WAsufiszuToiq, Feb. 26.—The Peace Pro
clamation which htus been in preparation for
some time, is now ready and will probably
be announced in a few days. It has been
held baCk by the peculiar condition of
affairs in Texas. It is said they are now in
a satisfactory condition.
The Batik Presidents had another inter
view with Secretary McCulloch to-day, and
it is understood, have effected an arrange-
Ment whereby 'General Spinner's decision
has been modified.
The Committee of one from each State,
appointed by the Republican caucus, will
meet to-night to perfect their organization.
They intend to move onward, turning
neither to the right or left.
The Subject of Judge Kelley's Lecture
before the. Statistical Society, at Concert
Hall, on the Eighth of March, will be "The

In the midst of all his official labors,
Judge Kelley is evidently collecting mate

FORTRESS MONROE, Feb.24.—The steamer
Evening Star, from New Orleans Feb. 17th,
arrived here this morning with the Ist U.S.
Colored Cavalry, 850 men, under the com
mand of Lieut. Col, W. H. Seip.
The regiment was organized in Decem
ber, 1863, and was recruited in the vicinity
of Camp Hamilton, two miles from Old
Point, Va., under the command of Colonel
Jeptha Jerrard, who subsequently re
signed. It participated in the memorable
operations on the James river as part of the
21st army corps, up to the siege of Peters
burfg, and was sent to Texas about the mid
dleoflast June. Since that time the regiment
has taken an active part in the army in
Texas, under Major General Weitzel, and
has at various times been stationed at Bra
zos and on the banks of the Rio Grande.
The troops disembarked from the steamer
Evening Star and were marched to their
old place, Camp Hamilton, whence they
will be transported to City Point to be mus
tered out. The following is a list of the offi
cers, the rest, with about 50 men, having
been mustered out in Texas:
Lieut.-Col., W. H. Seip; Captain, Charles
Schwartz; Lieut., G. Page; Acting Adjutant,
Lieut, Charles H. Labsau; Acting Quarter
masters, Lieutenants A. M. Spencer, W.
Smith and F. Ohienberger.
The 22d of February was celebrated on the
Evening Star, off the coast of Florida, by
the officers of the regiment and the passen
gers, in a very creditable manner. A pro
cession was formed, headed by the band of
the regiment, and marched around to the
forward part of the ship. Speeches were de
livered by the Hon. J. B. Richardson,, of
Massachusetts, and by. Dr. C. F. Gardener,
of Boston. Washington's Farewell Address
was read by Col. Seip, and an elegant colla
tion was partaken of by the passengers.
The steamer Guiding Star ,was to have
left New Orleans to-day, with the 2nd regi
ment of U. S. Cavalry, under the command
of Brevet Brigidier General G. W. Cole, also
on the way to City Point, to be mustered
out of the service. In anticipation of the
arrival of these colored troops at City Point,
Col. Wm. L. James, Chief Q. M. of the
Department, directed Capt. A. H. Comstock,
Assistant Qurrtermaster, to assume charge
at that point, and no delay will occur in
shipping the troops from here as fast as they
arrive, and quartering them at City Point.
The bark Welkin sailed to-day for Liver
pool with a cargo of cotton and tobacco.
The steamer City of Richmond,lately on the
line between Norfolk and Richmond, has
been sold, and will shortly start for New
York.
Permission has been received at Norfolk
from the Treasury Department to open a
bonded' warehouse there.
Mt. F. C. Clexke, brother of the defaulting
banker, who left Norfolk under such myste
rious circumstances about a week since, was
arrested there yesterday.
The United States revenue cutterHanka
kee, which has been stationed here for
three years, leaves on Monday for Philadel
phia. Her place will be supplied by the re
venue cutter Moccasin.
From Canada.
OTTAWA, Feb. 26.—The Canada Gazette
contains a proclamation warning American
fishermen that they - cannot use the Cana
dian shore fisheries after the 17th of March
proximo.
The following is the substance of the
proclamation :
Whereas, A certain treaty was made
between Her Majesty and the United States
of America, on the sth of June, 1854, pro
viding for reciprocal trade, and the United
States have given notice for the termination
thereof.
And whereas the said treaty will expire
on the 17th of March, 1866.
And whereas under the said treaty many
persona, citizens of the United States have
invested monies and fitted out ships for
carrying on in-shore fisheries within . the
territory of Canada, and may be unaware
that their right to miry on such fisheries,
will end on the 17th of March, 1866.
Therefore, to prevent injury or loss to our
subjects or to citizens of the United States
with which we are in amity, we do caution
and warn all persons not subjects of our
realm, that after the said 17thof March next,
no vessels owned and manned in the United
States of America can pursue the in-shore
fisheries without, rendering themselves lia
ble to the confiscation of their vessels and
such otirer penalties as are imposed by law.

