LkS TION—The Poor and the Season.—On.
boinilt of tlie poor of the city the managers of
the Union Benevolent Association are compelled
to make a second appeal- for the season for lands,
li was hoped that the mildness of tne winter and
the activity of trade would have made a second
appeal unnecessary; but the enormously Increased
cost of every article .of living and especially of
fuel, has laid burdens upon the poor which
calls for greater liberality - towards them; and
our treasury is. empty. Notwithstanding the
ren: prosperity abroad there is an under current
of suffering which is our duty to setrch
out and relieve. The labor of working-men is well
remunerated; but that-of poor sewing women is
nor, except in special cases. We know of those
who, working late and early, earn bnt S 2 OUner.
wetk; who make common shirts for 3125, and
drawers for SI OU per dozen. Men control their
wages by banding together and demanding an in
crease of pay, but there seems to be no redress for
women, who are wholly in the power ot their em
ployers. "When it is asserted, that
labor is abundant, &c., we point to this
class of sufferers, ..and ask for them and those de
pendent upon them the sympathies of the public.
The public must be reminded, however, that it is
not ior those who are able to labor that oar charity
is intended, bnt for those who are incapacitated bv
reason of sickness.or. infirmities, and upon whom
the high prices wo'rk an immense amount of suffer
ing. This class “we have always with ns, ”no
matter how mild the winter or favorable the times.
They are mostly women, often, with families of
small children. It costs them from S 3 to SIU lor a ’
ton ol coal, or rather sixteento'twenty dollars, for
they are compelled to buy it by. the basket,
at double the common price. Our societv has one
hundred aud forty female visilors who'discover
more of this kind ot suffering than they have means
to relieve, and it is for them that this appeal is
made. Our whole receipts in money per annum is
not over 310,0U0. (A similar society in jVcio Vorfc
receives S7O,IUHJ.) More than half of this is ex
pended for coal, leaving less than 55,00 U to be di
vided among one hundred and forty ladies,making
the ariUual sun! for distribution by each twenty
flye dollars, or two dollars per month.
Vj ith this these ladies relieved last year 4,050 fami
lies. Jhey made 11,043 visits to the poor. They
found employment for 9.59 persons. They minis
tered to 791 sick. They sent to school 133 chil
dren. They distributed 1,224 tons of coal, 1,477
garments, 300 stoves, and kept 30 women in sewing
ior their store, besides a distribution ef over s4uoo
in money. This winter the demand is greater and
the receipts t mailer. The Society therefore makes
this appeal for further aid, at the close of the
season, when suffering is always greatest; The
collectors of the Society, Messrs. Ooopor and
Evans will make an early call upon the citizens
and they are earnestly commended to the attention
of the charitable; or contributions may be sent to
the Treasurer, Edmund Wilcox, Esq., 404,
Chestnut street, or to the agent of the Society at
the office, northwest corner Seventh and Sansom
streets. - SAMUEL H. PERKlNS,President.

nobility of character that was innate, and by an in

approach our sad duty with grieved hearts, we
feel this to be hut a feeble effort to bear testimony
to his goodness, his great purity of character and

