Pennsylvania may know her derelict boh?, and may not

SKETCHES OF CITY LIFE.
THE ALMSHOUSE INSANE.
The Io3S of reason is a grievous loss, and particu
larly grievous to the poor, who hove no means but
their wits. The private madhouse shuts up much
sorrow : —young mothers with all woolth but chil
dren, who, losing them, loso mind ; young men, full
of promise, thnt go mad with thought and the
chafings of ambition; and age, that made its idols
and found them clay, so that it wopt itself wild.
But in the Almshouse wards, whore the crazed
poor are bolted in and watched, there are a thou
sand terrible existences, upon whoso losses and sor
rows the mind looks down and weeps, shuddering
at its own littleness and the narrow boundary be
tween the man nmt the maniac.
The Philadelphia Almshouse stands just beyond
the cily, over the Schuylkill, and from its long
wings and beautiful portico, a green lawn slopes
gently down to the river. Children look over the
stream. unconscious of the realities behind its walls,
and think the splendid building somo eastlo of the
story-book that shuts up a knight or a princess, who
count their riches and hold their court, and know of
misery not oven in their dreams.
We passod a half hour at the plncc yesterday,
and noted some incidents that spoil in the portrayal.
To reach tho place, ono must cross the bridge at
Market street, and keep straight on to Darby
rend, proceeding out which a few squares, the
massive wgllfj- and wings stop, di.scleso themselves,
between the turnpike and thu.river. Indications
of the character of the house lie all along tho road,
in the shape of strolling paupers, discharged or es
caped, wbhiwcnr the common blue jackot and
breeches off the inmates. There is an old woman,
perhaps, holding a bundle, and plodding close up
to a strapping lad in military dress—her son, re
turned from the war—whoso first act of duty is to visit
and release his old mother. She nods and smiles
through her drawn-up chin and empty gums, for
the world is fresh to her, as in childhood, and,
Laving found Lex* boy, there is no more poverty.
W© see, ids©, a fallow overgrown man, with a la/.y
gait, who saunters by with u frccklod, uncleanly
woman. They have been discharged, ns able to
labor, and have como out very reluctantly, proba
bly to devise some plan of getting back again ; or,
failing in tlint. depend upon a commitment to
prison lor vagrancy. Anything rather than volun
tary work'.
The gate is guarded by a grim gentleman in
.spectacles, who is reading a penny paper. Wc pass
him ant. enter upon a pleasant gravelled lane that
leuds under rows of mulberry and maple trees, by
a farm house, until wc reach a high fence, propped
up at intervals by a pauper in blue, who humbly
solicits a pieeo of tobacco, and insinuates that its
value in change will bo equally desirable. At an
elbow in the lane wo sec tho river, shining like a
ribbon of silver, and, turning to tho right, walk
down a Lrielc pavement by several gates, ascending
a flight of stone steps, undor a splendid row of pil
lars. Here wc meet a pauper in plaid pantaloons,
who lifts his cap and looks at us through one eye,
speaking at the same time in a decidedly Cockney
dialect. Wc present a permit, and call his atten
tion to the facts that it is marked “Special’’ and
designates the insane department as open to inspec
tion. To our groat surprise, tho man at once sits
down on a step and proceeds to beat his forehead
with the palm of his hand, at the same time rubbing
his remaining eye.
“I beg your pardon,” ho says directly, gelling
up and putting on his cap. I hoften got 'ard of
’enring, sir. It wus my misfortune to be 'ove from
a mils', 'end and fall on my heyo. Just look at my
hoye ’. It mnkes me dizzy sometimes. ’Old on,
sir, if you plense!”
The man come 3 hack in a minute, having got tho
doctor’s signature on the permit, and we go with
him up and down flights of steps and long halls,
through the lying-in, the children’s, tho old wo
men's, and the male and female pauper wards,
finding at every turn something to awaken emo
tions and stir strange thoughts. YVc see young
children, neatly dressed in bib aprons, gambolling
in a broad grassy playground, full of shade trees.
A nrnt, intelligent lady is sitting in the doorway,
sewing, and she answers all interrogatories in a
kindly tone.
“ How many children have you, madam, under
instruction?”
“About two hundred and sixty.”
“ You don't teach them ail ?”
. “ All of them. I dox’t find it hard.”
“ Are they all orphans I''
’i .“ Very few. Their parents come once a month,
by rule, to see them, and ahvilya with sweetmeats
of some kind, so that there is a time of great re
joicing.”
