The Pennsylvania Historical Society. ' A meeting of the Pennsylvania Histori cal Society was held last evening at their rooms in the Athenwurn buildlags,. corner •of Sixth and Adelphi streets, Di. Ruschen berger in the chair. The following , inter esting address was read by the Rev - : G. 'Collins, late chaplain of the 72d Tegiment: A Historical Sketch of the 72d Pennsylva , Volunteers, or Philadelphia w i Fire Zou ayes' from the: time they pre organ ized,August 10, 1861, to Sept. 15, 1864. We cannot go into particul rs ' as that -would embrace the history of t e Army of the Potomac from its `organization'to the 'final siege of Richmond—a desTption of a .score of pitched battles; or mor than fifty .skirmishes, which in our other wars, would have been called battles; of cuff rings equal to Valley Forge; of charges eq at to that at Austerlitz; of victories more signal than - that of Waterloo. From our first camp at Had ington the regiment proceeded to Chain b idge, above •Georgetown, and thence to Pool- sville, Md. February 26,1862, the regiment broke camp and proceeded to near Winchester, via Har per's Ferry. It returned in afew days to the'ferry, and was transported Ito Fortress Monroe. At Yorktown they first saw that -flag which' once threatened to' wave over Washington, but finally found an ignoble grave beneath a heap of crinoline. They participated in the battles of Fair Oaks and , SeVenT'ines.' , Subsequently they fought at .Sitiage's Station; White Oak Swamp; Glen ( -dale, and Malvern Hill. [The speaker here paused in his narrative to give a - generous and well-deserved complimen to another Philadelphia' regiment, the 6 th, and its brave commander, Colonel .I(afterwards General) J. T. Owen, who, he said, saved the - battle.] They rested at Harrison's land i_pg until August 16th, and then hurried to Newort News, up to Alexandria to Chain bridge, back the same day to Alexandria, -and that night made a forced march to Cen treville. About this time Gen. 0,0. Howat d took command of the brigid6—the Have lock of our armies, a brave.; soldier, a skill d'ul officer, humble Christian, and true gentleman; one whose record is clear in the army, and clear,also in thecourt of heaven. - From Centreville the regiment marched to Tenallytown, and, after the rebs crossed the PotOmac, were hurried to Ithe bloody field of Antietam. A few months later they constituted the advance at the battle of Fredtricksburg, and lost heavily in that dis lustrous fight. During the battle of Chan oellorsville, the 72d guarded Banks' Ford. The next 'move was on to GettyCburg. The speaker said, the morning of th third day dawned. Until one o'clock, the same gene ral fighting along the whole lin as the day before. The scene changed about mid-day. One hundred and fifty cannon opened upon us, mainly . on our corps. The earth trem bled, the air seemed alive with singing and screeching messengers of death; cannon balls ploughed up the ground; Shells burst over our heads, and the fragments fell in death-dealing showers among uS; but in the whole brigade, composed of five Philadel phia regiments, only one man deserted the post of duty, danger and death. Near 3P. M.we saw dense masses of the enemy emerge from the wood, half a mile distant, and ad -vance towards us. I The object of the cannonading was plain. It was the preparation for tit grand and final charge. The right and left had re ceived and resisted the shock of battle; the centre must feel it now. On they carat) with a firm step, firing as they advanced. We thinned their ranks with grape a i lid canister, yet on they came. We opened o them with musketry, yet they did not falter. They rushed on us with bayonets, with clubbed muskets, with swords and pistols. The crisis had come. For a few moments the issue was doubtful. They broke, and the battle of Gettysburg was won. But at what a price ! When the battle commenced, the 72d had three hundred and fifty Mien. When it closed two hundred of these were dead or wounded. The rebs retreated, and we pur- sued. • After passing the hot month of August in 'quarters, the regiment did picket duty on the Rapidan. It participated in the retreat to Centreville and battle of Bristow's sta tion. Again advancing, the regime-it was -drawn up in line of battle at Mine run, No vember 29th, at two and a half l. M. Gen. Webb called his officers around him and addressed them : "Gentlemen, we