GentlemenctrCbuncil: : For this renewed ex. pression of your appeaval ofmy official conduct and of y,ourunabatedconlidenee,accept my profound acknea , redgmenta. • Always an honor to be extremely grateful for, II is all the greater now, because of the glorious re sults achieved hr oar country and of the proud record established by our city through over four years of des perate civil strife. In this hour of assured success— of well won triusenph—lnannot avoid reverting to the very different condltionof our national affairs when, Just three years ago, I was first called upon to preside over your deliberations. The dawn of leSS•was Ahilling and gloomy. After nearly two years of war, the rebellion remained as as as hopefuloss. defiant as ever. The joint cam paigns of Sherman:and Grant against Vicksburg had terminated inglo riously, the Army of the Potomac had been fa repulsed at Fredericksburg; Rose crane barely hel his own at Nashville and Murfree3 born; Morgan bad perpetrated his daring and destruc tive raid to within thirty miles of Louisville; mortity lag reverses had been suffered at Galveston and Sa bine Pass; the Florida and the Alabama were scourg ing our commerce from the seas, and the Emperor of France was earnestly engaged in an effort to induce England and Russia ta join him in schemes of inter vention—an effort that might at any moment succeed and thus make the conflict vastly more terrific in cr.a, racier and Indefinite in duration. The clouds were dark indeed—so dark that it re quired strontaalthtcibellevelthat the clear blue sky still existed beyond them. .Not a few telt disposed to ques tion whetheyour revolutionary struggle might not lining ea tuzrren achievement: not a few stiflied the doubt whether Franklin and Jefferson may not have counseled. Washington and Greene hare fought, and Warren and Mercer died in vain: and more than one patriot, as he stood devoutly within its shadow, has shudderingiy wondered whether our old Independence Hall might not soon become she vestige of a-wznished experiment—the deserted shrine of an extinct worship:, But there were clear heads. strong hands, brave hearts, and a Just God over all; and the clouds parted at Gettysburg, and they parted still more at Vici.Viurg and more and more at Atlanta, Mobile, at Savannah and at Cbariestown, and at last at Richmond, the sun in full meridian splendor. shone down upon are bellion vanquished, a Union restored; a constitution vindicated —upon the last • crowning scene of a ,war without a parallel in history—whether we consider the causeless ness of the original aggrer ion, toe humanity of the stronger combatant, the magnitude of the opposing armies, the moderation of the victors or the grandeur of the results. - We may be proud andlghtfully proud of our coun try; proud of her gloiles in the remote past, and prouder still of her greater glories in the past that has just transpired. With the sole stain upon our national escutcheon removed, we can now read the Declaration of Independence without wincing. Henceforth 3vlth us, every man has "an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit' of happiness.' . But, gentlemen, we as citizens of Philadelphia have another cause for pride—and, just pride, too, arising from the distimpflotied part. Sustained bv our city in this recent past.' 'Our:motto has been - literally 'mil lions for defence." .Every draft upon her, whether for Men or tar money, has been promptly accepted and IA promptly paid at maturity. fshe has furnished, rating at one year's service for each, ftS.Oto roem she has paid oat in bounties over fa,000,000; for the relief of the families ofthe volunteers more than ft 2,1300,000; for local defence over s7oo.ootg besides many thousands in fitting welcome to her living and in funeral honors to her dead heroes; she has tendered as a free gift to the governmentone of the best sites for an Iron-clad naval station in the world, and last, though not least, she has furnished, through the spontaneous contribution of her citizens, ample refreshments to every regiment and company passing through her boundaries to and from the seat of war. Where all have done well, she may nevertheless fairly Claim a foremost place; in the volume of our country's achievements shemay surely hope to fill one of the brightest pages. The future is full of glorious promise. Without foes to fear at home or abroad: without the incubus of slavery to paralize our native energies; with an unsurpassed variety of soil and climateth attract foreign labor and capitaL with the Pacific railroad, not wily linking together the extremes of our own land, but linking Eastern Asia to Western Europe and formittg a common highwag for the en bmnaerclal world; with our Ines hatuitible an !--.4 es of timber, coaL iron and precious minerals of all the _materials that constitute na tional wealth, and with the intelligence, the enterprise, and the thrift of our people, we cannot fail to soon reach a position of power and prosperity such as ha man annals have never yet recorded. . As far as our much cherished city Is concerned, part of this future,gentlemen. is In our keeping. The mu: nicipal interests or nearly, perhapsqulte. 700,000 people .are confided to as The trust is• an imposing one, and Its; liiithfial performance will - require great watch fulness, constant activity, unwavering honesty.

