SENTENCED FOR RIOT AND TREASON.-Thir
teen of the persons tried for riot and treason,
for acts committed in Carbon and Luzerne
counties by a Military Commission which com
menced its sittings in Reading, were sentenced
as follows : Philip Bergenman and Charles
Dugan, each five years at hard labor ; Conrad
Horn, six years at hard labor ; Peter Dielow,
John Donlin, John Gallagher, Hugh Brislin,
John McCool, Tim Sweeny, Owen
Gallagher and George Ruck, each five years ;
John Paul, two
.years ; and Augustus Miller,
two years and a fine of two dollars a day for
said term. The sentences were subsequently
mitigated by Gen. Couch, to confinement dur
ing the existence of the rebellion, in Fort'
Mifflin, near Philadelphia, or such other place'
as may be designated by competent authority.
Ronnan His FATITER.-A few days since
Daniel Behn, a boy, residing with his parents'
in Philadelphia, robbed his father in that city
of $l,OOO, with which be immediately made his
way to this city. Chief Young, of the detective,
force, received information that the young fu-'
gitive was in this city, and Detective Elder,
was, therefore, detailed to effect his arrest.'
He was taken into custody while in the Newt
Bowery' Theatre. Two gold watches, $lB5 in
money and a pair of diamond ear-rings,amount-i
ing to about $5OO, were found in his posses
sion. The lad has been sent bank to Philadel
phia.—New York Times.
CITY BIT LLETIII.
OUR ARMY HOSPITALS.—Sick and wounded
soldiers from the Army Hospitals in the Dis
trict of Columbia and Alexandria, and in Gen.
Butler's Department, are arriving daily in this
city. Arrangements have been made to re
ceive about five thousand of such invalids, and
there is every indication that the hospitals in
and about Philadelphia will soon have occu
pants for all their beds. But few changes have
taken place recently among the Surgeons in
these sanitary institutions, the most important
one being the appointment of Dr. George H.
Mitchell, of this city, as a Contract Surgeon
with the rank of Acting Assistant Surgeon, U.
S. Army, and his assignment to the charge of
the
Vine
Hospital, at Sixty-fifth and
Vine streets, until lately devoted to the treat
ment of patients who have lost limbs in ser
vice, or who, from exposure or contusion,
have had their limbs contracted, but which is
now to be used as a general hospital. Dr. W.
Elwood Ely, of Montgomery county, has re
ceived a contract, and has been ordered to
Washington. There are two other vacancies
to be filled in that Department, one or two. in
the Department of the South, one at Detroit
and five in the Department of the Gulf. Ap
plicants for the position of Contract Surgeon
are obliged to pass satisfactorily a creditable
examination before a Medical Board composed
of Surgeons Neill and Kenderdine and
Assistant Surgeon Grier.
All the hospitals in this vicinity present an
unusually satisfactory appearance at the pre
•sent time, and the invalids now on their way
hither will receive the best attention and most
considerate care from the Surgeons to whose
charge they will be entrusted during their con
valescence. The institution' at the corner of
Sixteenth and Filbert streets, it is understood,
will hereafter be known as the "Filbert Street,"
the term “tionvalescent" being no longer ap
propriate, as its wards are now filled with suf
ferers from almost every conceivable disease,
and for some weeks there have been admitted
. into its doors some of the most serious cases to
be found upon-the records of the Department.
Assistant Surgeon Storrow, in charge of this
hospital, has been confined to his house for
some days with a severe attack of sickness, but
is rapidly recovering.

REfactous.—A discourse will be delivered
to-morrow morning, in the North Presbyterian
church, on the life and character of the late
Rev. Robert - Taylor. The deceased, but a few
weeks since, received a unanimous call to. the
Pastorate of this church, and was about enter
ing upon his new field of labor, having pre
viously been the Pastor of the 'Second
Presbyterian Church, Germantown,when he
was stricken with disease which trminated
fatally, leaving the people of his old and new
charge in deep affliction. His abilities were of
no ordinary character, and his future career
seemed full of promise. • •
The (N. S. Presbyterian) church_ edifice,
corner of Broad and Green streets, is nearly
completed. The pastor of the congregation
fol. which it is intended, the Rev. E. E. Adams
has been for some time past in ill health, though
he is now improving and able occasionally to
preach. By the generous consent of his
charge, however, he will not resume his active
unties as pastor until next fall, intending to
spend the intervening months among his native
hills of New Hampshire. Mr. Adams left for
the East this morning. The new church will
probably not be formally opened until Mr.
Adams's return. The Sunday school and
weekly services have been for some time past
held in the basement of the church, entrance
on Green street. . We learn that a fine organ
has been built for the new church.
