Great exertion was made bv the Committee, in
having men accredited to the Ward, without pay
ing brokers' commissions; and they now find a
number have been accred.ted, of -whom they had
n« knowledge, and are yet without the proper
legal evidence: bnt which they are satisfied will be
produced. A s far as they can learn, atoht 150 men
are accredited to the Ward in addition to those
already paid, costing 53,750. We have an expense
of printing and publishing, say S3OO, which will
require abeut 81,300 yet to be collected. There
may be more credits to our Ward, ot veterans, who
are now re-enlisting, which would require a
rather larger amount. It has been published to
the world that we would pay every man accredited
to the Ward, and we are in honor bound to do so.
Some of the Precincts have answered the call
most freely, and if the others would do as well, we
would both insure our Ward from this draft and
have no one to repToach ub for having deceived
them. That we have filled our quota at the ex
pense ef honesty,musfnever be said of the Ninth
Ward.

MUSICAL.
M. Theodore Habelitann, the fine tenor of
the German Opera, will have reason to remember
Philadelphia gratefully. Last evening a compli
mentary amateur concert was given to him in the
Foyer of the Academy of Music, which was filled
with a fashionable company. The only profes
sional performer, besides M. Habelmann himself,
was H. Wolfsohn, the pianist, and his services
were given gratuitously. A lady amateur and a
gentleman amateur were the vocalists. The lady
possesses a fine, pure, sympathetic mezzo-so
prano voice, which has been highly cultivated.
Her singing in Mendelssohn’ b duo “I would that
my Love,” with M. Habelmann, and in the
highly dramatic duo from La Traviala, with the
gentleman amateur, was worthy of an experienced
artist. In the solo from I Puritani, ‘ ‘Qui la
voce, ’ ’ she distinguished herself, particularly in
the .chromatic runs and other ornamental pas
sages of the last movement. The gentleman ama
teur, who possesses a remarkably fine barytone
voice, also delighted every one, especially in the
noble duet from The Sicilian Vespers, with M. Ha
belmann. A young gentleman, a pupil of M.
Wolfeohn’s, assisted in a grand duo for two pia
nos, which was given with fine effect. Of course
M. Habelmann’s singing of several German, songs
was charming. The concert was a great success
in every way, and we are glad to learn that it puts
a handsome sum. into the hands of the deserving
beneficiary.