I can bear un qualified testimony; and.unliss the reputation of there of you have Just entered this chamber is unmerited, you, too. will prove equally worthy of the public con fklence. We cannot expect to satisfy all: but we should ntt fall to satisfy that silent monitor which is in the breast of each of us. In closing, gentlemen, permit me to offer you my cordial co-operation in the exercise of your official functions,and to assure you of my best wishes Pir your personal welfare, not only for this nevi , year. just so auspiciously begun, but for all the years that a kind Providence may allot to you.

On taking the chair,Mr.Stokry spoke substantially as follows; • , ; ADDEEGs- 91. /tn. aroKLEY. • G' entlemen or amnion, Count:at : Being by your par-: 'tiality again chosen to preside ;over this Chamber; I cannot resume the Chair, without, at least, attempting to,thank you, for this, I greatly fear, unmerited honor. POverty of language preventsme from expressing. so • .fl ttlng terms, the deep gratitude I feel for this manifes-; `tattoo of your confidence and friendly feeling. I will' 'endeavor, with your assistance to discharge the:duties t bat Cevcsve upon': aae,•aii..yoar presiding officer, in eh' a manner as, to• satisfy you that the confidence• shown by you, in a secondlime electing me to this im- . POrtant and honorable position, has not been mis placed. At the timeof the organization of this Cham ber, one short year agO, our country was in, the midst of a fearful rebellion. Since that period it has pleased an allwiee and merciful. Providence to grant victory to our arms and peace to tbelapd. The supremacy of the, United States has been, as serted, the Union restored; and bur flag, with its galaxy organ undimmed in, lustre by the absence of sail:tale one, floats triumphanti,y, over, every part of our Na tional Domain. The announcement of the success of - our arms, the prospect of peace, and the restoration of the tnion, causeffithe • patriotic people , of our city, to `rejoice and be exceedingly' glad;' but alas, their re joicing was soon turned into mourning. Abraham. Lincoln, the wise Statesman, the conscientious devoted • Patriot, the President of the Republic, who had carried he Ship of State safely through the storm of Civil War, _was stricken dewn,.and basely murdered by the band of one of the Minions, of Slavery. The National re joicing was by this awful calamity, suddenly turned into National mourning, the civilized nations of the earth, have united with us in doing honor to the memory of this great and good man. Slavery, the cause of the rebellion being removed, the work of restoration is already half done. It re mains for the peOple to conduct it to a triumphant conclusion. the President and the: 'National Legislature are .doing their part of the.work.' We must do ours. Philadelphia, the City or independence, and the home of loyal men, has given liberally other best blood and treasure, and has, at all times , and in many ways, rendered most hearty and efficient support to the. Federal Government. As we have done from the be ginning, let us continue to do to the end. The heavy appropriatior. made for the defence and protection of the city; for the relief of the wives. widows and families of our soldiers, and the lare bounties paid t volunteers, have, since the break ing out of the tee hellion, greatl y increased our public debt. This burden 'oar loyal and patriotic citizens have borne without Murmuring. It is now, more, than ever, the duty of Councils to exercisejudiciouscare in the management of the affairs of the city. Neeolees expenditure of the people's money should be avoided expenses, as far as possible should be cur tailed. the various Departments should be required to practise the most rigid economy. Councils should de clare to them, and firmly adhere to their declaration, that no additional appropriations will be made during the present year. This is rendered necessary from the fact that the tax rate is based upon the estimates made by the heads of departments, and will not, notwith standing the high figure at which it is fixed, warrant tie extra appropriation to any departmeoe let this be known to them. and also that they will be held to a strict accountability. The credit of the cite has for years past suffered, because of the inability of the trea sury to meet, at all times the demands made upon it. I would recommend