Petition?:, ftc.) to the following nfloi't u»6M wad by ike secretary: For tho removal of the passenger railroad truck in North Broad street} for changing the location of the city hurial ground; for the introduction by Coun cils in the WWer Department of an invention called the ♦‘waste water supply.” Deferred to committees. Mr. (tyu-r announced that tho Committee for the Re lief oi Volunteers’ Familiefrhd expended, during tho past wfc, $10,828.53* total thus far $±13,010.70. There re mains unexpended about $BO,OOO. Mr. Benton, from the Committee on City Property, reported a bill making certain changes in the location of the diflerent municipal offices. The bill provides that the Quarter Sessions be removed to the room now held by the sheriff, and the sheriff to the late office of the Re corder of Deeds; that the District Court roomb» enlarged by taking in tho present Quarter Seas ons room. Au appropriation of $1,200 is asked for to consummate the change. An amendment by Mr. Mclxtvre to postpone was not agreed to. and the bill passed. Tho same committee made a report relative to the deer in Logan Square, The deer in this sqimro originally numbered but eight. They have now increased to thirty five—thirteen bucks, two stags, and sixteen does* The Tppei t ro-rommcuils that three nmle and female deer be rctaiutti, the rest sold at sum not less than fifteen dollars per head. The question involved a discussion upen zoology. Mr. Fox made a speech, in which he took the ground that if the deer were worth anything at all, as illustrations of natural history, they should he distributed among CtUoi* BUtflH'S- Mi. Neal. thought ditto, and believed that, upon chil dren, the exhibition of tame squirrels and deer produced a highly humanitarian effect. This brought out Mr. Benton, who differed from the former view. The cry deers are expensive* playthings. They cost 5?u00 a year, and even the little squirrels cost the same figure. They are it great source of trouble. On •one occasion the City was mulcted in 51,200, to remune rate a venerable spinster for injuries received in the nqunre from an attack by one of the bucks. The Chair suggested that if the squares were too email—Mr. Benton had so said—the deer could be placed in Fail mount Park; which was met by Mr. Benton with the- argument that the deer would swim the river and leap the fence. The matter then was postponed. An ordinance appropriating s26ofor repairing damage caused by rain to the avenues of Fairuiouut Park was paw**! finally. The following report was read: Tho Committee on Defence and Protection of the City submit tliQ annexed kthtblLMd of the present condition Of tilt- ilOfflC Gllilbl organization, together with a statement of the expendi tures made under the provisions of the ordinance making an appropriation for the defenco and protection of the city: The present force of the Home Guard comprises nearly 4.000 men. who are constantly drilling in their respsc soldierp, In some cases whole companies of the Home five armories. From this organization a large number of the men Which tho city of Philadelphia has furnished the National Government have been sent, and when trans ferred to the field are valuable as skilled and disciplined Guard hare been mustered into service, wunc ««. many of the others have been, materially lessen®* from the same cause. At the time of the report the .city \v> s iu possession of 5000 stand of arms, loaned < by tho War Department to the Home Guard organization. The necessities of the Government obliged a recall of these* arms, w hich have-been returned. This compelled the purchase of guns for the various companies, who are now provided with arms, exclusively belonging to the city. Since the last report tho committee have pur chased 1.000 Enfield rifles, 2,000 Prussian muskets, and two batteries of Parrott rifled cannon, of the bsst con struction, with the necessary gun carriages, caissons, harness. &c. , , A ~c The arms purchased have been distributed to the de ferent infantry companies, and the batteries have been placed in charge of the artillery companies attached to the force. Under legal provisions the committee will ap ply for » return of the duties on the Enfield and Prus sian muskets, which will amount ten Lout ©',ooo. The arms and ammunition purchased, apd in the hands of the etty, are thus: 2,100 Maynard primer muskets, 2,006 Prussian mus kets, 1.000 Enfield rifles, 2 batteries of Parrott cannon, 2 steel rilled cannon, presented to the city by Mr. Swnim; 2 steel rifled cauuon, presented to the city by Mr, McHenry i 2 navy howitzers, from Gnpt. Dahlgren; 440 sabres, 250 Bergeantß’ hwords, 50 drums ; with the necessary infantry equipments and ammunition for the use of the force. . , .. The manner of working the batteries to produce tho per amount of efficiency at as small a cost as possible, ?£, s claimed tire attention of the committee. After cop etilfatSoo \»itb oseperienced officers iu tl»i* branch of the service, they have recommended that the batteries be drilled with hired horses, and in rotation by the respective artillei ) companies. This is the most economical way m which the ttesired result can be accomplished. The pro posed expenditure wilt not exceed, for the first year, 53,500, and for each succeeding year $2,500. The bills for the amounts disbursed in garrisoning Forts Mifflin atd Delaware have been properly made out, mid a demand for their payment tern tie made to tlie General Governmeit. . ... r;,- An accurate reconnoissance is being made by the t itj Surveyor, in connection with an experienced military engineer, of the approaches to Philadelphia, ana, when finished, the result of their labors will be submitted to have expended out of Hie appropriation £125,427. a detailed statement of whirh is annexed. The committee, in conclusion, tender their thanks to the donors of the gifts of cannon to the city. The pro perty under the care of the committee being to the value of $lO,OOO, and requiring the constant cart* of one per son, the committee conclude their report by an ordmaneo recommending the appointment of an officer entitled a superintendent of military stores, who ahull toko care ox the ptopi'ity. . , , i# . A motion to recommit was argued at great length, and lost, when tlie bill was laid over. - A report of the committee upon the subject of cruelty