To the Honorable John Cadwalader,
Judge of the U. s. District Court of
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Grand Jury or thk dirtkict REsrEcxm,-
LY PRESENT,
That they have closed their labors by visits of
examination and inquiry to the prison at Moya
me using, and to (he Eastern State PenitentiAiy,
and also to the United States Navy Yard :
That the condition and discipline of the prisons
arc highly creditable to the parties to whom thoir
gM’criunont and regulation are entrusted; that the
provisions are of excellent quality, well conked,
and cleanly served ; that no complaint was made
by the prisoners; and that the Grand Jury receiv
ed and hereby acknowledge all facilities for tho
rough investigation from the principal officers—
namely, at Moyamensing, from Mr. W.B. Perkins,
superintendent, and Mr. J. IC. Howell, clerk, and
at the Eastern Slate Penitentiary, from Mr. John
S. Halloway. warden.
The Grand Jury desire to state that, beyond their
Inspection of (he prisons, tkdy W4r£ specially in
duced to visit Moymmuising. from a report having
been citcuinivu in uie duUiii, that ccriniu pi'iauaois
now in custody there, on the charge of piracy, were
maltreated or grossly neglected by tho United
States Government. There are now thirtjr«eiaht
such prisoners, of whom thirty-six—being the offi
cers and crew of the Petrel —remain untried. We
found all of these in good health, with the excep
tion of one man, whose bead had been injured be
fore ho was apprehended, and the captain of the
privateer Petrel , who suffers frsm rheumatism, and
•gratefully acknowledges the attention, kindness,
and skill of Dr. Henry Y. Smith, the medical at
tendant of tbc prison. We separately interro
gate and received no complaint,
cither of food or treatment. R. M. iiarvcy, who
acted as lieutenant of the Petrel , and was formerly
acting lieutenant in the U. S. navy, expressly re
turned his thanks for the kind attention of Mr.
Perkll? s ) which ? he said, could not be surpassed*
Harvey was the only person who preserved a. sup
ply of wearing nppnrcl. The others are very defi
cient in clothing; several also complained of the
want of shoes. We recommend that these wants be
especially as the cold season has com
menced. These prisoners complained tllftt tho pri
son regulations prevented the use of tobacco, which
becomes a sort of necessity to seafaring men. The
prohibition of tobacco, to untried prisoners, was
occasioned, we believe, by tbc desire to keep the
clean. Perhaps some modification of the
rule might be permitted, in the particular case of
these men ?
The Grand Jury received every attention and re
quired information from Captain G. J- Pendor
gffist. the Commandant of the Navy Yard. After
a long and careful examination, they present that
the U. S. Navy Yard at Philadelphia is wholly in
adequate to the exigencies of the country, wholly
unworthy of the situation and importance of the
&46tid city in tho United States, and strongly re
commend its extension hy the addition of adjoining
land, either by purchase or lease. In the thirty
fourth Congress of the United States, the Hon. Win.
Millward. now* the efficient U. S. Marshal of the
Eastern Division of Pennsylvania, introduced a
Bill for this purpose, which was passed by the
House of Representatives, but was not adopted by
the Senate.
The Grand Jury submit the following facts, in
evidence of the necessity of the proposed exten
sion of the navy yard:
This, from its central position, is the navy yard in
the United States, which, in time of war, maybe con
sidered as almost entirely secure from an enemy's
Attacks. Its facilities for the construction and repair
of war steamships, from its immediate proximity to
tho best Steam-lllaolnuery foundries in the United.
States, are so great that the Government must
mainly depend on them in future. Whenever tho
United States Government establishes a national
faqpdryf° r the construction of its own steam ma
chinery, Philadelphia, from its connection -with IliA
coal and iron products of the country, must be the
site, and, if so, it should be located in connection
with the navy yard. There is now only a single
wharf in the navy yard for the accommodation of
ships-of-war. The only d«S6k it COntftillg CM hold
only three such vessels at the most. There is a
great want of docks, into which ships wintering here
can be introduced, to proteet them from the effects
of stormy weather and drifting ice; consequently,
it is only by untiring vigil&fies, and at no small
cost, that vessels moored at the navy-yard wharf
are prevented from injury by floating ice, or heavy
winds and tides. It certainly appears remarkable
that the United States should have to pay heavy
charges for accommodating national ships, adjoin
ing its own navy yard here.
The Grand Jury feel that Philadelphia has a
strong moral as well as a great business interest in
having the Navy Yard made equal to the national
exigencies. If extended, the quantity of handi
craft and Other labor attracted to it would provide
for large numbers of industrious mechanics and
others. He have observed that want of employment
is the parent of poverty, and it is obvious that much
of the crifliS wbfcfe populates our prisons and peniten
tiaries arises from idleness and want.
The Grand Jury conclude this presentation by
respectfully requesting that this Honorable Court
will communicate to the proper authorities, their
unanimous opinion and recommendation that the
purposes of the United States not only warrant hut
absolutely require a considerable and immediate
extension of tbe Navy Yard of Philadelphia.