that measures be adopted, as early as possible, to remedy this great evil. Ido so, not onlyhec.tase justice to the honest creditors of the city.dem and IF, but as a measure of economy. /t is well known to all eof usthat the discount on warrants has been made thepretext for increasing the salaries and wages of those in the employ of the city— end that contractors for performing servces, or fur nishing supplies, add to their estimates a heavy pex centege, in order to secure themselves from loss, by reason of the discount on warrants, received in pay ment of their claims. I think Ilsmay say - without fearof contradiction. that the less to the city from this cause silent, amounts to a large sum annually. Councils having these Mir ge within their control. Should suffer them to exist no longer. Imo aware that it is easier to propose reform than to achieve it, without having well considered the means of accomplishing so desira ble a result. I would venture to suggest for your con sideration, the enactment of an ordinance requiring heads of departments and others authorized to draw upon the treasury, before doirg so, to ascertain of the treasurer, whether tbere is money sufficient in has hands. to meet the demand, anti if there be not, that warrants shall not be drawn, until the treasurer shall announce his ability to pay them. I feel confident that by the passage of au ordinance based upon these view., the warrants v ill be at all times worth the amount for which they are drawn. A prospect of speedy and prompt payment will make the city patronage desirable, and beget competition for the furnishing of supplies and the performance of work. and as salaries and expenditures generally have beer increased In consequence of the depreciation of our warrants, there could be made a great savinc by the curtailment of t hese exper sea and the credit of the city properly maintained. In order to moreeffectuelly secure the good resu'ts anticipated irom this reform, it will perhaps be necessary to male some change in the manner of conducting the busibees in tne I espartnaent of tbe Receiver of and the City Treasurer. The Ileceiver, when making returns to the Treasurer, should be required to state the amour t received upon the tax levied for the maintenance f the various De partments, namely, the Poor. Schools, Lighting the (sty, Loan,Police, Eiighw eye.. kc.. that the Treasurer should also be required to open accounts with the said Deprrtmetas, And credit them with the amount paid him by the Receiver. From the money tims received and credited, should the warrants drawn by the s arious Depart ments he paid. and from no other unless specialty a t thori zed by Councils. Gentlemen—l make these sugges tions with a view to bring the subject before you. I do not undertake to say that they are the best for attaining the end desired. That a reform. 111 tans direc tion is demanded, no one. I think. who has served in this chamber one year. will attempt to deny. I desire to see a Select Committee - rale - e, to v facia this subject may be referred, and promptly acted upon. while the year is yet in its infancy. The war having terminated, ex traord! nar. ex pehsee 'need no longer be ineun ed. They must cease- it is our duty to do evetyte ing in ourptower to reduce the heavy expenses cf the municipality, and to confine them within the limits of the appropriations. If the gentlemen to whom we have confided the management of the departments. do not regard our wishes In this matter, they must yield their places to men that will. I say here to-day, that no one of these that hesitate, to give his best etrerts to this end, shall ever again receive my vote or support for re election, be he whom he may. Gentlemen, we have each of ns this day, in the pre sence of our Maker, promised to discharge our duty as members of council with fidelity. Let us keep that solemn pledge uppermost in our thoughts, and. tie governed in our acts in accordance with it. If we del feel assured, that all will go well with us iu the die charge of our duties as members of this lmber. Gentlemen, I have trespassed upon your time and patience longer than I should have done, aad will close by thanking you for your kindness, and the twice conferred honor or preeidine over so dignified and intelligent body of my fellow-citieens as compose this Chamber. the election of a Clerk and Assistant Clerk being next in order.