to mules and horses was presented by its chairman, Mr. Neal. The petitions for action by Councils were signed by 214 men and 250 women. The document ia a dk tiWnidy pAJoftil detailing thd ftfcUeltUi Inflicted upon mules and horses by inhuman drivers upon the railroads in Pock, Second, Willow, and Broad streets. It conclude* with an ordinance, providing that animals shall he struck with nothing else than a lash, aud that then blood shall not be drawn. The penalty is five dol laAftor and ordinance wore read, Mr. Cutler, president, gave his opinion as a lawyer, that the ordi nance u mild do no good whatever. It was simply ft be nevolent absurdity, the Legislature having already given the '•ub'fct ample attention. Mr Cuyler earnestly sym pathized with the object of tlie bill, and only regretted the impossibility of carrying its provisions into effect. Mr. Poit.uektt moved to postpone the ordinance in • -definite^. Not agreed to- . . , On tin- final passage a quorum was not present, ana it was laid upon the table. , A . , Mr. Mclntyre moved an appropriation of 5400,ww additional for the relief of the families of volunteers, to be provided for out of the loan already made for the pur pose. Agreed to.

Tlie l>il! appropriating *21,000 from the income of cer tain frusta to the Guardians of tlie Poor, to paj for wood to poor niitons, ires concurred in. The revision of tho grades of \\ est Philadelphia, an thori/.cd by Common Council, was u T so concurred m. Also, an ordinance authorizing the paring of sundry streets. The Chamber adjourned at a late hour. Interesting Private Letters Tbe following private letter, from an officer in tl,e fleet to a gentleman in this city, will be read with interest: 0. S. Steamer Bienville, Pout Royal Uarbok, off Fort Walker. November 9* lobl* "We took this fort, mounting twenty-one guns, after a four hours’ fight. It was nobly done. The Wabash, which led, was carried along the shore by the soundings as close as possible. The soundings were given regularly, ns upon an ordinary occa sion; signals WCTC jnade continually without a single mistake, while the Taia of fire from this ship (the Wabash) fell upon the fort with aU tho cold precision of target practice. During the action I looked carefully at the fort with a powerful spy-glass. Shell fell In it. not twenty-eight in a minute, but as fast as a horse's feet heat the ground in a gallop. The resistance was heroic; but what could flesh and blood do against such a fire ? I watched two men particu larly. in red shirts: I saw them seated at the muz zle of a gun, apparently waiting exhausted for more ammunition. They were so still that I doubted whether they were men. This terrible fire fell around them I saw them move, and I knew the/ were men. They loaded the gun; u shell burst near them, and they disappeared ; doubtless blown into atoms. The Wabash was a destroying angel—hugging the shore; calling the soundings with cold mail ferenee : slowing the engine, so as only to give steerage way: signalling to the vessete their van ous evolutions ; and at the same time raining shells, as with target practice, too fast to count. Commodore Dupont had kindly made me his aid- I stood by him. and I did little things which I sup pose gained me credit. So when a boat was sent on shore to ask whether they had surrendered, I was gent. I carried the stars and stripes I found the ramparts utterly desolate, and I planted the Ame rican flag upon those ramparts with my own hands first to take bOSSeualon, iu the majesty of the United States, of the rebel soil of South Carolina. The Confederate forces were in an utter panic; they deserted everything. Arms, tents, personal nronerty were abandoned, as by men intent only upon safety and spurred by overwhelming fear. I was for an hour with only a boat s crew in the camp. I found a sword, mounted in solid sil ver, hilt and scabbard, which proved to be a blade with two golden lines of Arabic writing, doubtless a Pamascus blade and_an heir-loom. j l>t?sc-nted it to Commodore Pupout as nis right, for ho had taken it. In the same tent I found anew soldier’s scarf, still in it.** box of pasteboard. This I beg you to accept. In Fort Beauregard I found another scarf; this is for . It is a tro phy. and, as such- worth as much as yours, though it is neither so large nor so new. I found tranks enough to famish a shop, most of them twenty-five dollar trunks, locked; and I collected thorn for the wounded or the prisoners, of whom I took only five —all the rest had gone. I captured a negro, but having given him permission to deck himself in now clothes, I lost him. Ho stftld too long for me to wait. General Sherman said that he had no idea of such magnificent fighting, for the guns were eleven, ton, nine, and eight*inch guns, not horso artillery. Tho Wtibfish was awfully sublime in her destroying energy, and yet most coldly precise and mognifi oently fearless. The panic was wild, abject terror on the part of the •* Southrons.” Not a soldier had been landed, because it had not been possible for them to get on shore, except at the batteries, and, of course, not until the batteries were taken. Yet men strewed the read for miles with muskets, blankets, and knapsacks. One company, of about sixty horsemen, abandoned their horses and fled for life, while no one pursued. So say the contrabands. Ido not think tho importance of our acquisition can be exaggerated. The channel is fair for any wind with southing in it, the only dangerous ones. It admits the largest dlass of vessels; it is easily defended ; it is in tlie heart of South Carolina ; it is twenty miles from Savanßfth and thirty from Charleston; it has room for the navies of the world; it is a Fortress Monroe in South Carolina. SfNegroes are pouring in; they believe their con ition is to be bettered, The white men have all ficil. Vessels go up to Beaufort to-clay. This will be carried by Capt. Steedman, of the Bintrille , who followed the ~\Vahish into tho thick est fight, and behaved very gallantly. Beaufort has been taken by the gunboats, the town haying hfifili abandoned by tho whites. The negroes were pillaging the town. They said the whites were shooting them right and left, in order to drive them back into the interior. A boat which came off to the fceveca said one naan, giving his name, shot six of' tlie negroes.

