of IndeDendence Hall. there was a large gathering at that place last . evening, and speaking from two 6tands. l At one of the stands there was an organization vy me eeiecuou oi air. jonu Keen an as chair man.

General Sweeney, who was announced to yieak, did not make his appearance, but Mr, John M. Harrington, of New York, was Intro duced as his , representative, and announced himself as a bard-bbell Democrat, who had never, and would never, bo anything else. He fpoke of the justice of receiving the represen tatives of the Southern States again iuto the councils of the nation, and referred to the de claration of Abraham Lincoln, that he had sent his IceioDs forth, to drive them buck and not to force them away. Mr. Harrington asserted that the Democratic party had always been the war party, and that it had brought the country safely out ol the lute contest.
