NOTICE TO CARPENTERS.—GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR FOR SANITARY
UOMMISSION.
A meeting of Employing Carpenters of Phila
delphia, will be held at the Hall of -the Carpen
ters' Company, Chestnut, below Fourth street,
on SATURDAY EVENING, April 9th, at
o' clock, to adopt a plan of organization in aid of
the Great Fair of tb e Sanitary Commission. A
full attendance is earnestly requested.
The Managing Committee of the Carpenters'
Company have kindly volunteered the use of their
Hall for the meeting.
By request of the Committee on Buil
ders. apE-2t§
or, GBEAT CENTRAL PAIR.
At a Meeting of the Executive Committee of
'the Philadelphia Branch of the U. S. Sanitary
Commission, held April 6, 1664, a petition numer
ously signed was presented, proposing„ . "that the
avails of the Fair (the great Central Fair for the
Sanitary Commission) should be equally divided
between the two societies" (the Sanitary and the
Christian Commission); whereupon the following
resolution was adopted, and ordered to be . pub
lished :
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Committee,
the application in aid of the Christian Commis
sion has been made under a misapprehension, both
of the power of this Committee and the necessities
of the Sanitary Commission. This Committee con
ceive that they have no power to divert any por
tion of the funds to be raised at the approaching
Pair, to any objects distinct from that originally
announced to the Public, and if they had such
power, in view of the Sanitary wants of the
Armies of the Union, they would not feel at
liberty to exercise it, even in favor of so excellent
an organization as that of the Christian Com
mission.
In order to show the true relations existing
between the two Commissions in the matter of
army supplies, and to dispel any apprehension
which may be felt, lest the Christian Commission
should be deprived of whatever aid these supplies
may give it in the prosecution of its special work,
the following extract of an order issued to each
Inspector of the Sanitary Coetmission in the field,
by F. L. Olmsted, Esq., the General Secretary,
under date of December 16, 1662, was also directed
to be published :
You are instructed, whenever the - delegates of
the Christian Commission offer to give you their
aid for battle-field relief operations, or in other
emergencies, to accept it gratefully, and, for the
time being, you will deal with them, as far as pos
sible, in the same manner as you would if each in
dividual bad been sent to yon for special battle
field duty by officers of the Sanitary Commission.
"Yon are also instructed at all times to gives
special attention" to the representations of the ac
credited agents of the Christian Commission with
regards to the wants of the hospitals, and will
^meet those wants to the extent of the means at your
control as far as possible, consistently with a just
prospective regard for the wants of others.

w - THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR,
OF THE. STATES OF PENNSYLVANIA,
NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE.
THE OGMMITTEE in the Department of
LOOKING GLASSES, PICTURE FRAMES,
&c., &c.. earnestly invite the co-operation and
contributions of all interested in this branch
throughout the United States. It has now become
such a prominent feature in manufactures and
trade, and its fabrics enter so largely into the lux
uries and even the necessities of life, that its
importance should be fully sustained by the libe
ral assistanee - and hearty encouragement of all di
rectly or indirectly connected with the business.
ouch a really beautiful, peculiar and profitable
display could be made, • as would entitle this
branch to great consideration, and the responses
already received to a circular forwarded to other
cities, are so favorable as to lead the committee to
hope for very large donations.
Hardly a plea need be urged for the noble object
of the Sanitary Commission, for which the Great
Centrcil Fair is to be held: The wide-spread be
nevolent operations and extraordinary assistance
rendered our brave soldiers in almost every posi
tion, by the Commission, are now "household
words, and to enable them to continue these ope
rations, and to render them even more effective,
under greater expenses and more pressing demand,
is the purpose in view in the Fair.
It would be difficult to make any specification of
the articles which may be contributed; but, any
thing manufactured or - sold, in any way apper
taining to this branch, Would be most acceptable.
Looking-glasses, framed or unframed, frames for
glasses, picture, portrait or photograph frame, gilt
or stained, tables, of every character, brackets,
cornices, or gilded ornaments. The prodUctions,
also, of those who manufacture only for the trade,
in the shape of moulding, ovals frames ready for
the gilder, in a word, every thing which is con
vertible into cash for the treasury of the Commis
sion.- Donations in money may be handed to any
gentleman of the Committee, at any time.
As much time and labor is required of the Com
mittee, in the collecjon and arrangement of the
arlicles—a speedy response to this call is desirable.
As early in May as possible, contributions shoald
be placed at their disposal. Mark Goods "Great
Central Fair,. Philadelphia," and send by say
liailretad.„ew-Ssevreese,-- CollnThiltions in its'.