How "We Do It.—Almost simultaneously'
tk® arrival of our escaped officers from the
filth and famine of the Libby Prison at Richmond,
£? m * es * a * ar £ e hody of rebel prisoners bound for
lort Delaware. Amonr the number, -was the
notorious Basil Duke, the right-band man of John
Morgan; a common guerilla ahd horse thief.
This fine gentleman, instead of being at ©nee
transferred to Fort Delaware, was lodged, on his
arrival, at the Continental Hotel, where he was
petted and feted by some of our “Sympathiz
ers” as if be were some distinguished guest. A.ll
the luxuries of the season, with champagne and
cigars ad libitum j were placed at his command
and yesterday he went on his way to Fort
Delaware, doubtless chu klingin his sleeve over
hfs good fortune In enjoying Yankee freedom and
hospitality on such an extensive scale. We passed
him on Chestnut street on his way to the boat. and
could not but be struck with the cunning twinkle
of the rascal’s eye, beneath theahaae of his broad
brimmed felt, as he. sauntered along, quite un
moved by-the busy scenes a-ound him.
_We have always advocated the kind treatment
°r prisoners, and they always receive it at
the hands of the government, but loyal men have
good cause to complain at the excessive leniency
displayed in such cases as the one just referred to
We do not know who the officer was who
had Duke in charge, but he onght to be
made to know that it is an insult
to a community like ours to have such exhibitions
of misplaced tenderness made in a loyally. A
short residence in a Southern prison would give
such officers a better idea of their duty.
More Rebel Prisohebs Yesterday 358
rebel prisoners arrived, in this city from Lonts
vule, Kentucky, which place they left on Menday
evening last. They were captured at Knoxville
about three months ago, and then taken to Nash
ville, but subsequently sent to Louisville, where
ihey were confined. While on the way to this city
two of them escaped. The prisoners were taken
to Fort Delaware in the steamer Ashland.
Shortly after six o’clock, last evening, another
lot of rebel prisoners, numbering five hundred,
arrived at the foot of Washington street, from
Alh n, Illinois, where they have been confined for
some time in the Military Prison. These left
Alton cn Monday morning, and the cars not being
provided with lights, ten of them succeeded in
making tbeir escape ont of the windows unknown
to the guard before Illinois was passed through.
A portion of these five hundred were captured at
the siege of Vicksburg, and the remainder at
-Helena, Arkansas. This party was also taken to
Fort Delaware. Upwards of two thousand rebel
prisoners have been sent down to the fort within
ihe last four days.
The Childbeds Hospital.—The annua
report of the managers of this institute states that
the admissions during 1£63 were ninety-nine. The
discharges and deaths eightv-eight—sixteen re
main under treatment. The Dispensary patients
number 1906, who have attended 4561 times for
medical advice. In accordance with the recom
mendation of the Managers at their last annual
meeting, no visits hare teen made to children out
side the Hospital. The annual expenditure,
notwithstanding the advanced price of provisions,
and other necessaries, only exceeds that of 1562 by
$403 75, which, considering the greater amount of
business done, shows the most economical outlay.
The Cousoiption of Gas.—The annual
report of the Trustees of the Philadelphia Gaa
Works, which has been, issued, shows that the
quantity of gas manufactured during the year has
been 735,693,000 cubicfeet; the increase over the
previous year is 78,741,00 u feet. This increase is
largely owing, to the increased activity in manu
facturing of all kinds, and to the change in the
public lamps from fluid logos. The whole quantity!
made under tbe Trust from its commencement isi
6,9U5,251,000 cubic feet. , The largest consumption!
in twenty-four hours to. this time is 3,548,000 cubic
feet.
Applications for Gas.— During, the past!
year, the applications lor g'as, registered, were at
the Seventh Street Office, 5,717; Spring Garden
Office, 2,5G7; Twenty-first Ward Office, 133;i
Twenty, second Ward Ofltce, 253 ; Twenty-third
Ward Office, 95; Twenty-fourth Ward Office,!
41G; Total, 9,561. Deducting removals and dis
continuances, amounting to 7,452, shows an
increase of 2,099, which, added to-former consu
mers, mskesa toml-of 4G,52S customers now on the
books of the Trust.
Opening of a New Grammar School.—
Ou Monday next, the Washington Grammar-
School, Fifth street, below Washington avenue,
Secoud Section, will commence operations. Few
schools have started under more favorable aus-i
pices. The building is a new and uncommonly!
line one, admirably located and newly furnished:
throughout, while the corps of teachers selected'
will, it is thought, prove entirely competent to in
sure its success.
TnE Pcblic Lamps.— The whole nnmber of
public lamps under the care ol the Trustees of the
Philadelphia Gas Works, at the close of the year,
was 7,207, of which 7.159 are lighted with gas, and
18 with fluid; whilst 173 have been changed from
fluid to gas during the year, to the manifest con
venience and security of the public. The entire
number of lights supplied with gas trom the Citv
Works is 557,979, being an inci'ease oi 26,797 during
the year.
Suspicion of Larceny.— This morning
about two o’ clock a man, who gave the name of
William Wilson was overhauled at Marshall street
whari. He had in his possession a bag containing
two sets of harness. While the officer was examin
ing the bag "Wilson slipped off and hid himself in a
box. He was recaptured, however, and was sub
sequently committed for a further hearing by Aid.

U. S. Internal Revesue—Second District.
We call attention to the official announcement of
Mr. John H. Diehl, Collector of Internal

of the First, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth
Wards of the city.

nine o’ clock, from his late residence, No. 1506

Third street, was entered by burglars a night or
two since. They blew open an iron safe and car
ried off some papers. After ransacking the build
ing thoroughly, they decamped, having l only se
cured about five dollars in money.
Union' Refugees at Cairo.— Rev. E. Fol
som, chaplain of the Post Hospital at Cairo, is

ing for these sufferers. The unmhers are increas
ing, and large amounts in money and clothing re
quired. Contributions may be sent, as heretofore,
to H. N. Thissell, Esq., 929 Chestnut street.
Ninth Ward.—We call attention to the offi

and honor of the Ward, as will be seen by the ad

A Down-east Wedding.— There was a
4 »Down* east’ * wedding celebrated lately, wherein
the bride and groom were attired in the mode which
prevailed a century or so ago. The gioom was in
awhite powdered wig with a queue, a richly
embroidered blue velvet cutaway coat, with yellow
• kcee breeches, white stockings and bn ckled shoes.
•The bride’s hair was also powdered, and her dress
consisted of a richly-figured white satin, with puff
sleeves. The “make-up* l of the .patties was
quaint: but the groom did not prescat that neat
and tasteful appearance peculiar to grooms of A.