NEWS FROM CHARLESTON.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
The United Stales steam transport Fulton, Cap
tain Woiton, which left Port Royal on the 9th
instant, and Charleston bar on the loth, arrived
at New York yesterday evening. The sixty
seventh regiment Ohio Volunteers, under com
mand of Major L. Butler, was on Doard.
The British ship-of-war Petrel arrived off
Charleston baron the evening of Friday, the sth
inst., wishing to communicate with the British
Oonsiu at Savannah, Georgia. She also brought
extensive despatches to J. P. Benjamin, rebel
Secretary of War. State messages were pent to
Admiral DahJgren, who was then at Port Royal,to
get permission to enter the harbor. The Tequest
was not granted, and the vessel puttoseaatonce.
The Savannah RcpuMicon of February 1 gives a
gloomy account of matters m the Oonfed-racy. The
Commissary of Subsistence states that the amount
of provisions now on hand will not Hast over a
month. About two columns are devoted to adver
tisements for deserters.
Three deserters from the 97th Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, attempted an escape at Ft-rnandina, They
pasted the pickets, aud on arriving at the river
they met a man with a boat, and engaged him to
row them over. It was nearly morning/ On start
ing, a dense fog arose, and the boatman, Mr
Helper, brother of Cyrus Helper, instead of taking
them to rebeldonr, brought them to onr shores,
where they were handed over to onr guard, much
to their discomfiture. They were tried by court
martial and sentenced to be shot. The sentence
was approved by Gen. GiUmore, and they will be
shot Tuesday, 9tb, at Fernaudina.’
Hbadqu akturs, Hilton Hbap, S. C., Feb. 5,
1654.—0 n Tuesday morning last, at daylight a
large Clyde built iron steamer, schooner rigged,
and with two smoke-stacks, was discovered bv our
troop* at Battery Strong, Cummings's Point,'Mor
ris Island,apparentlyashorem Maffiitt’ a channel.
Off Fort Monltria, Sullivan's Island. When firsi
discovered a large number of men were observed on
berdischarging cargo and transporting it to the
beach. In ashort time one three-hundred-pounder
Parrott and other heavy rifle 3 were trained upon
and soon opened Are. The drat shell from the
huge rifle struck nesr her and dashed immense
volumes of spray in the ajr. \ second shot fol
lowed quickly alter, and the rebels began to desert
the vessel and hurry ashore in tho most excited
manner, which was not at all quieted by the third
shot, which crushed through the iron sides of the
steamer and sent the fragments flying in all direc
tions. The steamer wat-instantly deserted by the
loiterers, wb# jumped overboard, took to the
shore, and then to their heels in ah Amusing
manner. The fire was still maintained from
the b»&vy guns, and eight shot and shell
put through the vessel, which sank as the
tide came up and rushed through the gaping
holes in her hull. The work was so well don
that it was apparent that no possible effort on the
part of the rebels eould float her up to the city.
Daring the day the batteries ou Cummings’s|Point
would play upon her at intervals, for the purpose
of preventing the rebels H a n saving the balance ot
the cargo.
On tbe following day the Monitors ran up jo
wards Moultrie and- finished the work oi destruc
tion most effectually,; by knocking the Anglo-rebel
to pieces with their fifteen-inch shells. Perhaps
some of the cargo may float ashore from tbe wreck,
but the great bulk ef )t is undoubtedly lost.
Tbe steamir was evidently inward bound, and
came very near effecting a successful “run.”
She had run by tbe naval cordons of blockaders,
and rnn ashore nearly under tbe gunsof Moultrie
A few daye since a sergeant of the rebel army
end seven men came into our lines at Fort Pulaski
from Savannah. They epeak rather gloemly of
affairs in the Confederacy, -the burden of their
stoiy being the old one—of discontent, starvation
and a merciless conscription. They represent the
present supply of provisions for the army as only
sufficient for one month’ ■ consumption.
The rebels have been dreading an attack on Sa
vannab, and have reinforced General Mercer by
six thousand men from the coast line. They have,
as a further defence, planted a largo number of
torpedoes in the Savannah and Wilmington fivers,
and, in short, in all the viator and land approaches
to the city. They hops to make a successfni de.
fence against our attack, if one is attempted.
Nearly all the soldiers are anxious to desert, and
either return to their homes or come nuder onr flag
again. One or two regiments have mutinied, and
were enly compelled to return to dnty by the most
summary proceedings. The troops think the jig is
about up. They are fully posted on the President’s
amneaty proclamation, and deeire to avail them
selves of its provisions.
HlPhiladelthlax Killed John Berryman of
Battery A, Third Pennsylvania Artillery, a
guard on board of the fiag-of-truce boat New
York, (now taking in coal at Dobbin’s wharf,
Baltimore,) on Wednesday obtained per
mission to come into that city, and upon re
turning to find bis boat, stopped upon the plat
form on the trestling work built over the
whari, and there fell asleep, and during, the
night rolled over the platform and fell upon
the coal heap on the wharf beneath, causing
his death. A piece of coal was found em
bedded in his left temple. He leaves a wi
dowed mother in Philadelphia, to whom his re
mains were sent for interment.

at the Ursuline Convent, in St. Louis, last
Sunday. Some improvements were being

Mary Otelia, fell through the hatchway,striking
her head-upon an iron kettle beneath, and frac
turing her skull from the frontal to the occipital
bone, causing instant death. She was a Ger
man by birth, and forty-Beven years of age.
No Cause or Actioy.— Gen. Curtis, in one
of his iate Kansas positively
announces to all concerned that “there is not
enough of the negro left to quarrel about.”
We beg leave to call the attention of all Cop
perhead colorphobists to this I cheering state
ment, -and to ask them, if it be true, why it
should not moderate the rancor of their ire?