are close to. the rebel fortifications. Thot works are strong and well manned. We s ail charge -at daylight. It will be bloody wOrk. Many must" die; but we must succeed. Go and tell your men what I say, but tell them I have confidence in them." We made a faithful report. I presume cheeks paled and lips trembled, but the men stood firm. Soon I was spoken to as I rode up and down the ranks : "Chaplain,. are you going in with us in the morning?!' "Yes." - "Well. if you ever get home tell! father and mother that I was all right to I the last." Then I could hear the men talking to each -other in this wise . "Bill, if you are not killed, tell Mary there :was no back out in i me." The order came to "uns •_n g knap sacks." As the men piled the I could hear them say, "Good bye, of fellow, I guess I shall never see you agzhin." The thought came into my mind, that chilly morning—"l have read of heroes in history, -of those who fought at Avela, conquered at Marathon, made the power of 'Cesa.r impe rial, and followed Napoleon to nearly every -capital of Europe; but their equals are be fore me." We did not make the charge, and one consequence is, I am reading this paper to you to-night. The third winter of camp life kwas spent on Cole's hill, near Brandy Station. The -3d of May the regiment advanced to aid in the terrible battles of the Wilderness. The middle of June they participated in the siege of Petersburg. 1 Their term:of service having expired the regiment returned home; but of the twenty two hundred men whose name's were en tered on the muster-rolls, only one hundred and fifty marched through these streets -(August 15th, 1864) when, the whole city bade us welcome. The others were not all -dead. We left fifty-seven at etersburg, ! whose term of service had not xpired, or who had re-enlisted. Many had been 'discharged; a few had deserted But on -every battle-field we left many yvho nobly, bravely died for their country, and by their , death proved themselves worthyiof bearing the name of this loyal city. I These men of whom I have beep speaking —yes, all who went forth to battle—did not go for themselves alone. They LL went for s ou. They incurred danger that you might live where none dare molest or m ke afraid. They slept on the ground, exposed to wind, rain and cold, that you might Sleep com fortably in your beds. They threw them -selves between the cruel destroyer and your pleasant homes, and offered their bodies a bleeding sacrifice on the altar fOr you and their country. Now, have you r rewarded them? Nay, they do not ask for a reward. But have they received their jtist pay? I •xspeak not of officers; I plead not for those who had rich relatives; I ask Ino special favors for those who returned in good health. But from mutilated forms and humble graves come words of eloquent entreaty and :sad reproach: "Our wives and our children; • our aged parents and orphans, our widows .and unprotected sisters we have left to your i . kind care. We have risked 1' e that yoa might have a country, and a h me. Now many of our loved ones: are inched by_ hunger or shivering with cold. Show your -gratitude to us—your appreciation of our services by your kindness to their.". March 4th, 1863, while in camp at Fal mouth,l closed a very long letterlyvhich was afterwards published in an extensively nirculatedjournal, with these words : "The 1 1.1 bells of Fredericksburg strike t e hour of midnight; cramped fingers, 'a bing eyes and throbbing brain bid me c ase; _but I cannot lay down my pea withont express ing my confidence in the successf termina- tlon of our present struggle. When my term of service' expires, August 10th, 1804, unless I die in the army, or am killed in battle, I expect to return to my home and friends cheered with the noble thought -that I have contributed my mite towards the reconstruction of the Union. And as the shadows of age darken before my eyes, and while preparing for my final departurej firmly believe that I shall see my country rising from this baptism of blood, purer, mightier, more glorious than ever." t At the close of the reading of this paper a resolution of thanks was moved and adopted, and a copy of the paper solicited for the archives. The society then proceeded to an election of officers for the ensuing year. when the following gentlemen were elected: President —Joseph R. Ingersoll. Vice Presidents—B. H. Coates, M. D., Jun. Wm.