GEORGE SAND.
The eyes of all Paris are just now turned upon
George Sand, who has burst into a recrudence
of popularity to which the promulgation of the
secret of her age has given a new feature. To
the great surprise of the public, she is proved
to 'have been born in 1804, thus making her
Sixty years of age, which declaration adds
another motive of astonishment to the success
just obtained by the "Marquis de Vellemer."
George Sand has been compelled to quit her
loved retreat of Nahant, in consequence of
the expenses attendant on the maintenance of
that system of open-housekeeping which she so
thoughtlessly had entered into. A daily
banquet, followed by theatricals in the theatre
of the little chateau—rides and drives in
George's own carriages, with George's own
horses—bed and board provided for all guests
who chose to make Nahant their home for as
long as it might suit their convenience—com
posed a method of running through a fine in
come most easy of acquirement. This new
success will, however, soon set the chatelain
on her legs again. Prince Napoleon gave a
banquet in her honor, at which she was not
present, but was represented by her son, who
calls himself Maurice Sand, with the greatest
sangfroid, assuming his mother's name of glory
instead of her family appellation. During the
fereur which seized upon the students, a curi
ous mystification occurred. A poor old lady,
who had ventured to cross the Place, being
taken for the great authoress, was squeezed,e rn-)
braced and hustled, until she was finalli
hoisted in the arms of the enthusiasts, hi
spite of her screams of terror, and carried about
in triumph till she fainted, and the apoth.
ecaries' shop in the Rue Racine became her
retreat. Long after the occurrence, the shoe,
of ample dimensions, which she had worn, and
which had come off in the struggle, was borne
as a trophy on the top of the umbrella flour
ished by. the leader of the row. When it be- •
came known that the old lady was not George
Sand at all, but a poor merciere of the Rue
Vangirard, the reaction was of course tremen
dous; the shoe was cast into the gutter, the
hymns of praise were all unsung, and the most
ironical couplets addressed to the fair object of
the mistake. The whole adventure would be
comical were it not for the paralysis; occasioned
by the fright, which 'has seized upon the old
lady, from the effects of which it is feared she
will not recover.—Boston Post.