It DE FENCiToi’ ARMAGEDDON, by I * Jt. F. IJ. PFTTS, Nashville, Tennessee.—This i*j the most remarkable human production that Ims ever been oilered to the American p* ople. The style is chaste ami truly eloquent. Theologians, Civilians, uud States men pronounce its arguments demonstrative. The miiji-rt tmitnl of ir> nioHt iiispirini; i iiTlin United fotates in I’rophoey.” The theory of Dr. Pitts is: That the United States in fori told in the Holy Scriptures, and that the battle of Armageddon is to be fought in the Valley of tho Mi isis -BJI‘JH. The I. nited States in Prophecy ho demonstrates hy two srglimvkhi tliclfit chrotiologioiil » the 2d geographical, Thu chronological argument is founded on the I‘iflO symbolic days, and the three and a half times embraced in tin* predictions of Daniel, chapter xii. That “the time of the end.” an age of great intellectual energy an<i adventure, was the age in which a great nationality would arise, ami that the United States arose qf (he end of the J2C*O aytiiholk-day*. The burning of the Temple being the starting point, the 1290dAy* ran out at a quar ter to three o’clock on the 4th of July, 177 G, at which hour, according to the best sources of information, tho Declaration cf Independence was read from the stops of tho old State House, on Chestnut street, in tho city of Philadelphia. . Another length of these times is 1335 days and will ml in 1875. These two lengths begin and clone “tho time of tho <*nd, v and answer to the rise of the American Bepublic, and its expansion into the Millennium. This argument. is purely mathematical, and, wo believe, un answerable. SECOND ARGUMENT—GsonnAPiuc.U.. That the people were to inhabit ft land “lying between the East ern and great Western seas;”.that this “land had al« wavs been waste; 15 that it wu* t<? l>*- located in “thirteen distinct Statesthat the people should “build and dwell safely in unwaHcd villages and cities, having neither gates nor bars,” “aland of broadjrivers and streamsa re public. where the people “ should appoint t> themselves one head, and their rulers and governors” should he from '‘amongst themselves,” and that our great country, an swering the predictions ko precisely of the nationality that wus to coiw*. is the nation born in a day—horn ou the 4th of July, 1770. The second piut of the work relates to the world's last conflict between civil and religious liberty on the one hand, and political and ecclesiastical despotism on the other. The voice of the prophetic Scriptures frequently and fully the -wurlWc of tilt WOrlll. Preparations for ages have anticipated the struggle, while the clangor of its trumpets is almost hoard, mar shalling its millions to the charge. It in true as destiny, and the gatherin<stormis rising. In the volume of in spiration it is called “theßattle of Gog,” “the Battle of Armageddon.” The United States will be invaded by monarchy; that Jhieaia will I><* tlu? leading Power ] that ‘England and all Hie autocracy of the world will be allied with Russia ex cept France. As she was with us in the beginning, so she will be with us in tho end; that the battle-field will be the Valley of the Mississippi ; that our glorious Con federacy will never dissolve. No storm-cloud in the North, or volcanic eruption’in the South, will ever di vide our great country. Aiul when the dreadful CltmilgP is oroL Olid victory shall parch upon America’* banner, confederated republics*, under the council of tho United States, will spring up in the. former habitations of despot ism, and our gloriouaßepublic, like an elder brother, will kindly instruct them in the principles of poptdar freedom. Thus, when the thrones of earth shall he destroyed, there shall be but one religion—the religion of Jesus— and but one'form of government, and that republican. Then the cloudless' splendor? of a new heavon -.hall beam Upon Anew efirth, Messiah reign, and earth keep jubilee a thousand years. In the language of the National Jn tell/gencer, the “theme is startling and sublime.” This book should be iu the hands of every American citizen.