Concert Hall - was densely crowded last evening, on the occasion of the public in auguration, of the Samaritan 'dome for Little Wanderers. Hon. James Pollock presided, and.the opening prayer was offered py Rev. Theophilus Stork, D. D. During the evening a number of hymns were sung by twelve little girls from the New York Little Wanderers Home. The audience was addressed by. Rev. W. D. Siegfried, Superintendent of the Institution ; Hon. Oliver Dyer, of New York; who spoke upon the prevention of crime; Rev. W. C. Van Meter, of the New York Ho ward Mission, and Charles E. Lex, Esq., of this city. A collection was taken up in aid of the insti tution. The first report of the Advisory Committee was read, setting forth in detail the origin and operations of the charity. The Home had for its object the care of a portion, at least, of the homeless and ne glected children to be found throughout the city, but more especially in the neighbor hood of its present location. Rev. Mr. Siegfried, resigning the pastorship of his church, gave his services and meanstto its establishment. The large house No. 820 South street was rented about the first of last Noveruoer, ar ranged for the purpose, and the iirst chil dren were received into it in the beginning of December. In less than a month there were some twenty inmates. During the ex tremely cold weather the Home was liter ally besieged by applicants for help, wii9 were supplied till the means were exhaust ed, when appeals were made to the public and liberally responded to, sothat all worthy sufferers were attended to either at the in stitution or at their own dwellings. During. the twelve days of intense cold about 130 families were visited, 200 pairs of boots and shoes and 100 garments distriouted, togettnir with a large amount of coal, groceries, &-c. In addition to this, an average of 75 persons were supplied with dinner, and 40 with all their meals daily. There are forty children at present residing in the Home, and twen ty-five more are led and taken care of dur ing the day while their mothers aro at work. The children receive daily instruction from competent teachers. The Treasnrer's r.- port showed cash receipts from Decembar 20, 1865, to February 12, 1866, 0,563 :i1; ex penditures, $2,114 40; balance on hand, $1,451 51. A number of valuable donations of clothing, food, furniture, ktc , have also been receive& How Brokers Were Taken in by 011 Stock. Charles H. Moore, Doctor H.K.Eaton and John Wilcox, charged with conspiring to defraud Charles T. Yerkes, by inducing him to purchase stock in the Era Oil Com pany, had a further hearing before Recorder Enen yesterday afternoon. Ed ward D. Foulk, Secretary and Treasurer of the Era Oil Company, was recalled and testified to transfers of the stock made to different parties. The first transfer was from H. N. Wrigley to H. K. Eaton of 100,000 shares.. Afterwards 10,000 shares were transferred to J. R. Truefitt. Quite a number of the cer tificates were to Jas. A. B. Wilson, and a man &lowering to that name called at the .ffice of witness, No. 524 Walnut street, and receipted ior them. Mr. Foulk identified Chas. H. Moore, one of the defendants, as the man who represented himself to be Jas. A. B. Wilson, He was introduced to wit ness as 'Wilson by B. P. Wrigley, and he brought into the office a certificate of.i.i 3 Ouo shares, and gave directions fur cutting it up into small certificates. Some of the certifi cates were transferred to person named Underhill, whom the witness knew was a clerk for Harper, Durney & Co. Joseph H. Seaver, of the firm of E. W. Clark & Co., brokers, testified that Charles H. Moore brought a certificate for 200 shares of stock in the Era Oil Company to the office, which he wished to be sold. It contained a power of attorney not witnessed, and as Mr. Moore said the signature was his, the wit ness signed his name to it. Charles T. Yerkes, broker, was examined, and detailed transactions with Moore, Eaton and Wilcox in the Era Oil Company stock. Shares had been purchased for them at from $.3 50 to $3 56 each, and in some instances a margin had been left—sl un each share. Wilcox, lie said, had been introduced by Eaton as a Colonel in the army, and as a very brave man; he (Eaton) said that the stock was good, and that he intended to make a good thing ont of it. Mr. Yerkes said that he had lost about eleven thousand dollars in the purchases. Charles B. Keen, broker, testified that he bad sold stock to Mr. Yerke3-3tock of Chas. H. Moore; there were SOO shares sold, at $3 50 per share; Mr. Moore got the amount of sale, less commissions. John H. Davis, of the firm of Glendenning Jr. Davis, testified that he had sold stock of the Era Oil Co. 500 shares, to Work, Mc- Couch & Co., at $3 62 per share. It was sold at the order of Charles H. Moore, and the proceeds, less commissions, handed to Mr. Moore. Samuel Work, of the firm of Work, Mc- Couch (4.; Co., testified that he had bought 500 shares of stock from Glendenning Jr. Co., for Charles H. Moore, to be paid for in two days, at $3 58 per share. They still held, the stock for Moore. No margin was left. There were transactions of a similar char acter with Eaton, and the firm are out of pocket $6,000. The hearing was continued until Thurs day next at 3} o'clock.

