' Reception op Major-General Hancock in Independence Hall—At a late meeting of City Conncils. resolutions complimentary to Major- General W. S. Hancock, and tendering to him the use of Independence Hall to receive nis friends, vvere passed. In response to these resolutions, Mayor Henry received this morning the following .letter from Gen. Hancock: Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 22, 1864.— Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a copy ofthe resolutions of the Select and Common Conncils ofthe City of Philadelphia, commending my military services during the existing rebellion, and tendering to me the nee of Independence Hail for the reception of my triends. lojd deeply sensible ofthe honor thns conferred Mid do notfeel at liberty, lor many reasons, to de cltne the honor of a public reception. Notwitn standing tbe doubt I may have as to my right by accepting to lay claim to such a testimonial. If I possess any such claims it is due to the brave sol diers who have fought under my command, very many ot whom ere citizens of Philadelphia. Tore ceive congratulations which may reflect credit up on them wi]l be a sufficient reason for my accept ance. It will show -them that their countrymen axe not unmindful of military service, and will stimulate them to greater deeds, reflecting upou them additional renown and honor upon their State. Toniy children the testimonial will be a lasting and grateful heritage—the more prized because so rarely bestowed. \ I shall he happy to receive the congratulations of my friends as the act of courtesy of the municipal authorities of the City of Philadelphia, and would respectfully suggest Thursday, the 25th inst., at 2.45 P. HI., or such other time as may be deemed most fitting and convenient by his' Honor, the Mayor, and the Select and Common Council of the city. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient ser fhht, WINF’D S. HANCOCK, TI _ Major-General U. S V. Hon . Alex. Henry, Mayor of the City of Phi ladelphia. Veterans and the Local Bounty.—The veteran troops have experienced some diflicultv in making an assignment to theicreditof any particn- Jar Ward or sub-district, and also of obtaining the local bounty. We understand that the Adjutant- General has issued instructions to Lieut.. Col. Homford, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal in Pennsylvania, that in cases where tie muster-in rolls of veterans re-eiUieting in the field were de ficient, in not showing the particular district'to which such men desired to be assigned, the Pro vost Marshal of the State, at Harrisburg, had fall authority to prepare duplicate assignment rolls, on demand being made by any body of veteran troops so situated, through their commanding officer. The proper credit will be given through th® Adjutant-General’s office, on such assignment rolls—and no difficulty need be apprehended by veterans, as to givmg credit to any Ward, borough or township, provided prompt steps are taken by - their commanding officer, as above Indicated. Presentation*— The lS3d Regiment P. V., Col. Georg. P. McLean, was yesterday presented with a splendid stand or colors, by the Union League, under whose auspices the regiment has been raised. The presentation speech w» mad* by. Mr- Joseph B- Fry, and Hon. Henry D. Moore acted as spokesman for the regiment. This "regiment participwiedin the parade yesterday. It turned out with full ranks and presented a very creditable appearance. In our hastily prepared account of the procession 'his regiment was acci dentally omitted. The members of Birgfeld’s Brigade Band yester day presented to their leader, Mr. Adolph Btrg feld, a handsome sword, belt and sash. The pre sentation came off at the Armory ot the Grey Re serves. Major K. P. Nicholson represented the donors, and -his address was appropriately re sponded to by Mr. Birgfeld.’ ' A Splbswd DisriAT—During otir pere grinations yesterday, we noticed many admirable displays of flags and other decor&tiors in honor of Washington’s birthday. Probably the most im posing exhibition we encountered was that made by I. E. Walraven,importer and dealer in curtain materials and window shades. No. 719 Chestnut Etreet. His store enjoys fine advantages for dis play, being in the Masonic Hail building, and i was certainly decked off in a style which attracted the attention of thousands of those who passed along this fashionable thoroughfare. The cus tomers and friends of Mr. Walraven are aware o his taste and skill in arrangihg effective details o this character, and the public in general had a charming illustration in the grand appearance o his establishment during the celebration of ves terday. ; Mvrcjeocs Assault— This morning, about balf.past 4 o’clock, a party ol colored men made a notoTis demonstration against a tavern at Sixth and Buckley streets. Some fcf the Fifth Ward police interfered, and a huge paring stone wa thrown at the head of officer John W. Wright The officer dodged missile, and thus probably fared his life. John Randolph was arrested unfi&» the charge of having thrown the stone. He was taken .before Alderman White, and was held in Sl.HWbail. The Cbrtin School Hopse.—The new School House bnilt at Twentieth and Catharine streets, has been named •‘Andrew G. Curtin,’’ in honor of Ihe patriotic Governor of the Common, wealth The building is two stories in height, has eight divisions Id all, and is intended for a secordary school.
