To the Pelect and Ooinraoii Councils of Phi In. uelphia. Gentlemen: I transmit herewith a com munication received from the Secretary of the Mavy, under date of April 12 h, 1HII7, and the Re Tort of the Hoard rtppoln't-d by the President of the United States "to conMder the propriety of ac cepting league Island and adjacent property and rights lrom the city ol 1'lulndeipbia for naval pur. poses." In presenting these documents to Councils, I feel that the occasion is a proper one for tendering you my congratulations that a business which has involved so ranch labor, anxiety and trouble to the people of Philadelphia, has, with the excep. tlon of some merely formal details, been brought to a successful close. When It is remembered that Secretary Welles, and his skllfnl and Intel Jigent Assistant, Mr. Fox, lor broad national reasons, have uniformly and steadily insisted on the selection of league Island as the sice of a great naval depot, and that the ablest and most expe rienced men ol all pursuits aud professions have time and uguln pronounced in favor ol its superior suitableness lor all naval purposes, it Is dilllcult to lealize that years have been wasted In etljrls to induce the nation, through Its represento.il ves, even to accept It as a gilt. Hud It been ottered lor sale, and a deputed question of price, growing out of a leal or alleged exorbitance of demand, had arisen. some color of apology might have been found for i this procrastination; but, as It was proposed to oen low ii witnont any equivalent beyond the good 11 wonia uo tne republic at large, no sued excuse Is admissible. 1 he Board which has just reported, with "en tire unanimity," in favor of Its acceptance, was composed of gentlemen eminently quali fied by education, training, character, position and opportunity, to render a sound, impartial and decisive judgment In the premises. It com. prised officers of the highest rank and the amplest attainments in the naval, military, engineering and scientific service of the United States. The clear and lucid statement of the processes by which it reached its conclusion shows how thorough were its examinations and deliberations; and tQe terse and vigorous announcement of that conclu sion, viz : that "in respect to Its geological, topo graphical, and bydrogrupbical condition; in re spect to defence; in respect to the practical busi ness and wants of navy-yards, docks, and dock yards for vessels of wood and iron, and in respect to Its adaptation for all naval purposes whatever," League Island abundantly satisfies every require ment, furnishes a complete vindication of the wis dom and generosity of the municipal authorities of Philadelphia, and the organizations which co operated wim them, in continuing, session after session, to urge a reluctant or indiQerent Congress to perioral its duty in a matter in which, as this report demonstrates, the interests of the whole country were and are deeply and intimately con. cerned. As the Searetary of the Navy has olllcially In formed me that 'I'he Department is uow prepared to accept the title to League island" and the adja cent property and rights, as provided for in the act ol Congress, 1 respectfully recommend Coun cils to take such action as will most speedily pro mole that end. Morton McMicuabl, Mayor. Navy Departmknt, April 12, 1807. Sir In accordance wl'h the provisions of an act of Congrets approved February 19, lhti7,acopy of which is annexed, marked A, the President of the United States, upon the t-ih ultimo, appointed a board, consisting of Kear Admiral Charles H.

N., to con sider the propriety of accepting League Island and adjacent properly and rights from the city of Philadelphia tor naval purposes. The Board was directed, should they determine to recommend the acceptance of the property, to inform the Department how much, in their opinion, of "the opposite shore of the back chan nel from the Leugae Island shore" would be "ample to enable the government to have the sole and exclusive use of suid back channel and both shores thereof." After a very careful examination of all the ques tions Involved, both directly and incidentally, the Board does not hesitate to recommend the accept ance of League Island and adjacent property lrom the city of Philadelphia, to be held lor naval pur poses by the government of the United States. A copy of their report Is herewith inclosed, marked B. As authorized by Congress, the Department is now prepared to accept "the title to League Island, in the Delaware river, and adjacent marsh land, including the whole of the creek known as the back channel, 'from the Schuylkill to the Delaware river, and all the riparian rights and privileges of said League Island, adjacent marsh and back channel, together with so much of the opposite shore of the back channel from the League Island shore" as is described in the report of the Bourd, and which Is considered necessary "to enable the government to have sole and exclusive use of said back chancel and both shores thereof," as pro vided In the act of Congress, the same "to be held for naval purposes by the government of the United Slates."

