SELECT BRANCH,
Theo. C’i!j ler, president, in the chair.
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

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

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

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.
[Captain John Hodgers was the officer who first
raised the Slurs and Stripes over tho rebel forts,
and no doubt ho is tho author of the above lettor.—

men’s Furnishing Goods.

its Bale in this city is Mr. C H- M'ltU&n, dealer in fine

are assured by our private correspondents with the

truth whatever in report that General Sherman* in

speak approvingly of the military garments made at the
Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Bockhill & Wilson, Nos.

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.
