The PENKBYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL EXHIBI
TION.—Aspring exhibition cf the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society opened this morning, atthe
Musical Fund Hall. The sudden cold ‘‘snap”
has interfered materially with the expectations of
the Committee of Arrangements. Many of those

were afraid' to send their flowers, ’and some of the
flowers, upon.their arrival at the hall, this morn
ing, were found to bare been killed by the frost.
The display, though not as large as was antici
pated, is very fine. There are three tables, two
on each side of the hall, extending nearly the
whole length of the room, and the third in the
centre. These tables are pretty well. filled The
side tables are occupied by collections of various
kinds oilplants, and there are also some exceed
ingly fine specimens of early vegetables. The
centre table is devoted principally to cut flowers,
bouquets and aquariums. Suspended fromaframe
work over this table are some very beautiful
hanging baskets. The collection of cut flowers
displayed at the lower eud of the table is magnifi
cent. There are also upon this table a number of
large and beautifully arranged bonquets. Theexhi
biton will continue open until eleven o’clock to
night. It is well worthy of a visit.

Captain Harry Beebe, of his staff. The party will

the blockade Bteamer Nawman, which in attempt
ing to run the blockade, ran aground, and to pre
vent her from falling into our hands was set on
fire and burned.
An officer of the United States steamer Olvde
has kindly fnrnißhed me with some additional par
ticulars relative to the destruction of the blockade
running steamer Nawman, as well as the captnre
of several more bales of cotton. My informant

of February, and discovered a steamer on fire in
side tbe bar: It proved to be tbe blockade rnnn».r
Newman, thf same vessel that fired into the Sea
Bird a few weeks ago. She made several attempts
togetont. but did not succeed. She had onboard
some two hundred bales of cotton. The United
States steamer Nita sent; in her boats to eapture
her, upon which the crew of the Nawman set her
on file and deserted her,after having thrown over
board filty-tbree bales of co ton to lighten her.
These were picked up by the Nita.
On the Clyde coming to an anchor,’ Acting En
sign Jones apd Maker's Mk?e Dexten went up in
a boat to reconnoitre tbe wreck. Ou nearing it a
boat wat f-e* n putting off from her. Chase was
given, and two men, named Ryder and Taylor,
were captured. From the men information was
obtained that sixty-eight bales of cotton were np a
creek branching off from' Snwanee river,'about
ten miles from the entrance.
Next day Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Hooper,
commanding this vessel, organized an expedition
with the gig and cutter, in Acting
Ensign Raskin and Acting Master’s Mate Palmer,
to proceed up the river and bring off the cotton.
Af;er an {absence of twenty-four h ors they re
turned, bringing with them sixty.seven bales of
cotton. I would also state that tbe Nawman had
on board a six-pounder, thiTty muskets and plenty
of grape and canister. I have been informed that
she intended to fight her wav through the block
ading squadron. We are bringing down some 24
refugees from Cedar Keys.
There is a report at Snwanee River that our
foTceß have wbipped'General Finnegan, and cap
tured nearly ail his men.
There is nothing ef consequence stirring here.
The steam transport Hussar left yesterday, witn a
detachment of the 16th New- York Cavalry,

