ASSOCIATION. —At a regular stated
meeting of the above Association, held at the Hall,
Twelfth and Filbert Streets, on TUESDAY
"EVENING, April 12th, the following resolution
was adopted: " That in future this Association
be known under the name of Ninth Ward Lincoln.
Assoctat,on.
The following resolutions were then presented
by Sheriff Thompson, and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The existing Rebellioa of the people of
the Southern States having originated before and
continued during the Presidential term of Abraham
Lincoln. and the extraordinary and unprecedented
magnitude of the duties which have devolved upon
him, and which he has discharged In a manner so
entirely satisfactory to the loyal American people,
and that the suppreseion of the
existing wicked and
iftrimpre=4,-irdiriewqA=iimi:.
Northern people, and that no man, in the present
emergency, possesses higher qualifications and
more enlightened and ardent patriotism to perform
the duties of the office of President, therefore,
Resolved, That any attempt at this time to divide
and distract our loyal people, having for its object
the substitution of another man io fill the execu
tive office, or the introduction of other issues than
the paramount object of a restoration of the Union
on a firm and enduring basis, as contemplated by
his administration, would not only be giving aid
and comfort to the rebels, but would materially
result in their success, and bring irreparable dis
aster to the Government in its efforts to suppress
the rebellion.
Resolved. That we will support no man for a
delegate to the Union National Convention who is
not decided' y, ilrpt and last, in favor of the nomi
nation of Abraham Lincoln for the office of Pre
sident of the United t• tales.

ARREST 07 A. SUPPOSED ESCAPED PEISONBB.—
Last baturday afternoon Brig. -Gen. Tyler, in
command at the Washington Junction, received
information that there was a rebel soldier, who
had escaped from Fort Delaware, concealed in a
farm-house in Montgomery comity, Md. He
despatched a sergeant's guard to.arrest the man.
When they reached the house Indicated, they as
certained that the soldier had secreted himself in
the loft of the house. He had supplied himself
with two revolvers and a rifle. and threatened to
shoot any one who would attempt to ascend the
ladder to arrest hint. The officer in charge of the
guard notified him Several times to come down,
and be as often refused. The officer then made the
family in the house remove their furniture, and he
then set fire to the house. In a short ime the
emeke and heat reached the incorrigible Confede
rate, and he asked for quarters. The officer would
not allow him to come down, however, until he
threw away his rifle and two revolvers. After
doing this. he was allowed to escape from the
flames by jumping out of the garret window. He
was then taken to Baltimore, and locked up in the
military prison. He states his name tq, be M.
McDonald, and that he is a member of a Texas
regiment.
Bra FLooi) Ix THE Rivsnfl.—The recent rains
have had the effect of producing an extraordinary
freshet in oar rivers, and they are pouring oat an
angry flood to-day, with a prospect of their attain
ing a higher stage than has bees reached here for
years.• The Allegheny wharf yesterday presented,
for the Sabbath, an unusual spectacle. Tue water
rose so rapidly , that it threatened to carry off a
large portion of the oil lying on the wharf, and a
number of men and drays were employed during
the day in removing it. Hundreds of barrels were
removed In this way. Yet so - rapidly did the
Water rise that at night the flood was within a few
feet of the lower line of & barrels, and destruction
threatened a large amount of property unless it
was immediately removed. The work of hauling
away the barrels was consequently resumed and
continued until the greater part of the oil In danger
was removed. The low ground 1n Allegheny is
already under water, and those residing In that
portion of the city subject to inundation are mak
ing active preparations for the advent of their un
welcome visitor.—Pittsburgh Chronic/I, 11th.
STRANGE PLACE TOR A Cow. —Yesterday morn
ing a gentleman residing a short distance from the
Baldmore depot, and on the line of the sewer open
ing into the Capitol Branch, told the Fourth Ward
police that for several days past the head of a cow
had appeared at the grating of the sewer which
opened into his • back yard, whenever the slops
from the kitchen were, as usual, thrown upon it,
which she eagerly devoured. The animal was one
of a number which usedlo go into Baldwin's old
shcp for shelter, and broke through the floor into
the sewer Saturday a week since, and wandered
up the sewer so far from the month that it was
deemed next to impossible to get to her. Several
persons had mercifully attempted to drive her out,
but failed. Yesterday morning the police took a'
boy, who had been fined for some light offence,
and had no money to pay, and offered him his dis
missal on condition that be should drive the animal
Out. The boy undertook the job willingly, but
failed, and the animal atUl remains to employ the
invei tive genius of the police.—Washington

