PHILADELPHIA HOME FOR LITTLE WAN
DEBEES.—This institution, the initial move
ments for which have been for some time in
preparation by many of our prominent citi
zens, is to be inaugurated, at Concert Hall,
in Chestnut street, this evening, by a public
meeting, which promises to be of unusual
interest. Governor Pollock will preside,
addresses will be delivered by several gen
tlemen whose services _ have been specially
secured for the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Van
Meter, of the Howard . Mission, New York,
will be present, with twelve of his mission
children, who possess remarkable musical
powers, and who will entertain the audience
with a variety of their best songs and glees.
These children dined at the Continental
Hotel, yesterday, on invitation of Mr.
Kingsley, the - proprietor, and afterwards
sang for the vests of the hotel, in the par
lor. The ladies and gentlemen present
were powerfully affected by their per
formance, and after it was concluded they
made up a purse of one hundred and fifty
dollars for the benefit of the Howard Mission.
Such an institution as the "Home for
Little Wanderers," is much needed in
Philadelphia, for the outcasts and homeless
children of the city, of whom there are
several thousands in our midst; and it is to
be hoped that our citizens will give the en
terprise such momentum at Concert Hall,
to-night, as will carry it on to a complete
success.
CITY MORTALITY.—The number of inter
ments in this city, during the past week,
was 312, against 358 during the same period

HIGH WATER.—The warm weather of the
past few days has caused the ice on the
streams about the city to break up, and the
volume of water has been much increased
by the rain of last night and this morning.
In the Schuylkill the ice is coming down
rapidly and the water was high and swift
this morning. There are indications of a
freshet, and the trestle work of the Chest
nut street bridge is considered in some
danger.

or twelve feet higher than usual. The

THE AMERICAN LIFE INSURA.F/CE AND
TRUST COMPANY.—A statement of the af
fairs of this thriving institution will be
found in the advertising columns of the
BULLETIN of to-day. The advantages of life
insurance are so manifest that it is super
fluous to urge; while it seems equally need
less to say anything in commendation of
the "Amerian."

party will meet in the several precincts of
the city . to-morrow evening, for the purpose
of appointing officers to conduct an election

AMERICAN UNION COMMISSION.—An in
teresting meeting of this Commission was
held in Grace Church, corner of Twelfth and
Cherry streets, last evening. Rev. Wm.
Suddards, D. D., Pastor, conducted the reli
gious exercises. •Samuel V. Merrick, Esq,
President of the society, was called to the
chair. Mr. Joseph Parker ' Secretary, gave
an interesting statement of the operations of

teachers of the schools established at At
lanta and Athens, Ga., informed the meet
ing that through the recommendation of
Gen. Howard the Secretary of War had re
stored the school building at Macon, Ga., to
the trustees, and that they in turn had
placed them at the disposal of the Com
mission, who had resolved to open imme
diately a .first-class school for the white
children of the State. Several male and
female teachers would be commissioned at
once from the North to enter upon the work
of organizing and carrying out this noble
enterprise.
Mr. Parker showed very clearly how im
portant it was thus to care for the poor
whites, and not absorb the whole charities
of the North upon the blacks, if we would
convince the South of our good will towards
the suffering and ignorant masses of their
conntiy.
Rev. J. H. Torrence and Rev. Richard
Newton, D. D., followed in - the same direc
tion, declaring that patriotism and religion
alike joined in their appeals to the lovers of
country and of God to sustain this worthy
undertaking. It was our duty to let the
present and coming generation know that
while we would contend to the death for the
maintenance of our Government, we would
also Inertly labor to build up the things
we were forced to destroy. A collection was
then taken. The meeting was a success.

occurred at a tavern No. 510 South Seventh

It is a Permanent Institution, with a perpetualchar

of the State.
The assets lawfhlly invested are large, compared
with the liabilities, and the business is limited to first
class risks—thus assuring the members of ample se
curtly, prudent management and solid prosperity, and
offering superior advantages for Judicious Life Insur
ance.
It is the interest, as well as the duty, of every citizen
to support HOME INSTITUTIONS, because by doing
otherwise, his funds are carried abroad to benetit oth
ers, inflicting on this community the same injury as if
he went abroad to purchase any article of merchan
dise which is manufactured or sold here. Every dol
lar paid to a foreign Insurance Company is a toss to
the General capital of this city—the amount already
paid would have furnished us with Steam Ship Lines
to increase Trade.

CITY BULLETIN.
PHILADELPHIA. AND ERIE RAILROAD.—
The annual meeting of the Stockholders of
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was
held this morning, at the office of the Com
pany, on Walnut street. Henry Duhrina,
Esq., presided. and G. P. Little acted as
Secretary.
The annual report was read. It states that
the business of the road during the past
year has equaled the estimate made by
the General Manager as furnished in the
last report of the Board, but has not fully
met expectations. Fromran unusual preva
lence of snow and an extraordinary flood
through business was suspended some
forty or fifty days, and the loss of receipts
in consequence thereof has been estimated
at $lBO,OOO.
Of the anthracite coal trade expected,
only 120,000 tons were carried on the road
during the year.
The transportation of oil, a prolific source
of btisiness anticipated, has proved a partial
failure. The number of barrels of oil car
ried was 328,022.
The receipts of the road for the past year
amounted to $2,074,140, which is an increase
of $955,111 over those of 1864. It is estimated
that the receipts this year will not fall short
of $3,000,000, of which 30 per cent.—s9oo,ooo
—will be due this Company from the
lessees.
The interest on the fended debt for the
year will amount to ssBo,ooo,and contingent
expenses to $lO,OOO, leaving a balance of
$310,000 to be divided among the stock
holders.
After the reading of the report, an elec
tion for managers was held, and resulted in
the choice of the following gentlemen :
Managers—Edward F. Gay, William G.
Moorhead, Charles B. Wright, Henry Duh
ring, James D. Wetham, Wm. A. Galbraith,
C. P. Bayard, Wm.. S. Lane, Hugh W. Cath
erwood, James B. Montgomery.

HEAVY RAIN.—The heavy fall of rain
last night and this morning completely in
undated the streets and sidewalks of Cam
den, and rendered them almost impassable.
Cellars are being filled, thus showing the
great necessity of building culverts and
drains. The river was covered with a dense
fog, so that bells had to be rung to guide
the ferryboats in their passages.
NEW MENBERS.—TweIve new members
were received into the - Tabernacle Baptist
Church yesterday morning, to whom the
right hand of fellowship was extended by
the pastor. Last evening ten others were
immersed in the same church.

the army, he came to Philadelphia, on his
way to Pittsbur,o,and stopped at a hotel in
Market street, above Nineteenth, where
Birney was the bar-keeper. The soldier
purchased a valise, and placing his clothing
and $325 within it, he passed it over to the
bar-keeper for safe keeping. That night he
visited a friend, and the next day returned
for his valise, and was told by the defendant
that he knew nothing about it.
The defence was that there were a large
number of soldiers stopping at the house,
and the defendant told them that in leaving
their knapsacks and valises in the room
they did it at their own risk. The defendant
was out of town during the afternoon and
knew nothing of the disappearance of the
property. On trial.
