THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11. 1870.
(rwfaMl frim U First Pat.
About midnight on September 7, 1S, the
city was tattled ky the report that the League
Uousa was on fire, aid thousands of people soon
collected la the neighborhood to witness the
conflagration. The 8onthern Loyalist Conen
tlen was in session In the city at the time, and
in their honor the League House had been gaily
decorated with flaps, the stars and stripes float
In from the staff which surmounted the cupola.
The vast concourse of people assembled were
thrown into a fearful state of excitement during
the progress of the fire by the appearance of
two firemen upon the roof. These darlnjc men,
at the lmmlnont peril of their 11-ea, made their
way through the dense clouds of smoke to the
cupola, and succeeded la haulins; down the flag
and detaching it from its fastenings. They then
turned about, and, encountering even greater
peril than In the ascent, reached the ground In
safety with the flag, the ac&ievement being
greeted by the anxious multitude with three
tumultuous cheers, thrice repeated. The League
showed their appreciation of this gallant
and almost reckless action, by presenting
handsome medals to each of the firemen who
risked his life la sentimental devotion to the
flag of his country. The most valuable articles
of a movable character in the League House
were removed during the conflagration to places
of safety, and the flames were extinguished be
fore they had gone beyond the upper story. "Yet
the damage sustained by the bulldiDg was quite
.large, and the repairs rendered necessary cost
nearly 130,000. Perhaps the most serious loss
sustained by the League through the fire was
the great damage done to the voluminous flies
cf newspapers and magazines which had been
carefully preserved theretofore.
From the date of its first organization down
to the present time, when its membership, ac
cording to the last annual reports, numbers
about 1900, the League has iuclnded in its ranks
the leading and most Influential citizens of
rhlladelphia who have been in sympathy with
the Republican party and the great work which
it has had in hand. Tens of thousands of docu
ments have been circulated by it, and during
each of the great political campaigns trans
piring since its foundation, the meetings which
have been held under its auspices in Concert
and National Halls, and on Broad street In front
of the League House, have bceu unprecedented
in numbers and enthusiasm, as well as in the
standing and eloquence of the speakers whose
services have been secured
But perhaps the most important service ren
dered by the League as an organization to the
country was in the way of placing regiments
in the field during the war for the Union. In
June, 1863, when the Rebel armies had crossed
the Potomac, penetrated the border of Pennsyl
vania, and threatened Philadelphia with cap
ture, the League responded nobly to the de
mands of the crisis by the appointment of a
Committee on Enlistments, with the late Joseph
R. Fry, Esq., at its head, ho retaining that posi
tion until bis death in 1865. The committee went
to work with a will, and such was its zeal that,
between the 25th of Jnne and the 5th of July of
that year it raised three full regiments of emer
gency men, who were placed under the com
mand of Colonels Whipple, McLean, and Gray,
and five companies of cavalry in addition. Dur
ing the sncceding autumn and winter the 4th
Union League Regiment, known as the 183d Re
giment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, was re
cruited for three years' service, and placed in
the field. In July, 1864, pursuant to the call of
the President for one hundred days' men, the
5th Union League Regiment, under the eommand
of Colonel Neff, was organized. Under the
call of July 18, 1S64, for one year men, the Sixth
Union League Regiment, known as the 198th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded by Colonel
Horatio G. Slckel, and consisting of three bat
talions, or fourteen full companies, was raised;
and finally, under the call of December 18, 1864,
for 300,000 men, the Seventh, Eighth, and
Ninth Union League Regiments, known as the
213th, 214th, and 215th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
were recruited. Uncertainty as to the quota of
Philadelphia rendered a sytematlc effort at re
cruiting impossible for a time, but by the end
of January authority was obtained from the
War Department, and the 313th Regiment,
under the command of Colonel John A. Gorgas,
was placed in service, this action being quickly
followed by the recrnitlng of the two other regi
ments, the 214th and 215th, under the command
respectively of Colonels D. B. McKlbben and
Francis Wister. These three regiments were
raised with a rapidity unexampled since the
first enthusiasm of 1861, and at a cost much
below the average of similar organizations, the
recruiting expenses for the whole amounting to
not nire than $8000. By the time that the last
regiment was completed, the surrender of the
Rebel armies rendered further recrnitlng unne
cessary, and the labors of the committee were
brought to a close. The total force placed in the
field by tho committee comprised nine effective
regiments, two battalions, and a troop of
cavalry, amounting altogether to more than
10,000 men. The expenses attending the raising
f this large force amounted to more than
$100,000, all of which was provided by private
subscriptions, principally among the members
of the League. All the regiments placed la the
leld by the League behaved gallantly as far as
they were afforded the opportunity, and the
conduct of the Sixth Union League Regiment
was conspicuous In the final struggle before
Petersburg, In which, posted upon the extreme
left, it bore the brunt of some of the hardest
fighting, while at the battle of Quaker Road it
did much to prevent serious disaster to the
loyal army, two of its majors, Glenn and
Macuen, being killed, and Colonel Sickel, its
commander! seriously wounded.
