nrS=- ATTENTION, SEVENTH WARD!—At
1L.3 a meeting of the Precinct Collecting Com
mittees of the Seventh Ward, held at O’ Neill Hall,
Lombard street, near Broad, on Friday Evening,
the 26th inst., the following preamble and resolu
tions were unanimously adopted*
T,The sum of THIRTY THOUSAND
JJOLLARS, or thereabouts, is requisite to exempt
the citizens • f the Seventh Ward from the impend
draft; a)ui Pereas, of the FIVE
THOUSAND taxable inhabitants, about nine hun
dred have contributed seventeen tnousand dollars
thereof, leaving thirteen thousand dollars to be yet
furnished; and t ohereaty we are well satisfied that
there are among the four thousand taxables who
have as yet contributed, nothing, a large number
able and willing to do their share of the good work
in which we are engaged; and whereat, a subscrip
tion of One Hundred Dollars each by one hundred
and thirtyjaersqne, or of Fifty Dollars each by two
hundred and sixty, or of Twenty.flTe'Dollars each
by five hundred and twenty persons, (about one
eightb of the non-contribntors,) would suffice to
meet the requirements of the case, in which all are
interested, and it is not doubted that from these
various classes of subscribers the needed amount
can be raised: therefore,
Setolred, That all those who are willing to lend
their aid in this manner he earnestly nrged to make
their contributions at an early day, to any of the
undernamed chairmen of the different Committees,
to George N. Tatliam, Esq , Treasurer of the
Fund, No. 1114 Spruce street, or to any autho
rised members of the Collecting Committees.
Petolred, That these proceedings be published in
four of the daily papers, and that the result be re
ported at a general meeting of the committees to be
held at this place, on FRIDAY' EVENING next,
the4thof March, atSo’clock, which meeting the
citizens of the Ward are respectfully inTited to
attend. Adjourned.

rW=*THE UNION BENEVOLENT ASSOCIA
-Ixs TION—The Poor and. the Season.—On
behalf of the poor of the city the managers of
the Union Benevolent Association are compelled
to make a second appeal for the season for funds.
It was hoped that the mildness of the 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 appa
rent prosperity abroad there is sin under current
of suffering which is our duty to search
out and relieve. The labor of working-men is well
remunerated; but that of poor sewing women is
not, except in special cases. We know of those
who, working late and early,- earn but $2 00 per
wetk; who make common shirts for 8125, and
drawers for si 00 per dozen. Men control their
wages by bandingtogether and demanding an in
crease of pay, but there seems to he no redress for
women, whoare wholly in the power ot their em
ployers. When it is asserted, therefore, that
labor ie abundant, Ac., 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 lor those who are able to labor that our charity
is intended, hut for those who are incapacitated by
reason of sickness or infirmities, and upon whom'
the high prices work an immense amount of suffer
ing. This elass “we have always with us, ” 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 sixteen to twenty dollars, for
they are compelled to bny it by the basket,
at double tbe common price. Our society bas one
hundred and forty female visitors who discover
more of this hind ol suffering than Ihey have means
to relieve, anditiß for them that this appeal is
made. Our whole receipts in money per annum ie
not over 310,600. tA similar society in New York
f 7O ’ 0 ® 1 ') More than half of this is ex
coal’ leaving less than 85,600 to be di
one hundred and forty ladies.making
flvfi* 7H u^oi„-' 0m for distribution by each twenty-
*** dollars per month.

the receipts smaller. The Society therefore makes
this appeal for further aid, at file clow 5 the
season, when suffering is always greatest. Tke
collectors, of the Society, Messrs. Oodpor and
Evans will make an early call upon the citizcns
and they are earnestly commended to the attention