HILTON BEAD, April-s.—General Hatii, as soon
as the news of the disa s ter to 'he Maple Leaf
reached him, despatched three companies of the
7th Connecticut regiment up the river in boats to
act as a patrol, and to seek other torpedoes, which
deserters reported were in the stream. In twenty
four hours' time they sent back a torpedo, which
they discovered about ten miles up the river; also,
a reuniter of deserters from New York regiments,
whom they captured some distance up on the lett
bank. The deserters had erected a tint, aul ()b
-uilt A d provisions from 'armors. Other torp- , does
are in the river and will doubtless be soon brought
to light. They are of a pecult •reonstruction. hav
ing three percussion prongs, and will explode at
the least tom h of a hammer
On Saturday last Col. Guy V. Henry, with his
Lightßrigaoe and two regmen ts of infantry, sttried
'from Lem camp before Jacksonville, and pro
ceeded towaro the enemy's lines on a reconnois
sance. When lour miles out they came a•itoas the
enemy's pickets, whom our men drove back to
Six Mile h un—a distance of two miles. Here a
brief skirmish occurred, during which artillery
was used on both sides Col. Relay discovered
the exact position of the rebels, and - ascertained
that they had in line of battle efore him 3,000
men. 'As his purpose was not to bring
on a fight, be slowly returned toward his
camp, but the enemy having shown a disposition
to follow, C.ol. Henry formed his men in line of
battle to receive him, which movement deterred
the rebels from further advancing. Col. Henry
captured one horse and twentr, -five head of cattle,
and bad four men wounded. The rebels lost thirty
in killed and wounded. The names of our wound
ed are: Corp. H. W. Band, Company. B; S. V.
Partridge, Company B; A Copeland, Company
B, all of the Independent Battalion Massachucetts
Cavalry; and B. B. Walsh, Company E, of 90th
Massachusetts Mounted Infantry.
Last Sunday a rebel Captain came into our lines
at Jacksonville and reported that the enemy had a
force of men between there and Baldwin.
At Camp Finnigan there are about 2,000 rebel
cavalry. It is also said cue enemy ha, a considera
ble force between Gainesville and Pilatka.
On the 2d inst. Major A. H Stevens, with a
force of cavalry, left Jacksonville with a view of
- advancing into the into' for some distance and then
joining our forces at Pilatka It is believed he has
successfully accomplished the Movement. -
Gunboats are continually patrolling the rly.er
from Jacksonville to a point a long distance
beyond Palatka. A number of them are kept in
the immediate 'vicinity of Pilatka, so in case of in
attack upon our troops they will be ready to take a
hand in. Thus far the gunboats on the St. John's
have been of incalculable service.
The gunboat Kingfisher, which had been sta
tioned off Otter Island for fifteen months, was
blown ashore during the recent gale and went to -
pieces in a short time. She was an old vessel. and
her planks below water were in a rotten condition.
No lives were lost. Everything of value within
her will be got off, either in a sound or damaged
condition.
HILTON. ILIAD, April E.—Our men, in cruising
up the St. John's river. Fla. , have discovered an
other torpedo, making ten of these machines
picked up in that river within the past week. The
rebels 'who assisted
. in placing them In the stream
came into our lines as deserters. shortly after the
occurrence of the Maple Leaf disaster, and accom
panied our men on their expedition, for the pur
pose of pointing out the precise locality at which
the torpedoes were planted.
By ordei of Captain Reynolds, of the Vermont,
a number of vessels have been despatched to the
assistance tf the wrecked gunboat Kingesher.
Every thing of value, excepting her guns, have
been removed. Her armament, which consisted
of two 12-pounder howitzers; one 20-pounder Par
rott and four 5-inch rifles, will be got off in a
short time.
It is the opinion of naval officers here that Ad
miral Dahlgren will not return to take command
of the South Atlantic Squadron.