YVe learn further, that vacation U now in order,
and studies suspended. The boys and girls arc
bound out at requisite ages, and come back, when
the time of apprenticeship has expired, stalwart
young men and developed women, often full of
promise and anxious to go out into tho world of
labor. Many of the children arc born in the Alms
house, and they leavo before sufficiently matured
to be conscious of any degradation. A few havo no
relatives or friends, and have, therefore, nothing to
lose, having possessed nothing. .Some of the
children are very intelligent, and we saw many
bright-eyed and of winning manners.
In tho old women’s department there wore two
score of grim, white-haired creatures, in high
starched caps, seated motionless in straight chairs,
some leaning upon crutches or smoking, and all
looking—oh! how lonesomely—into space, as if
filled with thoughts of life, which lay for them all,
far back, where youth lay dead with its hundred
associations. If any man has a hard heart, lot him
look at these old women, and imagine his mother
in their places. They rise at day-break, and sip
gruel at breakfast with a quivering spoon, after
ward hobbling to a chair, where they look help
lessly at the floor and talk incomprehensible things.
Somebody gives them a pipe, with which they burn
themselves and smoke incessantly until dinner,
which they eat mechanically, and straightway go
to sleep. After sleep they sit up to another pipe,
and look through the clouds of smoke forever into
space, until one could almost see the wrinkles in
their cheeks grow deeper, and the few white hairs
become fewer. Then somebody leads them to sup
pler, where they drink a cup of tea, spilling it mean
while, and after supper to bed again. Thus the old
women go off, one by one, ami nobody says to her
neighhor, “YVlioro is Mother Smith to day?” or
“Mother Miggs is deadfor life has grown so sere
to them that death and life arc alike. God help the
old women!
Thus wc go. through cleanly halls and aisles, by
siek rooms vrhero nien and women groan in pain;
by doctors, with servants at their heels, carrying
cases of Tials,; and into cells and high chambers,
where the flavor of disease fills the atmosphere ; by
the chapel, where the hope is taught the wretched
that, after this wretched life, another life remains;
and by the dead-house, whero the ashes of the pau
pers rest until tho gloomy Charon drives his vehicle
to the door, and the livid corpse goes jostling out
the lane, to decay, hut not always to the coffin and
the grave.
The insane department consists of ail the south
side of the Almshouse square. Tho male depart
ment occupies the east- half of the wing, and at the
extreme west end of the other half is tho “Lodge,”
where the maniacs and violent are bound in straight
jackets, and sometimes chained.
In tho male department we found Henry B.
Hirst, whilom a lawyer and a poet, the author of
Endymion, a companion of Poe and tho leading
men of that time, and long the publisher of periodi
cals, employing upon their columns some of the
best talent on the continent. Inordinate self-es
teem, and dissipation, have done their work with
his wits, and for a long time he ran about the streets
in strange habiliments, imagining himself by turns
the President and all the crowned heads, the dupe
of facetious newspaper olerks, and the boro of the
editors, until he was sent by his friends to tho
Almshouse. For a time he behaved extravagantly,
and believed himself in the moon or Japan, until,
in rational moments, the light broke in upon him,
and he knew himself au occupant of the Almshouse.
From that time he tamed his waywardness, gained
the favor of the doctors and the steward, and when
we beheld him yesterday, was sitting demurely in
a chair, coarsely but neatly dressed, reading tho
newspaper. We thought him, indeed, convalcs
cent, until he came up with a grave face, and stated
that his name was Beauregard, the grandson of the
stars, and the eldest child of the late Comet, Chris
tianized, and heir to the throne of Morocco, etc.,
etc. At all of which wo gravely bowed, and acqui
esced in a remark from our guide: “Crazy as a
bed-bug!”
The idiots constitute a mournful feature of this
department. They go about in all stages of de
formity, with big and little heads, muttering, grin
ning, sunning themselves at the windows, and hum
ming queer tunes. How hideous seem the glances
from their cunning eyes, as they pace up to our
feet at a half run, and jcor.and gibe iu half-articu
late tones'. The mothors who boro them must have
gnashed their teeth and cursed themselves for the
offspring that came forth to make the day terrible.