Supreme Court—Ohief Justice Woodward,
and Justices Thompson, Strong, Read and Ague w.
—An opinion was delivered by Justice Agnew, in
the following ca-e:
Kl&pp and Stump, complainants, plaintiff in
error, vs. The Lebanon Valley Bank, George Hoff
man, eta]., defendant in error. So much of the.
decree of the Court below as relates to the stock of
Myers and Shaw in the Lebanon Valley Bauk and
the costs is reversed, and it is ordered that the
Lebanon Valley Bank transfer in due form upon
tbe bocks of the said Bank, to the complainants
named in the bill, the one hundred and fifty five
shims ol ftock, standing in the names of the said
M j ers and Shaw, and to pay to them the dividends
heretofore allowed on them, and that the said
Myere and Shaw, and their assigns or any person
claiming tbe said stock, shall be perpetually de
barred and precluded from recovering the same or
tbe value thereof, or any dividend? thereof, lrom
the said Lebanon Valley Bank.
Nisi Prius—Justice Agnew.—Barnes vs. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Before re
ported. This morning the defence opened. It is
alleged that when the Company came into posses
sion-of the . State Works they found- the can 1,
especially that portion between H'-llidaysburg
and huntington, in a very dilapidated condition,
owing to the fact that the superior facilities offered
by the railroads, had depreciated the value of the
canal property as a mode of transportation
That under the contract of sale
the company was only required to keep up tba
canal, but not to enl&ige it or deepen it. No with
standing this view ol their obligation the company
d d place the works in repair in accordance with
the suggestions of a competent engineer, and a? an
evidence of the work done Mr Cayler referred to
the fact, from t 857 to 1&63 the following mechani
cal structures were placed qn the canal: On the
lower Juniata Division 4, And on the Upper Ju
niata 22 locks; repairing upon the lower .TuniatA
36, and on the upper Juniata 33 lock
gates; 60 bridges on tbe lower, aad 56
bridges on the upper Juniata re
built, together with extensive repairs to dams
an d waste ways. Upon this line of canal thus re
built, the receipts and expenditures of the com
pany during the seven years were as follows: Ag
gregate receipts lrom the Lower Jnniata, SUL
-236 10; expenditures, «i 53,523 45. Aggregate re
ceipts from the Upper Juniata, $15,184 90; expen
ditures, $149,606 05. The defence further allege
that plaintiff had not shown any damage to
himself, inasmuch as the testimony showed
that he made the same number of round
trips since 1557 as prior to that time. It
was further alleged that the evidence for
the defence would establish that the oompany had
made tin* most ample preparations for repairs to
the canal whenever there was a break. The re
pairs to the canal since the purchase from ’he
Mate were made gradual in order to avoid the ne
cessity for stopping all traffic; that the whole of
the canal from Hollldaysbnjg to Huntingdon has
been reccns ructed, with the exception of dredg
ing, to which the company is now about to address
itself. On trial.
The 100th Kegiitent, “Soundheads, ” will
leave Camp Copeland lor Annapolis on Wednes
day next. Colonel Least:re has anthority lrom.
General Burnside to recruit above the maximum,
and the surplus will be organized into companies
ol sharps shooters.

EQUITABLE
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF

ASSETS OVER $700,000.
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Since tne first of December, 1863, THE EQUIT
ABLE LIFE. AbSURVNCE SOCMETY has
issued orer NINE HUNDRED POLICIES, as
sunng an aggrega-e of about THREE MILLION
DOLLARS. Tne Society has outstanding ri-ks to
the amount of Eleven Million Dollars, and its In
come for the year 1864 wjll reach the handsome
snm of five hundred thousand dollars. No Life
Insurance Company ever organized in this country
can show so proud arecord of immediate success,
and prompt, progressive prosperity. To have se
cured an income of half a million dollars in the
flUh year of its existence, an achievement of
which any organization may well afford to boast.
In respect to the expenses of the Equitable So
ciety, it is the fact that their ratio HAS BEEN
LESS THAN THAT OF ANYLTFE COMPANY
ORGANIZED WITHIN A DOZEN YEARS,
The Company's losses have, moreover, been
comparatively few, up to this time; having in their
number fallen far short of the regularly received
tables of expectation upon which the science of
life insurance is based. The Equitable Society is
purely mutual in its operations, every cent of
profit over the actual cost of insuring being divi
ded among the policy holders, who are thus made
members, as it were, of a mutual benefit ass-cia
tion. The officers and directors of the Company
are well-known as among our foremost
and a glance at the list of their names will famiEh
abundant explanations of the immense strides to
ward success made by the Company during the
first five years of its history. mh22-3t*