“Its author has been unwilling to live on the

things that hitherto may have been in doubt :
First, that he is thoroughly familiar with every
form and condition of anxat disease, and that he
comprehends every variety of curative remedy

GENERAL BUTLER’S DEPARTMENT.
Noefolk, "V a., March 3, bill, —ln addition to
supplying the city with gas, regulating the streets
and controlling the city banks, General Butler
has taken in hand the reorganization of the fire
department. A preliminary and fundamental
step has been the bringing on a new and first-class
steam engine from Philadelnhla, where it was
built expressly for use here .The name of the new
engine is Benjamin F. Butler. Chief Engineer
Decker and Assist. Engineer Banlch came on with
the engine to put her in proper running trim. This
morning she was fired up and gave a good account
01 herself and promise of future usefulness in ex
tinguishing fires. All the old hand engines are
undergoing repairs, and we shall have a fire de
partment, if not metropolitan in magnitude, at
least capable of preventing a recurrence of any of
the large and destructive fires happening here
from lack of the means and appliances to combat
them.
COURTS.
Niei Fkius—Chief Justice Woodward The
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company vs. The
Bea-Ter Meadow Bailroad . and Coal Company.
Thu morning Chier Justice Woodward delivered
a long opinion. The Lehigh Coal and navigation
Company had filed their bill m equity, claiming,
among other things,- the legal authority to con
struct a railroad along the Upper Lehigh from the
head of their navigation at or near hlauch Chunk
to lhe Susquehanna and Lehigh Bailroad, at
white Haven, and they allege that in
April last they entered upon the premises
and staked out a railroad between these
points, and were preparing and intending
to construct the same without uecessarv delay, but
they complain ihat the Beaver Meadow Bailroad
and Coal Company, >‘in order to defeat the said
intentions of your orators, have recently entered
upon and taken possession of the gToand on which
your orators had located their said road, and now
occupy the same with large bodies of workmen,
who areengaged thereon under the directions of
the said Beaver Meadow Bailrcad and Coal Com
pany, in grading the same for the purposes of lay
ing down a third track of railroad from Maneh
Chunk to Penn Haven, without authority of law,
and in violation of the rights of yonr orators. ’ ’
After referring to the various acts of Assembly
controlling bo.h Companies the Judge held that,
under the act of 2203, the Lehigh Company had
made their election to construct a railroad upon'
the site of their old works; but the Beaver Mea
dow Bailroad was not to be interfered with, but
adings ot this Company are to be built in sub
ordination to the rights of the Lehigh Company.
His conclusions are thus set forth; After much
ieilection upon all that has been exhibited to me, I
bave come to the conclusion that I shall best pro
mote the public interests, as well as the interests of
these respective Companies by,ordering that all
the new sidings of the Beaver Meadow Company
above the Turn hole be placed upon the west side
of their main track; that for this purpose they have
leave to transfer their main track eastward at
points where such transfer will facilitate the in
ireuitetion of a siding on the west side,'provided
they do not biing their main track at snch points
within eight feet of either track of the Lehigh Com
pany road; that they surrender to the Lehigh
Company the walls and embankmrnts they have
already constructed for purposes of sidings on the
east side of their track, so far as the same are
within the lines of the railroad located by the
Lehigh Company, at a valuation.io he agreed on
between the parties or by two men mutually chosen
by them with power to chose ah umpire, and that
the Lehigh Company expend an amount equal to
that valuation in grading the track for the siding
on the west side of main track of Beaver'Meadow
Company.
The effect of all these rulings is;
1. To establish plaintiffs right to build the Tail
road they have located or begun.
, 2. To establish' tbe right of delendents to build
all necessary sidings andthat the projected sidings
are necessary.
3. That siding No. 1 is well built where it is but
is not to be extended to tbe old bridge.
4. That the old bridge and th 9 track leading on to
it liom the north are to be left as they are, subject
to such repairs as defendants may chose to place
upon them.
5. That all new sidings above the turn-hole he
built on the west side of the tracks of the Beaver
Meadow Company.
C. That the plaintiffs be uninterrupted in building
a bridge at the turn-hole and their road as located,
hut that they compensate defendants m the man
ner prescribed, for the labor and material of de
fendants which they appropriate.
J do not suppose that these conclusions are as
well lor the parties as they would have done for
themselves if they had accepted the suggestion to
consolidate their capital and their energies: but
they are the best X have been able io reach after a
candid and patient hearing and consideration of
the whole case. Counsel will prepare a decree for
special injunction to issue in accordance with this
opinion upon plaintiffs giving bond with surety,
to be approved by the Frothonotary in 520,000, and
each party will pay their own costs. .