FIFTEENTH WARD BOUNTY FUND.
tJ-i* —At a meeting of the Executive Committee
held on Friday evening, at the school- house cor
ner of Twentieth and Coates streets, it was an
nounced that four hundred and eleven men had
received the ward bounty and been duly credited.
About two hundred and fifty men are yet needed
J° qno’a, to pay whom will require only
two thousand dollars in addition to the funds now
in hand.
An earnest appeal is now made to-those citizens
of the Ward who have not contributed in propor
tion to their means and liability. It is idle to say
thet you have not been called upon, Ac. The gen
tlemen who have undertaken the office of collect
ing, had devoted night after night, for many weeks,
to this unpalatable and thankless task. In many
cases they have been unable, after repeated efforts,
to see the parties called upon. Others, on being
visited, have promised a consideration ot the sub
ject, and deferred contributing until some as
surance of final success should be given them.
When they now learn that more than twenty
five thousand dollars have been collected from
& portion of their fellow-citizens, and that but two
tbousand dollars is wanted, will they not esteem
it a privilege to be sought after, to tender to the
collectors their quota of the small remaining sum
requisite to free themselves, and families from
further anxiety. Subscriptions mp be sent to the
collectors of the several precincts at their resi
dences, to Mr. Thomas Price, Chairman of Com
mittee, 5P6 Minor street, or to Mr- Thomas Potter,
Treasurer, 229 Arch street. Promptitude is
urgently solicited, so that the name of every
contributor and the amount of Ids contribution
shall appear in the alphabetical list to be pub
lished by the committee on the conclusion of their
labors.
The Committee and Collectors will meet again
at the same place, on TUESDAY next, March
Ist, at 8 o’clock P. M. The citizens of the ward
are invited to be present.