INTERESTING MEETING.-A large meeting "I
the Committee on Labor, Incomes and Reve
nues, has been held at the Board of Trade
Rooms, L. Mongomery Bond, Esq., presiding.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and
adopted. The treasurer's report being called
for, Mr. Duncan M:Mitcheson, during the tem
porary absence of Mr. John W. Claghorn,acted
in his place. After reading a statement of the
various large and small sums received since
last meeting, amounting to some thousands of
dollars, he said c{that he was pleased to an
nounce that through the exertions of the chair
man of this committee, the handsome sum of
ten thousand dollars has been subscribed by the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad." He also read
a receipt indicating that it had it been promply
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY
COUNTER/TT POSTAGE CUBIIENCT.—Before
Alderman Beitler, yesterday afternoon, John
Fox, the bartender of a hotel, In Islington
Lane, near Ridge avenue, was charged with
passing counterfeit ten-cent postal currency.
He is alleged to have changed a ten-dollar bill
for a soldier belonging to' camp Cadwalader,
giving him one hundred counterfeit ten- cent
notes. He was held for a further hearing.
Goon News POE THE LITTLE ORES.—The
public squares are now being put in thorough
order for the summer season. Penn Square and
Washington Square will be opened on Monday
morning next. This will be good news to the
children who will now have an excellent op
portunity to indulge in many of their out-door
amusements.
Dsowzian MAN FOUND.—Yesterday after
noon an unknown man was found drowned in
the Delaware at Queen street wharf. He was
dressed in a black frock coat, blue army pants
and striped flannel shirt. He appeared to be
about 35 years old. He had been in the water
but a short time.
ROBBERY.—Sometime during last night the
residence of J. B. Huhn, No. 1319 Lombard
street was robbed of wearing apparel valued at
about $l5O. A servant girl employed in the
house is supposed to have committed the rob
bery.
PROMOTED.—Officer Amos W. Atkinson, of
the Reserie Corps ; has been appointed Ser
geant of the Ninth Police District, in place of
Woolridge, resigned. Mr. Atkinson has been
a good and faithful officer, and will, no doubt,
give general satisfaction in his - new position.
- Drscuanuan.—Thomas W. Rider, who was
arrested yesterday upon suspicion of having
fired his-father's house in Christian street, near
Second, has been discharged, there not being
sufficient evidenee to warrant his being held to
bail.

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN SEWING Ma
crasEs.--On the 26th instant , a patent was
granted to Charles Parham, of this city, for cer
tain new and useful improvements in Shuttle
Sewing Machines. By the combination, allthe
various stitches may be made (both single and
double thread) including a. new button-hole
stitch, on the lock or shuttle principle, with
the same instrument. An entirely new ranch
of trade will be reached, such as the sewing
of carpets, awnings, sails, &c., using the over
lap or whip-stitch. From all appearances this
patent will prove to be one of immense hn
portance to the public, and of great value to the
inventor, as we understand that several heavy
capitalists of this city, New York and Boston,
are now organizing a company for manufactu
ring under the above patent, and are preparing
to get into immediate operation.
CRELTEN HILLS is one of the most healthy
and beautiful localities in the neighborhood of
* Philadelphia. The North Pennsylvania Rail
road, on which from seven to nine trains run
out daily, makes it very convenient of access.
The improvements are of the best character,
many of our leading business men having
selected the neighborhood for a country resi
dence. Messrs. Thomas & Sons, viR sell on
Tuesday,May 3d, at the Philadelphia Exchange,
peremptorily, a farm of 31 acres, on the old
York Turnpike, at the eight mile stone, only
ten minutes walk from Chelten Hill Station.
The improvements are good, and the place well
stocked with fruit, old shade trees, &c. See
advertisement.
RAILROAD ACClDENTS:—Christiana Drake,
aged 4 years, had her left leg fractured yester
day by being run over by a train of cars on the
Reading Railroad, at Pennsylvania Avenue and
Twenty-fourth streets. Timothy Canty
nine years of age, was run over by a baggage
car yesterday afternoon, on the North Pennsyl
vania Railroad, and had both legs shockingly
mangled. The sufferer was conveyed to the
residence of his parents in Lloyd's court. He
was subsequently taken to the St. Joseph's
Hospital, where he died at five o'clock this
morning. The little fellow was standing upon
the platform of the car, at the time of the ac
cident, and fell off.
Flaz.—This morning about five o'clock a fire
was discovered in the Coal Oil store of Hughes
& Moore, No. 56 North Second Street. The
flames were extinguished before any considera
ble damage. A furnace which had been used
in a tin shop in the second story of the build
ing had evidently been placed upon the floor,
and set fire to it. A hole was burned in the
floor, and then the furnace fell to the first story.
Here the flames were fast getting under way
when discovered.
MAJOR SAISTLII.-31cAllister & Brother,
No. 728 Chestnut street, bare just published
an" excellent card photograph of Major 11. W.
Sawyer, of New Jersey. It will be recollected
that Major S. and Captain Flinn were set
apart to be hanged at Richmond in revenge for
the execution of two rebel spies whom Gen.
Burnside had caused to be hanged. Our Gov
ernment threatened retaliation and the rebs.
thought better of it.
ENLISTMENTS.—There is a considerable falling
off in the number of enlistments in this city
during this week. Warrants were issued this
morning to pay the city bounty to 13 men.
The amount paid during the week ending to

FROM CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH.