The action of tbat body has been published in all the newspapers ot the country. It has been eminently acceptable to tbe toes ol intemperance all though the common wealth, and in order to ratify the action of tbat convention a public meeting was last night held at tbe Academy of Music. It was a brilliant and densely packed concourse tbat there assembled. The entire auditorium was tilled, and the only vacant Bpace was in the fourth gallery tar up beneath tbe roof trees. The various organizations of Sons ot Temperance alone could have tilled a dozen such buildings as our Aca demy, and many persons anxious to obtain seats were compelled to turn away. Tbe platform was occupied by prominent hu manitarians, clergymen and officers of the State Temperance Society. Tbe latter body had been In session in tbls city since last Wednesday after, noon, and only adjourned in time to be In attend ance at this brilliant meeting. A strong force of tbe judiciary was present, lending moral influence to the cause so eurnestly pressed upon the commu nity by the State Temperance Society. There was present a tine orchestra last night, that lent additional attraction to tbe scene. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by Mr. Joseph Martin, who announced the officers ot the meeting, as follows: President Hon. Judge Allison. Vice Presidents (one from each ward) Thomas T. Taeker, Dr. Andrew Nebinger, Dr. Francis Condie, R. J. Pollock, Dr. George H. Burgin, Hiram Ward, John Bardsley, John Hicks, Wm. E. Ten Broeck, Judge Peirce, Garrettson Smith, George C. Bowers, Thomas Cochran, William B. Thomas, Thomas Potter, William B. Wood, John Birely, John Bromley, Henry Dlston, Nathan L. Jones, W. H. Stokes, Edward G. Lee, H. P.M. Bikinblne, Thomas Wiggln, Wm. J. Pollock, Dunlel Steinmetz. secretaries Robert M. Fonst, John E. M. Har row, J. Newton Pierce. Judge Allison, in obedience to the call, took the Chair, and In gracetul and polished terms pro claimed the Importance ot the temperance cause, announced hissieadlust determination ever to sus tain it, and closed with an eulogium upon tbe Governor of this commonwealth, who lrom his boyhood had been an advocate and practiser of toial abstinence. Rev. Mr. Torrence, of the Pennsylvania Bible Society, ottered prayer, after which Mr. James Black, of Lancaster county, read the resolutions adopted by the late Temperance Convention at Harrieburg. The resolutions take the ground that prohibition of tbe sale of liquor is the only safely, and that no legislation can make right that which Divine law bus declared to be wrong. Mr. Black then made an address, in which he argued that all fermented or distilled liquors con tuiu the same poison to a greater or lens degree, and that the only salety to health lay in absti nence from both. The speaker urged that a pro hibitory law was imperatively demanded, aud that society owed it to itself to choose such legis lators as would enact a law of this kind. The county and the State take tbe license money; the dollars clink into the public cotters, and tor so much gold a license Is given to deal in liquid poi Bon. . 1 his thing should be abolished. The money thus received is not a tithe of that which the com mon wealth must expend lor the consequences of those licenses. Judge Allison introduced Senator Wilson, of muHutuuneiu, wno was received with great ap plause. God, In His providence, (he said,) had cast our lot in this Christian republic, where we can work out results tor our common good. We have lived lor seven years past in the greatest excitement and struggle. We have tolled all that time tor our country, and have buried more than 325,000 of our brethren. In that struggle Pennsylvania has held a leading position, and Philadelphia has won u glorious name. Tens of thousands tell of her be nevolence and her patriotism. Tens of thousands of her sons went down In that struggle, but the State Is engaged to-day In as great a struggle as that tor tbe liberties of our country. In that struggle, it is said, 50,000 young men fall victims every year. We have an army of drunkards among ub, and now let us, If we can save them. Drunkenness spares none. It reaches the most gifted Intellect in the land. Lord Bacon In his day, said that more property was alienated' and more men were ruined by this, than by any other eause upon earth, while a large share of ail tbe cilmes that came before the tribunals were caused by the excessive use of intoxicating drinks There is going on, however, throughout all this Innd, a grand movement In lavor ef temperance Since thedaysoi Washlngtonianism there has been no such movement; and though tbe balls of legisla. lion at the national Capitol have been so disgraced there baB been less of druukenness Ihere this year than at anytime before. In Congress a temper auce society has been organized, of which some of tbe noblest men are members; and some of those men who have joined It are reformed men, whom the speuker believed would ba as true to their pledge as to the cause of their country. The advo cutes of temperance in Washington have so In creased In numbers, that within a few months some hundreds of ibe drinking houses havebeen starved out. Alter tbat exhibition of the 4th of March, which bowed tbe heads of a nation in sorrow aud in shame, liquor was abolished from the rooms ot the Congressional committees. Some of those gentle men used to keep there their whisky and their wine. They cannot do It now. The iron-clad oath of temperance is administered to the subalterns of Congress, and lie Infraction Is followed by die TTHBta). The Secretary of the Senate, John W Forney, has set the example by taking tbe tem perance pledge. (Applause ) Tbe speaker con unued at some length to elaborate the Idea that a presslcg necessity existed lor the prohibition of ibe sale of ardent spirits. At tbe conclusion of Senator Wilson's remarks the following resolution was ottered: Tbat the citizens of Philadelphia, in moss meeting assembled, do hereby heartily indorse and ratify the proceedings of the late butta Tem. pernnce Convention held nt Harrisbarg, and will use their influence and inmost enieaor lo carry out all the great measntes auoplrd by that body lo promote the cause ol temperance In this oity and Stti'e." It was adopted amid applause, and the meeting dispersed In capital but not "aident" spirits. Fire.