THE NAYY YARD AND LEAGUE
. ISLAND.
COUBSE OF TEE PHILADELPHIA DELEGA-
On Thursday last, in the House of Representatives
at Washington, the naval i appropriation bill was
considered in Committee of the Whole, the ques
tion being on an appropriation of 890,000 to pur
chase additional land for the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. Mr. Brandegee, of Connecticut, moved to
amend by striking out the last word, and pro
ceeded to discuss the League lelnndproject, quot
ing a letter lrom the late Commodore Pendergrast
in opposition to it.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, saiffi If the appropria
tions of this sum of money will, as seems to be the
argument of the gentleman from Connecticut, dis
pense with the necessity of expending vast sijms
o 1 money at New London, Connecticut, or League
Island, I think this expenditure would be wisely
made. But if the gentleman means that this sum
of money should be appropriated for the
benefit ot the Philadelphia Navy-yard
for the mere purpose of an ■ argument
against the purchase -of League Island,
I should protest against such motives m legisla
tion. The gentleman seems to apprehend that
unless the Philadelphia. navy-yard is enlarged
“League Island swindle’ ’-j-I indulge in mere
quotation—may bo consummated, and if 1 ‘the
League Island swindle’ ’ is ncjt consummated,then
that the New London project will be adopted.
That may or may not be considered tne fair and
legitimate inference from the gentleman’s argu
ment. I therefore freely yield to the gentleman
from Connecticut to state whether he considers
that this appropriation of 890,000 forthe purpose
of nearly Doubling, as 1b said by the ’ gentleman
from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Stevens,) the capacity of
the Philadelphia yard will he able to dispense with
the necessity of lay ing out a vast sum of monev in
the future in establishing a Navy Yard either at
New London or at League Island. So far as lam
concerned, representing a western constituency,
among whom no money for such purposes is ex
pended, and whtre the subject of economy has
more weight than any local consideration, if the
gentleman says that the enlargement of the Phila
delphia Nary Yard will dispense with the
necessity of founding-a Navy Yard to be com
pleted, as the gentleman from Pennsylvania says,
years hence, at New London, orLeagne Island, I
think tbe appropriation of this 890, 000 wiU be well
made.
Mr. Brandegee withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Rice, of Mass, fa member of the Naval
CosoHuttee), renewed it and discussed the question
taking the ground that the.purchase of this piece of
land had no connection with the subject of build
ing a navy-yaTd at League Island or anywhere
else. '
Mr. Rice withdrew his amendment.
Mr. O’Neill, of Pennsylvania. —lmove to amend
the amendment by striking out the last word. I
do not know, Mr. Chairman, that it was neces
sary for the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr.
Brandegee), to rise ia his place and undertake
OT7R iwholJ 8 country;
to delenA ‘ he interests of the State of Pennant
-raniA ”«Jthat this is ffie tS^or
members iron. Pennsylvania to be drawn into a
discussion of IL e merits of League Island or the
merits of New n.' ,,ldon “ a naval station. It mav
do veiy well forth, e .eenUeman from Connecticut
to endeavor to pre, nalce the Committee of the
/Whole in regard to L.°aene island, bnt I do not
thmk he bas succeeds d in remarks he has
made. Sir, I waited for th >e chairman of the Naval
Committee to let us something about the
890,900 proposed to be appropriated here. We
have heard now from the \ c kairmin; we have
heard from other members of *&at committee. I
do not think this committee is h willing to be
drawn into the discussion as to w*^ ero a great iron
naval station should be loeated.
Ido not know where the big swindi’ e 1b of which
the gentleman spoke. ItmaybeiaNew I
do not think it is In Philadelphia. I thin. 1 * we hsve
presented to the Naval Committee a location for an
ir J?-?Ls aval Ration which is the best the country
?* * &m Blad to be able to express tar be
lief that that question will be considered fairly by
the Naval Committee. When that committee shall
report we will then have before us all the facts, on
which we can act with intelligence and authority.
The members from Pennsylvania are willing, on
Bm *4 m » t ter of an appropriatlon of $90,-
JJ 00 ’*® to fee decided by the committee which
ba* had all the facts before it.
*vr thi nk the committee has given us views on
tne subject which show that this appropriation
should be made and this strip of land boaght.
The chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means has informed us that it is a mere strip of
S»^ e 4i^ ndredfcet ’waterfront, to be added to the
Philadelphia navy yard. He tells us that it is
necessary. Admiral Smith, Chief of the Bureau
of Yards and Docks approves of it! Certainly
he dots. He may have told the-gentleman from
Connecticut that now was his opportunity to
strike a blow at League Island by asserting that
1116 Bureau of Yards and Docks was
willing that Philadelphia should have an exten
sion of one hundred leet to her navy yard, pro
vided the gentleman from Connecticut and those
opposing League Island would satisfy the Honse
that Philadelphia and Pennsylvania wore getting
great boon from the Government. lam not sur
prised at the letter which the gentleman from
Connecticut as read from the commandant of the
j lanL Tbatcommandant is neither a Phila
delphian nor a Pennsylvanian in sentiment. It
would suit me if the Secretary of the Navy would
have some one presiding over that yard as com
mandant more in unison with the feelings of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania on the subject of
League Island. May I ask the gentleman whether
that letter was not written by Commodore Strib
ling?
Mr. Brandegee—No, sir.
Mr. O’Neill (Pa.)—By Commodore Pender
grastl
Mr. Brandegee.—Yes, sir.
Mr. O’Neill (Pa.)—Commodore Pendergraat U
dead and gone. I think he died while command
ant of the Philadelphia Navy-Yard many months
ago. He has been succeeded by another com
mandant equally hostile to the League Island pro
ject. lam not aware that either of them knew or
knows anything about League Island. lam sure
tbe knowledge of these officers as to the value of
this island ior<the purposes of a great naval station
for iron vessels and armature, with their known
prejudices against the location, is not to be relied
on, as is the experience of those who have lived
upon and nesr it and know its every loot of land.
i merely rose, Mr. Chairman, to say that the
Pennsylvania delegation did not desire this pro
ject to be discussed upon a mere collateral appro
priation, wbicb, in the good judgment of the
..Naval Committee, has been recommended as suita
ble for purposes ol the Nary.
Mr Brandegee renewed his remarks in the same
strain as before, after which the amendment, by
unanimous consent, was withdrawn.