The State Educational Convention,
FIRST PAY'S PROCEEDINGS —MORNING SESSION'
Harrisburg, Nov. 27. 1301
Tho Educational Convention, comprising n large
cumber of school superintendents, teachers, and
others interested in the cause of education through
out the State, assembled this morning in the Senate
Chamber, in ihe Capitol. There were present re
presentatives of all the common school and collegiate
interests throughout the Commonwealth, quite a re
spectable number of whom were from Philadelphia
and vicinity.
The Convention was called to order at nine o’clock
A. M., by the State Superintendent of Common
Schools, Thomas 11. Durrowes.
On motion of Hi*. Bings, of Delawnra. ft commit
tee on organization was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Bings, of Delaware, Dr. Kennedy, of Philaj
delphia, Mr. Bowlman. of Indiana. Mr. Johns, of
Tioga, and Mr. Eroomall, of Oleaifieldi
The committee retired, and, after the lapse of a
few minutes, reported that a list of the officers had
been framed, with the exception of secretaries, in
the Mowing «rt,r;
Prerident—-Thomas H. Burrowes.

county; S. S. Overholt, of Bucks county; H. L.
Diffenbaeh, of Clinton county; Mr. —Morriaon,
of Lawrence comity,
Secretaries—o. It. Coburn, or Bradford; w. R.
Ford, of Indiana.
Treasurer—David Hcckendom. of Union.
On motion, Mr. Coburn was excused from, serving
as a vice president, and Air. Johns* of Tioga] was
substituted in bis stead.
After some discussion relative to a representation
of the different interests of the Convention in the
organization of that body,
Mr. Bmiihj of Indiana) moved that the report of
committee be adopted for the sessions oftfle present
day.
Mr. Ermentrout, of Berks, submitted an amend
ment referring the report back to the committee,
with instructions to report a list of officers for the
first day's session, to be composed of superintend
ents of schools.
(The interests represented in the Convention and
which were recognized in the organization, were the
high common school, normal school, and outside in
terests. Tim noademies and colleges ware not re
presented ; and as a feelin" of jealousy is known to
exist among educational interests generally, the
body was required to exercise considerable caution
in their choice of selection.]
The amendment ef Mr. Ermentrout, of Berks
county, was not agreed to; when the motion of Mr.
Smith, of Indiana, was adopted.
Some further revision of the list of officers was
then made, resulting in the choice of the following:
President—Thomas Li Burrowes.
Vice President—Mr. Morrison, of Lawrence.
General Secretary— H. C. Johns, of Tioga.
Division Secretary—N. Smith, of Mifflin.
Treasurer —David Heckendom, of Union.
Tk£ 6b6V£ wwe elected. officers for tho full session
(four days) of the Convention, with the reservation
that they might be superseded at tho end of each
day’s session.
The Convention was then addressed by the chair
man, Mr. T. L. Burrowes.
At the request of the president, a prayer was de
livered .
Mr. Burrowes. on taking his seat, made an appro
priate speech.
Dr, Kennedy. The chair has stated, on several