Tho fcrnalo insane aro of all nationalities, and
crazed of all disorders. Some wero sick, and the
mind was crushed out by pain, and some brought
down hereditary insanity where imprudence or na
ture begat it. Others followed up the promptings
of bod passion, till the passion ate up tho mind, and
there were some whom sudden reverses or fortuaes
made mad. They went about with dishevelled hair,
immodest, vicious, slovenly, and many betrayed no
consciousness of tho visitor’s presence, but looked
ever straight before them like somnambulists.
There were others that came close up with words
frightful from their incomprehensibility, and ono
peered into our eyes—her own full of sadness and
led with weeping—saying, in a whisper, “ Is that
my boy ?is that my boy 1 Ah! no, that isn't my
boy. Not my boy V ’ Wc heard her say thi3 until wo
had passed out of hearing. A few had great eyes,
that seemed to burn with a strange fire away down in
their depths, like those of wild beasts, whom they
also imitated in their stealthiness of tread, and a
certain manner of crouching, as if about to spring.
An old man, whom wc had seen years before, had
died, tho kcepor told us. He] believed himself the
Apostles and their Muster down to the day of his
death. In the last hours, we were told, lie still
persisted in his strange belief, and looked in tho
darkness for no other Master to lift the errant
apostle up. There was one man who believed him
self a horse, another a woman, a third an elephant,
and they went through most ridiculous movements
to indieolo their several gimp©!*. These, with a
hundred others, were seated in a broad haUwitii
benches at tho sides, and a few pictures updn the
wall to attract their attention. They were sharply
called to by tho nurses when unruly, and lived,
like the fabled fiend, walking up and down, and
lying prone on their backs, speaking strange
matters.
In the “cells" and strong chambers wo found a
few women and men in straight-jackets, somo
hound down to heavy chains, and others with hair
shaved close to the scalp. Into the “lodge” we did
not go ; the sounds that wailed through tho windows
gave fancy a rein which half drwq tgp mhhl Cl'QtH
its mU and scared the heart back.
In the?e chambers how many blight lives, sud
denly blighted, have been walled up, as in a vault,
and over the faces of ninny no gleam of intelligence
elmll ever flit to bid friends hspe, or make
kindred blessed.
All tho wards arc scrupulously clean ; ttjq yrholg
Alm£h9USC i? a pattern of cleanliness, and ilio au 1 ,
in most oases, is fresh as a broego. From the win
dows wc catch glimpses of the rivor and the beau
tiful city beyond, with fine rolling country and
white farmhouses, and a sail or two upon the Dela
ware. How bright withoul, how desolate within!
How hopeful those winds, and clear colors and
green slopes: how hopeless these lives and de
formed bodies and feeble intelligences! In those,
nature has been bountiful and mind active and
well directed; in these, nature seems imimtura];
the body a corpse tenanted by evil spirits, and
what little of reason remains, so warped and dis
torted that the man is a hideous image, set up like
Frankenstein, to cast his hideous shadow upon the
world and make men dream of horrors.
THE INSANE AT KIKKBRIDE’S.
This picture of the Insane poor finds a striking
counterpart in tho picture of the insnno rich, as pre
sented at the West Philadelphia Hospital, common
ly known as Kirkbrido's. This institution is ap
proached by Market. Forty-second, and Jlaverford
streets, and the large and beautiful tract of ground
enclosing the buildings is surrounded by some of the
finest residences in the States. The buildings and
the grounds are maintained in a condition of ele
gance. which reminds the visitor of parks and pa
laces, and everything seems to have been so designed
that tho terrible purposes and tenants of the place
are forgotten in tho beauty of terraces and rare
plants and glorious trees, with apartment B of sump
tuous dimensions, filled with rich furniture and pic
tures ; cook-rooms where invention has expended
itself in culinary contrivances; stublo3 with fine
horses and light phaetons; a score of deer to gambol
under the foliage, and museums of rare matters,
with books and flowers and fountain.-'.
Tho insane are often mistaken by the stranger for
visitors, and none of the repulsive scenes of the
ALu&hou?o nr© presented, of hopeless beings hud
dled together in bare apartments, some tied down
and laced in straight jackets, while their miserable
follow lunatics look down upon them and shudder
or mock. The Hospital for the In3ftno grew out of
tho Pennsylvania Ilospitul, located on Pino street.
