errs bi ( House of Correction.—-The Joint Com mittee of Councils appointed-to inquire into and report upon the best plan for ine dispo sition of those persons Who are committed to prison for small offences, had a meeting yesterday afternoon, in the Common Coun cil Chamber. The following members ot the Committee were present: Messrs. Jpu lingtoc, Krupp, Oram and Hetzell, or Com mon Council, and Mr. Marcus, of Select Council. . ■ •. The Hon. Joseph B. Chandler and Hon. John Bobbins, Prison Inspectora, ana Messrs. James D. Brown, J ohn M. Wlnttol. and Geo. Erety, Guardians of the Poor, were ™ chosen chairman of the said there was no doubt of toe' hecesßiTyTf of Correction. He; said that a number of persons were sent to the Almshouse laboring under toe effects ol flnmkenneBS,and when they have recovered; Sere is no way of employing them with any profit to toe institution. He also re ferred tomany that were discharged after in toe ihstitution four weeks because there was noplacefor them. He thought at: least twenty vagrants were admitted every wpnv that ar© abl© to labor# . Mr. Erety said that toe population of toe Almshouse now amounted to 2,800, and out of this number at least 700 are fit subjects for a house of correction. He was satisfied that the only profitable way of employing these people is to have stone quarries for them to work in. They wefo good for noth ing in shops. - The-women could be em ployed in weaving coarse doth. He would suggest that a place could be selected on the west side of toe Schuylkill, where stone is plenty,for toe erection of a House of Correc tion. The vagrants could be employed im mediately in erecting the buildings. These people now remain idle at the Almshouse, because there was nothing for them to d > that would pay for toe trenble of employing them. Mr. Oram was satisfied that if- a proper House of Correction was erected it would be made a source of revenue, and - would also do much towards reducing toe number of vagrants. - After some discussion it was resolved, “That it is the judgment of this committee that a House of Correction Bhonld he erected as soon as possible.” Mr. Marcos then moved that a committee of seven he appointed to report a detailed plan for toe erection of a House of Correc tion, which was agreed to. Union Benevolent Association. —This Society held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon, Samuel H. Perkins in toe ohair. The thirty-fifth annual report of the Board was made, in which it is said that in Bum ' ming up toe work there is fonnd to be a marked increase of labor performed over previous years. The details'of toe report of toe ladies branch not duly shows this, hut also bears an increase of interest and of greater earnestness on the part of the visitors, who had fonnd an element for toe exercise of their patriotism, as well as their charity, in toe distress which has followed many of toe soldiers home from toe fields they have won. The Union Benevolent .Association will never deny them aid while there is toe means to help them. The whole amount of money dis tributed lastyear by visitors from appropria tions by toe General Board was §3,895; from collections made by toe visitors themselves, §9,594 92; from toe offiee, including wages paid as aid, §1,100; amount paid to thirty five sewing women by toe ladies’ branch, §4,01712; for other female labor at toe store of toe society, §793 67; cash value of 1,740 tons of coal-distributed in quarters, $13,050; 94 tons of coal and 11 cords of wood collected ■ by toe visitors, §708; amount distributed in provisions, $1,550. The total disbursements amounted in cash to §23,937 55. The report states that the number of visits ' made to the poor was 16,128; numberof fam ilies under charge, 6,995; sick administered to, 1,417; of persons found employment, in . ■ eluding domestics and placed in families, 1,243; Children placed at school and Sunday school, 108; persons, including children, fonnd asylums, 43. - . ’Thomas Latimer, .submitted the! following, Which was adopted: Sesolved, That the system of Operations prosecuted by toe Union Benevolent Asso ciation with such eminent success for toe last thirty-six years, commends itself to toe continued support of toe citizens of Phila delphia. . , The following named gentlemen were elected officers tor toe ensuing year Pr esident, Samuel H. Perkins; Vice Presidents, Richard D. Wood, J. Fisher Learning; Treasurer, Edmund,Wilcox; Corresponding Secretary, L. Montgomery Bond; Recording Secretary, John H. Atwood. . Board of Trade.—The stated meeting for October of toe Executive council of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, was held on Monday evening—John Welsh, Esq., the President of toe Board, in toe chair. The report of Mr. Sonder, as chairman of a committee appointed at toe May session to respond to a communication from toe Hon. W. Eliot, chairman of toe Committee on Commerce of toe House of Representatives of the United States Congress, respecting toe necessity and propriety of national recogni tion and aid in reference to toe improve ment of toe Southwest Pass,or Pass al’ Outre of toe Mississippi, recommending action favorable to the undertaking, was read and confirmed ,by toe hoard. A donation from William J. Swain, Esq., of an elegant copy of Web-tor’s Unabridged Dictionary, was received, and ordered to be suitably acknowledged by the secretary, i A resolution highly commendatory of toe statistical chart recently compiled by Wm. G. Neilson, Esq., of toe Iron and Steel Asso ciation, was referred to the Committee of the Month for more formal action. A communication from toe San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, treating of toe open ing of new ; currents of trade, under toe in fluence of modern enterprise, and new facilities for intercommunication, and the proper national policy in reference to them; toe protection of the interests of commerce in eastern countries by new naval stations and lay an improved consular system; and toe extension of toe telegraph system, so as to place San Francisco and toe United States generally in communication with toe Asiatic continent, was read. The subject was referred to the Committee Of toe Month for further consideration. Committee of toe Month, Messrs. Coates, Perot and Faust. Charged with Shooting.