occasions, that no representation was present of a
certain body (the colleges). 1 do not wish the im
pression to go out that there was an entire indiffe
rence on the part of that branch of the educational
cause to have a fit representation in this Conven
tion.
The president remarked that his allusions had
reference to the general class of colleges which ex
ist all over the State, but which, in proportion to
their numbers, we meager!/ represented.
Mr. Otterman, of Snyder, moved the appoint
ment of a committee of five members, to suggest
business for the action of the Convention. The mo
tion was adopted. Messrs. Otterman, of Snyder;
Coburn, of Bradford ■ Ermontrout. of Berki■
Savage, of Erie ; and Jack, of Westmoreland, were
appointed said committee.
Mr. Bowlman, of Indiana, moved that the hours
yf- meeting and adjournment be fixed at nine and
twelve for tbc morning sessions, two and half past
four for the afternoon sessions, and half past six and
nine o’clock for the evening sessions.
The following list of subjects for consideration
was reported by the Committee on Business;
1. Standard of qualification of teachers as repre
sented in certificates, and the means of rendering it
uniform throughout the State.
2. School visitation by superintendents; it 3 main
object and tho mode ef performing it.
3. The relation of the county superintendent to
institutes—district and county.
4. The grading of school, and the duty of county
superintendents in promoting it.
On motion of Mr* Shoemaker* the feusaion of
the first-mentioned suhject was taken up, and occu
pied the remainder of the morning session.
The discussion was continued in the afternoon,
when the following resolution was adopted:
j ßuolv/it. That il oimnnlttee of three .sun^rm*
temlente be appointed by the Chair to report upja
topic No. 1 at a future time, and that tho committee
be instructed to consult and advise with tho princi
pals of the State normal schools, and also with the
State Department.
T he Rebel Exhaustion.
Th e Washington correspondent of the Now York
■£vetmiff Tost says: “Robert J, Walker assert*
with great positiveness that the rebel treasury will
completely hr**«k down before next March, and
that the rebi»H»<»n will by that time prove an nt r er
failure. Mr. Walker has had an extensive expe
rience in the South, and understands the capabili
ties of the rebel States as well as any pubtic man
not engaged in the rebellion. Other Southern men
here assert that, whiU he does not undOMfttO the
material resources of the South, ho docs not give
full credit to their desperate energy and bitter
hatred of the North. Prominent Kentuckians, who
are unquestioned friends of the Union and the Go-
Tcrnincnt, soy that, from their UttAwlfldjpi of South
ern character, they arc convinced that it will take
two or three great victories upon the battle-field to
cure the rebels of their folly. They assert that the
South cannot be starved into good citizenship, but
that anything which shall convince the great wasi
of Southern people of their inferiority on the field
of battle- will plunge them instantly in the depths
of despair.*’