Mr. Randall (Pa). —I renew the amendment:
and I do so, Mr. Chairman, for the purpose of
advocating the original proposition of the Com
mittee of 'Ways and Means. My action will not
be controlled by the reasons which seem to govern
the gentleman from Connecticut [Mr. Brandegee],
whose hostility to the establishment of an iron
clad navy-yard at league Island, in the Delaware
river, and which grows out of the fear he has for
his own pet project at New London, has been
thrust lorvdkrd in this debate without the
least pretext for it. 1 deem, sir, that the
proposed enlargement of the Philadelphia
navy-yard is called for by the best
interests of the Government. If at any future
period a navy yard should be constructed at
League Island, as I trnst that it soon will be, and
it shall become necessary to sell this land, the
Government will lose nothing, but, on the con
trary, will be able to dispose of i: at an enhanced
price. The appropriation is a necessary one, and
is, we are toldhy the Department, as economical
as it could be mado with a view to answer the de
mands of the Navy. The reasons advanced by the
Ccmmitteeof Wavs and Means for the appropria
tion are plain and practical; it is founded upon the
estimates and lecommendations of the Depart
ment; it is needed and judicious, and I trust that
It will wcure the approval of the House.
Mr. Strouse—Mr. Chairman, there need be no
nervousness on the part of the member from Con
necticut (Mr. Brandegee) m reference to the dele
gation upon this floor from Pennsylvania. We
are not now considering the claim of Connecticut
for a new navy-yard, nor whether an iron-clad
navy-yard shall be established at League Island.
Tbe gentleman has propounded the question why
we do not take more interest in this matter. Sir,
I beg leave to say to the House—and I will be
sustained by the representatives from Pennsylva
nia on both sides of the House—that we take
a more enlarged view of our duties. *We are not
confined to the narrow limits of a State; we are
here as the representatives of the whole country,
while we feel S:ate pride, as all men do, yet,
we act with reference to the merits or dements
of the measures presented lor our consideration.
Gentlemen will find that we do not advocate
League Island or any other place as Pennsylva
nians. -We do net advocate it because it is lo
cated in Pennsylvania or near Philadelphia. I
come myself from the interior of the State, and I
do not advocate it because it is upon tbe border of
Pennsylvania. "We take a more enlarged view of
the question; and when it comes fairly before us
we will decide that which ie best lor the American
Navy. I do notzee why there is this extraordinary
clamor and this nervousness because perchance
, ? establishment of a Navy Yard at League
Is-land maybe advocated here by gentlemen from
Pennsylvania.
Hr'. Chairman, permit me to say to the House,
that if League.lsland has not advantages to recom
mend it to the favorable consideration of the
House, let some other place be selected ; bat until
it 1b demonstrated before the House, and we are
entirely convinced that League Island has not
superior claims, let us pass on to the public busi
ness that demands our attention.
Mr. Griswold, ol N. Y.—Mr. Chairman, as a
member of the Naval Oommittee, I must enter my
protest against a discussion relative to the merits
of League Island or Now "London, er any other
location, in connection with this simple question
of the purchase of additional laud for the enlarge
rs en t of the Philadelphia navy-yard.
SO far as I know, sir, the members of that com
mutes have taken up this question upon its merits
alone. They have not been Influenced in their re
commendation upon a simple point of this land by
the feelings or interests either of League Island or
New London, of Pennsylvania or Connecticut.
We have taken it up as a business matter, consid
ering the importance of the enlargement of the
navy-yard uppn the grounds so well stated not
only by members of the Committee of Ways and
Means, ‘but by members of the Naval Committee,
and we have, as our unanimous opinion, come to
the conclusion that the purchase of this little tract
of land will be of great benefit to the country, inas
much as it will nearly double the facilities of the
navy-yaTd at Philadelphia.
I rose simply te pretest as a member of the Naval
Committee against this matter being involved in
any degree in the consideration of the question of a
future Navy Yard and its location.
Mr. Kelley—l concur, Mr. Chairman, in the
propriety of the remark of the gentlemen from New
York, [Mr. Griswold, 1 that we should exclude
from the discussion now pending all consideration
with reference to the question of a hew Navy Yard
for iron vessels. That will be before us at an early
day, when I shall be nrepared to show, and think
I shall he sustained by the facts of the case, where
that Yard should be located. But that question
has no connection’ with the one now before the
committee, and should be excluded from the dis
cussion.
Sir, wharfage and dockage are the great wants
of our Navy at this time, and I affirm without fear
of contradiction that to-day, .at this, very hour,
there are more Government vessels lying in hired
docks and at hired wharves in the city of New
York alone than there were in the American Navy
on the day on which the rebellion broke out.
Within two weeks past a majority of the mem
bers of the Naval Committee have seen that the
docks and wharves for a considerable distance
sonth of the Philadelphia yard are rented by the
government, and that onr vessels in large numbers
are lying at them, so too to the north of the yard
several docks and some of the finest wharves are
engaged hy the government and accnpledby trans
ports and other vessels.

MashineryOil — 'Shere is nc- one sublet
which has more perplexed the manufacturing
public than the want of suitable and’nniform- oil.
It is well known that an otTwhich works well for
one purpose will not suit' for all uses, and tllty
great difficulty is to adapt oils to the proper ’ use.
Messrs. Hulbnrt Sc Co., Sto Arch-streetl-have un
dertaken the task, and have succeeded to a re
markable degree. We hear their oils spoken of ia
the highest terms, and h ops the, manufacturers
will show them every encouragement, as they are
the first in our city who have attempted to supply
this great deficiency. Theiir fine Engine mid

They have oils adaptedfor all uses. Their oHafor

Grover * Baker Sewing Machine, which appeals

when we consider the numerous advantiges"
Which this excellent instrument possesses over
otherMachinesinnse. It will seam, hem, fell,
tuck, cord, bind, braid and embroider, all in ab
solute perfection, thus accomplishing a greater
variety of work than any or all its rivals com
bined, and, withal, is so simple in tts construction
that it never gets out of order. One fact we desire -
to have particularly noticed, to wit:
This company has now mere work than it canpos- ■
rii/iy do, at its stitching room, So. 730 Chestnut