As there has been committed to our mutual custody important public trusts, so' it should be our mutual . care to fulfil those trusts to the best advantage of the public; and I take pleasure in declaring that on. my 'part nothing shall be wanting to insure the requisite harmony of action. Gentlemen: We have,Mdeed, serious responsibilittrls tb meet and grave obligations to discharge. The go vernment of a city of imperial proportions like ours, under all circumstances, must Drove a momentous un dertaking, and It is emphatically so now. With a ter ritortati area .exceeding that of any other American capital, and 'a population only second to what is claimed by New York, Philadelphia possesses caved " 'ties for illimitable growth and expansion. All the con ditions of geography, topography and climate, which control these results, are, Lti our case, eminently favor able. Geographically, we are convenient both to the maintains and the sea. With the former we are con nected :,by numerous lines of railway, which, after passing over agricultural districts of inexhatuntible fer tility, penetrate or surmonnt them, bringing from them never ceasing stores of their mineral treasures, or carrying to and beyond them, to the most distant regions, our products and our fabrics, our goods and wares and merchandise. With the latter we are con nected by the broadest and deepest river that flows towards the North Atlantic, and thus opens to us direct and • speedy access not only to Europe, but, also, to all the populous and thriving towns that lie scattered among the numerous bays sae harbors of our own far-stretching coast. Topographi cally, we occupy a soil which, besides a rare adapted nese °feel, figuration, furnishes to as at every onward stage of our progress the physical-means of continuing that program. All the materials that enter into the en ternal construction of a city lie directly beneath our feet or close to our hands. The more we build, there fore, the more we multiply our facilities for building. Climatically, being alike remote from the putrid mias ma that poisons, and the chilling blasts that congeal, and the torrid heats that dry up the fountains of health. we inhsle the genial breezes and dwell beneath the moderate skies which are at once most conducive to the enjoyment and prolongation of life. Under such happy auspices we cannot help but increase constantly and rapidly both in numbers and extent, and it is as- Burnie g little to say that, if we are equal to our fortune, before the close of the current century we shall mint mere people. dwelling in more and better houses and spreading over a wider surface, than can be found in any other American metropolis. 1f we are equal to our fortune? The question seems to imply a doubt. and, in fact, Ls so intended. With an- pie opportunities of observation. I do not hesitate to affirm that a more honest, upright, intelligent. en ligleened and industrious community than that included in our borders does not exist; bat it must likewise be admitted that, in recent years, whether It he from the over caution inspired by the failure of successive experiments, or from a deficiency in corn - blued mid concentrated enbrt, or from some inexpli cable cause, we have not made instant or sufficient the of the natural superiorities of our pusn ion, while w e di-liberate. it not unfrequently happvus that others act, ce.d thus we the good lve oft might win, By tearing to attempt: . Let me not be under'tood as applying this censure to our Municipal lesnlatint: 1 know that in reference to all great public works that I. gislat ion h ss al ways been generous. and at times, to the estimation of some, even prodigal. for vrorrld lon such an coonskin intimate what may have the appearance of complaint, did I not believe that inealllng me to this station my tellow• citizens had no wish that I should suspend the franc ion I have so l ong nxerolsett of speaking to them frank ly amd Ireety on all matters which concern the general welfare.

We Deter tendered you such an offering while you Were.th3 Chief magistrate of our beloved metropolis, becauselwe knew that it was not proper to do so; but now , that You are about to lay aside :the official toga,. and once more resume the plain garments of. the citi zen,wereel that you will not refuse us. Permit•us, ihemsi?, to present you with the testimonial. It will hourly ,renrind you lof thd Warm place you occupy in • the hearts of the donors. ' Address of Mayor Henry. 31r. Are Ittire - v.4'O%W; Lieutenants and Officer:: Only ore duty yet remains to me before our official re lations that' cease, and thatis, to make my heartfelt . acknowledgment of the fidelity and efficiency with which rti have aided me in every endeavor for the ' protect on and peace of on city. There are many among ou who , have met me here • day by day, for • more n seven years. The confidence won from me in the rlier times of such intercourse has ripened into person regard, such as I cannot now folly express. - If. I ha e ever indulged a pride in aught connected with .. • administration of • the 3fayoraity, it has been in 4 . e poilceforce of Philadelphia, such as I now leaven to my esteemed successor. I see those around me who from the organization of this force to the present time have readily co-operated in every melt sure devised for Its _discipline, nsefainese and reputa• dine. I recall those frecnretiVemergeneles when the public peace has been Minerllled in our midst by tpe ; assertions of constitutional rights—when frenzied pa ,triotism has raged at th. restraints, of law—When mob •violence has sought the destruction of provertY= When' theapproach of hostile armies has dismayed the Peo - kept the city through all these scenestint, egeak it reverently, the human agencies of His'care wete mainly In the prompt, resolute and able men -who made up this pollee. .i...l'emember, oci, when the 'first alarm of war 'Con