In May. 1831, tho contributors decided that a
separate asylum for the insane was expedient, and
instructed the managers to propose a suitable site at
a future meeting. In May, 1832, and subsequently
in 1835, they gave authority to sell the vacant
grounds east, west, nnd southwest of the hospital, in
order to raise money for the new buildings. Tho site
selected was a farm extending from Huvcrford to
the Westchester road, about two miles west of the
city, containing somewhat more than.iOO acres.
The corner-stone of {! The Pennsylvania Hospital
for tho Insane M was laid June 22d, 1836. and the
house was opened for the reception of patients upon
the first day of the year 1811. The whole cost of
it was sustained without any encroachment upon
the productive capital.
There are thus two great branches of tlic Penn
sylvania Institution—tho Hospital in the city, in
tended for the reception of medical, surgical, and
obstetrical patients, nad the Hospital for the Insane,
situated in tho country.
The domestic economy of each of these establish
ments is under the superintendence of u stoward
and matron.
The original hospital has been appropriated of
late entirely to the use of female patients, and a
new building erected on the west of the grounds,
devoted solely to the use of males. The males were
removed to this latter building in July, 1859.
The original building had been nineteen years in
uninterrupted use, and, for a long period, its wards
had been so steadily filled with patients that exten
sive repairs could not be undertaken.
The number of males in the hospital during the
year 1860 was 263, and the number of females was
202. The highest number of males at any ono time
was 157, and the highest number of females was 131.

By examining tlic statistics furnished u:
institution by Dr. Lee, to whom, also, wo
debted for numerous courtesies, wc find that insani
ty most commonly presents itself between tho ages
of 20 and 25. decreasing uniformly above and belOW
these figures. Thus, 07S patients manifested luna*
cy between the ages specified; 301 between the ages
of 40 and 45, and 301 between the ages of 15 and
20. Between 25 and 40 there were 1.389. of whom
407 were beyond 35. The cause of insanity with
508 was ill health; with 231 intemperance; with 130
loss of property; with 84 domestic troubles; with
131 religious excitement; with 37 want of employ
ment ; with 27 use of opium and tobacco; with 224
mental anxioty, etc. These people were of all na
tionalities. 1,074 were single, 1,605 married, 212
widows, ahd 80 widowers. Yfe instance the follow
ing pursuits; farmers 273; wives of farmers 157 ;
daughters of farmers 85; students 00; merchants
173; clerks 142; laborers 140; tailors and shoe
makers 81. etc.
In tho oighty-ninc years during which the insane
were received into the first or old hospital, 4,330 of
this class were admitted, and of these 1,493 were
cured, 913 discharged improved, 995 were removed
by their friends without material improvement, 240
eloped, 010 died. 93 were transferred to the new
building, nnd 16 still retained at tho old. In the
twonty years during which the now Pennsylvania
Hospital for the Insane has been in operation, 3,571
patients have been admitted, and of those 1,754
haro been discharged cured, 807 in various states
of improvement, 347 as stationary, 389 died, and
274 remain under care at this datte.
This institution has claims differing in character
from all others. It has no aid from city or State,
being self-sustaining, and relies entirely on the libe
rality of private citizens. It is purely benevolont
in its objects, and as much for the benefit of thoso
blessed with abundance as for the poor; interfering
with no existing charity, it is rosorted to alike by
members of every religious denomination.
All classes of insane persons, without regard to
the duration of the disease or of its curability, arc
admitted into this institution. Idiots, however,
are not received; and for the epileptic, a special
agreement is made.
Cases of mania-a-potu arc not received, but into
the city hospital exclusively.
Preparatory to the reception of a patient, it is
necessary to arrange tho rate of board, &a., with a
member of the Board of Managers, and to furnish a
certificate of the patient’s insanity from a respecta
ble graduate of medicine, 1 with a request from a
near relative or friend that the individual may be
received into the institution. A full and detailed
history of each ease is also particularly requested.
For the payment of hoard, and removal of a pa
tient when discharged. security is always required
from some responsible resident of the city.