In addition to this signal service, the hearty
manner in which the League sustained the Gov
eminent during the war in every possible way
was of incalculable Tame to the Union cause.
Both President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton
Bald that from no other outside source did they
. receive a heartier and more gratifying support,
sind expressed their appreciation of its great
services to the eountry.
The first President of the League was the Hon
William M. Meredith, formerly Attorney-Gene
ral of Pennsylvania, and Secretary of the Trea
sury daring a part of Taylor's administration
He held the office for two years, and was sue
ceeded by J. Gilllngbam Fell, Ksq., who, after a
four years' incumbency, gave place to the late
Horace Binney, Jr. Mr. Binney served as Prosl
dent during the year 1869, and was reflected
for fa second term in December last. On his
death in February following, the Hon. Morton
McMichael, one of the Vice-Presidents, was
elected by the Board of Directors to fill the va
cancy. George H. Boker, Esq., has acted as
Secretary of the League from the time of lU
organization.
The project of a grand celebration such
as is to take place this evening has bn-a
revived on several occasions, but it has
been
postponed from time to time, until
now, when it has been considered appropriate
that the League should In some way commemo
rate the glorious successes to which it has mate
rially contributed since Its organization.
Twice since the occupancy of the present
bulldiDg have receptions taken place, but they
have been given in honor of distinguished
leaders of the Union army Generals Grant and
Sheridan and then they took place through
the day. A similar festivity was prepared for
General Sherman, but it did not transpire,
Owing to the inability of that soldier to re
main in the city the required length of time.
Great preparations for the event to-night have
been under way for some weeks, and, should
the weather be propitious, it will be a perfect
success in every sense of the word. Workmen
have been engaged in constructing in the rear
f the building a substantial platform 100 feet
by 80, which is to be devoted to dancing. Over
this lias been erected a mammoth wall tent,
which will serve as a protection from tho pro
mising inclement weather. Gas pipe has been
run through the centre of tho tent, and attached
to it are an almost Innumerable number of gas
jels, which will throw a flood of light not
equalled on any previous occasion la this city.
The sides of the improvised ball-room will be
handsomely decorated with rare plants and flow
ers, and the national bunting will grace various
points. All the apartments in the ha me
have keen put in order for this event, and most
of the furniture has been packed away, so as to
devote every available space to the accommoda
tion of the immense throng which will be in
attendance. The various nurseries around the
city will contribute the finest of exotics towards
beautifying these rooms and the passage-way
leading from the front entrance to the dancing
floor. Although the display of these articles
will no donbt exceed anything of the kind ever
made in Philadelphia, yet the storm of Sunday
has materially interfered with this portion of
the programme. Evergreens have been hung in
festoons over the doorways, and the many paint
ings are adorned with it in elaborate stylo.)
The pavement and the steps in front of the
building on Broad street have been roofed in,
so that the dresses of the ladies will not sustain
any soil in case of rain; in fact, every provision
has been made to Insure the comfort of those
participating.
The League now numbers a membership of
about nineteen hundred, and it is estimated that
twenty-five hundred will partake of the hospi
tallties of the association which has reudercd
such inestimable services towards the preserva
tion of the Union.