but the building, together with a large quantity of
clothing, camp and garrison equipage, and ether
articles, were entirely consumed. An investiga
tion bas been instituted to ascertain the origin of
the fire. It is believed by some that the the was
the work of an incendiary.
On Wednesday night the pickets on Seabrook
Island discovered a dog-out, containing three
men; going up a small creek toward the enemy's
lines. An unsuccessful effort - was made to cap
ture it. It is beheved the men were the same that
escaped from the guard-house on Monday night.
The New Solna, of the Bth instant, says : ale
learn by parties just arrived from Jacksonville,
that a dead negro was eiscovered in St: John's on
Vr ecineseay, some six miles above Jacksonville,
anchored to a torpedo. At the time our informant
left no attempt lad been made to remove the body
or the torpedo. It is somewhat eingalar that the
rebels should Tait their Infernal machines with
contrabands, but such seems to be the fact.

THE DESTRUCTION - OF THE STEAMER
CLIFTON.
Morrespondence of the New York Tribune.]
UNITED STATES STEAMER ARKANSAS, NEW
ORLEANS ' April 2, 1864.—This steamer, under the
command of Capt. David gate, arrived at this city
last evening from a crisis the blockading squad
rons off the coast of Texas She brings the grati
fying intelligence of the total destruction of the
rebel steamer Clifton on the night of Monday,.
March 21. While attempting to ran the blockade
at Sabine Pass, with over 700 bales cotton, she got
aground on the bar. The rebels made every possi
ble exertion to get her off, thrnwing overboard a
large quantity of cotton to lighten her,but all their
efforts were futile: she remained immov
able, and they were obliged to destroy bar, or see
her fall into the hands of the hated "Yankees."
They, therefore, set her on fire, and she, with all
her remaining cargo, was soon' totally consumed.
The cotton bales thrown overboard were seen
floating around by several of the blockading fleet,
who were prevented by the roughness of the sea
from securing - them. The Clifton was formerly
the United States gunboat of that name, and, to
gether with the United States steamer Sachem, was
captured by the rebels at Sabine, in September
last. Her . wreck now lies on the bar,
in full view of the fleet, and has already -been vis
ited by some of our adventurous officers and sail
ors. A large cotton-loaded schooner was also
driven ashore some days since smear Yelasco (Bra
zos river) by a blockader, and was abandoned and
fired -by the rebels after - they had thrown over
a portion of her cargo in their efforts to get her off.
The Arkansas fell in with and secured fourteen
bales of her cotton, weighing about 7, 500 pounds,
worth about 65. teti r which will be quite a wind
fall for her officers and crew, among whom.

PASSENGER RAILWAY TICKETS.—Mention was
made a few days ago that the Court of Common
Pleas had decided on an appeal case that the City
Pa-senger Railway Company were not liable to be
sned under the laws of the State for issuing or ten
dering to passengers their tickets for three cents.
Tile Grand Jury of the United States District
Court have, however, indicted the Company, un
der act of July 17th. 1862, for these issues, and it
is probable that it e trial of the case will be heard
in the course of a month.—Baltimore American.
Exmosrox OP A SHELL.—At the Washington
Arsenal on Monday, - while Mr. Joseph Miller, one
of the ordnance men employed there, was taking
the fuse from a shell, just outside the shell-house,
by some means, most probably from friction, it
exploaed, the pieces striking him in the head and
ifferent parts of the body, wounding him to such
an extent that it la impossible for him to live. A
teamster, who was standing near at the time, was
also slightly injured.
Tan fileinikrr MITEDBII.RII.—it is stated that
Green, the Malden, Mass., Postmaster, who mur
dered young Converse, will plead guilty when'
arraigned on the charge, so that there may be no
trial of the case. He hopes by this course to ob
tain some mitigation atom the Executive of the
punishment the Court must award him.