We passed an hour yesterday in going through
the building and grounds. The male and female
departments are half a mile apart, with walls and
a street intervening. Tho grounds arc encompassed
by a wall ten feet high, so ingeniously concoalod by
slopes and shrubbery that the occupants can from
no part of cither building see it. Tho great gate
has a slide in it, and a heavy knacker calls up an
elderly gcntleman-in gray, who directs you to walk
straight on by a gravelled carriage drive and flower
beds, with a fountain or two throwing a light jet of
water, and a great circular green, dottod with huge
leaved aloes. We pass two museums, with terraces
TWO CENTS.
end shady Beats upon them, and within, groups of
bird?, fragments of old nrmor, pictures, and a few
fine busts of great heads. Here are t^te-d-tites , i
where the insane bury themselves to the arms in {
cushions and hoar tho nurses rend from somo book 1
by tho library, until the morning wears away a 9
pleasantly ns if the listener were never troubled
with unreal shadows. Tho old building is built of
Valley Forge granite, and consists of a main cross
shaped house, with two wings, surmounted by a
dome and cupolas. $25,000 have recently beon ex
pended upon the old building. At the main flight
of steps a few of the inmates were seated, whom wo
mistook for visitors like ourselves, and after a time
wc were piloted through tho various wards. None
of tho inmates arc now confined—so wo wore told—
and the apartments were all tasteful and luxurious.
At ono of the stairways wc saw West's picture of
“Christ healing the sick.”
In September, 1800, the managers wrote to Ben
jamin West, soliciting a contribution from his pencil.
This request received in the following yoar a favor
able answer from West, who suggested as the sub
ject of the painting the text of Scripture, “And
the blind and tho lame came to Him in the temple,
and He healed them," than which certainly none
could be more appropriate. In August, 1810, notice
was received that the painting might be soon looked
for; and expectation was on tip-toe, not only among
those especially interested in the hospital, but in
the whole community. But tho picture, when ex
hibited in England, excited suoh a glow of admi
ration that English patriotism took the alarm, and
nobles and commons, rich and poor, united in the
determination to retain it in tho country. West
could not resist the various influences exerted, and
wns prevailed on to allow tho painting to remain;
but he immediately engaged in the preparation of
a copy, which he resolved should exceed the origi
nal.
It was not, however, until October, 1817, that tU*
painting reached this country. It was immediately
placed in a building which had been specially
erected for its reception upon the hospital lot on
Spruce street, and ; haying beep, opened for exhibi
tion, at tho price of 25 cehts for admission, attract
ed a throng of visitor!, fthich yielded for several
years a considerable incWhO t® the mstitution. Tho
monoy received from the opening of the exhibition,
to the present time has been somewhat more than
twenty-five thousand dollars; and, as fits whole
outlay on account of tho picture was not equal to
toil thousand dollars, tho profit, deducting the c-ost
of exhibition, amounts to about fifteen thousand
dollars.
Several of West's early paintings are exhibited
near by, one of which was cut from the door-panels
of the room in which he was born. We visited the
chapel of the institution, and likewise tho libraries,
gymnasium, etc. Entertainments at tho two de
partments being on alternate evenings, whenever
anything of special interest occurs at either, parties
of from twenty to forty pass from one houso to the
other, thus approaching more nearly the habits of
regular lecture-goers. A pleasant evening walk,
to and fro, and the lecture-room entertainment, are
often an effectual mode of changing the current of
thought, which naturally would have place in the
wards.
The insane are kept in classes, as in Dr. ICirk
bi ide's opinion ‘ : the only proper classification of tho
insane must be based on the mental eouditiou and
social traits of individuals. Those whose society
would most benefit each other, and have tho least
chance of injurious influence, should be together,
and then great gsod, instead of harm, very often
results from the association, while those whoso
proximity would be hurtful must be kept separate."
Wc saw nothing among them that augured uu-
L< O uu o u..
happiness, and the institution and its surroundings
appeared to be most happily arranged.
Many of the inmates hare one or even two and
three attendants; a few arc provided with coaches;
and their relatives seem assiduous in showering
upon them ail comforts and conveniences. Doubt
less there must much sorrow attend the loss of rea
son ; but hero all remedial agencies arc so plea
santly employed that one half forgets the object of
the place in its attractiveness.
Dr. ICirkbrido has given to this institution the
best part of bis life, and he mainly has given it
note and credit.
Hon. Edward Everett on Northern Seces
sion Journals.