We have received the following particulars
in regard to the obstructions in the Savannah.
and Charleston Rivers from a captured prisoner
who has recently taken the oath of allegiance..
Our informant at the time of the breaking out
of the war livedin Columbia, S. C., and under
the excitement and pressure of the moment-
joined the rebel forces at Fort Moultrie, where
he remained for two months and then went to.
Morris Island. There he was stationed until
Sumter was captured, and in June, 1861, left
with the Ist Regiment South Carolina. In
fantry, Col. Maxy Gregg (since killed), foi.
Virginia. Subsequently he joined the "Wise
Legion," stationed in Western Virginia, and
upon being discharged from that command
joined the Ist Regiment South Carolina Artil
lery, Col. Calhoun, stationed at Fort Sumter,
Charleston, where he was in April last,
when that fortification was bombarded lip
Farragut. The fort at the present time is
a perfect mass of rains, only five guns
remaining mounted and in condition to be
worked. At the time our informant left
Charleston a garrison of two companies was
still kept in the ruins of the fort. These were
relieved every fortnight by way of the north
side. They are provisioned from day to day
by means of small boats from Charleston, by
way of Mount Pleasant and Sullivan's Island.
Fort Johnston, on James Island, still in the
rebel hands, contains 12 large guns, 10-inck
columbiads, while in the outworks there are
three batteries numbering about eight guns
each, mostly of small calibre. • On the west end
of Sullivan's Island there are three batteries of -
about five guns each; at Fort Moultrie, on the
same island, there are 32 guns and 2 mortars;
Battery Bee, on the east of Moultrie, mounts
5 guns. There are two other batteries mount
ing from four to five guns each. From the
rear of Fort Moultrie over to Mount Pleasant
there is a bridge constructed for the purpose of
transporting, troops ammunition and subsist
ence to the batteries on Sullivan's Island. Be
side these fortifications there are Fort Ripley,
Castle Pinckney, and a very strong battery on
the city wharf. Fort Ripley is about a mile
and a half from Sumter, and half a mile from
Fort Johnston. It is built in the centre of the
river, and mounts fourteen heavy guns. Castle
Pinckney is between olte-half and three-quar
ters of a mile from the city, and mounts five or
six guns, mostly 32-pound rifles. The battery
on the wharf is strongly protected 'by marlins,
and mounts eight large guns. In regard to the
obstructions, there are thirty-two torpedoes
laid on a direct line in the Charleston River.
from Fort Johnston to. Mount Pleasant, the
entire width. of the harbor. They consist of
common beer barrels, tarred in and, outside,
and fastened together by a cable at the bottom.
Some of them contain between six and seven
hundred pounds of powder. The lan
yards which are attached to the centre
of these villainous instruments are
screwed into the end of each barrel, and so
arranged near the surface that they will explode
the torpedo with fifteen pounds of pressure from
anything . coming in contact with them. At the
front of Fort Ripley there are spiles driven
ccross the river to prevent vessels from passing
that point. From Sumter to Cumming's Point
and Sullivan's Island there are torpedoes simi
lar to the above laid across the river. Besides
these there are logs chained together across the
river, mostly from Fort Johnston to Sullivan's
Island. Nearly all the steeples in the city had
been taken down four weeks ago, when our in
ferment left Charleston, to prevent our forces
from obtaining any particular range. A great
portion of the city, from the wharf to Meetg
street,, has been battered down by the fiets--
There are now no residents in that locality.
In regard to the obstructions in Savannah
River from Thunderbolt Battery to Warsaw
Sound, the Rebels have laid down live oak logs
and timber, from Skiddeway River to the marsh
opposite. At a place called "The Sisters
three little islands (below -Turner's Rocks) m
the middle of the river, the Rebels have sunk
thirty-two torpedoes, extending from -Wilming
ton Island to the "Sisters , " and thence to
Skiddeway Battery. They are a little larger
than lager beer barrels, and charged with
powder and fulminate, and will explode on
slight pressure. Besides these there are others
in the Savannah River, in regard to which =-
informant is -not thoroughly, posted. - Our
informant says, within the last nine months, all
of the British" subjects unable to take out a
writ of Habeas- Corpus, have been conscripted.
All other foreigners have been forced into the
ranks at the point of the bayonet.—New York
Tribune.
PERSONAL:
Mrs. Wm. Key Howard, whose arrest upon.
- the charge of being a Confederate mail-carrier
has already been noticed, has-been ordered to
be confined in the Old Capitol prison.
Mrs. Martha DllgaD, residing at No. 187
Franklin street, Baltimore, (whence her sister,
Mrs, mary E. Sawyer, was sent to the Old
Capitol prison a few days since,} was arrested
on Thursday, charged with being a recipient o f
rebel mail matter, and for other disloyal prac
tices. Gen. Wallace ordered 'her to be sent to
the Old Capitol urison, which order was at once
carried out.
Ex-Governor Cummings, of Georgia, and
wife, left Baltimore on Wednesday evening
last, for Fortress Monroe, on their way to the