Generul Seymour and Lieutenants Jackson and
Bradshaw, the aid. de-camp, are now here await
ing orders.
A few days since one of the blockaders off one of
the inlets nor , h of Charleston bar discovered a
small boat at sea and picked it up. A party of
refugees, six or eight in number, wire found in it,
and were taken on board the blockader. They
were from Charleston,
which place they had es
caped from but a few days previously, to get rid
of the conscription. They bring in some inte
resting reports.
The rebel rams, which can be plainly discerned
on the stocks, on a fair day, from Gregg and our
batteries near Cummings Point, are suffering con
siderably from our lire, which is directed against
them whenever the weather is favorable for prac
tice. Our shells have driven the rebel workmen
away so frequently that they cannot be induced to
work regularly upon them. 'a Several of the ship
carpenters have been wounded, and the balance
are almost panic stricken. The rams themselves
have been repeatedly hulled and badly shattered.
In fact, at one time it was Mond impossible to re
pair damages as fast as injuFiea were sustained by
them. The range has been obtained, and our shells
strike and explode every time in the immediate
neighborhood of the shipyards, or in the yards
themselves. The lire has had the effect of post
poning the launching of the rains, and may ef
fectually prevent it altogether. It , will be main-
Mined hereafter.
The rebel "Davids'' have been seen several
times lately at 'night by our picket boats which
cruise about Fort Sumter. There are two or three
of these "Davide," or torpedo boats, of the Caine
character as the one that exploded a torpedo under
the bottom of the frigate New Ironsides, and with
more success, subsequently destroyed the sloop
of. war Housatonic. These singular crafts are
seen cruising about the inner harbor, above Fort
Sumter, either doing picket duty or watching an
opportunity to make a raid on blockaders. It is
unnecessary to say that Commodore Rowan, the
veteran commander of the . New Ironsides, and the
commanding officer of the South Atlantic block
ading squadron, is as vigilant as man cau be,' and
has made every needful preparation to receive the
Davids in the best possible style. The rebels will
not walk over a bed of roses when they go ou their
next crusade.
Recently our batteries have thrown a few shell
daily Into the city—just enough to let the rebels
know.that we are alive on Morris Island, and pro
poee to hold that point. The thirty-pounder
Parrott, which has been firing - for some time past,
finally gave out the other day, at about the four
thousand, six hundred and some odd round. As
it was fired at a high elevation, which is considered
the most trying on any gun, the fact that it endured
so long proves the value of the invention. The
Wiard gun is to be tested in the same severe way,
and from the experiments some very valuable
results will be obtained of interest to ordnance
officers and to the world.
Brigadier-General Wm. Birney; commanding
colored troops, has relieved General Saxton at
Beaufort. The change is a temporary one only,
and General Saxton will reassume command on
the termination of the Gordon Court Martial, of
which he is President. General Birney has issued
some general orders relating to colored people.
Lieutenant• Colonel Ilan, Provost Marshal
General of the department, goes North to-day on
the Arago, with thirty or forty prisoners of war,
under a recent order from the War Department.
The rumors floating about this department, that
General Gillmore nas been ordered to the Army of
the Potomac as Chief Engineer; is regarded by
those who ought to know as perfectly idle and
without foundation.
On dit, that General Togdes will be the com
mander of the district of Florida when the Gordon
case is closed.
Dr. M. M. Marsh, Inspector of the United States
Sanitary Commission of this department, goes
.North by the Arago, on business connected with
the Sanitary Commission. '
Commander Thos. H. Stevens has been relieved
from the iron- clad Patapsco, and ordered to report,
it is said, to the War Department at Washington,
to perform special duty with Lieut. -General Grant
in the Army of the Potomac. Commander James
Madigan succeeds in the command of the'
Patapsco.

CARD.--WILEBURTON'S HATS.—The new
shapes for Spring wear are! now ready. Gen
tlemen are respectfully invited to call and effmni hie
them. It is believed that the styles now being of
fered will prove very pleasing. The brims are
made narrower—than heretofore, conforming
in this respect to the est fashions
of London and Paris, and in com
pliance with the expressed wish of many
who give attention to matters of dress in this city
as well as in New York. Broader brims will be
kepkin stock, or made to order for those who desire
therd.
The prices of silk, as 'well as felt hats, have
necessarily advanced. Nearly every article en
tering into their construction being either prepared
or produced abroad, can consequently be bought
only with gold or its equivalent. Such is the en
hanced cost of material and labor that the very
lowest grade of silk hat (when made of new stock)
cannot be retailed for less than five dollars. Every
endeavor has been made to maintain the quality,
and to keep near to the prices of the times pre
ceding the rebellion.
Present prices lorfine dress hats are now $6 and
$7. For blocking or refinishing hats an increase of
price is also made necessary.

spirit, Miss KeeLe; Mr. Lorick, Mr. Dyott, Mrs.
Tyrrell and the remainder of the double company
acting with energy, feeling and taste. The altar
piece this evening is "S.arah , e Young Man,"