.103 W CATHOLIC ARCEBISHOP&
The New York Herald of this morning says: It
is rumored in the city that the Papal buds have
arrived in this country from Rome appointing the
.Right Reverend John McCloskey, Bishop oi
bon - Of-New York, In succession Co
the ogillughes, and the Right Rever
end Bla , tin John Spalding, Bishop of Louisville,
Kentucky, Archbishop of Baltimore, In succession
to the late Archbishop Kenrick.
It is said that a messenger has arrived in New
York having there important documents In his
possession, and that he has already journeyed
towards Albany and Buffalo. The rumor is very
generally credited in Catholic circles, although
we ourselves have not been informed by any of oar
European correspondents, nor have we seen in
any of our foreign exchanges that the Ponnfleal
rescript to such effect bad been sent into the Sacred
College in Rome before the 26th of Idarch,alttiough
theiCincinnati Catholic Telegraph, the organ of the
Archbishop of that province, contained the follow
ing paragraph in its last issue:
; We learn from a wel -informed correspondent In
Rome that the Apostolic letters- confirming the
nomination by our prelates of Right Rev. Bishops
Spaulding and McCloskey, respective,y to the
Archiepiscopal sees of Baltimore and New York,
were to be expedited the week after the date of his
letter, early in March. •

In reply, Gen. Garfield is said to have handled
the representative from Southern Ohio vers se
verely.
We cannot but come to the conclusion that Mr.
Long is di :rone of following the example of Val
landigham and becoming a martyr to the prin
ciples of the Peace Democracy. He allowed him
self to be martyred by his party while here, being
at all times willing to run as a candidate, even in
the very face of defeat.
We clan remember but two years since that the
honorable gentleman, then plain /ilea Long, was
a member of our County Military Committee, and
he voted money and drummed up recrui7s, and
was a most strenuous advocate of the enlist
ment of volunteers to fight his 4 .c:tear S uthern
brethren." Be was in good company thee,
but we fear its example has been lost upon him.
One of those very strange combinations of circom.
s maces which will sometimes arise, threw Mr.
Long to the surface, and lie was sent as the repre
sentative of our section to tht National Congress.
A vote taken today would recall him to the retire
ment of private life by 10,000 majority. •
DAMA.O% TO THE HARPER' 8 FERRY BRIDGB.--
The late severe storm did not pass away without
leaving its effect upon some portion of the Balti

the line of the road the track was washed out, bat
this has been alr. , aily repaired. The span of treat_
ling of the wooiim portion of Harper's Ferry
bridge was washed away, the Potomac, it Is
stated, rising higher thin for some years past. A
despatch to the officers of the road from Harper's
Ferry states that the river was again falling, and
the repairing of the injured part of the bridge will
be commenced. In the mean time passengers and
freight will be transferred at Harper's Ferry, so
that the regular travel and business of the road

of family - sewing, is incomparably superior to any

FRENCH ACCOUNT OP A REBEL RAID INtO -
PENNSYLVANIA.
A young gentleman . well acquainted in Ohaut
bet sburg, who has spent the last two years In Eu
rope, and who was la Fans when Stuart made
his raid here in 1862. gives the following graphic
account of the French report of the raid: -
1 went. to my „accustomed eating-house about ti
P. Di., for my dinner, and found the aerial orowd
of Am ericans, English and French. There was
evidently, a great excitement, and the detached re
marks, inch as "General Stuart—invasion of
Pennsylvania—surrender of Chanabersburg,' etc..
excited my anxiety to the highest pitch; for Guam
beraburg and Pennsylvania, the latter my owe
SLatt . , and the former once - my own home, are as
dear to NM as one's home and country should-be to
every man. The party had collected round a
bustling Ereiacbmen who had possessed hint
self of the only newspaper the establishment af
forded (French at that), and who in his broken
English undertook (out of compliment to the Ame
ricus), to make a liberal translation- of the same.
By the aid of a copy of the paper and by memory;
I will give you as account of the astounding news.