—James Falby was arrested, yesterday, on complaint of Constable John Shaffer, charged with firing a gun from his tavern, at Moyamensing avenue and Federal street, on Friday night, the 28th of September, a portion of the load from which took effect in the face and one of the eyes of Mr. Shaffer. The sight of the eye is so much affected that it: is doubtful if he will recover the use of it. The prose cutor testified that he saw the. defendant discharge the gun, and that hie! felt the shot immediately after. Mr. Falby was held for trial. Factory Accident.—Henry Shall, a Ger- Esui, aged fo;rty-nine years, residing at Fifth and Columbia avenue, was caught in the H>?cbinery which he was adjusting at i the null of Mr. A. C. Miller, yesterday, and was dragged round by the revolving wheels with great velooity several times. Both of; his legs were broken, and he was otherwise so seriously injured that his life is despaired of. He was taken to the hospital. ELECTION OF A SCHOOL CONTROLLER.—At a meeting of the School Directors of Seven teenth Section, on Monday night, Mr. ffm, O. K]ine jras elected a Controller In place of Mr. James McManes, whose term of office had expired. Philadelphia Wateb Works. — The following statement shows the amount of water pnmped by the different works during September, 1866 : Fairmount, gallons ; Schuylkill, 43,790,760.; Delaware, 163,682,320; Twenty-fourth Ward. 64,697,140; Germantown, 14,290,800. Total, 926,606,161* Average per day, 30,886,838. English House Sparrows.— Mr. Dixey, Commissioner of City Property, has re ceived a large number of houße sparrows from England, whioh he intends placing in the public squares and parks in the spring; He will keegt them in a cage during the coming winter. New Jersey Matters. Judge Moore.— The nomination of Judge William Moore, by the Republican Union party of the First Congressional District of New . Jersey, for Congress, is an act which is highly complimentary to a staunoh and unswerving loyalist, an able and influential. gentleman, and a oredit to the nominating Convention. Judge Moore is .one of those active, energetic men, whose power and character are revealed 1 in their works and truthfulness. He is not a “silver-tongued orator” on the rostrum, but he has done more than any other man in Atlantic -county to wrest that county from Copper head .rule and in placing it on the side of loyalty. The Republicans, therefore, have done wisely in selecting him as their standard-bearer in this important contest, for he is ever ready to meet and success fully oppose all the schemes of rebel sym pathizers. A man of large business expe rience, and thoroughly conversant with legislative matters, the interests of the First Congressional District will be safe in his bands. His election is sure, but it is. id oumbent upon every true Republican to work for an increased majority, not only for Judge Moore, but for the entire Union ticket. Last year we carried every mem ber of the Legislature in the First District; this year we want to do still better, by electing every county and local officer. The Mass Meeting. —The mass meeting of the Union Republican Party of Camden city and county, at the Court House, on Monday evening, was a grand success. Tho citizens turned out in large delegations with banners and music, and victory for the whole ticket was legibly written, in every I countenance. The' “Boys in Blue,” who I have just effected an efficient organization, I turned out in large numbers, and are re- I solved to do as noble battle for the old flag I at the ballot-box as they did on the field of I carnage with the bullet. The speakers were I. felicitous in expounding the issues before | the people, and were received with outbursts I of enthusiasm. The ball in. the First Dis | trict is now fairly started, and the true and I loyal men will keep it rolling onward and I more vigorously until the sixth of Novem | ber crowns their labor with a glorious | triumph. County Sabbath School. Association. —To-morrow, the 18th insL, the Camden County Sabbath School Association will hold its annual Convention in Camden. A large representation is expected, and ample preparations have been made for their re ception. This Association was organized in 1859, and through the collection and dis semination of statistics of the Sabbath School work in the county,and the awaken- ing influence of conventions held at various points, has done much to give impetus and efficiency to this powerful agency for good. The afternoon session will be de voted to a general conference in relation to the work in the county, and in the . evening the Association will be addressed by the Rev. Messrs. Rose, Henry Baker, Monroe, and others. This Association has done great good in its work, and is no w in a prosperous condition. A Villainous Pboceeding.— The Re publican Unionists of Camden, and in fact throughout the entire first district, were painfully surprised at finding the name of James B. DaytOD, E-q., reported in the pro ceedings of the Copperhead Convention at Woodbury as a candidate for nomination. This was evidently done, in the absence of that gentleman, by that unscrupulous party, to create disaffection among the Re publicans, as Mr, Dayton authorizes U 3 to assert that his name was used without hi 3 consent &ncl contrary to his emphatic re ffiSal to have anything to do with that con vention. Mr. Dayton is a brother of late Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, is a Bound and un swerving Republican, and has no sympathy with the party that encourages treason. His Head Off.