CITY BULLETIN.
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—A young man
named Lewis Foster,:was before Alderman
Hutchinson this morning, on the charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill. He
was employed in the locomotive works of
M. W. Baldwin ct Co., at Sixteenth and
Hamilton streets, and last week the foreman
had occasion to reprove him for some neg
lect of work. On Saturday, it is alleged,
Foster laid in wait for the foreman and at
taacked him with a club, knbcking him
down and wounding him severely upon the
bead, A young man who witnessed the
occurrence interfered, whereupon Foster
drew a large dirk knife and attempted to
use it. He then ran, but was captured by
Officer Cann. He was committed to answer
at Court.
LARCENY AND RECOVERY OF STOLEN
GOODS.—Two boys, named Alfred A. Fleck
and John Cozily, were arrested yesterday
for having entered the woolen mill of
Thomas B. Schofield, No. 1214 Noble street,
through the window and stolen there
from twelve dozen balmoral skirts valued
at $3OO. The robbery had been carried on
for a week or two. The accused were held
in $l,OOO to answer, by Alderman Massey.
Some of the stolen property was recovered.
Robert Torrey, residing at No. 1320 Wood
street, was arrested on the charge of having
bought some of the Skirts. He was held in
$1,500 bail for trial.

arrested, yesterday, at the Pennsylvania
Railroad Depot, upon the charge of the lar
ceny of $2.65 from Pat Holland; in Pitts
burgh. Cadey fled to this city, and 14s wife
was to follow him. He went to the depot
on Saturday to meet her, but was very po
litely informed by a policeman that he was
wanted at the Station-house. Cadey had on
three or four *undershirts, and in dne of
them $2OO in English sovereigns were found
sewed up. The prisoner was sent back to
Pittsburgh for trial.
MALIC/OIIS MISCHIEF.—An elderly man
was before Alderman Hohne, this morning,
upon the charges of assault and battery and
malicious mischief. It seems that his son
had been in the habit of visiting a house of
rather doubtful reputation, at Bridesburg,
and the accused went there, as he said, for
the purpose of tearing it out. He kicked in
the door and used threatening language
towarlls the woman who lived in the build
ing, whereupon she procured a warrant for
his arrest. The defendant was held to
answer.
RAILROAD MEETING.-A meeting of the
merchants doing business on Broad and
Market streets, was held this morning at
the Hall of the Corn Exchange Association,
corner of Second and Gold streets, for the
purpose of protesting against the taking up
of the railroad track on Broad street. Col. Wm
B. Thomas presided. The only business
effected was the adoption of a resolution to
meet the Committee of Councils, and indi
vidually enter their protests against such
action.
ILLEGAL MEAT BELLING.—On Saturday
High Constable Barton arrested seven per
sons for selling meat on south Seventh
street,con.rary to the provisions of an ordi
nance which prohibits any except farmers
from using ttamarket stands on the streets.

tenger.

I , VDAILY E V ENIN B ULLETIN 11BILADELPIERA 1 , -- . MONDAY, - FEBRUARY 26.1866.
. (Continued froth the FirstPageT,
wagomithe Company bad at the 'end or January 1
,was 8,707.br0ad gauge, and 10,043- narrow; so that he f.
already the ;narrow gauge vehicles - outnumber
broad. , In then, year from January, 1864, to January
1863, the Company increased their, broad gauze ea
gives by 11. and their narrow by 36r their broad ca
lieges ano o agony 1 , 711 and their narrow by 824."
' By gradually reducing the area of t"e bros." gen e
working, and confining it to those ,districrs where the
passenger is the principal trafficand passengers seem
rather prefer the broad gauge' traveling to tee- nar
row gauge), the change may be effected without the
waste of a carriage, a truck or a rail for the purposes
of maintenance, you must Constantly make new care
riages, engines and rails, and the renewals, may by
made of the narrow instead of the broad gauge. 'Ph us
the Great Western may be gradually changed as farce '-
needed (or even entirely) from a broad to a narrow
gauge without waste or loss, and even with gain in the
working expenses compared with the present rate; for
tbe re is no question that a heavy mineral and goods
traffic can be more economically conducted by
means of a narrow gauge line and stock than a broad.
'There is no question that freighters prefer the nar
row to the broad gauge, especially where they have to
supply their own trucks, and have dealings with dis
tant parts of the country, reached oniyby the narrow
gauge."
"The gauge of the Richmond and Danville,and South
Side (or Petersburgh and Lynchburg) Railroad is now
and was during all the war, the'same five (5) feet.
Af
ter the retirement of Gen. Lee's army from the lines
around this place and Richmond. the gauge of the
Lynchburg and Petersburg road watt narrowed tot feet
5% inches. from City Point to the junction with Dan
ville road, by the Federal authorities as they pro
gressed inwards. The Piedmont road was of the nar
row or 4 feet 514 inches gauge during the war, while the
Danville road was of the five (5) gauge, and in cans*.
(pence there was a break of bulk at Danville.
This ingauge was insted on b the
State of Notth difference
Carolina the
toga u
vent a deviation of y
the
trade and ti'avel from the interior of the State. That
State has but recently consented to the widening of the
auage of this road to the same width as that of the
Danville road.
This difference of gauge at Danville was of incalcu
lable disadvantage during the war: so much so that the
Confederate authorities bad determined to widen or
harmonize the gauge of the Piedmont road with that
of the Danville,
The disadvantages of break in the gauge are incal
culable, not only preventative of all mechanical in
tercourse between the motive power or rolling stock
of the two roads, but of' proper dispatch and economy
in the ,continnons transportation of passengers and
tonnage as between connecting roads.

There is more demand for money on the street, and
path, r higher rates are paid. The political complica
tions at Washington and the doubtful character of our
foreign relations cause some apprehensions for the
future, and although the supply ef unemployed capi
tal is large, the backers are extremely cautious in the
selections of paper. Trade is necessarily dull in all
departments, with but little probability of a chan6e
until Congress takes some aition upon the Finance,
Tax and Tariff bills. Business languishes in the ab
sence of this action, and until It is known what Is to be
the established policy of the country, the importers,
exporters, manufacturers and consumers will take no
new risks or enter upon any new enterprize.

his newspaper, the Mexican Times, in good

time on his farm, among his plows, hoes,

tle down with like purposes, and let the
