APPEAL—UNION VOLUNTEER RE
FRESHMENT SALOON.
To the Citizens rf Philadelphia: It will be three
Sears on the '27th day of 111ay,1564, since the Union
Volunteer Refreshment Saloon commenced its
-operations. The Committee never have pressed
their claims. Neither have they lost sight of the
fact that there were other institutions equally
worthy of public confidence and support; and they
have endeavored to discharge the duties entrusted
to them in an honest, economical, quiet and unos
tentatious manner. Up to this time we have been
generously supported by contributions from our
friends and a portion of the monied corporations
of Philadelphia. We have tried to lessen the bur
-dens of our kind friends by annual fairs in J tine;
the firstFwas a success;,the .second comparatively
a failurb, in consequence. of the raid into Pennsyl
vania last Summer, and there is no prospect of
.holding one this seasons as intended. The high
price of provisions, and the heavy and constant
demand on our Saloon have nearly depleted our
Treasury, and as the signs of the times point to a
series of protracted battles, and as there will no
doubt beatill further calls on our limited resources,
we are compelled to make this appeal to the Übe.
rality of the citizens:of Philadelphia and vicinity
for assistance, othefwise our future usefulness
will be very much impaired.
Contributions in cash and notice of provisions
and Sanitary stores for our use will be received by
the following gentlemen:
Rev. Dr. Thomas Brainard, No. 6l Pine street.
Thomas Robbins, Esq., President Philadelphia
Bank. Chestnut street, west of Fourth street.
D. B. Cummins, Esq., President of the Girard
Bank,"Tbird street, near Dock street,

-and Mechanics' Bank, Chestnut street, below

The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon is
situated at the Southwest corner of Washington
told Swahson streets. The citizens of Philadel
phis and vicinity and strangers, are respectfully
Invited to visit the Saloon, and witness for them

PANIC lIQ RICHMOND AND. PETERSBURG
.[Correspondence of the N. sY. Herald ]
OFF WLL3IINGTON, April 22.—We took off this
morning -two more reingees from Wilmington.
They gave us some very valuable information of
the enemy's. movements. They have reinforced
Masonborough with a regiment of•infantry and a
battery of .artillery from' Wilmington. - General
Beauregard went through Wilmington on the 21st
inst., with a large number of troops, on his way
to Richmond, .
The enemy are sending all the men they can to
the rebel_ capital They say. they expect to be
attacked from three different points, and from the
inkrmation which we have derived they are going
to make a desperate effort to drive our forces out of
'Virginia and Noith Carolina.
Your:rows, April 26, liff.6l.—A rebel deserter
who entered our lines at
,Williamsburg yesterday
brings-intelligence of the existence of a consider
able panic at Richmond and Petersburg, the rebels
living in momentary expectation of the sudden ap
pearance of one or more strong Utiion columns..
Many of the inhabitants are moving farther to the
South,aritt the imps ession is general that Grant's
campaign will -eventuate in success, and that
Richmond will be compelled to succumb to the
heavy masses of troops moving .under his com
mand. • trtai-a ,
This deserter has served for a long time past in
_Florida, and succeeded in effecting This escape
while on furlough at Richmond. He states that
troops are being rapidly 'moved forward from all
the Atlantic States to the rebel capital. The ut
most ffiffilculty is experienced by the rebel autho
rities in obtaining transportation, and this is as
signed as the cause of the delay in the arrival of
Dongstreet's corps at Richmond.
The roads on the Peninsula are in splsridni con
dition for a movement of troops. There has been
no rain of a serious character for some time, and
but little difficulty would be met wtth in moving a
li*avy force, with all i.s accompanying trains and
artillery.
Desertions have almost entirely ceased In this
portion of the department. The effectivemeasnres
taken by General Butler have been attended with
very good effect. Any men may now be placed on
duty as sentinels with the certainty of beingfonnd
at their posts by the relief. -
Captain Ha3s, of the gunboat Crusade; had his
alien ion atirac ed yesterday by the suspicions
movements of a small s , oop that was passing the
month of the York river and running up the Che—
sapeake._ A boat from the Crusader boarded the
stranger, and, not receiving satisfactory answers
from the five men composing the crew. banded
them over lo the tender mercy of Captain Fleraing,
Provo.t Marshal at this point. -They finally COll-
fersed that they were attached to_the crew of the
gunbOat Pegnot and had stolen the sloop at Ports
mouth with the intention of escaping North, and.
had succeeded in running out orthe Elisabeth
river and el riding the vigilance of the picket boats
at Fortress Monroe,.