The division of Jefferson C. Davis had been withdrawn from our extreme right to reinforce our left,where Breckin ridge made his final and desperate at tack and suffered such terrible losses. Fearful that the enemy might discover the weakened condition of this portion of his line, Rosecrans determined to eke out the lion's skin with a portion of the skin of the fox, and supply force by a strategem. In the darkness of evening, rendered still more obscure by a dense fog, he prolonged his line for a mile to the right, and occupied it with an ima ginary 14th divisio n which never ex-. isted. Bragg actually put down on a map, which was afterward captured and seat to Rosecrans, the 14th division as occupying that part of the line. The Pile was laid out in cotton fields, over grown with tall weeds, which effectu ally concealed all the movements. He fast sent out engineers with about a hundred teamsters and non-combatants, with a signal torch, who went through the ceremony of laying out a line, throwing down the rail fences as if to construct a line of earthworks. He selected four officers remarkable for their Stentorian voices, Langdon playing the part of division commander, who rode along the ficti tious line and gave, at the top of their voices, the orders customary in posting a division. Soon after headquarter fires were kindled, and gradually along line of camp. fires. At the rear of this imaginary line was a hill which commanded the ground in front. To this elevation Rosecrans sent asectionof artillery, ordering them to make as much noise as possible, so as to lead the enemy to suppose that it was occupied by a full battery at least. He also sent squads of teamsters, with orders to spare no noise, to give the impression that they were entrenching themselves as securely as possible. Meanwhile, sig nals were aching backwards and for wards, and everything was done to make the stratagem perfect. Finally, Rose crane himself rode down the line as if inspecting, the supposititious officers shouting in stentorian voices: "Four teenth division," as often as possible. Bragg,fully impressed with the idea that his enemy had been reinforced by a fresh division, and completely disheartened at a prospect of renewing the fight, aban doned the field,and when morning broke his columns were in hasty retreat beyond Murfreesboro.

BEI= On this property 13 shafts or pits have been opened cad sunk to various depths from lo to di feet, demon s :rating the existence of three parallel veins of ore of about 2 feet in width and about 15 feet apart: converging to a common centre at the depth of about 150 fee:, for ore immense ma - ,,a or vein of ore extending In en gth through the property more than half's' mile. There are also on this property other veins of ore un explored. All these ores are known as the brown ores, anu are very rich, yielding an average of about MO per ton in gold. The above results having buret' oemoustrated by the rude working of the mines for -eveml years past, the risk of investment In nude s's loped property is not incurred, and by the application .1 modern mining and reducing machinery the Com pany anticipate an immediate and large return Ibr their turtles. Having an ore that readily yields titX) per ton, some ',ornate can be made of the value of this property, with the present Imperfect system of mining. Ten tons of this ore can be taken out and reduced daily from every shaft opened at an expense not exceeding per ton leaving a net daily profit of I)1,7SO for each shaft worked by the Company. The large working capital reserved will enable the Company at once to procure and erect the best modern machinery for:maniyulating the ores, by means of which the yield will be Large!y Increased. hese mines. whilst they produce ores richer than thole of Colorado or Nevada, have many advantages ever them, particularly in an abundance of fuel and cheap labor, alitd the facility with which they can be ivort.ed during the entire year, whilst those of Colo• ratio and Nevada can only be worked during the warm weather. MEM A test aesay of an average specimen of the ore from Le Carson Alines was made as late as the trah of January, of the present year, as will appear from the •oi lowing certificate of Professors Booth and Garrett., he Assayers of the Philadelphia Mint: .10EI.PIIIS, January 27, 1566.

The flour Is sifted in one-quarter the time (and much better than by any other process) by putting the flour in the top of the Sifter, then, by turning the crank, the flour passes .through. the sieve with great rapidity Clean, very oilersd jight. This Sifter has no India rubber to grind up the dirt. such as bugs, worms . flies, but slits all articles and leaves the dirt retuaining in the sieve; the Sifter is made of tirt, is very neat and easy to keel, clean.
