General Meade, with Captain Meade and Cap

It appears from a letter from the Commissioner
of Pensions that only twelve of the revolutionary
soldiers aTe now living. Their ages vary from 94*
to 10b years, and their pensions only from $24 to
$96 per annum. ,
It appears from official data m the possession -of
the War Department, that since February 25,1862,
the Illinois Central Railroad has receivedfortrans
portation of troops and supplies $308,000; the Burlc
ington and Missouri road §3,500, and the Missis
sippi and Missouri road only §4o—making a total
of §311,000. The accounts of the Illinois- Central,
prior to March 3, 1862, were settled on the basis of
the tariff of tbe road when-such rate* did not ex •
ceed those of the Scott tariff of 1861, and one-third
• deducted from, the amount thus found due subse
quently to March* 1602. The accounts accord with
the regulation* of that date, made by the Quarter
master-General, in accordance with the sugges
tions of railroad managers convened in Washing
ton by the Secretary of War. ~
The Whiskey bill, as it has now passed both
Houses of Congress and awaits the President’s
signature, imposes a tax of 60 cents a gallon on all
spirits which may be distilled and sold,or distilled
and removed for consumption or sale, previous to
the l6t day of July next. Any tax after this time
is to be provided for by future legislation, and
Will, doubtless, be inserted in the supplemental
tax bill now under considt ration by tlie Commit
tee of W&ys and Means. The Whiskey bill im
poses an additional tax of 40 cents per gallon on
imported spirits on hand. The sliding scale of
duties on both domestic and foreign spirits and a
tax on the stock on hand of domestic spirits have
no place in this bill.
It is ascertained from an official source that the
orders requiring the draft to take place on the 10th
inst. are suspended. A subsequent day for com
mencing the draft will be announced in time to
make all necessary preparations.

During the past week the Bey. Father Chi

Koman Catholic Church, but more recently a
J r °n 3tant i Sm > has been lecturing at
f. Of course, his principal object was to de
pounce Popery and its influences, and beinc a
talented speaker, it is not to be wondered at
tnat he has succeeded to a remarkable decree
in his undertaking. His remarks appear to
have met with considerable derision from the
Roman Catholic portion of the community, and
a few easily excited people of that class had
resolved to be revenged. Bach day the sub
ject occasioned much comment,and on Saturday
afternoon, culminated in open hostilities. The
church edifice of Rev. Hr. Desroche, where
Father Chmiqny had been lecturing, was vi
sited hy_. an mluriated mob, who demolished
the windows, and played sad havoc with the
building generally The church is situated
near the suburbs of the city, consequently the
damage ito the building was done before any
one, excepting those, engaged iq the affair
knew anything about it. ’

THE GREAT
CEKTKAL FAIR,
FOR THE
Sanitary Commission.
Philadelphia, 1307 Chestnut Street
February 20,1864.
The undersigned, members of the Executive
Committee of th** GREAT CENTRAI* FAIR for
the Sanitary Commission. To eg to invite the co-ope
ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is
proposed to bold the Fair in Philadelphia, In the
FIRST WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con
fidently expected that the contributions coming
from a popnla ion so benevolent and patriotic as
that which inhabits the Central States, and repre
senting tbe most important, and varied branches of
industry and art, y- ili secure a result in aid ol the
funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of
the Soldier, at least equal to that which has at
tended similar undertakings in other cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy for the soliier. We feel for them all as
brethren, and the popular h*art seeks only the
best mode of manifesting that sympathy in the
most efficient end practical way, The>e fairs in
other places have beemproducti ve of great results.
By this means Chicago ha*- recently raised for this
object SGO,CUO, Boston Sis<>, GOO. uud Cincinnati
more th ;a. £200,000. We appeal, then, with the
greatest confidence to tb** inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
gieat industrial classes, to tend as contributions
the productions of iheir skill aud workmanship.
We appeal to them m the interest of no pirty,
radical or conservative. Republican or Democratic,
Administration or anti* Administration. We know
only this, that to send our national soldiers in the
field supplies to supplement those Gqverment un
dertakes to give them, but which they sometimes
. fail to receive, and.thus to relieve them when sick
and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and
that it is & work of intelligent patriotism also, as
economizing their life, health and efficiency, on
which, under God, the nation depends in this Us
time oi trouble.
We therefore ask every clergyman to announce
this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to do what they can to further it. We
ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the
most earnest encourac*xneut, ws call on every
workshop, factory and mill for a specimen of the
best thing it can turn out; on every artist, great
and small, for one of his creations; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus
try; on farmers, for the products of their fields
and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man
of science, the traveler, can each send -something
that can at the very least be Converted into a
blanket that will warm, and may save from death,
some one soldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
thing that has money value is Invited to given
sample of his best work as an offering to the cause
of nauonal unity. Every workingman, mechanic
or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a
barrel oi apples, is called on to contribute some
thing that can be turned into money, and again
from money into the means of economizing the
health and the life of our national soldiers.
■j~- Committees have been appointed in each depart
ment of industry d art. whose business it will
be tosolicit contributions for the Fair, each in its
own special branch. T hese Committees will place
their selves in commnniaauon with those persons
who may wish to aid ns. In the meantime it is
recommended that local committees or associations
should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view ot
organizing the industry of their respective nelgh
boihoodt, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair.
Committees of Ladies hare also been organized
toco operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions.
A list of all these Committees will be shortly
published and distributed. In the meantime those
who are disposed to aid us, or who may desireany
farther information on the subject, are requested
to address CHARLES J. STILLE, Corresponding
Secretary < f the Executive Committee or the Great
Central Fair, 13u7 CHESINUT Street.