Dbaft Meeting is the NiketeestiiWarp —
A spirited draft meeting was held last eve
ning hi the Temperance Hall, in York
street, below Franktord road. There was
a . .tori?®, attendance of the citizens of the
vicinity, and the proceedings throughout were
harmonious and satisfactory. From the reports of
uie various committees appointed to canvas the
\\ ard lor contributions, it was ascertained that the
amountaJready. subscribed isabouteleven thousand
dollar?, of which nearly eight thousand dollars
rave been paid in. It Is estimated.that not more
tfean eighteen thousand dollars will be required to
exempt the War*_ from the • draft, and
judging from the progress already
made no trouble will be experienced
in securing that amount at an eariv date. This
fact speaks well for the liberality of the residents
of this district, who are mostly working people of
limited means, and also fortbe persevering euergy
ol the different canvassing committees. The dis
bursing committee reported that they are holding
daily sessions, from i to 5 o’ clock in the afternoon,
at the Military HalJ, in Third street below Green,
and that thus far they have obtained nearly two
hundred men. who have received their bounty and
will be accredited tothe quota of the ward. Dur
ing the evening short and forcible addresses were
delivered by Dr. Curran, Mr. Hoff, Mr. James
Tagert, and others.

ceptioat, were opposed to such a course.
Sr. Yalehtixe’s Day.— To-morrow will be
St, Valentines day, and the “lads-and lasses'*

Swietmkats IVbolssomb.— Some simple
people have an idea in their Heads that sugar is not
wholesome. Perhaps not in «ome forms, for there
is nothing to which the old adage that Providence
sends victuals and the other parts the cook, applies
better than to sugar. But sugar of itself is whole
some, as is proved by the fact that the men, women
and children upon sugar plantations all become as
fat as butter, and ttcy almost live upon sugar. To
obtain sweetmeats that have all the native whole
someness of the sugar, with all the dainty combi
nations with other good and delieious things, which
superior skill can prodnee, go to the popular store
ofE. G. Whitman & Co., No. dl£ Chestnut street,

AMUSEMENTS
Gbrxax Ofhra.—The first performance of
Richard Wagner’s opera of Tannhauser drew a
very large audienee to the Academy of Music.
People listened to it in a condition of perplexity.
The overture made a good impression- but them
the scene on the Yenusberg wae dull and weari
some. The chorus of Pilgrims, in the next scene,
pleased every one; hut it occurs half a dozen
times in the opera and, of course, was not rel
ished so much at the end as at the beginning. Tha
second act is decidedly grand. The march and
chorus in the tournament scene are splendid. No
one who listens to that scene can deny that Wag
ner possesses the gilt of melody in a rare degree.
That he is a thorough master of harmony, also, is
proved by every other part of the opera. Tha
finale of the second act is another fine piece of mu
sical writing, and it iB as effective as some of the
grand finales of the modern I alian stage. The
last act, which should he the best, is so full of
leng dreary recitatives, and fragmentary, un
formed melodies, that it proves tiresome, except
to those who have a critical cariosity to study
queer intervals in the singing and fantastic modu
lations in the instrumentation. It is hard to say
that a majority of the audience, atthe end of tho
opera, would not have voted it a bore. But a work,
of such fame is not to he condemned on a single
hearing. The simplest opera is noc appreciated at
first. Tannhttu nr is so very elaborate and sofbre,
that it mnst require numerous hearings to enable
one to comprehend it thoroughly. The artists en
gaged in it acquitted themselves very well, and the
orchestra did its very difficult part of the work
much better than we had expected. This afternoon-
Ths Jfrrry TFim* o/ Windsor Is to be played, and on
Monday evening, for the first time in America,
Spohr’s opera Jcisonda.

well of the Philadelphia public this evening at the
Walnut, appearing in *-Eucrelia Borgia ’.and as
Bon Cwsar de Bazan in the drama of that name.
Mils Western goes to California very shortly, but
vro doubt whether her success will he any greater,
there than it has been m Philadelphia.

her last appearance at the Arch this evening. sna