FROM WASHINGTON.
The correspondent of the Herald writes as fol
lows: •
'I he Secretary of War narrowly escaped being
drowned in the Potomac' yesterday. In crossing
the ferry from Alexandria his horses became res
tive, and horses and carriage were precipitated
into the river. The Secretary happened to be out
of the carriage, at the time. •
General Seymour, we learn, is t have com
mand of a division in the Array of the Potomac,
with which he has previously served. .
Gen. Crawford was summoned and appeared
before the Committee on the Conduct of the War
-to testify m regard to the battle of Gettysburg. A
full - statement of the operations on the left of our
line on the first and eecond days of the battle was
made by him, his testimony clearing up souls
hitherto rather score points in regard to the op
erations on that wing. it will be remembered
that by a prompt and vigorous charge
of General thawford's' division on
Thursday evening, the enemy, who had driven
Sickles' corps and its supports, and who were
advancing upon the key of our position, were re
-pulsed and driven back and the ground retaken,
with a large number of arms. General Crawford' s
testimony was entirely, in support of General
Meade and his orders in regard to this part of the
field. He stated that the ground selected by
Sickles to make his fight, and which was in his
(Crawford's) immediate front, offered almost every
advantage to the enemy.
General Martindale has returned to Washington
from his visit to New York.
The Old Capitol is being rapidly depleted of
rebel prisoners, in. view.of the requirements of the
nextmovement. A large number of its inmates
have taken the oath. The remainder 'have been
transferred to Northern prisons and to ,Point Look
but for exchange.
Orders have been issued to transfer such wounded
men in the hospitals here as may be unable to take
the field again to the hospitals .of their respective
States, preparatory to their being mustered out of
the service. The hospitals are also being , exten
sively enlarged. -
The fallowing notification has been made public:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, April 11, 1866—1 n the

INTERESTING EXrganitENT.—Under the SU
perrision of Major Laidley, commanding the U.
S. Arsenal at Bridesburg. an interesting experi
ment was made yesterday afternoon to ascertain
whether a building for the filling or manufacture
of cartridges, could be constructed of an iron frame
with wooden sides and tin roof, and in case of an
explosion the iron frame work would remain
standing. An iron framed building, with wooden
sides and tin root, twenty-three and a-half feet
square; and sixteen feet in height, was erected in
the extreme end of the Arsenal grounds. on the
river Delaware. The woodwork about the band
ing was so constructed that the sides could, by a
Leavy pressure, be forced from the iron frame;
from the outside they could not be pushed - in by
any force. In the building were six tables, each
table containingabout four boxes of cartridges; the
ends of the cartridges pointing upwards were'
open. Boxes of powder welt also on the tables.
hey were arranged the same as in a factory when
the men are in the act of filling the cartridges. ' A
galvanic battery was stationed at a distance from
the building, and copper wires were-run. along on
small poles and through one of the windows of the
building, and thence into a powder box. The
electrichr from the battery - caused the explosion.
Two cf tfie sides of the building were torn from the
iron and thrown down. One was left remaining
and theotherpartly down. 'I he roof was lifted off
and thrown a short distance. The boxes in the
building contained eleven thpusand five hundred
cartridges and two barrels of powder.