[For Tbe Tre??.]
A statement has recently appeared In one of our
daily papers that Mr. Laurens waa captured on
board of an American vessel. Tho following ex
tract from Moore’s Diary of tho Revolution gives
a different account of the matter. Mr. Moore
cordite the passage to Upcott, vol. 0, page 56:
(December IP, J7SQ.) “ Early in September last
Mr. Henry Laurens was taken prisoner by the
British frigate Vestal, on his way from Congress to
the Court of Holland, and is now confined in the
Tower of London. A correspondent at Portsmouth*
England, gives the following account of his cap
ture : 1 Mr. Keppcl, the captain of the Vestal, was
on a cruise off tho coast of America, when he fell
in. with the ghtp whieh earned Mr. Lnurcns, the
president of the Amerioan Congress. It was a
Dutch vessel, laden with tobacco, and bound for
Holland. As soon as Mr. Laurens perceived tbo
English armed boat make up to the vessel in which
he was, he threw the box which contained his let
ters overboard, but tho lead that was annexed to it
proving insufficient for sinking it Ibliiiodiatfily, 0110
nf tbc da ring tars belonging to tho Vestal leaped
iroui tue uuul ani kepi- it uitaul lui the real assisted
him in lifting it.
“ ‘ Mr. Laurens was bound to Holland with a com
mDsiou from tho Congroig* and tho tenor of bis
business wus certainly of such a nature as must
have produced immediate hostilities between Eng
land and the States, if this accident had not inter
vened to protect us against this further misfortune.
Tho papers which have been found iuthe box above
mentioned are of tho utmost eonsuqueace; they
contain an explicit detail of his business with tbe
States, and a full description of his powers and
commission there. * * *
“ • Government have sent word that Mr. Laurens
should be brought to Lohdoft UftdftP A StVOBg gUAfd-
They have ordered one lieutenant to come in the
chaise with him, and two more in another vehicle
behind. How he is to be disposed of is as as yet a
doubt with the Administration. They arc in a
puzzle tv ho should bo iccuivod only ns an
American captive, or be sent to Newgate as a
rebel } ”
Proceedings of Councils.
The stated meeting of both branches of Councils was
held yesterday afternoon.
SELECT BRANCH,
Tiiko. CrvLEir. President, In tbe chair.
Theil&U a ! petitions and communications were received,
Wr« JIEiiAKV proauiitwl it jm-ujorinl from tin? Cooper's
Point and Philadelphia Steam Ferry Company, asking
for a reduction of tbe rent of Vine-street wharf.
Also, a communication.from Commodore I’endcrgrast,
of the Navy Yard, asking for the use of Prime-street
wlmrf for tho purpose of stowing coal.
Mr. Benton presented n communication from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company relative to forming a
connecting link bewcen said road and the Reading Rail
road.
Mr. FOX, of the Twelfth ward* tendered his resignation
as one of the jriut social Committee on Protection and
Defence of the city.
Mr.Foxsaid that it was with nolittle reluctance that he
tendered his resignation as a member of the Commilteeon
Defence. He formed friendships there which would ever
be cherished by him, but ttmi there had been many dif

with those who have the m litary organization known as
the “ Home Guard” in charge, as to the policy to be
adopted with regard to its development and maturity. It
had been projected in too largo a scale, and it was still
endeavored to keep it up to its original plan, namely, of
This bail always been to him utterly imprac
ticable, ami since the period when danger («.» otii* <ll(P Ap
peared impending has passed away it exhibits itself AS
really absurd—not because there are not brave and pa

the sufficient military spirit among those who originally
enrolled themselves in this organization still existing.
He regarded the Home (iuanl, ag planned out, a fillilre
—and save a few companies, who are manly exceptions, it
has even notv but a diminished ami sickly existence.
He had made an effort to limit it down to a smaller and
more practicable number, and had failed. Inasmuch as
tills BoJicT differed e» Titnlly fivnt ?!><> views of somoof
Ills colleagues, he felt that he was but contributing to
making quorums Of the committee and not adding to its
pi ogress : that the committee’s business was not

any reflections upon any one. lie could but say that

ly bills for expenditures were presented for their appro
val, when the first knowledge of them was when the bills
were produced. Again, the committee only exists as an
advisory body to the Mayor, who has an independent
power over a portion of the appropriation, to the extent
of $50,000, tho balance being to him in conjunction with
the committee. This appeared to Mr. Fox as discordant,
although so fixed by ordinance. In view of the uncom
fortable position of the speaker, voting so frequently in
the negative, he asked the Chamber to be relieved from
further doty on said coumittee.
The resignation wax accoptuiL

period, acceptable alike to Soldiers in Camp, to Peaceful
Firesides, to those who wish to obtain the latest war
nowgi and to those who desire to preserve in a eonvesient
form, for future reference, a correct History of tfte