Hon. Edward Everett has written a long paper
on the rights and duties of war, from which wc ex
tract the following passage on Secession papers in
tlie Korth. Mr. Everett fays;
There arc presses, for the most part in the Bor
der States, though some of them are found in cities
more remote from the scene of action, which aro
daily pleading the cause of the enemy, misrepre
senting and vilifying the Government of the United
States, exaggerating every article of unfavorable
intelligence, and exerting themselves to the utmost
to dishearten the friends and defenders Oi the C-n
-stitution nDd the Union. But such is the all but
superstitious devotion of the people to the liberty
of the press, that these pernicious journals have,
with the exception of a single instance in St. Louis,
never been interfered with. It seems to have been
thought better by those in authority to tolerate the
mischief of those unpatriotic presses,'than to ele
vate them to greater importance by prosecution, or
to encroach in the slightest degree upon that free
dom of public discussion which in ordinary times
is justly regarded as one of the great safeguards of
liberty. But it is preposterous to sacrifice the end
to tho means. Wo should in this respect learn
wisdom from the enemies of the Union. While
we regard as unbecoming our Christian civiliza
tion that resort to lynch law by which overy
expression of opinion adverse to the popular senti
ment is suppressed in the seceding States, we ought
to remember that in tolerating a traitorous press
among ourselves we practise a liberality which
awakens no gratitude at home, and is never recipro
cated by the opposite party. It is in fact an absurd
ity in terras, under the venerable name of the lib
erty of the press, to permit the systematic and li
centious abuse of a government which is tasked to
the utmost in defending the country from general
disintegration and political chaos. The Governor
of Malta was once censured in Parliament for
some alleged severity toward the editor of a
journal in that island; and the liberty of the press
was declared to be in danger. The Duke of Wel
lington said he was as friendly as anybody to the
liberty of the press in London, but a freo’pross in
the island of Malta was as much out of place as it
would be on the quarterdeck of a man-of-war. Wo
suppose the most enthusiastic champion of the lib;
erty of the press would hardly think it right- to pub
lish ft journal within the walls of Fort McHenry, in
which the officers of the garrison should be daily
advised to desert, and the meu bo constantly ex
horted to mutiny, and whose columns should he
filled with persistent abuse of . the Government and
all engaged in its defence. Why should journals
of that description be allowed to diffuse their poison
beneath its walls amidst the excitable populace of
a large city ?

Tenth Pennsylvania, Aug. 19, ISBI.
Mr. EDITOR : The regiment since its arrival a
this place has been doing picket duty. In the iui
mediate neighborhood of Dixie, and remembering
his lato trick played on a couple of our men a few
weeks ago, every tree, every brush, and stump arc
eagerly scanned by our night watches, lost an armed
foe may be lurking behind ; and it has happened
more than onee that some of our gallant fellows
possessing rather vivid imaginations, have convert
ed harmless old stumps into murderous Confede
rates, and, after vainly demanding the countersign,
discharged their pieces, or charged bayonets full
upon them.
Perhaps no other place equals a camp for wild
and exaggerated rumors. Report follows report
quick as the thunderbolt succeeds the flash—of bat
tles fought and won; of the dead and wounded, and
prisoners taken; of expected attacks, of capturod
spies, which hardly arc away, till Phoenix-like,
their ashes spring anew to life*; and like the Athe
nians of old, our idle hours arc employed in hearing
or telling some new thing.
It is a picturesque sight to stand on elevated
ground and look down upon tho enmp at night be
fore the lights are extinguished. The lights glisten
through the transparent tents; inside of one seve
ral soldiers are gathered round the candle; one
holds a book—the Christian volume—in his hand ;
another is engaged writing to his heart’s dearest
treasure, vowing eternal love through earth and
heaven; a third is supporting himsolf on his
elbow, wrapped in a pleasing lit of melancholy ;
while a fourth is stretened at full length upon his
back, and a 3 his nasal trumpet sounds forth its ob
livious notes his soul sees a sweet Vision and hears
his wife sob aloud for him to stay at home. In ano
ther tent several careless fellows are engaged at a
game of euchre. In the next street a German is
telling with animated voice and gesture som.e com
mon-place tale; whilo near, and above all the wel
kin rings, tho stentorian voices of a group singing
the Bed, White, and Blue. K.
Quebec and its Fortifications,
From a letter from Quebec in the Boston Travel
ler. wo learn that the fortress is now garrisoned by
tho Sixtioth Hides and the Seventeenth Infantry,
just arrived from England. This ancient fortress is
naturally of great strength, but as it has beon much
neglected, the walls now look as though a few
Armstrong, Sawyer, or Whitworth rifled cannon
might in a short time astonish it 3 garrison. At all
events, its present strength is in its position.