— Richard H. Lee, the able and gentlemanly Postmaster of Cam den has been at last decapitated by the ex ecutive axe, and T. C. Moore, a strong cop perhead, appointed in his place. This is way A. Johnson rewards his Republican friends. It is understood that the axe will fall on all the officers in the first district whorefuseto pay the Johnson assessment for the campaign.. Very few, however, wiil pay it. ; Sale of Government Property. The United States District Tax Commis sioner will sell to the highest bidder, the following Government property, situated on the ißlandß of Port Royal, Ladies, St. Helena, Boosa and Parry. The sales will be as follows: November Ist, 1866, forty four lots and houses in the town of. Beau fort; November oth, nearly three thousand lots in the newly laid out city of Port Royal, at the southwest end of St. Helena Island; December 3d, thirty-three school farms, all improved, and containing in the aggre gate, six thousand acres. These sales are to be made under the act of July 6th, 1866, which., provides that the “school farms in the (parish of St. Helena, South Carolina, shall be sold subject to any lease ef the same, on or before January Ist, 1867, at .not less than $lO per acre, and the lots in the city of Port Royal, and the lots and houses in the town of Beaufort, which have been bid in by the United States at tax saleß, shall be sold at public auotion,.and the proceeds of said Bales, after paying ex penses of the surveys and sales, shall be invested in the United States bonds, the in terest af which shall be appropriated to the support of schools, without distinction of race or color, on the islands in the parishes of St. Helena and St. Luke. Murder of a Freedman In Georgia. Augusta, Oct. 16.—A freedman was shot in Columbia county laßt night. The out rage originated from a difficulty with a white man, which the freedman reported to General Tillson, who advised him to seek redress from the civil authorities. A party of white men surrounded his house last night, while attempting to escape. The citizens are indignant at the outrage. A military force has been sent to arrest the perpetrators. ' ' . Several jayhawkers have been arrested in Newton county by the military. .• A slight frost occurred in this vicinity last night. The weather is favorable to the cottoncrop, which iB looking better. The Quebec Sufferers. Quebec, Oct. 16.—At a meeting called to devise means of relief for, the sufferers by the late fire, $15,000 was subscribed. A treasurer has been appointed to receive fur ther contributions. The number of lives lest is now known to be six. The number of houses burned is found to .be even larger than previously estimated, and numbers twebiy-three hundred. Nearly .twenty thousand people are without shelter. The skating rißg, drill sheds, Marine Hospital, the Jacqu®ss Castor Hall, and-the lower town market are filled with people. The weather is very favorable. 1 General N. P. Banks was renominated yesterday, for Congress by the Bepublicans in the Sixth District on the first ballot. General Banks bad one hundred and: fol-ty tbree votes out of one hundred; and fifty one, and the nomination was made- unani mous amid great cheering.- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN; PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1866. A party of three men came to the office of Alderman Albeitz, in the Fifth Ward, yes terday, and desired the magistrate to draw j up a written article or legal agreement in which one of the parties gave over to the other all his right, title and-interest in the § arson of his wife for the small sum of $5, ie third person to act as a witness. The Alderman asked the hnsbandof the woman thus offered for sale if she was. willing to accede to the terms offered by her purchaser. He received an affirmative answer, bnt still be refused to draw up the article until the lady berself should be Drought to the office, for her written consent. 1 The trio started to ;et the latter, bat up to the time of pur leav ing the office they had not returned. All be parties are Welsh and reside in the Fifth Ward. —Pittsburgh Gazette. - Rbhabkable Case of Resection.— Nearly threatfeare ago a pamphlet appeared from the pen of Dr. Formento, an accom plished physician of this city, containing memoirs of his practice while surgeon-of the Louisiana Hospital, at Richmond, Vir ginia. Among the remarkable cases re lated in- these memoirs, was that of a re section, which, to the unprofessional reader, must have appeared almost inoredible. The operation in question was performed on the arm of Captain H. B. Myatt, of the La fayette Cadets, 14th Louisiana Volunteers, wounded at Gaines’s Mill, on the 27th of June, 1862. His left arm was badly broken at the elbow. The next day, 28th of June, four inches of the bone above the elbow were resected and taken ont through an incision, which was then closed. In a short time the subject not only returned to the field,bnt re turned with the use of his left arm to such an extent that, except in being four inches shorter, it was scarcely distinguishable from, the other. The report of such a case might well encounter doubt; bnt fortunately, Capt. Myatt presents himself as a witness to its perfect verity, and Is willing to exhibit his arm to the skeptical as ocular proot We have seen It. The sight, though plain to the eyes, almost baffles belief. It is certainly a marvel of surgery. There is no socket for the elbow—no junction between the upper and lower bones. The lower arm hangs as if just broken and held by nothing but the skin; but the muscles work perfectly, and the left arm can perform every movement which the right can, with equal precision, and with almost equal strength.— if.