vulsed the land, with what' alacrity the memberri of th's force offered for their coonntry's service-.and when, at a later petit d, the soil of our own State was' invaded, how eagerly they sought to arm for its de fence, and how many enlisted for the expected Con filet. As I glance over the longlistof those who have been your comrades,there is scarce one page that'dries not record the names of some who left you for a while to fight their country's battles, but who have never come back to you 110 M the Heide of deadly strife. , 1 am mindful, too, of those more often occes one wlien public safety has exacted the prolonged and in • , cmsaat services or the whole police, tc the denial of all the ties of borne—and how unhesitatingly then leach order has been complied, with, how zealodsly teach duty has been performed. Hut I may not linger over these grateful redone:- tions. Whatever honorable repute may have been awarded to you by others, no one can so truly appre ciate your well proven merits as I do, and no one else will ever hold them in more hutting remembrance.. , Through all the disquiets and tumults that in recent years have so often endangered this community, I have never laid my head upon my pillow without the confident assurance that the police of Philadel phia could and would maintain the supremacy of law and^ order within its bounds, against all. who should attempt their overthrow. Whilst thus addressing my acknowledgments to the Police force at large. I must specially commend the vigilance and discretion. shown by the Lieutenants and Sergeants in their respective districts. The assiduous efforts of the High Constables, the successful skill of the Chief and associate Detectives, and the eminent ability of the Fire Marshal, have all redounded to the credit of the Department. The valuable assistance always cheer fn ly given by those immediately attached to this office, and the kind consideration with which they have striven to ease my labors in hours of special exi gency, cannot be forgotten. "And, Mr. Chief, It is due to you that I should avow the essen tial help that you have rendered through my whole official term. Never has your counsel been asked that it has not been judiciously given—never has an order been issued, needing your attention, that it has not been promptly enforced—never have your nerves failed in the most trying scenes of turbttlanCe, and never have I bad cause to question the integrity and impartiality with which you have discharged your Important trust. And now, gentlemen, with the earnest wish that prosperity and hapoineas may be yours. in whatever pursuits you shall engage, or wherever your future lot shall be cast, I bid you all farewell. ma. ia ILICHAS.L'S REMARKS. Mr. McMichael was then introduced to the assem blage. He said that he had no expectation of meeting the force, and would detain them with only a few words. At an early day he proposed to acquaint the men with his views. It was enough for him tosaytbat he hoped to receive the same manifestations of fidelity and the same, efficiency which had been so warmly and so justly alluded to by the city's most excellent friend, the city's most excellent magistrate, and the city's excellent citizen, Mr. Henry.

PROSPECTUS OF THE CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY, NORTH CAROLINA. The Land of this Company consists of Mil ACE in Mecklenberg county, North Carolina 3ji miles from the town of Charlotte, 014 a branch of Bugar Creek, which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding the ores. This Mine was first opened in lir-8 by amass named Carson. who worked It sucicy for a num ber of years. He died In the town of Charlotte, in 1846, worth over half a million dollars. Two shafts have been sunk on ibis property, one o them io feet, the other SO feet, on different veins averaging tram two to three feet In thickness, which veins still continue on down increasing in width and richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can greedily taken out at any time. Other veins have been discovered on this property, and tested and proved tO be very rich in gold. The area of this mine are known, as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding readily lan per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines in the State, on account of the abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which It is obtained ana reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z. A. Grier from . 1840 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and intend to erect machinery and put the mines in immediate operation. The many advantages Of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached, and has abundance of fhel. with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not, as in the case of Colo redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie idle for three or four months in consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been worked for a long time proved to be a rich paying one. We do not, therefore have to Incur the risk there is in an undeveloped pro perty, but can count on large and immediate returns on the investments. Having an ore that readily yields =la per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this property. With the present imperfect system of mining In this locality, and absence of pro per machinery, ten tons of this ore can be taken ont daily from every shaft opened. Estimating, say 15 bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be $l,lOO from one shaft, allowing MO perday for expenses. The net product will be $1.9.00 per day: conntng Ad working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be V 60,000, which yield can be largely increased by extending the works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says it has few equals in productiveness In that country, and with proper management and machinery the strove pro duct can be-doubled.