Four Armstrong cannon aro en route for this for
tress, which wul be mountod upon a high point
within tho fortress, so as to sweep the approaches
in every direction. The work of repairing is also
in progress, and very little is needed to render it
next to Gibraltar in strength. The writer was in
formed that the fortress is mined throughout, but
as so many contradict it. and give good reason for'
their assertions, he is of the opinion that one or two
passages and the magazines are all that exist, the
rest of the foundation being solid; from prosent
appearances it will soon ho on a war footing. and
of course will then be impregnable. The River du
Loup, another important point, is also to bo strongly
fortified. As this point- is far below Quebec, it
would seem as though 11. M. Government were
contemplating contingencies.

An Attach on Philadelphia.
[For The PrcKH.]
Is there any danger of the rebel forces attacking
Philadelphia ? Any angwer that con bo given to
this question must be indefinite. Iu time of wu
many unexpected events occur. The part of wis
dom is to bo prepared. It will be admitted by every
candid mind that should the enemy by a manoeuvre
cross the I'otomac, and by the aid of Maryland
pass through that State into Pennsylvania, with tha
view of taking this city, we would be entirely at
their mercy, eo far ns artificial dofcnces are con
cerned. Our Home Guard and Reserve Brigade
would doubtless do good service, but would thojr
not bo altogether unable to defend the city unless
protected by strong fortifications ? It seems then,
that, to complete tho organization of the Home
Guard, nil the approaches to the city from the
South should be defended..by earthworks, or such
other fortifications ns military skill may determine
to bo ncocs3ury. If the robela prudently remain
south of Mason and Dixon’s line, the danger is
avoided ; should they be so rash ns to invade Penn
sylvania, wc will be prepared to meet them. The
very knowledge that we arc prepared may defoat
the carrying out of plans now matured.
The members of the Home Guard and Reserve
Brigade, and hundreds of our fellow-citizens be
sides, would cheerfully give tlicir time and labor te
the erection of earthworks whorever required.
This matter is worthy the consideration of every
man interested in the safety of our beloved city.

polities and. political organizations, which mean
now office-hunting and combinations of office
hunters and expectants, tend only to make divisions
in the North, embnrrass the Administration, and
embolden the enemy. This bein<* the case, it te la
mentable in the extreme that hordes of men can bo
• found going round seeking office, keeping up party
! excitement, distractingthc friends of the Govern
-1 ment, giving aid add comfort to tho rebels, merely
for the purpose of getting another grab at the pub
lic coffers, willing to take another clutch at them,
though in doing so they would have to leave tha
Government go—go forever, with all its hallowed
memories and glorious hopes. If one who hold a
high office under Mr. Buchanan was right, soma
; time since, when he said he felt like spitting in tho
face of any man who would attempt to talk
politics with him. with what contempt should those
! men be treated who, too full of treason or COTF
, ardice to join the army, in defence of the Govern
ment, arc full enough of meunness and selfishness to
throw embarrassment in the way of the Adminis
tration, in this day of the Government's terrible
trial, to stir up party excitement, and weaken the
hands of loyal men—all that they may obtain an
office, and pocket the emoluments thereof? Surely,
the Revolutionary Cow-boys, or Patrick Henry's
beef contractor, never deserved half tho scorn that
these men do. What parly now ha 3 any claim
upon the suffrages or support of this community ?
Not the old American party, though, to its honor bo
it said, it bad no traitors iu tho last Congress. But
what would we do now without the foreigner or tho
Cutholic ? Not the Constitutional Union party,
with it 3 besotted rebel leader. Not the People's
party, which, though containing many good on!
noble men, has shown itself to be possessed Of jnONJ
intrinsic corruption, considering its age, than any
party thut has ever existed. And certainly not tha
once noble and glorious, but now Godforsaken, hones
ty-deserted. treason-wedded, Breckinridge-riddou
democratic party. None of these can have my sup
port. With the three former I never had any
sympathy, but with the latter I was once proud to
be identified. When it was a united party, extend
ing from Maine to California, from Oregon to Flo
rida, holding the entire nation together in the em
brace of its mighty arms, knowing no North nor
South, nor East nor West, taking care of the rights
of all, leading us on, with majestic tread, steadily
and graurllv to the foremost position among tho
nations of tho oiu’lli— then it wits an honor to ho ■
long to it. But, alas! that great party is niufofe*
And tho men who stabbed it to tho heart, mur
dered it, destroyed it—the Breckinridge Democrats,
—arc exhuming the remains and galvanizing tho
body from which they drove the soul, that they
may, through some spasmodic iniiuenco it may yet
possess, get their hands once more in the publi®
pocket, and give another long and strong pull at th»
public treasury. These men, who stood by tha
party and up to the party as long as it was cenvo
nient, but wlio belied its principles, degraded anil'
disgraced its very memory, as soon as it was con
venient; who supported a bogus and traitorous
nominee for the Presidency, and hunted the regu
larly nominated Democratic candidate, the rorerod
Douglas, with blood-liound ferocity, until tlrrgrev*
dosed over him—these men call themselves tho
Democratic party; are making party organisations,
and are asking us to nominate ana elect them to
party offices. I will not do it, and I call upon my
old Democratic friends to remember that none wish
to keep up party organizations but those who ex
peot office; that every man who is a party man
now is an enemy to the Government, and that
every man who asks for a party nomination
now has no interest in tho Government further
than what ho can pick out of it; that he would
sacrifice you and ruin your Government for tha
office; and, remembering this, give them the full
benefit of tho Breckinridge doctrine, which is.
opjiose with all yottr powers the 7'egitlnr nomi
nations. The men who broke up your party and
ruined your Government should never have your
support, and never aguin ho trusted. Honest men,
without regard to party, will soon he put in nomi
nation. Let these be elected; let party spirit he
destroyed; let the Administration be sustained by
the strong arm of the whole people; then will the
rebellion soon he evushed, and wo be again an undi
vided people. James Miller,
The East Pennsylvania Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, at Norristown.
Mr. Editor: The East Pennsylvania Agricul
tural and Mechanical Society was organized last
year, and, during the sitting of the last State Legis
lature, it was incorporated by act of Assembly.
Already the greunds have been selected, tho con
tracts for the buildings and gradings given out, and
the days for holding the first exhibition fixed upon.
Thisjnstitution concerns the whole of Eastern Penn
sylvania, and will attract to its grand display, on
the 23d, 21th. and 25ili days of September next,
one of the largest convocations of active business
u-.on ever known in the borough of Norristown.
The society has been successful in the location of
its buildings here. At the termhuus of the Phila
delphia, Germantown, and Norristown Railroad, on
the line of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road, and at the eastern terminus of the Ches
ter Valley Railroad, which connects Norristown
with Downingtown on tho Central Pennsylva
nia Railroad, tho exhibition will he easy of ac
cess from all pnrts of the State, and will occupy
a beautiful eminence overlooking the boroughs of
Norristown and Bridgeport, and commanding a vie w
of the Schuylkill valley, and the adjacent country
for miles around. Arrangements have boon ill ado
for the most liberal competition, and, at the meeting
held hero la6t evening, Mr. Hufnagle, brother to
Dr. Ilnfnaglc, deceased, was present to mako ar-’
rangements for the transportation of his celebrated
India cattle and sheep now on his farm at New
hope, in Bucks county, to this place, at the time of
the Fair. Trotting horses will be here from atl
pnrts; and. judging from present indications, tho
enterprising mechanics will not be behind tho
farmers and sportsmen in tho eleganco, variety, and
number of their contributions. The Indies have a
large department, and the proper committees h&vo
been selected from their numbor. Twonty-eight
acres of level land have been appropriated for tho
solo purpose of exhibitions, and nround this ground
is a most superb trotting track, and in the centre a
building is in process of erection which will cover
an area of near six thousand square feet, so that
the arrangements and accommodations will be upoa
the broadest scale.
Norristown, lying in the Schuylkill valley, tho
very centre of old Montgomery, between the tWO
rich agricultural districts of Bucks and Chester, and
linked to Lancaster by tho Chester Valley Railroad,
but a step from Philadelphia, and n pleasant ride
from Harrisburg and Reading, is tho most appro
priate site for tho purpose, perhaps in tho whole of
Eastern Pennsylvania. Tho mechanics, and enter
prising citizens of her cities, tho farmers and tho
horsemen in all the country round about, will via
with each other at tho coming exhibition, and thou
sands of others will be there to view, to admire,
and to purchase those valuable contributions to tho
Society. Iligb premiums will be paid for, good
stock, workmanship, skill, art, speed, strength, Ac.,
Ac., rind an oration by some distinguished speaker
will be delivered. Tho. programme will be pub
lished in a few days, and wo may expect a grand
“ndvnncc movement” on Norristown on tho 23d,
21th, and 25th days of September next.
